According to an internal FBI bulletin, nationwide protests at state capitols and courthouses are being planned from Jan. 16 until Jan. 20.

So, the FBI has issued their information, you have the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) that gathers their own and then the sheriff’s offices,” he said. “Of course, they share information and then they begin to put action to prevent anything from happening.”A likely part of the security plans would be to put officers in places where they can be seen. “You’re going to get an obvious response (and) there’s going to be visual deterrents” Montiero said.

FDA: Make sure you arent drinking hand sanitizer even if its in a beer can

With a global pandemic underway, companies have gotten creative to meet the demand for hand sanitizer but the Food and Drug Administration warns some of that creativity may be dangerous to consumers. The FDA issued a warning this week about alcohol-based hand sanitizers being packaged in containers that may look like food or drink items. Recently, the FDA learned of a person who purchased a bottle they thought contained drinking water but it was hand sanitizer. Ingesting hand sanitizer can be toxic and the FDA is reporting an increasing number of cases where people suffer serious symptoms or even death from drinking the germ killer. I am increasingly concerned about hand sanitizer being packaged to appear to be consumable products, such as baby food or beverages.

Would you know what to do during a tornado? We have tips

As mid-May arrives, tornado season begins to reach its peak, proving to be a big threat, and nearly every state in the United States can experience a tornado. Having said that, do you know the safest things you can do for you and your family should a tornado strike near your home?
