      For the last month, Americans have viewed their lunchtime salads or even a single, crisp leaf of iceberg on their burger as a possible threat.

      In the face of Iranian ‘demands,’ tighten the squeeze | Las Vegas Review-Journal

        President Donald Trump’s chief negotiating strategy consists of keeping the other party guessing about what he might do next. As this pertains to Iran, the president has repeatedly threatened Tehran with additional military action only to back off once new “peace talks” are on the table.

          Evidence over politics when it comes to childhood vaccines | Baltimore Sun

            Parents deserve clarity when making decisions about childhood vaccines. They should not have to choose between political pronouncements and public health institutions whose credibility has been tested in recent years.

            Republican Senator Says Trump's Vaccine Order Is 'Wrong On So Many Levels'

              Republican Senator Bill Cassidy has strongly criticised U.S. President Donald Trump's order calling for separate childhood vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella.

              Letter: Genocide

                The state of Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank what Germany did to its ancestry. A genocide.

                          Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                          A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
