The Daily Sheeple – by Claire Bernish

You are not free. In the one nation imperiously touting freedom as a star-spangled guiding principle, you are not free to enjoy a peaceful existence unmolested by armed revenue-reapers of the State — collecting rainwater, selling lemonade, living off-grid, charitably tending the homeless, and even feeding stray animals, all require you pay up, permit up, or license up — or be remanded to a cage for an intellectually insulting period of time.

Yes, apparently, leaving food and water for a small colony of feral cats gives the State sufficient premise to rob a pair of animal good samaritans blind — because, nary an issue exists government couldn’t royally mangle — turning otherwise law-abiding people into paupers and criminals, and souring public trust and sentiment in the process.   Continue reading “Criminalized Freedom: Couple Fined Hundreds, Face Possible Jail, for Feeding Stray Cats”

Wanting a better life for his family than that offered under California’s social and economic policies, a naval reserve officer and father of four moved them to Texas – and he’s offering to help his fellow conservatives who find themselves trapped in a similar onslaught of liberalism.

In Venezuela, protesters are violently clashing with police after what most observers say were “sham” elections giving President Nicholas Maduro almost unlimited power as the socialist country crumbles around him. Paul Chabot of Conservative Move argues that what’s happening in that South American country is the result of an out-of-control government and a widening gulf between the rich and the poor – exactly what he sees happening in California.   Continue reading “Great escape: From liberalism to conservatism”

BERLIN (Reuters) – A medical examination showed a 96-year-old German known as the “bookkeeper of Auschwitz” was fit to start serving his prison sentence, German prosecutors said on Wednesday, but his lawyer said a court should decide whether he was well enough.

Oskar Groening was sentenced to four years in prison in 2015 for his role in the murder of 300,000 people at the Nazi death camp Auschwitz in what was seen as one of the last major Holocaust trials.   Continue reading “German prosecutors say ‘bookkeeper of Auschwitz’ fit for prison”

China steps to the plate and offers a Chinese vision to peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

China’s expressed interest in getting more actively involved in trying to solve the Israeli-Palestinian issue stems from a concern that any explosion in the Middle East could jeopardize its oil and gas supply from the region, Israel’s former ambassador to China Matan Vilna’i said on Tuesday.   Continue reading “China pushing its four-point peace plan”

No choice, hate going into town but had to today, have to get water, eggs and maybe butter. Water store is easy, four five gallon jugs (water in NM is not safe to drink less purified due to old mines, etc) at $1.25 each, that just leaves some gas for the old car and… Walmart. Other stores short of Dollar Tree are too outrageously expensive to shop at, $6-7 a pound for weird looking “beef.” Chicken is usually cheap, only $3-4 a pound, sometimes it drops to $2. Well, the budget got tighter than ever this year, live with my mother and we keep the water, power and internet going, that alone just about zeroes out the meager budget, I work on her place and keep it held together, lots of repairs, etc since she bought it and more to go yet. TV last night (I got the old antenna that came with the place finally turned around and working three years later, not a high priority since we are not TV people, we always just used the internet) had something on the news about how the egg market crashed, eggs are so cheap they are throwing them away to save money, hell they might just give them away! Alright, that works for me! Let’s go to town today and take care of the monthly business and look for those cheap eggs that have been FLOODING the market for over six months.   Continue reading “Had to go to the store today”

Several recent media reports on tight labor markets may have been entirely wrong. New numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest that the construction labor market is not as tight as these news outlets might want us to believe.

According to a report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research by Brian Dew and Kevin Cashman, several figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics seriously bring into question the claim that there is a construction labor shortage. Numerous media reports have stoked this belief, such as a recent report from the Dallas News, which claimed that the lack of available labor is amongst the biggest concerns of homebuilders in the state of Texas.   Continue reading “Reality Check: No Sign of a Construction Labor Shortage”

The Great Recession

With 60% of stocks now being traded by bots that fake each other out in order to create buying opportunities, stock exchanges have lost their connection to the reason markets are created in the first place. The exchanges no longer exist as places for people to buy and sell ownership in a corporation. They exist simply as the neural junctions of a conglomerated machine that plays tricks on itself, and your sole goal is no longer to invest, but to put money in the slot machine that is the quickest trickster.   Continue reading “Machine Mania in the Marketplace: How Computers Came to Own the World”

WEB Notes: In our world doctors are legal drug dealers, I am not talking bad about doctors. If one hits the mark, then it is what it is. If you are offended please reference the tip in this article. How many of you have been prescribed medications you really did not need? How many people do you know that are on 3-5+ medications. Are there no other ways to treat these problems? Of course there are. It starts with your dinner plate.

The United States needs to curb excessive opioid prescribing and improve access to pain management techniques, suggests a new government study.   Continue reading “More Than A Third Of US Adults Prescribed Opioids In 2015”

Those who believe that our own government is perfectly willing to commit an atrocity and then blame it on someone else tend to deny threats when they’re brought up consistently by the media. Let’s take the North Korea nuclear menace, for example.

I’ve been writing about the rising threat from North Korea for a long time and each time I publish a piece about their missile capability or some outrageous offense, it never fails that someone pops up and says, “North Korea doesn’t matter. The government is just making them the bad guy so the US can take military action and the people will support it.”  Continue reading “Here’s Why It Doesn’t Matter If North Korea Is Actually a Nuclear Threat”
