When RMS Empress of Ireland suffered a severe collision with another ship near the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River on May 28, 1914, she sank in only 14 minutes.
Of the 1,477 onboard, 1,012 died.
This is the story of Canada's Titanic.

The Glass Gem Corn is a mix of ancient Pawnee, Osage and Cherokee varieties and it's indigenous to North America

It was regrown by the late Cherokee farmer Carl "White Eagle" Barnes in Oklahoma and it's now spread around the world

FRAUDULENT—RFK Jr’s report on “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) cited completely FAKE studies that do not even exist, & completely misinterprets others. Truly wild. This is the same guy who bypassed all CDC scientists to put out anti vax nonsense.
