Some De Facto ‘Emendations’ to the Bill of Rights

Additions shown in brackets.  Deletions struck through. Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof [including co-opting the administrative branch of government by a union of fanatical eschatology-craving fundos and equally fanatical Zionists-in-residence]; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press [except for […]

USDA Moves To Let Slaughterhouses Self-Regulate, Risking Food Safety

While USDA inspectors will still be present at every plant, the agency estimates that there will be as much as a 40% decrease in inspectors at some facilities.

Does the New ‘Joker’ Glorify White Male Violence?

“I do yawn at the idea of another story in which white men are offered a sort of understanding for their violence.” The new comic book movie Joker has already drawn significant buzz long before its official wide release in October: praise for the film and its titular star Joaquin Phoenix’s acting—and mounting theories that […]

Trump’s Cabinet Already Has More Ex-Lobbyists Than Obama Or Bush

“An administration staffed by former industry lobbyists will almost certainly favor industry over the general public.” In less than three years, President Trump has assigned more former lobbyists to Cabinet-level positions than former Presidents Obama and Bush did in two full terms, according to a new report from the Associated Press. The news comes in […]

Can the US Accept That There Is a New Strategic Balance in the Middle East?

The Houthi drone strike on Aramco shows the shifting strategic balance in the Persian Gulf. It also shows that any escalation in this region threatens the global economy. The intricate war dance among the U.S., the Saudis and Iran on the Houthi attack on Aramco oil installations may still not lead to a shooting war […]

The New Pivot Point: Iran Wants Peace but is Ready to Embrace War to Survive

Appeals Court Reinstates Lawsuit Against Trump

“I got sued on a thing called emoluments. Emoluments. You ever hear of the word? Nobody ever heard of it before.

Meet Robert O’Brien, Trump’s New National Security Adviser

While some see Robert O’Brien as a step away from John Bolton’s hawkish, pro-war foreign policy, others consider him a traditional “foreign policy elite” sold on U.S. exceptionalism.

An Introduction to the Endocannabinoid System (What is it?)

The ECS maintains our well being by regulating key biological aspects of our body. Most importantly, it plays a central role in keeping our body in homeostasis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is an effective health supplement because we have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our body to interact with it. While the endocannabinoid system’s primary purpose is not to engage with […]

Will Americans Let Trump Start World War III for Saudi Arabia and Israel?

If Americans fail to speak out now, we may discover too late that our failure to rein in our venal, warmongering ruling class has led us to the brink of World War III.

Trump Administration To Revoke California Fuel Emission Standards

“This will be the biggest fight in environmental law since the Clean Power Plan.
