China is taking over the EU ! Juncker orders emergency measures to crack down on Beijing THE European Union ( EU ) is fearful China is threatening the bloc ’ s interests by quietly taking over businesses it is cracking down on foreign takeovers . A more than two-thirds surge in Chinese investment last year into Europe ’ s high-tech manufacturing , infrastructure and energy sectors has prompted European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker to set up a group “ to elaborate first possible actions ” . In September he will announce a tranche of measures to tackle perceived gaps in the EU ’ s protections compared to other major economies such as the US , people briefed on the talks said . The EU is concerned about China buying-up European knowledge yet placing heavy restrictions on how Europeans invest in the Asian nation . Last year ’ s surge led to Chinese foreign direct investment ( FDI ) into the EU reaching £32billion , a report by the Mercator Institute for China Studies and the Rhodium Group revealed . Jean-Claude Juncker may have kissed Chinese President Xi Jinping last September but he 's worried nowJean-Claude Juncker may have kissed Chinese President Xi Jinping last September but he 's worried now There is a sense that we need to reinforce our arsenal , to negotiate [ with Beijing ] with equal strength Just 13 out of the EU ’ s 28 members have formal systems for monitoring takeovers to asses whether they could be a national security threat , or go against public policy goals . André Sapir , senior fellow at the Bruegel think-tank , told the Financial Times : “ There is a sense that we need to reinforce our arsenal , to negotiate [ with Beijing ] with equal strength. ” Proposals could mean EU nations will be forced to co-ordinate their national screening systems so there are no criteria discrepancies about granting foreign acquisitions . The Commission is thinking of going even further by introducing EU-level investment screening for takeovers of companies receiving EU funding - something many member states will be wary of due to the creeping hold of the EU . Mr Juncker is believed to be using the UK exiting the EU as an excuse to become more protectionist as its free-trade champion will be gone . Xi Jinping and Angela Merkel talked intently at the G20 summit in JulyXi Jinping and Angela Merkel talked intently at the G20 summit in July A soldier stands outside the EU embassy in BeijingA soldier stands outside the EU embassy in Beijing However , Hosuk Lee-Makiyama , a former EU trade official who now heads the European Centre for International Political Economy , said even free-trade champions agreed with states such as France “ there are genuine security concerns regarding Chinese investment ” . A Commission spokesman said Brussels is aware of concerns and added Mr Juncker had set up a group of commissioners “ to elaborate first possible actions ” .

Cincinnati Man Sentenced for Promoting Child Pornography CINCINNATI –James Denney , 30 , of Cincinnati , was sentenced in U.S. District Court to 36 months in prison for aiding and abetting another individual in accessing child pornography . Benjamin C. Glassman , United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio , and Steve Francis , Special Agent in Charge , Homeland Security Investigations ( HSI ) , announced the sentence handed down today by U.S. District Judge Susan J. Dlott . Denney was charged by indictment in January for knowingly promoting a URL on the Dark Web containing child pornography . According to investigators , Denney provided an undercover agent with web links to an online board featuring dozens of links to child pornography chat rooms , video/image board sites , as well as “ community ” support groups and online security advice for child pornographers . Denney pleaded guilty in May . According to the Statement of Facts filed in support of his plea agreement , Denney used the Kik Messenger app to provide the undercover officer guidance on how to download and use a TOR web browser for the purpose of concealing online activities from law enforcement and others . While communicating with the officer , Denney personally recommended sections of the online board including “ Hurt Core ” and “ Toddler Videos. ” Such images were of – among other things – toddlers and pre-teens being bound and raped by adults who represented themselves as parents of those children . Denney was also sentenced today to eight years of supervised release , and he must also register as a sex offender and comply with state and federal laws regarding sex offenders . U.S. Attorney Glassman commended the investigation of this case by HSI , and Assistant United States Attorney Karl P. Kadon , who is prosecuting the case . # # #

Florida Couple Plead Guilty To Federal Drug Charges Husband also pleads guilty in money laundering conspiracy Charleston , W.Va. – United States Attorney Booth Goodwin announced that Lester Taylor , 45 , and Ali Weinberg , 32 , both of Daytona Beach , Florida , entered guilty pleas today in federal court in Charleston to conspiracy to distribute oxycodone . Taylor also pleaded guilty to his role in a money laundering conspiracy . Beginning in January 2010 and continuing until May 2014 , Taylor acquired oxycodone pills in Florida and had them transported to Lincoln County , West Virginia , for distribution . Taylor shipped the pills via a common carrier , made personal trips from Florida to West Virginia , and used associates to carry the drugs from Florida to West Virginia . Taylor supplied pills to his associates for distribution , and once the pills were sold , the associates deposited the drug proceeds in Taylor ’ s bank accounts in Barboursville and Huntington . From January 2010 through May 2014 , more than $ 700,000 in drug proceeds were deposited into Taylor ’ s bank accounts . Taylor retrieved the cash from Florida through ATM withdrawals , counter withdrawals or cashed checks made payable to him or his associates . Ali Weinberg , Taylor ’ s fiancée , admitted that from approximately February 2013 through May 2014 , she and Taylor obtained monthly prescriptions for oxycodone and hydromophone from doctors in Florida . They took the Florida prescriptions to A+ Pharmacy in Barboursville to be filled . The pills from these prescriptions were later distributed in Lincoln County . Weinberg admitted that from February 2013 through May 2014 , she and Taylor obtained approximately 4,772 oxycodone 30 mg pills , approximately 630 hydromorphone 4 mg pills , and approximately 1,080 hydromorphone 8 mg pills through this scheme . Taylor and Weinberg are scheduled to be sentenced on January 27 , 2015 , by United States District Court Judge John T. Copenhaver Jr . The Drug Enforcement Administration , the Internal Revenue Service , and the West Virginia State Police conducted the investigation . Assistant United States Attorney Monica D. Coleman is in charge of the prosecution . This case was brought as part of an ongoing effort led by the United States Attorney ’ s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia to combat the illicit sale and misuse of heroin and prescription drugs . The U.S. Attorney ’ s Office , joined by federal , state and local law enforcement agencies , is committed to aggressively pursuing and shutting down illegal pill trafficking , eliminating open air drug markets , and curtailing the spread of opiates and heroin in communities across the Southern District .

Advertisement FOLLOW ON FIFA President Gianni Infantino delivers his speech during the 69th FIFA congress in Paris , Wednesday , June 5 , 2019 . ( AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino ) Racists must be `` kicked out '' of stadiums , FIFA president Gianni Infantino said Thursday as he pressed for a worldwide ban on spectators who abuse black footballers . Speaking days after England 's Euro 2020 qualifier in Bulgaria was twice stopped because of chants targeting English players , Infantino insisted the world body would punish racism . `` If there are racists that abuse footballers , we have to stop the game , '' he told a press conference on a visit to Dhaka . `` We can not let the racists win . The football has to continue and we have to punish the people , '' Infantino said . He added it was now easy to identify the culprits in modern stadiums with closed circuit TV and that a `` strong message '' must be sent . `` They have to be taken , kicked out of the stadium , they must not be allowed to enter into football stadiums any more , and criminal proceedings should be brought against them . `` It 's a crime and it should be a crime in all countries of the world to commit a racist abuse , '' he said . Infantino reaffirmed that if a country bans a spectator because of racism , `` FIFA will extend it worldwide because racists have no place in football in any country and no place in any football stadium or arena in any part of the world . '' Six Bulgarians have been detained for abuse at Monday 's Bulgaria-England game when monkey chants and apparent Nazi salutes overshadowed England 's 6-0 win . Three more are being sought . One 18-year-old was indicted on Wednesday for using Nazi salutes and four others have been fined and banned from sports events for two years . Infantino had already condemned the incident in a statement on Tuesday , calling racism an `` obnoxious disease that seems to be getting even worse in some parts of the world '' . He said Thursday that on top of stadium action better education was needed . `` We have to educate our youth , our children and those who are a bit older as well , '' he said . Infantino also said that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar `` will be the very best World Cup ever '' despite new controversy over the heat and empty stadiums after the world athletics championships in September saw some long distance races badly affected . The FIFA boss insisted that it would be cooler as the football tournament would be in November and December . `` I am sure in Qatar we will witness from a technical point of view , the very best World Cup ever .

WASHINGTON — If it ’ s Monday ... President Joe Biden heads later this week to a NATO conference in Brussels . ... Ukraine rejects Russia 's demand to surrender Mariupol . ... Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is hospitalized . ... China Eastern 737 crashes in southern China . ... Ohio Senate forum gets combative… And RIP , Don Young . But first : You have to go back to the 1990s with Stephen Breyer to find a Supreme Court confirmation on the political backburner as much as Ketanji Brown Jackson ’ s has been since Biden nominated her to the court a month ago . Part of the reason is the war in Ukraine , which has dominated the news over the last month . The other part is that this Supreme Court seat doesn ’ t change the court ’ s balance of power — with Jackson replacing Breyer on what ’ s already a 6-to-3 conservative majority court . Still , this confirmation fight finally heats up this week , with four days of Senate Judiciary Committee hearings that start Monday morning . “ The day is set to feature opening remarks by the chair and members of the committee , followed by remarks from Jackson , ” who is seeking to become the Supreme Court ’ s first Black female justice , NBC ’ s Sahil Kapur reports . Introducing Jackson , NBC 's Ali Vitali adds , will be conservative former D.C . Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Thomas Griffith and University of Pennsylvania law professor Lisa Fairfax . The hearings come as some Republican senators have ramped up their attacks on Jackson , portraying her as being soft on crime . “ Last week , [ Sen. Josh ] Hawley issued a series of tweets arguing that Jackson isn ’ t tough enough on sex offenders who prey on children . White House spokesman Andrew Bates , pointing to fact checks that debunk the claims as misleading or distortions of her record , assailed Hawley ’ s ‘ desperate conspiracy theory ’ and said it was based on “ toxic and weakly-presented misinformation , ” Kapur writes . Sign up for First Read ; Get First Read from Meet the Press for fresh reporting and analysis on the top political stories . Data Download : The number of the day is … 55 percent That ’ s the portion of Americans who say Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson should be confirmed to the Supreme Court , according to a new Monmouth University poll , with 21 percent saying she couldn ’ t be confirmed and 24 percent with no opinion . Forty seven percent say she ’ s at least very or somewhat qualified , 9 percent say she is not qualified and 43 percent don ’ t know enough to share their opinion . A slim majority , 53 percent , approve of Biden ’ s pledge to name a Black woman to the court with his first pick ( with 41 percent disapproving ) . And 69 percent say that having a court that ’ s more reflective of the nation ’ s diversity is important . Other numbers you need to know today : 0 : The number of Republican members of Congress who served longer than the late Rep. Don Young , R-Alaska , whose tenure spanned 49 years . At least 30 : How many state legislative leaders ( House speakers , Senate presidents and majority leaders ) have retired or will retire at the end of their terms , per The Hill and the National Conference of State Legislatures . $ 4 million : How much spending has been tracked by AdImpact on ads this cycle that use the phrase “ RINO ” ( Republican in Name Only ) . 28 : The number of people shot ( with one killed ) at an Arkansas car show this past weekend . 94 percent : How effective a third dose of Covid vaccination ( Moderna or Pfizer ) was at preventing death and the need for a patient to be ventilated in January , per a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study reported on by The Washington Post . 10 million : The number of people who have fled their homes as Russia attacks Ukraine , according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees . 238 : The number of bills filed in state legislatures that would limit the rights of LGBTQ people . Tweet of the day Midterm roundup : Almost a Buckeye brawl “ Everyone ’ s coming out swinging tonight , ” the moderator of a FreedomWorks forum featuring Ohio ’ s GOP Senate candidates said with a laugh Friday night after former state Treasurer Josh Mandel called out investment banker Mike Gibbons . The moderator probably didn ’ t think punches would actually be thrown , but 10 minutes later , Mandel and Gibbons seemingly almost came to blows as Mandel knocked Gibbons ’ stock holdings and business dealings in China . “ You ’ ve never been in the private sector , ” Gibbons said , prompting Mandel to stand up and go nose-to-nose with Gibbons . “ You don ’ t know squat , ” Gibbons added , and Mandel responded , “ Two tours in Iraq , don ’ t tell me I haven ’ t worked ! ” The crowd booed as the pair had to be separated . The episode highlights how nasty some GOP primaries have become , overshadowing discussions about more substantive policy differences . Case in point ? The altercation came after a question about the U.S. response to the war in Ukraine . Elsewhere on the trail : Oklahoma Senate : Former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt phoned former President Donald Trump to ask for his endorsement as he considers a run for the state ’ s open Senate seat , NBC ’ s Julie Tsirkin reports . Pennsylvania Senate : Former first lady Melania Trump has told her husband she supports celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz in the state ’ s crowded GOP Senate primary race . Pennsylvania governor : State Attorney General Josh Shapiro is embracing his support for abortion rights in his gubernatorial bid with the future of Roe v. Wade hanging in the balance . South Carolina 01 : NBC News heads down to Summerville to take a look at the Trump-backed attempt to oust GOP Rep. Nancy Mace . Ad watch : Drug price focus Wisconsin state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski is focusing on drug prices in her new TV ad , criticizing both GOP Sen. Ron Johnson and her fellow Democrats . “ For decades , Washington politicians have promised to lower the cost of prescription drugs . But every year , the prices go up . Why ? Because Republicans like Ron Johnson — and let ’ s be honest , too many Democrats — don ’ t have the guts to stand up to the pharmaceutical companies , ” Godlewski says in the 30-second spot , shared first with NBC News . The ad is part of a “ seven-figure ” ad buy across TV and digital platforms in the state ’ s major media markets , per Godlewski ’ s campaign . ICYMI : What else is happening in the world Maryland and Georgia have temporarily suspended their gas taxes to give residents a break at the pump . A small , but vocal , minority of Republicans continues to argue for “ America First ” isolationism over supporting Ukraine . Many Democrats want to shake up the presidential nominating calendar . But that could prove more difficult than it sounds . Political campaigns are taking to TikTok as they look to win over younger voters .

Many of the defendants included in today ’ s national announcement are medical professionals , including doctors and nurses . In the two local cases , however , the defendants are not medical professionals but are charged with conduct related to the possession and distribution of controlled substances . USA v.

Lopez , Johjima deliver as Seattle wins Sun. , April 12 , 2009 Mariners rally in 8th , beat A ’ s for third straight win OAKLAND , Calif. – It didn ’ t take long for Jose Lopez to find himself in a pressure situation . An inning after entering for injured teammate Wladimir Balentien , Lopez hit a two-run double off Oakland Athletics closer Brad Zeigler in a four-run eighth inning to help the Seattle Mariners rally from two deficits for an 8-5 victory Saturday . “ I just wanted to get one run in somehow , ” Lopez said . “ I had a great swing and got the ball around on an inside strike. ” Kenji Johjima also had a two-run hit in the inning . “ We ’ ve seen him enough last year to know about him , ” Lopez said of Zeigler . “ When you ’ re on the bench , you have to be ready for anything. ” Balentien left the game with a sprained left wrist . He was injured diving for a ball in the bottom of the first but stayed in the game until after hitting in the sixth . “ It was painful when I swung the bat , ” he said . “ I told the trainer because I didn ’ t want to get worse. ” Russell Branyan homered and Franklin Gutierrez drove in two runs for the Mariners , who won their third straight . Mike Sweeney added an RBI single in the ninth . Seattle ’ s eighth-inning rally began when Bobby Crosby , making his debut at third base , mishandled Sweeney ’ s grounder leading off . Adrian Beltre singled and Casilla walked Branyan to load the bases . Ziegler took over and gave up Lopez ’ s two-run double and Johjima ’ s two-run single . Miguel Batista ( 1-0 ) pitched two innings in relief of Felix Hernandez . Brandon Morrow recorded three outs for his second save , striking out Nomar Garciaparra to end the game . Jack Cust hit a two-run homer and Landon Powell got his first major league hit , a two-run double for the A ’ s , who lost their second straight . Santiago Casilla ( 0-1 ) allowed three runs – two earned – in one-plus innings . Hernandez had his worst start against the A ’ s and allowed more than one run for the first time in one of his first two starts of a season . He gave up seven hits and five runs in five innings , walking two and striking out eight . Hernandez has beaten the A ’ s in six of his previous eight starts . “ I think his ankle was bothering him a little bit , ” Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu said . “ You could see him favor it a little bit on a couple pitches . I don ’ t think it was a huge issue but it was enough to throw his mechanics off. ” A ’ s starter Josh Outman lasted 4 1/3 innings , yielding three runs on six hits . Branyan hit a towering shot into the right-field bleachers with one out in the fourth for his second home run and the Mariners added two more runs in the fifth on Gutierrez ’ s two-run single to tie it 3-all . Endy Chavez singled in the ninth and became the first Mariners player to hit safely in the first six games since Ichiro Suzuki opened the 2005 season with a seven-game streak .

Former New York Resident Pleads Guilty to Filing Fraudulent Tax Returns Caused IRS Losses of More than $ 1.2 Million A former resident of Poughkeepsie , New York , pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York to filing fraudulent tax returns for others and for himself , announced Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart M. Goldberg of the Justice Department ’ s Tax Division and Acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim for the Southern District of New York . “ Just about a week ago , many Americans did their civic duty and sent off their returns to the IRS , enclosing checks for taxes duly owed , ” said Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Goldberg . “ They have the right to expect that those like Damyon Shuler who threaten the integrity of the tax system by preparing fraudulent returns and submitting false refund claims will be fully prosecuted. ” “ Damyon Shuler stole from the U.S. Treasury by preparing and filing false tax returns , ” said Acting U.S. Attorney Kim . “ We thank our partners at the Justice Department ’ s Tax Division and IRS Criminal Investigations for their work in bringing Shuler ’ s crimes to light. ” “ People who create and promote fraudulent tax schemes against the United States , will be held accountable , ” said Special Agent in Charge James D. Robnett of the IRS-CI New York Field Office . Today ’ s guilty plea by Mr. Shuler again emphasizes that IRS-Criminal Investigation will continue their aggressive pursuit of those who would attempt to defraud America ’ s tax system. ” According to the Indictment and other documents filed in the case , as well as statements made during the plea proceedings : Damyon Shuler , 47 , pleaded guilty to filing his own fraudulent tax return and filing a fraudulent return on behalf of another taxpayer . Between February 2010 and March 2011 , Shuler approached relatives and others and told them that he could claim slave reparations on their behalf by filing tax returns with the IRS , for which he charged a $ 4,000 to $ 5,000 fee . Shuler then filed 30 returns with the IRS on behalf of other taxpayers , claiming bogus refunds of between $ 48,184 and $ 61,300 on each return . To generate the fraudulent refunds , Shuler reported fake capital gains income and taxes paid on that income in the exact same amount . He also attached to each return a form falsely reporting that a Treasury Department office or program identified as “ Overpayment of Black Invest Taxes ” had paid the taxes to the IRS . To conceal that he prepared these returns , Shuler did not list himself as the preparer . Shuler also filed a fraudulent 2009 income tax return for himself claiming a refund of $ 46,685 based on the same scheme . In total , Shuler ’ s fraudulent refund scheme led to losses of more than $ 1.2 million . Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 14 . Shuler faces a statutory maximum sentence of three years in prison for each count of filing a fraudulent return , a period of supervised release , restitution and monetary penalties . Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Goldberg and Acting U.S. Attorney Kim praised the outstanding work of special agents of IRS–CI , who conducted the investigation , and Assistant Chief Andrew J. Kameros of the Tax Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Olga I. Zverovich , who are prosecuting the case . Additional information about the Tax Division and its enforcement efforts may be found on the division ’ s website .

GENEVA -- The World Health Organization ( WHO ) agreed on Wednesday to launch negotiations on an international pact to prevent and control future pandemics at a time when the world is gearing up to battle the new Omicron variant of coronavirus . Such an agreement to beef up measures against pandemics is expected to be ready in May 2024 , covering issues from data sharing and genome sequencing of emerging viruses to equitable distribution of vaccines and drugs derived from research . `` The adoption of this decision is cause for celebration and a cause for hope that we all need , '' WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the meeting of health ministers . `` Of course there is still a long road ahead . There are still differences of opinion about what a new accord could or should contain , '' he said , calling for continued cooperation . In the meantime , countries should abide by the WHO 's 2005 International Health Regulations , he said . The decision , entitled `` The World Together , '' was adopted by consensus at a special assembly of the 194 nations that are members of the UN health body , drawing applause at the end of a three-day meeting . `` The text before us is the product of extensive discussions , of frank exchanges and of compromises , '' said Australia 's ambassador Sally Mansfield , who co-chaired the working group . The European Union ( EU ) had pushed for agreement on an international legally binding treaty , along with about 70 countries , but Brazil , India and the United States were among those reluctant to commit to a treaty , diplomats said . `` We call for an ambitious process in developing this treaty - let us all demonstrate our multilateral commitment and engagement towards a binding instrument , '' Ambassador Lotte Knudsen , head of the EU delegation to the United Nations in Geneva , said in a statement on Wednesday . The United States welcomed the decision saying in a statement : `` This momentous step represents our collective responsibility to work together to advance health security and to make the global health system stronger and more responsive . '' More than 262.22 million people have been reported infected with SARS-CoV-2 , the virus responsible for COVID-19 , and 5.46 million killed since it emerged in China in December 2019 . The WHO says China has still not shared some of its early data that might help pinpoint the origin of the virus . China said on Monday that it was ready to work on developing a new international agreement which it hoped would avoid `` politicization , stigmatization and instrumentalisation .

Another Fourth of July is upon us . Once again we are preparing to celebrate our Independence Day with parades , ball games , cookouts and community gatherings . Loudspeakers will resound with “ My Country Tis of Thee ” and “ America the Beautiful. ” Our hearts will swell at the familiar words , “ From every mountainside , let freedom ring ” and “ Brotherhood from sea to shining sea. ’ Come night , loud explosions will fill the air . Will they accompany the bursting sprays of multicolored stars and spiraling rockets as the skies light up with spectacular displays ? Or , while we ooh and aah at the glorious show , will other fireworks be taking place in our country , sowing death and destruction ? America ’ s 100 senators are on summer recess , thrilled with the compromise they have reached with their House colleagues . The just passed bipartisan Safer Communities Act will supposedly save countless lives with strengthened background checks of gun buyers , increased penalties for gun traffickers , protection of domestic violence victims and improved mental health services . All good ideas , but will they be effective as long as semiautomatic guns remain legally available ? The National Rifle Association lost no time registering its opposition to the act by trotting out its tired canard of the Second Amendment . That amendment is surprisingly short and reads : “ A well-regulated Militia , being necessary to the security of a free State , the right of the people to keep and bear Arms , shall not be infringed. ” That ’ s all it says , and one can ’ t help but wonder what kind of arms our Founding Fathers were referring to in 1791 . Revolutionary guns of that era included mostly muskets and flintlock pistols . A typical musket had a one-round magazine capacity and could fire about three effective rounds per minute in the hands of the most skilled wielder . The Uvalde gunman used an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle with a magazine that carries 30 rounds . Among all the capable legal minds in our government , has anyone seriously argued the legal applicability of the Second Amendment when it comes to today ’ s weapons ? The semi-automatic and other assault guns did not exist in 1791 . The authors of the amendment obviously referred to muskets and pistols . They could have , but did not specify “ any arms that may be invented in the future. ” It is useful to compare the Second Amendment history and meaning with that of the First Amendment — the right of free speech . Its meaning has been the subject of continuing interpretation and dispute over the years . Landmark Supreme Court cases have dealt with the right of citizens to protest U.S. involvement in foreign wars , flag burning and the publication of classified government documents . In Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire ( 1942 ) the U.S. Supreme Court established the fighting words doctrine that spells out certain limits to the freedom of speech as protected by the First Amendment . Our current Supreme Court has just ruled against the legitimacy of Roe v. Wade . A landmark constitutional right to abortion , established almost 50 years ago , is declared no longer valid . Those in favor of this far-reaching decision claim to be led by a pro-life philosophy . Is it not more than high time to also consider the right to life of America ’ s children who are already born and who are afraid to go to school ? Today , in America , can we really joyfully celebrate our “ independence ” and call ourselves “ free , ” until we have rid ourselves of these military-style weapons that have nothing to do with prudent self-defense or fair hunting practices but are used on an almost daily basis to murder innocent people ? Elisabeth Breslav is a regular essay writer for the Oronoque , Stratford , Villager magazine . Her memoir “ Blackouts , Bombs and Sugar Beets ” is currently being agented in the U.S , Canada and Europe .
