Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

If I could, I would scream it into the world — but instead, I write it with shaking hands: RUSSIA STRUCK KHARKIV with 53 DRONES, 4 BOMBS & a MISSILE. It was the LARGEST & MOST RUTHLESS attack on the city since the war began. Three people were killed, 21 injured. THIS IS TERROR.

How many in US die because they can't afford inflated prices of asthma and diabetes treatments?

This is “healthcare” in the United States. A pharmacy benefit manager randomly decided they just weren’t going to cover this man’s inhaler anymore, so he couldn’t afford it. He died of an asthma attack. Devastating. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
