Oops, my bad - that was seized at a PORT. Same way most illegal drugs get into the country.

ha. I saw this video the other day. It literally explains what happened right under the video:

"The explosion occurred on Sunday morning at the Klaratunnel, after the bus reportedly struck its top. Witnesses say the inferno started when a gas tank located on top of the bus exploded due to the impact."

Sorry, I know you desperately wanted it to be some terrorist stuff. That's your basic driver not taking into account the height of the vehicle. This type of stuff:

We got more, Round 2. They're trying to beat up on @offthehandle in the other thread, hope he makes it out ok. Here is that Mexican Coke - https://www.amazon.com/Mexican-Coke-Glass-Bottles-Pack/dp/B0012ZYZ5I

I was more polite than usual with him. I even erased the photos I posted, it's kinda green new deal for me to tout scratched glass bottles- but I like them. I hate plastic bottle waste and aluminum canned soft drinks. That guy is in head over heels in love with his .whatevers and I was having some fun. I don't know if you see what I found but names like superior.investments are not even registered.

Surprised you didn't like the Mexican coke, I used to buy it when I saw in Taquerias in CA. Sprite also is much better with real sugar. I stopped drinking it too much as too many calories. There is a place in LA called http://www.realsoda.com that had a huge warehouse full of glass bottled crazy off brands worldwide- (NO cans allowed) I found this spicy ginger ale- http://www.blenheimgingerale.com (made north of you in South Carolina) and used to drive miles to buy it. I found it down in this part of the world in a different type, brand and size recently.

I was surprised as well. I was all excited when it came, thought I would love it. But not sure what the deal was, so just gave the rest away. Amazon has all kinds of real sugar + sodas, Mountain Dew throwback - https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Dew-Throwback-Cans-Count/dp/B00TFRA0KO

Could make a nice little affiliate site, real sugar soda stuff. Pretty decent selection - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=real+sugar&i=grocery&rh=n:16310101,n:16318231&dc&qid=1552366206&rnid=16310211&ref=sr_nr_n_1

The original intent as I thought was to benefit the northern states so kids were not going to school during the dark in the morning, school buses, etc. But... reading 3 articles no mention.

so.. googled and this came up to do with energy conservation. hmm.
The more I read it seems, the more writers need to put drama and fear or emotion into whatever they write. "SOAR"- like that word was necessary? "in the risk". Who paid for that study, how was it conducted, etc. They don't mention kids in the morning "Fewer pedestrians".

https://www.livescience.com/11069-started-daylight-saving-time.html

"However, recent research indicates that pedestrian fatalities from cars soar at 6:00 p.m. during the weeks after clocks are set back in the fall. Walkers are three times as likely to be hit and killed by cars right after the switch than in the month before DST ends. Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, who found a 186 percent jump in the risk of being killed by a car for every mile walked, speculate that drivers go through an adjustment period when dusk arrives earlier. Although the risk drops in the morning, because there are fewer pedestrians at 6:00 a.m., the lives saved in the morning don’t offset those lost in the evening."

http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/c.html

This seems overly dramatic- "Heart attacks":

"Russ Diamond is a Republican lawmaker from Lebanon County in central Pennsylvania. Diamond wants to eliminate Daylight Saving Time because of research that shows an increase in heart attacks, car crashes, and work-related injuries during the two weeks after we "spring forward."

Media Matter editor attacking Carlson has her own history of racist, homophobic rants.

“I am so sick of the media dictating the terms of the narrative in this country. I’m so sick of having to be apologetic for who I am. I’m so sick of people in Middle America being called flyover country or slope-headed.

“The left pits people against each other. Divide and conquer is the strategy. I don’t want to live in that world. It is the exact opposite of E Pluribus Unum.

“And the Tea Party movement…and all of the people that have gone out there against the media and said, you’re gonna call us potential racists? You’re gonna call us potential Timothy McVeighs? F**k you. War!

Spoiler:: Giving straws to everyone would be socialism. Supplying demand is capitalism.

Socialism is the government taking money from some people, wasting half of it, then giving what's left to other people.

A business providing straws it paid for is customer service.

Remember anyone here in the US who doesn't like any part of Socialism can always deny receiving their Social Security and Medicare when they are eligible.

Any takers here?

Can also dig a well on your own property so nobody’s paying for your water supply and the cleanliness of your water. And make sure you have a septic tank - wouldn’t want a hint of socialism using other people’s tax dollars to get rid of your poop....

Our Dumb President again:

Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace: “The whole climate crisis is not only Fake News, it’s Fake Science. There is no climate crisis, there’s weather and climate all around the world, and in fact carbon dioxide is the main building block of all life.” @foxandfriends Wow!
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 6h6 hours ago

Greenpeace has hit back against President Donald Trump for tweeting a climate change denial from a former member of the environmental group.

Greenpeace said Mr Moore was not a founder, but a nuclear lobbyist who does not represent the group.

What did Greenpeace say?
In a statement, Greenpeace said Mr Moore "frequently cites a long-ago affiliation with Greenpeace to gain legitimacy in the media, and media outlets often either state or imply that Mr Moore still represents Greenpeace. He does not."

“Jewish people are leaving the Democratic Party. We saw a lot of anti Israel policies start under the Obama Administration, and it got worsts & worse. There is anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. They don’t care about Israel or the Jewish people.” Elizabeth Pipko, Jexodus.

Maybe somebody should tell him when you suck up to Nazis, it's not going to help those numbers out.

Trump says Jews are leaving the Democratic Party. It's not true.
