If you think allergies are just a spring and summer problem, then unfortunately, you’d be wrong. Many allergy sufferers can equally be a bad time for itchy watery eyes, sneezing, and plugged ears. This year in particular, many allergy sufferers are finding their allergies are not only worse but lingering for longer. You can blame climate change on this. If you haven’t noticed it seems that the warmer weather has stuck around for longer which increases carbon dioxide which allows for allergy-producing plants to live longer and making pollen more potent. The good news is that your diet can play … Continue reading →

Asked to name the defining attributes of the America we wish to become, many liberals would answer that we must realize our manifest destiny since 1776, by becoming more equal, more diverse and more democratic — and the model for mankind’s future. Equality, diversity, democracy — this is the holy trinity of the post-Christian secular state at whose altars Liberal Man worships. But the congregation worshiping these gods is shrinking. And even Europe seems to be rejecting what America has on offer. In a retreat from diversity, Catalonia just voted to separate from Spain. The Basque and Galician peoples of … Continue reading →

Justin: Doug, I can’t wait to get your take on the recent NFL protests. But first tell me what you think of the National Anthem. Is it a worthy tradition? Doug: I don’t see what sporting events have to do with nationalism. I don’t think they should go together. The idea of playing a national anthem at sporting events or other gatherings is foolish and dangerous. It elevates the notion of the state, it keeps the presence of the government in front of people. It’s almost as bad an idea as having kids pledge allegiance to the flag at the start of … Continue reading →

In light of the 30-year anniversary of the Black Monday Crash in 1987 (when the Dow lost more than 20% in “one day”, we should be reminded that investor anxiety usually increases when markets get to extremes. If stock prices fall steeply, people fret about money lost, and if they move too high too fast, they worry about sudden reversals. As greed is supposed to be counterbalanced by fear, this relationship should not be surprising. But sometimes the formula breaks down and stocks become very expensive even while investors become increasingly complacent. History has shown that such periods of untethered optimism … Continue reading →

Scientists have long debated whether or not a mysterious ninth planet lurks at the edge of our solar system. Some astronomers think the existence of the alleged planet – which they claim is 10 times the size of Earth – explains the bizarre way some distant objects in space move. Now scientists have found new evidence that ‘Planet Nine’ exists by building simulations of the solar system with different sizes of the celestial body. They found that the unusual orbits of distant rocks in our system can be explained by the presence of a ninth planet with the dimensions scientists … Continue reading →

America’s Great Game: The CIA’s Secret Arabists and the Shaping of the Modern Middle East, by Hugh Wilford. Americans had ventured into the Arab world for many decades prior to the end of World War Two.  Much of this time, the interaction was driven by private means: missionaries, universities, archeologists, charitable organizations.  For those Americans exposed to this world, the overwhelming description that could be applied would be to label these as Arabists: understanding and appreciating both the Arab people and the Arab culture. This was even true in the early years of official US government intervention in the region.  In many ways, … Continue reading →

Brush up on these tips and you may be well on your way to being chiseled in marble. Write a theory of economics that glorifies state plunder. The state-run universities will then buy your book and make it required reading.  Grammar and logical foundation do not matter. Learn to scare people. Start a War and kill a million people. Put your picture on money. Put a bunch of people in prison. The reason doesn’t matter.  It can be for ethnic reasons, speaking out of turn, operating a business, or possessing a substance. Take a bunch of money from people and … Continue reading →
