Both men wore “authentic appearing” circular badges that read “Cherokee Nation Marshal,”

DEERFIELD BEACH — Hotel staff at the Wyndham Deerfield Beach Resort asked two maskless men to cover their faces. When they refused, it was the lie they told that got them arrested, according to a federal complaint.
Instead of calling COVID-19 a hoax or going off about the First Amendment, they told hotel staff they were U.S. marshals and flashed phony passes — similar to ones that have been used by others around the U.S. who claim to be exempt from any mask-wearing requirement.

I always thought that clean green marines didn't do meth. Have I been misinformed?
Only if it didn't from official sources “Pep pills” .

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army Used Drugs to Build Super Soldiers - The Atlantic
“We had the best amphetamines available and they were supplied by the U.S. government,” said Elton Manzione, a member of a long-range reconnaissance platoon (or Lurp). He recalled a description he’d heard from a navy commando, who said that the drugs “gave you a sense of bravado as well as keeping you awake. Every sight and sound was heightened. You were wired into it all and at times you felt really invulnerable.” Soldiers in units infiltrating Laos for a four-day mission received a medical kit that contained, among other items, 12 tablets of Darvon (a mild painkiller), 24 tablets of codeine (an opioid analgesic), and six pills of Dexedrine. Before leaving for a long and demanding expedition, members of special units were also administered steroid injections.

Breaking News. Gov DeSantis, the staunch environmentalist, has a leaking pool of radioactive waste which will clear the Tampa area of human habitation.
Stay safe #12

EDIT: At least he seems to think it is an emergency.

Radioactive waste is a big scare word.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1850391/
A radiological evaluation, to determine exposures to workers mixing this material with a stabilizing agent (portland cement), was performed at a South Louisiana phosphoric acid chemical plant. Measurements of the 226Ra content of the phosphogypsum showed an average of 1.1 +/- 0.3 Bq g-1 (0.7-1.7 Bq g-1). The average measured gross gamma exposure rate on the phosphogypsum pile corresponded to a dose equivalent rate of 0.368 +/- 0.006 mu Sv h-1 (0.32-0.42 mu Sv h-1). Radon daughter concentrations measured on top of the phosphogypsum pile ranged from 0.0006 to 0.001 working levels. An analysis of the airborne 226Ra concentrations showed only background levels.

I guess from Oregon you can afford to be blasé.
We have real radioactive waste hazards near that could leak and contaminate water. What's in Florida is barely detectible and most sensible reporting doesn't have radioactive in the headline.

The Hanford Nuclear Site is located in eastern Washington State, and encompasses more than 500 square miles of land. For nearly 30 years, The U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of Energy produced tons of plutonium for use in the atomic weapon program. Activities at Hanford produced significant quantities of waste containing hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials. Some of these contaminants leaked into the land and water, including into the Columbia River.

Sitting on 586 square miles of desert in Washington, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation is the most toxic place in America.

Buried beneath the ground, in storage tanks, are 56 million gallons of radioactive waste. Many of them are leaking into the ground.

According to NBC, some nuclear experts have said Hanford is "an underground Chernobyl waiting to happen."

Hanford produced the plutonium to build Fat Man, the atomic weapon that was detonated above Nagasaki at the end of World War II, and for the United States's nuclear arsenal during the Cold War.

Georgia and SC have SRC which I believe covers a vast area (310 square Miles IIRC). We all have things to worry about. North, South, East, West and still no viable solution for disposal and long term storage.

I'd give it a wide berth offshore but washed up on the beach with the word INERT staring me in the face... It'd make a nice lawn ornament down here on the coast. Hell, I might even paint over the word INERT just for grins and giggles.
