"Why? Go Look In The Mirror"
*"Why? Go Look In The Mirror"* by Karl Denninger *"Why did Parkland happen? *Because the law is not enforced; the shooter had been reported multiple times for acts that were plenty to arrest him, have him declared mentally incompetent or both. He could not have shot up anything if in prison or a mental institution. *Why does medical care cost ten times what it does in other nations? *Because the law is not enforced; it is a felony to attempt to restrain trade, create or maintain monopolies, and price-fix.

Arming teachers may not be the easiest or best solution to school shootings
In the wake of the Parkland school shooting, as with other such tragedies, I'm sure you've seen calls to arm teachers, so they can protect their students. I've made such calls myself in the past. However, I've been thinking about it, and it may raise as many issues as it might solve. First off, not all schools are equal. Some are dens of student iniquity - violence, disrespect for the authority of teachers, gang activity, and so on. New York City is a prime example. If teachers were armed in such schools, they'd be targeted by the gang-bangers, who'd try to take their guns for... more »

“Ethical shades of gray:” 90% of researchers in new health field admit to questionable practices

Trump And His Toxic Regime Aren't Normal-- But "Normal" Has Been Wretched For Too Many Americans
Trump doesn't tell the truth about anything. He never has. He's lied his way through life. And the video above, one of many showing him claiming to be "the least racist person" in the whole wide world, is just another flat out lie. Trump is a disgusting, vile racist, a disgrace for the United States. And most Americans finally see it. A poll commissioned by the Associated Press found that "more than half of Americans (57%), including large majorities of blacks and Hispanics," say that Señor Trumpanzee "is a racist.

Spirit Bird: 'One-in-a-million' yellow cardinal seen in Alabama

If you "help" to stop a gun crime, the police may shoot you
An Amarillo man found that out the hard way recently. When a man with a handgun walked into a church service at the Faith City Mission in Amarillo, Texas, most of the crowd of about 100 started to run. But Tony Garces, an ex-con, took his shirt off and confronted the gunman, according to a news release from Amarillo police. * . . .* “I said: ‘Hey, hey, I got the gun. I took the gun away from him,’” Garces told KVII. “[The police] said throw it down. I wasn’t going to throw it down because it could have fired. It had bullets in it, you know.

US Propaganda Collapses in Syria, But Threats Remain
*March 2, 2018 *(Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - Propaganda used by the United States and its partners amid its destructive campaign of regime change aimed at the Syrian government has collapsed.

They also find themselves the targets of growing criticism from around the world.

Crow Speaks To Squirrel At Bird Feeder
A wild crow came to the bird feeder and found a big, fat squirrel feasting on the peanuts that were supposed to be for him. Squirrels and crows are enemies and never get along, especially when food is at stake, but instead of starting a fight, the crow did something unbelievable. He said "hello". Twice! He's a completely wild crow, but he can say hello in a voice that sounds much like a parrot. What's more, the crow actually understands that the word hello is a greeting. This is an amazing and heart warming story that really begins in 2011. A nest of baby crows fell out of a tree a... more »

More proof biodiversity reduces the need for chemicals
