Gillibrand Is Better Off Polling Less Than 1%
Had someone asked me which presidential candidate has a political father who's in a crazy religionist cult, I would have said "Tulsi Gabbard," and I would have been correct... but not complete. Did you know that another candidate-- also who isn't going anywhere in this race-- has a father connected to a insane cult, an insane cult her step-mother is involved with too? Kirsten Gillibrand has mostly managed to avoid any public discussion of NXIVM (pronounced "nexium"). Unlike Tulsi, who was basically raised inside her father's crazy cult, Gillibrand seems to have succeeded in keepin... more »

Can Heckler & Koch VP9 Gun Stand Up to the Mighty Glock 19?

After Losing Istanbul, Erdogan's Grip on Turkey Will Never Be the Same
*Mohammed Ayoob* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Erdogan’s days may not be numbered already but his grip on power will never be the same again.

When a medical doctor bridges the line of physician and law enforcement, which many, if not all, child abuse physicians do, the rights of families are not only often violated, but they are blatantly disregarded. The first violation after the accusation is made is the disregard of the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Once a medical doctor makes the “diagnosis” of child abuse, it is not just a diagnosis; it is actually the accusation of crime. This accusation, stemming from the knowledge, experience and expertise of a child abuse pedestrian has now damned a family into g... more »

Woe, Jeremy Corbyn?
Party like it's March 2017! Everyone's got it in for the Labour leader these days. The same people are making the same whingeing noises we heard in 2015, 2016, and early 2017, coincidentally.
