The Most Surrealistic What If Question Of All TimeIt’s got to be the most bizarre, surrealistic and downright cunning “What If?” question of all time: Obama man Joshua A. Geltzer asking through a Saturday CNN op-ed followed up by a Tweet: “What if Donald Trump loses in 2020 but won’t leave the Oval Office peacefully?” You can’t make this stuff up—even in an era when desperate times call for desperate measures.

Laughter Is Good Medicine

Laughter Is Good MedicineYears ago I told this story. A Russian member of the Russian Ski patrol arrived home after several months on duty. A TV interviewer asked, “What do you do first after being away so long?” He replied, “I make love to my wife”. “Yes, but what do you do next?” “I make love to my wife again”. Frustrated, the interviewer continued, “but then what do you do?” “Oh, I take off my skis”.

Keeping heavy metals out of beer and wine

That's why producers of alcoholic beverages usually filter them. But in a study appearing in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers report that a material often used as a filter could be transferring heavy metals such as arsenic to beer and wine. They also found ways to possibly limit this contamination.

The Media’s Tribal War on Americans

The Media's Tribal War on AmericansWhy did the media fall so swiftly for the Jussie Smollett hoax right after falling for the Covington Catholic hoax? The easy answer is bias. And that might have even been the right answer a generation ago. These days the media isn’t biased. It’s tribal.

No Dreamin’ Anymore: California Nightmare

No Dreamin’ Anymore: California NightmareThe State of California must be brought to heal, or if not, than to heel. California is in open rebellion against the United States and the American People. Americans living in California are being disenfranchised because foreign nationals have been allowed to vote in United States federal elections, in addition to other types of ballot box fraud. In the judiciary, the U.S. Ninth District Court that sits in San Francisco openly undermines the clear Constitutional authority of the Executive Branch of government to conduct the foreign policy of the United States of America, specifically concerning naturalization, immigration, and border security.

UnAmerican “American” wants to come back

UnAmerican American wants to come backTo what purpose does Hoda Muthana really want readmittance to the United States? To live the good life or to do her part to undermine the government that guarantees it? Once a person claiming citizenship abandons their claim by joining forces (literally) with an enemy, they have renounced any possible privilege of returning to that nation. And this is precisely where the “ISIS bride” stands.

MMT and the Green New Deal

One of the most interesting aspects of the "Green New Deal" is that its progressive proponents hardly mention taxes at all--even as some Republican economists continue to champion a carbon tax. Faced with the political defeat of the Waxman-Markey "cap and trade" bill, as well as the failed carbon tax initiatives in Washington State, it seems that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the other Green New Deal supporters are just going to accentuate the positive. In other words, they are going to focus on all the goodies contained in their proposals--such as a trillion dollars in spending projects--while downplaying taxes and regulations.
