"From later this month, Mr. Trump will be responsible for appointing the heads of many of the bodies that regulate Wells Fargo and the other institutions he owes money to, including JP Morgan, BlackRock, Deutsche Bank and Prudential. Another company the President-elect owes money to, MetLife Inc., is currently engaged in a court battle with the US government over attempts to regulate it more strictly. Mr. Trump would have the power to drop the court case when he takes office on January 20.Documents also reveal that companies partly owned by Mr. Trump have borrowed significant sums from the state-owned Bank of China, despite the President-elect’s repeated verbal attacks on China."

Big Pharma screws consumers again.
CBD has been available over the counter and used by many to relieve numerous health issues including MS, Parkinson's, fibromyalgia, chronic pain and so on. In many cases, it acts as an anti-inflammatory.
It's relatively inexpensive.
It is not an intoxicating substance.
Alert: DEA Classifies CBD as a Schedule 1 substance, effective January 13th. Read up on the history of how we got to this point, and why the DEA has no jurisdiction to make a law and schedule controlled substances without an act of Congress.
While regulators debate the cannabis-derived compound CBD's legal status, Big Pharma attempts to corner the market.

Speaking in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee yesterday, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said he was highly confident that Russia had interfered in the presidential election.

With testimony like that from the country's highest ranking intelligence officer, and a declassified report on alleged Russian interference expected out next week, Democrats now have plenty of new fodder for their endless quest to delegitimize Donald Trump by tying him to Russia.

Which is too bad, because it means they're going to continue to ignore the real scandal of the 2016 presidential election: Interstate Crosscheck, a program started by Trump advisor Kris Kobach, a fellow you may remember from the "your papers please" "walking while brown" law in Arizona, or the Muslim registry that he designed for George W. Bush in the hysteria right after 9/11.

And he's also the Secretary of State for Kansas, the epicenter of the Koch network.

According to investigative reporter Greg Palast, Crosscheck is a glorified national voter purge disguised as a tool to prevent people from double voting. Crosscheck kicked millions of people - overwhelmingly people of color, according to Palast - off the voting rolls before election day.

In many key states, the number of people purged by Crosscheck was much, much larger than Trump's margin of victory.

In Michigan, for example, the number of people purged from the voting rolls -- 449,000 -- was about 40 times larger than Trump's margin of victory -- around 10,700 votes.

In other words, Crosscheck probably won Michigan for Trump.

It also probably won him Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

This is a HUGE story -- the presidential election was probably stolen!

But for some inexplicable reason, Democrats aren't talking about it. There's no push for an investigation, no calls for hearings, no nothing.

Why is that?

What are Democrats waiting for?

We believe all religions are bullshit, but unfairly singling one out while ignoring a greater problem is ridiculous.
