Zero Hedge – by Raúl Ilargi Meijer of The Automatic Earth

The Swiss have unleashed a pretty wild storm in financial markets. All sorts of companies and people today are licking their wounds, and quite a few will simply have to fold. It’s no exception to be so leveraged in foreign exchange wagers that a move of a few percent can wipe you out, let alone one of 30%. Leverage makes sure that right off the bat a whole bunch of foreign exchange brokers, including FXCM, the biggest, are literally dead in the water – FXCM stock fell 90% -.   Continue reading “Central Banks Upside Down”

TACOMA, WA — A state bureaucracy is threatening a mother with removal of an infant unless her entire family subjects themselves to flu shots.

This is the dilemma that foster parent Jamie Smith is currently facing. The Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) is giving the Tacoma family until February to comply with the mandated regimen of influenza vaccines — imposed on every member of the family — or else they will lose their youngest child, a 2-week-old foster infant that was born on Christmas.   Continue reading “Agency will confiscate infant if entire family doesn’t get flu shots”

Most of us would like our vehicles to last a long time – and cost us as little money as possible during that time. Here are a few tips toward that end:

* If your vehicle has a manual transmission, the first time you start the car in the morning – especially if it’s a cold morning – select neutral after starting the engine, gently release the clutch and let the car idle for about 30 seconds before driving off.   Continue reading “Keeping It On The Road”

The title of world’s largest solar farm is fleeting with California adding solar capacity in half-gigawatt chunks.

Yet another half-gigawatt solar power project is coming on-line in California.

Late last year, the 550-megawatt capacity Topaz Solar project achieved full commercial operation and claimed the title of largest solar plant on-line in the world.

And now Topaz has to share the crown with First Solar’s 550-megawatt Desert Sunlight project in Riverside, California, which went all-on this month, according to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) website.

Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas, says President Obama’s loyalty to liberal special interests could doom Republican efforts to fund the Department of Homeland Security while blocking funding for Obama’s unilateral action to confer legal status on at least five million people in the nation illegally.

However, Flores said Obama is already taking additional actions to undermine the rule of law and American families before Congress even finishes it defunding efforts.

“I don’t hold out much hope for the president,” Flores said. “He puts the interests of others ahead of the interests of families.”   Continue reading “Slap in the face! Obama taps surprise source to fund amnesty”

It’s rare to sue a federal agency and win statistically speaking. It’s even rarer to win a multi-million dollar settlement from said lawsuit.

However, that’s exactly what Liberty ammunition has done.

“Where are all the good cops?” Critics of police brutality and abuse of power often wonder this – sometimes aloud, often on social media. But there is an answer to that question – it’s not purely rhetorical – the “good cops” are driven out of work by the bad cops.

Far from being “a few bad apples,” Detective Joseph Crystal of the Baltimore Police Department says that he was targeted by other officers for trying to root out corruption.   Continue reading “Cop Files Lawsuit Against Corrupt Department That Told Him ‘If you snitch, your career is done’”
