Why GOP Senate bill is ‘a long way’ from repealing Obamacare Posted: 13 Jul 2017 01:56 PM PDT For more than seven years, Republicans have been promising voters they would repeal the Affordable Care Act. The bill that GOP senators unveiled on Thursday is very far from that promise. Yes, some Obamacare measures are out, like the individual and employer mandates.

Using a taro patch in Hawaii, this couple teaches the islands’ values to youths Posted: 13 Jul 2017 12:45 PM PDT Dean and Michele Wilhelm dreamed of creating a space that was restorative and healing for others, perhaps a relaxing retreat for couples or families. At the same time, the family began cultivating community through gatherings around traditional Hawaiian food. It became clear that taro farming was just the way for the couple to realize their dream.

The Trump-Macron partnership Posted: 13 Jul 2017 12:19 PM PDT Just six months in office, President Trump has made no less than three trips to Europe, a place he calls a "blessing to the world" – that is, if it remains "strong." During his travels he found a kindred spirit in another new and mold-breaking president, France's Emmanuel Macron, who warned this month that Europe has "lost its way" and needs new leaders to revive it. In a little-noticed speech in Poland on July 6, Mr. Trump seemed to defy the nationalist rhetoric of his 2016 campaign and his tweets by offering a full-throated affirmation of the Western tradition. In particular, Trump finally affirmed his support of NATO's Article 5, which requires mutual defense of nations in that alliance, and demanded that Russia stop its destabilizing actions in Ukraine.

The scandal engulfing Mr. Trump's administration, over its alleged election collusion with Russia, has grown so intense that leading Russian foreign-policy specialists say they fear the very principle of US-Russia rapprochement is in danger of being thrown out with the Trump bathwater. Three key deals that seemed to be struck at the meeting – to work out joint rules for security in cyberspace, a ceasefire in southern Syria, and a new US push to support the Minsk accords in Ukraine – are already floundering.
