Washington Post – by Stephen Dinan

Senators from both parties linked arms to defy Sen. Ted Cruz, overcoming his attempt to filibuster the stopgap spending bill, which allowed Democrats to add back in full funding for Obamacare and power the bill through the chamber and sending it back to the House.

“This is it. Time is gone,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said he will not negotiate with the House GOP anymore. “They need to accept what we just passed.”   Continue reading “Senate defeats Cruz filibuster, passes bill that funds Obamacare”

Beyond Chronic

I ran across the name John Novak this morning, and saw that he ran a site with the intriguing name of 420 Leaks, so I decided to look it up. Mr. Novak seems to be a lot like me in that he loves to pore through old information and records, finding fascinating tidbits that are useful for medical and legal arguments supporting cannabis.

So I started reading through some of his recent articles, and found this great article about the pre-1937 medicinal cannabis market. It quotes a U.S. Department of Agriculture farmer’s bulletin which gives some great hints for growing cannabis plants on a farm, describes how to properly process them for use in the drug market (!), and concludes with the fact that “The market price in January, 1927, for domestic cannabis (U.S.P.) was 23 to 33 cents a pound”. This was the fair, open market price before all the “reefer madness” hysteria we all know so well, so it’s untainted by ideology.   Continue reading “Legal Marijuana Should Cost $4.44 A Pound”

Get sent to jail in Arizona’s Maricopa County and you’ll be experiencing some serious life changes. And for those who eat meat, that includes going vegetarian.

County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is no stranger to controversy. Over the years, he has made seemingly countless numbers of national headlines. As recently as August, the five-time elected sheriff was in the news after announcing that his deputies would be required to carry firearms at all times, even while off duty.   Continue reading “Sheriff Joe Arpaio institutes cost-saving, vegetarian meals for inmates”

American Everyman – by Scott Creighton

According to the official story of the Navy Yard Shooting, Aaron Alexis went to the store the weekend before the shooting and bought a Remington 870 Express Tactical shotgun. They claim there is video of him making that purchase, but the FBI has that video so we’ll never see it.

Anyway, when I saw the images of the shotgun released by the FBI this past week, something jumped out at me: he bought what appears to be a used piece of crap shotgun?  Continue reading “Navy Yard Shooting: Suspect Bought a Rusty Used Gun? For $400? FBI Photos”

The Ugly Truth

Syrian president says West is only seeking to strip him of his chemical weapons in order to tip balance of power in Jerusalem’s favor

TIMES OF ISRAEL

Syria has deterrent weapons, more advanced than anything in its chemical arsenal, that could blindside Israel in mere moments, Syrian President Bashar Assad claimed Thursday.   Continue reading “Assad: We have weapons that could blindside Israel”

Tenth Amendment Center – by Mike Maharrey

In a recent column, Chris Hedges argued that his appeal to the Supreme Court will be “the last chance” to stop indefinite detention under the National Defense Authorization Act.

Sadly, history indicates his last stand will likely fail.

Hedges and his fellow plaintiffs put their faith in a branch of the federal government to limit the powers of the federal government.   Continue reading “We’ve Only Just Begun to Resist Indefinite Detention”

Free Press

U.S. journalists should be able to enter the country without fear of detention or intimidation.

But government authorities have been stopping journalists, whistleblowers and many other travelers on a regular basis, seizing their electronic devices and examining them without search warrants.   Continue reading “Demand That Attorney General Holder Stop the Harassment of Journalists”

The US Department of Justice spent millions of dollars purchasing small unarmed drones for domestic use over the last decade, but the department lacks a comprehensive policy for the unmanned aircraft — despite growing concern about their use.

In a report released Thursday, the DOJ’s inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, said the department’s agencies had an “uncoordinated approach” to their use of drones.    Continue reading “US Department of Justice spent millions on domestic drones”
