Asthenopia is a very broad and poorly defined concept pertaining to limited vision. It does not refer to a decline in visual function but instead encompasses all of the disorders and problems that arise in relation to looking at objects up close. This includes blurred vision, sporadic double vision, premature tiredness, and the inability to maintain a consistently clear image at a distance, leading to headaches and other eye related pain. The term eye strain is often used and generally means that the eyes are tired from intense use. This is not a symptom of disease. Rather, eye fatigue can … Continue reading →

Nick Giambruno: What exactly are Cultural Marxists, and how are they, and political correctness, contributing to the decline of Western Civilization? Doug Casey: Economic Marxism was intellectually debunked decades ago. With the collapse of the USSR, and radical changes in China, the man in the street became aware that the “intellectuals” were fools. And that is reinforced by the ongoing disasters in Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela. So, since they recognize that there’s nothing to steal if they implement Marxian economic policies, most “intellectuals” no longer talk about them. Cultural Marxism, however, is just as destructive. It divides people not into economic … Continue reading →

By Robert J. Krakow of Law Office of Robert J. Krakow, P.C. To the Daily Kos Blog: In response to the article you published: Robert F Kennedy, Jr and vaccines – why real journalists don’t interview him”  Dorit Reiss misses the point on vaccine manufacturer immunity. While Dorit Reiss may be technically correct in pointing out that vaccine manufacturers don’t have “blanket immunity” from liability to vaccine-injured individuals, her criticism of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s statements to Fox’s Tucker Carlson on these issues misses the point. Vaccine manufacturers do enjoy unprecedented legal protection against design defect claims brought by vaccine injury … Continue reading →

College enrollment has been surging over the past 4 years with 67.4% of high school men enrolling directly in college after high school in 2016 versus only 61.3% in 2012. Ask any economics professor at an Ivy League school what is driving the trend of higher college enrollments and you’ll get a quick response that implies that our young 18-year-old snowflakes are simply hedging their future employment opportunities against the devastating consequences of globalization and a deteriorating manufacturing base in the United States. And while their complex econometric models prove their point well beyond a shadow of a doubt (even … Continue reading →

The post College Enrollment Surges, But Is It Worth It? appeared first on LewRockwell.

Merck & Co. is the world’s largest vaccine manufacturing corporation, and is one of the largest pharma companies in the world. They created such things as the MMR vaccine, and the HPV vaccine Gardasil. As a corporation that has affected the lives of almost everyone around us in the Western world, with most people receiving their vaccinations that are known to do damage, we should know their history. In this article, we will examine Merck’s connection to biological warfare, and the implications of that connection. Merck & Co. is not to be confused with the German “Merck KGaA,” but they … Continue reading →

The most effective way to change the world if you have kids is to treat them right. Everything could change in one generation if there were a radical shift in parenting. Unfortunately, some indicators suggest things are getting worse. For instance, there has been an increase in kids hospitalized for attempted suicide or suicidal indicators. Now we can just hope that parents are becoming more alert to the warning signs and are therefore properly identifying them early in order to prevent suicide. But the most concerning thing is that these incidents tend to be concentrated at certain times of the … Continue reading →

I have had a continuing dialogue in the comments section of my post Liberté sans Fraternité?  The conversation begins here: The NAPster May 6, 2017 at 5:03 AM.  I have decided to continue the conversation via this new post. —————————— BM: You continue to avoid the fact that I own the state-controlled property.  Why? NAP: If one is to take a deontological as opposed to a consequentialist position, shouldn’t a libertarian just concern himself with advocating for policies that move us towards greater respect for private property rights? BM: Who says my position is not deontological?  I did advocate for … Continue reading →

Police in Arlington, TX are praising the swift action of a concealed carry permit holder who stepped up to eliminate a threat in a local restaurant Wednesday night. Authorities say the gunman walked into Zona Caliente, in the 6500 block of South Cooper Street, about 6:15 p.m. and fatally shot 37-year-old Cesar Perez of Duncanville, the bar’s manager, Arlington police spokesman Christopher Cook said. Authorities later found two loaded guns and two knives on Jones, Cook said. “We do believe he had the capacity to do much greater harm,” Cook said. Witnesses told police the gunman entered the establishment and immediately began yelling … Continue reading →

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; I am a law student in London and have reviewed your case after going to the premier here in London of the Forecaster. My professor said your case was “stitched up” and is indicative of how corrupt the American judicial system has become. They ordered you to turn over assets, refused to ever define what those assets are to prevent any compliance, and then when the bank pleads guilty and agreed to return all the money, they simply said there was another fraud without ever charging you with anything. How can the American press simply refuse to … Continue reading →

It’s no secret that in coastal cities — plus some interior cities like Denver — rents and home prices are up significantly since 2009. In many areas, prices are above what they were at the peak of the last housing bubble. Year-over-year rent growth hits more than 10 percent in some places, while wages, needless to say, are hardly growing so fast. Lower-income workers and younger workers are the ones hit the hardest. As a result of high housing costs, many so-called millennials are electing to simply live with their parents, and one Los Angeles study concluded that 42 percent … Continue reading →

From Seven Arts, 1917 To those of us who still retain an irreconcilable animus against war, it has been a bitter experience to see the unanimity with which the American intellectuals have thrown their support to the use of war-technique in the crisis in which America found herself. Socialists, college professors, publicists, new-republicans, practitioners of literature, have vied with each other in confirming with their intellectual faith the collapse of neutrality and the riveting of the war-mind on a hundred million more of the world’s people. And the intellectuals are not content with confirming our belligerent gesture. They are now … Continue reading →

Back in 2015, I subjected the tax proposals President Obama made in his State of the Union address to a libertarian analysis. It’s time to do the same for President Trump, albeit briefly. On April 26, Trump released a one-page outline of his plan for “Tax Reform for Economic Growth and American Jobs.” He claims that it is “the biggest individual and business tax cut in American history.” This is actually Trump’s third tax plan. The first was released in September of 2015 and the second was released in September of 2016. Each of them was much more detailed than … Continue reading →
