Obama administration OK’s dumping 76 billion gallons of wastewater into Gulf of Mexico before quietly approving hundreds of offshore fracking permits

It’s summertime again, which means many of us will be spending a lot more time outdoors walking, biking, hiking, swimming, camping, kayaking — anything to soak up as much sun as possible! But generally along with the great outdoors come bugs, including the much-dreaded, unbelievably annoying, and potentially fatal mosquitoes. These insects carry some of the most deadly diseases in the world, including West Nile, dengue fever, and malaria. To avoid these potentially life-threatening illnesses, many health officials warn the public to be sure they are using mosquito repellant containing DEET, a powerful chemical. The Dangers Of DEET From The Washington … Continue reading

Which only means “we” are doomed to repeat these…. I have begun to read a book that examines the history that led to the Great War.  This period has always been of interest to me as I have not found satisfying explanations as to why Europe decided to consume itself so completely (and deal its suicide blow).  Toward this end, I came across The Lost History of 1914: How the Great War Was Not Inevitable, by Jack Beatty. From a review at Amazon: Augmenting the literature on the origins of WWI, Beatty dwells on domestic political situations in the initial … Continue reading

As I was writing my new book on TWA Flight 800 –TWA 800: The Crash, The Cover-Up, The Conspiracy, now available wherever you buy books — I wondered how Hillary Clinton’s success would affect the book’s. On the up side, if Hillary were nominated, the book would be more relevant as she was at the quiet center of the action. On the downside, her nomination would increase the odds that a protective major media would continue to ignore the great untold story of our time. The media run the risk of being the only adults who do not know this … Continue reading

Just over a week ago the world was coming unglued, as enough British citizens grew a pair and spit in the face of the EU establishment and global elite by voting to exit the EU. The fear mongering by central bankers and their puppet political hacks failed to deter people who have become sick and tired of being abused and pillaged by bureaucrats working on behalf of bankers and billionaires. Stock markets around the world plummeted on Thursday and Friday. The world braced for another Black Monday. The phone lines were buzzing between central bankers around the world over the … Continue reading

The recent announcement by the FBI that Hillary Clinton did not break the law but simply showed “extreme carelessness” should serve as a shot across the bow to anyone responsible for their organization’s information security. The FBI’s recommendation does not provide much help in regards to determining where the line is drawn between criminal “gross negligence” and “extreme carelessness”. One theory is that the difference lies in foreknowledge and intent. If so, then all of us in the security space need to take a very hard look at improving and enhancing security awareness within our organizations. Our users must be … Continue reading

Forget everything you’ve been taught about dieting. Many struggle to lose weight and often wonder why they can’t get their desired body in time for the summer. But now an expert believes he may know the reason why – and it lies within our eating habits. You could be consuming too much after exercising, at a time when you’re craving calories due to hunger. Or you may be misunderstanding the real use of salt, damaging your chances of cutting down to a slimmer figure.   Writing for Healthista, renowned endocrinologist and Harvard University obesity expert Dr. David Ludwig explains in his new … Continue reading

Uncle admits that his current fuel economy fatwas have added $1,800 (laughable; it’s much, much more) to the price tag of every new car – a sum that renders the savings achieved at the pump an irrelevance. The current MPG mandatory minimum is 35.5 MPG (average) vs. 27.5 (what it was back in 2010 before Uncle kicked it up). Most new cars don’t average 35.5 MPG; a very few hit that marks (like the Prius hybrid) but most fall far short. But let’s – for the sake of discussion – say that Uncle’s fatwa achieved its stated goal of forcing … Continue reading
