Poisonous hemlock has been called one of North America's deadliest plants, and it's invading yards in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The toxic weed began making headlines in 2019 when it was spreading across southern Ohio. Now it's popping up in Pennsylvania. Professors Joe Boggs and Erik Draper stated in the Ohio State University's Buckeye Yard & Garden online blog that the plant could be deadly if consumed by humans and animals. "Poison hemlock is one of the deadliest plants in North America," Boggs and Draper wrote in the blog. "Plants contain highly toxic piperidine alkaloid compounds, including coniine and gamma-Coniceine, which cause respiratory failure and death in mammals.

A Marion County judge says the state must continue its participation in the CARES Act unemployment benefits.
In May, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced the state would stop providing federal COVID-19 unemployment benefits, citing the number of businesses looking for new employees.
A judge ruled, in response to a lawsuit was filed by Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis on June 14, the benefits must continue until the court makes a final decision.
There is no shortage of activity inside the Little Rhody Foods just outside Providence, Rhode Island. Every day, the food distribution center is bustling with activity as workers move as quickly as they can to pack and ship containers of drinks to all across New England.
But after making it through the pandemic, owner Eli Berkowitz was recently hit with another surprise: Rhode Island, where this business is located, was looking at the idea of taxing sugary drinks.
Berkowitz says a sugary drink tax could crush sales like a flattened aluminum can.
Team USA's inclusion of white forward Kevin Love on the Olympic roster is an example of 'tokenism,' according to retired NBA star Jalen Rose, who says black Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton would make a better choice even though he's from the Bahamas.
'Kevin Love is on the team because of tokenism,' Rose, now an ESPN commentator, said on his podcast. 'Don't be scared to make an all-black team representing the United States of America. I'm disappointed by that. Anybody that watched the league this year knows Kevin Love did not have a stellar season."
Ijeoma Oluo spends a lot of time complaining about her single white mother who took care of her when her black father returned to Nigeria and never came back.
Like Obama and Kamala, Ijeoma built a marketable identity by identifying with a father who abandoned her. But the author of such racist texts as So You Want to Talk About Race and Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America takes it even further by identifying as Nigerian-American. The Nigerian part is very hypothetical as she was born and raised in America. [SNIP]
White people are absolutely terrible, Ijeoma, who is half-white, insists.
On Friday, a showdown between two of the largest agricultural landowners in the United Statesâthe Church of Latter-Day Saints and Bill Gatesâ wealth management firmâcame to a head when the Mormons beat out the mogul on a bid for 12,000 acres of Eastern Washington farmland that was once at the center of a $244 million âghost cattleâ fraud locals have dubbed âCattlegate.â
The land in question lies on the mighty Columbia River, the fourth-largest river in the United States and one central to the regionâs culture and economy for thousands of years: fishing, transportation, and power generation are essential uses to this day.
An FBI agent applied for a federal warrant in 2018 to seize a cache of gold that he said had been âstolen during the Civil Warâ while en route to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, and was ânow concealed in an underground caveâ in northwestern Pennsylvania.
That's according to court documents unsealed Thursday.
The FBI had long refused to confirm why exactly it went digging on state-owned land in Elk County in March 2018. [SNIP] But the father-son duo who brought a small army of federal agents to the site remain convinced the FBI uncovered something there.
America's biggest liberal news outlets have avoided reporting on the latest Hunter Biden scandal, amid claims he inadvertently used his fatherâs credit card to accidentally overpay an escort $25,000.
The United States' most popular left-leaning publications and news networks â including The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC â have made no mention of the story in the 36 hours since it was broken by the Post, and confirmed by DailyMail.com
On Wednesday evening, CNN host Jake Tapper did mention Hunter on his show - but only while discussing the president's son's paintings with Republican writer Kristin Soltis Anderson.
While the Biden administration is focused on pushing racially divisive critical race theory on the military, it's also taking time out to trash what's left of border security. [SNIP]
Scott refused to fall in line with a Biden administration directive to stop using terms like âillegal alienâ in favor of descriptions like âmigrant.â
Either adopt the Newspeak or you will pay the price.
Earlier this year, Mr. Scott refused to follow a Biden administration directive to stop using the term âillegal alien."

Ethnic Studies Dean 8 replies
California's Jewish communities warned that the push for ethnic studies was just educational antisemitism. And, indeed, the ethnic studies movement is full of Farrakhan allies, from BLM's Melinda Abdullah to the dean of the College of Ethnic Studies at California State University.
Her name is Julianne Malveaux. She enjoys long walks on the beach and hating everyone. Especially Jews. The incoming dean of the newly created College of Ethnic Studies at California State University, Los Angeles is an ally of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and has publicly expressed hope that Clarence Thomas dies an early death.
Educators around the country have come out to condemn a 'Dismantling Racism in Mathematics' program which tells teachers not to push students to find the correct answers to math problems because doing so promotes white supremacy.
The program is centered around a workbook for teachers entitled 'A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction' which asserts that America's education system â even mathematics instruction â reinforces the dominant power structures of white colonizers.
Grading students, asking them to show their work, requiring participation and even pushing them to get the right answer are depicted in the workbook as harmful to minorities.

A Stanford University professor with a distinguished background in business has told of his dismay at the 'cancel culture' on campuses, telling how he was labelled a racist for standing for the United States' flag. [SNIP] Peterson said that he had been reported to the dean for 'triggering' students.
'It all started when President Trump was elected,' Peterson told Tucker Carlson on Fox News on Tuesday.
'I had several students come to me and say they needed time off. They'd been triggered by the election, and they couldn't take their exams."

âThis isnât the first time Bidenâs warned the govât would use every weapon in its arsenal against Americans,â quipped Tom Elliott, remembering how Biden said something like this at a rally early last year.
Maybe the Second Amendment should be extended to include F-15s.
Seriously, though, this dumb gun-control talking point is deathless even though itâs never been clearer how untrue it is. Watch, then read on. There are many lessons to be learned from Americaâs adventure in Afghanistan but an easy one is that a crudely equipped force using guerrilla tactics is fully capable of prevailing over one with superior firepower. That lesson should have been clear already from Vietnam
A Democratic congressman from California suggested that the Catholic Church ought to lose its tax-exempt status if the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) decides to follow Church law and deny Communion to pro-abortion politicians like President Joe Biden.
In a June 18 tweet, Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) said, âIf theyâre going to politically weaponize religion by ârebukingâ Democrats who support womenâs reproductive choice, then a ârebukeâ of their tax-exempt status may be in order.â

to Blow Up a Big Democrat Narrative Instead 35 replies
Earlier today, as RedState reported, Joe Biden launched into another dementia-laden rant where he talked about nuking Americans and shooting deer in kevlar vests. No, Iâm not being facetious. That actually happened (see Biden Accidently Makes Best Ever for Second Amendment in Speech Promoting Gun Control Initiatives).
In one of the best arguments for the Second Amendment ever spoken by a president, Biden asserted that no one can stand up to the government without F-15s and nuclear weapons. He seems to have a thing for the F-15, having mentioned it several times in this context and perhaps not realizing that the U.S. Military has an array of other fighter-bombers to murder
A Federal Aviation Administration advisory group is urging the agency to replace words like âairmanâ and âcockpitâ with gender-neutral terms like âaviatorâ and âflight deck.â The FAAâs Drone Advisory Committee put forth the recommendations in a report released Wednesday, part of a broader push for equity in the agency and aviation industry. âResearch shows that the utilization of gender-neutral language can lead to a more inclusive environment that draws more people to the industry and helps keep them there,â the report states. The committee offered several alternatives for terms commonly used in the industry, such as using âmanufacturedâ or âfabricatedâ instead of âman-made.â
A Massachusetts town has created a fund to pay reparations to black residents as communities and institutions across the country look to atone for slavery, discrimination and past wrongs amid the nation's ongoing racial reckoning. The Amherst Town Council on Monday voted 12-1 in favor of establishing the fund and requiring a two-thirds vote of the council to authorize any spending from it, The Daily Hampshire Gazette reported.
The town, which is located some 90 miles from Boston and has a population of just under 38,000, has yet to decide how a person would become eligible for the reparation fund,
Rudy Giulianiâs law license was suspended by the New York Supreme Court on Thursday for making false statements related to voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, according to court papers.The court ruled there is âuncontroverted evidenceâ that Giuliani made false statements while he was acting as legal counsel for former President Donald Trump.âThese false statements were made to improperly bolster respondentâs narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client,â the ruling stated.
A liberal arts college in Massachusetts has warned its students and faculty against using 'violent language'âeven banning the phrase 'trigger warning' for its association with guns.

Picnic is derived from the French 'pique-nique,'
