- County that rejected installation of weather warning system, had the camp apply for exceptions to flood zone building, supported Trump cuts to NOAA and FEMA, now complains they aren't getting relief/disaster support and funds...
- American Eagle likes eugenics? Voretaq doesn't care. I think it's wrong to tacitly normalize Nazi tactics. But whatever, right? Some say it's just an ad, or you're reading into it,...this link makes the connection between AE CEO and Trump means it's a little less coincidence they're celebrating Aryan-appearing Sweeney as having the best genes.
- They knew leaded gas was a poison. It was also profitable. So...we had leaded gas.
