I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

In reality what we should all be worried about is anthopogenic climate change. The petunias are plotting to become megaflora, and I can prove it!

Yesterday, in a vote of 221 to 209, Congress approved a staggering $831.5 billion to the Pentagon.

Local and federal officials in LA say recovery from January's deadly wildfires is on pace to be the fastest in modern California history. Scientists worry that toxic debris isn't getting cleared.
