The Huffington Post cut down its commentary and healthcare teams Thursday.

“As of this morning, HuffPost's opinion section is no more. I and the rest of the team have been let go,” the former head of the opinion section at Huffington Post, Bryan Maygers, tweeted.

“I spent the last few years reporting on two of the most pressing issues in public health — gun violence and the opioid crisis — and today @HuffPost eliminated its health team,” former senior public health reporter at Huffington Post, Erin Schumaker, posted to Twitter Thursday, adding that she was in the market for a new job.

...

In shuttering its opinion and healthcare sections, a Huffington Post spokesperson said the media outlet is looking to invest in areas that have higher audience engagement.

This explains why I can’t get rid of Yahoo News on my Galaxy5. It just keeps popping up again and again no matter how many times I delete it....it comes as “mail.”

My Galaxy 5 is a mess...has viruses from hell.......anyone know what to do about them?
We tried installing Norton Antivirus, but don’t have enough room because...I think...it’s so full of junk I don’t want.

All thoughts appreciated.

"The libs’ wet dream is indeed to “build babies from scratch” (in a Petri dish), without the bothersome processes of sex, conception, and gestation.”

Considering the state of dating on campuses nowadays, men who who want children may want to forego that messy "marriage with a walking lawsuit" to have the next generation, as well.

Like the section on native Ethiopian cuisine.

Hey, don't be knockin' on Ethiopian cuisine. It's quite tasty.

There is no such thing as “Ethiopian cuisine.” Ethiopian COOKING perhaps, but nothing that could realistically be called “cuisine.”

What do you call an Ethiopian with a dog?
A vegetarian.
What do you call an Ethiopian with two dogs?
A rancher.

And this season on Ethiopian Idol ...

Don’t miss the finale of Ethiopian Idol, as the last contestant standing, after months of brutal begging for food resulted in death by starvation of one candidate a week, receives a comb.

They got rid of their opinion page because it was redundantly duplicating the news pages which published progressive leftist opinion masquerading as news in every article. Why have a labeled page exposing the fact that your progressive propaganda opinions are really identical to the articles you claim are objective news stories. People might notice the Marxist behind the curtain. It’s better to just eliminate the labeled section.

Their “Health” section’s number one concern was “gun violence”. I have nothing to add.

Well, there are some dishes that are similar to, say, Chile Colorado.
