This is happening at a time when economic data is rebounding, unemployment is below 4% and GDP growth is north of 3%. So what exactly is going on? What does the Fed know that has it so... more »

Serious Question: Marco Rubio Knows EXACTLY What Trump Is-- Why Why Is His Head Still Up Trump's Ass?
You don't usually see major newspapers calling sitting senior senators in their own cities a "reliable sycophant" in an headline.

Such a culture is developed through centuries of civilization. That is why the countries which enjoy a fairly good culture of liberty are generally an offshoot of the long-established civilizations; they have a strong sense of their own history and traditions.

The Health Benefits of Topical Virgin Coconut Oil for Preterm Infants – Studies Show Why You want to Massage Your Newborn Baby with Coconut Oil
Most of us who have reached maturity take our body's largest organ at face value, spending a staggering $300 billion on anti-aging globally and approximately $400 million U.S. dollars yearly on over-the counter acne solutions to put on a pretty face. But for the newest and most vulnerable among us, preterm and full-term infants, healthy skin is critical to their very survival, and here is where researchers think virgin coconut oil may be a major contributor in the fight to lower preterm infant mortality. Complications arising from preterm births are the leading cause of death globa... more »
Leading Obstetrics Journal Recommends Increased Drugs for Pregnant Women While Failing to Disclose Big Pharma Sponsors
The inordinate undisclosed influence brought to bear by drug companies on medical practice is undermining the credibility of recommended medical practice. Case in point: new recommendations for the treatment of pregnant women would increase their ingestion of powerful drugs. Despite lack of adequate evidence of safety from serious risks of harm, the influential National Partnership for Maternal Safety, is promoting expanded indications for initiating treatment for depression and the prevention of thromboembolism (among other conditions) in pregnant women.

Texas Governor Saves Chicken Breast From Gay Hordes
Religious Freedom and Free Speech are of the most important founding principles of this nation and are protected under the First Amendment. But as we all know, the entire first amendment is toxic to the left and in this case deemed hateful and dangerous to the sexual deviants of the State of Texas. But last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in a bold move to protect religious liberty from gay bigots, publicly signed into law *Senate Bill 1978*, nicknamed the "Save Chick-fil-A" bill, that prohibits all government entities in Texas from taking "adverse actions" against any company or i... more »

What Are Garbanzo Beans Good For?
Written by Joseph Mercola, D.O., Ph.D. It’s been around 7,000 years since garbanzo beans (a.k.a. chickpeas) appeared in Middle Eastern regions, but they weren’t cultivated until about 3,000 BC. By the 16th century, Spanish explorers had spread the love of this natural food’s nutty, buttery taste and slightly grainy texture beyond Rome and Greece. Today, […] The post What Are Garbanzo Beans Good For? appeared first on Health Nut News .

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, a magnificent interstellar dust cloud by chance has assumed this recognizable shape. Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is some 1,500 light-years distant, embedded in the vast Orion cloud complex. *Click image for larger size.* About five light-years "tall", the dark cloud is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is visible only because its obscuring dust is silhouetted against the glowing red emission nebula IC 434. Stars are forming within the dark cloud. Contrasting blue reflection nebula NGC 2023, surrounding a hot, young star, is at the low... more »

Chet Raymo, “Angling For Happiness”
*“Angling For Happiness”* by Chet Raymo “There is a concept in physics called angle of repose. Set an object, a book say, on a plank. Now slowly tip up one end of the plank until the moment when the book just starts to slide. The angle between the plank and the horizontal is the angle of repose, where the component of the gravitational force down the plank becomes greater than the maximum friction force holding the book at rest. Or, in more evocative terms - as I write I am lying on the couch with the laptop in my lap, in perfect repose. If you started tipping up the couch, at some... more »

"Know That It Is You..."
“We look at the evil of others because we know evil through our own behavior. We never forgive those who injure us because we believe that we would never be forgiven. We tell painful truth to our neighbor because we want to hide it from ourselves. We show our strength so that no-one can see our fragility. That is why, whenever you are judging your brother, know that it is you who are on trial.” - Okakura Kakuso

"How Congress Prepares for Battle"
*"How Congress Prepares for Battle"* By Bill Bonner "We’ve made three major predictions in this space. Today, we add a fourth one. The Fed will never “normalize” interest rates (at least, not willingly). We were right. The Trump team will never go “Full Retard” in its trade war with China. So far, the trade war is still at half retard. We will see what happens. MMT, or Modern Monetary Theory, as crazy as it is, will become the new humbug creed of both Democrats and Republicans. MMT is gaining ground daily. Both parties are canoodling with it, even if they don’t admit it. And toda... more »

Cold War Crash: The Tale of a Soviet Su-27 Flanker Colliding with a Norwegian P-3 Orion

The dielectric fin cap shattered immediately, but so did the propeller and the debris punctured the fuselage skin, causing decompression; the damaged propeller caused violent vibration, forcing the crew to shut down the engine. * The Sukhoi Des... more »
Mike Pompeo's Human Rights Problem
*Paul R. Pillar* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The obvious backdrop to anything the Trump administration pronounces about human rights is an administration foreign policy that gives short shrift to human rights. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been justly criticized for his creation of a Commission on Unalienable Rights, with the mission of redefining human rights. The move appears designed to base the redefinition on religious doctrine that Pompeo infuses into his conduct of official business. The religious orientation is reflected in the membership of the commission,... more »
Hong Kong Enters China's Danger Zone
*Doug Bandow* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] To Beijing, unruly citizens staging sometimes violent demonstrations on behalf of principles barred in the mainland are a great embarrassment and even a threat. The great game of international chicken that did not occur in the 1980s was the United Kingdom holding a referendum on Hong Kong’s future rather than negotiating with China. Territorial legislators generally opposed the handover to Beijing while London consciously refused to consult the residents. Had Hong Kongers voted for independence or continued UK control, then Deng X... more »
How to Start a War with Iran 101
*Peter Harris* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The tit-for-tat between Washington and Tehran has grown increasingly dangerous on Donald Trump’s watch. The Anglo-American “special relationship” might be at a low ebb, but events in the Persian Gulf have forced the British and U.S. governments to put aside their differences and cooperate against a common threat: Iran. For no matter how unpopular President Donald Trump might be in Britain—the Sir Kim Darroch affair and Trump’s racist attacks on four Democratic congresswomen each drew stinging rebukes from British politicians... more »
China's Chump: Why America Can't Trust Pakistan

Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan hopes that his visit to the White House today will jumpstart relations with the United States after years of tension. Within the U.S. political context, President Donald Trump is a polarizing figure and his political opponents usually blame him exclusively for all ills on the international stage. When it comes to Pakistan, however, they should not. Pakistan’s problems are made in Paki... more »

What Killed Lesson Planning?
Are lesson plans a big fat waste of time? Well, yes, and no. But is something currently killing them? Sadly, yes. *Why Lesson Planning Is Invaluable* I read this piece arguing against them and kind of dismissed it and forgot about it until Nancy Flanagan brought the subject up again (Do you follow Nancy Flanagan regularly? You should). As usual, I agree with most everything she said in defense of lesson planning-- but I think there's another factor that can make lesson plans a waste of blood, sweat and tears. The original piece is, well, bunk. In its six reasons, it starts with th... more »
