*VOA/Reuters*: *MI5 Spy Chief: Russia, China, Iran Top Threat List to UK* London — Britain faces major security threats from the trio of Russia, China and Iran, which all use coercion, intimidation and violence to pursue their interests, the U.K.'s domestic intelligence spy chief said Wednesday.

Book Review: ‘No More American Thanksgivings’ And Other Essays
Of the traditional US holidays, Thanksgiving was by far my favorite. I can do without the excessive commercialization of Xmas with its cheesy music that broadcasts for weeks on end. Cancel the forced festiveness of New Years and the sloppy drunks it generates; ditto for the militarism of July 4th. So, what’s not good about coming together with friends and family and sharing a home cooked feast? I don’t want to ruin the party, but before you carve up the turkey, read the opening essay in Glen Ford’s The Black Agenda. His critique of the holiday is that the mythology surrounding Th... read more

Trump has been repeating that outlandish lie endlessly for the past two years, includin... read more
