Precious Plastic https://preciousplastic.com/index.html is a combination of people, machines, platforms and knowledge to create an alternative global recycling system. Anyone can do it. Anywhere. It’s a super cool way to help the environment and – if your heart desires it – to become an entrepreneur or community recycler. It’s one of the coolest solutions to plastic waste we’ve come […]

A former Obama administration lawyer who long defended investigating President Donald Trump’s Russian ties and spying on a campaign aide concludes in a new report that the FBI’s proposed reforms are “insufficient” to prevent abuses from occurring again.

Here’s a warning I shared with my friends on Facebook: Iran has “the world’s 4th biggest cyber army” and has to rely on asymmetric warfare to punch above its weight.

How does your state stack up? My favorite publication from the Canada-based Fraser Institute is Economic Freedom of the World, which ranks nations based on economic liberty. I religiously write about each year’s report (starting back in 2011), and I also cite the datadozens of time each year when analyzing policy in various nations.

Watch these videos carefully. I counted eight people prepared to unholster and shoot this creep. Play this every time someone tells you that we’d be a safer society if only criminals and the government have guns. But seriously, how dumb do you have to be to do this. He was dead in six seconds.

Bernie Sanders has single-handedly brought the term “democratic socialism” into the contemporary American political lexicon and shaken millions of Millennials out of their apathy towards politics. Even if he does not win the Democratic nomination, his impact on American politics will be evident for years to come. Sanders has convinced a great number of people […]

Say what you want about the conservative, churchgoing Grahams of Lexington County, S.C., but we knew how to cut loose for Christmas. Growing up in the Deep South, I never had the pleasure of a white one, of course. But what we southerners lack in snowfall, we make up for in lard. And sugar. And […]
