Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

(The Center Square) - California Governor Gavin Newsom withdrew his competing ballot measure to reform the state’s reduced prosecution of drug dealing and theft just days after Democratic legislators rejected his supported amendments to their anti-crime bills.
                Newsom’s measure would have required the majority of legislators’ support on July 3 to make it on the November ballot, and would be in competition with another prosecution reform measure that earned nearly one million signatures.

We’ve written a lot over the years about the “Trumpification” of the Senate Republican Conference and the overall erosion of the deal-making middle in the Senate. The last few election cycles have seen the departure of several old-guard GOP senators, only to be replaced by Republicans more in the mold of former President Donald Trump.

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected.
