Nato is to beef up its posture towards Moscow after condemning a“troubling escalation” in Russia’s air campaign in Syria, provocative Russian incursions into Turkish airspace and the continued menacing of the Baltic states, defence ministers said on Thursday night.

Jens Stoltenberg, the Nato secretary-general, said that the organisation intended to “send a clear message” to show that the world’s most powerful military alliance was prepared to act in defence of its citizens. “Nato will defend you, Nato is on the ground, Nato is ready,” he said.

Yosemite Sam is surely proud of Florida state Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) for his efforts to pass an “open-carry” gun bill.

Gaetz’s sponsored bill has already cleared the first hurdle of getting past the first House committee to arguments in favor and against the bill, allowing the measure to be presented on the floor for a vote that much more likely.   Continue reading “Open-Carry In Florida Could Become A Reality In 2016”

It is being reported that exercise pills are currently under development to save all the lazy couch potatoes from having to actually get up off the couch and stop watching Dancing with the Stars and football long enough to maintain circulation to a degree that they don’t appear dead to onlookers.

Pills going through animal trials as we speak are set to attempt to mimic physical activity. Things like burning fat, forming new blood vessels, reinvigorating old cells and enhancing muscle fibers.   Continue reading “Coming Soon from Big Pharma, Straight to Your Lazy Butt: “The World Needs Exercise Pills””

Kunduz, Afghanistan — After relentlessly bombing a civilian hospital staffed by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF — Doctors Without Borders) in Kunduz, Northern Afghanistan, the U.S. military did the only thing truly befitting American government — it tried to get away with it.

Saturday’s initial summary involved U.S. troops taking on fire in Kunduz, but — according to officials that day — they had no idea if they’d hit the hospital or not.   Continue reading “Doctors Without Borders Bombing: U.S. Changes Story Four Times in Four Days”

ROSEBURG, Ore. — A week has passed since J. J. Vicari huddled underneath a desk while gunshots exploded in the classroom next door. Now he is thinking about guns. Not about tightening gun laws, as President Obama urged after nine people were killed at the community college here. But about buying one for himself.

“It’s opened my eyes,” said Mr. Vicari, 19. “I want to have a gun in the house to protect myself, to protect the people I’m with. I’m sure I’ll have a normal life and never have to go through anything like this, but I want to be sure.”   Continue reading “Common Response After Killings in Oregon: ‘I Want to Have a Gun’”

The middle class destruction train is moving full steam ahead if we are to examine Census figures closely.  And the American male has a first-class ticket on this express train to wage destruction.  According to the recently released Census figures full-time working males are earning less than they did in 1973 adjusting for inflation.  Purchasing power matters greatly even though there is this ongoing narrative that we are experiencing very little inflation.  Has anyone taken a look at housing costs, healthcare costs, or even college tuition?  The problem at the core of this salary stagnation is that productivity gains are simply not trickling down to the typical worker.  The Great Recession largely smashed male employment.  Males lost 3 out of 4 jobs in the Great Recession.  The financial crisis impacted everyone, male and female, but there is some interesting data to be examined from the figures for full-time working males.   Continue reading “Wage Apocalypse for the American man: Typical male worker earned less in 2014 than in 1973.”
