You're giving away all your data for that free email accountI don’t trust Big Tech and you shouldn’t, either. You’ve heard me say for years that free email services like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t really free. There’s a big price to pay — your privacy. These free email sites scan, analyze and save details of every email you send and receive, giving Big Tech a very intimate and detailed profile of you so they can easily sell your data to the highest bidder. That’s why I use StartMail. With StartMail, I can send encrypted emails with one click, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption. And StartMail never scans or analyzes your emails. Best of all, when you delete an email, it’s gone — forever. Don’t trust Big Tech with your data and privacy. Go to StartMail.com/Kim today for a seven-day free trial and 50% off your first year. → |

And finally ...The 60-year space race between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union almost had a very different outcome. For decades, ideas were developed for space defense that would eventually grow into President Reagan’s “Star Wars” laser system concept. The Soviets had their own plans, from orbital planes and missile systems to laser-equipped battle stations, which have been declassified and posted online. |
