This Thanksgiving, let us be grateful to those who grow the food and to the animals and the plants we consume. Please take a moment to support farmers and healthy food policy (petition linked below) 

On this Eve of Thanksgiving, as families gather in warm kitchens, stirring bubbling pots over hot stoves and setting tables in preparation for tomorrow’s feast, please do, truly give thanks to the farms, the farmers and to the animals and plants farmed which brought abundance to us this year.

Sharing food is a sacred act, and its eating is a gift from the Earth and from the communities who grew it. Food is a gift of life from one species to another, from the Earth herself, from the soil and land. Every act of food growing and consuming is part of a larger sacred web of nourishment and meaning with the aim and potential to sustain bodies, communities, and future generations.

Across the political spectrum – with alarm on the right and delight on the left – the display of warmth from President Trump toward Zohran Mamdani on Friday set off shock waves. Trump’s lavish praise of New York’s mayor-elect in the Oval Office was a 180-degree turn from his condemnation of the democratic socialist as “a pure true communist” and “a total nut job.” The stunning about-face made for a great political drama.

In addition to approving $500,000 for a women’s volleyball team (owned by a rich millionaire) and also raising the rates for water your Columbus City Council was also the scene of an emotional apology by Councilmember Emanuel Remy.

Fantastic. He admitted what everyone already knew. He is a loud and aggressive bully, but has been taking a management class (paid for by your taxes) that will likely not change his core problem that he has no empathy for other people.

This is the man hand-picked by City Council President Shannon Hardin to represent his constituents’ needs and solve their problems. All of this goes back to Hardin pushing aside a Black woman and community advocate just to get Remy into City Council. He’s there and there’s nothing that Hardin is going to do about it other than ignore him.

Robot in a warehouse

Flying robots built for war (Anduril) aren’t the only robots coming to Rickenbacker International Airport – one of the world’s busiest logistic hubs.

These robots, however, won’t obliterate you on the spot. But they and their corporate masters could vaporize thousands of decent-paying warehouse jobs from Central Ohio – and do so without a second thought for the human beings who’ve toiled in these warehouses for years.

“Robots are taking over, and that’s a good thing for warehouse professionals!” claims this robotics manufacturer

Conspiracy Realist: someone who fails to cower in fear when described as a conspiracy “theorist”.

This author believes there is not one person in America who believes all the lies told to them over the past 62 years. Regardless of political persuasion (left, right, independent, religious, atheist, ) America has been lied to consistently and thoroughly during my lifetime. It is easy to point to the government, but the lies specifically originate at the Central Intelligence Agency, since they are behind most of the nefarious activity of the American Empire.  We are all Conspiracy Realists.  It is becoming clear that there is another factor behind the deception. Let me explain.

I stand with Sen. Mark Kelly against President Trump and his War Minister, Pete Hegseth. No one is buying Pete Hegseth and Trump's lies about Sen. Mark Kelly (D - AZ). We know what Sen. Kelly said. He reminded service members they are obligated to not to follow "illegal orders."

First of all, Kelly didn't tell anybody to violate lawful orders. He was educating many, especially those in the military. Evidently, Trump and the Pentagon need to be educated that Article 92 of the UCMJ informs military personnel only about the "failure to obey lawful orders or regulations."

While regulators catch them venting gas for 60 hours straight, the company pushes "chemical recycling" pilot with East Palestine chemical.

HEBRON, OH — In case you missed it, the Buckeye Environmental Network is exposing a critical public health failure in Licking County. Freepoint Eco-Systems has been slapped with its third air permit violation in a single year by the Ohio EPA.

While this company quietly admitted to illegally venting volatile chemicals 79 times, they are simultaneously seeking to expand their facility to "recycle" PVC—a process involving the same toxic chemical behind the East Palestine disaster.

THE FACTS MEDIA OUTLETS ARE MISSING:

1. A 60-Hour Chemical Release This wasn't a minor leak. Between February and June 2025, Freepoint bypassed their mandatory vapor combustors 79 separate times.

  • One single event lasted 59 hours—nearly two and a half days of continuous, unpermitted venting to an open flare.
