@KnoxieLuv So this is interesting. If you ask Siri who owns the Dallas Mavericks, it will tell you Mark Cuban has owned them since 2000, but if you ask “Do the Adelsons own a Dallas athletic team?”, it will say “the Adelson family owns a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks.”
Completed in 1978, Dallas City Hall was designed by I. M. Pei as a monumental symbol of civic renewal. Its seven-story concrete façade slopes outward at 34 degrees, with each floor extending approximately nine feet beyond the one below—creating larger upper offices while sheltering the public spaces beneath from the Texas sun. The building and its 4.7-acre plaza were conceived as one continuous civic complex.
In June 2026, the Dallas City Council authorized up to $3 million to investigate alternative locations for City Hall and emergency operations. No demolition has been approved, and renovation technically remains an option, but the decision has intensified fears that Pei’s Brutalist landmark could eventually be abandoned or redeveloped.
Days later, the World Monuments Fund included Dallas City Hall among ten sites on its new Irreplaceable America list, citing an immediate risk of abandonment or demolition after years of deferred maintenance and development pressure.
Should Dallas restore it—or move on?

ISRAELIS ATTACK CNN CREW AND U.S CONGRESSMAN🇺🇸🇮🇱
A CNN crew was attacked by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank village of Sinjil, with their vehicle surrounded, damaged, and its tires slashed. Israeli police said several suspects were detained carrying knives and clubs.
U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna also said armed settlers blocked his delegation in the Hebron Hills, surrounded their vehicle with M4 rifles, cursed at them, and held them for over an hour.
Khanna said Israeli soldiers arrived but stood by talking with the settlers instead of helping, adding: “THE ARMY WAS ON THEIR SIDE.” Police later intervened and allowed the group to leave.

I've just visited the largest funeral in history, where millions mourned Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian leader who was assassinated by the US-Israeli coalition along with members of his family
It is practically impossible to understand what this scene is like, or what it means, unless you're here. I've met people from around the world who've come to pay respects, including many from across the West. The crowds pouring in are endless, and grow larger and more intense into the night.
From Tehran's Mosala, there are indignant calls for vengeance, displays of sorrow and defiance, protest, songs and marathons of poetry. These days of mourning will amount to one of the most resonant moments in the history of anti-imperialist movements.
Everyone I've spoken to believes war will return to Iran before long, and none trust the MOU with the US. But they are confident their country can deter another assault. They see their own citizens' mobilization as an integral component of Iran's survival.
If the assassination of Khamenei was designed to spur regime change, his funeral demonstrates how badly it has backfired. And the crime may blow back in ways its historically illiterate authors could have never imagined.
What we're witnessing in the Mosala consolidates the Islamic Republic and its revolutionary society as a political reality that can not be erased through regime change war or sanctions. This is a turning point in the region that will echo for a generation.
