• Commentary: Trump used Native Americans as window dressing for his Utah monument announcement

  06-01-2018 23:24
  I would like to clear the air as to why you saw Native Americans standing alongside the Utah congressional delegation as President Trump signed the illegal proclamation gutting Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments.I have heard of many people unfamiliar with Native American tribes asking why Native Americans were there if the tribes were against the proclamation.The short answer is optics. This was a deliberate political ploy to create confusion and promote the falsehood th

It is disheartening to see women discussing pregnancy as if it is a disease and arguing that abortion is the best “treatment” option.What a difference we might make for all women were we instead to recognize that pregnancy is unlike any other bodily function and thus women deserve far better than to have their pregnancy treated as something detrimental that n

Her eyes brimmed with tears.“Mom,” she said. “What if I can’t do this?”Ruby has nocturnal epilepsy — often 30 episodes in one night. This leads to profound exh
