Is this supposed to be his legacy? Saving Africans from malaria with a vaccine? (You know, instead of causing tens of thousands of Indian children to get non-polio paralysis with botched polio vaccines in a country where polio has supposedly been eradicated anyway?)

If so, Bill and his billions are doing a pretty crappy job at it.   Continue reading “Eugenicist Bill Gates’ Crappy Malaria Vaccine Is Admittedly Only 4% Effective”

Recoverable oil reserves in the United States now tops that of both Russia and Saudi Arabia, according to an evaluation by a Norway-based independent oil and gas data firm.

Rystad Energy analyzed reserves around the world, distinguishing between those “in existing fields, in new projects and potential reserves in recent discoveries and even in yet undiscovered fields.” The firm determined that the US has about 264 billion barrels, narrowly besting Russia’s 256 billion and Saudi Arabia’s 212 billion.   Continue reading “US oil reserves top Russia, Saudi Arabia – study”

Wet and foggy weather dampened America’s traditional Independence Day fireworks in Washington, DC, on Monday, but millions watching the public television broadcast might have thought everything was fine after old footage was shown instead.

‘A Capitol Fourth’ is a DC tradition going back 36 years. Every Fourth of July, the Public Broadcasting System shows the fireworks display in the nation’s capital from the West Lawn of the US Capitol building. This year, PBS producers apparently decided the mercurial Washington weather wouldn’t be allowed to rain on their parade. After all, who would know?   Continue reading “Oops: PBS gets around rainy Fourth with fake fireworks footage”

BALTIMORE (AP) — There will be no trial by jury for the highest-ranking police officer charged in the death of a young black man whose broken neck inside a police van caused civil unrest in Baltimore.

Lt. Brian Rice has chosen to be tried instead by a judge, his lawyers said Tuesday — the same one who already acquitted two fellow officers in Freddie Gray’s death. Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams denied a defense motion to dismiss the case against Rice, whose trial begins Thursday on charges of manslaughter, assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office.   Continue reading “No jury for Baltimore officer charged in Freddie Gray death”

A new study by researchers from Denmark and the United Kingdom, who have studied antidepressant drugs and their effects, have found that the drugs indeed push people to commit suicide, especially children.

The study is said to be the biggest ever to have been conducted on antidepressant drugs. The British Medical Journal has endorsed the findings of the study in its editorial column.   Continue reading “Biggest Ever Study Confirms Antidepressant Drugs Raise Risk Of Suicide”

That seems to be the opinion of the majority of reader-comments at reddit.

In response to an article that presented six U.S. criminal laws which clearly describe the most basic aspect of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email operation, and some of which U.S. laws specify up to 20 years imprisonment for it, the overwhelming opinion of commenters at reddit has been that if the FBI doesn’t recommend that the case regarding Clinton be pursued in court, then she should be (for all intents and purposes) considered and treated by voters to be innocent in the matter.   Continue reading ““If the FBI doesn’t recommend charges, then she [Clinton] didn’t break any law.””

A Turkish vessel laden with tons of aid and traveling under Panamanian ensign has set off for the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip, days after the Turkish president criticized a similar but non-government-sanctioned trip by another aid convoy that brought public Turkish-Israeli ties to an end.

Lady Leyla, as the vessel is named, set sail for the Palestinian territory on Friday, Hürriyet reported.   Continue reading “Turkey government officials see off Gaza-bound aid ship after Israel deal”

FBI Director James Comey said today that the agency is not recommending any charges be pressed against Hillary Clinton as a result of the investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.

“Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” Comey said.   Continue reading “FBI Recommends No Charges Should Be Filed Against Hillary Clinton”

Civil law. This term is used principally in the civil law; it is defined to be a right which a creditor has over a thing belonging to another, and which consists in the power to cause it to be sold, in order to be paid his claim out of the proceeds. There are two species of hypothecation, one called pledge, pignus, and, the other properly denominated hypothecation. Pledge is that species of hypothecation which is contracted by the delivery of the debtor to the creditor, of the thing hypothecated. Hypothecation, properly so called, is that which is contracted without delivery of the thing hypothecated. 2 Bell’s Com. 25, 5th ed. Bouvier’s Law Dictionary, 6th Ed. (C.&P. 1856);   Continue reading “Hypothecation”

It has been theoretically demonstrated and seen in general practice that a monetary system of 100% metallic money devoid of central banking checks monetary inflation, prevents a general rise in the price level, and eliminates the dreaded business cycle while making all sorts of monetary mischief nearly impossible.  A gold standard is not only economically superior to any paper money scheme, but is morally just, which is why it is hated by the politically well-connected, academics, politicians, and the rest of the Establishment.   Continue reading “The Gold Standard: Friend of the Middle Class”

Waiting on a routine flight from Sacramento back to Santa Barbara, Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., discovered he was a terrorist. Or at least that’s what the FBI thought.

McClintock was clearly more of a frequent flyer than radical extremist. But a classic case of mistaken identity, not ties to terrorism, landed him on the FBI’s no-fly list.

A well-known state senator at the time, McClintock was left stranded at the Sacramento International Airport about 10 years ago. He couldn’t fly home under his own name.   Continue reading “FBI Flagged This Congressman as a Terrorist. Here’s Why He Opposes a New Gun Ban.”

During a campaign stop Monday at the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial on the North Shore, U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey said the June 12 mass shooting in Orlando, Fla., showed that “we are a nation at war” — and he called on his Democratic challenger, Katie McGinty, to join him in arming police to fight it.

Mr. Toomey, a Republican, touted his bid to restore the “1033 program,” which allows local police to obtain mothballed military equipment at no or low cost. Police have used the three-decade-old program to obtain everything from sidearms and camouflage to grenade launchers and armored vehicles.   Continue reading “Sen. Pat Toomey seeks military equipment for police”

Police in South Dakota are collecting urine samples from uncooperative suspects through the use of force and catheters, a procedure the state’s top prosecutor says is legal but is criticized by others as unnecessarily invasive and a potential constitutional violation.

The practice isn’t new, according to attorneys, but it’s been brought to light in a recent case in Pierre. An attorney for a man charged with felony drug ingestion is asking a judge to throw out evidence from an involuntary urine sample, saying it violated his client’s constitutional rights.   Continue reading “Police use catheters, force to collect urine samples”
