A group of Harvard professors who criticized the campus rape documentary “The Hunting Ground” are being menaced with the possibility of a Title IX sexual harassment investigation intended to silence their criticisms. “The Hunting Ground,” released early this year, portrays American college campuses as hotbeds of sexual assault where administrators routinely allow perpetrators to get off scot-free. The film has attracted a great deal of criticism, though, both for the data it relies on and for the individual stories it uses to portray the campus rape epidemic. Last month, a group of 19 Harvard Law School professors published an open letter … Continue reading →

Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician, was right when he pronounced, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” This has been confirmed by decades of research showing the healing power of food, as well as, inversely, its potential to cause some serious health problems. So many diseases, as well as the exponential rise in chronic disease in recent decades, can be linked to our eating habits today. We live in a world full of pesticides, antibiotic-laced meats, and processed foods that are manufactured to be addicting. On top of this, the birth and rise of chemical-based medicine has completely wiped out … Continue reading →

Originally published by AmmoLand.com. Louisiana – Islam declared war on unarmed civilians.  It is the muslim way, after all.  We’ve watched our politician dither.  What should ordinary citizens like us do?  Despite their heartfelt desire, Police and Sheriff’s Deputies cannot be everywhere to protect us.  Law enforcement does their best, but we need to protect ourselves until help arrives.  We have.  Armed citizens stopped mass murder.  Ordinary people like you and me saved lives time after time. Sure, President Obama wants us disarmed.  He is wrong.  Ordinary citizens like us are the secret weapon in the defense against terrorism and mass … Continue reading →

During the Middle Ages, Black Knights began to appear in history and, since the 13th century, a series of legends mentioning the mysterious Black Knights emerged. Although the Black Knights were said to have carried out good deeds and fought to protect cities from unjust rulers and other threats, texts referring to these legends were censored and banned by the Church during the medieval period. Nevertheless, the story of the legendary knight Ashor endured over the centuries. The origin of Black Knights is closely linked to the legend of Ashor, a knight who had remained skilled and strong, despite his advanced … Continue reading →

You know that Frank Sinatra was as talented a singer as he was an actor. That he had a collection of nicknames, from The Voice to Ol’ Blue Eyes. And that he liked to do things “My Way.” In honor of what would have been the legendary crooner’s 100th birthday, here are 35 things you might not have known about Frank Sinatra. 1. HIS BIRTH WAS A TRAUMATIC ONE. Born on December 12, 1915, in an apartment in Hoboken, New Jersey, Francis Albert Sinatra was blue and not breathing when he was yanked out of his mother with forceps. Thought … Continue reading →

A linguist from Harvard University has created a list of the words we misuse the most. In his latest book, “The Sense of Style,“ Harvard cognitive scientist and linguist Steven Pinker explores the most common words and phrases that people stumble over. It is reminiscent of Strunk and White’s classic “The Elements of Style,” but is based on linguistics and updated for the 21st century. In the English language, there is no definitive body governing the rules, so grammar can be up to interpretation. This isn’t true in languages such as French, but it means that when we speak English, it’s … Continue reading →

I can’t decide if it’s because kids really are getting ruder or I am just morphing into an old fart, but getting on a bus packed with teenagers has become a trying experience. It’s bad for the blood pressure, I’m sure. Never mind cutting out butter; people who want to keep their ticker in good order should cut out interactions with gangs of teens who are high on Red Bull but low on manners. That tinny music they play from their mobile phones. (Are they too cool for headphones?) Their lack of a volume knob for their voices. Their refusal … Continue reading →

A millennial walked into my office this week looking like a simpleton with a court date. He had a cheap suit on with square-toed shoes and his hair lay flat on his forehead like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber. His shirt came straight out of the dirty laundry and the collar on it was so crumpled it sat over his blazer like a pile of used condoms. When I began to list the dozens of fashion crimes this young man had just committed he stared at me like a Papua New Guinean being shown how to open a tin. … Continue reading →

Smartwatches collect data about users’ heart rates and exercise and stress levels; now Google wants to collect users’ blood to monitor their blood glucose. The multinational technology company has filed a patent for a “needle-free blood draw” system that would be built into smartwatches, or even handheld devices like smartphones. The system works like this, according to the filing: the machine sends an “abrupt surge” of gas into a barrel housing a “micro-particle” that does indeed puncture the skin and draws a miniscule amount of blood. The droplet is then sucked up into a negative pressure barrel. Theoretically, the entire … Continue reading →

According to CBS’ L.A. affiliates, neighbors of Muslim mass murderers Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik noticed some very suspicious things going on at the couple’s apartment in the days and weeks leading to the horrific massacre that took fourteen lives, but they chose not to report anything, for fear of being labeled “racist.” As Yoda might have said had he taught racial-sensitivity courses instead of Jedi training, “Conditioned well they are.” Political correctness wins again. Fourteen innocent lives lost, but at least no one was racist. I’m hardly being facetious. To the PC crowd, “racism” is worse than murder, and … Continue reading →

In a scathing attack on President Barack Obama’s drone war, four former operators of the remote-controlled killing machines declared that this kind of  warfare is actually fueling terrorism. Meanwhile,  the soldiers who pull the triggers are cast aside when they break down under the incessant stress of long-distance killing. “This administration and its predecessors have built a drone program that is one of the most devastating driving forces for terrorism and destabilization around the world,” the quartet of former Air Force service members wrote in a letter to Obama, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and CIA Director John Brennan. “We came … Continue reading →

On the Tuesday broadcast of “Pardon the Interruption” on ESPN, co-host Michael Wilbon reacted to the three Heisman Trophy finalists being named, calling Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey “the best player in college football by far.” Even though Wilbon said McCaffrey was the best, he speculated McCaffrey, who is a white running back, would receive more hype and attention if he were not a white running back. A white running back at the college level and higher has become a rarity in recent years, although Stanford’s Toby Gerhart, also white, was a Heisman finalist in 2009 when he finished runner-up to Alabama’s Mark … Continue reading →

Ever been told to mind your p’s and q’s? Unless you were working a mechanical printing press at the time, chances are you were fairly subtly being told to mind your manners. But what exactly are your p’s and q’s? The short answer is that no one really knows. But just because we don’t have a definitive answer doesn’t mean that we don’t have any answers at all. In fact, there are a number of competing theories as to what the original p’s and q’s might have been, some of which are a lot more convincing than others. THE BASIC … Continue reading →

Despite gold at near 6 year lows, global demand for physical bullion remains very high. This is clearly seen in the recent demand data from the U.S. Mint and other mints. It is also seen in demand data from GFMS and the World Gold Council which shows very robust demand from Germany, India and of course, China. There is also the very high official demand from central banks and, in particular, the Russian central bank and the People’s Bank of China (PBOC). Today came news that China’s gold reserves rose by another 21 tonnes in November, the biggest bout of … Continue reading →
