The 90 Miles Mystery Box: Episode #946
You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?
It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,
from the beautiful to the repugnant,
from the mysterious to the familiar.
If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,
you could be inspired, you could be appalled.
This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.
You have been warned.

Trump targets drug cartels exploiting virus pandemic, deploys Navy and Air Force assets
President Trump deployed Navy destroyers and Air Force surveillance planes to combat drug cartels that are “taking advantage” of the media-fueled coronavirus panic to smuggle illegal opioids into the United States.
Trump announced the launch of a “counter-narcotics operation” in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea at a White House coronavirus briefing amid the ongoing opioid epidemic.
The President was joined by U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley.
“We must not let the drug cartels exploit the pandemic to threaten American lives,” Trump said. “In cooperation with the 22 partner nations, U.S. Southern Command will increase surveillance, disruption, and seizures of drug shipments and provide additional support for eradication efforts, which are going on right now at a record pace.”
To this end, President Trump deployed Navy destroyers, Air Force surveillance planes and helicopters, and 10 Coast Guard cutter ships to the region.
“We came upon some intelligence some time ago that the drug cartels — as a result of COVID-19 — were going to try to take advantage of the situation and try to infiltrate additional drugs into...
US judge orders release of 13 illegal immigrants in PA, calling ICE incapable of protecting them from coronavirus behind bars
A federal judge in Harrisburg ordered the immediate release Tuesday of 13 immigrants from detention centers across Pennsylvania, saying authorities have not taken adequate measures to protect them from the threat of a coronavirus outbreak behind bars.
The group, from countries across the globe, are all being all held in county jails that contract with ICE and face deportation proceedings or have pending asylum claims. They appear to be one of the largest groups of immigrant detainees in the nation subject to a court-ordered release since the pandemic’s start.
Each has underlying medical conditions that lawyers with the ACLU of Pennsylvania said put them more at-risk should an outbreak erupt behind bars. U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III ordered ICE to free them all on personal recognizance bonds from facilities in York, Clinton and Pike Counties before the end of the day Tuesday.
“It would be heartless and inhumane not to recognize [the] petitioner’s plight,” the judge wrote. “Should we fail to [order their release] … we will be party to an unconscionable and possibly barbaric result.”
Jones’ order comes amid increasing alarm from public health advocates, public defenders and even some prosecutors who warn that the close quarters of jails, prisons and detention centers make proper hygiene and social distancing impossible. It follows a similar decision Thursday from a judge in Manhattan who released 10 immigrants facing deportation proceedings there.
Philadelphia and New Jersey have both launched efforts to thin their jail populations of low-level, non-violent offenders and those who fall within the highest risk categories for contracting the disease.
ICE has, thus far, resisted calls for similar efforts, arguing that...
Gun Control Orgs Panic As FBI Data Shows Historic Surge in Civilian Gun Ownership
The FBI’s March NICS background data for march was released yesterday and it was every bit as horrific as the Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex feared it would be.
The adjusted background check data quantified what we’ve all seen in the photos of Americans lining up — sometimes for hours — outside of gun stores all across the country.
As the NSSF’s Mark Oliva told us,
Retailers have been telling us that the overwhelming majority of those buying firearms over the last month have been first-time gun owners. This puts to rest America’s thoughts on gun control ideas. Americans across the country chose to exercise their right to lawfully purchase a gun when their safety became more than a rhetorical question.Meanwhile, the gun control industry isn’t taking the news well.
American gun control advocates said they found the statistics on record-breaking numbers of firearms background checks concerning, and urged Americans to think twice before panic-buying a gun, particularly if they had never owned one before.
Concerns have also been raised about children sheltering at home in houses where they might have access to guns, as well as the risk of gun suicide, which amount to approximately two-thirds of US gun deaths each year.
“We need to prepare for the increased risk of more firearms in...
