The Journolism of NBC News

by

That’s not a typographical error in the headline! The spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity.

Michigan Needs a Mushroom License — And Deep Down, You Know It

by

Every spring in Michigan, the forests erupt into a full-scale fungal gold rush. Pickup trucks jam two-tracks. Facebook groups trade morel coordinates like cartel smugglers swapping contraband routes. Grown adults crawl through the woods in camouflage carrying mesh bags full of mushrooms worth more per pound than some cuts of steak.

Just look at the changes in the Western Hemisphere from the Artic to the Antarctic. The changes in Europe and the Middle East are mindboggling. The strike on Iran has now changed the Middle East forever and into a future of hope for peace and prosperity.

Michigan: A Peaceful Place Built by Geological Violence

Stand on the bank of the Au Sable River at sunrise and it’s all mist, pine trees, and trout quietly minding their business. Feels like the kind of place that’s always been this way—stable, predictable, friendly. It hasn’t. Michigan is what happens when the earth tries to tear itself apart, fails, gets buried, frozen, crushed, flooded, and then—only after all that—decides to look nice about it.

To Prescribe a Death: Killing a President

by

We live in turbulent times, very dangerous times. We live in a time where treason, excess, incompetence, and corruption are everywhere. The exposure of a political party’s treason and malfeasance has diminished their power, and they are fighting back with every known trick in their kit, including disinformation and a corrupt media, in an attempt to regain public support and undermine the credibility of their opponents.
