Undoubtedly you heard that several days in early July were the “hottest days ever” for good old Planet Earth. The source of that story was an entity called Climate Reanalyzer, affiliated with the University of Maine.
To the Editor:
The term “mental health” is a subject that is not talked about enough in our tribal communities. In my family, I remember the men and boys were always told to be strong and not to cry. This is a mindset I learned to live with until I couldn’t any longer.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve endured traumatic events and grief that I needed to process, but I didn’t know how. When I lost my mother in January 2022, I was lost and broken. I didn’t know how to pick up the pieces of the life I knew until I was told, “It’s OK to ask for help, Zach.”
Oklahoma needs to move quickly if it wants to reap the benefits of being an early mover on tax reform
Oklahoma has long been a relatively low-tax state, but the recent reluctance to continue the reduction in the state’s income tax may result in other states passing us by.
The case, many say, is long closed.
It’s been 70 years since the executions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg on charges of spying for the Soviet Union. It’s been 28 years since the public release of decrypted Soviet cables revealing that Julius Rosenberg was indeed guilty, and at least strongly implying that Ethel Rosenberg knowingly participated in his espionage work -- not just typing documents to hand over to his handlers, but even actively recruiting her own brother into the operation.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has declared war on a “loneliness epidemic.” Murthy noted “about one-in-two adults in America reported experiencing loneliness. And that was before the COVID-19 pandemic cut off so many of us from friends, loved ones and support systems.”
According to the CDC, 25.5 percent of adults ages 18-24 reported having seriously considered suicide in the past month.
“The Industrial Revolution and its consequences,” reads the opening lines of “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski’s notorious manifesto, “have been a disaster for the human race.”
Kaczynski, who recently died in prison, blamed that period of history not just for “severe damage to the natural world,” but for destabilizing society, making life unfulfilling and inflicting indignity and psychological suffering on humankind. Perhaps not entirely in fairness, I fancy I detect a similar tone in Peter Bach’s recent “Letter from London” in CounterPunch.
What differentiates David Charles Grusch -- who claims that the U.S. government has in its possession “intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin” -- from previous people making similar claims?
The big and obvious difference is that his back story seems to check out.
For purposes of comparison: Bob Lazar, a celebrity in “The Truth is Out There” community, claims degrees in physics from MIT and electronics from CalTech.
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned the unconstitutional right to an abortion, a devastating error from the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1972.
On this historic day one year ago, the Court restored the unalienable right to life prescribed by our forefathers and rightfully returned the power to protect the unborn back to the states where it should have been all along.
While this ruling was an incredible step in protecting the unborn, the fight for life is far from over.
This Memorial Day, millions of American families will take time to honor the memory of the men and women who lost their lives fighting in one of the nation’s wars. It can be a challenging day for veterans and their families.
It can be particularly challenging for veterans who made it home but are now battling a substance use disorder or mental illness. Too many veterans struggle with drug addiction.
Anheuser-Busch InBev is the world’s largest beer company with over 400 global brands. Among these brands is one of America’s leading light beers, Bud Light, known for its sophomoric, fun and outlandish advertising characters like Spuds McKenzie and the Dilly-Dilly Knights.
Recently, the beer’s executives decided that the best way to communicate the attributes of the product to their target audience of mostly young, blue-collar males was to promote a sponsorship with transgender influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney.
