#Aghori #Thread
They stop at the city of #Varanasi (Banaras) on the banks of the river Ganges, where the most revered temple of Kashi Vishwanath stands proudly. Aghori are devotees of Shiva, manifested as Bhairava, who seek salvation from the cycle of rebirth.
This freedom is the realization of one's identity with the Absolute.

For #DhuniwaleBhaba (as the locals call him) swears in a completely profane manner for virtually no reason.

The federal gun ban for #marijuana users is absurdly unconstitutional considering the legality & decriminalization of both medical & recreational marijuana at the state level

No one should go to jail for engaging in lawful activity & also choosing to exercise their #2A rights
Similarly, the lifetime gun ban for "domestic abusers" is problematic as a ban on the right to self-defense for those who have only been convicted of a misdemeanor

In America, you don't lose your right to vote, serve on a jury, etc. for a misdemeanor. That's how we punish felons
“Watching these cases and watching these judges strike down these unconstitutional categories is a great thing for America,” said @RealGunLobbyist federal affairs director of @GunOwners in @WashTimes

1- research shows very limited if any specific advantage for marijuana (THC, CBD, etc) in treating any medical conditions. And to date, the FDA has not approved a marketing application for cannabis for the treatment of any disease or condition.
2- there is some research that shows some applications in adjunct treatment of a rare kinds of epilepsy ( Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or Dravet syndrome) and also as an appetite stimulant in cancer, AIDS or Alzheimer’s patients.

In 2002, Mike Hackett (convicted cocaine trafficker) was pushing to have his own @CityofSalinas Airport Hanger - just like Tanimura & Antle, and D'Arrigo Farms

Word on the street back then was Hackett was storing a Ferrari in a hanger at the airport and routinely made trips to
2/

Vegas in a plane that was made available to him - one question is whose plane was it and what hanger did Hackett park his Ferrari?

On or around the same year, 2002, Hackett was forced out of Valley Pallet (a business his father and mother created) for "unknown reasons".

Just 8 years later (2010) as Marijuana legalization is on the table and coming to California, Hackett is well positioned to become MoCo's #Marijuana kingpin - he used money to buy greenhouses when the flower growers were going bankrupt from increased competition.

11 common ways men damage their #sperm without knowing

1. Tight underwears
2. Hot baths
3. Infections
4. Varicoceles
5. Laptops
6. Drugs
7. Mobile phones
8. Smoking
9. Marijuana
10. Heavy drinking
11. Steroids

A thread 🧵

{Share to who needs this!}
Wear boxers instead of tight pants, & go to bed naked if you want to become a father!

Wearing tight #underwears like pants or shorts keep your testicles closer to the body, leading to warmer temperatures that may kill sperm & lower your sperm count.
Bathing with #hotwater frequently exposes your testicles to heat, which can reduce your sperm count.

Same thing happens to men who use saunas often.

In fact, if you're worried about infertility, it's best to bath with normal or lukewarm water.

Avoid hot water baths!

2/

clearly criminal conduct within the City of Salinas - where Caballero was just starting out as a new Mayor.

Ultimately @Kelly_McMillin was a beneficiary of this rigged promotional process, becoming chief in 2012 and retiring to work in in #marijuana in 2016/17.

McMillin associated with known narco-traffickers as a police chief.

That was Anna Caballero's corrupt influence on Monterey County law enforcement. It wasn't the beginning and it isn't the end, but the unprecedented corruption experience in Monterey County - largely

For all you driverless cars fanatics, the governor's #nybudget proposal extends the existing pilot
program for testing of autonomous vehicles for another two years. Also calls for ending the state's "one-hand on the wheel" requirement with regards to autonomous
vehicles.
Governor's #nybudget would make ALL vacation rentals subject to state and local sales taxes. Taxes would be collected by renting service (#airbnb, VRBO, etc.).

These types of local taxes are collected in a piecemeal fashion based on various county agreements.
Gov. Cuomo proposes giving counties the ability to retain their 4% local sales tax rate without repeatedly getting authorization from the state to go above 3%. This would eliminate a lot of legislative busy work in Albany.

.@bradleyzeve has a bias, why?

"Thus far, the rest of the Monterey County press corps has declined to take on this topic, partly because of tensions between the local media & Schneider while he was running Bernal’s successful sheriff’s campaign in 2014." voicesofmontereybay.org/2020/12/12/sta…
2/

The @mcweekly has no business withholding important news from the community they serve because they are butt-hurt over a political consultant who ran a campaign for @SheriffBernal (a guy @bradleyzeve has gone soft on because of his weird relationship with Armanasco & Panetta)
3/

But even the claim that it's "hurt butts" causing local, dilapidated print journalism, like the @mcweekly, @MontereyHerald and @salnews to ignore the illegal and consequential conduct of Steve Bernal following his 2014 Sheriff's race win.

It isn't.

Chairman @RepMcGovern begins by saying it's a historic day, because the rules committee is addressing marijuana reform. #cannabisnews
GOP Rep. Rob Woodall says that if we refuse to enforce federal laws, we should repeal those laws.

Adds though that he has letters from AAA and the Surgeon General saying there are still worries about fully reforming marijuana reform.

Political consultant - charged with rape in Monterey County, at a local fmr. @CityofSalinas council-members house (who now works as a political consultant).

The case is grinding its way through the MoCo judicial system with a jury trial scheduled for February 2021.

This trial should prove to be interesting for two reasons. @SalinasPD's role in the investigation. @MCoSheriff Sgt. Bryan Hoskins digging in and pushing the case forward - as he is supposed to do (well done).

The second reason is an @FBI investigation into Fickas' role in
