I'm Dinesh D'Souza and I'm thrilled to be on this censorship-free platform.
How crazy! I used to think America was a censorship-free platform.
I'm looking forward to being myself here! To sharing my take on a whole range of issues, primarily politics, but also history, philosophy, religion, and so on.
By way of background: I was born in India, came to America at the age of 17 as an exchange student, studied at Dartmouth, worked in the Reagan White House, served as a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution, and have written a bunch of books--17 or 18 at last count--and made five documentary films including "2016: Obama's America" and "Hillary's America." I now do a daily podcast that is available in audio on Apple, Spotify and Google, and on video on YouTube and Rumble.
I was approached by Locals and introduced to the platform. Wow, what a great place to be, and how wonderful as a creator to have this kind of control over the forum I intend to create here.
I want my posts to be uninhibited, candid, constructive, and action-oriented. So not merely "We gotta act," but rather "Here's what we need to do, and here's what you can do."
I hope you'll join me on this new and fascinating voyage. Call it a "second sailing," if I can use a term borrowed from the ancient Greeks.
I also intend to spend time on this platform, so I can read what you have to say, and interact with my audience as much as possible. This is, in a sense, my "inner circle."
Here's hoping that we can revive free and open conversations on pressing and legitimate issues, and that we can help the country find its way in a time of pressing need.
This isn't just a place for you to hear from me, this is a community for US. Create your own post and share a bit about yourself. I look forward to hearing from you.
A gang of goons, acting on the authority of King Zedekiah of Judah, threw the prophet Jeremiah into a pit.
Two of them were Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Gedaliah son of Pashur.
Both men have been historically corroborated through the archaeological discovery of clay seal impressions dated to the sixth century B.C. bearing their names.
And that’s me, below, in the actual pit into which Jeremiah was tossed. Debbie my wife took his short video of me in Jerusalem earlier this year.
But how did Jeremiah survive?
“Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs of the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon…” (Jeremiah 38:7)
So the king’s own men put Jeremiah in there, but a low-ranking Ethiopian decided to take matters into his own hands.
Ebed-melech approached the king—a daunting task that involved great personal risk—and remarkably got permission to get Jeremiah out.
It took 30 men to pull Jeremiah out since he was trapped in the caked mud at the ...

What can fossilized donkey dung tell us about the reach of King Solomon’s rule in the 10th century B.C.?
The Bible depicts Solomon as a rich, wise and powerful king, ruling over a unified Israelite kingdom.
For centuries, skeptics and “minimalists” said Solomon’s kingdom was small and inconsequential.
Then copper mines were discovered in the Timna Valley in the far south of Israel.
Copper mines are a potential source of wealth and international trade.
But who had control of these mines?
The skeptics and minimalists offered a plausible answer: Egypt! Egypt was the great power in the Near East in the 10th century B.C.
But donkey dung found in the area sent archaeologists, led by Erez Ben-Yosef of Tel Aviv University, in a different direction.
The dung was surprisingly well-preserved, and there was also a large amount of it.
Scholars analyzed the seeds and pollen in the dung, and could tell from its ingredients that the donkey was raised in or near Jerusalem.
How could they possibly know that? ...
