OROVILLE, Calif. —An Oroville woman going into labor decided to take the back roads to her parents' home for help, but soon found herself in more trouble than expected.
It began with her gas and cell service running out in the Plumas County National Forest.
"I was told about this back road and people had showed it to me a few times, but I had never driven it by myself," Amber Pangborn told an NBC affiliate in Oroville.
As she traveled down French Creek Road -- not long before running out of gas and cell service -- Pangborn gave birth to her daughter, Marissa. She did it alone on Thursday.
Pangborn, 35, was stranded for the next three days. In that time, she encountered a swarm of bees and mosquitoes.
"I was trying to get them not to sting her, but I got stung," Pangborn said.
She survived only off a few apples and modest amounts of water.
On Saturday, three days into her ordeal, she decided to start a signal fire, hoping to attract some attention -- but that didn't go as planned.
"I think mommy just started a forest fire," Pangborn recalled telling her daughter shortly after starting the fire.
Within hours, the fire was tracked by a U.S. Forest Service worker, and Pangborn and her daughter were found safe.
"I was just crying, and I was just so happy," Pangborn, said. "I thought we were going to die."
They were admitted to Oroville Hospital, and the baby was taken to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento on Sunday for further evaluation.
The two are expected to be reunited soon.

CONVIICT LIVES MATTER
Prison inmates start protest movement in wake of David Sweat shooting with white, black and Hispanic inmates united
By Ima Schmuck
The shooting of unarmed New York prison escapee David Sweat by a state trooper has riled up prison inmates across the U.S. White, black and Hispanic prison inmates have set aside their fierce rivalry to unite and form a ‘Convict Lives Matter’ protest movement.
Terry “Big Terry” Blake, a general in the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT) prison gang, was incensed over the Sweat shooting. Big Terry, who is in custody on federal racketeering charges, told reporters that correctional officers and cops are always shooting unarmed prison inmates who are only trying to get out of the “hell holes” they’ve been confined in.
“If them niggers can protest and riot when cops shoot one of them spooks,” Big Terry said, “then us convicts ought to be able to protest and riot too when one of our unarmed brothers gets shot by the bulls or the cops. I hate to join up with them niggers and wetbacks, but when it comes to us cons getting shot, we all gotta stick together.”
Donna Lieberman , executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said the ACLU is supporting the rights of convicts to demonstrate, but she stopped short of supporting their right to riot. “We always support the right of any group to demonstrate peacefully,” she said, emphasizing the word ‘peacefully.’
Lieberman is also concerned that an unarmed Sweat was shot in the back by a New York state trooper while running away. She compared the Sweat shooting to that of 50-year-old Walter Scott, an unarmed black man who was shot in the back last April by Michael Slager, a North Charleston, South Carolina cop. As a result, Slager has been indicted for murder.
Prison officials are bracing for the possibility of rioting and are considering lockdowns in those prisons where the “Convict Lives Matter’ movement appears to gaining some traction.
Marshall L. Fisher, Commissioner of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, said “We ain’t about to let a bunch of criminals demonstrate for any reason or cause, Our correctional officers have been instructed to deal harshly with the leaders of the ‘Convict Lives Matter’ movement in our state prison system.”
Burl Cain, warden of Louisiana’s Angola state penitentiary, said he was not worried about any demonstrations at his prison. “Here at Angola,” he said, “our inmates are well behaved because they know how we deal with troublemakers. I ain’t worried about no ‘Convict Lives Matter’ demonstrations. They ain’t about to happen here at Angola.”
As for the Sweat shooting, Amnesty International general secretary Salil Shetty summed it up in his London office by saying, “The shooting of Mr. Sweat is just one more example of cowboy cops in America.”

DIVORCE LAWYERS LEAPING UP AND DOWN WITH JOY
Supreme Court ruling has lawyers salivating over an expected divorce bonanza
BarkGrowlBite | June 28, 2015
So you think that homosexuals were overjoyed at the Supreme Court’s ruling on Gay marriage. Of course they were overjoyed, but divorce lawyers were even more ecstatic.
Divorce lawyer are leaping – rather than jumping – up and down with joy over the ruling by the Supreme Court that made Gay marriages legal across the land.
Nationwide the divorce rate among heterosexual couples still hovers around 50 percent. There is no reason to think that the divorce rate among Gays will be any less.
Lawyers are salivating over an expected divorce bonanza. Since many homosexuals are successful professionals and business owners, their divorce proceedings are likely to be protracted and thus very costly. Their lawyers will be laughing all the way to the bank.

SUPREME COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF MOST BUCK-WILD PRIDE PARADE NATION’S EVER SEEN
5-4 ruling upholds raunchy gay pride parades
The Onion | June 26, 2015
WASHINGTON—Following decades of debate over the constitutional right to same-sex marriage, the U.S. Supreme Court today handed down a 5-4 ruling in favor of the most buck-wild, balls-to-the-wall gay pride parade this country has ever seen.
“After reviewing the constitutional underpinnings of this case, the court finds that it is discriminatory for states to deny the right to the most out-of-control, bonkers gay pride parade that anyone could possibly imagine,” Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote in his majority opinion, which outlined at length the elaborate floats, billowing rainbow flags, and phalanxes of outlandishly dressed participants, barely scratching the surface of how completely bananas things are about to get. “This decision confirms what should be obvious: The government cannot prevent a nonstop bacchanal surging through the streets of every American city. We’re talking half-naked lesbians covered in body paint, rollerblading homosexuals in brightly colored Native American headdresses and sparkling gold briefs, as well as hundreds of thousands of supporters losing their fucking minds while ‘I Will Survive’ blares at 150 decibels. This is going to be an absolute shit show.”
The Supreme Court’s landmark decision was reportedly appended by a concurring opinion authored by Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor in which she agreed that the right to “an uninterrupted three-day batshit insane rager” was mandated by the U.S. Constitution.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA MYTHS DEBUNKED
A Bristol University study conducted with 6,500 volunteers showed that cannabis does not ease pain, nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy patients, MS muscle contractions, sleep disorders or Tourette’s symptoms
BarkGrowlBite | June 24, 2015
Along comes yet another study by a reputable scientific team which debunks the medical marijuana myths. A study by Dr. Penny Whiting and her team at England’s University of Bristol found that cannabis does not ease pain, nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy patients, MS muscle contractions, sleep disorders or Tourette’s symptoms.
The proponents of pot claim that marijuana is a medical miracle. They are either ignorant of the true facts or deliberately lying.
In the Bristol University study, Dr. Whiting’s team used 6,500 volunteers and conducted 79 random trials. That seems to meet the standard of scientific inquiry.
The Whiting Study found weak evidence that cannabis eases pain and even weaker evidence that it provides relief for chemotherapy, MS and Tourette patients.
The study further indicates that marijuana contributes to psychosis and does little to ease anxiety.
The researchers also debunked studies which purported to show the beneficial aspects of medical marijuana by pointing out that they did not reach statistical significance.
Twenty three states have legalized the use of pot for medical purposes. The medical marijuana industry has enriched the growers, distributors and dealers of pot and the doctors who prescribe it.
California’s medical marijuana law is a farce and has become a de facto legalization of pot for recreational use. Pot heads can go to almost any doctor licensed to dispense marijuana and get a pot prescription for any number of imaginable faked symptoms. At the end of the day, the doctor can go laughing all the way to the bank.
The Whiting study comes on the heels of a study showing that medical marijuana does not provide any relief to glaucoma patients. The American Glaucoma Society has written: "There is no scientific basis for marijuana's use in treatment," and there is evidence that it could actually do damage.
The American Epilepsy Society says: "Marijuana itself has major shortcomings as an epilepsy treatment ... evidence for efficacy in treating seizures does not meet the necessary standard to recommend it to patients." Worse, researchers state that "marijuana use or withdrawal could potentially trigger seizures in susceptible [epilepsy] patients."
Drs. Deepak Cyril and Mohini Ranganathan of Yale University caution against the rush to legalize medical marijuana and suggest that “perhaps it is time to place the horse back in front of the cart.”
So, smoking pot ain’t the cure-all claimed by its advocates. Medical marijuana is a fraud that has been perpetrated on the pubic and on the legislators in the 23 states that have legalized it.

FIRST THEY SHOOT UNARMED BLACKS …
… now, on the way to jail, they stop and treat a racist killer to a Burger King meal
BarkGrowlBite | June 23, 2015
Do you want more proof that cops are racists? Well here it is. After Dylan Roof shot nine African-Americans to death at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, he fled to North Carolina where he was arrested in Shelby, some 200 miles from the scene of the shootings.
And what dastardly deed did the Shelby cops do to prove they are racists? Shelby Police Chief Jeff Ledford revealed that when they arrested Roof, he told the cops he was hungry. Instead of taking him directly to jail, they stopped off at a Burger King and treated the white racist killer to a burger, fries and soda.
Had Roof been black and killed nine white churchgoers, the Shelby cops, or any other white cops, would have shot the black man dead, preferably in the back, of course.
People are now outraged that the Shelby cops had the audacity to take Roof for a treat at a Burger King.
First the cops shoot unarmed blacks in the back and now they treat a white racist killer to a Burger King meal. What more proof do you need that cops are racists?
