Currently, only 1.7% of American homes heat with wood with an additional 7.7% use it for their secondary source of heat. That leaves 90% of Americans without a sustainable way to heat their homes if the SHTF. Don’t be one of those 90% if you want to survive your first post-SHTF winter…

Stablecoins: The US Dollar’s Unexpected Lifeline

by Mises Wire•Rowan Parchi

A paradox now sits at the center of global finance: the US government, in trying to stabilize its debt markets, has legitimized the very free-market forces that are eroding its monopoly over money.

In mid-2025, the United States enacted the GENIUS Act, the first comprehensive legal framework for stablecoins — privately issued, fully backed digital dollars that move instantly across open blockchain networks rather than through the regulated banking system. The law gave official legitimacy to an already booming industry, but its deeper consequence reaches far beyond cryptocurrency. It has turned stablecoin issuers into a new and dependable class of buyers of US government debt…

The Third Rail: Covid-19 Vaccines and Cancer

Studies will be essential to reveal whether certain cancer types occur more frequently in vaccinated compared to unvaccinated individuals.

By Charlotte Kuperwasser

I’m going to touch on a highly controversial subject, one that has become the third rail among cancer biologists and the broader medical community: the possible link between Covid-19 vaccination and cancer.

How Exercise Helps Maintain Healthy Vitamin D Levels in the Wintertime

During winter in northern climates, sunlight is too weak to trigger vitamin D production, leaving many people — especially those with excess body fat — at risk for deficiency

by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Your body needs direct sunlight, specifically ultraviolet B rays, to produce vitamin D, but during the winter in northern climates, that sunlight often isn’t strong enough to trigger production. If you live in one of these regions, you may go months without making any vitamin D naturally. And if you also carry extra weight, your risk of deficiency climbs even higher…

The Thinker - A Poem by Berton Braley

A Poem by Berton Braley celebrating who Ayn Rand called “The Men of the Mind” and a Tribute to Berton Braley by Chris Baker for FEE

By Berton Braley

Back of the beating hammer
By which the steel is wrought,
Back of the workshop’s clamor
The seeker may find the Thought,
The Thought that is ever master
Of iron and steam and steel,
That rises above disaster
And tramples it under heel!
The drudge may fret and tinker
Or labor with lusty blows,
But back of him stands the Thinker,
The clear-eyed man who knows;
For into each plow or saber,
Each piece and part and whole,
Must go the Brains of Labor,
Which gives the work a soul!…

What happens to your body after you drink a can of Coke

With recent studies linking sugary beverages to fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, here’s why experts are concerned

By David Cox

An amusing tale which regularly does the rounds on social media is that every time you consume a can of Coke, you lose 12 minutes of your life.

While not entirely accurate – it’s an approximation based on Coke’s sugar content and how sugar consumption affects life expectancy, and doesn’t account for the other genetic and lifestyle factors which influence your lifespan – it has raised awareness of the health concerns relating to Coke. This has been newly highlighted by a number of recent studies…
