Balance..

 

Indoor..

 


Chinese and Mexican nationals operate almost all illegal marijuana growing operations in the United States' largest county, the leader of a local marijuana enforcement team told Fox News.
"Mostly what we deal with are either Mexican nationals or Chinese nationals as our two largest groups of people that we deal with are non-citizens."
"An estimate of probably 97 to 98% of all of our indoor marijuana cultivations are run by Chinese nationals."  investigation showed that Chinese nationals were bringing in money from China, purchasing houses in the Chino, Ontario area and turning them into marijuana cultivations."

Maskless..

 

The top New York City Police Department official advised business owners to only allow in patrons who take off their masks, ostensibly to deter crime by people who cannot be identified by cameras.
The Feb. 28 comments by the NYPD’s Chief of Department, Jeffrey Maddrey, would represent a remarkable development in city policy towards the COVID-19 pandemic, likely marking the first-time city brass officially and explicitly suggested people stop wearing masks in some capacity. 
The recommendation comes about a year after New York began easing mask mandates in public places, and most New Yorkers began to shed their face coverings.
Maddrey made the comments during a press conference about a Feb. 22 jewelry store robbery in Flushing, Queens, where several thieves made off with more than $1 million in jewelry. 
One man in particular was wearing all-black and a face mask when he smashed a display case and piled loot into a bag; he and the others pistol-whipped and kicked the 78-year-old proprietor of the store before fleeing. They have not been caught.

Spy..A

 


“For decades the U.S. [has] been sending spy planes along the Chinese coast and sometimes over Chinese airspace to monitor the Chinese in ways that they couldn't do very much about,”

In a statement on Thursday, the Taiwanese defense ministry said 29 People’s Liberation Army aircraft and 4 People’s Liberation Army Navy vessels around Taiwan were detected by 6 a.m. on 2 March.
“The R.O.C. Armed Forces have monitored the situation and tasked CAP aircraft, Navy vessels, and land-based missile systems to respond to these activities,” the news release says.
China’s military has often used extensive military exercises to demonstrate force in response to U.S. government actions spying and other activities supporting Taiwan.
Is the Ukraine problems a repeat to this one?  Just a thought.
