We have done “social-media-can-get-you-into-trouble” stories before, and it just happened again. Also, political activism can get you in trouble with your employer. Did you know, there is no federal law that protects private sector workers from retaliation by employers for off-work political activity? That may sound weird, but think about it as freedom and liberty: […]

Albert Einstein came up with that name: “Spooky action at a distance” and it refers to a bizarre phenomenon in physics: Entangling pairs of photons makes them mate in a way that they are connected across vast distances – action on one impacts the other in the same, but opposite, way. I am no scientist, […]

The issue is: What happens when the federal government violates the Constitution against U.S. persons? What’s the remedy? In 1965, a very unconstitutional police raid of a family’s home led to a major Supreme Court decision in 1971. That decision allowed people wronged by federal authorities to sue the federal government for money damages when […]

My neighbor flies a drone for recreation. My favorite baseball team lost a pitcher at a key time last year; hurt working on his drone. The local news asks people to not fly their drones over wildfires. My father could have been helped (maybe) by a drone (and GPS!) but the days of drones as […]

The Supreme Court just handed down a decision interesting in several ways, but the substance is key: Offensive trademarks cannot be denied legal registration due to being offensive. The plaintiff in the case was not someone commonly known but the issue applies to the Washington Redskins, a National Football League team and various other parties […]

This case is big in the news now, but with all the all else happening in the news, this segment is a Beyond The Norm, when it could easily have been done on the show! A sign of busy times! The facts of the case are: Two teens are in a relationship. Both are troubled […]

The federal government (and especially the Obama Administration) has taken as tough a line as possible on guns – given Congress and the courts – and today’s case puts that into an interesting light. When the new #TrumpUniversityAdministration came in, they inherited, of course, all the cases then ongoing through the federal system and this […]

We saw the power of social media when, in 2012, Rush Limbaugh’s show was beset by advertiser losses, due to complaints about his content. We saw it again, recently, with Fox dumping Bill O’Reilly and now Sean Hannity is under the same attack. It has gone much further than talk radio, however, and is now […]

They are called “bricks and mortar” stores because they are, well, physical buildings made of bricks and mortar! And, they are in deep financial trouble. The Internet is eating their sales alive and many are shutting down. We’ll look at the carnage (lots of disturbing numbers) and the future of retailing, today, when we go […]

I recently traded in my old gas-guzzler for a plug-in electric car. But, it was not cheap and this is the knock on a lot of the eco-friendly cars. Even with incentives, the prices can be high but there are ways to combat this and those ways are expanding! The future is getting better and […]
