(2019-11-05). The Trump Doctrine Demands a Democratic Response. truthdig.com 
I've been publishing anti-war material for more than five years now.

Haven't got enough 'Russiagate' already? Need the ideal Christmas gift for the unsatisfied Democrat in your life? Well how about a copy of the Mueller report, soon available in graphic novel form! | Special Counsel Robert Mueller's two-year probe found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the run-up to the 2016 election, and insufficient evidence that Trump obstructed the investigation itself.

by Lucas Koerner Chilean protester beaten by government forces (Twitter, 10/21/19) | Chile's anti-neoliberal rebellion is entering its third week, and the brutal crackdown continues.

This came with Jeremy Corbyn due to visit a hospital and announce major healthcare plans, and just days after Boris Johnson was booed out of a hospital. To even the most ambivalent bystander, it looks a lot like the BBC is coming to the rescue of a troubled prime minister. And the execution has been more troubling than the timing. | The visit from hell: | Despite BBC cameras managing to cover every sniffle against Labour leader Corbyn, they seemed to miss the most significant electoral moment of last we…
