Michigan has barely made any money off marijuana. That ends next year. | Bridge Magazine:
"Nine years after the legalization of medical marijuana in Michigan, not only are the rules confusing, but state and municipalities with medical marijuana ordinances have made little revenue from the industry.
The product has not been taxed and the hundreds of dispensaries statewide are not yet legal, so no income tax has been collected, according to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
Cities such as Detroit have only collected money for issuing licenses for the businesses while the state has collected fees for medical marijuana cards.
By law, these funds are to be used to administer the program and do not go into the general fund..."

Obama administration used all its power to attack its opponents: Varney | Fox Business

Obama administration used all its power to attack its opponents: Varney | Fox Business:

"Let’s reverse that. Because there's been a turn, a new development. It now appears that the Obama administration did indeed use the machinery of government and all its power, to attack and disrupt its political opponents.

Susan Rice, who was President Obama’s national security advisor, was spying on the incoming Trump administration. She used her position in the intelligence services, to reveal the names of people who visited Trump Tower. That’s not right. "

What the $20 Trillion National Debt Means to You - Just Facts

What the $20 Trillion National Debt Means to You - Just Facts
"On September 8, 2017—the same day that Congress and President Trump passed a law suspending the federal debt limit until December—the official debt of the U.S. government surpassed the milestone of $20 trillion, reaching exactly $20,162,176,797,904.
To personalize that figure, it amounts to an average of $61,889 for every person in the United States, or $160,247 per household.
Adjusted for inflation, these debt burdens have been larger for the past year than ever recorded in the history of the U.S.:

To place the per-household federal debt in another context, it is 35% higher than the average consumer household debt of $118,271, including mortgages, car loans, credit cards, and student loans..."

Report: Standing Up to Pee Gives Boys an Unfair Advantage in Physics | Parenting

Report: Standing Up to Pee Gives Boys an Unfair Advantage in Physics | Parenting:

"Yes, you read the headline correctly. In the latest example of identity politics taken to its absurd end, three Australian college professors believe that "Playful urination practices – from seeing how high you can pee to games such as Peeball (where men compete using their urine to destroy a ball placed in a urinal) – may give boys an advantage over girls when it comes to physics.""

Tylenol Isn't So Safe, But At Least It Works, Right? | American Council on Science and Health

Tylenol Isn't So Safe, But At Least It Works, Right? | American Council on Science and Health
"(Part 2/2) See: Is Tylenol 'By Far the Most Dangerous Drug Ever Made?'

I'm not a big fan of Tylenol, which becomes rather obvious if you read the first part of this two-part series. 

For a drug that is so widely used, it is quite easy to consume enough, accidentally or otherwise, to take enough to suffer a toxic overdose due to irreversible liver damage.

But drugs cannot be judged by safety alone. 

Both the good and the bad - benefits and risks - must be taken into account to get the true measure of the quality of a drug. 

So if Tylenol isn't all that safe, you might expect that, at the very least, it should work well. Otherwise, why would so many people be taking it?

That's the $64,000 question, and here's the answer. 

In reality, Tylenol doesn't work very well at all, and there is plenty of evidence to back this up, especially in systematic Cochrane Reviews - highly regarded, evidence-based reviews that carefully evaluate the quality of data in multiple studies. Here are some representative analyses..."

$700 Billion Unpaid Mortgage Balances In Hurricane Harvey And Irma Disaster Areas | The Daily Sheeple

$700 Billion Unpaid Mortgage Balances In Hurricane Harvey And Irma Disaster Areas | The Daily Sheeple:
"Even as the damage from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma is still being tallied, a preliminary assessment released last week by Black Knight Financial Services estimated that as many as 300,000 borrowers in the vicinity of Houston could become delinquent on their loans and 160,000 could become seriously delinquent, or more than 90 days past due.
That number is roughly four times the original prediction because new disaster zones were designated and more homes flooded when officials released water from reservoirs to protect dams, according to CNBC’s Diana Olick.
In total, the number of mortgaged properties in Texas disaster zones is 1.18 million, with Black Knight adding that Houston disaster zones contain twice as many mortgaged properties than Katrina zones, with four times the unpaid principal balance.
...What about Irma?
According to a preliminary analysis by Black Knight released today, Florida FEMA-designated disaster areas related to Hurricane Irma include a whopping 3.1 million mortgaged properties.
...Combining the preliminary estimates for both Harvey and Irma suggests...$696 billion in notional mortgage values, which banks could be on the hook for if current occupiers decide to simply walk away..."

EXPOSED: Hillary Clinton Moved 800K From Her Campaign To Help Fund ANTIFA
"Hillary, who long during the campaign trail condemned “dark-money” Super-PACs, has funneled over 800K from her Campaign over to one of these very same outfits. 
It has been revealed that the failed presidential candidate’s Super-PAC, “Onward Together”, is heavily backing “resistance” and Alt-Left extremist groups such as ANTIFA.

In building investigations, Daily Caller first discovered that Hillary transferred a mass sum of money from her campaign over to Onward Together:

Clinton transferred $800,000 from her failed 2016 presidential campaign to Onward Together shortly before announcing the group’s launch in May, documents the campaign filed with the FEC reveal..."
