Save Our Shrimpers

 

AMERICAN SHRIMP PROCESSORS ASSOCIATION LAUNCHES TRADE PETITIONS ADDRESSING UNFAIR DUMPING AND ILLEGAL SUBSIDIES CONCERNING FROZEN WARMWATER SHRIMP FROM ECUADOR, INDIA, INDONESIA, AND VIETNAM

 

The American Shrimp Processors Association has filed antidumping and countervailing duty petitions on imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The goal of the petitions is to have the U.S. government impose additional tariffs on imports from these countries to counteract their dumped prices and to offset the unfair subsidies that foreign shrimp producers receive. If the effort is successful, additional tariffs should help raise the prices of imports from the four countries, which together account for over 90 percent of total imports.

'Christmas break' or 'winter break'? Inside the debate rocking a Texas school district

 

Southlake Carroll Independent School District (Carroll ISD) board president Cameron Bryan pushed for the change ahead of the district's discussion of its 2024-25 calendar Monday. He said parents and teachers have recently raised concerns to the board over district communications referencing "winter break," "winter parties" and "holiday break."

 

"Everything but Christmas break and Christmas parties," Bryan said. "It's Christmas and New Year's break, and the district should refer to it as such."

 

The board president went on to claim that Carroll ISD teachers and parents are reluctant to "openly" celebrate Christmas while at school, citing fears of retribution from administration.

Fat Leonard, Who Filmed Orgies Involving Senior Navy Admirals, Extradited To The US By Venezuela

 

Fat Leonard, who according to some "effectively controlled the U.S. Navy’s Pacific fleet", had spent millions of dollars bribing officers of the Seventh Fleet and in exchange those officers made sure the U.S. Navy’s most powerful ships sailed into ports controlled by Francis’ company. When the ships docked, Fat Leonard overcharged for basic services such as fuel, food and sewage.

 

U.S. federal agents arrested Fat Leonard and Navy officers implicated in his scam, and the Justice Department spent years digging through a treasure trove of emails, receipts and phone records. On March 14, 2017, the department handed down an indictment that charged eight more Navy officers — including Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless — with taking part in the conspiracy.

 

The 79-page indictment was an "incredible document". The word prostitutes appears 28 times and the charges include a detailed account of Fat Leonard’s bribes. The Malaysian kingpin ran “a rotating carousel of prostitutes,” threw wild sex parties and even hosted an orgy that involved memorabilia of famed U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, according to the indictment.

 

According to the indictment, “Francis hosted and paid for a lavish party and the services of prostitutes in the MacArthur Suite of the Manila Hotel, attended by [some of the Cool Kids], among others. During the party, historical memorabilia related to Gen. Douglas MacArthur were used by the participants in sexual acts.”
