I used to listen to that stuff on the radio. It normally comes on at like 3 am or so. Prime time for when conspiracy nuts are awake !

Giant flying turtles as predicted by Nostradamus !

To me this pattern is irrefutable proof for ancient machining !

I'm moving to Soviet Russia if Hillary becomes president... At least Putin doesn't lie as much as Hillary does.

That's an incredibly high bar, but it still probably isn't true. Putin is one of the worst people currently alive.

I love those 3d images!

Should I feel dumb for not seeing anything?

The leaders of far left regimes tend to always be the worst people alive at the time.

That doesn't help me at all. Is there a trick?

Dr. Ben Carson Used Fetal Tissue In Life-Saving Research Before GOP Candidate Ben Carson Condemned It


Further proof that running for president in the Republican Party may actually kill brain cells, Ben Carson seems to have forgotten his own research in his rush to condemn the use of fetal tissue donations in science. Oops.

According to an explosive blog post by an OB/GYN named Jen Gunter, back when Carson was a world-famous neurosurgeon and not a willing member of the Republican primary clown show, he led a study that used “two fetuses aborted in the ninth and 17th week of gestation.” The kinds he now describes as “disturbing” and a symptom of moral decay.

As Gunter noted:

While opining on the uselessness of fetal tissue research to Megyn Kelly Dr. Carson neglected to mention his own paper Colloid Cysts of the Third Ventricle: Immunohistochemical evidence for nonneuropithelial differentiation published in Hum Pathol 23:811-816 in 1992. The materials and methods describe using “human choroid plexus ependyma and nasal mucosa from two fetuses aborted in the ninth and 17th week of gestation.”

And what’s more, Carson was so proud of the findings that he published them along with several other doctors in a medical journal.

The first couple to be issued a same-sex marriage license in Florida sued the state Thursday, saying that the Bureau of Vital Statistics still won’t allow hospitals to list both same-sex parents on birth certificates.

Cathy Pareto and Karla Arguello of Miami filed the lawsuit in federal court in Tallahassee. Pareto and Arguello had twins on Aug. 6. Two other married, same-sex couples also are part of the lawsuit.

In the hours after giving birth, Pareto said she and her wife were told by the hospital records manager that both of their names couldn’t be on the birth certificate.

“Karla and I made the decision to expand our family together,” Pareto said. “We went through the whole fertility process together. The whole thing has been a unified front as a married couple. To then be told I couldn’t be on my own children’s birth certificate? It was degrading.”

Pareto and Arguello were the first same-sex couple to legally wed in the state.

Pareto said that if, for instance, a married man and woman had fertility problems and the couple had to use a sperm donor to conceive a child, the state wouldn’t deny the husband the right to be on the birth certificate — even though he would be the non-biological father.

“Why are they questioning me because I’m not biologically tied?” she asked.

The LGBT group Equality Florida says the lawsuit challenges Florida’s refusal to issue accurate birth certificateslisting both spouses as parents of their children.

Nadine Smith, the co-founder and CEO of Equality Florida, called the inability to put both names of a couple on a baby’s certificate “wrong and mean-spirited.”

“Pretty much almost every other state has already done this. They did it; they did it right,” Smith said. “Florida’s going to waste time, waste money and leave parents who should be celebrating the birth of their child in uncertainty because both parents aren’t included on the birth certificate.”

The state Department of Health says it does not generally comment on pending litigation. The department on Thursday filed a motion for clarification involving the state statutes regarding the wording on birth certificates.

Florida’s ban on same-sex marriage ended Jan. 6.

You want a good story, here's one:

Gay Couples Going to Court Over Names on Birth Certificates

Would the husband of a woman who had a sperm donor be able to be on the certificate of birth?

If so, then I'd say it's discrimination to not let her be on there as well.

If not, then I don't really care, at the moment.
