Israel loosens laws on marijuana use.
Under the new system, first-time personal users who are caught and confess will be fined 1,000 shekels (£220; $270), with this doubling on the second occasion.
Probation will apply the third time and only a fourth case would lead to criminal charges.

Do ethics commissioners have the right and responsibility to police and judge provincial politicians within the house? Better hope not, because that is a bad precedent.
It is unusual to the point of freakiness that an ethics commissioner found existence of a punishable offence at all. They are mostly so tentative and wishy-washy that parents could usefully uphold them as examples of adult weakness when they’re trying to feed their kids broccoli. But for an Ethics Commissioner to police parliamentary speech may be altogether unprecedented in the Commonwealth. It is — or at first glance looks like — a tread upon one of the most sacred taboos in our system of government.

That bomb threat? Yeah, it’s what everyone thought. Another in a long string of false-flags. Course, being obvious bait, the media was trumpeting “Council of Conservative Citizens of Canada” all over the place. That’s the narrative the media would like to believe about conservatives. Fake but true.

The Tolerant Left
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio is in need of a new Tampa office thanks to the work of left-wing protesters, who regularly staged loud demonstrations to the point that it was causing problems for other tenants in the building, according to The Tampa Bay Times.
The owner of the office building reportedly notified Rubio on Feb. 1 that they would not be renewing his lease, due to the protests, which were becoming a “a security concern.”
According to the Times, other tenants in the building were beginning to fear for their safety due to the protests, which were organized by Indivisible and other left-wing activist groups.
