Ammon Bundy(C), leader of a group of armed anti-government protesters speaks to the media as other members look on at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon January 4, 2016. The FBI on January 4 sought a peaceful end to the occupation by armed anti-government militia members at a US federal wildlife reserve in rural Oregon, as the standoff entered its third day. The loose-knit band of farmers, ranchers and survivalists -- whose action was sparked by the jailing of two ranchers for arson -- said they would not rule out violence if authorities stormed the site, although federal officials said they hope to avoid bloodshed.

  1. I am the owner of JustCBD Store company (justcbdstore.com) and I’m presently seeking to develop my wholesale side of business. It would be great if anybody at targetdomain share some guidance . I thought that the very best way to accomplish this would be to reach out to vape shops and cbd retail stores. I was really hoping if someone could recommend a reliable site where I can purchase CBD Shops B2B Sales Leads I am already considering creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not exactly sure which one would be the very best option and would appreciate any support on this. Or would it be easier for me to scrape my own leads? Ideas?

  2. Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon on a daily basis. It’s always useful to read articles from other writers and use something from other websites.
