"It's time for impunity to end with the FDA": PART 1

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - In my 19 continuous years of exposing the FDA and their "pay to play" tactics with the pharmaceutical industry, I have had many articles published calling it as it is -- "the root of the opioid epidemic is at the top" with the FDA.

I will be running a series of these articles from the past naming the offenders in the FDA as well as the pharmaceutical industry.

A National Rite of Passage: Beyond War

Moral injury is not simply PTSD. It’s a violation of an individual’s deepest sense of right and wrong: a wound to the soul.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Patriotism mixed with militarism has the magnetic pull of religion, and service matters even when its ends are, to put it politely, questionable.

This is a flawed argument, to be sure, but I actually have a sliver of sympathy for Exum’s point.

Will Roe v. Wade be Reversed?

Abortion restrictions are the latest in a long history of treating women as second-class citizens.

(SAN FRANCISCO, CA.) - Does the Supreme Court’s refusal to enjoin the latest Texas anti-abortion law (Whole Woman’s Health v. Jackson) foreshadow a reversal of Roe v. Wade or its complete evisceration in the Mississippi case (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization) now pending before the Court?

Fighting COVID-19 and Stupidity

Ivermectin (a horse de-wormer) is dangerous if ingested by humans.

(SAN FRANCISCO, CA.) - Between March and this month, Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham promoted the use of Ivermectin.

Like Hydroxychloroquine, there is no scientific evidence that Ivermectin is effective at preventing or treating COVID-19.

Resources for Veterans Affected by Afghanistan-Iraqi Wars

Veterans from all eras are reacting to the events in Afghanistan. You are not alone.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Veterans may question the meaning of their service or whether it was worth the sacrifices they made. They may feel more moral distress about experiences they had during their service. It’s normal to feel this way.

At this moment, it may seem like all is lost, like your service or your sacrifices were for nothing. Consider the ways that your service made a difference, the impact it had on others’ lives or on your own life.

Is a United World Possible?

A humane reconsideration of how we handle borders and identity.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - What if . . . ?

I get lost — tangled in doubt and cynicism — when I try to pose the question in a more specific way.

What if . . . a collective human voice could be heard, crying out across the borders as the pandemic surges, as the fires rage, as the planet’s life-sustaining climate collapses: “We are one”?
