Yes, but the pro-life side intentionally conflates pro-choice with pro-abortion even though pretty much no one falls into the latter category.

It's more disingenuous bullshit from that camp. Scratch a "pro-lifer" and you'll see someone who believes women should know their place in a home, gussied up nice with other language like being concerned for the morality of society and the righteous value of the nuclear family and so on.

the actual checkpoint would be before the bridge I'm assuming and the trailers are there as another barricade. or that picture is from something else completely and they just used it here

Just uncritically repeating the claim that Iran and Hezbollah are operating in Venezuela in a way that makes them a credible threat.

Company buys Industrial Hemp from OR and has it shipped to CO for processing. The most direct route for shipping goods goes through Idaho. In ID truck gets stopped and searched and the driver arrested for transporting illegal marijuana. ID law basically says any cannabis plant with ANY amount of THC is illegal, vs federal law which states .04% of THC is legal.

So you have the CO-based company suing ID stating that the state is in violation of federal law and the interstate commerce clause, ID saying that it's OR's fault for not having a system in place to track exports. And finally the driver with felony criminal charges against him out on $100K bond (likely $10K paid to a bail bondsman) facing 5 years in prion and $15K fine in complete limbo while all of this is going on.

Hezbollah is very much in Venezuela.

They’re also all over Africa.

They’re probably also in the US.

There’s a HUGE Lebanese diaspora throughout the world, and anywhere you have a sizable Lebanese expat population, you probably have some Hezbollah financiers or facilitators in the mix. That certainly doesn’t make them a national security threat to the US, or even to the countries in which they have a presence.

Unless Hezbollah is starting to put suicide vests on migrants like in the hit documentary Siccario 2, then it’s a complete bullshit thing for Pompeo to claim.

It should also be noted that Hezbollah is not just a terrorist organization. It's also a "real" political party. Just like Sinn Fein and the NRA(s) IRA(s) were. Which makes support from some parts the Lebanese diaspora just a lot more likely.

It shouldn't be forgotten that the forces fighting against the Brits in Northern Ireland got a significant part of their funding from Irish-Americans who donated to them.

Federal law for hemp is 0.3% thc, 0.04% was what the hemp seized tested at before shipment. Well below the threshold.
