I’ve received many remarkable nature photographs over the years, but this photo of a nesting Falcon is perhaps the most remarkable nature shot that I’ve ever seen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Nature is truly breath-taking!  I’ve sent this to most of my older friends — the younger ones probably have never seen a falcon and wouldn’t recognize it.

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby…

Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born.

The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry.   Continue reading “Should children witness childbirth: Here’s your answer.”

The road ahead may soon lead to a digital driver’s license on your mobile phone.

The printed plastic driver’s license has been a standard for decades, acting not just as proof that you can drive but as an ID to verify your age and identity. Getting issued a license is a rite of passage for many a teenager. The license has a status that transcends mere motoring.

Now, just as concert tickets, airline boarding passes, Starbucks loyalty cards and even your wallet are migrating onto your smartphone, your driver’s license seems headed down the same route.   Continue reading “The driver’s license of the future is coming to your smartphone”

In a move sure to draw fire from homeowners, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District wants to ban the sale of all homes with wood-burning fireplaces.

To rent or sell homes, homeowners would have to replace their wood fireplaces with gas ones. The ban would also extend to fireplaces in all new homes.   Continue reading “Bay Area Air Quality Management District Seeking to Ban Wood-Burning Fireplaces”

In recent months, both North Korea and Iran have threatened to launch separate EMP attacks upon the United States. Is such an attack likely? Would a foreign entity dare to launch such an attack given the threats made by Iran and North Korea? However, the emerging information does not suggest that North Korea or Iran will be the perpetrator. They may get the blame for an upcoming false flag attack. However, the real perpetrator are likely to be the forces connected to JH 15 and the drills are providing cover for such an event.  If an attack was launched upon the power grid, what would be the effects? These questions are the subject of this article.   Continue reading “Jade Helm 15 Is a False Flag Takedown of the Power Grid in Order to Quell All Resistance”

It’s difficult to fully digest the full financial impact of the Greek public’s decision to ignore its two long-standing major political players and opt instead for Alex Tsipras and his radical left wing Syriza party.

As with any political change, the true machinations of how this plays out on the markets can only really be known in hindsight. They key problem with Syriza – from an outsider’s point of view, at least – lies in the central disconnect between two of its defining policies. Mr. Tsipras and his party swept to power on a promise of ending austerity and renegotiating the terms of its bailout with the European Union. That, on the face of it, leads Greece out of the euro; but Mr. Tsipras has also promised that his country will remain in the single currency.   Continue reading “Is the euro set for dollar parity?”

You know things are getting bad when your government begins to stick its hand into retirement accounts just so that it can remain solvent for a few more months.

With the debt limit about to come back into full swing at a staggering $18.1 trillion this week, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has undertaken drastic measures to kick the can down the road until later this year.   Continue reading “Washington just dipped into retirement savings to fund itself”

It is time for some outdated, unconstitutional laws to be scrapped. Informally sharing seed with a neighbor who gardens down the street is illegal in multiple states in the US. The penalty for violating this ridiculous law is a fine of up to $7,500 a day. Like so many other senseless laws, this rule needs to be put to rest.

You can’t even give away seeds to someone in your own neighborhood under certain laws. For example, in Minnesota, where seed laws on the books are so laughable that unless you buy an annual permit and submit each lot of seeds for germination testing, you are defying the law. You even have to attach an appropriate label, even if you aren’t sharing the seeds with a local seed sharing library and just want to give them to your daughter-in-law for her new garden.   Continue reading “Patented Life: Sharing Gardening Seeds Illegal in 30% Of US States”

SHTF Plan – by Mac Slavo

Low oil prices are good for America according to President Obama. In fact, he has personally taken credit for the savings you’re experiencing.

In a normal economy lower prices at the pump would certainly help to spur growth in other sectors. The problem, of course, is that the new normal means that oil companies and banks leveraged heavily as prices rose. They assumed, like real estate speculators ahead of the 2008 crash, that the price of oil could only go in one direction. As we’ve seen in recent months, however, oil speculation is exactly that and despite our dependency on black gold the energy industry is not immune from massive price swings.   Continue reading “Pink Slips: 100,000 Jobs Wiped Out Amid Oil Price Collapse: “Spreading Like Cancer””

In some respects the Keystone XL project has been about more than just building a pipeline to carry toxic tar sands oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. The controversial plan also has served as a sleight-of-hand trick for an industry that has quietly built other pipelines in recent years.

In fact, the U.S. system of oil pipelines has grown in size by nearly 25% over the past 10 years, according to the Associated Press. This expansion has resulted in more than 11,600 miles of pipeline being laid, much of it in the western half of the country. Compare that to Keystone, which would stretch only 1,179 miles.   Continue reading “Keystone Pipeline Controversy Distracts Attention from Major Growth of other Oil Pipelines”
