While I don't subscribe to anything anymore, I am a follower of Indy Neidel, an historian and actor who has an amazing string of history broadcasts extending over years. He is an America who (I think) married a German and moved to Sweden. His channel originates in Germany where he partners...

I studied Libertarianism a bit when Harry Browne ran for the Presidency, and he was where I got my impression of the philosophy. Socialism and Communism don't generally endorse freedom of movement over borders, and most don't legalize drugs. The drug issue was what the Libertarians were...

The attempt to portrait the suicide as "faked" was shaky as she allegedly threw herself out a second-story window, not the usual way to fake a suicide. Who knows? The cuts certainly could be a fake attempt.

I have seen this in "students" who substitute Audible books for the real thing.

When I was researching Libertarianism, I knew about the eopen borders but I never saw anything then about allowing non-citizens to vote in elections. The open borders claim was coupled withno welfare benefits of any kind, so there would be no economic reason to enter the U.S. other than a job...

That is true. The issue in this trial was her mental health at the time. Although I have not followed this trial, I come upon comments periodically when reading other things. One report I read said she tried to commit suicide when she realized what she had done. They are referring to Post...

I believe there was a mistrial declared due to one juror who would not vote to convict. I don't know whether there will be a new trial.

Welcome to all the newbies from the far north. We discuss a variety of things here, and many work to accept new ideas and concepts. A bunch of older folks with a lot in common.

There were many people complicit with Fauci in his misdeeds. Hopefully many of those will be exposed in the investigations of Fauci ...if they do happen.

That is especially true if the politicians are running in areas not aligned with their party affiliation. In Alaska, the Democrats often run as Independents, but the Republicans who win sometimes become de facto Democrats if they win. Our state Senate has a majority of Republicans but is...

Weather has turned almost to an Alaska summer minus the long days. Temps reached the low 70s F. yesterday and only dropped to 50 overnight. the stuff in the gardens that survived the 26 and 28 lows may yet produce more. We'll have to wait and see.

Last time I checked, the U.S. was the only 1st world nation to allow prescription drug ads. It only makes sense that they shouldn't be allowed to advertise things you cannot got someplace and purchase on your own. AI says it started under Clinton's FDA and that is what I remember as well. It...

I totally missed this post. I agree with much of what Dr. Berg said as I have posted myself mostly about lipoproteins and statins. Berg mentioned red yeast rice, and the effects of that is what got the statin craze going as red yeast rice has a form of statin in it. The same my be happening...

63 F. and sunny. It only got down to 40 F. last light.

When I was a small child, we had "modern" phones since we lived in suburban NYC. We had 13 VHF channels on the TV and a private phone line with a 7 digit number. When we moved to PA after my father died to save money, we had a party line with a 3 minute limit to a call. We didn't have to go...
