It Could Change With Time, But Trump's Worst Appointment So Far Is Scott Pruitt

The Effectiveness of Quantitative Easing - Not as Advertised
As we are well aware, since the near-collapse of the economy during the Great Recession, the Federal Reserve has implemented a program of unconventional monetary policies, most particularly, quantitative easing.

Physicists send particles of light into the past, prove time travel is possible
It is good to see us progressing on this problem. I actually suspect that it will be solved easily and much sooner than anyone anticipates. The reason i say all that is because i do have reports that could only be of the end of a temporal wormhole and likely come from the near future. The physical nature conformed to my informed expectations and were not identified as such in the reports. These were robust structures as well. Add in the very real expanded presence of UFOs that appear to be popping in and out of time as well and the future is spending a lot of time watching us an... more »
Medieval Irish on the South Atlantic Coast . . . they were refugees!
[image: Medieval Irish on the South Atlantic Coast . . . they were refugees!] This is actually huge. The coastal region of the American SE had been abandoned after a horrendous tsunami in the sixth century. Needless to say the local natives did not attempt to rebuild at all and this opened the door for new comers from Ireland in the late twelfth century. I had associated the presence of deer herding as likely happening during the Bronze Age and assumed more recent activity as merely continuity. This makes that idea unlikely at all. first we learn that deer husbandry was int... more »
