How boring it would be to live in a country where everyone looked the same. I love America because it's like a living in a patch work quilt. Different colors, different pieces for different people. It's all so colorful and that's the way life should be.

There's a saying, "Variety is the spice of life." I find that it can be applied to many things in design as well as environment. Mix it up. Have fun. Be creative. Relax. Love. You have but one life while you're here. Make the most of it. If someone wants to hate another, that's their problem but don't make it America's.

Mr. Ali, I can give you my vow that when North America is under my charge, I shall bury Israel in sanctions, punch it in the gut with an arms embargo and will order the expulsion of EVERY Israeli diplomat.

In addition, I will fully recognize the state of Palestine and even allow the construction of a Palestinian embassy.

Great interview, appreciate that Grim & Scahill have unimpeachable integrity and followed their guts and sense of duty to create the new outlet. Hope you have Scahill on sometime in the future. Thank you for time for chai and an intelligent chat!

Your take on Friedman's article is sheer stupidity. That those 2 things are in the same paragraph is not to conflate or equate them. You are the one making that value judgment not Friedman. Then for good measure adding your own extrapolation of an Arab as 1% of a Jew to be imputed to Friedman. As a matter of fact I live overseas and I get both US and International CNN. You are talking nonsense. CNN running AIPAC anti Andy Levin ads does not constitute what you are implying. I don't know the exact legalities around networks being required to run political ads. but all networks run them. Sinwar's wife had a $32K handbag? I never saw that on CNN. What the fuck are you babbling about.

Absent the atrocities of October 7 none of this would be happening. No one wants peace less than Hamas. No one values Gazan civilian lives less than Hamas. There was in fact a ceasefire on October 6 as you know. You can call it a ceasefire or de-escalation or whatever euphemism you prefer all it means is Hamas will break it again at a time of their choosing (or Iran's choosing). And every iteration of that Hamas does more and more damage. You don't want a ceasefire. You want Israel to surrender and Hamas to dictate the terms of that surrender. Take ownership of that and let's cut the bullshit.

I’ll say the quiet part too loud.

The media, just like Hollywood and the banks are controlled by Zionist. Plain and simple. If some owners are not Zionist, like Bezos and the owner of LA times, they are controlled, threatened and blackmailed by Zionist.
