Do you really want to know why America is the land of cancer, heart attacks, diabetes, and dementia, when most other developed country’s statistics for those preventable diseases pale in comparison? You can save yourself and your family from these nightmare blood and cell “disorders” starting today, well that is, if you only know the hidden history, because somewhere in there lives the “medicine” of longevity, and it all comes from nature, not a laboratory.  Continue reading “Every decade for the past 100 years, American scientists have invented new ways to fuel the chronic SICK CARE industry”

In April, Amazon launched a website that allowed truckers to take jobs driving Amazon packages in Prime-branded trailers across the country. Scott Leckliter, an Iowa-based independent trucker, checked it out.

On Thursday, the United States came perilously close to a military confrontation with Iran after it downed a U.S. drone that may or may not have entered the country’s air space. President Donald Trump reportedly ordered a retaliatory military strike on Iran but called it off, according to Trump’s own tweets on Friday morning, because a general told him that “150 people” might die in the strike.  Continue reading “Trump Has A $259 Million Reason To Bomb Iran”

The US drone that Iran shot down over the Strait of Hormuz last week is an RQ-4A Global Hawk, a $220 million surveillance monster in the sky, Wired reported. According to Iran, the Northrup Grumman-made Global Hawk – which is part of a multibillion-dollar program that dates back to 2001 – entered their air space and crashed into Iranian waters. The U.S. insists that the drone was flying in international airspace.  Continue reading “The Drone Iran Shot Down Is A Quarter Billion Dollar Surveillance Monster”

Pain is, sadly, one of the signs of life. However, this does not change the fact that it is still an unwanted occurrence, no matter if it comes from a trivial source or something very serious. In either of these alternatives and everything in between, any person desires to have something that can resolve that pain. Today, the modern pharmaceutical industry created numerous options for the same purpose, but anyone who is of a prepper and survival mentality knows that these are not reliable tools in an emergency.  Continue reading “Natural Painkillers: Best Plants for Pain Relief ( Powerful Plants That Kill Pain Fast )”

Mexico City (AFP) – Mexico has deployed nearly 15,000 soldiers and National Guardsmen to its border with the United States, the army chief said Monday — admitting they are detaining migrants who try to cross, after the policy triggered backlash.

Under pressure from US President Donald Trump to slow the surge of Central Americans crossing the border, Mexico promised earlier this month to reinforce its southern border with 6,000 National Guardsmen, but had not previously disclosed the extent of the crackdown on its northern border.  Continue reading “Mexico deploys 15,000 troops to US border to slow migration”

U.S. District Judge Cathy Bencivengo issued a temporary order to stop the Del Mar Fair Board from enforcing a recently enacted moratorium on gun shows at the fairgrounds. Continue reading “Judge sides with 1st Amendment after gun shows banned”

The Great Recession

The S&P 500 is up 18% and powering toward its biggest first half since 1997. For bulls, things are great. Will they get any better? To a handful of cross-asset strategists who turned skeptical on stocks before this week’s manic sessions, that’s becoming the most pressing question. Increasingly, their answer is: not likely.However spectacular the real-time reaction … gestures like Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s dovish pivot don’t engender confidence for the long term, says Sophie Huynh, a cross-asset strategist at Societe Generale in London. They ring more as a warning, she says, perhaps marking the beginning of the end to economic and market cycles that have lasted a decade.

Denver, CO — In a likely move to bolster the city’s bottom line, Denver Park Rangers are stepping up efforts to catch people speeding. No, they aren’t going after cars driving on the road, they are going after bicycles who are driving on the designated bicycle path.

Throughout parks in the city, the set speed limit for riding a bicycle is apparently 15 miles per hour. Rangers have setup speed traps around parks, using radar guns to clock people on bicycles who would dare cross that threshold.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has struck down a section of federal law that prevented officials from registering trademarks seen as scandalous or immoral, handing a victory Monday to California fashion brand FUCT.

The high court ruled that the century-old provision is an unconstitutional restriction on speech. Between 2005 and 2015, the United States Patent and Trademark Office ultimately refused about 150 trademark applications a year as a result of the provision.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch sided with the court’s four liberals on Monday in striking down a federal law that imposes stiff criminal sentences for those convicted of certain crimes involving firearms.

In the 5-4 ruling, with Gorsuch’s fellow conservatives in dissent, the court ruled that the federal law in question was written too vaguely and therefore violated the U.S. Constitution. Gorsuch was appointed to the court by President Donald Trump in 2017. Continue reading “U.S. Supreme Court strikes down stiff firearms penalties”
