With the media attention focused largely on the president-elect’s antics going on in Trump Tower, the lame duck Congress pushes on largely overlooked. Unfortunately that’s when the legislature can be most dangerous.
For the first time in two decades, according to a new study released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the life expectancy of the average American declined in 2015. Of course, with America's obesity epidemic spiraling out of control it probably shouldn't be a surprise that the occurrence of deaths related to America's number 1 killer, heart disease, is on the rise (see "FatLivesMatter: At Least 1 Out Of Every 5 People Are Obese In All 50 States").
There isn't anything wrong with a little paranoia -- especially when someone is actually out to get you. For the past year, we've heard nothing but horrible things about Trump, how he was 'literally Hitler', an orange pussy grabbing megalomaniac who'd usher in a black age of nuclear fallout and wanton dictatorship. Assholes like Mark Cuban warned of imminent market crashes upon the miracle of him getting elected.
Big Money Intends To Shut Down Our Website
Paul Craig Roberts
Big Money and the US government controlled by Big Money intend to close down Internet truthtellers. As Trump intends to reduce the tensions between nuclear powers, the 200 List prepared by the shadowy Internet site, PropOrNot, is in Trump’s way.
