It Costs $84,000 to Cure Hepatitis C Through U.S. Insurance: I Did It for $1,500 Ordering the Same Drug From India

There’re three questions strangers pose to me that cause me to lose hope in the long-term viability of the human race. The first one is, “Did you watch (insert lame TV show or sports game/program here) on TV last night?!” The second is, “Hey, you gonna play the Powerball?! The lottery is up to ten million bucks!” And third and last is, “Who are you voting for?” Ok, in order: Television is the best circus to pacify and entertain the masses since the Roman Coliseum went Chapter 11. If anyone thinks the government isn’t telling you what they wish you to … Continue reading

The coming ‘sharia gold standard’ or shariah compliant gold could lead to a very significant source of  new demand for physical gold coins and bars in the Islamic world. It is believed that this will contribute to much higher prices and gold “soaring” as some of the $2 trillion of assets held in Islamic financial institutions are allocated to the very small physical global gold market. “The Islamic finance entry into gold market could definitely shake the gold market as Islamic financial institutions around the world, which hold around $2 trillion in assets and are expected to double that asset base up to … Continue reading

Californians are being told to brace for ‘the big one’ – a massive earthquake that typically occurs every 400 to 600 years and could leave thousands dead or homeless. An earthquake scientist has added to claims the dreaded event is overdue, warning the San Andreas fault is ‘locked, loaded and ready to roll’. The fault is the longest in California and one of the state’s most dangerous. Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Centre, said the fault has been ‘too quiet’ since 1857. This is when the last big quake to strike a southern section rippled from Monterey … Continue reading

First, there were seventeen. At length, there was one. Donald Trump’s wildly improbable capture of the GOP nomination, therefore, is the most significant upheaval in American politics since Ronald Reagan. And the proximate cause is essentially the same. Like back then, an era of drastic bipartisan misgovernance has finally generated an electoral impulse to sweep out the stables. Accordingly, the Donald’s patented phrase that “we aren’t winning anymore” is striking a deep nerve on the main street. But that is not on account of giant trade deficits or a faltering foreign policy and failed military adventures per se. Indeed, it has very little to do with any patriotic impulse with respect to America’s collective policy, and … Continue reading

Politics is a blood sport in Kentucky.Following a tense budget battle with Democrats in the legislature, Kentucky’s crusading new Republican Governor Matt Bevin is now taking aim at Kentucky’s history of systemic government corruption, which the FBI Special Agent in charge of unearthing Democrat wrongdoing in the Commonwealth went so far as to call “an open secret.”  He added that in some parts of the Commonwealth, public corruption was “tolerated” and “ingrained.” According to the New York Times, Bevin alleges that during his predecessor  Governor Steven Beshear’s tenure “state employees were coerced into contributing to political campaigns and that a contract was … Continue reading

If you spend any time outdoors, you know that poison ivy can grow just about anywhere and is the bane of all outdoor enthusiasts. 85% of the population has some sort of allergic reaction to poison. In all truthfulness, it is not the plant people are allergic to, but the oil in poison ivy, poison oak, and sumac. All parts of the plant contain the oil, urushiol, which causes the bubbly, itchy rash. Once the oil makes contact with your skin through direct or indirect exposure (from clothing, shoes, or your pet), a rash can occur within 12 to 72 hours. Within that time, you … Continue reading

Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton wrote an opinion piece last week in USAToday, trying to “temper” feelings surrounding the release of “the 28 pages.” Kean and Hamilton wrote, “The 28 pages have generated a lot of public speculation over the years and have been described as a ‘smoking gun’ implicating the Saudi government in the deadliest terrorist attack carried out on U.S. soil.” They go on to write, “What often gets lost in those theories is that the 28 pages were based almost entirely on raw, unvetted material that came to the FBI. That material was written up as possible … Continue reading
