An Arizona sheriff’s department says some of the marijuana bales that suspects tossed out of an SUV during a high-speed chase last week got picked up by passing vehicles.

Dash-cam video released by the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office shows many of the 21 bales of pot inside the SUV flying out a window and onto roadways during the March 4 chase. Several of the bales broke apart as they bounced on the pavement.   Continue reading “Passing cars pick up some pot bales tossed from fleeing SUV”

The 127-ton tractor-trailer that derailed an Amtrak train at a railroad crossing in North Carolina was about three times the size and weight of a standard 18-wheeler, so huge it required a Highway Patrol escort, and so tall that it had to take back roads around some Interstate overpasses.

Authorities say the truck driver involved in Monday’s crash that injured 55 people was struggling to negotiate a tight left-hand turn across the tracks from one two-lane highway to another with this enormous load when the passenger train came roaring around a curve in the tiny community of Halifax.   Continue reading “Amtrak train hit tractor-trailer too big for I-95”

Edwin Gray likes smoking cigarettes, but a Superior Court judge in Washington D.C. has ruled Gray can’t smoke anything in his home – including marijuana, which was recently legalized in the District.

Gray’s neighbors filed a civil lawsuit against Gray and his sister, Mozella Johnson, who lives in the family home. The neighbors, a couple with one child and another on the way, alleged in their lawsuit that they’re being harmed by Gray’s smoke – which permeates their home through a hole in the basement.   Continue reading “Judge Bans Man From Smoking In His Own Home”

The 1789 Joint Resolution of Congressproposing the amendments is on display in the Rotunda in the National Archives Museum. Ten of the proposed 12 amendments were ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures on December 15, 1791.

In 1992, 203 years after it was proposed, Article 2 was ratified as the 27th Amendment to the Constitution. Article 1 was never ratified.    Continue reading “Bill of Rights including the Preamble”

United States History

The Anti-Masonic Party was the original third party to be active on the national scene. Popular opinion in America generally opposed secret organizations, but Freemasonry largely escaped this scrutiny because so many prominent citizens were members.

Exemption from criticism ended for the Masons in 1826. In that year a bricklayerfrom Batavia, New York, William Morgan, disappeared. He had formerly been a Mason and was on the verge of publishing an exposé of Masonic secrets. Ties between Morgan~ez_rsquo~s disappearance and the Masons were never established, but critics use the event to turn their wrath on the fraternal organization.   Continue reading “The Anti-Masonic Party”

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has issued an apology for angering Americans by claiming there is already a ban in place on AR-15 “green tip” ammo.

The claim was made in an online regulations guide posted in January. The guide failed to list .223-caliber M855 ammo as currently exempted from a ban on armor piercing ammunition.   Continue reading “Ammo Ban: ATF Apologizes For Omitting ‘Green Tip’ From Exemption List”

There are treatments that can heal vaccine damage, but few physicians in the conventional medical care system know about them, since vaccine injuries are usually denied as the cause of any illness. Some parents with autistic children report that homeopathy has completely reversed their children’s autism and healed other serious health conditions caused by vaccines. This article explains how homeopathic remedies can bring about healing for many types of vaccine injuries.

Homeopathy is not the only treatment that has helped children and adults recover from vaccine damage, but it is the one that is the focus of this article. I will describe how homeopathy can bring about a true cure for the harm that vaccines have caused to children and adults.   Continue reading “Healing from Vaccine Injuries through Homeopathy”

Residents of the Big Apple could start earning big bucks if an anti-idling bill to award New Yorkers for filming law breakers is approved by the City Council.

If adopted, the bill would establish a program that could let New York City residents earn cash rewards in exchange for submitting video evidence of people caught violating the city’s already strict anti-idling laws.   Continue reading “NYC bill would let residents earn money by recording idling cars”

A majority consumers say they’ll keep their savings at a local bank (57% vs. 55% in 2014) but more than half of those who keep their savings in cash plan to hide bills in a secret location at home (53%).

Dena Reynolds called everyone she thought could help.

A helicopter last July sprayed herbicides to control weeds on a forest clearcut a few hundred feet behind her house.

Soon, fumes enveloped her home, which sits on 40 acres in Douglas County, the heart of Oregon’s timber industry. Helicopters have sprayed weed killers there more frequently than in any other Oregon county in the last decade.   Continue reading “Oregon agriculture agency blew off another complaint about helicopter spraying weed killers”

The launch is expected in September or October, depending on how tests go, a source told Reuters. Another person with direct knowledge of the matter said the goal is to start the first phase before December, Reuters reported.   Continue reading “China’s mega international payment system is ready, will launch this year – report”

BOSTON (AP) — Charla Nash never served in the military. She was horribly disfigured, not in combat, but in a 2009 attack by a rampaging chimpanzee. The Pentagon, though, is watching her recovery closely.

The U.S. military paid for Nash’s full face transplant in 2011 and is underwriting her follow-up treatment at a combined cost estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, in the hope that some of the things it learns can help young, seriously disfigured soldiers returning from war.   Continue reading “US military hopes to learn from victim of chimp attack”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Democrats on Tuesday accused Senate Republicans who signed a letter to Iran’s leadership of undermining President Barack Obama in international talks aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear program and preventing the need for future military conflict.

In remarks on the Senate floor, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., pronounced the letter reckless, much as it would have been for U.S. lawmakers to “reach out to the Vietnamese” a generation ago. He said he hoped it would not cause the negotiations to fail, adding that an attempt to avoid a nuclear-armed Iran “is something that should not be undermined for political ambition.”   Continue reading “Democrats denounce GOP letter on Iran nuke talks”

According to the payroll jobs report today (March 6) the economy created 295,000 new jobs in February, dropping the rate of unemployment to 5.5%. However, the BLS also reported that the labor force participation rate fell and the number of people not in the labor force rose by 354,000.

In other words, the unemployment rate dropped because the labor force shrunk.

If the economy was in recovery, the labor force would be growing and the labor force participation rate would be rising.   Continue reading “Another Dubious Jobs Report”
