Einstein said that the definition of insanity is to continue doing the same thing and expect different results. Isn’t this what the Russian government is doing when it continues to respond to false accusations and expects facts to have any bearing on the matter? As soon as the British orchestration of the “Skripal poisoning” was exposed as part of the ongoing plan to demonize Russia, the next false flag event is staged. Again Syria is accused of a chemical attack against civilians. As the Syrian army is fighting successfully against Washington’s mercenaries euphemistially called “rebels” even by Russian media, the … Continue reading

It is time to pay attention to cold climate change—the reality of life we are all going to experience. This month, this year is the start to a cold that will chill the earth and all its inhabitants. This is spring in Manhattan in the above picture, where in Central Park they had their biggest April snowstorm in 36 years. Now we are well into Spring and cold, wintry conditions are still what most Americans are having to deal with. As we move forward into spring it is a lot colder then we would expect in a seriously warming planet. The headlines … Continue reading

A used car is an unknown car. Even with receipts it’s hard to know for sure whether required maintenance was done – and done correctly. That second part being the intangible part. A receipt indicating that the axle lube was changed – or the brake fluid flushed – is kind of like a Federal Reserve Note. Its value is based on faith. The work was probably done. But how well was it done? And was it done with the right parts? Including the right fluids? This latter is very important with late-model cars, which often require very specific fluids (e.g., synthetic oil or oil of … Continue reading

Update: One of our commenters, Brandon Beeson, was kind enough to put this into a Google Doc as a checklist. Click here to access that document. Feel free to print and use as needed! Thanks Brandon! When buying a home, most people probably first think of the financial responsibility. Don’t let yourself forget, however, about the time and labor that home ownership also requires. Just like regular oil changes for your car keep your engine happy and healthy, keeping up with regular home maintenance tasks will keep you from future headaches and wasted money. It can be intimidating to think about these … Continue reading

After the Fidesz party secured a strong majority in the country’s parliament in Sunday’s elections, there have been reports that the new government could adopt a legislation to ban migration-friendly, non-governmental organizations on Hungarian soil. All NGOs in Hungary that advocate open borders and a liberal approach toward migration might be potentially banned starting from May, Janos Halasz, a Fidesz spokesman said on Monday, cited by the state news agency MTI. The official noted that the new parliament, which could be formed by the end of April, could adopt the new legislation among its first initiatives. The law will, among other things, introduce a 25 percent tax on foreign financial … Continue reading

As year six students across the country nervously prepare to take their SATs tests, a group of adults are going back to try their hand at the exams meant for 11-year-olds – with some very surprising results. Channel 4’s Class Of Mum And Dad gets 19 parents to take the exams – but more than half failed them on their first go. The average age of the group was 40, but they were all put in their school uniforms to see how they could cope in school in 2018. The adults, who include a legal secretary, a managing director, a … Continue reading

Whether you know it or now, you are at war. It’s not a shooting in the street war, at least not yet, but it is a war. Specifically, the people in charge have decided to wage war on segments of the American society. To paraphrase the late historian Christopher Lasch, the managerial elite has turned their back on average Americans and opted instead for a ruthlessly cosmopolitan view of life, one that values rootlessness, internationalism and transience. Increasingly, their ends are in direct conflict with liberal democracy. Another way of looking at this is that the managerial elite has reached class consciousness in … Continue reading

With his Sunday tweet that Bashar Assad, “Animal Assad,” ordered a gas attack on Syrian civilians, and Vladimir Putin was morally complicit in the atrocity, President Donald Trump just painted himself and us into a corner. “Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria,” tweeted Trump, “President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price… to pay.” “Big price… to pay,” said the president. Now, either Trump launches an attack that could drag us deeper into a seven-year civil war from which he promised to extricate us last week, or Trump is … Continue reading

One of the very first things I did when I first started prepping was to bolster my pantry with basic staples that could be used for a variety of purposes.  When it was suggested that I store salt, and lots of it, I was a disbeliever. After all, conventional mainstream wisdom had taught me that salt was the bad guy. But is it really? I made it my mission to determine whether salt is a good thing, a bad thing, or simply something best treated as an item to “use in moderation”. Editor’s Note: This article has been updated and revised … Continue reading

The reason for my unusual title will quickly become evident. Since the horrific mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 students and teachers dead, some conservatives have compromised on the issue of gun control. That should come as no surprise since some conservatives compromise what little principles they have on a regular basis. Many conservatives, however, have been resolute in their defense of gun freedom in spite of the ferocious Democrat, liberal, and progressive onslaught—including some conservatives at the Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C. It … Continue reading

The bilge pump on the ship of state is working overtime, and starting to groan.  A new kind of foul smell is permeating the halls of power, as if the festering boil of deep state interests just blew a pus-filled abscess.   The rising tide of my old neocon bosses from the Pentagon is upon us! Doug Feith, by General Tommy Frank’s observation “the f%&^ing stupidest guy on the face of the earth” just spent two hours in the oval Monday morning, interviewing for a job with President Trump!
