Bees, Toronto Trees, Butterflies and More

It is an ill wind that blows no good. The past winter may have been long and hard with spring late arriving. And while consequent tree and shrub damage was excessive overwintering pest populations were reduced. This is no excuse for reducing vigilance but it does make a gardener’s life a little easier – for the moment at least. As Lubarsky’s Law of Cybernetic Entomology reminds us: There’s always one more bug.

When the World Goes Crazy it First Kills Jews

Consider this, if there had been a state of Israel in the 1930s, many more European Jews would have been able to escape the fate that consumed six million of them during the Nazi Holocaust in World War II.

My Visit to The National Museum of Health and Medicine

Surgeon General William A. Hammond founded the Army Medical Museum in 1862 to “document the effects of war wounds and disease on the human body.” Its staff has conducted pioneering research on infectious diseases, pathology, and medical techniques. Museum researchers “contributed to discovering the cause of yellow fever and developing a vaccination for typhoid fever.” The Army Medical Museum was designated a Registered National Historic Landmark under the Historic Sites Act of August 21, 1935.

238 Years Later, Would Americans Still Choose Freedom Over Slavery?

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"--Patrick Henry Imagine living in a country where armed soldiers crash through doors to arrest and imprison citizens merely for criticizing government officials. Imagine that in this very same country, you're watched all the time, and if you look even a little bit suspicious, the police stop and frisk you or pull you over to search you on the off chance you're doing something illegal. Keep in mind that if you have a firearm of any kind while in this country, it may get you arrested and, in some circumstances, shot by police.

Refreshing Our Independence

Not for Kings, Rulers or "cool" people, have millions of citizen-heroes been willing to sacrifice everything, but for cherished, well-defined, and time honored principles. Duty. Honor. Country. These are the ideas for which millions have and will serve, fight and die.

India & Developing Nations Defeat Obama’s Green Agenda

Fresh from India’s “success” at the Nairobi environment conference, environment minister Prakash Javadekar said the country has decided to “reposition” its role in the global stage on climate change issues by intensely “lobbying” for a “good strategic relationship” with like-minded nations on the matter. He said India lobbied with Arab countries, G-77 plus China and BRICS to defeat the US position that Rio principles should not be made part of its final outcome document. “In negotiations, we were active this time. America was saying don’t refer to Kyoto Protocol, CBDR, Rio principles. We resisted that…we lobbied…all Arab countries, BRICS, G-77 plus China…all came together to oppose America’s position and ultimately Rio principles were part of the final outcome document,” he said. --Times of India, 30 June 2014

The United States: Prepared and Fit for Military Intervention in Iraq?

Following the seizure of Iraq’s main cities by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), there has been much discussion about possible US military intervention in Iraq. Since the ISIS campaign began, a small American force of 275 soldiers has been sent to Iraq with the declared goal of protecting US citizens and property. In addition, President Obama stated that the United States “will be prepared to take targeted and precise military action if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires it.” While the President also approved the dispatch of 300 military advisors to assist the Iraqi government, he declared that US troops will not be fighting again in Iraq. Several days later, Secretary of State John Kerry went to Iraq on an emergency visit.

Climate Change Denier Fringe Radicals

If you disagree with the Obama administration, you are an enemy of the State. Michelle Obama has told high school students to monitor their parents for infractions against government definitions regarding acceptable speech, and the First Lady has even called "unacceptable" the fact that school districts are opting out of her very unpopular, and failed, school nutrition standards (as if abiding by these standards are required by royal decree). The IRS has been used to target, and punish, opposition against the democrats, and proof of the heinous crime has conveniently disappeared. Barack Obama has been using executive orders to unconstitutionally modify law, and to put his own laws into place, steering around Congress with the opinion that he can do whatever he wants, regardless of the opinion of the representation of the people.

Did We Win the War on Poverty?

Back in 1964, then President Lyndon Johnson, initiated a government program and called it a "War on Poverty". Since that time, up until today, we have spent approx. $16 trillion in pursuit of eliminating poverty in the United States. Has it been worth it or was it just another liberal feel-good social program that has failed miserably?
