The Trump Administration is looking into altering how it determines the national poverty level, which may put some Americans at risk of losing access to welfare programs, according to Bloomberg. The move might occur from changing how inflation is calculated in the “official poverty measure” according to a regulatory filing by White House Office of Management and Budget. That formula has been used for decades to try and determine where the poverty line is and what people qualify for social programs and federal benefits.   Continue reading “Trump Plans To Redefine Poverty, Cutting Americans From Welfare”

Choose a spray, choose a lotion, but by heavens, choose something! Legions of doctors, parents, and YouTube beauty influencers are unanimous on this point. But with sunscreen application evolving from a week or two at the beach every year to a constant daily slather, US health regulators want to know more about how all those photoprotective chemicals interact with people’s skin.

I’ve just finished reading about another shooting in Denver, Colorado. Supposedly, another 18 year old teen shooter was one of two suspects involved in a Highlands Ranch, Colorado school shooting, 1 dead 7 injured. To me, this rings hollow. This type of thing has been going on for years, so much so that we just breeze over the headlines. As I was reading this I starting thinking to myself, what kind of video games do these supposed shooters play at home with their friends?    Continue reading “True Patriotic Video Games About The Bill of Rights?”

As if you need another reason to love Willie Nelson, news has recently surfaced that the musician and marijuana activist is also a horse lover. He’s so fond of them that he rescued 70 horses from being slaughtered. They now roam on his 700-acre ranch in Texas.

The country musician spends most of his time at Luck Ranch when he’s not on the road. The ranch is home to him and the name “Luck” suits in more ways than one. Nelson told Paul Venema from KSAT 12 News, “When you’re here, you’re in Luck, and when you’re not, you’re out of Luck.”   Continue reading “Willie Nelson Rescued 70 Horses From a Slaughterhouse to Let Them Roam Free on His Ranch”

Medical marijuana, also known as cannabis, is taking the medical world by storm. Most commonly considered to be no more than a derivative of the recreational drug, medical marijuana is a known treatment for conditions like chronic pain and epilepsy (1). Research is exploring how cannabis is useful in combating conditions like anorexia, nausea, pain, insomnia, and depression. Studies are beginning to show the possibility of cannabinoids not only acting as a powerful treatment for the negative side effects of chemotherapy but also having a direct anti-cancer effect on the body.

Do you want to know America’s future after the Dollar Dies? Look at the case of Chris Dorner and multiply that by 10,000. Dorner had sent his manifesto to Anderson Cooper at CNN on February 1 ,2013. His killing spree began on February 3rd.  Dorner wanted the LAPD to publicly admit that he was dismissed because he reported excessive force.

He killed 4 people and wounded 3 others despite having sent a manifesto to the news media so they knew who to look for. He had a list of 40 names on his “Bad Boy” list. Every one of them was assigned a security detail. Every motorcycle officer was taken off their cycles to remove them as easy targets.  Continue reading “Chris Dorner Times 10,000”

A bill working its way up through Maine’s state legislature Friday is calling for words like “he” and “him” to be scrubbed out of the wording of its laws – and instead be replaced with more gender-neutral terms.

Rep. Matt Moonen, a Democrat, says he wrote the bill after reading through laws and finding references to mostly male figures in positions of authority. Continue reading “Maine legislators push to remove ‘he’ and ‘him’ from state’s laws and replaced with gender-neutral terms”

Waller County, TX — In 2015, the United States got a glimpse into the deadly nature of the police state and how a traffic stop over failure to signal can and will lead to death. Sandra Bland — who died in jail after being arrested over failure to use her blinker — became the symbol of America’s horrific problems of in-custody deaths over ridiculous arrests. Now, after nearly four years and no indictments, we are learning that Bland filmed her own arrest that fateful day and her video has been suppressed ever since.  Continue reading “‘Open Up the Case’: Sandra Bland’s Family Cites ‘Cover Up’ After Suppressed Video Released”

The idea of “Smart Diapers” for babies dates back a few years.   As noted in a recent Vox article, Huggies is now selling them in Korea and Japan and the U.S. and Mexico may be getting them next.

More companies are interested in creating and marketing these diapers as well as other “Smart” personal care products.  Besides being expensive, Bluetooth technology emits harmful wireless radiation and there is currently no safe level of wireless radiation exposure that has been determined for children or pregnant women.  In fact, 250 scientists have signed a petition which warns against numerous devices that emit Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation, which is used in WiFi and Bluetooth.  Continue reading “Huggies Now Selling Smart Diapers With Bluetooth Sensors Even Though Radiation Exposure From Them Isn’t Safe for Babies”
