Progressives are denouncing a draft border-protection plan that would keep Central American adult migrants in border detention with their children for 20 days after they cross the border.

The 20-day plan is being developed as migrants, cartel smugglers, and pro-migration groups have collectively pushed the cross-border flow to a record level of 16,500 parent-and-child border-crossers in September. The plan will likely spur pre-election protests by pro-migration Democrats, was sketched in a Washington Post report:  Continue reading “White House Drafts Plan to Keep Migrant Families Unified in Detention”

News circulated recently that the DEA had rescheduled cannabidiol (CBD), the nonpsychoactive ingredient in cannabis, but the technicalities of the agency’s decision actually show their ruling is highly restrictive.

The decision concerned a recently FDA-approved pharmaceutical version of CBD, produced by GW Pharmaceuticals. Due to the federal government’s continued prohibition of cannabis, Epidiolex was prohibited from going to market unless the DEA rescheduled CBD. That’s what the agency did, leading some to believe that “since this FDA-approved medication is pure cannabidiol (CBD) that all CBD products fall into the same category,” Forbes noted.   Continue reading “DEA Grants Pharmaceutical Company Monopoly on Medical CBD”

You’d have thought marijuana legalization would have made life easier for pot growers in areas like Northern California with decades of expertise.

Instead, cannabis cultivators are grappling with industrialization issues as production that once was hidden in closets and deep forests becomes just another part of American agribusiness.   Continue reading “Marijuana growers wrestle with cannabis’ high-tech, industrial future”

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler came under fire over a viral video showing Antifa protesters blocking traffic and harassing drivers, but he says he supports the decision by police to watch from a distance without getting involved.

“I was appalled by what I saw in the video, but I support the Portland Police Bureau’s decision not to intervene,” he said at a Friday press conference. “This whole incident will be investigated.”   Continue reading “Portland mayor stands by decision to allow Antifa to block traffic, hassle motorists”

DRY CREEK, Fla.- Up a red dirt road in the center of the Florida Panhandle, past fields of ripening cotton, the piney woods looks like pick-up sticks. Some trees are bent like praying mantises, and the few power poles still standing lean at precarious angles, their wires doing loop-the-loops around outstretched limbs.

Until Saturday, when neighbors broke through with chainsaws and an excavator, the Lipford home, sitting on 160 acres the family has owned since the Civil War, was cut off from civilization. The only way into the property was on an all-terrain vehicle crossing the waterlogged pastures and over bridges built of wooden pallets.

This year the hurricanes were lined up like North Korean soldiers goose stepping across the South Atlantic, every year it has been getting worse, this last one ripped through the panhandle giving it the distinction of the worst ever seen in modern history. Michael came marching in at 150 MPH, a CAT 5.

How do hurricanes get worse every year? Is it because the elites are flying their private jets at altitudes that are destroying the ozone layer 4 times as fast as normal air traffic? Or could it be that HAARP is and has continued its destruction for over 20 years now, shooting harmful heat into the sky causing harmful weather to build, 10 times as fast as normal, for nothing more than the mammon machine to stuff cash into the elites’ pockets?   Continue reading “So You Want to Move to Florida, eh?”

Google supposedly wants to work with the best. Apparently, that includes 88-year-old leftist George Soros. (NewsBusters)

In the Google presentation, “The Good Censor,” leaked to Breitbart, the search media company cited 27 so-called “experts” for different aspects of digital freedom and online censorship. Among those experts were George Soros, a ProPublica article, New York Times editorial board member Sarah Jeong, former New Republic editor Franklin Foer, and Slate writer April Glaser. (ProPublica is one of many news entities funded by Soros. His Open Society Foundation gave at least $737,411 to the non-profit journalism group.)

Russia is urging Germany and France to break ranks with their American ally and help rebuild Syria so that refugees can go home, a senior adviser to the Russian government said.

There’s little prospect of a deal with the U.S., which is now vowing to keep troops in Syria until Iran withdraws, Vitaly Naumkin said in an interview. Russia is instead focused on efforts to organize a Syria summit in Turkey with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron. The plan is being held up by European demands for a transition away from Bashar al-Assad’s rule.   Continue reading “Russia Presses Europe to Break With Trump and Help Rebuild Syria”
