What Is Nationalism and What Does it Mean for Liberty?
FromPresident Donald Trump to the rise of new nationalistpolitical parties in Europe to a generalresurgence of the term inrecent years, nationalism seems to be on the march. Nationalism is a political movement that has made major inroads in recent years while preaching a message of immigration restrictionism, trade protectionism, and a stronger government devoted to defending citizens from (mostly) imaginary harms. But besides some policy positions and a style of g overnance, there is not a good working definition of nationalism widely used in popular discourse and there is almost no attempt todistinguish it from patr...

Jerusalem Embassy Move Sparks Turkey-Israel War of Words
President Trump ' s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel ' s capital has exacerbated tensions between Turkey and Israel.

Matthew Holt ’ s EOY 2017 letter (charities/issues/gossip)
Right at the end of every year I write a letter summarizing my issues and charities. And as I own the joint here, I post it on THCB! Please take a look–Matthew Holt
Well 2017 has been quite a year, and last year 2016 I failed to get my end-of-year letter out at all. This I would like to think was due to extreme business but it probably came down to me being totally lazy. On the other hand like many of you I may have just been depressed about the election–2016 was summed up by our cat vomiting on our bed at 11.55 on New Years Eve.
Having said that even though most of you will never comment on this letter and I ...

Christmas with Nana: The Joys of Giving and Giving Back
We called our grandmother on my mother’s side “Nana.” Nana was a widow for most of my life. Back in 1965, my grandfather died when I was about two-years-old. Nana supported herself after that, and although she worked a full-time job, she was poor. She lived in a one-bedroom apartment overlooking Lake Erie. She enjoyed the simple pleasures: watching the boats float on the water, entertaining her family on the weekends, swimming alone at midnight in the apartment’s tiny swimming pool.
How did we know Nana was poor?
She didn’t have enough money to do her laundry at the laundromat, so she did it in her bathtub. After...

Ethnic Cleansing vs. Genocide: The Politics Behind Labeling the Rohingya Crisis
On November 22, aftersome reluctance, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson joined theUnited Nations andUnited Kingdom in calling the current Rohingya crisis an “ethnic cleansing. ” Holding Myanmar’s military, security forces, and local vigilantes responsible for the crisis, Tillerson stated that the United Statescould pursueaccountability via targeted sanctions. While some hailed Tillerson ’s label of ethnic cleansingas a start, it ’s worth taking a closer look at the politics behind it. First, ethnic cleansing does not elicit a legal response, whereas the labels of “crimes against humanity” or “genocide” do...

Although I don't delude myself and say I'm normal as long as I take meds, I know the disease will progress, just hopefully more slowly. About his hunger, let me just say that many of us diabetics live in a "prison of hunger". It doesn't matter what he eats, his insulin by definition does not get used by his body effectively. So there he is, his blood awash in unusable insulin and sugar that will not go into the cells, so he might as well be eating cardboard. That is why he is so hungry. The thing is, and I'm sure you know this and he...

Healthcare freebies that can make you, and your wallet, feel a little better
“Take the cookies, bring them home to the kids!” Craig always insists, as he pops a few into my lunch bag. It’s a heartwarming gesture that I love about his Sarasota deli — in addition to the killer turkey on whole wheat. You may not be surprised when local businesses throw in a freebie; they often go the extra mile to thank customers.
But you may be surprised to know that there are lots of free things out there that can help your health. Okay, not cookies, but things with real value when it comes to improving everything from chronic disease to diet and fitness.
Free prescription drugs

Best of Our Blogs: November 24, 2017
Yesterday’s Thanksgiving turkey is today’s lunch. But for many of us we didn’t have our pumpkin pie and eat it too.
Perhaps, there were too much words spoken or not enough.
Maybe Thanksgiving was full of painful reminders of past holidays or people we loved who are not celebrating with us this year.
As we reflect upon yesterday’s events, you may have feelings of regret, remorse or resentment for the things you said or didn’t say, the things you did that you shouldn’t have.
I’ve found that turning here helps. Feeling like we’re not the only one helps. Self-compassion and kindn...

OCD and Seasonal Affective Disorder
This article on SAD describes it as follows:
Seasonal affective disorder is characterized by feelings of sadness and depression that occur in the fall or winter months when the temperatures begin to drop and the days grow shorter.
