Assault rifles are actually not guns at all — that’s according to MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, at least. During a morning segment of MSNBC Live, the host made the false, patently absurd claim during a discussion on repealing the Second Amendment. “Why do you need any assault rifles? An assault rifle is different than a gun. A hunting enthusiast and one who needs an assault rifle, those are two different things,” said Ruhle. Of course, assault rifles are actually not different than guns — they are guns. Additionally, prior to Ruhle going off script, she described the weapon used by the Texas church shooter as an “assault-type rifle.” The actual weapon ...

There have already been classes offered at colleges around the country relating to marijuana, including the legal issues surrounding legalization and how cannabis is portrayed in the media. Louisiana State University is even growing medical marijuana in a partnership with a private company. That’s all interesting, but no school has offered an entire degree program focused on the marijuana industry. Until now. Northern Michigan University, located in the state's remote Upper Peninsula, has launched a four-year program that allows students to graduate with a degree in Medical Plant Chemistry. The focus is not only on learning the biology and chemistry of marijuana, but also on ...

Road Pirates can now get a swathe of your spit if you “look” drugged, and the state media outlets love it. Starting November 8, if you live in Michigan, in one of these five counties – Berrien, Delta, Kent, St. Clair, and Washtenaw – then you might find yourself pulled over and coerced into having a drug test. The Michigan State Police will force you to pull your car over. They will then demand that you get your mouth swathed so they can test to see if you have taken any drugs. But don’t worry folks, it’s “legal.” This is a pilot program that was passed by your Michigan Legislature (if you live in Michigan) and signed by your Governor (if you live in ...

Somervell County, TX — A 27-year-old deputy was arrested after he admitted to getting drunk and unloading pistols into a Presbyterian church. Instead of being sent to prison for dangerously discharging a firearm in public and putting the lives of innocent people in danger, Somervell County Sheriff’s Deputy, William Cox will remain a free man. As the country reels from the horrifying shooting in Sutherland Springs and searches for answers as to why anyone would commit such a brutal mass murder, this former Texas cop proves he is above the law. Last week, Cox was given a sweet plea deal by prosecutors. In exchange for him pleading guilty to the charge of deadly conduct, he ...

On Breitbart News Sunday with SiriusXM hosts Joel Pollak and Rebecca Mansour, Breitbart News Executive Chairman Steve Bannon was sharply critical of the Bush family, referring to them as “the last Whigs” because “the Republican Party that they talked about is essentially over.” Bannon was referring to the Bush presidents attacking President Donald Trump in a new book, The Last Republicans: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship Between George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush by historian Mark Updegrove. “Listen, I try to be bad cop to President Trump’s good cop. He’s head of the Republican Party. He tries to stay above the fray.

MILL VALLEY (KPIX) — You could call it mother’s little helper. A new survey found that 20 percent of parents use pot. Emma Cunningham is one of them. She’s mom to 10-year-old Julian and 12-year-old Dylan. Keeping up with them isn’t easy, so she says to stay on her game she uses marijuana – regularly – and she isn’t shy about it. “It makes me present and calm and I have two boys, and they fight and they argue with me and so instead of reaching for a glass of wine here and there in the evening when I come home from work I can go downstairs, outside my door and vape,” said Cunningham. Forty-five-year-old Emma lives in Mill Valley, and she’s ...
Marijuana devastated Colorado, don’t legalize it nationally

Last week, Senator Cory Booker introduced the Marijuana Justice Act in an effort to legalize marijuana across the nation and penalize local communities that want nothing to do with this dangerous drug. This is the furthest reaching marijuana legalization effort to date and marks another sad moment in our nation’s embrace of a drug that will have generational consequences. Our country is facing a drug epidemic. Legalizing recreational marijuana will do nothing that Senator Booker expects. We heard many of these same promises in 2012 when Colorado legalized recreational marijuana. In the years since, Colorado has seen an increase in marijuana related traffic deaths, poison control ...

From Sept. 18 until Sept. 20, Bethea allegedly failed to notify the superintendent or police that students brought marijuana and weapons to school.

"Shout 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers." Who knew hijacker Mohammed Atta's parting words, discovered in his journal after the 9/11 attacks, would become a national punchline? The louder and more frequently jihadists around the globe shriek their signature battle cry, the more fervently multicultural apologists deny its meaning. They've transformed the Islamic supremacists' obvious and explicit call for violence into a bland utterance of peace as indiscernible and nonsensical as "Aloha Snackbar." With blood still fresh on the pavement in Manhattan after Tuesday's outbreak of Allahu Akbar-itis that took ...

By Justin Gardner “I would look outside my window just scared to death I would see a police officer and CPS here to take my kid.” It’s a nightmare made entirely by the State. A little girl would be snatched away from caring parents for doing nothing more than healing their daughter’s debilitating condition with a plant extract. Even though medical cannabidiol (CBD) is now legal in Indiana, Child Protective Services (CPS) was going to take 20-month-old Jaelah Jerger—because her parents chose to use legal CBD oil instead of a harmful pharma drug. Fortunately, and ironically, this assault was stopped in the nick of time by an Indiana state legislator. Jaelah suffered ...

Porterville, CA — The State knows no empathy, logic, or reason and will enforce its most asinine decrees—even if it means targeting an innocent five-year-old girl’s lemonade stand. Without resistance, this encroachment upon our everyday activities is as inevitable as the tide. In Porterville, California, a family is learning this harsh reality of the State after they were issued a citation from city hall for $59—the local fee for applying for a new license—plus a fine. Autumn Thomasson proudly set up the stand outside her family’s home last June as a means of raising money to buy a bicycle. She sold lemonade, candy, and snacks and raised a whopping ...

We were told the injuries were not serious. That wasn’t true. Some rib injuries can, in fact, be life-threatening. From what this article says about the injuries, it sounds to me like he had to be hit with an object, like a baseball bat. We’ll see. Also note the report that the FBI is trying to determine if a federal law was broken. Is it not easy to assess that a potentially fatal attack on a US senator is a federal crime? Via AP & Trib Live. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul was recovering Sunday from five broken ribs after he was assaulted by a neighbor who tackled him from behind at the senator’s Kentucky home, officials said. Senior Adviser Doug Stafford said it is unclear ...

New findings from a law enforcement reform group demonstrate that although Mayor Bill de Blasio claims to have ended marijuana sanctions, the NYPD continues to target individuals who have the drug on them. In a report released this week by the Police Reform Organizing Project, the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services determined that police are still arresting people for marijuana possession. In the first nine months of 2017, there have been more than 13,500 arrests, totaling 50 arrests a day. “While virtually all the numbers demonstrate that NYPD arrest practices are marked by waste and racial bias, the statistics that stand out for us involve arrests for misdemeanor marijuana ...
