Graham-Cassidy Healthcare Bill: A Death Sentence for Thousands Annually by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Trump loves it, calling it “a great bill.” If enacted, millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions will be forced to pay exorbitantly higher premiums for coverage. Pregnant women will have to pay over $17,000 more. Anyone ill […]

Bernie Sanders on Israel and Iran by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) He’s a longstanding con man. His deplorable voting record belies his lofty rhetoric, consistently supporting undemocratic Dem party politics. His support for war goddess/racketeer Hillary after she virtually stole her nomination alone exposed his duplicity – saying one thing, doing […]

Syrian Foreign Minister’s Impassioned UN Address by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Syria and its people are victims of US aggression – ISIS and likeminded terrorists used as imperial foot soldiers, along with Pentagon-led terror-bombing since September 2014, massacring tens of thousands of civilians, destroying vital infrastructure on the phony pretext of […]

Trump at War With Dissent by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Trump continues finding ways to disgrace himself, the latest episode Friday evening, criticizing legitimate dissent.  It’s the highest form of patriotism, the comment attributed to Thomas Jefferson, whether or not he actually said it.

Iran’s New Ballistic Missile by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Iran’s ballistic missile program is entirely legitimate, solely for defense, designed to carry conventional warheads, not nuclear ones as US and Israeli hawks falsely claim, vilifying the country disgracefully.

Geoffrey M. Young: Progressive Democrat for Congress by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Geoff is a political anomaly, a true progressive, the real McCoy, saying what he means forthrightly and meaning what he says, no doubletalk so commonplace in Washington.

US to Plunder Afghanistan’s Mineral Riches by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Endless US aggression in Afghanistan has nothing to do with combating terrorism (America supports it), everything to do with controlling the country, using it for oil and gas pipelines, part of encircling Russia and China with US military bases, and […]
