The company also said in a Wednesday statement that it will not push back on a Trump administration plan to pull flavored e-cigarettes from the market until the controversial products win approval from federal regulators.

As the Impeach-o-crats continue in their rabid quest to remove our beloved President Trump from office WITHOUT BASIS, I am reminded of the NUMEROUS FELONIES AND OTHER HIGH CRIMES committed by these evil America-haters for which they've ESCAPED JUSTICE. I am asking my fellow FReepers to help me compile THE DEFINITIVE ITEMIZED LIST of Democrats who've ESCAPED JUSTICE for their serious crimes, knowing THEIR Deep State media will continue to PROTECT THEM BY COMPLETELY IGNORING THEIR CRIMES AND DISTRACTING US WITH FAKE ACCUSATIONS ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP. Do we have a Two-Tiered justice system in the United States? Yes. Do our...

An unnamed Senate staffer told the Washington Beacon’s Stephen Gutowski that gun control legislation is dead for now, as “the impeachment inquiry” is looming. The universal background checks, “assault weapons” ban, and other gun controls that were front and center and presented as critical for public safety are now back-burner items.

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation. Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of...

don't think people are watching this the way we do, the way news people, the way political junkies do. The average person in Kansas and Iowa and all these other places you’re talking about, they're busy with their lives. Now, watch it every day. See what he did. Then come to your conclusion about whether he's destroying the country or not. Sunny Hostin agreed, saying that was why it was important to have impeachment proceedings,( to bring the public to the left?) Yet McCain reiterated, “69% [disapproval of impeachment] is a staggering number.” Abby Huntsman pointed out that after Nancy...

Sept. 25 (UPI) -- An iPhone lost in a South Carolina river was found underwater 15 months later and still functions thanks to a waterproof case. Erica Bennett said she and her family were on a river float tour with Edisto River Adventures in June 2018 when her phone fell overboard. "We got done with the river float and gathered all of our belongings up and it just fell and we didn't notice it fell into the water," Bennett told WCIV-TV. Bennett said her husband, Jason, searched for the iPhone underwater, but was unable to find it. She said she...

DeSantis failed to prove the charges in his suspension order, special master Dudley Goodlette wrote in a report released Wednesday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was singing a very different tune on impeachment when it was President Bill Clinton who was being accused by a Republican-led House of Representatives. “Today the Republican majority is not judging the president with fairness, but impeaching him with a vengeance," then-House Minority Leader Pelosi declared on the House floor in December 1998. She continued, "In the investigation of the president, fundamental principles which Americans hold dear -- fairness, privacy, checks and balances -- have been seriously violated and why? Because we are here today because the Republicans in the House are paralyzed with hatred of...

A hair stylist has revealed that we should only wash our hair once a week - and we can just use water to rinse it in between washes. Paul Windle, owner of Windle London, reveals that if you wash your hair too much you get a rebound effect and the scalp keeps making more oil - therefore making it look and feel more greasy. The top stylist also revealed that if our hair does feel dirty then a simple rinse with water can be just as effective as using a product, as shampoos and conditioners just loosen any dirt in...

During a speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that the release of the transcript of one of President Trump’s calls with Ukraine “will not assuage our concerns or the public’s concerns. Based on early reports, it may heighten them.” Schumer said, “The release of the transcript of one of President Trump’s calls with President Zelensky, which just came out, will not assuage our concerns or the public’s concerns. Based on early reports, it may heighten them. We must remember the president was reported to have several calls with President Zelensky over the...

President Donald Trump did not exert pressure or offer any repayment when he asked Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to probe the dealings of former vice president Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, according to a transcript (pdf) of a call between the two leaders released by the White House on Sept. 25. During the call, Zelensky was the first to bring up Rudy Giuliani, the Trump attorney who had looked into the Ukrainian business dealings of Hunter Biden.

Church leaders in the Diocese of Rochester have called for the government to enforce stricter rules on the sale of domestic knives. They’ve written an open letter asking for a ban on the sale of pointed kitchen knives. The letter was also signed by leading crime experts, as well as MPs, and community leaders. It comes after a conference called The Point in Chatham last week raised awareness of the issue, as statistics show that there has been an 80 per cent rise in knife crime in the UK since 2014. The signatories have urged Government to "take urgent measures...

Senators voted Wednesday to rebuke President Trump and cancel his border emergency, saying he overstepped his powers in grabbing $3.6 billion Congress approved for military construction projects and instead spending it on his campaign promise to build a border wall. The 54-41 vote is unlikely to stop the president, though. While the measure is likely to pass the House, a veto is expected — and Wednesday’s tally showed there are more than enough Republicans ready to sustain Mr. Trump... The vote was a do-over. Congress held a similar vote in March, after Mr. Trump, furious that Congress approved only $1.375...

It didn’t take long for the promise of electric vehicles to takes over the automotive industry, and for motorcycle manufacturers, the revelation of innovative technologies, instantaneous power delivery, and lightweight cells seemed like too good of an opportunity to pass up. As you might imagine, the inclusion of battery-powered peripherals found new life in the two-wheeled medium, with droves of prominent companies, developers, and engineers flocking to the new frontier for a shot at stardom. While electric motorcycles have been in development for the past decade or so, the industry is currently at its apex. From juggernauts like Arc and...

As Donald Trump began his meteoric rise to the presidency, the Obama White House summoned Ukrainian authorities to Washington to coordinate ongoing anti-corruption efforts inside Russia’s most critical neighbor. The January 2016 gathering, confirmed by multiple participants and contemporaneous memos, brought some of Ukraine’s top corruption prosecutors and investigators face to face with members of former President Obama’s National Security Council (NSC), FBI, State Department and Department of Justice (DOJ). The agenda suggested the purpose was training and coordination. But Ukrainian participants said it didn’t take long — during the meetings and afterward — to realize the Americans’ objectives included...

Greta, 16, shed tears on Monday during a passionate speech at the UN Climate Summit, as she slammed world leaders for "stealing my childhood". The youngster has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, selective mutism and OCD. During a debate on Good Morning Britain, Piers said he felt "uncomfortable" during her speech, knowing she has come from a "damaged background which should not be ignored". But co-host Susanna said she found it difficult listening to Piers having a go at her. She said: "I find it very uncomfortable you criticising her. I think describing her as 'unstable' it is very unfair."...

An announcement from my legal guy, Zen Master, on the court/judge situation: Senate Hearings on Eugene Scalia for Labor Secretary will run about 30 hours and will bump back confirmation of two more judges this week. Scalia is a great choice. Now, here is the article "A Whole New Ballgame" https://empiricalscotus.com/2019/09/25/a-whole-new-ballgame/ It shows that not only is Trump moving faster than anyone else (MUCH faster than Zero) but that his nominees are MUCH more conservative, much more likely to be truly "diverse" as means coming from someplace other than Harvard or Yale (U AL, U GA, U Texas law schools,...

The boomerang from the Democratic Party’s failed attempt to connect Donald Trump to Russia’s 2016 election meddling is picking up speed, and its flight path crosses right through Moscow’s pesky neighbor, Ukraine. That is where there is growing evidence a foreign power was asked, and in some cases tried, to help Hillary Clinton. In its most detailed account yet, the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington says a Democratic National Committee (DNC) insider during the 2016 election solicited dirt on Donald Trump’s campaign chairman and even tried to enlist the country's president to help. In written answers to questions, Ambassador Valeriy Chaly's...
