But it’s okay for water companies to pump effluent and raw sewage, into waterways. Instead of being penalised, they are given public funds, which will probably go towards paying dividends to shareholders and the salaries of top bosses. Bargain basement Britain

This is chilling!!! Trump gave the Pentagon control of 170 square miles of U.S. land—now a militarized zone called the “New Mexico National Defense Area.” This move walks the line of Posse Comitatus and edges toward the Insurrection Act—to go after migrants. But it doesn’t have to stop there.
