A pilot goes through a rigorous training process before being allowed to fly commercially, but even then their mettle can be well and truly tested. One Reddit user asked pilots, “What is the scariest moment of your career that passengers may have been oblivious to?” — and the results may change your feelings toward flying forever. While it may be chaos in the cockpit — from unconscious pilots to toxic fumes — passengers almost always remain blind to the drama ensuing up front. A complete loss of all electrical power The pilot of an Airbus 320 recalled the time his … Continue reading →

God help Donald Trump’s critics. The paroxysms they have after the mogul–turned–GOP nominee’s policy pronouncements can’t be good for their health. The latest is a real hoot. For dealing with our enormous national debt, Trump wants to do what he does best: negotiate with creditors. How so? By pressuring bondholders to accept a haircut on their payments. And if they don’t like the terms? Well, they’ll get their money by hook or by crook. In an interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box, Trump gave a brutally honest take on our dismal fiscal prospects. “We owe so much money—nobody talks about it. … Continue reading →

The need for niacin (vitamin B-3) is often marginalized, even amongst the health conscious. Multivitamins and B-complex supplements typically contain only negligible amounts of it. Although ensuring an adequate intake of niacin should be paramount considering that about one out of every three people die from heart disease in the industrialized world, and clinical depression effects about one in every ten adults. Niacin is an essential nutrient that we typically do not get enough of through our diets, due to depleted soils and processed foods. It is found in dairy products, poultry, fish, lean meats, and nuts. Niacin is vital … Continue reading →

Barack Obama’s transgender regime has officially carried its demands for your child’s compliance with sexual deviancy to the level of an imperial directive: Public schools must permit transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity, according to an Obama administration directive issued amid a court fight between the federal government and North Carolina.

When delegates to the Democratic national convention gather in Philadelphia at the end of July to – almost certainly – nominate Hillary Clinton as their presidential candidate, they may be in for a bit of a surprise. The night before the opening ceremonies, a film will be premiered in the city that portrays her in a very different light from the official biography. Clinton Cash is an hour-long cinematic version of the book of the same name that caused quite a stir when it was published a year ago. In lurid images of blood-splattered dollars fluttering down over warlords in conflict … Continue reading →

From the time we’re little children, we’re taught the virtues of bravery, though not always in a positive way.

But the concept of cowardice is an old one, and there are many now-obscure words for, as Yosemite Sam might put it, lowdown yellow-bellies. 1. WHITE LIVER You’ve probably heard a coward referred to as lily-livered. This term shares the same concept: If your liver is white, it lacks the respectable red color of … Continue reading →

“Zero. None whatsoever.” Jim Hedges is the 2016 presidential candidate for the Prohibition party. He isn’t optimistic about his chances of winning. Nor should he be. The Prohibition party got 270,000 votes in one presidential election, but that was in 1892. In 2012, the party made it onto the ballot in only one state and only 518 people voted for it. But this time will be different, Hedges says. The Prohibition party is hoping to be on the ballot in six states. “If I get a thousand votes in each of these six states I’ll be happy,” Hedges says. “It’ll … Continue reading →

They reviewed 150 studies and concluded drinking 1.4 pints or two 330ml cans protect the heart without increasing … Continue reading →
