Kid next door to me was buying pot from whomever. One day it was laced with fentanyl he either didn’t know or did, dunno. He died from it. Crack did a good job cleaning up the gutter trash. Took its time, but it was obvious who was using while turning them into skels like the junkies. This shit is a one and done if not cut right and the kids are buying it online as everything else not knowing.

Israel and Iran edge closer to war, but experts say conflict isn't inevitable
Escalating tensions between Iran and Israel have brought the two countries to the verge of war.
Israel and Iran edge closer to war, but experts say conflict isn't inevitable
A top Pentagon official testified earlier this week that Tehran has made 'remarkable' progress in enriching uranium that could be used for a nuclear weapon.
WASHINGTON — Escalating tensions between Iran and Israel have brought the two countries to the verge of war. While experts disagree on the probability of military conflict between the Jewish state and the Islamic Republic, they agree that the present moment is rife with potential pitfalls.
Iran could be approaching the capacity to manufacture a nuclear weapon; a top Pentagon official testified earlier this week that Tehran has made “remarkable” progress and could be within 12 days of enriching sufficient uranium for a nuclear weapon.
In response, Israel is preparing for military intervention to stop what it and many Western nations believe could be a disastrous development that should be prevented at all costs.
But war could be disastrous, too.
“This is a very, very dangerous situation,” said Bernard Avishai, a professor of government at Dartmouth, who has written extensively on Israel.
The question being asked in Washington and other world capitals is whether the danger today is truly greater than it has been in recent years, or whether the threat of war is being overstated for political ends.
Maybe there is truth to both views.

You don't mess with a country that has had "A SIX DAY WAR" that they won.
You'd think that they would have taken the time and effort to start addressing this red tide problem. It happens yearly, the only variable being how long it lasts..
Regrettably the need for golf courses takes precedent over the environmental cost...
No surprises here...
The House Ethics Committee announced Thursday that it had opened an investigation into Representative George Santos, the embattled Republican from New York under scrutiny for lies about his background and questions about his campaign finances.
The inquiry will cover several areas where Mr. Santos has been accused of financial or sexual misconduct. The committee said in a statement that it would seek to determine whether Mr. Santos had failed to properly disclose information on his House financial disclosures, violated federal conflict of interest laws or engaged in other unlawful activity during his 2022 congressional campaign. It will also examine an allegation of sexual misconduct from a prospective congressional aide who briefly worked in Mr. Santos’s office.
Mr. Santos, who represents parts of Long Island and Queens, said on Twitter that he was “fully cooperating” with the investigation and would not comment further.
The action began on Tuesday when the 10-member body, split evenly between Republicans and Democrats, voted unanimously to create an investigative subcommittee to scrutinize Mr. Santos, according to a statement released on Thursday by the committee’s top-ranking Republican and Democratic members.
The subcommittee will have four members — two Democrats and two Republicans — and will be led by Representative David Joyce, Republican of Ohio.
Two Democratic lawmakers from New York first requested an ethics investigation in January, and a number of Mr. Santos’s Republican colleagues have voiced support for the move.
Kevin McCarthy, the House speaker, has largely pinned Mr. Santos’s fate in Congress on the results of a House ethics investigation.
Even though some of Mr. Santos’s House Republican colleagues, as well as local Republican officials in New York, have urged Mr. Santos to step aside, Mr. McCarthy has said that he would not pressure the first-term representative to do so. But he has vowed that the House would “take action” if the Ethics Committee found a reason to do so.
Mr. McCarthy’s stance toward Mr. Santos, who is also facing inquiries from federal and local prosecutors and the Federal Election Commission, appears to have hardened in recent weeks.
Even as some Republicans expressed unwillingness to work with Mr. Santos while he faced investigations, Mr. McCarthy and Republican leaders initially appointed him to two committees. At the time, Mr. McCarthy argued that Mr. Santos was duly elected and should not be penalized.
But Mr. Santos later removed himself from the committees at the direction of House leadership.
“We’re not allowing him to be on committees,” Mr. McCarthy said last month, later adding that he and Mr. Santos “had a conversation and we decided it’s best at this moment.”
The timeline of the Ethics Committee’s investigation remains unclear. Critics often argue that the body moves too slowly, with representatives generally preferring to see other lawmakers resign or reach the end of their terms rather than having to dole out punishments to their colleagues.
If the committee finds that Mr. Santos has committed an ethics violation, it has a range of disciplinary options, including imposing fines or recommending the House pass resolutions to censure or reprimand him. In extreme cases, the committee can recommend a member be expelled from the House, but such an action is rare and would require a two-thirds majority vote.

Tucker Carlson shares new January 6 footage
Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night began airing previously-unseen footage from the January 6 riot, which he said showed those storming the Capitol were 'orderly and meek'.
Amazing even the only Capital Police officer allegedly killed was alive and well after he was supposedly beaten unconscious with a fire extinguisher. Good ole Ray was all over starting crap and inside and no arrest.
