[FoxNews] Officials in Philadelphia have dismantled a massive drug ring operating out of a sham coffee shop, run largely by longtime, senior figures in the criminal world, Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced Sunday.
The sweeping takedown, dubbed Operation Cocaine and Coffee, was launched and primarily targeted a storefront known as Cumberland Coffee and Snacks, where authorities say the second floor was used to cook and package crack cocaine for street-level distribution.
At least 17 suspected members of the operation were arrested, many described by officials as well past middle age and deeply entrenched in the drug trade.
Authorities said the group, allegedly run by 56-year-old Lewis Alexander, plagued the community with "absolute harm" for more than a decade and is believed to have ties to violent crime.

Reminds me of the time some DOE shitstain decided to cause a national news incident by declaring improper storage at Y-12 of nuclear materials because they were 29" apart instead of 28. The regs said minimum separation 28". I think the dweeb should have been forced to lick a Cobalt 60 source.

DM finds it easier to find issue with moon travelers than whey their country can no longer build a boat fit for the English Channel.
Did you know:
This is the first lunar mission to feature five, that's 5, different flavors of hot sauce, and one menu item is couscous with butternut squash rolled in genuine Made in Canada tortillas?

Hey NASA....just trying to help here, but I think your audience, your future backers, are Project: Hail Mary > Star Trek: Learing Academy. Please treat them as better than that.

I remember when MREs first came out, McIlhenny offered a 'cookbook', with various combos of MRE contents, along with a camo tabasco carrier that fit a equipment belt.

DM is no better than the National Enquirer when I was a kid standing in the line at the grocery store. I would be surprised if those idiots could wipe their own ass.

[Regnum] A leopard attacked sugarcane plantation workers in India for two days, injuring three young men. This was reported by the Lokmat Times newspaper.
The incidents occurred in the state of Maharashtra, each time attacking workers watering sugarcane. The leopard first attacked a plantation on March 28 and seriously injured a man. The following day, the predator attacked one worker in the morning, and another in the afternoon.
All three victims survived by fighting back and were taken to the hospital. The state forest department has begun efforts to capture the leopard, setting traps and surveying the area using drones.
Predator attacks on people are not uncommon in India. On March 24, in the Indian village of Meenaukhni, a leopard entered a house's yard, grabbed a newborn baby girl sleeping in her crib, and attempted to escape. Her mother noticed the animal and screamed. The child's father and neighbors rushed to the scene, but the predator, frightened by the crowd, dropped the baby. She suffered serious injuries and did not survive, despite the efforts of doctors.
In mid-March, in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, a leopard entered a utility room in the yard of a house and killed a guard dog. It then attacked the pet's 67-year-old owner when he approached. The man suffered injuries to his arm and head, but he managed to open the door, and the leopard escaped.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Oracle, the software and cloud computing powerhouse founded by billionaire Larry Ellison, started cutting staff on Tuesday in what insiders described as a 'significant reduction in force.'
Workers said they were informed via early morning emails before quickly losing access to company systems.
'Today is your last working day,' read one termination notice seen by Business Insider, which told staff their roles had been eliminated as part of a 'broader organizational change.'
The $420billion company has declined to comment on the scale of the layoffs, though one employee told the BBC the cuts could reach around 10,000 roles.
This initial wave of job losses at Oracle's Austin, Texas–headquartered operations is expected to be the first of several rounds, potentially affecting a significant portion of its 160,000-strong workforce.
The increase in concern is across the board, with the biggest jumps happening among women, voters without a college degree, Democrats and liberal voters.
Beer brewers and winemakers in the US are struggling with an existential crisis: A substantial decline in consumption. It hit beer first, because people switched to wines. And then it hit both after the pandemic, when alcohol consumption declined all around.
The GLP-1 weight loss drugs are rumored to affect alcoholics so strongly that some completely stop drinking. This might be good for alcoholics if bad for the alcohol industry. Many articles on the internal can be found discussing this issue.

Not just alcoholics, Glurong Choth2372. Mr. Wife, who drinks moderately in social situations, finds himself uninterested even in the first beer or scotch or brandy. Nor is a matter of saving money, because he drinks for free at the bar when he is on the clock as photographer.
[WND] A Democrat congresswoman is coming under fire after posting — and then deleting — a profanity-packed rant against President Donald Trump as he attended U.S. Supreme Court arguments Wednesday on birthright citizenship.
It was U.S. Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., who shared an Associated Press story about Trump's presence at the high court, along with her own comment stating: ""So f***ing f***ed up. I'll pray they f*** him to his face. Sorry, I say f*** a lot these days."
"WTH? Mentally deranged psycho!" exclaimed Eric Daugherty of RightLine News. She's clearly reached 'Stage-IV' of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Interesting. There will be a lawsuit. USPS seems to work for the voter fraud side. I’ld like to see some firings within their hierarchy if this isn’t done correctly. Kind of a consolation prize.

[ZeroHedge] Colonial Pipeline's Line 1, the largest U.S. gasoline pipeline running from Houston toward the East Coast, has halted operations after a third-party work crew damaged a section of the line in Georgia.
Bloomberg reported that the line stopped shipping fuel after the damage occurred on Tuesday in Paulding County, Georgia.
"Line 1 is out of service while our team coordinates response and repair efforts," Colonial said in a statement cited by the outlet.
The outage hits a critical fuel artery that carries about 1.5 million barrels per day of gasoline from Houston to North Carolina, supplying an East Coast market that remains heavily dependent on pipeline deliveries due to limited local refining capacity.
While the rest of Colonial's pipeline system remains operational, any prolonged shutdown risks further tightening fuel supplies at a time when the war in Iran has pushed the U.S. national average price for regular gasoline to the politically sensitive level of $4 per gallon.
Let's remind readers that the 380,000-barrel-per-day Port Arthur, Texas, Valero refinery experienced an explosion last week at its 47,000-bpd unit 243 diesel hydrotreater. The good news is that the refinery has since restarted operations.
First a refinery, now a pipeline. One has to wonder whether these "industrial accidents" are early signs of sabotage, particularly at a time when energy infrastructure is being destroyed across Russia, Ukraine, and the Middle East.
