The One Thing Health Conscious People Haven’t Been Told About Kerrygold Irish Butter
The popularity of butter has exploded lately as more and more people find out the truth about margarine, and how unhealthy it really is for the body. Margarine is a heavily processed, chemical-based “food” that only gained market share due to the false notion that low-fat diets are the key to health. In comparison, butter has been recognized recently as a healthy source of “good” saturated fats, when it comes from grass-fed cows as opposed to the (usually GMO) grain-fed ones that is. As far as the most popular brands of butter go, the new, unhealthy breed of “conventional” butter ... more »

IF YOU WANT TO STAND UP FOR ANTI-TRUMP INCIVILITY, START WORKING THE REFS
I argued in the last post that being rude to members of the Trump administration might not be the wisest strategy for the left -- not because the Trumpers don't deserve it, but because the political establishment inevitably gets the vapors whenever people on the left violate decorum. This is an obvious double standard -- conservative behavior that's far ruder, and even actively menacing, is depicted as a mere display of healthy animal spirits on the part of salt-of-the-earth Americans with noble dirt under their fingernails. But those are the rules: The right is allowed to get away ... more »

The two triggers are to make the Snake legal for civilian use in the United States, as We Are the Mighty‘s Blake Stilwell noted, citing ATF regulations for machine guns. But it’s easy... more »
3 Weapons Taiwan Would Love to Buy to Defend Itself Against China
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Asia* Thanks to South Korea, India and America. No country is more threatened by China’s growing military and economic power than the island of Taiwan. Beijing has always considered Taiwan a renegade province that it vows to once again control. For most of their history since 1949, however, China did not have the military power to conquer Taiwan by force. Indeed, for many decades Taiwan’s military was qualitatively superior to the mainland’s. Furthermore, even after the United States established diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China,... more »
