Over 12,000 Killed in Iran as Shah's Son Eyes Return and JD Hand Waves Murder in Minneapolis
Q: Is there a preference for a clergy takeover or a military takeover?
Preference is a luxury that they don't have right now, but ideally, a defector from the military who has the trust of the people would lead the transition.
Researcher Frank Spring On WTF Happened To the Dems
Q: How would you advise someone running for Senate to connect with rural voters?

Dr. Nadine Strossen On Why Free Speech Matters In The Age Of AI
Q: How are we supposed to combat hate using free speech when AI can spread hate at tremendous speeds?
