“Despite promising during the campaign…” More and more, this is the lead-in to stories about President Trump and his year-old administration. Call it “flip-flopping” or any other pejorative, it isn’t “fake news”. For someone with such a stellar “show biz” background, it is remarkable the former Apprentice star seems to forget the invention of videotape and Instant Replay. Proving dogmatic, straight-forward statements made yesterday are diametrically opposed to absolute contradictions made today is as easy as typing “Google” <enter>. One doesn’t need Professor Peabody’s “Way Back Machine” to find a target-rich environment of Trump switcher-oos: Medicaid, Marijuana, the “big beautiful … Continue reading →

Editor’s Note: This resource has been updated and revised for 2018. My love affair with paracord continues.  Not only is it strong and useful for a myriad of tasks, it is colorful and fun to work with while making bracelets, key fobs, belts and other goodies. I am not the only one that feels this way. Simply enter the term “paracord” into a search engine and you will be presented with thousands of articles covering everything from what it is, how it is used, where to buy it, and more. It seems like everyone has a stake in the paracord love-fest … Continue reading →

On January 10th, TASS reported that Moscow and Beijing have made an agreement to closely coordinate efforts to resolve the situation on the Korean Peninsula.  This was stated by the Russian Foreign Ministry after the conclusion of a meeting between the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov and the Chinese Ambassador to Russia, Li Hui. The Korean story is a swiftly developing one, and has gained momentum since North Korean President Kim Jong-un directed his government to move to re-open communication with the South Korean government.  This directive was announced in Jong-un’s New Year address to his nation, and it was followed … Continue reading →

Together with the cold weather, fall and winter also beckons flu season, with many people coughing and sneezing wherever you turn. Flu, or influenza, affects around 5 percent to 20 percent of the American population per year, which translates to roughly 10.4 billion dollars of medical expenses annually.1 Aside from the medical expenses, influenza season also means missed schooldays and workdays. If you’re currently battling a bout of flu, a couple of questions come to mind: How long does this usually last and what can you do to recover fast? This article will answer these questions, plus provide other helpful facts … Continue reading →

You may have heard about people getting speeding tickets not based on the reading of a radar gun or other instrument subject to empirical verification but solely on the basis of an armed government worker’s “training,” his estimation – that is is, his opinion – about how fast the alleged offender was traveling. In some jurisdictions, this is considered acceptable evidence in court – sufficient to convict. Now comes the Drug Whisperer. A whole army of them.  These are armed government workers such as Cobb County, Georgia’s TT Carroll – who have received similar “training” and been anointed Certified Drug Recognition … Continue reading →

An interesting theme concerning Syria is the involvement of the People’s Republic of China in the conflict. While China’s diplomatic and economic assistance has been constant, its military contribution to Syria is less known. It is important for China and Russia to contain and defeat the terrorist phenomenon in the Middle East, as well as to defang the strategists in the US deep state who are unceasing in their efforts to employ jihadism as a weapon to destabilize Eurasia’s integration projects. The Jihad International, under the economic and strategic guidance of the United States, has recruited tens of thousands of terrorists over the years and … Continue reading →

In the course of the ongoing mass immigration, the question of integration has been raised by everyone: Politicians, journalists and also the regulars in the bar puzzle over, talk about and discuss how the hundreds of thousands of Afghans, Ethiopians, Algerians, Bosniaks, Eritreans, Iraqis, Moroccans, Serbs, Syrians, Pakistanis and everyone else on a pilgrimage to the German welfare handouts can best be ‘integrated’ into Germany. To be honest, what this ubiquitous word is actually supposed to mean is not quite clear to me. The idea is, apparently, that the immigrants who are hiding behind the veil of the right to … Continue reading →
