Happy New Year from The Bachelor!  However the Heir feels as if the politicians did us a disservice by trying to get us all stressed out about a possible war with Iran.  You have Bill diBlasio publicly making allusions to both Hiroshima and 9/11, and then it turns out Iran just lobbed a few missiles at a couple of US army bases.  The Heir waited until now to make a comment on this point because he wanted confirmation as to whether there were casualties.  He tuned into audio this morning, analog radio, and he didn't hear that there were any.  No promise in the future of course but he never really believed that anything big was really going to happen as a response to the death of General Soleimani.  Both the politicians and the media indicated otherwise at the time, and again this serves to take away from the Media's supposed reputation as a so-called fourth estate.  It was kind of a 1% Doctrine on part of the media: If there's even a 1% chance of a major retaliation, act as if it's a certainty.

"Come on, people.  Really?"
