According to the DEA, the problem with cannabis in the United States isn’t that it’s still designated a dangerous drug with no medicinal value in spite of volumes of emerging scientific research indicating otherwise. The problem is actually that the media has made it difficult for government agents to arrest people for selling and consuming it. The DEA also blames the increasing trend of legalization across the United States. In its 2016 National Drug Threat Assessment Summary [pdf], the DEA observes that “While marijuana remains illegal under federal law, many states have passed laws allowing the cultivation, possession, and use … Continue reading →

I read this book as a college grad fairly ignorant of economic matters. It completely changed my world view. Perhaps that sounds hyperbolic, but the common-sense lessons about human thought and action in this small, easily digestible book have materialized in virtually every aspect of my life, from the obvious, such as my views on political policy, to the obscure, such as my relationships and my satisfaction with my own choices. Hazlitt is never heavy-handed; he comes over as extremely objective because he doesn’t need to convince anyone of his views. He is confident that anyone who takes the time … Continue reading →

FAMILIES can enjoy high-fat foods this Christmas without fearing for their health after research overturned previously accepted wisdom. Current dietary advice says foods containing high levels of saturated fats such as cream, butter, red meat, eggs and cheese should be avoided because they increase the risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and cancer. But a study published in a leading medical journal has found the opposite is true, with a diet full of natural fats improving the health of people taking part. Professor Sherif Sultan, a heart specialist from the University of Ireland, said: “We urgently need to overturn … Continue reading →

THERE could be a hidden city frozen underneath Antarctica, according to shock claims. The huge continent is an icy mass and is currently only inhabited by scientific researchers and penguins thanks to its freezing temperatures. Rumours of a hidden city have been floating about for years, as conspiracy theorists and even some scientists claim the freezing continent is actually the home of the legendary Lost City of Atlantis. One scientific theory claims that once upon a time Antarctica was ice-free and home to an ancient civilization.

Every pompous television pundit and untrustworthy intelligence agency wants you, the vulnerable news consumer, to believe that Putin hacked the DNC from the Kremlin’s basement, directly resulting in Hillary Clinton’s defeat — even though it was clearly “her turn”. And we must admit — although it pains us to do so — that all the unverifiable accusations and rumors point to direct Kremlin meddling in our beloved American democracy. It’s a simple fact: You cannot find an anonymous source from an anonymous intelligence agency who will say that Russian didn’t steal Hillary Clinton’s emails. Damning. Which is why we were so … Continue reading →

As physical currency around the world is increasingly phased out, the era where “cash is king” seems to be coming to an end. Countries like India and South Korea have chosen to limit access to physical money by law, and others are beginning to test digital blockchains for their central banks. The war on cash isn’t going to be waged overnight, and showdowns will continue in any country where citizens turn to alternatives like precious metals or decentralized cryptocurrencies. Although this transition may feel like a natural progression into the digital age, the real motivation to go cashless is downright sinister. … Continue reading →

Anonymous CIA officials claim that Russia hacked the U.S. election by accessing emails from top Democratic officials and then leaking them to Wikileaks. But the Washington Post notes: Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) voiced doubts about the veracity of the intelligence, according to officials present. *** A senior U.S. official said there were minor disagreements among intelligence officials about the agency’s assessment, in part because some questions remain unanswered.

From USA Today, we get a teachable moment. The headline reads “Weekend snow sets stage for polar vortex’s icy return” “Snow is forecast to spread across the nation’s northern tier this weekend and as far east as Maine by Monday, setting the stage for another blast of bitterly cold air next week that could send temperatures plunging as far south as Atlanta. As serious winter weather settles in, the anticipation of harsh cold marks the reappearance of the Polar Vortex, like the one that infamously slammed the U.S. in January 2014.

One of the tools being tested will enable users to inform Facebook if certain news stories are using “misleading language”. Some users posted images of a Facebook survey asking them the following question: “To what extent do you think that this link’s title withholds key details of the story?”. It is still unclear what kind of actions will be carried out after this additional user data is collected, but it is likely that some sort of a database, containing the list of “misleading” news websites, will be generated. In a not so distant past, content curators from Facebook confirmed that they received direct orders from the company … Continue reading →

This is some next-level poetic justice: A Michigan recount backed by Jill Stein and the Democrats, and intended to delegitimize Trump’s astonishing victory on November 8, has actually exposed widespread fraud in precincts which voted heavily for Clinton. Hillary even sucks at cheating. Via the Detroit News: Michigan’s largest county voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but officials couldn’t reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results late last month. Most of those are in heavily Democratic Detroit, where the number of ballots in precinct poll books did not match those of … Continue reading →

Roman civilization grew by destroying hundreds of others. In this process, many brave men and women challenged the almighty Roman army in the name of freedom, and even the Romans expressed their admiration for their deeds and courage. Today, many of these names are still considered a symbol of independence, determination, and national pride. 10 Pyrrhus Of Epirus In 280 BC, as Rome was conquering Southern Italy, the Greek city of Taras (modern-day Taranto) called for the aid of Pyrrhus (c. 319–272 BC), a Greek commander and king of the city of Epirus in present-day Northwest Greece. Pyrrhus answered Taras’s … Continue reading →
