Many of us have suggested that the United States is on the verge of a civil war. Folks can’t get along. They’re divided to the point that they literally hate their neighbors based on the bumper sticker on the car from the last election.

Both “sides” seem to think that the other would be easily defeated. Both factions seem to be at a simmering point at which they believe violence has become warranted. Both factions believe they possess some power that would wipe out the other side in a matter of days. It reminds me of that scene from Gone with the Wind when Scarlett is at the barbecue and all the young men run away from the girls in their pretty dresses, confident that they’ll whoop some Yankee butt and be home in a week or two.  Continue reading “The Truth About Modern Civil War in Photographs”

A prominent Oxford philosopher who is known for making terrifying predictions about humanity has a new theory about our future, and it isn’t pretty.

Over 15 years ago, Nick Bostrom, author of Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, made the case that we are all living in a Matrix-like computer simulation run by another civilization.  Continue reading “Global Government and Mass Surveillance May Be Needed to Save Humanity, Expert Says”

Contamination of public water supply systems is a very real threat (Flint, we are looking at you), but unfortunately, bottled water isn’t always safer.

For years, we have known that much of the bottled water on the market is simply tap water that has been purified, poured into bottles with pretty labels, and sold for a hefty price. In other words, you could do the same thing with your faucet and a Big Berkey. Continue reading “Bottled Water Warning: 11 Brands Found to Contain Arsenic”

Scientists seem to be crossing a lot of boundaries as of late, which begs the question: Just because they can do something, does it mean they should?

Advances in brain-related technology are reaching dystopian levels. Scientists recently developed the ability to predict our choices before we are consciously aware of them, and can now translate people’s thoughts into speech. Smart chips that will create super-intelligent humans are in development, and China is mining data from the brains of citizens.  Continue reading “Zombie Science: Researchers Kept the Brains of Decapitated Pigs Alive For 36 Hours”

Anti-gun activists and politicians are doing everything they can to effectively disarm the public.

Already this year, extreme and unconstitutional gun control measures have been proposed at the state and federal levels. There has been a lot of pushback, thankfully: a growing number of counties (and even some states) have declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries and are refusing to enforce gun-control laws that infringe on the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Sheriffs in Washington, Colorado, and New Mexico have publicly stated they will refuse to enforce new gun control legislation – and some are even willing to be jailed for their defiance.  Continue reading “Gun Control Advocates Want Banks to Refuse Service to Gun Companies”

Two hikers were found alive on Wednesday after spending five days lost on a California mountain, and there are things we can learn from their experience.

Gabrielle Wallace, 31, and Eric Desplinter, 33, had not been seen since Saturday when they didn’t return from a hike. Two friends initially set out with them, but turned back because they felt the conditions were too dangerous. When the pair didn’t return that evening, their friends reported them missing.  Continue reading “How the Rules of Hiking (and a LifeStraw) Saved a Pair of Hikers Lost in the Wilderness”

Gastrointestinal upsets are truly miserable, whether they’re caused by shigellosis, food poisoning, or another virus.

One common cause is Shigellosis, a bacterial infection also known as “Montezuma’s revenge” or “traveler’s diarrhea.”  It usually affects people visiting Third World destinations and is caused by drinking water that hasn’t been properly purified. The symptoms are watery or bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and fatigue.  Continue reading “6 Natural Remedies for Vomiting and Diarrhea”

In January I wrote on the abundance of bare shelves in the United States and what might be causing that. During my interviews and research, I realized just how many problems there are in the nation’s shipping industry. At the root of it is government over-regulation, which is causing many people to leave the trucking profession because they can make a more steady income and be at home working even a simple fast food job. It seems that most any trucker I talked to had seen a reduction in wages and were having to work harder under trying conditions.  Continue reading “What Would Life Be Like Without Trucks?

A new gun control bill introduced in the Oregon State Legislature added 45 pages of draconian amendments the night before the vote. SB978 passed the Judiciary Committee yesterday and now heads to the Oregon Senate.

It’s a good thing that some parts of this state have vowed to be 2A sanctuaries because Oregonians are going to need them. If the gun owners – and even pepper spray owners – in other parts of the state hope to defend themselves, they could be facing a vast new array of felony charges.  Continue reading “Oregon’s SB-978 Gun Control Bill Is So Hysterically Restrictive That PEPPER SPRAY Is a Felony”

This weekend, on April 6th, we’re having another Y2K. This one is on GPS devices, as they roll over from “week 1024” to “week 1.”

1. Best case? Nothing happens.
2. Not so great case? If you have a Garmin or a TomTom on which you rely for navigating, you could run into trouble.
3. Worst case? Some experts warn that the power grid, transportation, and the financial system could be affected.

I love the relief I get from using Organica Naturals CBD oil. I sleep better (I’m a chronic insomniac) and find that a dropper full works for me just as well as taking ibuprofen.  But you know what I don’t love?

A robot walks into a bar and takes a seat. The bartender says, “We don’t serve robots.”

The robot replies, “Someday – soon – you will.”

Because the inevitable reality of robot overlords eventually taking over isn’t troubling enough, we now have another reason to be concerned about artificial intelligence. Continue reading “Robots Have No Sense of Humor and Might KILL You Over a Joke”

A woman and her daughter were shopping at a mall in West Virginia when things took a terrible turn. And if the mother had not been armed and willing to use her firearm, there’s no telling how badly this story would have ended.

Here’s what happened.
