So, is Tulsi Gabbard now considered a reliable source of intelligence ? And that it should be no one's concern about a regime that is stretched for resources yet has over a dozen very expensive facilities working on militarizing nuclea

My only quibble with what you said is that this war was started by Iran on 10/7/23. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc - these were all part of the self proclaimed "Axis of Resistance". People may disagree on the ethics of w

You seem to have a mindset that prevents you from perceiving reality. Israel is a country where all of its people live peacefully with each other according to the same rules, including the 20% of its population is Arab. The problem Israel h

My take on this is that unlike other "refugees", Muslims were in power for 1200 years, and when that was taken away in 1920, they simply could not come to terms that they were now peer level with non-muslims. 50 generations of pol

No revision of history here. The Jews were living "happily" alongside the Muslims in the same way Native Americans have been living "happily" alongside the Europeans for the past 150 years. What choice do they have ? Fac

Interesting. I provided three facts and an opinion that 1200 years of rule created a mindset that would not allow for the independence of those considered "inferior". You also realize that this 1200 year rule was based on violent

I agree there was always bias in the media. I think that back in the day, when things were not as polarized and not everything was corrupted by politics, the biases were not as large or as important - there was a lot more common ground. Tod

I am simply comparing them on a political spectrum of progressive, left, right, etc. This is independent of lawsuits. There are a number of news outlets that have settled lawsuits - ABC, CNN, CBS (imminent), Newsmax, to name a few. Yes, Dom

Well, she had plenty of time to reflect on what she did not remember and had a perfect opportunity in the NPR interview to address that. Watch the Senate hearing. This was not a person that did not want to make an offhand statement. This wa

I agree that NPR is "trustworthy" in the sense that what they directly say is usually reliable, what I have a huge problem with is what they leave out or how they redirect. A perfect example of this is in my previous post. I was l

I will give you that, sometimes fox news is like a ChatGPT hallucination. And the ads are unbearable - my pillow and vegetable pills. This is more than made for by the interviews - Trump, Vance, Harris, Zelensky, the doge team, etc. Speakin

I watch/listen to a variety of news sources - CNN, Fox News, NPR, NYTimes, WSj, as well as a number of smaller podcasts and substacks. There are no longer "unbiased" news sources, all sources have moved to either the left or

At least as many Jews were displaced in surrounding countries as Palestinians were displaced. How does this get resolved ? Who is the guarantor that this new Israel will not simply turn into another Lebanon/Syria/etc where the min

("parent commentator") yes, any settlements outside the pre-67 borders should be dismantled, they are wrong, and criminal, and will never allow for peace. Anyone responsible for this should be removed and banned from power, at th

well, that is a lot to take in. "predicated on the dispossession of and discrimination against an indigenous population" I am unaware of anything like this in Israel's laws. I assume what you mean by this is the Nakba, which

Regarding the West Bank/Gaza: My opinion is that settlements should be removed and there needs to be a path to a Palestinian state. An act of good faith would be to remove the settlements unilaterally, unfortunately, that did not work

I agree that there is discrimination in the occupied territories. I also have the personal view that Israelis should not be in the occupied territories (the settlements), and that there needs to be a clear path to a Palestinian state. Clear

We spend $14K per person, or $4.5T on healthcare in the US. The typical cost for healthcare in comparable countries is 1/2 of that per person. There is $2.25T per year of savings to be had. We can eliminate our national debt in 15 year

Also, Nietzsche's eternal recurrence, written in 1888, although published much later. While its physical basis is similar, its relevance in his context is on how to evaluate and live your life.
