Nothing speaks to the heart of man like a good tale of adventure. Whether in the form of a bedtime story read to young boys or a nail biting page turner that keeps you up at night, the adventure story is one genre of literature that stays with you for a lifetime. The very mention of such novels brings to mind images of buried treasure, hidden deep in the jungle of a deserted island, protected by dastardly pirates and the local cannibal population. Or perhaps the mind jumps instead to the image of a forgotten world, complete with lost civilization … Continue reading →

Justin’s note: Illinois is dead broke. Every month, it spends $600 million more than it collects in taxes. The state is now $15 billion in debt. There’s no telling how much worse its financial situation will become, either. After all, Illinois hasn’t had a budget in two years. If it can’t put one together by tomorrow, Standard & Poor’s will cut its credit rating to “junk.” It would become the first state ever with this distinction. This would have serious implications for the 13 million people living in Illinois. It could trigger a nationwide debt crisis. Doug Casey and I … Continue reading →

The current year is 2017, people, so why are we still segregating male and female athletes? Don’t they know that gender is a social construct and everyone’s equal? Legendarily ill-tempered tennis champ John McEnroe outraged gender-deniers across the planet last week when he said that black female tennis champeen Serena Williams was not the world’s best tennis player. He said she’s the best female tennis player of all time, but that was not enough to appease the rabid egalitotalitarian hordes. The now-infamous (if entirely reasonable) exchange happened between McEnroe and Lulu Garcia-Navarro of NPR: Garcia-Navarro:  Let’s talk about Serena Williams. … Continue reading →

FINALLY: a European country that gets it! In December, when the European Commission responded to terrorist attacks by passing stricter gun laws, only three countries stood against their impotent actions. Now, one of them is taking matters into their own hands with a proposition to put the right to bear arms back into their Constitution and put guns into the hands of its citizens for protection. On Wednesday, the lower house of the Czech parliament voted in favor of adding gun rights to their constitution. “This constitutional bill is in reaction to the recent increase of security threats, especially the danger of violent … Continue reading →

Despite being entirely different animals (sharing the order Crocodilia, but not a family), people often wonder about the difference between crocodiles and alligators. After all, they appear to be very similar. To the untrained eye, both look like prehistoric swamp lizards, but there are some tricks you can use so you don’t make a faux pas the next time you’re in Florida. The quickest way to tell the two reptiles apart is by their smile: In both animals’ lower jaws, they have a long tooth on either side. When crocodiles close their mouths, you can see these long teeth protrude from their faces. … Continue reading →

A new island that’s appeared off the North Carolina coast is exciting water-loving locals and tourists alike. It’s being called Shelly Island. Visitors say it’s a great place to collect seashells. And thanks to the changing tides of the Atlantic Ocean, those enjoying Cape Hatteras’ Cape Point can now trek to this newly formed island. But, if you go, the park service is warning visitors not to swim out (use a flotation devices such as a paddle board or surfboards) because of the dangerous currents and riptides that helped form the massive sand bar.

The police do not care about keeping you safe. If they did, they wouldn’t put innocent people in danger every day by driving unmarked cars, behaving unprofessionally, and performing no-knock raids. All these things make it quite easy to impersonate an officer in order to commit a crime. People know their lives are literally in jeopardy if they disobey even the most minor order from a police officer. Innocent people are no exception, and simply questioning an officer, or asserting one’s rights has gotten people beaten, arrested, and even killed. Because of this environment created by an overbearing oppressive police … Continue reading →

The New York Times has finally admitted that one of the favorite Russia-gate canards – that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies concurred on the assessment of Russian hacking of Democratic emails – is false. On Thursday, the Times appended a correction to a June 25 article that had repeated the false claim, which has been used by Democrats and the mainstream media for months to brush aside any doubts about the foundation of the Russia-gate scandal and portray President Trump as delusional for doubting what all 17 intelligence agencies supposedly knew to be true. In the Times’ White House Memo … Continue reading →

Here is the proof. The skinny on fake news. By Saint John Hunt Basically, I’m typing this for myself. I can’t imagine anyone with half a brain who is ignorant of the collusion between the mainstream (fake) news media and their masters. The purpose of said collusion is to discredit the Trump administration by the non-stop reporting of fabricated “news” aimed at creating doubt in the public’s mind, with regard to their president. The masters I speak of are in our own government, as well as foreign governments such as Bahrain. Back in 2013, CNN reporter Amber Lyon became a … Continue reading →

Even if you rent instead of own, property tax still is an important component of your housing cost. Your landlord will take the tax on his house – your home – into account to calculate your rent. So either way, the real-estate tax is a factor in your cost of living well worth considering. How high or low your effective real-estate tax is, varies by state. New Jersey has the highest rate, at 2.35%. Hawaii the lowest, at 0.27%. Time to buy old US gold coins Click to enlarge Originally published by HowMuch.net.

The sun is heading into a period known as solar minimum, during which activity at the surface will ‘change form.’ In this time, certain types of activity, such as sunspots and solar flares will drop – but, it’s also expected to bring the development of long-lived phenomena including coronal holes. According to NASA, solar minimum could also enhance the effects of space weather, potentially disrupting communications and navigation systems, and even causing space junk to ‘hang around.’ The sun follows roughly an 11-year cycle. While sunspots were relatively high back in 2014, they’re now heading toward a low point expected … Continue reading →
