What do Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, Justin Bieber, Maya Angelou and well over 100 million Americans all have in common? They’ve all smoked pot. Throughout its history, marijuana has attracted plenty of unexpected users and proponents. And much of the history of greenery is now familiar to us—thanks to History Channel specials, the burgeoning legalization movement and the popularity of anti-pot propaganda films like Reefer Madness. But even if you’re intimately familiar with the plant in all its forms, we’re willing to wager that some of these facts will surprise you.   Continue reading “10 Things You Didn’t Know About the History of Marijuana”

The Ebola crisis is forcing the American healthcare system to consider the previously unthinkable: withholding some medical interventions because they are too dangerous to doctors and nurses and unlikely to help a patient.

U.S. hospitals have over the years come under criticism for undertaking measures that prolong dying rather than improve patients’ quality of life.   Continue reading “Some U.S. hospitals weigh withholding care to Ebola patients”

A woman in Rochester, New York recently exercised her Constitutional right to be a jerk.

Kimberly Edson photographed a man who exercised his own Constitutional right – the right to bear arms.  She placed the photo on a poster in her front yard, “warning” the other parents: “This man carries a loaded gun around your children every day.”

Chilling photo, isn’t it? (Please, note my sarcasm.)   Continue reading “The Right to Bear Arms vs. The Right to be Hysterical About It”

This is a lengthy article, DO NOT SURFACE READ. The actual treatment for ebola which will virtually eliminate fatalities, as revealed by a doctor who has worked with ebola, is below.

Consider this: The elite would never release a plague without an easy cure, and along with this ebola outbreak an American biowarfare firm has been working in Sierra Leon for the last five years. Google that. Sierra Leon has actually identified them as the perpetrators of this outbreak and kicked them out of the country. There is absolutely no doubt this outbreak was intentionally caused by the U.S. war department.   Continue reading “The treatment for ebola, along with accompanying MOA”

WKEF-TV ABC 22 News :: News - Top Stories - No Refusal OVI Checkpoint Planned in Clark CountyABC 22

SPRINGFIELD — The Clark County OVI Task Force will operate a No Refusal OVI checkpoint Friday, Oct. 24, in Clark County.

According to the task force, a “No Refusal Checkpoint” means that every car will be checked to ensure that drivers are not impaired. If there is sufficient probable cause to believe that a driver is operating a vehicle while impaired, law enforcement will seek a blood search warrant from a “neutral and detached magistrate.”   Continue reading ““No Refusal” Blood Draw Checkpoint Planned in Clark County, Ohio”

Some of President Obama’s most ardent supporters have accused Republicans of “politicizing” the Ebola crisis. It’s not a terribly serious accusation; a public health emergency requires the response of many government agencies, so how could politics not be involved? There’s nothing wrong with that.

One specific charge, though, deserves an answer. The Ebola scare has made many Americans aware that there is no U.S. surgeon general. (The post is filled by an acting official who is not in line for the job.)   Continue reading “Why is there no surgeon general? Ask Democrats”

Earlier this week, the federal government’s National Science Foundation, an entity created to encourage the study of science — encouragement that it achieves by awarding grants to scholars and universities — announced that it had awarded a grant to study what people say about themselves and others in social media. The NSF dubbed the project Truthy, a reference to comedian Stephen Colbert’s invention and hilarious use of the word “truthiness.”

The reference to Colbert is cute, and he is a very funny guy, but when the feds get into the business of monitoring speech, it is surely no joke; it is a nightmare. It is part of the Obama administration’s persistent efforts to monitor communication and scrutinize the expressions of opinions it hates and fears.   Continue reading “Chilling Free Speech”

Caldwell Police have launched an internal investigation into some of its own after an On Your Side viewer reached out with claims of police wrong doing.

Joe Dondero says back in August he and a group of friends were showing of their biking talents at the Plaza Skate Park in Caldwell when an officer approached them for being in the park after hours. The park closes at 11 p.m. The police report says the officer arrived at 11:12.   Continue reading “Idaho Cop Tells BMX Riders That They Don’t Have Rights Because They are Being Detained”

Southern Oregon University administrators told students that they couldn’t freely distribute copies of the Constitution out in the open, on public university property. Officials tried to usher the students indoors, to the preposterously unconstitutional “free speech zone” where political activity is deemed permissible.

The students, who wish to start a Students for Concealed Carry chapter at the university, recorded their interactions with various officials. The footage was published by Campus Reform. One telling exchange with an administrator who defended the free speech zone:   Continue reading “How Does This Still Happen? Southern Oregon U. Students Not Allowed to Distribute Constitutions”

EDWARD SNOWDENHuffington Post – by Ned Simons

Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower who revealed the extent of American and British surveillance programmes, should be charged with murder, according to a senior United States congressman.

Republican Mike Rogers, the chairman of the House of Representatives intelligence committee, told a meeting in the House of Commons in London on Tuesday evening that Snowden was a “traitor” who was now living in the “loving arms” of Russian spies.   Continue reading “Edward Snowden Should Be Charged With Murder, Says Congressman Mike Rogers”

The Obama Democrats want AmnestyMilitia News – by Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh

The ISIS threat has already been forgotten and the Ebola crisis has been dumped in the lap of the Department of Defense. Climate change has been declared to be the number one threat to our national security. The next manufactured crisis to be resolved is amnesty by fiat.

Soldiers, highly trained to fight wars only, will provide medical containment expertise, testing for Ebola, and hermetic and cremation mortuary services, in place of the local burial rites that have contributed to the rapid spread of Ebola.   Continue reading “The Obama Democrats want Amnesty for 34 Million Illegal Aliens”

A GRANDMOTHER has spent thousands of pounds making her home wi-fi proof to protect her health.

Stefanie Russell, 72, from Steyning, claims radiation from wi-fi internet and mobile phone signals give her headaches and nausea which make it impossible for her to be near some types of technology.

She believes her symptoms are caused by electro-sensitivity, which makes her so ill she cannot travel on buses because of the number of portable devices being used.   Continue reading “Gran spends nearly £4,000 to protect her house against wi-fi and mobile phone signals”

The Odessa massacre is the other shoe, along with MH17, and the discovery of mass graves proving war crimes in East Ukraine, which is waiting to drop.

The facts about these three issues are going to go mainstream, and when they do, support for Kiev, inside and outside Ukraine, is going to evaporate quickly.   Continue reading “Excellent US Mini-Documentary Details Kiev’s Collusion in Odessa Massacre”

A friend of mine who works for Citibank came into the same restaurant for lunch that I happened to be having lunch in on Tuesday.

We got to talking and she was explaining how all the tellers were having to perform the customer’s transactions the old fashioned way . . . by hand. She was hoping her drawer would balance at the end of the day.

I asked her why and she said because the computers were down all day. I did a search today and sure enough, this is what I found:   Continue reading “Computer Glitches”

Frequent reports in the media of civilian shelling can be desensitizing.  After the 20th headline, one just isn’t shocked the way one was the first time one hears of it.

The mind involuntarily, callously murmurs, “so what else is new?”

Well here is a video to remind one what this shelling actually entails.   Continue reading “What Shelling of Civilians Looks Like Up Close”

The West’s case blaming Russia for the shoot-down of a Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine last July appears to be crumbling as the German foreign intelligence agency has concluded that the anti-aircraft missile battery involved came from a Ukrainian military base, according to a report by the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel.

The Obama administration and other Western governments have pointed the finger of blame at Russia for supposedly supplying a sophisticated BUK missile system to ethnic Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine who then allegedly used the weapon on July 17 to shoot down what they thought was a Ukrainian military plane but turned out to be Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, killing all 298 people onboard.   Continue reading “German Intelligence Clears Russia of Responsibility for MH17 Tragedy”
