Onlookers say the odds of it happening are unlikely, but voters in several counties throughout Colorado could decide to secede from the rest of the state this Election Day.
A measure that would set in motion a plan for North Colorado to become the fifty-first state is on the ballot in 11 counties there this Tuesday, but even passing that initiative won’t mean there’ll be a new star added to the American flag anytime soon.

Bill de Blasio will be the next mayor of the nation’s largest and most important city.
He will be the first Democratic mayor of New York City since 1993, when Rudy Giuliani defeated David Dinkins amid high crime rates and racial strife. De Blasio worked in Dinkins’ City Hall, and prior to that volunteered with the radical socialist Sandinista movement in Nicaragua.

The citizens of Washington State have voted against a bill that would have required the labeling of genetically altered foods, according to preliminary ballot results.
After becoming one of the first states to legalize recreational marijuana last year, Colorado set another new standard on Tuesday when voters approved a pot sales tax.
Recreational cannabis sales will have a 25 percent tax slapped on them starting Jan. 1, when retailers begin selling pot legally, with 15 percent of that being an excise tax to be used for public school construction projects and 10 percent being a special sales tax to fund enforcement of regulations on the retail marijuana industry.

I grew up in sunny California, and even though I have now lived in Utah for nearly 20 years, I still get this unsettled feeling whenever winter starts to settle in. When I think of how COLD it gets and the things that could potentially go wrong while on the road, or even at home should the power go out, I am reminded of how woefully prepared I am for such emergencies.

Americans in large numbers are embracing communism, whether it’s wittingly or unwittingly doesn’t really matter. By voting for progressive Democrats, they’re voting for communists. Well, this is how communists treat people once they gain complete control.
Jin [Hye Jo], 26, who has lived in the United States since 2008 and runs a charity for North Korean defectors, scoffed at the suggestion that the food shortages were due to natural causes, claiming that government officials drive BMWs and drink exotic whiskies while children die.

DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is derived from lignin, a binding substance of trees. The Crown Zellerbach Corporation, a mammoth lumber company, holds the patents on DMSO for use as an industrial solvent AND as a liniment for treating pain in horses. Crown Zellerbach licenses DMSO exclusively to Research Industries for marketing as a drug – called Rimso-50. Topically applied, DMSO has the unusual ability to act as a “chemical hypodermic needle”, which is to say that it is rapidly absorbed through the skin and can take with it other substances that ordinarily would not cross the skin’s barrier. DMSO is often used by alternative therapists to enhance the outcomes of other substances and therapies. (A health professional always needs to be consulted – no self-doctering here!)
Entering the body, either “painted” on the skin, taken orally, or via IV, DMSO rapidly penetrates into cells and cleans them of toxins, a desirable mechanism which may explain much of its versatility. Topically applied, DMSO produces a garlic-like taste in the mouth and a breath odor. Topical use can occasionally cause a rash, blistering, itching, hives, or skin thickening – especially when too much is used. Intravenous use can cause kidney damage and other adverse side effects andbe certain that the product you are using is medical grade (at least 99.9% pure) and not of industrial grade.)
