I have already gone to the League City police with this information and they laughed at me. And I don't know where else to post this so here it is: What I know about October 7, 1983 (the night Hidi Villareal Fye disappeared) First, I would like to correct two incorrect statements in the book I just read about the Calder Road killing field (by Kathryn Casey). First, Hidi’s hair was not blonde (or curley) like the other victims, and the pay phone in front of the Plantation convenience store at Hobbs & 518 was NOT where Hidi disappeared from or made her last phone call from (as was the case with one of the other victims). The story begins six months before that when I got mad ...

I am compelled to write to the community after attending the town of Truckee Marijuana Workshops to hear comments regarding the potential for allowing dispensaries, cultivation, processing, and delivery services to exist within our town boundaries. While there is no turning back to recreational use of marijuana; there is opportunity to gauge whether this community should allow access to the product that layers risk to our children and youth. THE FACTS Marijuana is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, and under federal law, this classification has a high potential for abuse. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure centers of the brain; it is addictive in 9 percent of all users, in ...

A spokesperson for the University of Arizona claimed that they have no ties with a visiting scholar from France who identifies as a hippopotamus. Florentin Félix Morin, who is listed on the University of Arizona’s website as a visiting scholar, argued in the Journal of Theoretical Humanities that his hippo alter-ego has allowed him to navigate the world free from the constraints that “govern human bodies.” This article explores the formation of a tranimal, hippopotamus alter-ego. Confronting transgender with transpecies, the author claims that his hippopotamus “identity” allowed him to (verbally) escape, all at once, several sets of categorization that ...

'What world do you live in? Please step down,' actress Melanie Griffith tweeted. US President Donald Trump took to Twitter early Sunday morning to fire off a series of tweets touting the success of his "Make America Great Again" agenda "despite the distraction of the Witch Hunt."

It’s the bottom of the ninth for cash-strapped Charlie Sheen, who is selling two pieces from his prized Babe Ruth memorabilia collection in the wake of money woes over his HIV-positive status. Sheen, the hard-partying actor who crashed and burned along a fast-paced road littered with prostitutes and drugs, revealed himself as the man behind the sale of Ruth’s 1927 World Series ring, and the 1919 sales contract that sent the pitcher and slugger from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees, according to ESPN. Although Sheen’s revelation doesn’t mention his ...

On Monday the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) let stand a Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Pennsylvania ruling which protects Second Amendment rights following non-serious misdemeanor convictions. The issue revolved around Binderup v. the U.S. Attorney General, a case brought by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) on behalf of Daniel Binderup. He “pleaded guilty in 1996 to a misdemeanor charge related to a consensual relationship he had with a 17-year-old female employee,” receiving “three years’ probation and a $300 fine.” Since the crime could have resulted in jail time of over one year–triggering a “federal gun law blocks firearms ...

Trump Can Win Travel Ban Case at Supreme Court Simply by Enforcing It

Monday’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to lift the injunction against most of President Donald Trump’s “travel ban” is a major victory — and not just because he will be able to implement the policy, but because the case is only scheduled to be heard in the fall, i.e. in October at the earliest. Because most of the controversial provisions of the executive order only last 90 days, Trump it could be fully implemented before the Court hears the case. The Court is prevented from hearing disputes that are already moot. There must be an active case or controversy in order for challenges to the executive order to be heard. The second version of Trump’s ...

Supreme Court Orders States to List Same-Sex Parents on Birth Certificates; Gorsuch Dissents On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution requires states to list married same-sex couples on their children’s birth certificate. The per curiam decision marks a landmark victory for gay rights, confirming that the court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges protects all rights relating to marriage, not simply the recognition of marriage itself. In Obergefell, the court held that the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the 14th Amendment require states to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples “on the same terms and conditions as opposite-sex couples.” ...

Federal ‘OPT’ Program Rewards Companies For Hiring 330,000 Foreign College Grads in 2016 by Neil Munro 21 Jun 2017 The federal government quietly helped and rewarded companies and universities which hired roughly 330,000 cheap foreign graduates in 2016 instead of hiring American graduates, many of whom are deep in debt. The little-known “Optional Practical Training” program has grown from 91,140 new foreign job-seekers in 2009 to 329,158 new job-seekers in 2016, according to data provided by the Department of Homeland Security. That is almost a four-fold increase in seven years — and the program is growing even larger in 2017. There is no cap on the OPT ...

Thousands of people who fled to Canada to escape President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal migrants have become trapped in legal limbo because of an overburdened refugee system, struggling to find work, permanent housing or enroll their children in schools. Refugee claims are taking longer to be completed than at any time in the past five years, according to previously unpublished Immigration and Refugee Board data provided to Reuters. Those wait times are set to grow longer after the IRB in April allocated “up to half” of its 127 tribunal members to focus on old cases. The number of delayed hearings more than doubled from 2015 to 2016 and is on track to increase again ...

When Hamza Warsame fell six floors to his death in December, 2015, the social media was abuzz with suggestions of a hate crime against the Muslim teen. Warsame, an immigrant from Somalia, was living in Seattle and had been invited to the 21-year- old classmate’s apartment. Hamza Warsame. The 16-year-old killed himself after using only once, a reflection of the high potency of today’s pot.

She talked of his life and the problems marijuana cause for their family at her home in Prescott, Ariz. on April 4, 2017.

The study also found that stoners felt more alienated and like they were a burden to others. In 2017, warnings that smoking weed can kill you sound like ridiculous anti-drug propaganda. A new study, however, has taken a serious look into the link between heavy cannabis use and suicidal ideation. Researchers at Louisiana State University found that daily weed smokers reported having more suicidal thoughts than less frequent users. They also found that heavy smokers feel more alienated and more burdensome to others than people who smoke less often. The study surveyed 209 undergraduates who had used cannabis in the past month before the study took place. (A large number of the participants, ...
MARIJUANA USE IS LINKED TO INCREASED SUICIDE RISK

Marijuana-related suicide is a controversial topic because other websites include commenters who claim marijuana saved their lives. Pot interferes with the reward center of the brain, just like cocaine, alcohol and heroin. So when someone dependent on the drug doesn’t have it, their depression or anxiety becomes stronger than previously. After prolonged use, the brain eventually doesn’t function as well. For this reason, it’s much wiser to rely on yoga, counseling, walking, and other exercise for depression and anxiety. (Others will say that anti-depressants are safer, although we won’t actually endorse them, and don’t think they’re always necessary.) ...

DENVER (AP) — A recent insurance study links increased car crash claims to legalized recreational marijuana.
