Maybe the Answer to Police Lynchings Is Non-Racist Cops Police murders of blacks have been going on for decades. If we are to put a stop to these lynchings, urban police departments need to make clear they won't tolerate racist cops. That may sound difficult, but the reality is that it is possible to screen out racist cops.

Even As Covid-based Meat Crisis Leads to Shortages, USDA Focuses on Crushing a Small Meat-Producing Farm Even while America's corporate meat system has imploded with Covid-19 illnesses, the USDA continues to focus on harassing a small Amish-run farm in Pennsylvania. Making matters worse, the agency insists on carrying out its aggressive inspection campaign without proper safety gear, social distancing, masks, and other protocols, the farmer asserts. Are the inspectors just taking their cues from the big boss?

Why Are the Feds Trying to Erase Vitamin Protocols for COVID-19? The federal government has forced the erasure of a popular holistic blog by a family medicine MD, because it published protocols and testimonials about how vitamins may help heal treat COVID-19.

In Defense of Michael Bloomberg's Mindset on Race and Urban Crime Michael Bloomberg is coming under the miscroscope now for past comments he's made about urban crime. But before reflexively categorizing him as a closet racist, people of all persuasions should be aware of the past he comes from, when racial polarization in northern cities was more extreme than liberals often like to remember.

Is There Some Hidden Gain in America's Infatuation with Russia? America's right wing is increasingly enchanted by closer American-Russian relations. It's easy to understand why Putin wants to be on more favorable footing with the U.S. But what does the U.S. stand to gain by being closely allied with Russia? That is the unspoken question, maybe because it doesn't have an easy answer.

One Easy Way to Turn Back the Clock on Gun Massacres There was a time 30-40 years ago when the U.S. had minimal gun restrictions in place, and little concern was expressed that the Second Amendment was in danger. Yet in recent years, we as a country seem intent on loosening any and all restrictions on guns, even for children and the mentally ill, and even as the frequency of gun massacres mount.
