Swine Flu: Mixed Messages and Public Anxiety This summer, Obama Administration officials said not to worry: there would be plenty of Swine Flu vaccine.

Later, terror attacks in Iran and conflicting claims about who’s behind them.

Terrorism and tweets, hate speech and murder Just days before an election, Britain is coping with a rash of deadly terrorism, and Prime Minister Theresa May is on the defensive. And again today, President Trump has tweeted criticism of the Mayor of London. Later, a double murder in Portland, Oregon has revealed the ugly past of a supposedly “progressive” city. One immediate question: is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment?
