Analysis: Intel Ops Against Trump-- Still Going Strong

The following is a news analysis

There was a great deal of news this past week about President Trump’s audacious disregard for the advice and warnings from his own intelligence community experts. 

Perhaps there’s good reason for alarm. 

But I think there’s one shocking aspect— perhaps a larger story— that’s gone virtually unreported. It appears that anonymous intelligence officials are executing an operation against the sitting commander in chief. It might not qualify as all-out mutiny, but it’s also not all that far from one...

Vaccines and Autism: Why the Debate Still Rages

The following is a news analysis

This post updates a popular article I published at CBSNews.com in 2007: "Vaccines and autism: Why the debate rages."

This post begins narrowly and will be updated in the coming weeks as information is added on topics including: court cases, propaganda, and scientific claims on both sides.

Fallout from misreporting over Covington Catholic boys

The lawyers representing Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann and his family said Friday they have sent letters to media outlets, individual journalists, celebrities and Catholic organizations as the first step in possible libel and defamation lawsuits.

The French Connection

This isn’t a history lesson. It’s the story of an unbreakable bond between France and the United States....told through letters written by heroes. 

Letter Excerpt: January 7, 1918. Dear Mary, we arrived, as you know safely in France, and the night of my arrival we spent unloading our stores. 

The 100 year old stories extend from a French cemetery an hour outside of Paris where U.S. soldiers are buried to Boston, Massachusetts 3000 miles away.

The Incredible Health Care Cost Solution Right Under Our Noses

Incredible! Could the answer to our health care cost problem be that simple? Can it work for all of us?

The cost of medical and drug benefits is expected to rise 5% in 2019. The 6th year in a row with a 5% increase. Premiums and out-of-pocket costs for employees and dependents will average $14,800. Congress has struggled for years to fight the escalating costs— with little success. But what if the answer lies in a place they haven’t bothered to look? What if it’s right there out in the open in Big Sky country? Today’s cover story takes us to Montana where their solution came from a senior citizen with a knack for numbers. Those who took her on quickly learned they’d grabbed a tiger by the tail.

Attkisson 4th Amendment Litigation Fund: Almost one-quarter to the goal

It is with much gratitude that I announce the Attkisson Fourth Amendment Litigation Fund, started by civil rights, free press and privacy advocates, is closing in on one-quarter of its goal as it approaches a three-month mark.

Proceeds are being used to defray extraordinary expenses as I fight government overreach in Attkisson v. DOJ and FBI for the government intrusions into my work and home computers.
