Unless you’ve been hiding in a cave the past day or so, you’ve probably heard the story of United Airlines flight 3411. But I suppose I should quickly recap.

Washington Post Says Vegan Websites Are Working For Putin
by Michael Suede •
I can’t make this shit up. The Washington Post came out with an article the other day where they referenced a list of web sites produced by an “anonymous” group of characters, claiming that the sites on the list are actually Russian operated propaganda outlets. The Intercept did a great write up on this here.…
Trump’s Appointments
by Michael Suede •
So far it’s looking like a mix of good and bad. His national security adviser, Retired Gen. Michael Flynn, isn’t too bad, but the AG (Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions) and CIA Director (Republican congressman Mike Pompeo of Kansas) suck. I think Flynn’s wiki page has been edited to make him look as bad as…

Cancer Society Deleting Posts On Cancer and Diet
by Michael Suede •
Well this is interesting. I was doing some research on prostate cancer and ran across the American Cancer Society’s prostate cancer support forums. I decided to search for any mention of the Dean Ornish study where he reversed prostate cancer in a group of patients by putting them on a vegan diet, along with an…

If you’ve ever wondered about this question, then this 2010 study is for you! About 25% of the total US adult black population has a felony, while 6.5% of adult non-blacks have a felony conviction. About 8.6% of the adult population has a felony conviction. Florida is a particularly egregious police state. 35% of adult blacks in…
The Tale of My Father’s Escape From Communist Hungary

The revolt began as a student…
