Cannabis plants could be the missing player in human's fight against climate change, as hemp can absorb carbon dioxide from the air more than twice as effectively as trees. Numerous studies have shown that hemp captures up to 16 tons of greenhouse gas annually, while trees suck up about six tons. The carbon dioxide also becomes permanently encased within hemp fibers that are used in a range of products - from textiles to medicines and car parts. Hudson Carbon, a New York research center that studies carbon storage, found that one acre of cannabis plants can store up to three...

Man who identifies as a baby gets kicked out of children's park (BARF ALERT he's wearing a onesie in the video)

A 33-year-old man is dead after he was fatally struck by a car when he ran into traffic chasing after a dog. The incident occurred at approximately 1 p.m. on Monday afternoon in Kingsport, Tennessee -- about 100 miles northeast of Knoxville -- when the Kingsport Police Department Traffic Unit responded to a call regarding a motor vehicle striking a pedestrian as it travelled north on Lynn Garden Drive, authorities said. It is unclear if the dog belonged to Johnson or what the circumstances were surrounding the incident and how the dog managed to get loose in the first place.

A Chinese man who sought treatment for a recurring urinary problem was shocked to find out that he had ovaries and had been menstruating for 20 years. **SNIP** Chen’s symptoms reportedly started soon after having corrective surgery for his irregular urination during puberty. He continued to experience symptoms for the past 20 years. Despite being treated for appendicitis, Chen’s symptoms persisted. It was not until last year that doctors finally found the cause of his symptoms: Chen reportedly had female sex chromosomes. After traveling some 930 miles from Sichuan province to Guangzhou to visit a hospital that treats genitalia issues,...

Thanks to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, young women are confronting some basic truths about men and women that feminism has denied for the last half-century. Like other left-wing movements, feminism is based on a denial of reality (or, if you prefer, on lies). The best-known example is the feminist insistence that, except for physical differences, men and women are basically the same. This includes the central feminist belief about men's and women's sexual natures. For half a century, women have been told that their sexual nature is no different from male sexual nature -- just as men can...

A black man with an AR-15 and ammunition threatened to blow up the Hilton Atlanta Airport Hotel tuesday evening, June 14, 2022 in Atlanta, GA. An eyewitness related to me watching a SWAT team blow by him on the way in to the hotel and watched them bring the suspect out (black guy) with the AR-15 in their possession. The media apparently did not see fit to report this story. Anyone with more information please post it on this thread. We are being played for fools.

A man was randomly stabbed on the Upper East Side in New York City Thursday, and law enforcement is still looking for the suspect.

A soon-to-be father-of-three is being slammed as 'ugly' and an 'a**hole' for his 'alarming' reaction to learning that his third child will be a girl. Expectant mother @kc.fulton and her husband already have a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old daughter — and they are now expecting daughter number three, which they learned at a gender reveal about a week ago. But while the US-based mom and her toddlers were expressed joy as pink confetti rained down around them, dad was clearly quite unhappy not to get a son and expressed that by repeatedly yelling profanities and storming off. In the...

A Las Vegas gas station clerk shot a customer who refused to wear a mask when he tried to pay for chips, police said. The customer walked into the Terrible Herbst Convenience Store on Feb. 6 without a mask on, and a worker inside asked him to put one on or leave, Las Vegas police said in a case report.

The man then walked out of the convenience store with the snacks in hand without paying, police said, and the...

I have the honor of serving as the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, and I’ve had a successful and fulfilling career as a gang and homicide prosecutor, but the most important title I will ever hold is being called “dad” by my two sons. It is the privilege of my life to be able to raise them to be kind, courageous and most importantly, to know that I will always love, support and protect them. When I took the helm of the Florida House back in 2020, the cyclical issues affecting our families and society became increasingly apparent...

Real Men Missing Emasculated conservatives calling for the restoration of America’s lost manhood are often the ones most responsible for destroying it. Conservative leadership today lacks strong men of courage who will, using solid first principles, face down the radical left. In other words, conservatism today has been emasculated. There is no better word for it. In a recent interview with Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson described the present Republican leadership: They’re weak. There’s something in them that’s weak, and they’ve decided… ‘The other side is ascended. The left is winning. I’m not gonna push any buttons that might infuriate them.’...

Harry Reid came from a town where you couldn’t afford to stay down. When he was just 11 years old, Harry followed his father hundreds of feet underground into the mines below Searchlight, Nev., where he would pan for gold and keep his dad company as the older man pounded through nearly impenetrable rock. He spent his childhood one cave-in or errant blasting cap away from becoming a fatality of those mines, as his father’s brother and a neighbor had become just a few years before. But Harry always came back up.

During CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage, network commentator Don Lemon delivered a monologue directed at his critics. Lemon said he doesn’t care what people think about him because he is a “grown, successful black man.” “I carry the same drink almost the entire night, so it is kind of an act. But, I am letting people into my life, and this is how I am all the time. I share everything,” Lemon began.

During his marathon annual year-end press conference Q&A, which this year lasted about four hours, Russian President Vladimir Putin once again vowed to defend Russian society against the intrusion of the corrupted values of the West, in particular blasting the “gender obscurantism” pushed by the United States and Europe. “I am a proponent of the traditional approach that a woman is a woman and a man is a man,” Putin laid out, which it goes without saying also reflects basic Biology 101 and humans’ self-understanding for thousands upon thousands of years. He continued in the remarks on gender: “A mother...

A man who was vaccinated against COVID-19 up to 10 times in one day on behalf of other people has been called “unbelievably selfish” and sparked an investigation. Astrid Koornneef, group manager operations for the Covid-19 vaccine and immunization program in New Zealand, said the country’s Ministry of Health was aware of the issue and taking the matter very seriously.

A deranged Missouri man threatened to kill students at a high school “in the name of Kyle Rittenhouse,” police said. Mitchell Lovelace, 27, posted on Snapchat Saturday that he planned to shoot up Festus High School in honor of the Illinois teen, according to charging documents cited by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Rittenhouse, 18, was acquitted of all charges last month in the shootings that killed two men and wounded a third during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020.

The man known as "jump kick man" during the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse is 39-year-old Maurice Freeland of Wisconsin, defense attorneys revealed to Fox News Thursday. A video played at trial appears to show Freeland running at Rittenhouse and kicking him shortly after the teenager shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum. Rittenhouse testified at trial that he fired at Freeland in self-defense but missed. "I thought if I were to be knocked out, he would have stomped my face in if I didn't fire," Rittenhouse told the jury. Prosecutors argued during the trial that the men who confronted Rittenhouse were trying...
