USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
Tod Hipsher is a retired captain from the Los Angeles County Fire Department
He says TMZ contacted him trying to get him to give details on Spencer Pratt staying in a hotel
He implies this is disgusting behavior from TMZ
“TMZ — They called me, they found me, the retired fire captain that's posting about Spencer Pratt. They wanted to talk to me about him living in the Bel-Air Hotel, which, you know, the guy just actually lost his whole house. His, you know, family is unsafe. He's running for political candidacy of mayor of Los Angeles, which is an absolute shithole, needs help. It's on life support.
And they're worried about where the guy's staying? He deserves to stay in a nice place. You know, he's going to make a change and we need to keep supporting him. So Let's support Spencer Pratt”
TMZ is trash. There’ll have candid discussions about how Los Angeles has been destroyed and then in the same breath tell you to keep voting Democrat
You know what it is, they are a new organization that needs the chaos and destruction. They need the stories. They are profiting off the misery of LA residents
I’m Jewish. I have family history that makes what’s happening in NYC right now impossible to ignore. This past week, mobs targeted synagogues in Brooklyn. A child was attacked. This is not politics, this is hatred, in plain sight, and too many people are scrolling past it. I made this video because silence has a cost. History has proven that. “Never Again” is not a slogan. It’s a responsibility. And that responsibility is yours too, whether you’re Jewish or not. Watch this. Share it. Say something. #neveragain
Ana Kasparian on @PiersMorgan yesterday: “The Gaza Health Ministry historically has been accurate and very careful when publishing death toll, it’s always confirmed and underestimated.”
Palästinenser schicken Jungs vor, um israelische Soldatinnen sexuell zu belästigen. Sie filmen alles und hoffen auf eine Überreaktion. Das „verkauft“ man dann als „israelische Gewalt gegen Kinder“.
So geht Propaganda: das Wohl des Kindes - uninteressant.
People forget this part of history.
Israel defeated Egypt in war and then gave back the entire Sinai Peninsula - an area bigger than Israel itself - in exchange for peace.
Israel withdrew from Gaza completely in 2005, removing its own settlements and citizens.
Parts of the West Bank were handed over to Palestinian governance under the Oslo Accords.
The Golan Heights wasn’t returned because Syria never made peace and the area overlooks northern Israel strategically.
So the narrative that Israel just “occupies land and never gives anything back” is simply not true.
Land was returned where peace was possible.
Land was held where war was still the reality.
That’s not ideology. That’s strategy and survival.
