Treat Yourself With 30% Off Gummies! Save 40% On All Full Spectrum CBD!

Our friends at Sunset Lake Farms are clearing out their remaining full-spectrum CBD products ahead of the federal ban coming in December. This week, save 40% on all full-spectrum CBD products, including tinctures, gummies, softgels, smokables, and more!

Why the deep deals? The Feds have redefined hemp products as containing no more than 0.4mg of THC per package. This will essentially ban all full-spectrum CBD hemp products nationwide starting December 11th.

Sunset Lake Farms isn’t going anywhere, though! ​They’ve been reformulating their products to be THC-free and compliant with the new rules. When this Full Spectrum Farewell Sale ends, Sunset Lake will be releasing a bunch of new products that are compliant with the new federal hemp rules.

Stock up on your favorite full spectrum CBD products & save 40%! No code needed. Each week, the deals will get deeper, but inventory is limited. The Full Spectrum Farewell Sale is valid while supplies last, and ends November 10th at 11:59 ᴾᴹ ET. See their site for terms and conditions.

THE BIG NEWS

'Law and Order' Paxton Partied It Up with Fugitives in Dubai

Notoriously crooked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is running what must be one of the worst Senate campaigns in recent history. The Republican nominee has already admitted that he's not calling the shots, instead doing whatever his dark money donors and Washington, DC consultants tell him to do. Even his patron Donald Trump cannot hide his contempt for the tremendously unlikable AG.

And while Democrat James Talarico has raised over $134 million, overwhelmingly from small-dollar grassroots donors, the Paxton has taken a different tack to stay competitive.

The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times report on previously unreported escapades on New Year's Eve 2024, "where Paxton partied in Dubai with two fugitives from US justice and a woman who wasn't his wife" – namely his girlfriend, Tracy Duhon, a Christian influencer. And the scandalous scene is on video. The Journal reports:

"Among those at the event with Texas' top law-enforcement official were two Americans who had been indicted months before on federal healthcare-fraud charges but failed to return to the US, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, according to the court records and people familiar with the matter. Ahmed, a healthcare executive, had donated $190,000 to Paxton, campaign-finance records show, including $25,000 days after he was indicted.

Among other lucrative schemes, Ahmed and Suhail allegedly embezzled $15 million from a hospital. "A party with multiple fugitives and Ken Paxton is still the sketchiest guy in the room," Talarico quipped on Tuesday.

Will it matter? University of Houston Political Science Professor Brandon Rottinghaus tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that although "October surprises don't have quite the same impact as they used to," persuadable independents and "Republican-leaning" voters may see the scandal as rendering Paxton unfit for office (which, of course, he is). The Texas Tribune's survey of recent polls shows Talarico with a narrow lead over Paxton, who'd be smart to flee to Dubai if and when he loses.

SOME NUMBER

$77 million

That's how much of the $333 million raised for Donald Trump's White House ballroom boondoggle that came from donors who requested anonymity, the Washington Post reports. As for the rest of the funding for the project, "the vast majority of the funds raised came from companies and wealthy individuals with interests before the federal government," including the pro-Israel Adelson Family Foundation; Apple; Google; Lockheed Martin; and Palantir. Although Trump claimed he would pour his own fortune into the project, the records show he has donated zilch.

PARTING WORDS

"After moving to China, I didn't really think much of the bar results or consider that something that I needed to focus on."

-- New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia, speaking to a friendly interviewer, white nationalist Jack Posobiec, about why she falsely and unlawfully claimed to be a lawyer even though she never passed the bar exam. Zacharia, who spent a decade working for what she calls a "pyramid scheme," worked as an "associate" at Beijing law firm Zhong Lun after following her husband to China. Two nonprofit ethics groups yesterday filed formal complaints in California about Zacharia's misrepresentation of her ability to practice law.
