The News You Won't Easily Find for May 29, 2018





Some people are truly innovative


Unlike the president, I don’t trust polls any further than I can throw a huge sow. But I think Lunz has it right. This part of his observation is right on:

Well, I’ve been tracking this on a weekly basis going back now for a year and a half and these are the best numbers that the GOP has had in the last year,” he said, Mediaite reported. “One of the reasons is that women, working women, women with children, have begun to leave the Democratic Party. It’s not that they are pro-Republican, but what they see among the Democrats is the same kind of negativity that turned them off in previous elections.”

I’ve highlighted the most important finding. The Dims are not going to win on negativity.


Pyongyang,’ ‘Kim Jong-Un’ trigger Pelosi face spasms

Just think, if the Dims gain a majority in the House, she could be the next Speaker, she could be right behind VP Pence to be POTUS.

U.S. record oil exports bite into Russia, OPEC market share in Asia

I know leftists will instantly make comments about greedy corporations but will totally overlook an important part – it means much more work for Americans.

But even if Asia and Europe are keen to take more U.S. crude, the record volumes are straining export infrastructure in the United States, limiting its ability to pump and ship more oil.

Tight (shale) oil’s been eating OPEC’s lunch for the last few years. The lack of infrastructure will temporarily cede market share back to OPEC,” R.T. Dukes, head of U.S. Lower 48 oil supply at Wood Mackenzie said in a note last week.



The Rules for a Long and Happy Life

The article has a whole lot of suggestions, many that make a lot of sense. Here are what I think are, by far, the most important:

The most valuable thing you can own is a good reputation.

Take responsibility for your actions.

Stop whining, complaining, and criticizing. No one will want to be around you.

Stop blaming others. The person who is responsible for over 90% of your problems is the one you see in the mirror every morning.



Swift “Justice” in UK for Reporting Muslim Atrocities

If anything shows the major difference between British justice and American, it’s this. Our system presumes us innocent until proven guilty. Napoleonic Law as practiced in other countries claims one guilty until proven innocent. Here’s a perfect example:

The swiftness with which injustice was meted out to Tommy Robinson is stunning. No, more than that: it is terrifying.

Without having access to his own lawyer, Robinson was summarily tried and sentenced to 13 months behind bars. He was then transported to Hull Prison.

Meanwhile, the judge who sentenced Robinson also ordered British media not to report on his case. Newspapers that had already posted reports of his arrest quickly took them down. All this happened on the same day.

In Britain, rapists enjoy the right to a full and fair trial, the right to the legal representation of their choice, the right to have sufficient time to prepare their cases, and the right to go home on bail between sessions of their trial. No such rights were offered, however, to Tommy Robinson.

Louis Farrakhan Says Trump is “Destroying Our Enemies”

You can hear the full interview @  

Asked to react to claims that Trump has done more for black people than Barack Obama’s administration, Farrakhan gave a surprising answer.

The nature of this administration is good for us,” he said, even if “that wasn’t the intent.”

He just had to get in that last dig.

His main commentary is that he’s “beating up the FBI” which has been beating up blacks since J. Edgar Hoover.



Researchers recommend eating vegetables, fruits and nuts to get vitamins

Don’t waste your time and money on all that junk sold just about everywhere you turn.

Past studies have shown than, when taken in excess, antioxidant supplements have create a deficiency of several minerals like iron and zinc.

The absorption of these minerals is prevented from the gastrointestinal tract, depriving your of essential nutrients.

One glimmer of hope came in the form of folic acid, which was found to be the only supplement proven to reduce the risk of heart disease or a stroke.
