Ten Second News
TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey legislators have approved three bills that reshaped how the Garden State handles drug use involving marijuana.
The state’s Senate and Assembly voted first to create a new and legal marijuana industry from scratch and called for new regulations to be written within six months.
Additionally, both houses approved a bill that decriminalizes possession of up to six ounces of cannabis. That second bill is designed to stop arrests and expunge criminal records of low-level marijuana offenses.
...
Now, the Garden State is set to become the only state in the U.S. where adults can legally use, possess, and purchase cannabis while still risking prison for growing marijuana at home—under any circumstances.

Comment →Leon Black plans to step down as chief executive of Apollo Global Management Inc. after an independent review revealed larger-than-expected payments to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that it nevertheless deemed justified.
The months long review by Dechert LLP found no evidence that Mr. Black was involved in the criminal activities of the late Epstein, who was indicted in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges involving underage girls, according to a copy of the law firm’s report that was viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
In its report, Dechert found the fees that the billionaire had paid Epstein were for legitimate advice on trust- and estate-tax planning that proved to be of significant value to Mr. Black and his family. Mr. Black paid Epstein a total of $148 million, plus a $10 million donation to his charity—far more than was previously known.

When I was a kid, I heard a handful of references to "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" but I had always assumed that the song was a parody. Like, it was a much more bitter "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag" from Country Joe and the Fish.
I've recently had an opportunity to listen to the song a couple of times and was inspired to do research into it and, as it turns out, it was written in 1942 as a response to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
I've listened to three or four versions of the song but have concluded that this version is my favorite. I hope you like it too.
