The foreign policies of the West… Read more How Failed American Foreign Policy and the Iraq War has Fueled Terrorism in the Middle East.
Terrorists are monsters, but no one KNOWS they are a monster. Almost everyone creates a script inside their head justifying their own cause and demonizing others. The Nazis told themselves that the Holocaust was “right” because the “Jews were a danger to Germany”. The soldiers and CIA handlers who tortured innocent Iraqis told themselves they… Read more Terrorists WANT Anti-Islamic Backlash
I have a dentist appointment today. It’s just for a routine cleaning, but I suspect it will become more involved once they see the chip in my lower molar. The tooth is healthy, no cavities or anything, but my pernicious habit of grinding my teeth in my sleep is apparently causing some of them to… Read more Tooth? You Can’t Handle the Tooth.
I don’t consider myself to be unreasonable, but shouldn’t you READ a book before you review it … especially if you are going to give it a snark-filled, snide, condescending one-star review?

He calls himself a self-made man, but he inherited more than $200 million. Worst of all, he spouts baloney about immigration when he is the grandson and son of immigrants and has married… Read more Trump SHOULD Know About Immigrants
As part of another skirmish in the war on women, some Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs) have formed a movement dedicated to trying to bully women into remaining virgins lest they never, ever marry. These MRAs are on various forms of social media demanding that all men band together and declare that if a woman cannot… Read more Cherry Bomb
There is something very wrong when the editor of Elsevier Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology, Dr A. Wallace Hayes, caved to political pressure and retracted a long-term PEER-REVIEWED study on the toxic effects of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in 2013. You can read a pfd of the paper here: http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/glyphosate/NancySwanson.pdf The lead author on… Read more This Is Science?

During that time she has always, ALWAYS tried to serve Britain in the best was she could. Personally, I think the monarchy is a good thing in general, acting as a… Read more Queen Elizabeth II Reigns Supreme
I, as I have mentioned before, have Asperger’s syndrome. That means I don’t understand a lot of human reactions or interactions or responses to facts. I am confused when people get mad or offended by facts. Opinions? Sure, those can go any which way, but facts are … factual. That’s why I am having trouble… Read more The Four Most Noticeable Arguments Against #BlackLivesMatter
