“He had nothing to identify who he was. Why he was there? Where he was from? That’s a mystery. It should never be a mystery if a person’s freedom is being taken away from them on the street.”

"They have been ramming cars, shooting people, throwing tear gas near schools, gassing the police, breaking car windows, breaking into homes and they have been arresting both citizens and non citizens all hispanic and black. This is insane."

Is it possible for this guy not to lie. As Speaker, he knows the Biden administration couldn't release the files
From 2021 through 2025 when Biden was president the Epstein files were under strict federal court orders
So Biden couldn't release them. He's a lying, incompetant, impotent piece of shit.

Missourian here. Can confirm - voters passed paid sick leave with 58% and the GOP state legislature overturned it as soon as they could.

Correct: Corn is a terrible human food.. we aren't built to digest it.. Soy beans raw are not digestible and contain enzymes that are digestion harming.. unless cooked.. www.everydayhealth.com/food-ingredi...

Are Edamame and Soybeans the Same Thing?

They come from the same plant, but there are differences between these two types of legumes. Learn more about their nutritional value and health benefits.

"They're also used to make soy products, such as tofu, soy flour, soy sauce, miso, soy milk, and soy burgers. Whole soybeans can be soaked and dry roasted for a soy nut snack, or cooked and added to soups, sauces, and stews."

The cost of these products should go WAY down now, right?

Subsidise legumes, whole grains, and long-storage vegetables!

If you want to stay healthy and you care about humanity, here's what to eat

Scientists say this diet could prevent 40,000 early deaths per day, and cut food-related emissions by half.

Someone needs to be using these excess and presumably very cheap soybeans and making tons of tofu to help feed Americans.

Also freeze-dried or canned soybean curd for cheap long-term storage.
Americans should now have extremely low-cost soybean foods, shouldn't they?
