Glendale, CO – A new marijuana shop recently opened in Colorado, but this one is owned by the mayor’s wife, and it is located directly next to a strip club, which she also owns. Deborah Dunafon thinks that there will be a lot of crossover for the audiences between the two businesses, and said that perhaps the marijuana could actually make the environment in the area more safe and calm.

The Smokin’ Gun Apothecary will now be opened directly adjacent to the strip club Shotgun Willie’s, and there will be cross promotions running between both of the businesses to encourage people …read more

One of the most insidious abuses of state power lies in the practice of civil asset forfeiture (CAF), where government agents can seize cash and property from citizens who are not charged with a crime. Law enforcement needs only the suspicion (often concocted) of a crime to immediately steal a person’s belongings, and the person must then prove his or her innocence with costly attorney’s fees to get their property back.
The case of Joseph Rivers, 22, provides a shocking example of how bad it can get. While on his way to Hollywood to start a music career, the DEA stole …read more

At the Dark Android Project, I generally recommend either loading CyanogenMod or AOSP onto your Android device. Getting away from Alphabet/Google’s ever-increasing control of the OS is doing more harm than good, in my opinion (and if you want to be really saucy, don’t even use the Google Play Store, use F-Droid instead). But those recommendations were never meant to be the only ones, they just happened to be the most popular.
But now there is a new entrant into Dark Android-recommended Android-based operating systems: Resurrection Remix.
With the more specific goal of taking older hardware and bringing it up to the …read more

It’s estimated that every year cigarette butts make up nearly 1.7 billion pounds of toxic, non-biodegradable trash. Not to mention, there’s evidence every year of fires, large and small, that were caused by smoldering butts littered on dry, grassy areas.
According to Texas Legislation, disposing of a cigarette is illegal and can result in a fine up to $500.
Sec. 365.012. ILLEGAL DUMPING; DISCARDING LIGHTED MATERIALS; CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
(a) A person commits an offense if the person disposes or allows or permits the disposal of litter or other solid waste at a place that is not an approved solid waste site, including …read more

Frankfort, KY — In a mockery of the legal system, a Kentucky lawmaker has proposed an obnoxious piece of legislation that will require men to jump through several hoops prior to acquiring erectile dysfunction medication.
HB396 16RS Erectile Dysfunction Drug Bill, was proposed last week by Rep. Mary Lou Marzian of Louisville.
“I want to protect these men from themselves,” Marzian, who is a nurse, told the Courier-Journal.
“This is about family values,” she added.
The humiliating hoops proposed in the Bill, are nothing short of absurd. Prior to prescribing a man Viagra:
A health care practitioner shall:
(1) Require a man to have two (2) …read more

It’s amazing what’s already happened this year

Many commentators believe that Article Two of the U.S. Constitution, which says the U.S. House chooses the President when no one gets a majority of the electoral college vote, injures independent presidential candidates, or the presidential nominees of new parties. But Holman W. Jenkins, Jr., a member of the Wall Street editorial board and a columnist for that newspaper, writes here that the provision would actually help Michael Bloomberg if he ran for president this year as an independent.
This article at The Moderate Voice discusses Jenkins’ column and quotes extensively from it. …read more

Scotusblog has this explanation about what happens to U.S. Supreme Court decisions that haven’t been issued yet, but in which the initial vote after the oral argument resulted in a tentative 5-4 decision, in which Justice Antonin Scalia was in the majority. As the article explains, such tentative votes don’t count, and there may be many 4-4 decisions. On a U.S. Supreme Court tie, the ruling of the lower court stands.
This article explains the consequences for several high-profile cases.
For election law, the first impact of Scalia’s death may be in Harris v McCrory, 15A809, the North Carolina gerrymandering …read more
