A change is coming to some people’s life and health insurance policies that will make them more expensive. Prudential recently announced it will consider e-cigarette users the same as traditional smokers. Smokers pay on average about 50% more per year for life insurance. Depending on the policy, that’s between 0 and 0 more.Some other companies were already charging vapers more. The president of Consumer Watchdog, Jamie Court, says he doesn’t necessarily disagree with the practice. “Well you know I’m no fan of the insurance industry but I think they're probably right in this circumstance and you know vaping is a relatively unknown quantity we don’t have any longitudinal studies to show what happens in 10-20-30-40 years to the lungs of people who vape,” said Court. “But there has been some evidence that people have significant scarring.”Court says it’s a little more of a gray area when it comes to health insurance. Right now, plans under the Affordable Care Act don’t charge e-cigarette and tobacco users the same. Some states don’t allow smokers to be charged more. At the same time, the Insurance Information Institute reports some companies have vaping in the non-smoking category because there isn’t enough data yet on the health effects. But with recent injuries and deaths from vaping, some companies now consider it a higher risk factor. 1375

A group that raised more than million in a GoFundMe campaign has completed its own private border wall that the group claims to be on private land. We Build the Wall, the name of the group, was founded by a triple amputee Air Force veteran named Brian Kolfage. “I joined the Air Force in February 2001, right before 9-11,” Kolfage says. “And on the three-year anniversary, our base came under attack. A rocket landed right next to me and instantly blew off my legs, my right hand, and my thumb. I took a lot of damage to my body and that is basically what set my life and set the path of where I am today.” Donations to the online GoFundMe initiative to fund the private construction of the border wall between the United States and Mexico helped create the half mile stretch of steel bollard barrier in Sunland Park, New Mexico, near El Paso, Texas. According to Kolfage, the section of the wall cost an estimated .5 million. “We’ve been promised border security for the last 30 years,” Kolfage says. “I just felt like politicians are playing games, and I see both sides of the story. I know there’s an issue going on. Our politicians are holding both sides in the middle for their own personal gain, and I just felt like, maybe, I could have a difference.” Kolfage explained how him and his foundation were able to build the wall, which took about 20 days to construct. “It might be a 30-foot strip of land that the wall sits on,” Kolfage says. “We own it. We bought it from that land owner. It’s no different than putting up a fence on my yard. It’s your property, you can do what you want. As long as it’s within city ordinances, no one can tell you ‘no.’ It’s that easy. And that’s what people don’t realize, is how easy it is to get this done.”However, on June 11, We Build The Wall is facing some issues with the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC). The IBWC issued the following statement: "A private organization, We Build the Wall, built a gate on federal land in Sunland Park, N.M., near El Paso, Texas, without authority, and then locked the gate closed on June 6, 2019. The private gate blocks a levee road owned by the U.S. Government. After repeated requests to unlock and open the private gate, the United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC), accompanied by two uniformed law enforcement officers from the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office, removed the private lock, opened the gate, and locked the gate open pending further discussions with We Build the Wall. The gate was also opened so that USIBWC employees can conduct maintenance and operations at American Dam. The USIBWC did not authorize the construction of the private gate on federal property as announced on We Build the Wall's Twitter page. The USIBWC is not charged with securing other fences or gates as reported by We Build the Wall. The international border fences are not on USIBWC property. The USIBWC did not open any other gates in the El Paso area as erroneously reported. Other gates and the border fence are controlled by other federal agencies. An incomplete application permit from We Build the Wall was submitted to the USIBWC on Sunday, June 2. The USIBWC responded to the initial permit request on June 6 with questions and requests for additional information. The USIBWC has not yet received a response from the private organization regarding the Agency's initial response to their permit request.The USIBWC is concerned about the safety and security of our employees and the infrastructure at the American Dam, which is next to the privately-constructed gate. Despite USIBWC requests to locate the gate further from American Dam, the private gate was constructed in a way that may channel undocumented immigrants into the American Dam area. When the proper documentation is received for the permit, USIBWC will continue to process the permit application."According to Kolfage, We Build the Wall’s lawyers are handling the situation. “We are working with them to resolve the scheduling,” Kolfage texted E.W. Scripps national correspondent Tomas Hoppough. “They were speaking to people who they thought were with our group but they were not, and caused mass confusion. Our lawyers are handling it and it should be back under our control soon.”Hoppough texted Kolfage asking him if he built on federal land. “Yes, with their authorization,” Kolfage responds. “They helped us design the gate, they were involved every step. Fourteen members from IBWC approved the gate as designed. They asked for a 0,000 electronic gate but we said no and gave them a Jurassic park gate. Our lawyers have and still are working with them. We hope to have it resolved in a day.”Hoppough spoke with Kolfage in his home of Destin, Florida. “I’m sure you’ve had some backlash about building this wall,” Hoppough says. “What are some of those people saying about it?”“They’re saying it’s ineffective, they’re saying it’s not going to stop anyone," Kolfage replies. "They said the Cartel is just going to send them through a different route, which they’re right. It’s like a hose. If you have a leaky hose you can plug one hole, but it’s just going to leak somewhere else. With our wall, we’re going to have to plug in those holes trying to make an impact. But we’re enabling with our immigration system. Right now, it’s broken. We’re enabling these people to make a dangerous trip across the desert. The wall is a band-aid.”When asked what he thought the real solution is, Kolfage responds, "The Band-Aid is the first step. You have to stop the Cartels. You have to address the problem. If you don’t have border security the problem is just going to keep flowing.” Like those who oppose Kolfage’s idea planted along the southern border, he agrees that this is an issue that cannot be solved just by a wall. He believes that both countries need to work together for a better solution. “We’re not done though,” Kolfage says. “You’re going to see a lot more of what we’re doing in the next few weeks. We have other property owners that want to sell their land for us to build a wall. We have an order, whatever is the most vital area, that’s what goes next.” 6199

A man was arrested in Florida after sheriff's deputies say he tried to steal a car from an elderly man in Orlando.The reason he was unsuccessful? He didn't appear to know how to drive a stick shift, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.The incident occurred Tuesday when an elderly man left his car running with the keys in the ignition while he was putting his walker into the trunk.According to the sheriff's office, a man, later identified as 25-year-old Jaylen Alexander, allegedly attacked the elderly man, slamming the hood of the trunk on his chest and his walker.Alexander is accused of then getting into the man's car, locking the doors and trying to drive away. After stalling multiple times, Alexander left the car and took off running, the sheriff's office said. The elderly man told authorities he believed the reason Alexander stalled was because he did not know how to drive a manual transmission, according to a sheriff's arrest affidavit.A few minutes later, Alexander allegedly stole a car from a health care clinic across the street, where a woman had left her car running while she went to get her mother from inside, the sheriff's office told 1187

A bill that will give many Americans a ,200 check in the upcoming days finally got the green light from the US Senate late Wednesday after days of wrangling between the two parties.All 96 senators present voted in favor of the legislation, marking a coveted moment of bipartisanship in Washington. "We were inspired by what was going on around the country," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said. "This is a proud moment for the United States Senate and the country."While both parties generally agreed that a one-time check should be sent to a majority of Americans, details on just how many Americans should receive a check, on how much unemployment insurance should be awarded and who would oversee stimulus for businesses were up for debate. The two sides came to an understanding late Tuesday, but some Senate members opposed some of the unemployment provisions. Now the bill goes to the House, which has been holding pro forma sessions amid the spread of coronavirus. The question is whether any members of the House will force a full vote, which could cause the bill to be delayed for several more days as House members would need to return to Washington. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he will sign the bill into law as soon as Congress sends it to him. The urgently needed bipartisan legislation is the largest economic rescue measure in the country’s history. The last stimulus bill like this was passed during the 2008 financial crisis and amounted to 0 billion.Under the COVID-19 measure, American adults making less than ,000 a year would receive ,200 checks as well as 0 per child to help fill in the gaps for those without a steady income during the crisis. The bill would also create a 7 billion loan program for small businesses. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said small business owners could receive interest free loans. The legislation would also establish a 0 billion lending fund for industries, cities and states. A Treasury Department special inspector general would be appointed to scrutinize the lending decisions and detect any abusive or fraudulent behavior.Schumer said an additional 0 billion will be injected into the American healthcare systems to provide desperately needed medical supplies, like ventilators, respirators, personal protective equipment and beds. About 0 billion will be sent to state and local governments, who are in the front lines of the pandemic. 2465

A group of teenagers who filmed themselves coughing near others at a Virginia grocery store prompted a police investigation and prompted the store to discard fresh produce.According to the Purecellville Police Department, two of the juveniles involved in the incident admitted to filming the video, but police determined there was no criminal intent in the incident.Police say the teenagers filmed themselves walking near grocery store patrons and coughing into their sleeves. Initially, grocery store employees thought that the teens were intentionally coughing on produce in the store. The store immediately removed some of the produce, but police later determined that no cutomers or produce were spit on or coughed on directly."We appreciate the store’s swift action in reporting the incident to police and removing any items in question to ensure the health of store patrons and employees," police said.None of the teens have been arrested, and police say they will not release the footage because those involved were minors.In their warning, police urged parents to speak to their children about "why such behavior is wrong, especially given the current situation regarding the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19)." 1230
