The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Am I crazy or does it actually say that 65 voted AGAINST releasing those names, and the vast majority voted FOR releasing them? I clicked the link, and it looks like it says the opposite of what you're saying.

Single Daily Tablet Shows Powerful Results for People With Drug-Resistant HIV A large international clinical trial has unveiled a promising new option for people living with highly treatment-resistant HIV.

A development such as this has been a goal for HIV researchers for decades. It is important because people who are faced with difficult treatment regimens are less likely to be compliant.

WATCH β€” @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Sen Mark Warner stunning words after briefing from Trump regime: "Let's bc clear. There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

Resilience, ridicule guarantee hate group’s flop at D.C. anti-abortion march When 120 white nationalist Patriot Front members descended on Washington, D.C., they were met by counterdemonstrators and clown music.

NEW, from me: I talked to people who shut down Patriot Front's rally in D.C. last month.

Counter-demonstrators made it impossible for PF to produce propaganda and recruit at the March for Life rally. The clown music set the tone.

I think cops are more than slave catchers for sure...they're also violent stormtroopers who don't care if they catch anyone as long as they get to brutalize and demoralize the "other" for the capitalist machine.

Anything else you wanna actually talk about or you just in the mood to lecture me...?
