P​rotests against the National Anthem by NFL players have contributed to the organization's loss of one-million viewers compared to 2016. According to OKTC's Clay Travis, the four networks that carry the NFL (CBS, ESPN, Fox,​ and NBC)​ are on pace to lose $500 million this season compared to last year due to the ratings slide. The top reason for the loss is "cord-cutting" which is cancelling subscriptions to multi-channel television services on cable.

When FEE.org ran its first articles on Bitcoin, the price was $14. It was the curiosity of a tiny number of crypto-mavens. Today the price hit $10,000. It is the most lucrative investment on the planet earth, and perhaps the safest haven against government monetary depredations.
What is this about? The key is market-driven technology. Bitcoin is a new solution to the oldest human problems of securing property, documenting ownership rights, and facilitating trade. 

Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely referred to American Jews as “people that never send their children to fight for their country. Most of the Jews don’t have children serving as soldiers, going to the Marines, going to Afghanistan, or to Iraq. Most of them are having quite convenient lives...” Hotovely was reprimanded for this statement by Prime Minister ​Netanyahu and forced to apologize for it - not because it is untrue but because it is objectionable.

Dan Bongino said that Hillary Clinton is fighting for relevance to maintain her political clout in order to keep her crimes buried. Bongino threatened to spill the beans on Bill Clinton's 26 trips to 'Orgy Island' with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Bongino's life may be in peril because the Clinton body count reportedly includes 12 former bodyguards who died during or after their service with the Clintons. [...]

Hayek has dedicated the majority of his book to explaining why planned economies on a national scale are bound to fail. You can understand his frustration then, when in the wake of World War II there was a bigger push for international governance.

Republicans are always having a collective hissy fit that the U.S. is the most over-taxed country in the world. They know they're lying. Look at the OECD chart above showing tax as a percentage of GDP in each of the OECD countries. The U.S. has the lowest percentage of any countries other than Ireland and 3 really screwed up countries: Turkey, Chile and Mexico. The average of all economically developed countries is 34.3%-- but the U.S.

Alabama: Retired Marine Colonel, Lee Busby, plans to run as a write-in candidate in an attempt to try and stop Judge Roy Moore from reaching the United States Senate.

Anybody who pays critical attention to outputs of corporate news media will be aware that the idea of a free press, while lauded in principle, is scarcely actualised in practice. A further worrying development is that the very principles animating the idea are apparently being called into question by an organisation that purports to defend them.

About 52 percent was used on livestock and 48 percent by humans. More than 50,000 tons ended up in the water and soil [Xinhua]

Though Turse notes that he reports only a “fraction” of documented atrocities committed by US forces in Vietnam, reading through the two central atrocity chapters (4 and 5) still becomes a disorienting, brutal, and then numbing slog. For the sake of reference and sanity, there could have been more organization to delineate specific categories of crimes in these sections. However, an argument in favor of Turse’s choice might be that to become familiar with this material requires an element of the insane.

"Sustainability." "Free trade." "Globalism." Does the very mention of these words set your blood boiling? Why? Are you reacting to the actual meaning of the words, or the way those words have been twisted to serve various political agendas? Do you control your language? If you don't, then do you control your own thoughts?

Are such designations ever useful?  At the stroke of a pen, an entire state is designated “terrorist” or a seemingly milder sponsor of terrorism, its name finding a way onto a list of supposed unmentionables and moral inverts.  Obscure groups and more notable countries huddle together, supposedly sharing some disreputable common ground and we are none the wiser on the[Read More...]
