It’s an event worthy of coverage from any news station or agency, but  no one is reporting on what happened at a California Inspection Station in Long Valley, California a few miles from the Nevada state line. The California Department of Food and Agriculture operates 16 such agriculture inspection stations that are located along the…

While researching another story that involved Del Norte County Sheriff Harold Scott, indicted by a grand jury in 1957 for operating a brothel, I ran across a name I knew all to well — my fathers. Admittedly, my heart skipped a beat to think he’d be involved in prostitution, but I pressed on to uncover…

Participants will be covered through the end of 2015, but will have to choose another insurance provider when open enrollment begins in November. Co-ops around the country are struggling.

The Center for Medical Progress released its seventh Planned Parenthood video. The acts described in it are hard for anyone to defend and politicians or lobbyists who say they don’t happen are lying. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she’s proud to stand with Planned Parenthood and will “never stop fighting to protect the ability and…

A recent article at the WaPo says Black Americans are actually “refugees.” “To make an asylum case for black persecution, I wouldn’t have to reach back to 400 years of slavery, lynching, segregation and Jim Crow. I would focus, instead, on the current prolific system of racist policing, mass incarceration and selective prosecution,” writes immigration…

The U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is going to let Iran self-inspect several of its most sensitive nuclear installations, and the Obama White House says its fine with that.
