Fight the Culture of Hate! Vincent Navarro, formerly Jesse Jackson’s senior health advisor in the ’84 and ’88 Primaries, tells it like it is over at Counterpunch: HillaryCare Failed. That’s right, folks, the experienced cynical candidate might not have an advantage over the young, hopeful candidate. The experienced candidate might have been involved in a [...]

Antonin Scalia:Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Concentration Camps
