More proof the #FakeNews media lies to you: Warren wasn't fired for being pregnant edition
Serial liar Elizabeth Warren tried to float the story that she was denied a job because she was pregnant. But then records were produced that showed that in fact she had been offered the job and turned it down. What's interesting is that Reid Epstein saw the records that showed that Warren was lying and didn't report on them. While he was working at the WSJ when he found the records back in April he moved to the NYT in the same month. When the NYT was questioned about why the story wasn't reported they said that the records were "inclusive" and more sourcing was needed. Given that... more »

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Fortunately, the Cold War did not go hot. *Key point: *Genuine fear of global destruction kept us safe. The Cold War was a uniquely dangerous period in human history.

California Democrat polices increase atmospheric CO2: fires edition
California's fires aren't due to climate change. That's obvious because no one, not even the most radical scientists, say that the temperature in California has changed dramatically in the last 2 to 3 years when these fires have become worse. What has changed is that instead of properly managing forests and allowing logging the ecofreaks who run California have let the forests be. That results in a massive build up of flammable materials which is the real cause of the large recent fires. Historically logging, controlled burns, and other techniques kept the flammable mass of fores... more »

How To Conquer Fear And Master It
Fear is an emotion that comes between failure and success. It may drive us away from happiness and love. Often we don’t want to get out of our comfort zone to explore the world and what it has to offer. It is easier to stay in the same daily routine. Uncertainty creates fear and makes us scared. People are afraid of getting hurt, yet hurt shows us that we are living. The same as if we didn’t experience sadness, we wouldn’t be able to understand happiness. Risks can make us lose something, yet we could gain something better. To succeed, we need to face our fears and take a few risk... more »
