America is already littered with maternity care deserts — places without a hospital that contains a labor department and practicing OB/GYNs — and these deserts are expanding. According to a new report from the March of Dimes, the number of counties in the United States that meet their definition of a care desert had grown in 2022 compared to 2018, the last time the group surveyed the mate... read more

US Foreign Policy Impasse Over VenezuelaThe seamless official policy of the Trump and Biden administrations has been that Juan Guaidó is Venezuela’s “interim president.” The US is thusly caught in the self-inflicted fiction of having to deal with a powerless puppet because it does not accept the democratically elected Nicolás Maduro.

A related conundrum of its own making is the US sanctions on Venezuela’s oil industry and at the same time needing the fuel. It wasn’t so long ago that Vene... read more

"A wide swath of past and ongoing scandals, corruption, crime, treason and bioterrorism"That's what consulting firm Edify claims to have uncovered in a recent report. (A tip o' the hat to the anonymous contributor who brought it to my attention.). I have no way to verify all of the claims made in that report, and the conclusions derived from them, but much of it is in agreement with other public information sources.

In a recent article on its website, the WEF looks at how technology can be used to control carbon emissions. Here is the article ... read more
