With some Californians threatening to secede due to Trump’s controversial policies, the state may not need the federal funds which our newly elected President plans to withhold if California refuses to comply with his demands for ‘Sanctuary Cities,’ places where illegal immigrants are thought to be  given refuge . The legalized marijuana industry will provide California with a projected $7 billion dollars, rivaling the industries of Washington and Colorado . California is About to Make More on Pot Sales Every Year Than on the Entire Produce Industry On top of the $7-8 billion that will flood California in sales revenue, state and local governments could take in as much as $1 billion in taxes for legal recreational and medical pot sales. Though the state’s emerging legal pot market requires some tweaking of regulations and rules that will outline where and how plants can be grown as well as tracking buds from fields to stores, “the plane is being built while it is in flight,”...

It’s true: Other people judge and criticize us each and every day. Mind you, they don’t do it nearly as much as our minds may lead us to believe, or as negatively, but they do it, just like you do it to them. We make judgements all the time, both negative and positive, and that’s a natural part of life. While some people understand this and see that it has little to no bearing on our ability to be ourselves and do what we like to do, to the majority of us, this is a crippling reality that leaves us feeling frequently and  persistently unhappy. For the vast majority of my life, other people’s opinions of me mattered way more than they should have or I would have liked. My pursuit of acting contributed to this problem big time, since audition after audition not only forced me to face constant criticism, but also regularly reminded me of what about me just wasn’t good enough to get the part. Thankfully, I’ve since graduated from this state where virtually every ...

Trump’s recent decision to ban people from travelling to the U.S. from seven countries — Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, and Somalia — has caused an absolute uproar, with people protesting at airports and out on the streets.  The decision has divided people within and among all groups, factions, and walks of life. We could speculate all day about why Trump chose this path; perhaps he feels it’s part of a deeper plan to better the United States that we simply can’t see yet, for example, but it certainly seems to be a move taking us toward a world many of us do not wish to see become reality — a world where we don’t see each other as one people sharing a planet, but rather as citizens of individual countries all competing with one another and all different from one another. This viewpoint causes us to lose sight of the humanity we all share. This article is going to offer a different take on the whole situation — one that pulls our awareness b...

*The title of this article was inspired by a guest post written for Scientific American If you’re considering a vegan/vegetarian diet, modern day science is showing that it is completely natural, and that our bodies our totally capable of sustaining one. In fact, a lot of evidence is showing that a vegan/vegetarian diet (if done correctly) can have a tremendous amount of health benefits. “Studies are confirming the health benefits of meat-free eating. Nowadays, plant-based eating is recognized as not only nutritionally sufficient but also as a way to reduce the risk for many chronic illnesses.” –  Harvard Medical School ( source ) You can find out more information about that (to start you off on your research) here . Whether you subscribe to the theory of evolution, or creationism, a bit of both, or anything else it, is irrelevant to this article. This article does not go into these complexities as that is an entirely different subject, with lots of information, examination and...

There is one question that makes every vegan cringe: “But where do you get your protein?!” Before diving right into that topic, let’s take a look at a certain vegan who definitely gets his protein – Kendrick Farris, the only American male weightlifter competing in the Rio Olympics. Farris has been vegan since 2014 and can currently lift over 800 pounds! When asked in an interview with HuffPost  where he gets his protein, he replied: “I just research the foods I’m eating, and try to be efficient. How much protein is in this avocado?” Clearly cutting meat and animal products out of his diet hasn’t held him back one bit, as Farris has won the gold medal at the past two Pan American weightlifting championships. Ferris explains that, after discovering his heritage, he wanted to learn more. He said, “Israelites from the lost tribes of Israel. I knew I needed to do more research to understand the ways of the ancient,” including their kosher diet. Why The Change Of Diet? He ...

If you’ve been thinking that maybe it’s time to cut back on the partying and looking to try something new, then good for you! You are feeling this for a reason and it’s important to go with your gut! Have you been going out too much? Drinking too much when you do? Relying on alcohol to have fun or feel confident? If this is you, then yes, it’s probably a great idea to stop drinking so much. Coming from experience, there are a few things you should know about what will happen when you decide to make the change, outlined below. 1. Your Social Life Will Slow Right Down This depends largely on your friend circles and how often they go out. You might find that every weekend, your friends are still hitting up the bar, pub, or club and getting wasted. Sure, you might tag along with them on occasion, but it can definitely be really difficult to be around a bunch of drunk people when you are deciding to be sober. So, chances are you will just start to opt out of going in the first place. The...

Last year, Wikileaks released the Podesta emails and, as with previous leaks, they expose massive amounts of corruption within the U.S. political system. Some of the Podesta leaks include information about UFOs and extraterrestrials in the form of private emails. One in particular was from Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, and it reads as follows: Dear John, Because the War in Space race is heating up, I felt you should be aware of several factors as you and I schedule our Skype talk. Remember, our nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe are helping us bring zero point energy to Earth. They will not tolerate any forms of military violence on Earth or in space. The following information in italics was shared with me by my colleague Carol Rosin, who worked closely for several years with Wernher von Braun before his death. Carol and I have worked on the Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, attached for your convenience. You can read...
