Spent three years trying to get an agent for a novel I wrote about the opioid epidemic. It's based on a true story; my fiance died of an overdose. Well written and researched. Alas, I am a straight white male and the opioid epidemic has been "white-coded." Got maybe a handful of manuscript requests despite sending out 200+ emails (each individually written and tailored to the lit agent I was reaching out to...a lot of effort).
So, I did a little experiment. Changed my email address and name to something that screamed NOT A WHITE MALE. And wouldn't you know it, I received WAY more interest.
Bar should be fired for failing to recognize the danger of Hamas before 10/7 and the AG should be fired for engaging in lawfare against Bibi and the coalition The analogy to Truman and MacArthur is correct as would be an analogy to Lincoln’s relieving many generals who were incompetent and the replacement of naval and army commanders by FDR after Pearl Hatbor
Ronen Bar is attempting to protect his ass for his - amongst others - failures to take seriously and act upon the Intel they had received about Hamas’ activities, a failure which resulted in the horrors of October 7th upon the country and it’s people.
He and his ilk are erecting a judicial Wall of Jericho, not only to escape their punishment for such grievous errors, and to deflect blame, but to reignite the project they started before the war during the Judicial Reform unrest, and that is to unseat the Netanyahu government.
Something similar is occurring in the US, with a cordon of rogue judges erecting a wall of resistance in an attempt to stop, stall and prevent the duly elected President from executing his lawful powers as Chief of the Executive branch of government.
I don’t know how the remedy that God directed in the Bible which brought down the Walls of Jericho would translate into today, but it did involve the whole of the people to unify and cry out against those walls, which in a short time brought them tumbling down.
I shall pray unceasingly for the same to happen here and in Israel, and pray God, soon see those walls fall.
Comment one: Israel continues a robust and contentious political process during wartime. Ukraine not so much. Comment two: I rarely (more likely never) read anything published after 2000. If not actively censored, is "self-censored" by authors to get published. Most editors live East of the Hudson River and have similar editorial criteria.
White men who are allowed entry into this club are usually gay men. Ridiculous. There are still grants excluding white men who give money for only promise (No work) or retribution. Look at the art produced via CRT..... mostly banal copies or high school quality portraits. Women run most art related programs right into the Identity trap. Great art suffers because white men created almost every masterworks
Please can you explain why the left is determined to bring the government down in the middle of the longest war Israel has had to fight. Is there anyone on the left who is strong enough to stand against Biden? Anyone who would try to get the hostages out without caving to Hamas and Hezbollah?
Anyone who would count the lives of the idf as valuable as the hostages?
“Is rolling balls the best antidote to trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder?” That’s a bizarre characterization of this study, which seems only to indicate a prophylactic effect. Is anyone suggesting that these substances be imbibed prior to anticipated traumatic events?

I published a novel with an opioid theme in 2021, didn’t need an agent, look into Hyperidean Press
I ended up self-publishing via Amazon, but that non-traditional route obviously came with limited reach and impact. Thank you, though.

Historically, authors of disfavored groups wrote pseudonymously .
