Dear Patient Readers,
We would appreciate any feedback you may have regarding iPhone abnormalities.
1. I bought a Faraday bag for my phone because I’ve always known that switching my phone to airplane mode and then turning it off still doesn’t provide complete protection. However, when my phone was in the Faraday bag (with airplane mode off) and properly sealed, the text beeped. I was worried that the Faraday bag wouldn’t work as advertised, but I managed to buy the Faraday dud.
How can I get a reliable Faraday bag? It has good reviews, so I’m not sure if I can verify it.
2. He also had his cell phone receive text messages while in airplane mode (which Bolt considered an urgent matter). I made sure I was in airplane mode, but then I got a second text shortly after. I read later that this problem can occur if WiFi calling is turned on, but I’ve never noticed it and always have it turned off. So this was a creepy anomaly, like Bolt had gotten into my phone.

Col. Larry Wilkerson: Israel’s complete defeat, Netanyahu’s arrest warrant – Russia advances hypersonic dialogue. Wilkerson is always worth listening to, and he tells some very important facts here. I discussed my earlier recollection that Wilkerson had estimated the number of wounded during the fighting in Lebanon (as well as Just Lebanon) at 4,000. One reader objected to this. Starting at 21:20, using the latest Haaretz report that the IDF death toll in Lebanon reached 800, using our combat death tolls v. Ratio of wounded in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq (Appropriate field hospital (as well as access to hospitals, Israel certainly has better access to current hospitals) at 1:11 and 1:12, the number of wounded during the fighting in Lebanon must be at least 8,000, which means that for Israel It’s huge.

South Korea claims Russia sent missiles to North Korea in exchange for Al Jazeera forces. So let’s be clear…Russia was short on missiles and needed to get more from North Korea. But now Russia has about 1 million people in the army and even more on the list, but does it need personnel to replace them and does it also have missiles to spare?
Russia’s weapon is the hit-seller Marat Khairlin. As expected.

Sooner or later, it was bound to happen. The level of panic in these patients was truly remarkable. It seemed to be getting better.
And today happened –
A XX-year-old woman was found dead in her late mother’s home in New York City. GSW up to the throat.
A suicide note was written – she could not live in a country ruled by Trump. Not only that – she did it in New York because she didn’t want to leave Earth as a red nation – and she didn’t want to give a red nation the privilege of being her exit point.
The coroner’s official I spoke to had a very strong accent, and he said it was number 15 or 18, but I couldn’t understand it at all.
