You’ve found the hidden panda and sussed out the image contained in a seemingly solid red dot, but now there’s a new head-scratching riddle sweeping the internet. Tim Urban and Andrew Finn of the website butwaitwhy.com have created a fiendishly difficult puzzle based around three jelly beans. The premise of the puzzle is that you have to choose to eat one of three jelly beans laid out on a stump, two of which are poisonous. ‘Two of the jelly beans on the stump are poisonous—you’ll die within 30 seconds of eating either one of them,’ the riddle explains. ‘But one … Continue reading →

Woman sues P&G, says she was fired for being pregnant, looking ‘not perfect’

By Dr. Mercola When you’re in the midst of your daily grind — to-do lists, work deadlines, cooking, cleaning, children’s activities and the like — you’re probably not thinking about what you could do to feel happier. There’s no time for that, and your mind is probably occupied with more important, or at least more pressing, matters. But if you do stop to think about it, few things are more important than happiness.

“Equal pay for equal work should be a fundamental principle of our economy,” bellowed President Obama on Tuesday while commemorating Equal Pay Day. “It’s the idea that whether you’re a high school teacher, a business executive, or a professional soccer player or tennis player, your work should be equally valued and rewarded, whether you are a man or a woman.” Somebody get this guy an editor. He could do with a researcher, too if the soccer mention was a shout-out to the complaint the U.S. women’s soccer players brought to the Equal Employment Commission. They have had enough of getting … Continue reading →

The  U.S. is a Failed Empire in free fall financially, economically and politically at home and around the world, very similar to the U.K  Global Empire a century and more ago. The U.S. is  using stupid war drums, political pronuncio BS and so on in its Monopoly Media to deceive its captive ignoramuses into believing that the U.S. Global Empire is powerful and growing at no risk to the captives.

They are also reordering their vast societies … Continue reading →

In an editorial in the print edition of Reason, Matt Welch takes me to task for “celebrating” the candidacy of Donald Trump, who he calls a “false prophet of anti-interventionism.” Reason’s editor cites one of my more hopeful predictions about the beneficial consequences of the Trump Effect on American politics: “’If Trump gets the Republican nomination the neocons are through as a viable political force on the Right,’ Antiwar.com’s Justin Raimondo enthused at the end of February. ‘And if Trump actually wins the White House, the military-industrial complex is finished, along with the globalists who dominate foreign policy circles in … Continue reading →

“Our safety and happiness lie in obedience to law by every man, woman, and child,” pontificated Attorney General Harry Micajah Daugherty in his keynote address to the 1921 annual conference of the American Bar Association in Cincinnati. His homily on the supposed virtue of submission to the state was offered in the service of the crusade to “suppress the age-long evil of the liquor traffic,” a holy errand to which the assembled legal luminaries were firmly committed, at least while they were on the clock. “After hours,” Edward Behr wryly observed in his book Prohibition: Thirteen Years that Changed America, … Continue reading →
