  • Old Man’s Disease is More Prevalent Than Anyone SuspectsOld Man’s Disease is More Prevalent Than Anyone Suspects
    I love my dad. He gave us kids everything he could: love, money, attention, and most of all he was always there for us when the chips were down. When I was young, I thought my dad knew everything. Unfortunately, as I got older I realized my dad only thought he knew everything. I used to call this condition of all-knowingness “Old Man’s Disease” (OMD) which I defined as the mental condition that causes us to believe that we know everything.

    • EXCLUSIVE! Gold and Silver Dealers Start Restricting Buy Backs – May Soon Stop Buying Back Altogether
      by Brian-Admin on January 29, 2026 at 1:01 am

      The fact that the rapid rise in value for gold and silver for the past few weeks could actually be negative, is a thought that had never crossed my mind, until this week, when I tried to sell some of my gold, and found out just how difficult it was, and may soon be impossible. I want to be very clear here that I am not offering financial advice, and that […]

    • The Scriptures Will Not Save Evangelical Zionist Christians
      by Brian-Admin on January 26, 2026 at 10:34 pm

      In the fifth chapter of John's Gospel in the New Testament portion of the Bible, we have the very remarkable statements from Jesus about the "Scriptures", which at that point in history were what we call the "Old Testament" portion of the Bible today, and included the writings of Moses, and the Prophets. He told the Jews of his day who did not believe that […]

    • CIVIL WAR in the U.S.! Another U.S. Citizen Murdered by Federal Agents in Minneapolis
      by Brian-Admin on January 25, 2026 at 12:28 am

      Earlier today, Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and ICU nurse who worked for the government in a VA hospital, was shot about 10 times by federal agents while video recording protests in Minneapolis. As I write this, more video footage of the event is going public. Pretti appeared to be filming federal agents and trying to direct traffic, when those federal […]

      • A 20-year-old cancer vaccine may hold the key to long-term survival
        on January 30, 2026 at 6:13 am

        Two decades after a breast cancer vaccine trial, every participant is still alive—an astonishing result for metastatic disease. Scientists found their immune systems retained long-lasting memory cells primed to recognize cancer. By enhancing a key immune signal called CD27, researchers dramatically improved tumor elimination in lab studies. The findings […]

      • A Trojan horse cancer therapy shows stunning results
        on January 30, 2026 at 6:05 am

        Scientists at Mount Sinai have unveiled a bold new way to fight metastatic cancer by turning the tumor’s own defenses against it. Instead of attacking cancer cells head-on, the experimental immunotherapy targets macrophages—immune cells that tumors hijack to shield themselves from attack. By eliminating or reprogramming these “bodyguards,” the […]

      • Dermatologists say collagen supplements aren’t the skin fix people expect
        on January 30, 2026 at 4:30 am

        Collagen pills sound like a shortcut to younger skin, but solid evidence doesn’t back them up. Higher-quality studies show little benefit, and your body doesn’t absorb collagen in the way ads suggest. Some supplements may even pose safety concerns and lack proper testing. Experts recommend focusing on proven habits like sunscreen, retinoids, and a […]

      • Understanding Unsaturated & Saturated FatUnderstanding Unsaturated & Saturated Fat
        Body builders love MCTs because they go right into the blood, for use they don’t need to be processed before they can be used. As opposed to the long chain fatty acids that comprise most of our dietary fats, MCTs are relatively inert; they don’t really affect digestive chemistry. That’s important, especially if the digestive system is stresses or impaired. MCT’s don’t require bile.

        on January 30, 2026 at 11:47 am

        Driven by an older, more diverse population and a significant increase in risk factors, at least six in 10 U.S. adults are projected to have some form of cardiovascular disease, causing related health care costs to triple. That's a figure that is only expected to grow. Each year heart disease and stroke already kill more than all forms of cancer combined.

      • Winter changes more than the weather—it changes how we connect. How to stay socially engaged
        on January 30, 2026 at 11:33 am

        Throughout Earth's history, life in temperate and polar zones has had to contend with the cold and darkness of winter. Across species, seasonal adaptation is the norm. Some animals hibernate, others migrate, and many reduce activity, conserve energy, and narrow their social and ecological range until conditions improve. These strategies evolved over millennia as reliable responses to predictable […]

        by Bett on June 14, 2024 at 7:03 am

        With so many different fast food stores, drink sizes can get hella confusing. Luckily, Dunkin drink sizes are kept fairly straightforward.  I have to say I like this approach. Yes, I’ve got used to Starbucks drink sizes but honestly, when I first started going to Starbucks I found the whole thing pretty confusing. If you:... What are Dunkin Donuts Drink […]
