*"Thanksgiving for JFK"* By Edward Curtin "November 22, 2018. "If he had lived, President John F. Kennedy would have been 101 years old this year. At Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, his family would be raising a glass in his honor. But as we all know, he was murdered in Dallas, Texas on this date – November 22nd – in 1963. A true war hero twice over, he risked his life to save his men in World War II, and then, after a radical turn toward peace-making in the last year of his life, he died in his own country at the hands of his domestic enemies as a soldier in a non-violent struggle... more »

DONALD TRUMP: HE'S A SUPERHERO ALPHA MALE, BUT HE DESPERATELY NEEDS YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Rush Limbaugh said this on his show today: The media is outraged again by President Trump — who may be the greatest president of our lifetimes, with one or two exceptions. Interesting that Limbaugh calls Trump "the greatest president of our lifetimes," then hedges and adds, "with one or two exceptions." He doesn't want to slight Saint Reagan or Dubya -- but I wonder at what point Republicans will start saying that they no longer believe Reagan is the greatest president of their lifetimes. They all still pay lip service to Reagan, but I think their favorite is now Trump, and sooner o... more »

Brexit in Crisis

Brexit is in crisis. Arguably, it has been since 52% of the voting public returned a Leave verdict in June 2016. Yet what we have had up until, well, a couple of weeks ago is something of a phony war. Now, the politics has played out so every position - no deal/hard, May's deal, and soft/remain sit poised upon a mountain of gunpowder. At any moment, a spark could fall that blows up one position. Or, perhaps, all three. One welcoming consequence of the chaos is the temporary neutering of the Brexit hard right. That's perhaps being generous, Theresa May has routed them and rubbed the... more »

“It is no longer controversial to say that the United States food system does not support a healthy diet.
