It seems the TBP visitor counts go up at the same rate as the National Debt. Considering this is a libertarian, anti-government, anarchist website, I’m not sure whether the visitor count increases are a good sign or bad sign for the country. I hope it means we are waking more people from their stupor to the reality of our situation. Welcome to 2013.

2 million visitors? That’s more than the population of Denver, Colorado (where they now have private pot smoking clubs). Well done. Maybe people are finally realizing the shit they hear and read from the MSM is propaganda, lies, and brainwashing.
We distribute the truth, no matter how awful and disturbing, and add plenty of sarcasm and humor to make it more palatable.

Report Says Modern Technology Contributes to Global Obesity Problem
As nations advance in terms of information and communication technology, the populations put on extra pounds, study shows
The findings of a new study suggest that a key factor in the growing incidence of obesity all over the world is the increasing amount of time that people spend using computers, playing video games and sitting in front of the television.

admin, thank you, for your tireless support of this great republic, it was financial sense that fed you to me and your coverage of the fourth turning has been transformational. As the years have passed, more so, the crisis is deepening and the statist vs. indivdual polarity is widening. The lines are drawn and TBP is reminiscent of the torch held aloft by lady libery herself. May the message of individual liberty and responcibility cotinue to grow and resonate so the true american spirt has a fghting chance on the other side of this turning. Your efforts in this regard are priceless, thank you.

Admin – You need to repeat whatever you did in April 2012. You would immediately hit the 300,000 unique visitor number.
If you can figure out how to make a paltry $0.10 per visitor you can retire and do this full time. Some astute businessman you are – all you attract are skinflints and tightwads.

Right now my weight is 250lbs, but my target weight is 215lbs.
According to the health schmucks at the hospital, that still leaves me severely overweight, however that was my prime weight in college and thats what I’m shooting for.
