The best beers in the world are easier to get than ever before. Forty years ago, customers strolling through grocery stores would only find endless variations on the easy-drinking domestic lager.

I’m not kidding. That’s number one. “Number two, I can’t even say that number, 80, you know. But I’m serious, I no more feel that than...

The Danish government is filled with ghoulish inhumane death worshippers.Either that or they have decided that paying attention to real science and ignoring the COVID death cult is a better public health strategy than kowtowing to the terminally paranoid or narcissistic power mad elves like Anthony Fauci.In a move that will no doubt be completely ignored by the MSM and the COVID cultists, the Danish government will not even offer the COVID vaccine to otherwise healthy people under 50. Their explanation from the COVID-19 vaccination website:The purpose of the vaccination programme is to prevent severe illness, hospitalisation and death. Therefore,...

Denmark will bar almost everyone under 50 from receiving more mRNA Covid jabs, the Danish Health Authority said yesterday. Denmark had already ended Covid shots for nearly everyone under 18.

"Hopefully we'll get an answer reasonably soon," Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN's Laura Coates. Advertisement Second boosters have been authorized for U.S. adults 50 and up, as well as certain people with weakened immune systems, since March. But for anyone under the age of 50, only one booster is authorized. Fauci's comments come amid a worrisome time in the pandemic...

Bill Gates: For people over 50 or 60, they'll probably have to get boosted every 6 months until we get even better vaccines; so we're in for ongoing vaccination to stay absolutely safe... pic.twitter.com/zqHXbCPzkK— Wittgenstein (@backtolife_2022) May 15, 2022

It's WAY-BACK MACHINE time, FReepers! Although it was clear President Obama was mysteriously immune from impeachment, here are just 50 of the many actions he should've been impeached for.. This list is by no means complete as IT DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE OBAMA'S NUMEROUS CRIMES DURING SPYGATE, but take a look.. 01) Obama failed to force Eric Holder to resign following his 'Fast & Furious' and 'AP phone records' scandals and Congress' finding that Holder was in 'Contempt of Congress'! 02) Obama willfully deceived the American people by lying about Obamacare not being a tax solely for purposes of getting it...

My 50th high school reunion is still a month away -- time enough to lose the 10 pounds that have crept back on after a successful diet a few years back. I have a feeling all my classmates are in the same boat. Well, maybe not all. As I look through the pictures of those brave enough to post updates to their graduation photos, there are a few who have remained slim, but most are heavier and almost all grayer, except for the minority, who, like me, color their hair. I don't know that I'll make my goal, and maybe...

It was the twilight of the Roman Empire. The decay, which would lead to the empire’s downfall, had set in long before. The ruling class sought to appease its people by taking money from the largest landowners and most successful businessmen and giving it to the rest of society. But the effort had irretrievably harmed the economy and habituated the poorest and even the middle class to taking gifts and free stuff, and diminished their work ethic. And the rulers, in their indulgence and eagerness to please the citizenry, had amassed for the empire incalculable debts that it could never...
