    That's a tactic typically used by undermanned/underdog forces. They either don't get hit, or the side that hits them takes a brutal PR hit.

    I actually found this pretty restrained given what happened.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said of the Israeli killings of our team, “It happens in war.” It was a direct attack on clearly marked vehicles whose movements were known by the Israel Defense Forces.

    Jose Andres is just a really good man who knows what he's good at, has a can-do spirit and took his success in life and found a way to help other people in bad circumstances. I really admire him.

    I look really closely at how charities are run before I donate to them, and for anyone thinking about giving to World Central Kitchen. ... it is exemplary in its transparency and how much of what they manage to raise actually makes its way to feeding people. If you give them $1, 99 cents of it is going to make its way into a meal somewhere where there was a natural disaster or there is a war. The people running it don't pay themselves in an overly extravagantly way, the way you see with some other charities with similar missions. It's just a really well run charity, and I'd encourage anyone on here looking for a good place to donate to to consider them.

    About a year ago I saw Jose Andres going to lunch at an Indian restaurant in a junky strip mall across from the Patagonia HQ in Ventura. That’s it, that’s the tweet.

    After its Easter strike in Syria and Iran's vows of revenge, Israel has withdrawn embassy personnel at locations around the world, and advised staff to avoid public appearances.

    Almost guaranteed gas prices will rise prior to the election.

    Well, they’re going to go up during summer travel season. As always. The stories will start just before Memorial Day.
