Amazon Is Warning People Not To Use Some Solar Eclipse Glasses That Were Sold On The Site
"Out of an abundance of caution and in the interests of our customers, we asked third-party sellers that were offering solar eclipse glasses to provide documentation to verify their products were compliant with relevant safety standards," the company said in a statement.
Amazon only removed products that didn't provide the documentation. All other solar eclipse glasses that submitted safety information to Amazon are still listed on the site.
Amazon customers who purchased glasses can contact the company with any questions or concerns.

Leader of neo-Nazi group linked to Charlottesville attack was a US marine
Pic at link..
Dillon Hopper, the self-styled commander of Vanguard America, is a recently retired marine staff sergeant and veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Members of his white supremacist group marched in Virginia last weekend.
Hopper, 29, has been using his former name, Dillon Irizarry, when appearing in public for Vanguard America. But he officially changed his name to Dillon Ulysses Hopper in November 2006, according to court records in his native New Mexico.
Hoppers active duty with the marines ended in January this year, according to a Department of Defense record. He has lived in California and Ohio since returning to the US. Hoppers full service record could not immediately be obtained. His Facebook avatar is currently a cartoon image of Donald Trump building a wall.

Trump recorded a campaign robo-call. And it is soooo bad.
It sounds like someone's cheap phone recording, and Trump's voice fades in and out.
THIS is the help they are giving to a state Republican, in this case, for Ala.'s Luther Strange.
If you want to have a listen,

Fuck Trump. Trump owns this. Republicans own this. This isnt the Alt-Right, this IS the right. These sons of bitches are literally shouting Sieg Trump in the streets of Charlottesville right now. Fuck Trump.
These people are the vile residue, the foul distillation, of every failed hateful rotten-tooth inbred ideology in history. Dont let them hide. Dont make excuses for them. Get them out in the open. Make them own it. They have jobs some of them. They have parents and kids and neighbors. They have churches. The Constitution gives them a right to their hate, but not a right to be free of the consequences. Publish their pictures. Publish their license plates. Get them out in the open. Pull their hoods off. Theyre standing out there shouting hate, flying the flag of treason, their arms upraised in the Hitler salute. Make them own it. Make them infamous. Dont let them hide.
