Walk into a Navarre home these days and you are quite likely to be greeted by a smell you cannot quite place. A few more steps in and you might even see a slight mist spraying into a room that is responsible for that smell. That aroma comes from essential oils. Essential oils are on a whole other level than your average air freshener. Making your home smell nice is just one of the many added benefits of essential oils, which became a $6 billion industry in 2015.
God Bless the one wounded and three dead U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. This Afghani was vetted for being a terrorist by our military before ever being trained by the same military and given a loaded gun. If the military can’t vet someone for being a terrorist what makes you think our government can when any Sharia Law believing Muslim wants citizenship here? Nothing is perfect or a guarantee. But like those soldiers who turned their backs trusting this unknown Sharia Law killer we are doing the same with every individual let in our country from these Sharia Law Muslim countries. With just 10 Sharia Law believing terrorists among each thousand (just 1 percent) Muslims admitted to our country we face the possibility of 10 terrorist attacks and maybe our death, a family member’s death or our neighbor’s death. The odds of someone dying are better than if you buried 10 12- inch landmines within a 32 ft. by 32 ft. area and waited for someone to walk across it. At some point someone will die.
