by Kirstie Pursey “‘The Little Prince’, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is a children’s story with some very profound meanings and some quotes that will really make you think. I have to admit that I never read the ‘Little Prince’ as a child. I think I wouldn’t have known what to make of it if I did. Even reading it as an adult I didn’t know what to make of it! However, it is clear that “The Little Prince” touches on some very deep themes about the nature of life, love, friendship and more. The following Little Prince quotes show just how many philosophical themes are discussed in th...
Five Natural Remedies for Clogged Up, Plugged Ears Including Apple Cider Vinegar, Hydrogen Peroxide and More
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 8 hours ago
Recently I began experiencing a very frustrating and debilitating condition that simply wouldn’t go away for more than a few hours at a time — a clogged up left ear. The plugged up ear coincided with the arrival of a “polar vortex” in Michigan just outside of Detroit where I lived, and it made life quite difficult at times. My hearing capabilities dropped by as much as 40-60% or so at times, making even the most simple conversations difficult. While attending a basketball game in Ann Arbor, a friend of mine shouted to me to pick him up a bottle of water at the concession stand, but ...

The Capitol Attacks Exposed America’s Flawed Exceptionalism

*Patrick T. Hiller, Michelle Dover* *Politics, Americas* The idea that the Capitol attacks “are not who we are” is manifestly wrong. This month’s attacks on the Capitol confronted us with the dark forces of glorified violence and white supremacy that have—like it or not—always been at the center of the American experience. As we process what happened, we must grapple with the reality that these attacks stem from much deeper causes than a single election. Addressing those causes will take more than swapping out parts of our government. We may have to swap out parts of our national...

At first glance, the KRISS U.S.A. Vector SMG may seem like a heavy, even blocky weapon. However, that is where looks can be truly deceiving.

The result is a .45 ACP or 9mm sub...

Deaths From COVID-19 Are Different From Other Respiratory Distress, But ICU Practices Are The Same

If someone elderly with blood clots and cancer treatment dies from respiratory distress, the federal government is generous about calling it a COVID-19 death. Even gunshot victims are considered COVID-19 related if they had tested positive for the virus in the last 30 days. Meanwhile, China has been denying that they have any at all since March, and no one can disprove them because they destroyed the records from the Wuhan lab where they were experimenting with SARS on pangolins and only recently let the World Health Organisation in to look at carefully curated records. read more

Bob Dinn, balance10 - 10 hours ago
Biden owes his result to 2 elements–his and the Dem/big media/big tech alliance to the kings of Wall Street and globalists on one hand; on the other to world socialism. Antony Sutton revealed this in detail 25 years ago in his book on the Federal Reserve this way: The entire Marxist philosophical battery is aimed at extermination of the middle class and the supremacy of the elite. Marxism is a device for consolidating power by the elite. It has nothing to do with relieving the misery of the poor or advancing mankind: it is an elitist political device pure and simple. … Two-thirds ...
