During her appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, Attorney General Loretta Lynch admitted that she asked the FBI to examine whether the federal government should take legal action against so-called climate change deniers. Attorney General Lynch is not responding to any criminal acts committed by climate change skeptics. Instead, she is responding to requests from those frustrated that dissenters from the alleged climate change consensuses have successfully blocked attempts to create new government programs to fight climate change. These climate change censors claim that the argument over climate change is settled and the deniers’ success in blocking congressional … Continue reading →

By Dr. Mercola Flavonoids are a group of phytonutrients found in most fruits and vegetables. There are more than 6,000 unique flavonoids, each with its own role to play in your health.1 Flavonoids are most well known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, but they’re also useful for detoxification and have been found to lower the risk of many chronic conditions. New research even suggests they may help fight weight gain that tends to occur with age. Flavonoids May Help You Fight ‘Middle-Age Spread’ Many people gain weight as they age, but this “middle-age spread” isn’t an inevitable part of … Continue reading →

Last Wednesday, the Swiss National Council voted to withdraw the country’s dormant application to join the European Union (EU). A clear majority of Swiss voters are not interested in joining the EU. And no democratically sanctioned application was ever submitted. However, it has been “in the drawer” for some time. Recently, the motion to withdraw that unwelcome piece of paper was finally submitted by the Swiss Peoples’ Party (SVP). SVP won a majority in the parliamentary elections held last October. 116 out of 200 MPs supported this motion. It is also worth noting that last year, Iceland withdrew its application … Continue reading →

Maidhc Ó Cathail: In your latest book, you dub Hillary Clinton the “Queen of Chaos”. Can you explain why you chose this derogatory sobriquet to describe Hillary? Diana Johnstone: Libya, in a word. Hillary Clinton was so proud of her major role in instigating the war against Libya that she and her advisors initially planned to use it as a basis of a “Clinton doctrine”, meaning a “smart power” regime change strategy, as a presidential campaign slogan. The Libyan catastrophe actually inspired me to write this book, along with the mounting danger of war with Russia. War creates chaos, and Hillary … Continue reading →

One of the world’s best female tennis players, Maria Sharapova, has been suspended, because a medicine she has been taking legally under a doctor’s prescription for ten years was suddenly retroactively declared to be a prohibited substance that is a “metabolic modulator.” The medicine, known as mildronate and also as meldonium in its banned name, has been in medical use for thirty years. Its inventor declared that the prohibition of mildronate “is a crime” and will lead to deaths among athletes. He says that it has not been proven that the medicine enhances athlete performance, but it does protect their … Continue reading →

Dr. Donald Miller (donaldwmiller@gmail.com) and I (wblock@loyno.edu) are starting up a new group to be called Libertarians for Trump. LFT has its work cut out for it in mobilizing massive support for Donald Trump within the libertarian community. For there are some libertarians who oppose supporting any politician for political office, even a 99% pure one such as Dr. Ron Paul. However, I dedicated this book to refuting arguments of that sort: Block, Walter E. 2012. Yes to Ron Paul and Liberty. New York: Ishi Press. (By the way, the forward to that book – not written by me — … Continue reading →

President Obama has submitted his latest budget to Congress. It will be the last budget he submits to Congress, the last budget battle he faces with Congress, and the last time his budget will be dead on arrival in Congress. For the first time in history, the federal budget for the next fiscal year, which begins on October 1 of  this year, will top $4 trillion. To put this in historical perspective, the federal budget first reached $100 billion in the fiscal year 1962. It first reached $1 trillion in the fiscal year 1987 (thank you, Ronnie). It first reached … Continue reading →

There is a tradition in the White House – from outgoing president to new president: the presidential letter.  Here is a photo of the folder containing the letter from Bush to Obama. Obama has begun working on two drafts – one for The Donald and a second for Hillary. You might find this hard to believe, but I have obtained copies of each. The Donald Dear Donald, I congratulate you again on your victory, and offer the following as thoughts to consider as the new president and commander-in-chief: First, I suggest you read Roger Stone’s book, The Man Who Killed Kennedy. … Continue reading →

But that might be a small consolation when disaster strikes and you’re faced with calling a plumber for expensive (and urgent) attention. While there’s no guarantee against drain problems, some of the plumbers we’ve spoken with have some tips for avoiding costly repairs. Here’s how to keep everything but your wallet going down the drain. 1. NEVER POUR GREASE INTO THE SINK. Professionals say that kitchen sinks are typically where most clogs are found in … Continue reading →

Athens—I am walking around downtown Athens watching thousands of migrants fielding pitches from smugglers for alternative routes to Germany and Austria. I ask a friendly policeman fifty years younger than me why he doesn’t arrest the smugglers and throw the key away. “Others will take their place quicker than we put the handcuffs on them,” he tells me. “And they pretend to be migrants the moment we approach.” Smuggling people is big business, and most of the bad guys are Afghans, as far as I can tell while mixing among them. It is grim stuff, especially where children are concerned. … Continue reading →
