Ileana Garcia. “It protects Floridians from geoengineering and weather modification activities,” DeSantis said during the press conference, recognizing that this has been a concern for people across his state. “Now people have been coming up to me.

During almost a decade of successfully investigating and prosecuting illegal alien criminals, I found a troubling thread linking each case: A uniform lack of respect for American immigration laws among illegal aliens. They illegally enter our country at will and repeatedly. I prosecuted criminals who had been deported more than ten—yes, ten—times. When I spoke to these individuals, they were often candid in stating how deportation alone was no deterrent. Often, criminals return to the United States within a month of deportation to resume criminal activities. The only aspect of American law that strikes fear in the illegal alien is…

Chief Justice Roberts Chief Justice Roberts on Wednesday evening rebuked President Trump AGAIN in a rare public appearance. This is the second time Roberts has publicly lashed out at President Trump in recent months. In March Justice Roberts defended the rogue judiciary and slammed Trump’s call for impeaching judges. Speaking at a fireside chat to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the US District Court for the Western District of New York, Justice Roberts lashed out at Trump for his calls to impeach radical judges. “Well, I’ve already spoken to that and, you know, impeachment is not how you register disagreement…

You may think that sunglasses are simply an accessory. But, if they offer 100% UV-protection, they also protect the eyes from damaging ultraviolet rays. Exposure to UV can increase the risk of cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and cancer—even on a cloudy day. Ultraviolet rays can also damage the thin skin around the eyes, which can lead to wrinkles. In fact, research suggests that wearing sunglasses “as frequently as possible from a young age” is the key to minimizing the damage to the eye and surrounding skin. I am living proof. I used to be ridiculed for wearing oversized frames all…
