(NaturalNews) Spices are widely used for increased health and well-being. Young adults, the elderly and anyone who is looking to find a healthier way of living can benefit from using spices when they cook meals. Just adding a few tasty spices to a meal is all that it takes. For those who are not likely to cook, or even learn, this information can still be helpful, as they can give suggestions to others in the home who are more likely to cook.   Continue reading “10 Healing herbs and spices for optimum health”

We are in the woods.  We have to drive three miles from our camp to pick up our wi-fi.  We will be here until Friday and will only be coming out a couple of times a day to put up articles.  Please be patient.

We will be putting up pictures of the project tomorrow.

If you have been searching for jobs these past six months or so, you’ve probably noticed an increasing amount of “Work at Home” jobs in the service sector. These are the kind of customer service and sales jobs that you would normally do at a call center, but now the companies are allowing you the ability to work at home on your own computer “for your convenience”.

It sounds great, as you don’t have to beat traffic to go to work, don’t have to put make-up on or dress appropriately, and you might even get in a few of your favorite shows here and there without anyone noticing between calls or even listen to your favorite music downloaded on your computer. What more can anyone ask for, right?   Continue reading ““Work at Home” Jobs and their Negative Impact on Future Job Growth”

A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say.

In spite of the threat, several former camp workers broke their confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details with me about the dangerous conditions at the camp. They said taxpayers deserve to know about the contagious diseases and the risks the children pose to Americans. I have agreed to not to disclose their identities because they fear retaliation and prosecution.  Continue reading “Medical staff warned: Keep your mouths shut about illegal immigrants or face arrest”

SHILOH, Ohio (AP) – Visitors from around the world to two upcoming events in Ohio’s Amish country could come away with more than they bargained for, health officials fear – a case of measles from the nation’s largest outbreak in two decades.

The outbreak, with more than 360 cases, started after Amish travelers to the Philippines contracted measles this year and returned home to rural Knox County, where it spread thanks to a lower rate of vaccination among the Amish and the difficulty public health authorities had in getting the word out to largely rural communities where phones are few and the Internet is nonexistent.   Continue reading “Measles outbreak complicates 2 big Amish events”

“By every economic measure, we are better off now than we were when I took office. You wouldn’t know it, but we are,” the president said Friday.

That’s right, the president — the president of the United States, mind you — says Americans are better off, they just don’t know it.

That is the height to which the president has raised his level of mendacity. He has the sheer audacity to tell Americans that he has successfully turned the economy around, that things are all good, but that there are no real quantifiable indicators by which they could ever know that.   Continue reading “Obama: “We Are Better Off Now Than We Were When I Took Office””

Bearing Arms – by Bob Owens

According to family lore, three Owens brothers from Wales left their home country, spent a brief amount of time in Ireland, and then immigrated to the United States in the 1850s, landing in Philadelphia. At least one of the three brothers moved to North Carolina, and when the War of Northern Aggression broke out, my ancestors—like so many families—fought wearing both the blue and the grey.

During that horrible conflict, the Confederate States of America were arguably better led and better fighters, killing roughly 105,000 more Union soldiers and generating 138,000 more casualties.   Continue reading “Firearms Producers Move South As Northern States Infringe Upon Liberty”

Israeli jets and helicopters launched dozens of air strikes across theGaza Strip overnight on Monday, just hours after the bodies of three abducted Israeli teenagers were found in a shallow grave near the southern West Bank city of Hebron.

The air strikes, ostensibly in response to an ongoing barrage of rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel, came after the Israeli prime minister,Binyamin Netanyahu, vowed the militant Islamist group Hamas, blamed by Israel for the kidnapping, would “pay a heavy price”.   Continue reading “Israeli jets pound Gaza as Netanyahu blames Hamas for teenagers’ deaths”

The average American child is 13 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than are children in other industrialized countries, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. And that’s after the gun homicide rate in the United States went down 49 percent since its 1993 peak, paralleling a general decline in violent crime, as illustrated by a Pew Research Center analysis of government data.

More than 900 children in the U.S. die in homicides each year, the majority of whom (51 percent) are shot by a relative, according to an NBC News analysis of 25 years of homicide reports. The most recent analysis of U.S. homicide rates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that firearms were the cause of 11,078 deaths out of 16,259 homicides recorded in 2010.   Continue reading “Propaganda Alert: Doctors’ Role in Stopping Gun Violence”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama defiantly dared congressional Republicans on Tuesday to try to block his efforts to act on his own and bypass a divided Congress that has thwarted his policy initiatives.

“So sue me,” he taunted on a sweltering day, as he pushed lawmakers to pay for road and bridge repairs. “I’m not going to apologize for trying to do something.”

Obama struck an aggressive tone in the face of a lawsuit threat from House Speaker John Boehner and in the wake of two defeats before the Supreme Court, including a unanimous decision from the court that he overreached when he appointed members of the National Labor Relations Board while the Senate was in recess.   Continue reading “Obama vows to act alone, taunts RepublicansJIM KUHNHENN”

If you want to name your baby girl Harriet, don’t live in Iceland.

The country recently denied 10-year-old Harriet Cardew’s passport renewal request because her name doesn’t comply with Icelandic baby naming laws. Her name doesn’t appear on the approved list of 1,853 female and 1,712 boy names, The Guardian reports.   Continue reading “10-Year-Old Icelandic Girl Denied A Passport Because Her Name Is ‘Harriet’”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Throughout California’s desperately dry interior, those with water to spare are cashing in.

As a third dry summer forces farmers to fallow fields and lay off workers, three water districts in the state’s agricultural heartland are making millions of dollars by auctioning off their private, underground caches.   Continue reading “In dry California, water fetching record prices”

Paul Craig Roberts in an interview with King World News said the US economy is nowhere near the $17 trillion GDP the administration is claiming. He said the government has been lying about inflation and unemployment since 1980. In particular he criticized Michael Boskin who headed the Congressional Advisory Commission on the Consumer Price Index better known as the Boskin Commission in 1995. Boskin had been a Republican appointee but was an acceptable Chairman to Clinton supporters. He supported NAFTA which has since its passage sent more than 12 million jobs overseas. He serves on the Board of Directors of Exxon and Vodafone which might explain why he was so trusted by Washington to do what they wanted.   Continue reading “Reflecting On Paul Craig Roberts: What If The US GDP Was Only $12 Trillion?”

Just a few days ago, Radley Balko wrote as follows:

The American Civil Liberties Union has released the results of its year-long study of police militarization. The study looked at 800 deployments of SWAT teams among 20 local, state and federal police agencies in 2011-2012. Among the notable findings:

• 62 percent of the SWAT raids surveyed were to conduct searches for drugs.
• Just under 80 percent were to serve a search warrant, meaning eight in 10 SWAT raids were not initiated to apprehend a school shooter, hostage taker, or escaped felon (the common justification for these tactics), but to investigate someone still only suspected of committing a crime.

Has anyone noticed how it is the same “outraged” activists working on “Water Justice” who are taking the threatened water cutoff service for Detroit customers 60 days overdue in payment or more than $150 behind in their water bill payments to the Detroit Water and Sewage Department (DWSD) to the ubiquitous United Nations, are the same UN activists who have been in charge of water ‘equality’ for years?

In 2008, the UN’s “senior advisor on water”  was a Canadian hardline leftist activist by the name of Maude Barlow, the one and the same co-founder of the Blue Planet project, now—at least ostensibly—fighting DWSD on the water cutoff threats to residents of Detroit.   Continue reading “It’s time for the thirsting masses to toss leftwing activism from the world water supply”
