Product Review: Delicious, High Antioxidant Organic Currant Products From the Viberi Company of New Zealand

Recently, I had the opportunity to try an organic black currant product from the company Viberi, based out of New Zealand — and it’s qu... read more

Like Junk Food? Blame The Mouse Amygdala
Neuroscience is still in its infancy, despite claims by people using fMRI to suggest links between lots of things, but a few things are established, like that fear 'resides' in the amygdala. Linking that same part of the brain to obesity in mice, and therefore humans, in a new paper warrants more skepticism. Mice are, as famously stated when science was science, not tiny people. We do have things in common with mice, just like we share 60% of our DNA with bananas, but no one suggests their study on bananas has 'implications' for humans the way every trial lawyer running a grift and ... read more

John Nantz: Joe Biden is a pathological liar. That’s easy to prove. Just about every public statement that he’s made is an outright lie.

He’s lied repeatedly, boldly about Hunter’s corrupt business dealings, and his intimate relationship to them. He’s spent 47 years stacking lie upon lie, building a colossal monument to his depravity and to the public’s gullibility. Biden lied about COVID, the efficacy of the “vaccine,” the necessity of lockdowns,... read more
