No, Fox’s Katie Pavlich, the US wasn’t the First to Abolish Slavery
Fox Cable News’ Katie Pavlich asserted Tuesday, “They keep blaming America for slavery, but the truth is that throughout human history slavery has existed.

New Zealand: Is Trumpism now replacing ISIL as a major Cause of Stochastic Terrorism?
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – One of the tactics of the so-called “Islamic State group” or ISIL had been to put out calls on the internet and social media for people to engage in random acts of violence. In some instances, these fevered and vague expression of violent grievance infested the nightmares of unstable young […]
