Dr. Jordan B. Peterson’s “We Who Wrestle With God: Perceptions of the Divine,” topped a New York Times bestseller list Friday, a week after it took the top spot on Amazon. “The @nytimes is (no doubt) Thrilled to announce that Dr. Jordan B Peterson’s We Who Wrestle with God is Number 1!,” Peterson joked on Instagram Friday. The book holds the number one spot on the Times’ “Advice, How-To & Miscellaneous” chart, beating out a number of popular books, including James Clear’s “Atomic Habits,” which has spent 261 weeks on the list.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Dr. Jordan B. Peterson (@jordan.b.peterson) Based on Peterson’s worldwide lecture series of the same title, “We Who Wrestle With God” examines the Bible both “scientifically and spiritually,” offering new insights into well-known biblical stories like that of Cain and Abel, the Tower of Babel, and Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. “We Who Wrestle With God” became the number one book on Amazon just days after its release. “We Who Wrestle with God” is now available on Amazon. Readers who want more of Peterson’s insight into the Biblical epic can check out his new series, “The Gospels,” which will be available to stream on DailyWire+ December 1. Speaking to Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro during a recent episode of The Sunday Special, Peterson explained his view that the Bible is ultimately a story of sacrifice — and that this story offers an important reminder in our hyper-individualistic times. “There’s no difference between work and sacrifice, because work is the sacrifice of the future to story, the sacrifice of the present to the future, and the sacrifice of the narrow self to the community,” Peterson said.  “If it’s all about me in the most narrow way, then there’s no community, right? There’s only the immediate gratification of my whim … and I have to impose those whims on other people using power, because they’re not going to cooperate voluntarily if it’s all about me.” Along with his latest best-selling book, Peterson has also recently released a new series on DailyWire+. Peterson’s “Mastering Life Collection” is available to stream now. The series includes “Masculinity,” “Marriage,” “Vision & Destiny,” “Depression & Anxiety,” “Negotiation,” and “Success.”

They can usually be found close to or around your home. Today, I’ll cover the uses for medicinal weeds such as jewelweed, knotweed, ground elder, and field bindweed. Medicinal weeds can work wonders if you just give them a chance! Medicinal Weeds | Commonly Found Around Your Home Word of caution… As I did in part 1-7, I would like to share with you two articles which include information on safety precautions you need to be aware of when foraging for wild, edible, plants. In my article, Foraging Tips for the 7 Most Common Edible Plants, I share great tips on things to consider and to look out for when you forage for any and all wild, edible plants. Another great article, “Need To Know” Rules When Picking Edible & Medicinal Plants, is written by Mykel Hawke, star of Discovery’s “Man, Woman, Wild”. He also talks about considerations and safety precautions to take when foraging in the wild. I sincerely encourage you to read these articles if you have never foraged for wild and edible plants. Foraging can be a great experience but, safety precautions are a must! Let’s get started! Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) If you have made the unfortunate mistake of walking through poison ivy, don’t wander too far because the antidote could quite possibly be just a few feet to a few yards away! The old saying “If you come across poison ivy, the cure is close by” is true. Jewelweed often times grows along the same area(s) as poison ivy. The flowers of this plant are yellowish orange with a loop in the bottom and have red or white spots in the open end which sometimes droops downward. To use jewelweed as a treatment for poison ivy, cut up the stem and just rub the juice from the stem onto your poison ivy rash. Also, you can chew the leaves and flowers for a few minutes and then smear them onto the poison ivy rash. You can also treat skin conditions such as eczema, ringworm, and insect bites in the same way you treat poison ivy rashes. Knotweed (Polygonum aviculare) This wild plant, which can grow to 30 cm in height, has skinny stems with leaves opposite of each other and has tiny white flowers. The young leaves are a rich source of zinc and can be used as a potherb. The seeds (which are tiny) can be ground up into a powder and added to recipes such as pancakes or biscuits. As an herb, it has safe and effective diuretic properties used to treat the symptoms of dysentery, hemorrhoids, and kidney stones. As an herb, it can also be used to treat the symptoms of pulmonary issues such as bronchitis. Ground Elder (Aegopodium podagraria) This wild plant has white flower clusters at the top of the stem. The leaves have 3 dull points to them and the stem has a triangular shape. This plant is invasive and can take over other plants around it. Even the tiniest portion of a root can grow a new ground elder plant. The above portions of this plant are edible, meaning the roots are not. The young leaves can be used in salads. The ground elder plant has diuretic and laxative properties and is used medicinally to treat symptoms of arthritis, rheumatism, bladder issues, and gout. This is just one of many medicinal weeds! Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) Also referred to as ‘wild morning glory’, this wild plant can often be spotted in fields or pastures. Field bindweed is a vine type of weed that has arrow shaped leaves. The flowers are pink and white with trumpet shaped petals and blooms between June and September. This wild plant is extremely difficult to eradicate due to the fact that the seeds can stay viable in the soil for 20 years! This plant can sprout new growth just from a tiny fragment of the root system. Field bindweed can be used medicinally as a tea. Tea made from the leaves can be used topically to clean spider bites. Drinking the tea can reduce the severity of menstruation and also possesses laxative properties. Tea made from the flowers can be used topically to treat minor wounds. Drinking the tea can reduce fever and possesses laxatives properties. Tea made from the roots also has laxative properties along with having emetic effects, which means it can induce vomiting. Do not consume if you are pregnant or nursing.

Pro-Trump CNN contributor Scott Jennings said he has joined the L.A.Times editorial board in an effort to bring more ideological balance to the outlet. Jennings confirmed the development on Friday after Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Times, announced it on social media. 'I plan to represent those Americans who believe they are often ignored or even ridiculed in legacy media.' "Growing the board with experts who have thoughtful balanced views and new candidates are accepting the challenge to join us! Way to go Scott and thanks for accepting," wrote Soon-Shiong. The balancing of the board comes after several employees quit from the Times in protest of an order from the owner to list explain the advantages and disadvantages of the policies of both candidates rather than endorse one over the other. The Times was excoriated by many on the left and several employees lambasted the owner for the decision. One former editor said they were getting ready to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris when owner Soon-Shiong issued the order. "Instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board chose to remain silent and I accepted their decision," he said at the time. Jennings responded to the owner's statement with his own. "I’ve written columns for the paper over the last few years and was honored to do so under such a storied and important masthead. I love newspapers and believe in strong journalism and strong opinion pages that represent a wide array of views," he wrote on social media. "I approach my commentary jobs by starting with the truth and then providing my honest opinion based on my conservative values and experience. I think Dr Soon-Shiong is doing something important and groundbreaking and am honored he asked me to play a role in that," Jennings added. " I plan to represent those Americans who believe they are often ignored or even ridiculed in legacy media and applaud Dr Soon-Shiong’s move to bring balance to the editorial board." In response to the controversy in October, the L.A. Times union begged readers to stop cancelling their subscriptions because it would hurt workers who had nothing to do with the endorsement decision. "Before you hit the "cancel" button: That subscription underwrites the salaries of hundreds of journalists in our newsroom. Our member-journalists work every day to keep readers informed during these tumultuous times," read a statement from the union. After the election Soon-Shiong said he would be changing the editorial board to make it more balanced. Like Blaze News?

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida to meet with President-elect Donald Trump after he issued a tariff threat to Canada and two other nations. The Associated Press cited a source saying that Trudeau was to have dinner with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc is said to have accompanied Trudeau on the trip. 'It is through lots of real constructive conversations with President Trump that I am going to have, that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians.' Trump issued a statement Monday that Canada and Mexico would both face a 25% on the first day of his second term unless they took steps to stop the flow of illegal aliens, and illicit drugs into the U.S. through their respective borders. He also said China would face an additional 10% tariff unless the country did more to stop shipments into the U.S. of fentanyl. Mexico's newly elected President Claudia Sheinbaum responded in a public letter warning Trump that her country could respond with their own tariffs but that the trade war would only lead to a loss of jobs and higher inflation for both countries. "Among Mexico's main exporters to the United States are General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford Motor Company, which arrived in Mexico 80 years ago," she wrote. "Why impose a tariff that would jeopardize them?"Trudeau had previously told reporters that he would resolve the tariff threat by talking to Trump directly. “We’re going to work together to meet some of the concerns,” he said at Prince Edward Island. “But ultimately it is through lots of real constructive conversations with President Trump that I am going to have, that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians.”He also argued that tariffs would just hurt both countries. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said. "Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business."Some defenders of Trump's tariffs threats have claimed that they are only a negotiating tool to force other nations to further U.S. interests.
