Does the West Have the Courage To Survive?
“If you’re … pathetically weak, the country is going to be overrun with millions of people, and if you’re strong, then you don’t have any heart, that’s a tough dilemma. … I’d rather be strong.”
So said President Donald Trump, on issuing his order halting the separation of children from parents caught breaking into the country. Trump’s enemies are celebrating a victory. Yet the issue remains.
Under U.S. law, teenagers and tots cannot be detained for more than 20 days and must be held in the le...

Used Car Prices Go Sky High
I’ve been telling you the used car market was sky high and that this is a good time to trade. Here’s proof.
Used Car Report
According to Edmunds’ latest Used Car Report, the average price of used cars is going up meaning bargains may be hard to come by. Here are the stats. In the first quarter of 2018, the average transaction price for a used vehicle was $19,657.

Celebrate Cheap Beer
Everywhere you look these days, attention is being paid to craft beers — heavy, hoppy small batch brews made by independent companies with artisanal recipes, new combinations of ingredients, and unique flavor profiles.
Cheap, old school beers — the kind your dad used to drink while grilling some brats or watching the World Series — have come to be looked down upon by some as boring, bland, water-downed corporate swill — the “fast food” of brews.
While craft beers can be tasty, there still a p...
Hip Pain at Night
Hip pain at night can make it hard to fall asleep, or it can wake you up during sleep. It is true that a lot of people don’t move much when they sleep, so their joints can swell and get stiff, but there could be other reasons for your hip pain at night.
There are some obvious causes of hip pain at night; however, there are also cases where the pain can be linked to an underlying health issue. As it turns out, hip pain is one of the most common types of pain suffered by people around the world...
Suicide Is on the Rise
By Dr. Mercola
The recent suicides of fashion designer Kate Spade and celebrity chef and TV personality Anthony Bourdain, which occurred within days of each other, have reignited a much-needed public discussion about suicide, mental illness and its treatment. As noted by Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), depression “is not a condition that is related to success or failure. No one is immune.”
Statistics also reveal suic...
The Entire Western World
In this column I am going to use three of the current top news stories to illustrate the disconnect that is everywhere in the Western mind.
Let us begin with the family separation issue. The separation of children from immigrant/refugee/asylum parents has caused such public outcry that President Trump has backed off his policy and signed an executive order terminating family separation.
The horror of children locked up in warehouses operated by private businesses making a profit off of US tax...
The Persistent Myth
Opinion polls in the United States and the United Kingdom have found that a majority of the public in both countries has a remarkably consistent belief that only about 10,000 Iraqis were killed as a result of the U.S.-British invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Estimates of deaths in Iraq actually range from 150,000 to 1.2 million. Part of the reason for the seriously misguided public perception may come from a serious belief in guided weapons, according to what the government tells people about “preci...
Do You Live in a Disaster Zone?
With constant media bombardment of fears of a nuclear war, many have begun to prepare for a disaster. But government uncertainty isn’t the only thing on the minds of the masses. Volcanic activity appears to be increasing and earthquakes seem to be getting more severe. That begs the question: do you live in a disaster zone?
In just the past 16 years, parts of Louisiana have been struck by six hurricanes. Areas near San Diego were devastated by three particularly vicious wildfire seasons. An...
Bill Clinton Abandoned His Own Son, Danney Williams
The self-proclaimed love child of Bill Clinton has eviscerated the former president on Twitter for showing compassion for the immigrant children separated from their families at the border but abandoning him.
Danney Williams, 32, has long claimed that his mother Bobbie Ann, a former prostitute, met Clinton in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1984 and became pregnant after one of her 13 trysts with the then-governor.
Williams, a father-of-five, has repeatedly appealed to Clinton to publicly acknowledg...
