political views can experience overflow and do wrap around
many of the alternative-medicine ingredients in her products are sold on the Infowars store. Moon Juice is frequently recommended by Goop; it’s a favorite of Hollywood celebrities and others who can afford things like $25 “activated cashews.” Infowars, on the other hand, is a dark corner of the American right, heavy on guns, light on government intervention, and still very mad at Obama.
Ryan should have trusted his instincts. Johnson and his colleagues were not documentarians. They were undercover FBI agents posing as filmmakers. By the time they sat down with Ryan, Johnson and his team had spent 8 months traveling to at least 5 states to film interviews with 24 people about the Bundy standoff, all part of an FBI effort to build criminal cases against the Bundys and their supporters.

When an awful, amateurish show collaborates with some country bumpkin police
NBC’s “To Catch a Predator” arrived in Murphy, Texas, to conduct a sting operation. The only honest thing that followed was the gunshot.
there was once a national movement to eliminate Chinese restaurants, using innovative legal methods to drive them out. Chinese restaurants were objectionable for 2 reasons. First, they threatened white women, who were subject to seduction by Chinese men, through intrinsic female weakness, or employment of nefarious techniques such as opium addiction.

This seems to be something of a regular occurrence now. In the recent past, several foreign countries have celebrated how stunningly real video game graphics have become by using them to pretend they are really great at war. The Egyptians did it to pretend that Russia was fighting ISIS, the Iranians did it to pretend that their forces could shoot people from a really long way away, and the North Koreans did it to pretend that they could deliver a nuclear ICBM to our soil. Well, perhaps there is some synergy to be found over Korea’s DMZ, because the South Koreans recently released footage detailing how super-awesome their new fighter jet program is, and that footage included several clips from both Battlefield 3 and Ace Combat.
this should be more widely adopted, so we can replace super-expensive pretend programs like F35 with the much cheaper just pretending.

Teens absorb social media news without considering the source; parents can teach research skills and skepticism
if you were worried that they have stopped making dummies, don’t worry!
in a very short order, there was a significant amount of dissolving due to the churning, acidic water. Search and rescue rangers who arrived later did find the victim’s body in the pool, along with his wallet, and flip flops. But, a lightning storm stopped the recovery efforts. The next day, workers could not find any remains.
