Does there exist yet an AI phone receptionist that can answer and qualify calls, take messages and only ring me for urgent authenticated phone calls or ones directly from my friends and family? I want to switch my main number to an AI phone screener. Seems easily built.

The pro-Palestine cause is using identity politics and victimhood to manipulate the public. They're portraying the conflict in racial terms, even though Jews are the minority in the Middle East. They compare themselves to black people, but Jews are more similar to black people.

Trevor Noah says he's "angry" at Tony Dokoupil for asking Coates simple questions about Israel. Then, he compares Hamas's Oct. 7 slaughter to the American Revolution. We are seeing the normalization of pro-Hamas sentiment and pro-terrorism ideology in elite liberal spaces.
