My recent injuries provide a cautionary tale for every senior citizen. I never thought it would happen to me. I prided myself on keeping balanced after years of practicing Tai Chi. However, on March 28, 2022, I fell while getting onto my boat and, as a result, cracked a rib…

Maybe You Heard That the Supply Chain is Broken

From your favorite peanut butter to no furniture, it’s the supply chain stupid In 2020, there was a standard reply to my inability to reach a phone customer support person. I would hear at almost every voicemail, “wait times are longer than usual due to Covid-19.” After a while, I…

The Supply Chain Crisis Now Comes With a Surcharge

The broken supply chain now leads to an exciting twist as consumers fork over more money for delayed products I thought the above photo was a joke, or perhaps the latest story from the Babylon Bee. But no. I copied it from a friend’s Facebook page. So, let me get…

The Federal Government and Big Pharma are also to Blame for Vaccine-Reluctance

The “ do as I say and not as I do” policy no longer fools the public As the fourth Covid-19 (Delta variant) wave grips the country, the Federal government daily urges everyone to get vaccinated. How then do you explain that there is no policy mandating employees of the…

The Pandemic News is Bad Enough Without Lying About the Numbers

Two recent “accicental” cases of miscounting highlight why people don’t trust the media or government The Texas Tribune erroneously reported 5800 children were hospitalized in the state the first week of August. It turns out this number was since the start of the pandemic. That’s not a small error. Yesterday…

How to Recognize and Treat the Less Well-Known Silent Heart Killer Afflicting Six Million People

Atrial fibrillation is a common disorder that one-third of people don’t know they have.

The Shadiest Fine Print I’ve Ever Seen In a Contract

Sean Kernan

All of these examples are sadly true.

All of these examples are sadly true. Add to that extended contracts for stuff like fabric protection on furniture. I bought one of these and went through enough red tape to choke a federal bureaucrat. Ultimately, they shipped me a leather spot-cleaning cloth to remove the stain. Some contracts, however, are unreadable. Have YOU ever read an entire Apple software update agreement?

Man Eats Three Meals a Day at McDonald’s and Loses Weight — Seriously?

Kevin Maginnis’ story sounds absurd, but there is more here than click-bait headlines. I have seen this movie before. That’s because, in 2004, Morgan Spurlock starred in and produced a Netflix documentary, “Super Size Me.” The multi-million dollar hit charted Morgan’s 90-day trial of eating three meals daily at McDonald’s. …

Excellent points.

A Rational Medical Doctor Discovers Psychics’ Abilities to Predict the Future are Often Correct and Not Due to Chance

As an avowed skeptic and trained medical scientist, I was surprised by how often true psychics saw the future accurately. — As a medical doctor, I was taught repeatedly to question everything. Data is king, and future human events are largely unpredictable. When I met my artist-wife in 2004, she introduced me to psychics. My medical training molded my thinking that these people were hucksters, preying upon the emotionally damaged and…
