Cannabis-Legalisierung: Experten warnen vor möglichen Kosten
Nach der Teillegalisierung von Cannabis rechnen Experten mit mehr Konsumenten. Dies könnte neue volkswirtschaftliche Kosten verursachen - unter anderem durch nötige Ausgaben für Suchtprävention. Von Mona Botros.
Prosecutors in Trump’s #criminal trial say he has violated a #GagOrder barring him from attacking #witnesses, #jurors & others close to the case. Testimony is set to resume later Tuesday morning.
#Pecker described himself as broker of the #CatchAndKill schemes. He or others would help #MichaelCohen suppress negative stories about #Trump, especially w/respect to "women selling stories."
Pecker basically confessed to creating #FakeNews on behalf of Trump.
Pecker said he expected "there would be a lot of women who would come out to try to sell their stories,” because he was known as "the most eligible bachelor & dated the most beautiful women." (His words)
#Trump was all over on the negative coverage of #TedCruz in 2016. The #TrumpCampaign acted like it came about organically & Trump was just reacting to it.
Pecker was asked about #MichaelCohen's relationship to the Trump campaign. #Pecker said Cohen always said he didn't work for the campaign, & that he was instead "Mr. Trump's personal attorney." But he also testified that Cohen fed them negative info about opponents.
"Michael was physically in every aspect of whatever the campaign was working on," #Pecker said. He added that #MichaelCohen wasn't officially employed by the campaign, & may have heard things “informally" or "injected himself into it."
Pecker threw defense a bone when he said he didn’t know who Cohen spoke to, & that Cohen may have been acting of his own volition by getting more involved w/the campaign. [sure]
Pecker was being asked about an infamous #NationalEnquirer story linking Cruz's father to the JFK assassination. He said it originated w/ #DylanHoward, The Enquirer's editor.
#Pecker said that after the #Republican#debates, #MichaelCohen would call him & direct him to focus the negative coverage on whichever candidate had been most successful.
Pecker's testimony isn't just damaging to #Trump. He’s killing his career by going through headline after headline & suggesting he attacked Trump's rivals to aid Trump.
#Pecker was asked about being introduced to #SteveBannon, #Trump's top strategist, in Oct 2016. He recalled Trump said, "I believe you & Steve would get along really well.”
This all happened around the time of #Wikileaks email dump, after a hack of #HillaryClinton's adviser John Podesta's acct, & the Trump team used that material A LOT.
Regardless of whether the story was true or not, the #jury was shown a #contract the #NationalEnquirer reached w/ #Dino Sajudin, the #doorman, in which the words "Donald Trump's illegitimate child" feature prominently.
#Steinglass asked Pecker why he paid so much for the story.
“I made the decision to buy the story because of the potential embarrassment it would have to the #campaign & Mr. #Trump," Pecker said.
#Gaza / Egyptian source: U.S. “has accepted” Israel's plan for a military operation in Rafah as part of a deal to avoid a wider attack on Iran
According to an Egyptian source, Egypt is preparing militarily along the Gaza border in anticipation of a potential Israeli military operation in #Rafah, Palestine. The source claims the U.S. “has accepted Israel's” plan for a military operation in Rafah as part of a deal to avoid a wider attack on #Iran. Egypt is diplomatically working to delay or cancel the Israeli operation, focusing on protecting civilians and ensuring aid can continue to flow. Egypt is also increasing the capacity of displacement camps in Khan Younis and coordinating with both sides to manage the expected influx of displaced people.
"The United States has agreed to back an Israeli operation in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah in exchange for Israel forgoing a major strike on Iran, unnamed Egyptian officials have told the Qatari Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news outlet."
The last thing that we need in a ferocious and propaganda war, is fake news.
A Republican state representative in Michigan, Rep. Matt Maddock, claimed on social media on Wednesday night that he had photo evidence of “illegal invaders” arriving at Detroit Metro Airport.
The buses were not for “illegal invaders”; they were for the men’s college basketball teams that landed at the Detroit airport to compete in the NCAA tournament known as March Madness.
“The four men’s basketball teams competing in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 at Little Caesars Arena arrived at DTW Wednesday evening.
But Barrett Henderson, Gonzaga University’s assistant athletic director for communications, confirmed to CNN on Thursday that the team flew on an Allegiant plane, landed at Detroit Metro airport on Wednesday evening in the hour before Maddock’s post, and boarded buses that were waiting at the airport.
Rob Anderson, sports information director at Creighton University, told CNN that their team landed at the airport on Wednesday afternoon, had buses waiting and received a police escort as well.
He wrote a new post saying, “We know this is happening” and that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are “pouring into our country.” He added: “Since we can’t trust the #FakeNews to investigate, citizens will.
