The devestation of the Ecuador earthquake By: Lori Lizarraga Updated: Dec 21, 2017 08:34 AM PST In April of 2016, one year following the earthquake, I went back. I wasn't sure what I would find. Of course, I hoped for improvement. I was shocked at what I saw. “I recently went to Pedernales, it's two hours up the coast,” said Petter Hermansson, a missionary with...

The devestation of the Ecuador earthquake By: Lori Lizarraga Updated: Dec 21, 2017 08:34 AM PST A week after the earthquake, the death toll had risen to more than 600 and was still climbing. “I think we had some 1,500 patients. 1,500 people get attended by the medics,” said Petter Hermansson, a missionary with Covenant Church of Ecuador. I did what I could to help, raising...

Last week, the New York Times reported that the Trump administration had held a series of meetings with elements of the Venezuelan military who are considering an attempt to depose President Nicolas Maduro. These revelations have intensified the debate over whether the United States should intervene militarily in Venezuela. Most analysts covering the country have come out strongly against a U.S.-backed coup, arguing that...

I’ve been asked to explain what I know of the current situation in Venezuela. To do that I need to go back to pre 19th century Venezuela and a little about the people. After all, it is the people that make a country a country. Without its citizens it is simply a habitat. Most of Venezuela was ruled by Spain...

It was recently reported that the Pentagon paid a PR firm $540 million to make – and fake – ‘terror’ videos in Iraq.

Moreover, it’s recently been shown that Project Mockingbird, the...

The media and political class become more and more outraged over the Trump administration’s decision to detain and prosecute immigrants illegally crossing the border.

Current U.S. immigration laws, when enforced, have the consequence of temporarily separating adults who arrive with children into separate detention facilities in...

When it comes to the story of Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the Red Hen restaurant, you can't blame conservatives for being confused. A few weeks ago, the owner of Colorado's Masterpiece Cakeshop was a national villain for refusing to bake a custom cake to celebrate a same-sex marriage. American liberals were outraged when the U.S. Supreme Court—by a 7-2 margin...

A half million U.S. soldiers were inoculated for the war with Iraq. Some of them got sick after their vaccinations. Whether the vaccines were to blame remains an open question because the military may not be reporting all the cases properly. But we have documents that open the door to the greatest health scandel in history. When Army Reservist Rachael Lacy...
