  • National Walkout

    Tomorrow is supposed to be this (school shootings) “national walkout”, but what gets me most is, just weeks ago these children (American school-age kids) were eating Tide Pods… for daring fun. Yeah, I don’t think they know what they want, or what’s safe, or what’s sane. Pushing an agenda that’s all this is. Push, push,…

  • Do live lobsters feel pain when you boil them? – The Washington Post

    Personally, I prefer all my food “dead” before I cook/eat it, after all, I’m not Klingon. Lobsters may be one of the most popular crustaceans in the culinary arts. But when it comes to killing them, there’s a long and unresolved debate about how to do it humanely, and whether that extra consideration is even…

  • Netflix pulls Maya the Bee episode for drawing AND navy pilots get whacked for drawing too

    This program was pulled (in Europe) this past September, but here in good ol’ USA, it was only a few weeks ago. The episode; King Willy*** (the whole series, not just the one episode, was actually “jerked off” the network here) Maya the Bee is an animated children’s show about a talking bee named Maya…

  • To solve problems caused by sitting, learn to squat

    Our failure to squat has biomechanical and physiological implications, but it also points to something bigger. In a world where we spend so much time in our heads, in the cloud, on our phones, the absence of squatting leaves us bereft of the grounding force that the posture has provided since our hominid ancestors first…

  • Cryptocurrency as the lure, an ISO as the attachment – why not open it? – Naked Security

    My  money sits in a bank, and is (for what it’s worth) federally insured. Bitcoin (and others) sits where, and is insured by what? *** https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2018/01/12/cryptocurrency-as-the-lure-an-iso-as-the-attachment-why-not-open-it/

  • People  see what they want to see… 

    … when they want to see it. ******* (credit: studio 100 animation)  Parents cried foul after an episode of the cutesy cartoon showed a sneaky penis loitering in the background woodwork, resulting in Netflix pulling the episode titled ‘King Willi’.

  • Whole Foods owner profits from sales of Antifa terrorism symbols and left-wing “murder books” on Amazon.com

    Good Golly, far be it for me to say, but… if we are to STOP doing business with every company that has ties to terrorism, the mob, drugs, politics, a certain religion, racism, lgbt, gmo, or whatever, then we would do business with no-one. Not even ones own mother would be safe to do business…

  • Letting It ‘Mellow if It’s Yellow’ Is Way Better for the Environment

    “If it’s yellow, let it mellow!” Or as they say in the Caribbean, “In the land of sun and fun, we do not flush for number 1.” It’s a maxim held dear by the selective flusher, and despite what cleaning product commercials might have you believe, the practice isn’t necessarily uncouth. But is it as…

  • Keeping Hackers Out of Your Social Media Accounts… 

    Hackers rarely invent new tricks. Rather, they just find new ways to use old ones. When Tom Van de Wiele — F-Secure Principal Security Consultant — was growing up, taking over IRC accounts and channels was the thing. “Now people amuse themselves with social media accounts and bribing,” he told me. If you have a…

  • Father Of 8 Sentenced To Jail For Distributing Jury Nullification Pamphlets

    A former pastor from Michigan discovered the hard way that informing people of their rights under the law as jurors doesn’t sit well with the U.S. government when a judge sentenced him Friday to eight weekends in jail, six months of probation, and fines — all for passing out pamphlets discussing jury nullification. Keith Wood…

  • Natural News: spreading doom (again) 

    Natural News has its place when I comes to (natural) health, it really shouldn’t dabble in doom and gloom, not of this nature. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-* (Natural News) According to David Wright, physicist and co-director of the UCS Global Security Program, North Korea’s latest ICBM — tested just days ago — has the capability to strike almost…

  • “If you can keep it…” | Sovereign Man

  • The Real Reason Wheat is Toxic (it’s not the gluten)

    Chemicals have their place, but some should not be covering my food! *** The stories became far too frequent to ignore.

  • Race For the Cure (comic)

    The ‘race for the cure’ is one of the greatest sociomedical cons ever pulled off by the pharmaceutical industry. Here’s how it works: First, the drug companies take over the cancer non-profits by donating huge sums of money and getting their own executives on the boards of these organizations. From there, all decisions by the…

  • War, what’s it good for? 

    ​Wars and rumors of wars; so it’s been written, so man will make it happen. Warring, is one thing the US of A is good at, and “at war” is where it’s been for most of the time it’s been a country. ***Don’t worry about it going nuclear, fat chance in hell for that.

  • Happy Happy April 01

    So today my wife sees a story posted on fakebook about how the Lion King is being remade. *First off, oh wonderful, another remake, as if there’s nothing new under the sun… but I digress. Now this “remake” as the story goes will cast Simba as a gay character. Of course, Nala would have to…

  • Daylight Savings: 7 Ways Time Change Can Impact Your Health | Time.com

    We lost an hour of sleep Sunday morning when we set our clocks ahead to “spring forward.” And while we’ll gain an extra hour of daylight in the evenings, we’ll lose it in the morning—waking up, and maybe even heading off to work or school, before the sun comes up. An hour may not seem…

    My question is; would they have danced the night away at the Lincoln Memorial? Sadly, that would be breaking the law.  President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump ended a whistle-stop tour of inaugural balls on Friday at a gala for the armed forces.   After appearing at the Liberty and Freedom Balls at the…

  • Protests of National Anthem Restore My Faith in Humanity | War Is A Crime .org

    Speaking out against racism is one thing — and a wonderful and admirable thing it is — but choosing to do so by sitting out the U.S. national anthem, and then having others join in, or “come out” as routine national anthem sitters: this is fantastic! A self-governing republic of thinking people (whose first thought…
