Orlando Cicilia, who is married to Marco Rubio's older sister, Barbara, was part of a "Cocaine Cowboy" era drug ring in the 1980s. He was considered a "front man" and second-in-command for a ring that distributed millions of dollars worth of cocaine to the United States.

I hope he gets the 'welcome' he deserves!

As a coastguard vessel approached to identify the boat "shots were fired from the boat," injuring the commander of the Cuban vessel, the ministry added. "As a result of the clash, at the time of this report, on the foreign side, four aggressors were killed and six others were wounded," the ministry said, adding that the injured were evacuated and received medical assistance. The ministry said that it remained committed to "protecting its territorial waters."

US pirates attacked the Cuban coast guard, wounding at least 1 service member.

At least 4 pirates were killed and 6 others were injured; the Cuban coast guard captured the surviving pirates and has arrested them.

🗡️ Treason at the End of the World The body has a limit, ice has a melting point, and the state has a duty. When a civilisation knowingly crosses those lines, what do we call it?

From lethal heat to collapsing ecosystems, from bureaucratic calm to political betrayal — this is what moral clarity looks like at the end of the world.

Murder on the wires.

Today was gonna be the day
You were gonna buy a healthy loaf
But then I saw it in the aisle
And started squishing it like an oaf
I don’t believe that anybody wants to buy the one
With ancient grains
And maybe
You’re gonna be the loaf that saves me
From being dead
You’re my Wonderbread RS

It's set to be a streaming hit!

Mandelson's first career-ending scandal happened when I was doing my first year of A-levels. I'm 45.

I'd also argue that more affluent industrial nations should be paying those in countries with rainforests to be their guardians. We can't expect them to suffer poverty and maintain those ecosystems whilst we're all living it large and lecturing them on the environment.

Jared Kushner's father, who was a) convicted in a bizarre criminal scheme including an attempt to entrap and themn blackmail his own brother in law, b) by then NJ US Attorney Chris Christie, and then c) was pardoned by Donald Trump at the end of his first term.
