I suspect a few of you are looking forward to being robots.

Who wouldn’t be fascinated by the idea of becoming someone other than themselves? We do get so tired of being the same dull soul every day.

What kind of robots will we be? Happily, I can provide an answer. For living inside my head all day have been the words of Google’s director of engineering, Ray Kurzweil.   Continue reading “Google exec: With robots in our brains, we’ll be godlike”

Our community of fellow preppers is always trying to assess the best tools out there for surviving under almost any circumstances, which is why tool reviews and comparisons are some of the most popular features of our website. Unlike what other people think, preppers aren’t constantly stressed about being prepared for disaster striking, and fretting about it. On the contrary: a good prepper or survivalist expert is actually more relaxed about the possibility of bad times coming, precisely because he (or she) has done his (her) homework and knows how to tackle what may be coming.   Continue reading “The Prepper’s Checklist: Pocket Items You Need beyond a Good Knife”

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A judge on Wednesday blocked new nationwide regulations for oil and gas drilling on federal lands from taking effect while a lawsuit moves ahead, pointing to a law that prohibits the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from regulating hydraulic fracturing.

Just because the EPA lacks authority to regulate fracking doesn’t mean the U.S. Bureau of Land Management has leeway to do so, U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl wrote. “In the absence of a statute conferring authority, an administrative agency has none,” he wrote.   Continue reading “Judge blocks federal oil, gas drilling rules pending lawsuit”

Russian warplanes began bombarding Syrian opposition targets in the war-torn nation’s north Wednesday, following a terse meeting at which a Russian general asked Pentagon officials to clear out of Syrian air space and was rebuffed, Fox News has learned.

A U.S. official said Russian airstrikes targeted fighters in the vicinity of Homs, located roughly 60 miles east of a Russian naval facility in Tartus, and were carried out by a “couple” of Russian bombers. The strikes hit targets in Homs and Hama, but there is no presence of ISIS in those areas, a senior U.S. defense official said. These planes are hitting areas where Free Syrian Army and other anti-Assad groups are located, the official said.   Continue reading “Russia launches airstrikes in northern Syria, senior military official says”

Donald Trump told the CBS News program “60 Minutes” last weekend that he had a “humane” way to send illegal immigrants home. Typically, he didn’t offer many details, but he did mention that the prototype for his plan was a successful round-up and deportation of illegal immigrants in the 1950s. There was indeed such a plan, dubbed “Operation Wetback,” and developed by President Eisenhower to address what was then a growing illegal immigration problem. Ike reached back to his West Point days to find a military officer – General Joseph Swing – whom he trusted to implement his draconian plan, which saw more than a million illegal immigrants deported to Mexico in the space of a year.   Continue reading “Risking Liberal Ire, Trump Invokes Operation Wetback As A ‘Humane’ Solution To Illegal Immigration”

An unpaid parking ticket proved fatal for Michigan resident David Stojcevski. A lawsuit alleges that Stojcevski was jailed after not paying a traffic ticket, and then died of drug withdrawal on the concrete floor of a cell at the Macomb County Jail because authorities intentionally withheld medication that could have saved his life.

“He should have had medical attention,” Dr. Frank McGeorge, an expert in custody death cases, told TV station WDIV. “People do not die from withdrawal all the time. They die from withdrawal when there is neglect associated with it.”   Continue reading “A Death Sentence For $772 Unpaid Traffic Ticket?”

Los Angeles, CA — The United States government deliberately hid “the worst nuclear disaster in U.S. history,” according to experts and anin-depth investigation by NBC4 Southern California. Whistleblowers have also come forward to expose the little-known catastrophe, which occurred north of Los Angeles in 1959 and leaked over 300 times the allowable amount of radiation into surrounding neighborhoods. That contamination is now linked to up to a 60% increase in cancer in the area, but the government still refuses to acknowledge its colossal mistake.   Continue reading “The Worst Nuclear Disaster in US History That You’ve Never Heard About”
