I will not listen to MSM news about this Iran War...

I just peek online, read/ listen to say Aaron Parnes or read DU.... I am watching the Walking Dead re-runs....some Food Network.... I feel sooooo much better for tuning out essentially...

I can't feel like I have even a sense of control....so, I seek inner peace for myself and sanity.

If Congress enables this...I so hope we protest each and everyone of them....Massively!

We all need to speak up and do what we can to motivate each member of Congress to at least put up some guardrails...

Segment streamed starting about two hours ago

His audio is spotty at the beginning but gets better

Takeaway so far is that Iran is fighting back. Striking several places in the region

I don't watch news and opinion videos either, on YouTube or anywhere else. I've got them blacklisted here on DU.

I do watch DU Lounge type videos, so long as they are not AI.
