The Children of Flint Were Not ‘Poisoned’

Stop using this word. It’s inaccurate and all it does is terrify the people who live here.

Hernan Gomez and Kim Dietrich have bad attitudes.
Flint is almost a ghost town.
It is economically much smaller than its population.
People who moved there in hope are depressed and disappointed.  The bright future they saw from the places they left is a mirage.
The governments of Michigan and Flint are trying to shrink the town to fit the remaining business.
The "affordable house" is beyond their means.
The children are treated as a needless burden by the city government.
Then, in a cost saving move, the city water supply was changed.  The taste of the water changed. Tests revealed that the level of lead in the water was high and rising.
City and State government tried to denigrate the residents
alarm.

        The children of Flint were poisoned.

An Iranian Caricaturist Got a Visa Despite the Travel Ban. Now She’s Drawing Trump.

Nasrin Sheykhi had never been to the United States until after the Trump administration imposed its ban on travel from several predominantly Muslim countries.

"Her lawyer, Mr. Best, said he had argued that her recognition beyond Iran “and the potential political value of her resisting the theocratic interests of the government in Iran” were in the United States’ national interest.
“To my complete surprise, we got the visa,” he said. He said it was exempt from the travel ban. Ms. Sheykhi can come and go as she pleases."

The visa authorities are not blind.

Portugal Dared to Cast Aside Austerity. It’s Having a Major Revival.

At a time of mounting uncertainty in Europe, the country has defied critics who insisted on austerity as the answer to the Continent’s economic and financial crisis.

12h12 hours ago
The days when the big debate was about austerity seem long ago, and even a time of innocence compared with an era when it's all about whether treason is OK if it hurts the liberals. But the austerians were indeed wrong
