For many years, the federal government has subsidized studies designed to prove the negative effects of marijuana, while blocking inquiry into its potential benefits. Ironically, the government’s steadfast search for harm has yielded remarkable scientific insights that explain why cannabis is such a versatile remedy and why it is the most sought-after illicit substance on the planet.

Cannabis and the unique chemical compounds produced by the plant, called cannabinoids, have been at the center of one of the most exciting—and underreported—developments in modern science. Research on marijuana’s effects led directly to the discovery of a molecular signaling system in the human brain and body, the endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating a broad range of physiological processes: hunger, sleep, inflammation, stress, blood pressure, body temperature, glucose metabolism, bone density, intestinal fortitude, reproductive fertility, circadian rhythms, mood and much more.   Continue reading “Marijuana Miracle: 5 Exciting New Discoveries About Pot”

This is local to my area.

A little back ground on this one. This girl was kidnapped at a daycare while picking up her child. Someone saved the child in the parking lot, but the girl was still taken. cops could not find her, even with their stupid drones, dogs and search teams, so the family went into action. The family member that found them killed the kidnapper and no charges will be filed. But you can bet that the DA is trying to figure out a way to bring charges. If he does the jury here will not convict, I guarantee it.   Continue reading “Deputies: Scott Thomas Likely Died from a Gunshot Wound from Arceneaux’s Relative”

In the wee hours of the morning on September 13th, Air Force Sgt. Matt Pinkerton and his wife were entertaining guests at their home when an acquaintance of Mrs. Pinkerton’s came knocking.

It was 2 AM. After being told to leave by Matt Pinkerton, who closed the door, Kendall Green decided that he’d kick it in and force his way into the home.   Continue reading “Shoot First or Call 9-1-1: What Would You Do If Someone Kicked In Your Door?”

November is National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month and the serious issues of cognitive health will be in the spotlight in the coming weeks. The medical community agrees that cognitive impairment (CI), ranging from mild to severe, is almost epidemic in the U.S. as the Baby Boomer generation is aging and living longer. Scientists believe one reason is that the human brain begins shrinking after age 25. Structural changes and loss of brain synapses lead to rapid decline in cognitive health.   Continue reading “Magnesium Levels Vital to Brain Health as Population Ages”

Sweat like a pig? Now you can smell like one too: literally.

A Seattle company has introduced bacon deodorant, Power Bacon, which goes on sale today in a handy deodorant stick. Try not to sweat too much while you’re wearing it though, or you’ll be covered in unappetizing bacon grease.

In a world filled with bacon-flavored beer, bacon-wrapped cars and bacon bandages, it would be an understatement to say we’re obsessed with the cured pork product. One 105-year-old Texan even credited it for her longevity earlier this year, telling a reporter, “I love bacon. I eat it everyday.”   Continue reading “How to Stay Single Forever: Wear This New Bacon-Scented Deodorant”

One of the more offensive duties of being an investigative journalist is taking out the trash — exposing liars, fraudsters, con artists and scammers for the people they truly are. Each time we investigate a sociopath, we find that they always have a little cult group following of spellbound worshippers who consider that particular sociopath to be a “guru” or “prophet.”

Sociopaths are masters at influence and deception. Very little of what they say actually checks out in terms of facts or reality, but they’re extremely skillful at making the things they say sound believable, even if they’re just making them up out of thin air. Here, I’m going to present quotes and videos of some legendary sociopaths who convinced everyday people to participate in mass suicides. And then I’m going to demonstrate how and why similar sociopaths are operating right now… today.   Continue reading “How to spot a sociopath – 10 red flags that could save you from being swept under the influence of a charismatic nut job”

Now – not after the tar sands spigot is turned on – is the time to support the efforts of courageous Texas landowners who could stop Keystone XL’s administration-approved southern leg in its tracks.

Twenty-five environmental leaders recently signed on to an open letter to President Obama urging him to avoid any “deal-making” with the Canadian government and to reject a presidential permit for Keystone XL’s proposed northern leg. As the letter remarked: “Building Keystone XL will expand production in the tar sands, and that reality is not compatible with serious efforts to battle climate change.”   Continue reading “Obama Must Be Called Out, Not Coddled, on Keystone XL Bait-and-Switch”

A Texas farmer has won an entry of default against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which failed to respond to a federal lawsuit claiming it illegally granted environmental permits to TransCanada Corp. (TRP)’s Keystone XL pipeline.

Michael Bishop, a farmer in Douglass, about 150 miles northeast of Houston, said he will ask U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Giblin, in Lufkin, Texas, to invalidate the pipeline’s permits and order the Army Corps to conduct public hearings that it skipped before issuing water-crossing permits to Keystone, which will transport Canadian tar-sands crude to refineries on the Texas Gulf coast.   Continue reading “Texas Farmer Wins Entry of Default in Keystone Lawsuit”

J.P. Morgan Electronic Financial Services is the country’s single biggest food stamp services provider, and at the same time is giving increasingly large donations to the very politicians in charge of the food stamp program.

This common incestuous relationship, along with the food stamp chaos recently seen across the country, highlights the corruption of America’s “ruling class,” charges Boston University professor emeritus and bestselling author Angelo Codevilla.   Continue reading “How big bankers profit from food stamps”

Engineers at Duke University have designed a breakthrough gadget that ‘harvests’ background microwave radiation and converts it into electricity, with the same efficiency as solar panels.

The development, unveiled on Thursday, raises exciting possibilities such as recharging a phone wirelessly and providing power to remote locations that can’t access conventional electricity.   Continue reading “New invention ‘harvests’ electricity from background radiation and could be used to beam power to remote locations or recharge phones wirelessly”
