The View From the Far End of the Sofa
Now that the spectacle of the Kavanaugh hearings, Part 2: “Tales From the Yearbook” and the grilling of a Supreme Court Nominee about high school fart jokes are over, it becomes obvious that the Democrats have overplayed their #MeToo hand. In their zeal to derail the nomination of a highly qualified judge, they played to the lowest denominator and seemed swept up in the frenzy of that movement and they may have inadvertently decimated the #MeToo movement. In its original incarnation, it was a movement about sexual assault and violence. In its current incarnation, it has morphed into... more »
Tell Congress to say NO to Space-Based Weapons
Members of Congress are currently resurrecting unworkable, dangerous, and costly proposals to build space-based weapons. If they succeed, the world will be less safe. Other countries will likely build their own space weapons, spurring an arms race in space that would pose a significant threat to satellites that the world relies on for communication, navigation, environmental monitoring, and a host of global needs. Union of Concerned Scientists helped stop this dangerous idea back in the 80's, and we can do it again now--but we need your help! Urge your members of Congress to oppos... more »

*"The Greater Cause:* *Some Good Reasons for Doing Good"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM "Imagine what a different world we would live in, if we all worked toward the greater good. With all that takes place in our lives, it can sometimes be easy to overlook the fact that we're part of something greater than ourselves--a collective consciousness, the Universe, a greater cause.

Indiana High Court Accuses CPS of “Significant Violations of Due Process in Termination of Parental Rights”
Cracks are starting to be exposed in the foundation of the state-sponsored child kidnapping structure of Child "Protective" Services. Parents who have been fighting the system for their children have seen these gaping flaws all along, but for decades anyone with power to change it has turned a blind eye to their plight. Finally, it appears that the higher courts in one state are beginning to recognize that the system is, indeed, violating parental rights with alarming frequency. Appellate judges from the Indiana Court of Appeals recently sent a strong rebuke to the Department of Chi... more »

For decades, the voices of injury victims have been drowned out by the constant refrain in the mainstream media that these shots are “proven safe,” despite these outlets’ failure to adequately report on the widespread harm being caused (nearly $4 billion in injury payments since 1986).

I have to admit that I got momentarily hopeful during Brett Kavanaugh's meltdown before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday afternoon. Despite his denials, it was supremely obvious that this middle-aged preppie had watched Christine Blasey Ford's testimony against him that morning.

The House Judiciary Committee
Let's assume that Judge Kavanaugh is confirmed. (Not that I have any inside information on that.) If Democrats win control of the House of Representatives in November, there will surely be pressure brought to bear for the House Judiciary Committee to initiate an impeachment inquiry and, in effect, do the additional investigation that the Senate Judiciary Committee is not going to do. In that inquiry, I would assume that then-Justice Kavanaugh would be subpoenaed. There is, as far as I can tell, no precedent for a Supreme Court Justice to be subpoenaed by a congressional committee. ... more »

Upset At Work? Don't Walk Out Or They'll Claim You Quit
I see scenarios where employees leave work early for entirely sane reasons. For instance: - They are threatened by a coworker or customer and feel unsafe - They are so upset by a confrontation with management or a coworker that they are crying - They are sexually harassed - They are called racial, ethnic, or other discriminatory names Yet in each of these circumstances, I also see employers claim the employee quit or abandoned their position. Why the disparity? As I see it, the employer was looking for reason to get rid of the employee and the employee gave them the ... more »

On The Art of NOT Reading

My bookrack is a boring place, it is free of bestsellers, but I like it that way. I am in agreement with the view *on the art of not reading* that Arthur Schopenhauer offers in his popular essay, “On Books and Writing,” (*Arthur Schopenhauer: Essays and Aphorisms*; Edited by R. J.

Implanting false memories is no great trick and this is easily linked into real memories as well and has been practiced effectively by the CIA. In fact i suspect this was the plan to originally eliminate JFK jr that was thwarted by JFK jr faking the whole scenario and exiting the stage. Two months later, the planned assas... more »
What Is Fasting? A Guide to the Different Types of Fasts
All fasting demands planing and particularly so if you are diabetic. My personal approach evolved into fasting on Monday Wednesday and Friday for at least 18 hours. This allows your small intestine to void and then rest for at least twelve hours, thus eliminating a day and one half from your normal food intake. Considering that we naturally consume nine days of food every week and that this supports an inevitable thirty percent excess fat base, losing that day and one half allows the body to approach your proper natural weight. In my case i dropped from 230 pound range to th... more »
Doctors Against Vaccines – Hear From Those Who Have Done the Research
The Vaccination Meme was cobbled together over a century ago. It has since been advanced everywhere against a host of potential diseases with limited improvement in the underlying science and certainly without going back to see just what the results really are. What is clear though is that scientific challenge is viciously suppressed and no one is allowed to ask questions even when the met stats are glaring. We now not only have a rising epidemic of autism, we also have weakened health among children that should not be happening at all. This is not from an infectious disea... more »
Oldest-known beer is a 13,000-year-old vintage
It says a lot to know that they were processing grains at all. wild grains are difficult to collect in terms of volume and it suggests that alternatives were not available. Soaking them will cause changes that can make them consumable and fermentation does the same. We are converting something indigestible into a food. A fermented gruel could work. I wonder just how many wild grains can be treated this way? Grinding it all removes the silica ladened shells and frees the proteins and starches. Soaking and fermentation can produce a useful gruel that can then be cooked a... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Dear Not So Dear Brett Kavanaugh, If you are the accused and you refuse to take a lie detector test and refuse to call for the FBI to investigate the new developments in your situation, and your accusers ask that they themselves be investigated and given the test... you just might be a guilty asshole. If your supporters are playing hide the documents (evidence) and trying to ram you through the approval process before even more information comes out... you might just be a guilty asshole. If you need 65 or more character witnesses to persuade people that you are an OK g... more »
Corruption: CSIS Spying on Pipeline Protesters - Feds Try to Pull Cloak of Secrecy Over Court Case
*Anti-Pipeline Demonstration Sign* While the Mainstream Media is obsessed with the Travesty of Justice going on in our neighbour to the south, USrael, over the Senate Confirmation hearings to approve Trump's nomination, Brett Kavanaugh for the USSC, I have been pondering the general malaise in the justice systems throughout the West.

Can Jeff Merkley Stop The GOP Drive To Confirm Kavanaugh?
*Jeff Merkley-- doing something to stop it* I hate writing about Kavanaugh and I'm so glad Noah does every night at midnight. Instead I want to say something about one of my favorite U.S. senators, Jeff Merkley (D-OR). But first a couple of Kavanaugh quickies.

She was a victim of gang rape at one of those parties. And, she's willing to testify tha... more »

"Get Out While You Can"
*"Get Out While You Can"* by Llpoh "I am currently stateside. It has been a few years, and I had to take care of some business. My wife and I have revisited some of our favorite spots, and caught up with some family. We have driven through some of God’s finest works. There is no more beautiful landscape anywhere on earth than the west coast, Route 66, southern Colorado, the Badlands, etc. That said, I say this most sincerely, and with great sorrow. Those of you who can, get out now. What I have seen leads me to depression, and there is no road back for the US, in my opinion. The b... more »
