A 48-year-German driver died on Thursday when his car hit a barrier on a motorway in the canton of Ticino, southern Switzerland. The car burst into flames and was attended to by Bellinzona firefighters, who say the blaze may have been caused by the Tesla battery.  Continue reading “Tesla bursts into flames after fatal crash in Switzerland”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada for years was the only game in town if you wanted to place a bet on your favorite team. Federal law prohibited sports wagering in most states, leaving sports books in the Nevada’s casinos as the only way to bet legally on football, basketball and other sports.

That all changed Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the 1992 law. But don’t look for the casinos to turn their ballroom-sized sports betting palaces into Keno lounges. In fact, operators in the nation’s gambling mecca have been expecting this day to come and they say they are ready to double down on sports betting.   Continue reading “Casinos: Las Vegas won’t hurt from sports betting decision”

HONOLULU (AP) — Patricia Deter moved from Oregon to Hawaii to be closer to her two daughters, but the Kilauea volcano burned down her home only a month after she bought it. Now Deter and others who have recently lost homes to the lava-spewing mountain are on an urgent quest for answers about insurance, desperate to learn whether their coverage will offer any help after molten rock wiped out most of what they owned.

The eruption has destroyed about two dozen homes in the Leilani Estates subdivision on the Big Island. On Monday, a new fissure spewing lava and toxic gas opened and a crack in the ground that emerged a day earlier sent molten rock crawling toward the ocean, officials said. Nearly 20 fissures have opened since the Kilauea volcano started erupting 12 days ago, and officials warn it may soon have a steam eruption that would shoot boulders and ash miles into the sky.   Continue reading “As lava destroys Hawaii homes, owners ask: Am I covered?”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Trump administration will try to convince a U.S. appeals court Tuesday that it was justified in ending an Obama-era immigration policy that shielded hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from deportation.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will be the first federal appeals court to hear arguments about President Donald Trump’s decision to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.   Continue reading “1st appeals court to weigh Trump’s decision to end DACA”

The Organic Prepper – by Anonymous 411

This article is about how to gather existing knowledge and information for use after TEOTWAWKI. Basically, search Wikipedia.org for the basic articles on the six categories listed below, download the PDF of each related page, and check the footnotes for industry standard reference books that can be purchased or found online. Textbooks, workbooks, and lab manuals will also be needed on each subject.

It is far beyond my resources (and probably that of most of us) to purchase hundreds, if not thousands, of such books, therefore, a non-profit entity should be created to buy and store these books, and much more, in such a way as to survive TEOTWAWKI (Doomsday).  Continue reading “Gathering Existing Information for Use After TEOTWAWKI”

Prepping just doesn’t seem as “crazy” as it used to. It appears that prepping isn’t just for doomsday-fearing, tinfoil hat types anymore. Lots of people have woken up to the fact that the worst can happen, and they’re getting ready for it.

Even, it so happens, rich and famous folks.   Continue reading “These Rich and Famous Preppers Are Coming Out of the Bunker. Do They Know Something We Don’t?”

Update: Today Darzak had his amputation at 8am. The Dr. said it went better than he expected, he was able to close the foot with no skin grafts required and no wound vac needed. I apologized for him having to work on Saturday, but that the vascular surgeon had said his foot was bad and would not wait a week. The Dr. said it was a blessing that he came in earlier than a week, and that he would recover in a lot less time. He may come home early next week!

The Lord’s blessing has been upon this whole incident. We heard the prayer for the day today, and it was just what Darzak needed to hear, about having peace about your circumstances. We do covet prayer for the grieving of the loss of part of his foot.   Continue reading “Just wanted to let you know about Darzak”

It seems like all I have been writing about lately, is how police are using cam-share programs to create city-wide surveillance networks.

When I first heard about ‘Ring’ a smart doorbell with a video camera, I didn’t think much of it.

I mean how could the police state turn what appeared to be an innocuous smart device into another surveillance tool?   Continue reading “Police use spying doorbells to create digital neighborhood watch networks”

A lifetime civil servant peacefully protested against Gina Haspel’s nomination to lead the CIA last week on the floor or the US Senate. US government personnel responded by throwing the 78-year-old man to the ground and forcing his hands behind his back to be handcuffed, dislocating his shoulder in the process.

Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, a decorated intelligence officer who served under seven presidents, was rushed out of the Senate for speaking out of turn as an audience member during Haspel’s confirmation hearing. As a former CIA employee, McGovern seemed intent on letting Congress know he didn’t think it was prudent for someone intimately involved with the CIA’s illegal torture program to be running the agency.

William Stanley Jevons, probably the world’s first mathematical economist, observed that crop yields declined when sunspots were fewer. That makes sense as the sun’s radiance is crucial for raising plants. Piers Corbyn, one of the world’s best weathermen, has been telling us we are entering a mini Ice Age or Grand Solar Minimum where for some reason the sun produces less solar radiance thus cooling ever so slightly our planet. The most famous cooling period in modern history was called the Maunder Minimum which occurred from 1645 to 1715.

If we study the history and the science of these previous Minimums, what can we expect starting as early as 2019 according to Corbyn?   Continue reading “What Can You And Yours Expect In A Grand Solar Minimum”

In response to Israel’s ongoing violent suppression of Palestinian protesters in Gaza, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has recalled his country’s ambassadors to both the US and Israel, accusing Israel of “state terror” and “genocide.”

According to reports, Erdogan is recalling the ambassadors for consultations over Israel’s brutal crackdown on the ongoing March of Return protests in the Gaza Strip, which came to a deadly head Monday as at least 55 Palestinians were killed while protesting the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem.
