[ad_1] Fatemeh Keshavarz Informed Comment  On April 24, Secretary Hegseth said the war on Iran was “a gift to the world”. If you are a member of the general public, you do not know enough details to ask “Which part? Killing the schoolgirls? Hitting Iranian universities? The price of oil, or the US make-belief negotiations to lull Iranians before attacking them?” If you knew some of this information, you’d would know they do not qualify as gifts. Clearly, he is hinting at something good, like a protective measure. Could he be referring to shielding the world from Iran’s nuclear danger?…

[ad_1] Photograph Source: שי קנדלר – CC BY-SA 4.0 It has been a sorry though predictable exercise.  When he lived up (or down) to expectations of atrocious conduct befitting the proud bigot that he is, Israel’s Minister for National Security had to be seen as aberrant, the man who strayed, if only slightly.  The conduct in question involved Itamar Ben-Gvir’s posting of footage on social media mocking the fate of activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla who had made a failed humanitarian effort to break the blockade of Gaza.  The activists, seized in international waters by Israeli forces off the coast of Cyprus, had been…

[ad_1] There is one Ayn Rand-themed establishment in Turkey. It isn’t in Istanbul, the financial heart of the country, but Ankara, its political capital, home to Turkish bureaucrats and defense companies. The logo of Catalyst Coffee & Hub is a black-and-white picture of Rand holding a steaming cup of coffee. It is perched on top of Çankaya Hill, surrounded by embassies and official buildings. Its garden has a wonderful view of Atakule, the iconic tower overlooking the city. When the cafe launched, a tax inspector came for a start-of-business check. When he saw copies of Rand’s work on the bookshelves,…

[ad_1] The Party cannot defend workers, voting rights, and Confederate traitors at the same damn time. Desi Cortez LA Progressive Democrat?” Hell no. That’s an endangered species of public nuisance: the Lesser Spotted Spine-Free Liberal, migrating toward donors and nesting in bad decisions. Democrat In Name Only, i.e., DINO The Left remains sadly trifling, fractured, childishly debating whether to rescue the last polka-dot-plaid unicorn while the Make America White/Great Again cult marches with Confederate-fueled clarity down Broadway. MAGA’s grand theory is third-grade simple: they hate us. Not dislike. Not policy disagreement. Hate. They hate the “wrong” race, class, gender, faith, culture, and the outrageously unattainable utopian demand…

[ad_1] A grim medical reality is unfolding across Middle America, predominantly Iowa’s farmland. In the land of pesticides and industrial agriculture, where policies have made farming dependent on cancer causing chemicals, cancer rates are rising faster than any other place in the nation. While federal regulators and agricultural conglomerates continue to insist that chemical-intensive farming practices pose no threat to human health, a growing coalition of oncologists, cancer survivors and investigative journalists is challenging that official narrative with data that is becoming impossible to ignore. The convergence of multiple environmental carcinogens is turning Iowa into a public health warning for…
