Tennessee news anchor sues over age, gender discrimination | Daily Mail Online

Thursday, November 29, 2018

According to the suit, in the two-and-a-half years before Kalodimos was fired, seven other employees over 40 years old were replaced with younger employees. In that period, Kalodimos wrote two letters to management detailing what she considered to be discrimination at the station, but it took no action, the lawsuit said.The conflict came to a head in November 2017 when former co-workers named Kalodimos as a witness in their own age-discrimination lawsuit. Much of the publicity surrounding that suit focused on Kalodimos, who was still an anchor.A week later, Kalodimos was fired. She was 58 at the time.

GOVERNACIDE: California’s Forest Fire Tragedy | Hoover Institution

Thursday, November 29, 2018

Every bit as important is the major change in the philosophy of land use management. Much of the forest land in California is now owned by the state and federal government.  These lands have proved far more vulnerable to forest fires than properties owned by private groups.  Private lands are managed with the goals of conservation and production.  The management of public lands has been buffeted by legislative schemes driven by strong ideological commitments. Writing last year, Republican Congressman Tom McClintock noted that his air inspections revealed a distressing pattern: “The [privately] managed forests are green, healthy and thriving. The neglected federal forests are densely overcrowded and often scarred by fire because we can’t even salvage the fire-killed timber while it still has value.”

Private management of forest was / is far better than “public (Gooferment) (mis)management”.

Argh!

Doesn’t anyone else think that this pension is excessive?

Wonder how many taxpayers who will pay for this “pension” have a pension at all?

This is part of the problem —  current 18T+ national debt and the guesstimated 200T+ in unfunded liabilities that our posterity will have to deal with.

RANT: Are the Saudi Princes True Friends? – Antiwar.com Original

Sunday, November 25, 2018

Trump is unabashedly putting U.S. economic and strategic interests first. He is not going to damage our relationship with Riyadh and its royal family, even if the future king ordered a cold-blooded killing of a U.S.-based Saudi journalist he regarded as an enemy.

Well, I am not a “DJT fan boy”, but I think it’s not the job of the American President to be the world’s policeman.

I’m sure that there are many more terrible things to discover out there.

I’d like the USA to adopt Switzerland’s foreign policy and just MYOB!

GOVERNACIDE: Private Firefighters Prove That The Government Cannot Protect You

Saturday, November 24, 2018

*** begin quote ***

Private firefighters provided by American International Group (AIG) safeguard the mansions of 42% of Forbes’ list of the 400 richest Americans. Average Americans ended up burning to death in the California wildfires while private firefighters protected the empty mansions of the rich.

*** and ***

The existence of private firefighters proves that most Americans cannot rely on the government in disasters.

Rich people and insurance companies hire private firefighters because they know the government will not protect their property and lives. In addition, the government is probably not even competent enough to do so. The majority of Americans need to learn the same lesson if they want to survive.

ECONOMICS: Will China Adopt a Gold Standard to Boost Its Economy?

Thursday, November 22, 2018

Ultimately, a return to sound money is a solution that will do less damage than fiat currencies losing their purchasing power at an accelerating pace. Think Venezuela, and how sound money would solve her problems. But that path is blocked by a sink-hole that threatens to swallow up whole governments. Trying to buy time by throwing yet more money at an economy suffering a credit crisis will only destroy the currency. The tactic worked during the Lehman crisis, but it was a close-run thing. It is unlikely to work again.

The USA, and all the Western Gooferments, are screwed.

Their inability to “discipline” the “wants” from the real “needs” will be their downfall.

The USA’s current 18.8T$+ national debt (as of 2015) and the guesstimated 200T+ in unfunded liabilities that our posterity will have to deal with just tells you the WHOLE story.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Is Cheese Really Bad for You? | NutritionFacts.org

Monday, November 19, 2018

It’s like when our tax dollars are used to buy up surplus cheese. Paul Shapiro wrote a great editorial. Imagine the headline “Government Buys $20 Million in Surplus Pepsi,” our hard-earned tax dollars “buying millions of unwanted cola cans, all as a favor to the flailing soda industry, which just kept producing drinks no one wanted. As outrageous as such a government handout to the soda industry would be, that’s exactly what the [USDA] is doing for the…dairy industry.”

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Shocking Lack of Evidence

Monday, November 19, 2018

As it presently stands, it is not sound medical science, but primarily economic and political motivations which generate the immense pressure behind mass participation in the annual ritual of flu vaccination. It is a heavily guarded secret within the medical establishment (especially within the corridors of the CDC) that the Cochrane Database Review (CDR), considered by many within the evidence-based medical model to be the gold standard for assessing the therapeutic value of common medical interventions, does not lend unequivocal scientific support to the belief and/or outright propaganda that flu vaccines are ‘safe and effective.’ao-opts a natural process, generating a broad range of adverse unintended consequences, many of which have been documented here .

Just when I get to thinking maybe I SHOULD get a flu shot, I read something like this. Perhaps it’s all political and Crony Capitalism propaganda.

So sad that the Gooferment can’t be trusted at all about anything.

PEACE: Why Washington Blows Up Over A European Army

Sunday, November 18, 2018

Via The Strategic Culture Foundation, “Insulting” – that’s how US President Donald Trump sharply reacted to the idea of a “real European army” proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron. And it was how Macron rationalized the need for an independent military force for Europe that perhaps most irked the American leader.

Perhaps, this “european army” might be the key to winding down the overstretching of the USA’s military and finances?
