I did, and its sadly to be expected. It's been Netanyahu's MO this entire time. I wrote about it this week on Thursday.

I’ll look for your honorable writing, thank you. Even after the exchange, I pray the ceasefire agreement won’t be like before saying Hamas broke the deal. Stay safe.

Mr. Rashid-

First: Thank you for going out to Los Angeles to help victims of the wildfires be protected from the vulture capitalists trying to take advantage of people experiencing traumatic times. As a subscriber and supporter, I for one say please do not try to write your newsletter every single day so you can focus on helping people out in L.A.. Plus get some rest.

Second: Talk about Health Exploitation Limited Liability (HELL) corporations ! See recent news here in Virginia: U.S. Dept of Justice January 8, 2025 indictment of Chesapeake Regional Medical Center for fraud....allegedly falsifying records so they could bill millions of dollars for gynecological operations (including inducing early delivery of babies; sterilization of women) they knew were medically unnecessary.

Third: Monday is the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service.. People can find service projects online or create your own. ....something constructive to do that particular day.

End of message :)

Jennifer - Please, call me Qasim! Truly grateful for your trust, subscription, and support.

1. Thank you.

2. Thanks for the heads up. I'll read the indictment. There should be a lot more of these if we want to hold HELL Corps accountable.

3. Amen my friend.

WAPO is the print version of Fox News now. But I don't find lies "riveting." I quit WAPO and NYT 2 months ago and am mostly on Substack and Bluesky now, plus Ground News for ACTUAL news. So far, things are better, but not sure how I'll keep up once the orange one takes office. I remember the overload and anxiety/anger from 8 years ago.

Wash Post was once a great paper. Since a billionaire bought them they've become a mouthpiece for oligarchs, sadly.

Love the dad jokes - a laugh is beyond valuable right now. And since when are newspapers engaged in “storytelling?” Growing up in Appalachia, that’s what we called LYING.🤥

Best part of that dad joke is how much my wife didn't even see it coming.

And yeah, speaking of stories, the story of Wash Post's collapse is one I'm sure will be told soon.

Oh the irony in that new WA PO title. Whomever is advising these idiots is clearly tone deaf. Unbelievable. Yet, believable.

Yeah, the lack of self awareness is off the charts

oh wow, I actually thought WaPo changing their tagline from “Democracy Dies in Darkness” to “Riveting Storytelling for all of America.” was satire when I read it! 🤦🏽‍♀️Good Dad joke! 😁

I had to double check myself! And thanks :)

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I thought you were satirizing. I believe what you write, I know you have fact checked and I trust the information you give us. Thank you for all you do!
