Abolish the IRS. Politics, Video Games, and a more spiritual/holistic take on mental health. Devil’s Advocacy comes naturally.





Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, hired to direct the next Star Wars theatrical film starring Daisy Ridley, on her filmmaking philosophy: "I like to make men uncomfortable. I enjoy making men uncomfortable. Recognize that I am working to bring something that makes you uncomfortable, and it should make you uncomfortable." Is this the right philosophy for the director of the next Star Wars film?


















I’ve said this before and I will say it again: Trump made a mistake starting this war, made the right decision ending it, and can STILL turn it into a win for the U.S. and the region This is how: 1. Accept a proposal similar to the pre-war Oman offer, which includes an essential dismantling of their nuclear program 2. Offer to unfreeze Iranian assets and the lifting of sanctions in exchange for Iran dismantling their proxy network (mainly Hezbollah) 3. Optional, allow a very temporary Iranian toll booth at the Strait of Hormuz as part of the reparations, and if lucky, Iran may kickback a small % of the proceeds to the U.S. This could become the beginning of an era of normalization between Iran and the West 4. Force Israel to withdraw from Lebanese territories as Hezbollah’s military wing gets disarmed/disbanded This way the Iranian people enjoy a better life with the sanctions lifted, the U.S. pulls Iran slightly away from China’s orbit, and the dismantling of Iran’s proxy network brings peace to the region and removes threats Israel uses to justify their aggressive foreign policy Downsides: 1. The same Iranian regime that massacred protesters remains in power (that ship has sailed, regime change operation failed) 2. Lebanon loses a deterrent against Israeli invasion (France, the U.S. and the Arab world need to help re-arm the Lebanese Army) 3. The Gulf need to accept Iran as a permanent superpower in the region (that process has already begun) Of course this outcome is unlikely, the world is far from a utopia, but Trump may still pull off something similar, something that could be considered a win for all parties involved.
