Drug-testing labs typically report results in black and white: positive or negative.
But a little-known fact about the industry is that those results are often based on standards that are wholly discretionary.

I am positive that every conservative who has ever praised states' rights and decried the onerous power of the federal government will immediately denounce this as an autocratic power grab, right?
More from the party of federalism: "the states are merely an agent for the federal government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the federal government, as represented by the president of the United States, tells them, for the good of the country, to do."

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

This is my take on it. An amped-up man not having his authority “respected”—especially by women—tipped him over the edge.
It’s a common tale, isn’t it? Male rage. “Fucking bitch,” one says, after he discharges his weapon.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
