Telemedicine Is Changing the Way We View Health Care
Rather than looking to Washington to craft policy or mandate insurance coverage, we need to fundamentally rethink the way we view health care. If we really want to foster an environment where innovation can occur, we ought to look to tech innovation rather than bureaucrats. And this is exactly where people have been looking elsewhere around the world.

Residents gathered in Stuart, Florida, in August to protest the use of Roundup in their community and demand a ban on the herbicide. [1]
In addition to concerns that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, causes cancer, a much more immediate issue brought about the rally: fears that the chemical contributes to toxic algae blooms in Lake Okeechobee and the St. Lucie River.

European Holocaust had Roots in Africa, Now Namibia is Suing Germany
Without understanding what happened to the Herero and Nama people, it is impossible to understand what occurred right before and during World War II
In 2014, after I published my report about Namibia, exposing the German ‘semi-denial’ that it had committed a Holocaust in its former Southwest African colony; a renowned German university sent me a letter. I paraphrase here, but the essence of the letter is kept intact: -

The Moral Problem With Most Gun Free Zones
Some might object to this by arguing that one’s chance of criminal victimization is so rare that the government does nothing wrong by refusing to provide a heightened standard of protection.

Can Corruption In Government Be Legislated Out Of Existence By... Corrupt Politicians?
While the DCCC (+ EMILY's List and the Republican billionaires funding No Labels) are busy making sure conservative, status quo Democrats prevail in primaries, stalwart progressives are offering hope to voters by offering new programs that will never be passed, largely because even with a big Democratic majority in the House, too many of them will always oppose anything they sense is "too progressive." Take, for example, Elizabeth Warren's just-introduced Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act.

Trump Lied About His Intentions Toward Russia
Donald Trump just wants for Europeans to increase military spending (to buy U.S.-made weapons) even more than the U.S. is doing against Russia, and for the Sauds and Israelis also to buy more of these weapons from America’s weapons-firms, to use against Iran and any nation friendly toward it. Meanwhile, America’s own military spending is already at world-record-high levels.

Boris och burkan
Han har samma hårfärg som Trump. Och deras frisyrer påminner något om varandra. Det kan vara en anledning till att vänstern blir extra tokig när den konservative parlamentsledamoten Boris Johnson skojar om något som är heligt för muslimska fundamentalister.
Vi vet ju att det som är heligt för muslimska fundamentalister också är heligt för vänstern. Skillnaden är dock att islamiska fundamentalister kallar brottet ”hädelse” och utdömer dödsstraff medan vänstern kallar brottet ”islamofobi” och straffar brottslingen genom att mobba, näthata och karaktärsmörda. -

How a Free Market Inevitably Produces Dictatorship
