On the heels of yesterday’s news that auto sales blew away expectations in May, posting their largest MoM increase since November 2013 on the back of record numbers across-the-board for financing (including average new car loan terms of 67 months and record high average payments of $488/month), we present the reincarnation of the home equity loan.   Continue reading “Presenting The Next Great Source Of Middle Class Prosperity”

Writing in the Washington Post, Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democratic Senator from Rhode Island, offered a curious suggestion for dealing with global warming skeptics:

In 2006, Judge Gladys Kessler of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia decided that the tobacco companies’ fraudulent campaign amounted to a racketeering enterprise. According to the court: “Defendants coordinated significant aspects of their public relations, scientific, legal, and marketing activity in furtherance of a shared objective — to . . . maximize industry profits by preserving and expanding the market for cigarettes through a scheme to deceive the public.”

Another drone was discovered flying in restricted air space around the White House two weeks ago. The Secret Service found the pilot simply because they happened to see him.

In other words, there is no indication that the Secret Service would have found the pilot if he had not been in plain view. This person didn’t have bad intentions, but one day someone will. A little drone-detection education is in order:   Continue reading “Drone detection: What works and what doesn’t”

Yet the past four years have turned into a nightmare for the family as Emily soon suffered side effects. Only two weeks after her first HPV injection, the teenager experienced dizziness and nausea.   Continue reading “Thousands of teenage girls enduring debilitating illnesses after routine school cancer vaccination”

Swedish fishing instructor Erik Axner spent 20 minutes struggling against a fish he hooked off the coast of Norway, but let his 220-pound catch go once he reeled it in.

Axner, 24, told Swedish daily Aftonbladet he went out to the North Sea one day this spring in a small boat, armed with a specially-modified float he developed himself, with a coalfish mounted on to it as bait, to single-mindedly pursue his “dream fish” – one over 100 kg.   Continue reading “‘It was too big to fit in the boat’: Swedish angler catches giant halibut”

Smithfield Farms, the largest pork producing farm in the USA was sold in September, 2013 to China with the unanimous support of its stockholders!! The hogs will still be raised here, but slaughtered and packaged for sale there before being sent back here. This includes labels of Morrell, Eckrich, Krakus, Cudahy, Premium Hams, Cook’s, and Gwaltney.

The same with many chickens: They can now be shipped there, but when they come back all that needs to be labeled is that they WERE RAISED IN THE USA. Not that they were processed in China!!! Our great FDA at work again. The chickens will be all processed and most sold to fast food restaurants for sandwiches, along with schools and supermarkets. The China slaughter and processing are not nearly equal to the requirements here.    Continue reading “Read your food labels before buying”

Aviation buff John Zimmerman was at a weekly gathering of neighbors Friday night when he noticed something peculiar: a small plane circling a route overhead that didn’t make sense to him.

It was dark, so a sightseeing flight didn’t make sense, and when Zimmerman pulled up more information on an aviation phone app he routinely checks, he had immediate concerns.   Continue reading “Mysterious low-flying plane over Twin Cities raises questions of surveillance”

So many of us oppose GMOs, Big Pharma, pesticides being sprayed on our food, the poisoning of our air, water, soil and earth. We can’t stand the system, but we know we’d be screwed without it if we got sick. This is why discovering the long-lost art of plant medicine is so important. In search of alternatives, we have to rediscover what our ancestors knew so well: that pretty much every tree, bush, flower and herb we see around us can be used to heal various illnesses. These medicines still grow all around us to this day, on every continent on the planet, and learning how to use them is our birthright. Here’s a wonderful quote by one of my personal heroines, the famed herbalist Juliette de Bairacli Levy. She once wrote, with passion and conviction:   Continue reading “Common And Powerful Healing Plants You Can Find In Your Back Garden”
