The institute recently updated its ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ page about marijuana to include various studies revealing how cannabis “may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow” while also protecting normal, healthy cells.

“A laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in estrogen receptor positive and estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells showed that it caused cancer cell death while having little effect on normal breast cells,” the NCI stated. “Studies in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer showed that cannabinoids may lessen the growth, number, and spread of tumors.”   Continue reading “Marijuana Kills Cancer, Says National Cancer Institute”

If the government isn’t allowed to institute a gun ban then how can the government give my family that authority?

Under current California law, if a friend or family member claims that someone is a threat to himself or others, a “gun violence protection order” can be issued by the court against that person, and that person would have his firearms confiscated. He wouldn’t be allowed to possess any guns for a year after the protection order was given.   Continue reading “California Proposes 10-Year Gun Ban on Those Deemed by Family to be a “Threat””

A new report on the freedom of countries around the world ranks the United States 20th, putting countries like Chile and the United Kingdom ahead of the U.S.

Last year, the U.S. was ranked 17th, but a steady decline of economic freedom and “rule of law” has dropped the level of freedom, according to the Cato Institute, Fraser Institute and the Swiss Liberales Institut, which created the study together.   Continue reading “United States Drops In Overall Freedom Ranking”

The Washington Examiner reports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call to end birthright citizenship in the United States “could revive a similar proposal in Congress that has never gained traction despite past support from top leaders.” The article cites Democrat Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, (watch him in linked video) and House Speaker John Boehner, (R-OH), who is all over the map on any given subject on any given day. We can count on them for nothing.   Continue reading “Ending birthright citizenship = end to anchor babies”

While we’re somewhat used to seeing high school students attempting to combat their strict school dress codes, it’s less common for students’ mothers to slam their children’s high schools for such intense apparel regulations. Stacie Dunn, 43, from Versailles, Kentucky, is speaking out against the “ridiculous” dress code enforced at her daughter’s school after her daughter was sent home for a violation.

People are shocked at how Dunn’s daughter, Stephanie Hughes, violated the code. The high school senior attended school in ankle-length jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, and a sweater. Woodford County High School deemed the seemingly modest outfit inappropriate because it revealed the young woman’s clavicle.   Continue reading “A girl was sent home from school for showing collarbone and people are outraged”

The debate over global warming and climate change got uglier recently after California Gov. Jerry Brown of “no vaccine choice” fame insulted the intelligence – and genetic makeup – of everyone who disagrees with his premise that these phenomena are real.

Like all global warming alarmists, Brown – who was attending a “climate change summit” in Canada – made the same old tired, dire predictions of doom and gloom if the world continues to burn fossil fuels. But he also had a special descriptor for those who dare to call a hoax a hoax.   Continue reading “California governor says people who don’t buy into climate change agenda are genetically inferior ‘troglodytes’”
