As Mike Pence hid from a marauding mob during the Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol, an attorney for Trump emailed a top Pence aide to say that Pence had caused the violence by refusing to block certification of Trump’s election loss.

The attorney, John Eastman, also continued to press for Pence to act even after Trump’s supporters had trampled through the Capitol — an attack the Pence aide, Greg Jacob, had described as a “siege” in their email exchange.

“The ‘siege’ is because YOU and your boss did not do
what was necessary to allow this to be aired in a public way so that the American people can see for themselves what happened,” Eastman wrote to Jacob, referring to Trump’s claims of voter fraud

We have a pipeline here in PA that will be carrying extremely volatile fracking waste liquids from the fields to the port, to transport overseas to be made into single use plastics, making Sunoco/ @EnergyTransfer billions of dollars. Not a dime for PA taxpayers.

Sunoco made the decision to put no odor into this fluid, so no one will know if there is a leak. This liquid does not rise like gas, it sits on the ground. It is invisible. There is a 5 mile blast zone, that's how bad it is. There is no emergency plan because it is impossible

to make one. If there is a leak, it will explode, and you have no chance of surviving if you are in the zone.

The history of FDA approvals of opioids

1995
At the time of approval, FDA believed the controlled-release formulation of OxyContin would result in less abuse potential, since the drug would be absorbed slowly

and there would not be an immediate “rush” or high that would promote abuse. 

🔥In part, FDA based its judgment on the prior marketing history of a similar product (marketing created by Richard Sackler and Purdue Pharma), MS Contin, a controlled-release formulation of morphine
approved by FDA and used in the medical community since 1987 without significant reports of abuse and misuse.

Early 2000s (5 years)
Reports of overdose and death from prescription drug products, especially opioids, began to rise sharply, with Oxy at the center.

The elusive millionaire Svetlana Krivonogikh lives in Saint Petersburg. She is lavished with gifts by friends of Putin and her daughter bears an uncanny resemblance to the head of state. Her story also reveals the real owner of Bank Rossiya

This is full on Nazi shit

The report shows political appointees at DHS pressured career analysts to further the Trump administration’s political agenda. The report, made available Friday by U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, opb.org/article/2021/1…
found that in addition to attempting to politicize intelligence, senior DHS leaders pressured subordinates to illegally search phones. Open source intelligence collectors also created dossiers on protesters and journalists, despite those people having no clear connections to
domestic terrorism or homeland security concerns.

DHS senior leaders’ attempts at the time to connect the racial justice protests to a centrally organized effort by antifa to commit violence against government institutions — a shocking admission of organizational overreach
