They Let People Die Just To Say Orange Man Bad:

FEMA confirms thousands of expired water bottles left on farmland in Puerto Rico

Tens of thousands of water bottles meant for the people of Puerto Rico after a pair of hurricanes hit the island in 2017 are sitting unopened on farmland near the city of San Juan nearly two years after the disasters.

Photographs of the water bottles emerged this week after international news agency AFP captured aerial images of the bottles on what appeared to be a private estate 25 miles west of San Juan. Some of the images showed broken pallets with the bottles.

A spokesman from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) confirmed to AFP that the water bottles had been provided as part of relief for Hurricane Maria, which hit the island in September 2017.

The water was expired and it was assumed that the bottles are being disposed of, AFP reported. It said the spokesman declined to say exactly how many water bottles there were, how long they were on the farm and why they were permitted to expire.

The matters were "under review by the legal department," the spokesman said.

Odd Ben Garrison Twat re Italy In The 1780s:

The early years

As the reformist impulse of the 1780s waned, Italians took a growing interest in the French Revolution. Educated landowners and entrepreneurs who had put their trust in the enlightened rulers of their own states and had looked forward to important administrative and political reforms were disappointed. The French example gave them new hope. During the 1780s Masonic lodges had begun to replace scholarly academies and agrarian societies as loci of political discussion. In the 1790s more-radical secret societies emerged, modeled after the Illuminati (“Enlightened Ones”) founded in Bavaria by Adam Weishaupt, a professor of canon law, which promoted free thought and democratic political theories.

Today In Bush Babies: Totally Normal

Mayor offers 'attractive' reward for first baby boy. Town has only birthed girls for 12 years

University looks into 'Why no boys?'

Mayor Frischko, the father of two girls, began exploring birth certificates to find out if the spate of girl babies was a recent anomaly.

"I think that what the older residents say is confirmed," he said. "Girls are constantly born and the birth of boys is rare. Explaining this puzzle will not be easy."

The head of the Department of Medical Genetics at the Medical University of Warsaw, heard about the village predicament and agreed to look into it. Professor Rafał Płoski told The First News it starts with a deep dive into birth certificates, followed by assuring that a child's parents are not related to each other — even distantly.

"The next step, conduct an accurate interview with parents and children, check the environmental conditions. Only then can some trail appear," Płoski said.
