Khashoggi's sons demand his body so they can bury it.

The inability to produce the body will embarrass Salafi Arabia even more, especially with Muslims.

By international standards, US elections don't qualify as free and fair.

The American Association of Pediatricians says that spanking children, and punishment in general, tends to make them more aggressive and to cause other mental problems.

US citizens: call on the US press to boycott the bully's "press conferences".

I don't agree 100% with this petition. It urges the press to boycott the worthless "press conferences" until the bully permits Acosta to attend them.

If you sign, please spread the word!
