Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in America for people over the age of 45. Our vision naturally declines as we age, but for some, it can get so bad that performing everyday tasks becomes a challenge. Other common eye diseases that can occur when aging include cataracts and glaucoma, and if left untreated, they can also ultimately lead to blindness. It’s important that you take the necessary steps to prevent these eye diseases from occurring so you don’t sacrifice your vision and can continue to live a healthy life. For this reason, we compiled a list … Continue reading →

Do state-mandated “safety” inspections ensure a “safe” car? On the day of the inspection, sure. The tires are ok, the brakes check out. Fine. But what about next week? And six months down the road? Aye, there’s the rub. Literally. Things like tires and brakes – and windshield wipers and suspension components – wear out over time because of friction; i.e. because they rub up against something and as a result of that, they wear down. It’s a gradual process and a differential process; different  parts wear at different rates. Brake pads might last 50,000 miles or more. Or half as long. It depends … Continue reading →

The lemmings are now in full stampede toward the cliffs. You can literally hear the cold waters churning, foaming and crashing on the boulders far below. From Bitcoin to Amazon, the financials, the Russell 2000 and most everything else in between, the casinos are digesting no information except the price action and are relentlessly rising on nothing more than pure momentum. The mania has gone full retard. Certainly earnings have nothing to do with it. As of this morning, the Russell 2000, for instance, was trading at 112X reported LTM earnings. Likewise, Q3 reporting is all over except for the shouting and reported LTM earnings for … Continue reading →

On Thanksgiving, I came to Scranton to stay with a 65-year-old friend who’s going through a cage fight kind of divorce, though only one side is dishing out the sharp elbows and knees. Just hearing Christmas music at the Dollar Store was driving him mad, Chuck confessed. The four-hour bus ride from Philly stopped in Doylestown, Easton, Stroudsburg and Mount Pocono. Just outside Easton, a black man had just shot two white cops after he was pulled over for speeding, and even as I dozed on the bus, another black man murdered a white state trooper in faraway Texas. Both … Continue reading →

Professor Charles W. Kingsfield Jr. announces his mission statement to his first-year contracts class at Harvard Law School. You teach yourselves the law, but I train your mind. You come in here with a skull full of mush; you leave thinking like a lawyer. Kingsfield is a fictional character, from the novel, 1973 movie, and television series The Paper Chase. John Houseman, as Kingsfield, had as memorable a voice and almost as fearsome a demeanor as Darth Vader, who would appear four years after The Paper Chase movie. Houseman won an Academy Award and became the spokesman for Smith Barney, stating its tag … Continue reading →

Have you seen the film Eyes Wide Shut? If so, you may recognize some of what you are about to see. In part, the film chronicles a man named Bill Harford who discovers an elite secret society and the type of behaviours they exhibit during their “parties.” Certainly there is much more to the film, but this is the important note when looking at the photos you are about to see below. Many believe that Kubrick was trying to warn the world about the occult elite and its depraved ways with the film Eyes Wide Shut as he would have had access to … Continue reading →

They said their doctors ordered them to not add … Continue reading →

The U.S. Navy (and to be frank, the whole U.S. military) is living in a state of total denial. In the next great powers war, or perhaps even in a conflict with a mid-tier power like Iran, at least one of our aircraft carriers will sink to the bottom of the sea. That means thousands of lives could be lost—and there would be very little we could do to stop it. We need to get used to a very simple reality: the decades-old age of the aircraft carrier, that great symbol of U.S. power projection, has now passed. We can … Continue reading →

Michael Flynn’s cooperation with the Russia probe seemed to unnerve President Donald Trump on Saturday night, and he lashed out at the FBI for ‘destroying’ the ex-adviser’s life. ‘So General Flynn lies to the FBI and his life is destroyed, while Crooked Hillary Clinton, on that now famous FBI holiday “interrogation” with no swearing in and no recording, lies many times… and nothing happens to her?’ Trump wrote. Buy Gold at Discounted Prices ‘Rigged system, or just a double standard?’ Trump complained that Flynn’s ‘life is destroyed’ by his FBI lies, while Clinton ‘lies many times’ during her interrogation by the FBI into her email … Continue reading →

A clerk at a Georgia convenience store is the latest example of a clerk successfully using a firearm in self-defense while at work. The Douglasville store is located in a bit of a bad neighborhood, apparently, so the clerk on duty was ready when a man entered the store with a gun. A store clerk shot an armed robber at a Douglasville, Ga., Chevron gas station. Located at 6590 E. Broad St./Bankhead Highway, the store clerk called 911 and told the dispatcher that the suspect pointed a handgun at him. The store clerk retrieved his own gun and shot the suspect … Continue reading →

I’ve written about The Big Lie many times over the years, and it’s more in evidence today than ever before in our nation’s capital.  Shock and disgust over sexual harassment in government, Hollywood, and the corporate world is a Big Lie.  Tax reform is a Big lie.  Social Security is a Big Lie.  Global warming is a Big Lie.  Braying over the plight of so-called Dreamers is a Big Lie.  And, of course, any government solution to the healthcare crisis is a Big Lie. The Big Lie is a tool used by high-level, professional liars, those who are so morally … Continue reading →
