Who’s the Victim Here?

I recently viewed a video on X that really angered me. The video’s star was a not unknown Rabbi (on television shows, as a political commenter). He was screaming at the video creator and screaming into the street that he was being attacked by the film maker. It was clear he wasn’t being attacked, at least not physically. He was being verbally assaulted by, well, someone that’s not a fan. You can watch the video here. The “Rabbi” stops a police car. No kidding. This is the eternal victim. Yes, I know Jews have been persecuted around the world for, well, forever. But this night, I think this teacher went a little overboard to assert his victimization.

Belief Isn’t Reality

If the truth were to come up and smack you in the face, would you recognize it? I sometimes think not based especially on what is going on not only in government, but around the world. Do we need to define what truth means inn order for people wake up from their deep sleep of trust, don’t verify? These are questions we atheists ask most days. There are a lot of people that would absolutely love to come and smack a few of us in the face. Of course, our reality wouldn’t change. Well, mine wouldn’t.

Moving the Goalpost

Why is it such a big secret as to who the U.S. is negotiating with in Iran to end the conflict? First, the U.S. claims it has beheaded the beast, then the same at a lower level, then individual killings, the latest being the Iranian Admiral of the Navy. So who’s left to talk to? No one has seen or heard the late Ayatollahs son since he was formally elected to his father’s position. There is no one standing up claiming anything, publically.

Is There Anymore to Add?

Let me begin by announcing that I have no idea who killed Charlie Kirk. Whoever he was. I understand some kid is under arrest waiting trial and until he’s either convicted or acquitted, maybe the speculation and conspiracy theories should just pipe down already. There’s plenty of time to launch any speculative conspiracy you want. The JFK theorists have been going on for six-three years. We still don’t know who killed him (Lee Harvey Oswald) and there are lots of books and documentaries that concern everyone from the mob to the CIA – even to the office of Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon Johnson. Some of what I’ve read, seemed plausible. But a good writer can take. miss-mash of data and turn it into coincidence stating there are no coincidences.

Yes, There’s a Loyal Opposition

I watched a great debate recently on one of my favorite youTube channels having to do with the Iran conflict. The debate was very stimulating and to some degree, informative.I was aware of one of the guests position because he has his own channel and discusses Iran a lot lately. The other genterlman (and I use that term loosely) was unknown to me and he kept trying to make points by ad hominem attacks, mostly. As we all know, this is the last desperate gasp of those that have no argument to make and nowadays we are witness to a. lot of the coming from, well, that side of the debate.
