She Puts an Organic Apple and a Conventional Apple in Boiling Water. What Happens Next Just Might Surprise YouIn recent years, many videos have popped up online showing strange coating coming off produce such as apples, with everyone questioning: what is it? While it would be impossible to know what covers specific samples without testing them, there are many coatings that can be found on fruits and vegetables, some are natural, some are man-made and potentially harmful to human health. The man-made coatings are unfortunately becoming more popular, so chances are, if you have never bought a coated vegetable or fruit (even organic!) you might soon.

Climate Change: Alarmists and Deniers
I always strive to avoid extremists on either side of the spectrum. Some people are divided into deluded political camps referred to as Climate Alarmists and Climate Deniers. I am neither. We all know that pollution is bad. We also know that zero CO2 emissions is unrealistic. Human beings exhale CO2 and trees need CO2 to survive. That is the ecosystem in which we live. Climate change deniers oppose the absurd agenda behind climate change alarmists that want to use Climate Change as an excuse to implement Communism under the guise of Globalism. That is bat sh*t crazy. We all know ... read more

"There Comes A Time...""We Americans have a saying: It's more important what you stand for than who you stand with. I do not rely upon peer opinion to decide what is right and what is wrong. I make those decisions for myself, and even if I discover that every other human alive chose differently, that doesn't mean I was wrong. There comes a time in every mans life when he has to choose sides. I have chosen my side. I am comfortable with my decision. I do not think everyone on my side is a saint, but I know that those on the other side are much, much worse. Sometimes a man with too broad a perspective rev... read more

On the Sintashta-Arkaim CultureAn eastward migration from the Poltavka culture (an outgrowth of the Yamnaya culture) gave rise to the Sintashta-Arkaim culture during the Middle Bronze Age (2100 BC to 1800 BC). This culture was located east of the Ural Mountains in the northern steppes. The archeological evidence seems to indicate that the Sintashta were highly militaristic—they created extensively fortified settlements, 23 of which have been found. The weapons found on their sites include spearheads, trilobed arrowheads, chisels, and large shaft-hole axes, It is not known why the Sintashta created such fortified... read more

Death From Above: Lasers in Space are a Game-changer*Steve Weintz* *Star Wars, Untied States, Outer Space* Reagan made a secret decision to go ahead with an all-up Star Wars experiment as soon as possible. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Chemical lasers lost their appeal in the face of potentially more powerful nuclear X-ray lasers, free-electron lasers and particle beams. From the moment he announced it on national television in March 1983, President Ronald Reagan's signature vision of a space-based ballistic-missile shield provoked excitement and incredulity.

China's Phony Island-Building Might Not Work*Kris Osborn* *South China Sea, Asia* The U.N. and China don't see eye to eye on the issue. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *However, according to the U.N. treaty, 12 miles of water off the shore of an artificial structure—something which does not meet the definition of an island—would not be regarded as an extension of a country's territory, Pentagon officials told The National Interest in a background discussion on the topic.
