Is Kristi Noem a serial critter killer?
I know that’s a harsh thing to say, but an op-ed (here) by South Dakota Searchlight editor Seth Tupper raises the prospect. He says while everyone’s focused her dog’s fate, “If you really want to understand Kristi Noem, you need to consider the goat.” After Noem made th[...]

Is Palestinian boy’s death a war crime?
Innocent people get killed in wars. Examples are countless. But the West Bank isn’t at war. There, the Israeli army is policing an occupied zone, where violent incidents have increased since the war in Gaza began. On November 29, 2023, several Palestinian boys were playing in the street near t[...]
