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.

Espionage Uncovers Possibly Illegal Jared Kushner Slush Fund 

Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is notoriously corrupt, but the true scope of his misconduct has yet to be revealed. Vanity Fair reports that the Russian government compromised Kushner's iPhone and stored screenshots on a server subsequently hacked by Dutch intelligence. The surveillance revealed that Kushner used his phone to access secret bank accounts in the United Arab Emirates and Israel with $2 billion from UAE ruler Mohamed bin Zayed and Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. This "slush fund" reportedly wasn't owned by Kushner, but rather, he was made a signatory by the special-purpose charity that controlled it.

While accessing the bank account was arguably within the scope of Kushner's government role as Trump's overseas "envoy," four senior regime officials—"two national security advisors, a White House chief of staff, and a former CIA director—were unaware of any presidential authorization for Kushner to access a foreign government bank account." Unless he disclosed the account on his US tax returns, Kushner may have violated the law. He may also have been acting as an unregistered lobbyist for a foreign government, which is also illegal.

Dumbass Pete Hegseth Breaks Irreplaceable WWII Artifact 

Psycho Pete Hegseth has not exactly covered himself in glory as Donald Trump's preening "Secretary of War." Apparently when he's not busy overseeing a failing war on Iran, purging the ranks of competent leaders, and inspiring mockery from the lower ranks, he's raiding the military's storerooms for new toys to play with. One object of his obsession was a large floor globe used by former President and Gen. Dwight Eisenhower during World War II. As the Washington Post reports, Hegseth ordered it relocated from the Pentagon's archives to his personal office.

Too impatient to wait for the (furloughed) professional curators to move the "priceless" artifact, he sent his aides to fetch it. Predictably, they dropped it, "sending the globe crashing onto its base and impaling the fragile shell near Antarctica," leaving a large gash. "Accidents happen," an anonymous Pentagon spokesperson says. To some more than others.

PARTING WORDS

"This is insane. We cannot allow AI agents to go into your bank account and act independently without your authorization. But that is what’s happening right now.

"Left unchecked, AI could endanger the entire global financial system — including your bank account.

"Pause AI NOW!"

-- Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, responding to an Axios report that says major US banks have detected unauthorized AI bots accessing user accounts and "attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions." In many cases, the account holder gave AI their user name and password. Don't do this! According to Reuters, banks are starting to block the bots because they want humans to make financial decisions, not third parties.
