MOCKING WOMEN
Fox News personality Tucker Carlson has mocked the service of women in the military.
In what branch of the military did he serve? That’s right, none. He has no right to mock or criticize the contributions of thousands of women. They have shown more cour.age and love for this country than he ever has.

We can drink our heads off in Miami. But smoke cannabis to relieve stress?
Nope, not yet (unless you have a medical marijuana card).
Jay-Z wants to change that. The Grammywinning rapper even started his own cannabis company called MONOGRAM.
In the United States, the use and possession of cannabis is illegal under federal law, thanks to the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (medical usage is legal, with a doctor’s note, in 35 states including Florida).
To promote
MONOGRAM, the rapping mogul rolled out a shockingly gritty nationwide campaign; eight posters depict news stories, headlines and pictures of people who have been arrested for cannabisrelated offenses.
The artwork is plas- tered across Miami, including such locations as the Government Center downtown, the Design District and Liberty City.
One bold sign reads, “Weed is a federal crime, even in states where sex with farm animals isn’t.”
Another says: “You can marry your first cousin in more states than you can buy recreational weed.”
Pose in front of them for Instagram, or not.
More and more states are moving toward legalization of cannabis thanks to its wellness benefits (plus the millions that can be made from such a venture).
“I created this campaign to amplify the voices of those who have been penalized for the very same thing that venture capitalists are now prospering from with the emerging legal cannabis market,” said Jay-Z. “Far too often we forget that these are real people whose everyday lives and futures have been affected by this outdated legislature.”
