THE HEAVENS—Her heart breaking when she discovered the Almighty fumbling over the most basic words on the page in front of Him, country music icon and noted humanitarian Dolly Parton was reportedly troubled to discover Wednesday that God was illiterate. “I just about washed off my makeup from crying when I saw the Lord struggle to sound out my name in the Book of Life, but now I’m thinking I might’ve been called here for a reason,” said Parton, adding that it was never too late to learn to read, not even if someone existed before the creation of the universe itself.

To use these bases again, we will have to radically improve our air defense and counter-UAS capability in the region. Advanced air defense systems don’t grow on trees. The problem then becomes math: where do you pull from to protect the Gulf States? There’s not a good option.
