Trump's United Nations Speech: Abridged Edition Trump's speech before the UN displayed his usual bellicosity, counterproductive threats, and ultranationalism. His threat to annihilate another nation, from this podium, was unprecedented for a US president. His reiterated claim of US respect for other nations' sovereignty--a green light for dictatorships--represents a sharp departure from the democratic principles that previous US leaders have at least paid lip service to.

Goodbye, Trump Team Trump has demonstrated that he completely lacks the moral authority to lead the nation. The Republican Party needs to repudiate him, regardless of political expediency or poll numbers. The country needs to come together and expel this danger to American democracy.

Killing People By Remote Control The U.S. drone warfare and surveillance program, begun by Bush, has greatly expanded under Obama, with hardly any notice by the mainstream media or the public. Weaponized drones violate international law, are highly inaccurate, and spread deep hatred of America.

On the Incineration of Fetuses as Waste British hospitals incinerate the fetuses of aborted and miscarried babies as garbage. Some of the babies are burned as "clinical waste" to heat clinics and hospitals. Often mothers are not given a choice, before the abortion, as to how they would like the remains to be disposed of.
