A gunmaker’s commercial that the National Football League’s rules prohibit from being broadcast during the Super Bowl is still going viral, and the ad’s creator says the company created the spot not only to promote the business, but to champion Second Amendment rights.

Daniel Defense, a manufacturer from Georgia, attempted to buy Super Bowl advertising time in several local media markets in November, but the ad was rejected because of NFL prohibitions against ads with “firearms, ammunition, or other weapons,” reports ABC News.    Continue reading “Banned Super Bowl Pro-Gun Ad Going Viral”

Hypoperfusion is simply decreased blood flow through an organ. Whether it is an internal organ like the kidney, a muscle or the brain, the organ will experience lower availability of oxygen (hypoxia) and nutrients, and will therefore function at a suboptimal level.  Cerebral hypoperfusion, therefore, is decreased blood flow to the brain – an organ with extremely high energy demands, and upon which our entire consciousness depends.   Continue reading “‘Gluten Brain’: Wheat Cuts Off Blood Flow To Frontal Cortex”

Stop-and-frisk is longstanding New York City policy. It’s blatantly racist. It targets Blacks and Latinos. It’s unconstitutional.

It violates privacy rights. In 2012 alone, nearly 700,000 people were affected. Ray Kelly was New York’s longest serving police commissioner.

He served from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2013. He lied calling stop and frisk effective. Clear evidence proves otherwise.   Continue reading “New York Ending Stop and Frisk?”

Care to start a bank run?

Uh, no, that’s illegal. But according to an economist at the same school our Illegal Alien in Chief attended, Harvard University, it might be wise to do so. The PBS article from yesterday should cause everyone to take a moment and pause to reflect:   Continue reading “Now You Can Panic: Economist Withdraws All of His Money from Bank of America”

It is just after New Year’s when 61-year-old unemployed software executive John Walters and I meet for coffee. We’re there to discuss his interest in moving from the “straight” world of corporate enterprise software sales to the rough and tumble, still embryonic legal cannabis industry.

John, a tall bespeckled northwesterner with close cropped hair, begins by telling me about a recent holiday gathering that he and his wife attended in their Shoreline, WA, neighborhood. Recreational marijuana is legal in Washington, but the social protocols of its use remain uncertain. “Do you fire up at the party?” John ponders. “Do you offer your host a box of joints?” The nuances of integrating legal marijuana use into polite society — and business life — are being worked out in living rooms and board rooms across Colorado and Washington.   Continue reading “Faces Of Legal Marijuana: Unemployed Software Salesman Goes For The Green…Rush”

“Hey Alan, let’s get a few things straight!!!

Weeks after spilling about 10,000 gallons of chemicals into West Virginia’s Elk River, chemical maker Freedom Industries reported another toxic leak Thursday at their facility in Charleston. Yet none of the material has reached the river, officials said.

Contractors for Freedom Industries hit an underground pipe with an excavator Thursday night, unleashing water and the same crude MCHM chemical that leaked from the company’s tank farm into the Elk River on Jan. 9. The earlier incident ultimately spoiled drinking water for around 300,000 nearby residents.   Continue reading “West Virginia’s Freedom Industries suffers another chemical spill”

The Transportation Security Agency was aware that, before they were even introduced, the full-body scanners used at airport security checkpoints were flawed, according to a former TSA agent who alleges employees regularly peered and laughed at travelers.

Jason Edward Harrington, who spent years for the TSA as he studied for a creative writing degree, wrote a long piece in Politico detailing the ineptitude and casual jokes that often came at the expense of the agency’s own inability to prevent an airplane hijacking.   Continue reading “‘Useless’ TSA scanners provided endless fodder for employees, former agent alleges”

The US State Department raised few objections to the environmental impact of the Keystone XL pipeline in a report released Friday, saying that the project won’t impact the pace of Canadian oil sands development and its contribution to climate change.

While the State Department took no position on the project and stopped short of recommending if the line should be built, it did claim the pipeline is more environmentally sound than other options.   Continue reading “Keystone pipeline won’t hurt environment much, US govt report says”
