The mainstream media is in a frenzy over claims that marijuana smoking is causing an epidemic of ‘man boobs’ (a relatively common condition known scientifically as gynecomastia).

The incredulous claim first got legs in late November when Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Melissa Dribben posed the question, “Do doobies make boobies?” Responding to her inquiry, area plastic surgeon Adrian Lo admitted that data on the subject is scarce. But he nonetheless argued, “[I]n my experience, it’s very simple. If you’re a guy and you’re worried about gynecomastia, you shouldn’t smoke pot because there’s a link.” To which Robert X. Murphy Jr., president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, added, “That is the prevailing opinion.”   Continue reading ““Do Doobies Make Boobies?” The Mainstream Media Wants You To Think So”

Almost 11 million people couldn’t find a job in November, and for those who don’t earn a paycheck, unemployment benefits work for the economy, too, a leading Democrat says.

“Economists agree that unemployment benefits remain one of the best ways to grow the economy in a very immediate way,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (R-Calif.) said at a news conference on Thursday.   Continue reading “Pelosi: Extending Unemployment ‘One of Best Ways to Grow the Economy’”

sage:  Do I see some shenanigans going on here?  Saudi Arabia rejects their seat on the UN Security Council and Jordan is elected to step into it (Story 1).  Meanwhile in Story 2, the US is sending missiles to Saudi Arabia in an effort to bring resolution to the Middle East because “…This region is dangerous, it’s combustible, it’s unstable…”  So, is this telling me that bringing in more weapons and having the US big brother influence is going to help bring peace?  Sorry, I don’t buy it.  It’s that kind of thinking that got us into our predicament in the first place.   Continue reading “Jordan Took UN Seat that Saudi Arabia Rejected, Then Saudi Arabia Got Missiles”

In 2011, a 13-year-old student in Albuquerque, New Mexico burped audibly in class (perhaps the school lunch didn’t agree with him). His instructor summoned the school resource officer, one of a new generation ofpolice officers and specially trained go-betweens stationed in school environments, and the student found himself booked into a juvenile detention facility. He had fallen victim to his school’s zero-tolerance policy, a framework used across the nation to crack down fast and hard on unwanted behaviors, but one that has resulted in what critics are calling a school-to-prison pipeline, as students are fast-tracked to juvenile courts for offenses like writing their names on desks.   Continue reading “Zero-Tolerance Policies in Schools are Often Destructive, Fueling a School to Prison Pipeline”

Duck Dynasty features a number of things that run against the grain of popular culture. They’re a strong family that runs their own business, which is based on their patriarch’s invention. They go to church. They don’t engage in microwave marriages to pop stars. Their daughters aren’t famous for sex tapes or appearances in men’s magazines. They hunt. With guns.

They also pray, and according to two of the show’s stars, Phil and Willie Robertson, the prayers caused some problems with the producers.   Continue reading “Duck Dynasty Stars: Producers ‘Told Us to Stop Praying to Jesus’ to Avoid Offending Muslims”

TylenolNatural News – by Jonathan Benson

It has been a common household name in over-the-counter pain relief for more than 50 years. But the popular painkiller drug Tylenol is getting a major labeling makeover following a string of personal injury lawsuits. According to the Associated Press (AP), so many Tylenol users these days are suffering major liver damage or dying that the drug’s manufacturer, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, has decided to put a large, red warning label on the cap that informs users about the drug’s risks.

Even when taken at recommended doses, acetaminophen, the primary active ingredient in Tylenol, can cause major damage to the liver, potentially leading to liver failure and even death. In fact, acetaminophen is currently the leading cause of sudden liver failure in the U.S., as its toxic metabolites have been shown to kill liver cells. The drug is so toxic that as many as 80,000 people are rushed to the emergency room annually due to acetaminophen poisoning, and another 500-or-so end up dead from liver failure.   Continue reading “Tylenol can kill you; new warning admits popular painkiller causes liver damage, death”

While every stoner dreams of having a badass ride made entirely out of weed, one automotive company has brought that concept one step closer to reality by developing a new hemp-based product that industry experts say will change the way automobiles are made by 2016.

Faurecia, which has become a major player in the global automotive market, ever since it hit the ground running in 1997, recently introduced a new hemp-based plastic called BioMat, which serves as a more environmental sound alternative to traditional injection-molded plastic.   Continue reading “Marijuana Motors: Automobiles Could Soon Be Made of Weed”

Federal authorities began righting the cars Monday morning as they started an exhaustive investigation into what caused a Metro-North commuter train rounding a riverside curve to derail, killing four people and injuring more than 60 others. A second "event recorder" retrieved from the train may provide information on the speed of the train, how the brakes were applied, and the throttle setting, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board said Monday.

Update: Prison Planet has just released the first video below: Was Paul Walker murdered by a drone strike? A drone strike would certainly explain the 2nd explosion as seen in the 2nd video below.

Conspiracy theorists are debating whether or not the surveillance camera footage below which shows Paul Walker’s car striking a tree proves a conspiracy or an accident. What stands out to some is that there appear to be two explosions in this footage. There appears to be an explosion at the moment of impact and a 2nd explosion a few moments later. You can clearly tell that this footage is sped up by the speed of the cars that go by after the explosion; how much time between the two? The event takes place on the far right hand side of the screen. Does a 1st then 2nd explosion prove foul play or a conspiracy?   Continue reading “Paul Walker: 2 Explosions Seen On Newly Released Surveillance Video Footage Of Crash?”

Did you know that Russia is building submarines that are so quiet that the U.S. military cannot detect them?  These “black hole” submarines can freely approach the coastlines of the United States without fear of being detected whenever they want.  In fact, a “nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles” sailed around in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks without being detected back in 2012.  And now Russia is launching a new class of subs that have “advanced stealth technology”.  Continue reading “New Russian Submarines Are So Silent That The U.S. Navy Calls Them “Black Holes””

After Candy Crowley asked Feinstein if Americans were “safer now than we were a year ago, two years ago,” Feinstein said, “I don’t think so…The numbers are way up. There are new bombs, very big bombs…There are more groups than ever. And there is huge malevolence out there.”   Continue reading “Al Qaeda Not On The Run? – Dianne Feinstein: Terror Threat Worse Than Ever Before”
