Just got back from my caucus… My head is still spinning.
Check in was slow but reasonably controlled. Super-long lines. I’ve never seen turnout like this.
Got my credentials, but no presidential ballot. They said those would be delivered to our caucus room. Continue reading “UTAH CAUCUS: First hand insider report – Incompetence, Manipulation, and Ballot Stuffing!!!”

Natural Blaze – by Brandon Turbeville
Ever since its inception, the FDA’s influence has steadily grown over the products consumed by millions of Americans and over the choices the American people are able to make regarding those products. For many, the FDA stands as America’s gold standard and a voice by which to measure all things regarding food and pharmaceuticals as well as a number of other substances.
For those who value freedom of choice, however, the FDA has come to be viewed as a pariah due to its blatantly obvious attacks on natural supplements, natural food and the health of the people it was allegedly created to protect. Continue reading “5 Most Pervasive Poisons The FDA Has Approved”
Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- My Colleague at Gun Watch, John J. Ray (M.A.; Ph.D.), has published extensively. He has some insight into the recent “study” published in the Lancet:
The major British medical journals are heavily politicized — both Lancet and BMJ. Lancet even criticized the Iraq intervention under George Bush II. When they stick to their knitting — medical research — they do publish some good studies and are prestigious because of that. But the people running the journals are obviously Left-leaning — like most academics — so they can’t help misusing the platform they have to hand in order to promote their Leftist views.

Police arrested an on-duty mailman last week in Crown Heights after he objected to their driving, according to Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. Adams held a press conference on Tuesday afternoon to decry the arrest of Glenn Grays, which took place on the afternoon of March 17th.
Adams recounted that Grays, 27, stepped out of his mail truck on President Street at around 4 p.m. as officers in an unmarked car drove by and nearly clipped him.

The lifestyle of more than 97 percent of Americans cannot be considered “healthy” according to a new study that examined people’s diets, exercise, body fat, as well as whether they smoked. Researchers also found trends based on age, gender, and ethnicity.
A study conducted by Oregon State University in partnership with the University of Mississippi and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga looked at 4,745 people included in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2003 to 2006, and found that only 2.7 percent met a four-part criteria for having a healthy lifestyle.
