In case of human rights emergency, break glass and give these athletes money

In some professional sports circles, apparently all it takes to make athletes forget their high-minded principles is the waving of a wad of dollars under their noses. Sure, they're quick to take a symbolic knee or wear an armband to raise awareness for a good cause, but lonely are those brave athletes who dare to sacrifice participation in high-dollar tournaments to warn oppr...

Peddlers of fake news can wreak havoc in real world

Normally, the St. Louis-based website The Gateway Pundit can and should be laughed off as right-wing, fake-news nonsense.

Russia is testing Western military resolve over Ukraine's sovereignty

Vladimir Putin wants the world to forget what happened in 2014. That's the year he amassed troops at the Ukraine border to assist Russian-backed separatists fighting the Kyiv central government. They wound up shooting down a Malaysian jumbo jet, killing all 298 aboard. Also in 2014, Russia staged the conditions for Putin's illegal seizure and annexation of Ukraine's Crimean P...

Charging parents of school shooters should become standard practice

Prosecutors in the recent Michigan school shooting by a 15-year-old student that left four dead also have filed manslaughter charges against the shooter's parents, whose gun he used.
