One in five of us use online passwords that we haven’t changed in a decade, a study shows. And almost half – 47 per cent – rely on at least one password that has not been changed for five years. Worryingly, a staggering 73 per cent of online accounts are activated by the same password we use for another account. Indeed, on average we have just six unique passwords to protect 24 online accounts. This trend leaves people exposed to the ‘domino effect’ – where a hacker compromises a user’s password for one service to access all of their accounts. … Continue reading →

The totalitarian socialists among us who try to disguise their true beliefs by calling themselves “progressives” are currently in the middle of one of their periodic fits of hyper-PC hysteria.  Upon learning that the mentally deranged, drugged-up little monster who murdered all those people in a Charleston church had his picture taken with a Confederate flag, the “progressives” commenced a new crusade to obliterate not only the Confederate flag from American memory, but also the memory of anyone in history whose views on race are not identical to theirs.  They have even called for the demolition of the Jefferson Memorial; … Continue reading →

Back when I got in the car sales business, I had to go through a weeklong training session.  The man doing the training said many things, but one thing that stuck with me was “there is no way a part-time customer who buys a car every five years can outsmart a full-time car salesman”.  There is a lot of truth in that statement, although with the Internet, the playing field has leveled somewhat.  I still hear from listeners who make some classic mistakes, which I want to cover in this article. *Not trusting your gut:  If you are in a … Continue reading →

By Dr. Mercola Every five years, the US Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) convene a 15-member panel to update the nation’s dietary guidelines. The panel’s mission is to identify foods and beverages that help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight, promote health, and prevent disease. In addition to guiding the public at large, the guidelines significantly influence nutrition policies such as school lunch programs and feeding programs for the elderly. The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) scientific report is an integral part of this process, as it serves as the foundation for the development … Continue reading →

By declining to make a wedding cake for Rachel Cryer and Laurel Bowman, Aaron Klein and his wife Melissa saved the lesbian couple roughly $350. This is a case in which discrimination on the part of a business materially benefited the supposed victims – even before a Soviet-grade “civil rights” bureaucrat in Oregon ordered the business owners to pay $135,000 to the aggrieved couple.

Within a few days, the would-be customers contracted with another bakery called Pastry Girl. The second vendor … Continue reading →
