Maine’s Senate hopeful Graham Platner’s candidacy has been embroiled in multiple controversies. One recurring attack that his opponent, Republican incumbent Susan Collins, and her allies have seized on is that Platner got a tattoo in 2007 that resembles a Totenkopf, a “skull and bones” symbol adopted by Nazi troops during World War II. Platner maintains that he was not aware of the inflammatory meaning of the tattoo at the time he got it and later had it covered up. Still, debate raged over whether the tattoo was politically disqualifying, with Democratic Representative Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts refusing to endorse Platner’s…

The new budget line is an effort to help with millions…

Esteemed trainer Robert Garcia is intrigued to see how Canelo Alvarez performs against Christian Mbilli, especially after the “beating” he was dealt by Terence Crawford. While perhaps not quite taking a ‘beating’, Canelo was nonetheless comprehensively outpointed by ‘Bud’, who retired a few months after their super-middleweight encounter last September. With Crawford having become a three-division undisputed king, his exit from the sport left behind a selection of four world titles, including the WBC strap. As a result, Mbilli was elevated from ‘interim’ to full WBC champion which, in turn, saw him land the opportunity to face Canelo in Riyadh,…

Working together as a family and being a support system to a family member who is facing cancer due to asbestos exposure is one of the most meaningful things you can do. It’s not just about helping them physically but being an emotional and spiritual crutch that they can lean on in trying times. As a veteran suffering, they’re likely already proud and used to being the support systems themselves; however, when faced with cancer, the roles need to shift and family members around the veteran need to step up. There are many ways you can offer your support. You can…
