Dr Oz is a disgraced TV host and bullshit peddler who now wants a government job. On the good side, at least he is honest about being dishonest. businessinsider.com/dr-oz-false-mi…
The British Medical Journal determined that Dr Oz had a 46% non-bullshit rate. I do not know if they ran that against the 100% Trump Bullshit baseline. But Oz could promote the claim. "54% Less Dishonest Than Donald Trump!" bmj.com/content/349/bm…
PNAS determined that politicians lie more than the general public.... and worse..."We find that in our sample, politicians who are averse to lying have lower reelection rates, suggesting that honesty may not pay off in politics." pnas.org/content/117/36…
Getting the top political job in this country requires serious lying. So bad that George Washington's quote about not lying... is a lie. bbc.com/news/world-us-…
Psychologists queried people in 75 different countries and 43 languages. Participants respond to the open-ended question “How can you tell when people are lying? Americans rated the word "liar" as the least likeable of 555 personality trait terms. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
52% said lying in your own interest was justified..and most said you could tell a liar because they averted their gaze when lying. This is why politicians stare straight into the camera. How can you tell if politicians are lying? Their lips move. suu.edu/blog/2016/10/h…
And I lied ...Trump tells the truth 34% of the time. So Oz is 10% less dishonest. usnews.com/news/articles/…

The lady at Walmart told me the car and truck batteries are now locked up because people run in, grab them and run out. I was going to explain how a tripwire worked and thought this helpful RYP tip might not end well.
She said they were also running out the door with giant flat screens. She was impressed with the skill that took. Nothing an hour reading FM 5-31 couldn't fix. bits.de/NRANEU/others/…
I get all the high end smash and grabs but I thought who wants to go to jail for stealing a car battery? Nothing that a little fishing wire and a quick pull couldn't fix.

The media tries real hard to explain weapons but they just don't get it.
Failgun videos are my favorites. Guns are dangerous kids.
Guns are tools and machines. Very ancient mechanical designs that rely on compressing explosions to direct a dense mass object towards a target. Optimally to destroy the target via trauma and concussion.
