The U.S. Constitution was wisely set up to require currency based in Gold and Silver, since it meant the Government couldn’t debase the currency by creating a supply of money greater than the supply of the precious metals. It both limited Government spending and made the currency have stronger purchasing power for private citizen’s…[Read more]

Well here in the States, we have the plain un-national, universal tabloid The Star, plus The National Inquirer and The Weekly World News. The latter was probably the source for Trump’s recent UFO/ET files.

Speaking of Irish publications, are they suffering from another famine over there? They’ve got to be bad off to take dietary advice from Bobby Brainworm and The Great and Wonderous Dr. Oz:

Fellow Unbelievers:

Oh, and Trump originally promised he’d get gas prices to $2.00 a gallon within a year of winning office, so this is “Freedom Fuel Network” is a rip-off even by MAGA standards.

Fellow Unbeliever:

No sooner than one Fascist/Communist-friendly politician thug Graham Platner falls, the top dog of Fascist/Communist-friendly politicians, Donald J. Trump, rises up with a scheme to get support:

Trump is using his “Freedom Fuel Network” scheme to propagate the…[Read more]

Mehdi Hasan is lying to you.

Glad you posted this. It’s easy to forget Medhi Hassan in the polluted sea of others like him in Cyberspace.

Here’s just a short list of others who spread his poison against Jews and Israel. All ideologies and creeds and sadly a few professed “Libertarians” and Atheists too:

In 1776, the Western world still understood human societies as hierarchies, enforced by authority.

Fantastic article from Commentary and Allen Guelzo. It absolutely hit home about the ideals that underpinned our founding, where we fell short, and where we did better. I was amazed to learn the full extent our founding…[Read more]

Occam’s Razor is not dead. It has been demoted. It is no longer the supreme judge of scientific truth as Nature may not owe us humans a simple explanation.

Nature has always been complicated from the time we first beheld it and started thinking about it. Occam’s Razor is not a rule for the Natural Universe, it is a rule for our attempt t…[Read more]

AI shows promise in the fight against fake news.

Here’s hoping it does good because fighting Misinformation/Disinformation/Malinformation is hard enough between humans of different cultures and languages, even with smartphone translators.

I myself haven’t drank in 11 years and don’t plan to restart, at least until medical science can create instant regrowing brain and liver cells. For me, it’s not a virtue signal; I just don’t want brain and liver troubles on top of any pancreas troubles that may come from diabetes.

It still struck me as curious that the World Health…[Read more]

World of Woo: WHO and the Death of Evidence-Based Medicine.

Evidently, the World Health Organization has a no-threshold view of Alcohol, which ignores the entire history of U.S. Prohibition, with battery-poisoned rot-gut bathtub gin and gang wars in the streets over “sales turf.”

This no-threshold view of alcohol would also give support…[Read more]
