WASHINGTON (AP) " Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth created another Signal messaging chat that included his wife and brother where he shared similar details of a March military airstrike against Yemen's Houthi militants that were sent in another chain with top Trump administration leaders, The New York Times reported.

FTA: "Those studies did not ask people how they used cannabis " such as via smoking, vaping, dabbing, edibles, tinctures or topicals. (Dabbing involves vaporizing concentrated cannabis and inhaling the vapor.) However, "based on epidemiological data, it is likely that cannabis was smoked in the vast majority of cases," Jouanjus said."
..

People who consumed edibles laced with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, showed signs of early cardiovascular disease similar to tobacco smokers.

"We found that vascular function was reduced by 42% in marijuana smokers and by 56% in THC-edible users compared to nonusers," Dr. Leila Mohammadi, an assistant researcher in cardiology at the University of California, San Francisco, told CNN in a prior interview.

None of the studies included in the new meta-analysis asked users about the potency of THC in the products they consume. Even if they had, that information would be quickly outdated, Silver said.

"The cannabis market is a moving target. It is getting more potent every day," she said.

"What's being sold to people today in California is 5 to 10 times stronger than what it was in the 1970s. Concentrates can be 99% pure THC. Vapes are over 80% THC."

If valid I wonder if there are specific cannabinoids that could be to blame? Does CBD have similar risks?

It really seems stupid to include "compared to the 70's" as if the majority can relate to getting a bag of dry crap that was crammed and transported across several states. My local dispensary currently offers fine starts for $25.

Hegseth is allegedly planning a Greenland invasion.

I don't know if I can believe that, it may be AI pipe-dreaming, but it appears to be real enough.

Hegseth won't rule out military actions against Greenland, Panama Thursday, Jun 12, 2025

Pressed by Republican lawmakers to dismiss the possibility of such a U.S. military attack on Greenland or Panama, Hegseth reiterated that the "Pentagon has plans for any number of contingencies" and that officials "look forward to working with Greenland to ensure that it is secured from any potential threats."
..
The issue of possible U.S. military intervention to take over Greenland, Panama, Canada and other allied territories has been a point of concern for months among critics of President Donald Trump.

On social media and in White House comments, Trump has stated multiple times that Denmark should surrender control of Greenland for the good of global security, and that Canada should become the 51st state in the American union.
..
Hegseth, in his first appearance before the committee, avoided directly responding to the claims, but said the United States government has significant interest in protecting the areas from Chinese influence or manipulation.

Earlier this week, Denmark's Parliament approved legislation to allow new U.S. military bases on Danish soil, broadening an existing previous military agreement between the countries.

But Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen in recent months has vowed to oppose any U.S. efforts to take over the Danish territory.

The Pentagon, meanwhile, is likely to shift Greenland from U.S. European Command to U.S. Northern Command, the military body responsible for defense of the American homeland, Mexico and Canada.
..

"The real question is: How much did Trump make on his parade? I'll wager the grift extended far and wide for this display of public onanism..."
Yeah, he should work to emulate those trustworthy Dems like Bob Menendez, right?
DR lib kids are some of the worst liberal extremists on any comment boards I am a part of. Even CNN's comment boards, when available in an article, have much more balanced people who hold liberal opinions but don't constantly illustrate how hypocritical they are. I've even seen some have an actual debate with some replies and they didn't name call or demonize the other person, and one who actually even thanked someone for sharing their opinino (who admittedly was an ----- and an extreme MAGA person so bad it made me cringe reading a couple of his comments). That was a rare instance but I'll take that over the zero instances of any DR lib kids actually accepting reality, commonsense, or logic that doesn't support their narrative. Not saying anyone has to agree but accepting a different viewpoint is a good trait...except if you are a partisan person, then it's an evil that should be avoided at all costs.

However, it's not surprising. There are a lot of parallels to your statement and the liberal ideology. Iran wants to destroy everyone who doesn't subscribe to their narrative, just like liberals are proving daily in America they want to do. It's so sad that we have American liberals who support the killing of anyone as long as they aren't on the same side. Your quote above is absolute proof of this, all because you want to ignore all of the missiles that Iran has levied at Israel and only want to focus on Israel's response. Sad. Very, very sad. It is no wonder that the white, privileged, American liberal is the most terrifying human on the planet today. They took the mantle from white redneck racists some time ago and that was something I never thought could happen but liberals worked very hard apparently.

Here's the link: Riot declared at Portland, Oregon ICE Facility 9:55 115K views 1 day ago

A nurse was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet, probably resulting in blindness. The Portland police are too comfortable using drastic methods which commonly result in horrific preventable tragedies.

Finally got some good information on the "riot":


This occurred in front of the unwanted ICE facility blocking their driveway from "deliveries" of abducted fellow citizens.

It also turns out ICE are raiding Oregon wine processing - they are terrorizing our agricultural industry.

This building was undoubtedly chosen for it's proximity to the closest Tesla dealership.

Portland police has declared the entire city is a "riot zone" when it was the one block in front of ICE and Tesla.

The police used HC which was banned in the 90's because of it's serious toxicity.

This isn't what chief Bob had stated was their goal, yet here we go yet again..

I do not predict the future of this police force to survive mass public displeasure over banned chemical agents utilized to lock down and terrorize our communities, not just the abductions impact on business and families or Portland's status as a sanctuary city.
