Changes are coming to our fiat currency.  Andrew Jackson will be replaced on the $20 and both the $5 and $10 will also be reworked, ostensibly in the name of “inclusion” and “diversity,” but also to prevent against “counterfeiting.”  Funny because the United States has been running the printing presses nonstop for the last decade in an attempt to “save the economy.”  Nothing like legal counterfeiting to combat illegal counterfeiting. Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln will still be featured on the face of both the $10 and $5 respectively, but other images will grace the back of both notes. I … Continue reading →

As the person who has been asked to deliver this year’s Murray N. Rothbard address, it seems appropriate to relate my remarks to the person being honored. Although the observations that follow may not have come directly from Murray, he and my speech do have some connection. My pleasurable, often edifying conversations with this remarkable polymath, the letters we exchanged, his book America’s Great Depression and, not least of all, his study of American intervention in the First World War strengthened for me beliefs that I continue to hold. I never truly grasped where we were heading as a country … Continue reading →

Well, I hear tell it’s official: They’re going to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Then supposedly, move the portrait of Andrew “The Architect of the Trail of Tears” Jackson to the flip side, effectively making the proverbial “double-headed coin” of nickel-and-dime bunco scams a reality. But why should we expect less than this from the United States government? I suppose this move will satisfy the need to have chicks on the money. Every progressive will feel swell and celebrate over quinoa crunch and circle the Priuses for an LED “bonfire” and sing-along. Ok, that’s cool and all, but … Continue reading →

In any survival scenario, water is by far your most important resource. You can easily go a day without food, and usually don’t need shelter right away, unless you’re in freezing conditions. Not having any water for 24 hours, however, while survivable, depletes both your physical and mental strength, making it more difficult to perform the tasks necessary to making it out the other side. And after just three days without hydration, your body will shut down, and it’ll be lights out for you. With about two liters per day (technically you only need two quarts, but with the exertion … Continue reading →

Poor President Barack Obama flew to Saudi Arabia this past week but its ruler, King Salman, was too busy to greet him at Riyadh’s airport. This snub was seen across the Arab world as a huge insult and violation of traditional desert hospitality. Obama should have refused to deplane and flown home. Alas, he did not.  Obama went to kow-tow to the new Saudi monarch and his hot-headed son, Crown Prince Muhammed bin Nayef. They are furious that Obama has refused to attack Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Syria’s Assad regime. They are also angry as hornets that the US … Continue reading →

Okay, enough’s enough. Now I’m getting seriously concerned about Ted Cruz’s mental health. Ever since Trump won New York in a landslide and Cruz came away with zero delegates, he’s been talking as though he were the one who came out on top in the Empire State. Cruz keeps railing on and on about winning five states in a row, two (Colorado and Wyoming) of which were states where Republican voters were barred from voting! No problem — zero embarrassment. He brags about his “ground game” and his campaign team’s ability to persuade Republican party hacks … er, I mean, … Continue reading →

Faith, we are reliably informed, is the “substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” The troubled 16-year-old girl from Gloucester, Virginia who calls herself Gavin Grimm, and insists on being treated as if she were a boy, is acting on something other than faith by denying substantive facts that are plain to be seen by fellow high school students who would share bathroom facilities with her. Those students, and the school faculty have unwisely indulged Grimm in her delusion to the extent of providing her – and others who have qualified for the trendy and politically … Continue reading →

Today is Earth Day. This celebration has been going annually on since 1970. The first Earth Day was originally celebrated on March 21, 1970, in San Francisco. It was the brainchild of John McConnell, a peace activist, and ecologist. But then the United Nations picked up the idea. The UN changed Earth Day in 1971 to the vernal equinox. The UN defined this as April 22. Earth Day has become an international phenomenon. It has replaced May Day on the calendar of environmentalists around the world. I guess we can be thankful for small blessings. Since they no longer celebrate … Continue reading →

I got into a debate the other day with a reader about the future of the car hobby; about whether today’s cars are fundamentally disposable appliances that work great for a long time – their chief virtue – but when they do finally begin to wear out, the cost to replace their numerous complex systems (especially the electronics) will be so high that most people will simply throw the car away in favor of a new one. Like cell phones, for instance. Also, that the new stuff’s complexity is a turn-off to tinkering, especially for beginners– the new crop of the old … Continue reading →

Philadelphia-based feminist Camille Paglia won’t be voting for Hillary Clinton in next week’s Pennsylvania primary, even going as far as suggesting something shady is going on with the former secretary of state’s hacking cough. ‘My tentative theory is that Hillary may have sporadic flare-ups of goiter, worsened under stress. Coughing is a symptom,’ Paglia wrote in a column taking down the Clinton candidacy on Salon.com. Clinton has had a noticeable cough throughout the primary season explaining to a New York radio host this week that it was due to ‘allergy season.’ But Paglia didn’t buy it. ‘I’m just a Ph.D., … Continue reading →

Bacteria in your gut might sound like a bad thing but, actually, your gut uses bacteria to process food into energy.[1]We call these helpful bacteria probiotics. Most people have heard the term in yogurt ads, but that’s about it. What are probiotics and what do they mean to your body? It all starts in your gut, the system in your body responsible for digestion. Proper digestion is essential to your health and probiotics are essential to your gut. When bacteria are out of balance, it can cause problems such as: Gas
