Some people would be shocked to learn that aliens have been living among us and the federal government is surveilling us. Not us. And we cover it all. And more. Not well, but we do. To truly enjoy this high brow intellectual offering, a first course suggestion is the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence Hearing on Government Investigation of UAPs (link below). No thanks needed. We selflessly do this for you.

Prisons are a lot like high school. You’ve got lots of people from different backgrounds going through some crazy mental and emotional stuff, behaving badly, and being forced to be with each other day in and day out. And, like high schools, many prisons don’t seem to do a very good job serving the education, training, and life skill needs of prisoners to benefit society. So, is there a better way?

So what happens when the President of the United States cannot perform the duties required of that role? In theory, the 25th Amendment to the Constitution provides the answer. In practice it turns out that may not always be the case and may not be straightforward.

Different people have different inherent biological limitations: color recognition, spatial awareness, physical strength, processing emotions, and other. But do the masses of people have a significant limitation in their ability to visualize or understand basic mathematics - counting and percentages? What does that mean for society, democracy, and a representative form of government in the current technological age? How could they hope to understand basic concepts of data, statistics, science, and engineering that is widely presented as crucial to sustain and advance in a highly technologically dependent world? Will they then be manipulated even moreso by that lack of understanding combined with pervasive and effective propaganda?

Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. You may know them better by one of their affectionate nicknames, such as weed, herb, pot, grass, bud, ganja and some others. It’s a plant, it grows wild, and the United States federal government says it’s a controlled illegal drug, but maybe that will soon change. Jon, Mike, and Tom discuss marijuana legislation and legalization.
