We’re Suing to Find Out if the Intelligence Community’s Independence is Being Compromised
President Trump has always had a strained relationship with the intelligence community. Since entering office, he’s rejected intelligence professionals’ assessments of issues ranging from Russian interference in the 2016 elections to the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi officials. Most often, the president has rejected intelligence analysis when it does not conform to his pre-existing worldview—or his political interests. In other cases, he’s denigrated career intelligence officials as members of a “Deep State” conspiracy, publicly threatened those who raised a... more »

Native Honey Tastes Better? Okay, But Diabetes Health Claims Don't Add Up
In Australia, native people have long contended that native stingless bee honey had special health properties. Like the well-known *Apis mellifera* honeybees, stingless bees live in permanent colonies made up of a single queen and workers, who collect pollen and nectar to feed larvae within the colony. And a new paper does find that nearly 85 percent of its sugar is trehalulose, not maltose, and trehalulose has a lower glycemic index, but claims that makes it healthier are going to deceive the public. Sugar is still sugar. Claims that native peoples who eat a lot of it have lower ... more »

Thought for Today
Conservatism is an understanding based on the respect of what and how things are, the curiosity to improve, the respect of traditions and history, and the embrace of personal freedoms, all based on commonsense observations. Leftism is an ideology based on the failed policies of totalitarian regimes, the abandonment of traditions, societal norms and history, the subjugation of free peoples, the hatred of country, and the embrace of idiocy. ~ Hardnox
