My my contention is they have to look at and I plead with them to look at what's happened. Why? Why do we have this happening, continuously happening?

That was the excuse to juror. That was the excuse to juror. That was not the problem. This would have happened if there had been peace in Jerusalem.

Hamas does it every few years. They just wait for an excuse. And and they're smart and they're pushed by Iran to do it. So they're going to keep doing it. There's always going to be.

But fair enough, Alan. But I think I would at the very least, we should be able to condemn what Israel did. I think they're extremely, extremely aggressive acts that we know are going to be extremely provocative.

It's called The Problem of Democracy and it's available right now.

This was a sort of broad conspiracy by both government actors and a private company to, to destroy my First Amendment rights and to interfere with my contract with Twitter.

It was discussed in detail regarding the alarming number of men of prime working age who are not working or looking for work, and how this has been happening for decades.

"

If you take a look at last month's numbers, they're lower than they were in 1940 at the tail end of the Great Depression. So we really do have a depression-scale problem for work for men in the United States.

For every guy who is out of work and looking for a job these days, there are over four who are neither working nor looking for work.

For the first two decades of the post-war era, there was no sign of this problem at all. Then starting around 1965, a flight from work by men started to become evident in these numbers.

They say that they do almost no civil society stuff... They say almost no religion worship, almost no charitable or volunteering activities.

2,000 hours a year on average of looking at screens, that's as much as a full-time job for a lot of people.

Episode: Media's "October Surprise," and Meghan's Relations...

It was described as a heartbreaking look at Charles's childhood and how he was bullied, which may have shaped him into the man he is today, including his difficult relationship with his parents and his affair with Camilla.

"

He writes home, 'the people in my dormitory are foul. Goodness, they're horrid. I don't see how anybody could be so foul.'

It didn't help that he snored because according to the prince, most nights he was pummeled with shoes, pillows and fists. 'I simply dread going to bed,' he complained, 'because I get hit all night long' and wrote about this school that it was a prison, the worst place on earth, pure torture. I hated every minute of it.

He was infatuated with Camilla from the get-go after that first meeting.

Can you find the words to sum up how you feel today? Both of you. Difficult to find the right sort of words, isn't it really? Just delighted and happy. And I'm amazed that she's been brave enough to take me on. And I suppose in love. Of course. Whatever in love means.

Well, it obviously means two very happy people.
