Why the consumer supply chain is disrupted at present
The Last Refuge recently published an article analyzing why we're experiencing shortages of certain goods, and why the consumer supply chain is disrupted. It's one of the best explanations I've yet read on the subject. Here's an excerpt. Most consumers are not aware food consumption in the U.S. is now a 50/50 proposition. Approximately 50% of all food was consumed “outside the home” (or food away from home), and 50% of all food consumed was food “inside the home” (grocery shoppers).

Assange Bail Application Today
Unfortunately I am in lockdown at home in Edinburgh and cannot get down to Westminster Magistrates Court for Julian Assange’s urgent bail application today. Several hearings ago, Magistrate Baraitser stated pre-emptively that she would not grant bail, before any application had been made.

DemPanic – Things You Might Not Know
The Lamestream Media and the Left are telling us we are all gonna die from the virus.

Dave, host of “Blue Collar Logic”, explains: Let us not forget that China has been very aggressive in building factories in Italy for decades due to Italy’s idiotic socialist policies.

Pelosi caves: Won't hold up help for you until community newspaper workers get pension plans
After holding up the economic aid so many Americans desperately need for several days Pelosi has thrown in the towel and pass the $1.8T dollar bipartisan Senate bill. That must have been hard for her since it means she left $0.7T in pork that was in her bill on the table. Since at no point has she shown any concern about the American people the only reason for this is that Democrat's internal polls show that holding Americans financial security at risk in return for such bizarre things as pension plans for community newspaper workers was killing Democrat's chances to win in Novemb... more »

COVID-19 - An Engineered Health Crisis?
As a person with a degree in science, my mindset is often driven by the scientific method: The key to a proper and thorough scientific analysis is an accurate and complete data set.
