Seating a Cherokee Nation Delegate 187 Years Later

I get freebie articles from various publications on the internet. They solicit me for a subscription to their publication. I can not find fault with any of them.

It is good for my body, mind, and the German Shepard. In this publication of The New Republic? The Cherokee Nation has the Congressional...

The Anti-Racism of Fools

Peter Dorman at Econospeak The Anti-Racism of Fools Antisemitism has long been intermingled with movements against injustice and elite control.  This is because the most widespread image in the mind of antisemites is the existence of a secretive cabal of Jews who control global finance and promote liberal-sounding ideas only because it serves their nefarious goals.  Hatred of Jews therefore deflects radical inclinations that might otherwise...
