Very few historians have the courage to talk about how the Peas Process was controlled by the leguminati.

Trump: "You wouldn't have a world domination by the dollar if I didn't win this election."

Since Trump returned to office, the share of global foreign exchange reserves held in US dollars has fallen, largely as a result of the dollar's fall in value due to Trump's economic chaos.

I know he killed a lot more than this, but this figure is still mind boggling.

"More than 160,000 people disappeared into the deposed dictator’s vast security apparatus and are believed to be buried in the dozens of mass graves he created, according to Syrian rights groups"

The Assad government carried out a two-year clandestine operation to truck thousands of bodies from one of Syria’s largest known mass graves to a secret location more than an hour away in the remote desert, a @Reuters investigation has found.

i was surprised to learn that bc most protein powders are considered dietary supplements, they basically fall into a regulatory grey area

there's no federal limit on the amount of lead they can contain and neither manufacturers nor the FDA have to prove these products are safe before they're sold
Protein powders and shakes, like all dietary supplements, fall into something of a regulatory gray area.

There is no federal limit specifying the amount of lead allowed in protein powders. And while the FDA requires that manufacturers keep their products free of harmful contaminants, it largely leaves it up to companies to decide what counts as harmful and test their own products for compliance.

Before 1994, manufacturers had to prove herbal products were safe before selling them. That changed after Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. The law sharply limited the FDA’s authority, leaving supplements far less regulated than drugs.

Today, supplements are “presumed safe unless found otherwise,” says Cohen at Harvard Medical School, and most products face scrutiny only after reaching the market—meaning unsafe or contaminated supplements can reach consumers before problems are caught.

The Green Party has confirmed that its deputy leader, Róisín Garvey, has resigned from her role.

It comes as former Green TD Brian Leddin also confirmed today that he has resigned from the party over its decision to back Catherine Connolly in the presidential election.

Mike Johnson — man of deep faith, we are told — wants pastors to be shot in the head with pepper balls.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Also odd that they would say their huge differences include attitudes to Israeli genocide and NATO, given Polanski wants UK to withdraw from NATO and agrees Israeli leaders should be prosecuted committing genocide.
I wonder why they think (((he))) isn't as reliable on those issues as they are?

Didn’t know Catherine Connolly was so anti EU and pro Brexit.

All of this aged like milk.
