    Boy I wish my friend that died from using it knew all this helpful info before he used it he might still be alive today, oh and all those others that have gotten none Hodgkins Lymphoma from it .

     

    And if it does dissipate in the dirt plain to me how Glyphosate was found in bottled wines in California please ? I think someone might be BS ing you because everything I've ever read about it is once its in the water it doesn't go away .

     

    Either that or your one of the gov't or Monsatans scientist .  And that is too why it's found in corn, soy products and many more foods we inject because it dissipates sorry not believing that the proof tells me other wise .

     

    You must be reading the Monsatan hand book !!

     

    One last thing if this is so safe then please tell me why it is banned in something like 7 European counties ?? Inquiring minds want to know  thanks !! 

    I'm not belittling your concerns, but I do wonder how your friend knew his lymphoma was caused by glyphosate.

     

    How would it wind up in wine? As I understand it, it isn't the vine/grape uptaking it from the soil. It is from a grower spraying glyphosate somewhere nearby and from "drift" - particles that are sprayed do wind up in places they weren't meant to go. And that is a real problem. As far as remaining chemically active in the soil? There are very good studies showing that it doesn't, which is why the standard warning is a fairly short waiting period between clearing growth with glyphosate and planting.

     

    Again, I don't know a whole lot about commercial usage, and obviously there are big problems there. I'm talking about my own residential usage. I limit that (30% vinegar is awesome and cheap!) and follow the guidelines of my agricultural extension. For me, that's Colorado State University, and they are great people and researchers. Extremely helpful and nonpolitical; what we want our public servants to be.

    I get your point. But there are so many insane things wrong with the American food system. The worst in any developed country. 

    The other point I'm trying to make is that even assuming that glyphosate is toxic, that toxicity is limited to those applying it, those inhaling it downwind, etc. There is no study showing that plants grown in soil previously treated with glyphosate show such toxicity. 

    Did the American farmer jump into glyphosate overuse without sufficient study or oversight? Absolutely. And the marketing by Monsanto was aggressive and treated it as basically risk-free - I think they invented the term "conservation tillage" which means "kill the weeds with Roundup instead of deep tilling the soil before planting." I lived in the upper Midwest back in the day and those commercials aimed at farmers were a daily thing.

    International Study Reveals Glyphosate Weed Killers Cause Multiple Types of Cancer

     

    There are hundreds of these studies.  You cant find one rational functional medicine person to claim you can use glyphosate safely.  My question is why is RFK going after red dye #5 instead of real issues that are poisoning Americans.  Basically all of our industrial farming concepts.

    Well, you're right about that - the idea that the farm/agribusiness lobby protects glyphosate.

    But again, the alternatives aren't great, and some (particularly for noncommercial users) may actually be worse. I am convinced that the "reformulated" Roundup you can get in Home Depot today is quite a bit worse.

    Round up which is a version of Agent Orange and has been proven to cause (beyond a shadow of a doubt) None Hodgkins Lymphoma which can and has been the cause of many deaths in the US, which I have personally had a life long family friend die directly from the use of Round up yet the company that made Agent Orange & now make Round are still allowed to produce it because oof the massive amounts of profit due to laziness and will continue to for generations because it is now in the aquifer  .

     

    Monsanto or as I call it MonSatan the originator of Agent Orange & now the product Round up which has been sold to Bayer continue to sell this product for immense profits because of pure American laziness & despite all of those deaths that were directly from the use of this product it still is being produced . Then the fact that this product has been banned in several European countries because they too know that it is poison has no influence what so ever on America .

    Roundup (glyphosate) works. Really well. And it doesn't remain active in the soil, so if you use it correctly (to kill off an invasive weed) it is far less harmful than many competing herbicides. The ordinary homeowner who uses glyphosate probably bears almost zero risk, again, if used properly. Commercial farms may be a different story because they are using huge amounts on an annual basis. But again: tradeoffs. Glyphosate allows farmers to use conservation tillage and to greatly reduced soil erosion, which over the long term threatens American farmers more than any Argentina ever will.

     

    So Bayer changed the formulation of consumer (not farmer) Roundup to a different chemical. I noticed that after I bought it this year and it didn't work very well. Thankfully I noticed before I used it around my vegetable garden; the replacement chemical DOES remain active in the soil for weeks. And it works less well so people will likely use more of it. I don't think that's progress.

     

    Me? I use 30% vinegar whenever I can. Cheap and Immediate weed killer and makes my yard smell like cheap vinaigrette dressing, which I kind of like. Roundup for the invasive stuff caused by my idiot neighbor not killing her goat head thorn weed, which punctures my bike tires. In other words, be a smart consumer, but don't ban something that causes people to switch to something worse.

    (by the way, Agent Orange was not glyphosate)

    Let's see what his practice participation is this week. I don't expect him active Thursday. He was ruled out fairly quick. I think he survives. 

     

    They gave Codrington a LOT of chances before cutting bait. And he offered nothing as a CB. Hardman at least may offer something on offense. 

     

    My prediction is he's inactive due to the calf this week, and yes I think it's a legitimate injury, and then he has 10 days to heal up, get more practice time in and be active the following game.

    Agreed. There's room for some plays on offense for a guy that fast (I'm assuming he hasn't lost significant speed)

    Ouch. Massie wrecked.

     

    And although not specifically calling out the Blaze reporting, he's throwing water on it.

     

    Congressman Massie,
    When Director Patel and I entered on duty in our leadership positions in the FBI we had our hands full, but we were happy to be part of the President’s team, and we still are. 


    Despite the multitude of challenges we faced, one of our first initiatives was to aggressively pursue a new strategy to investigate the January 6 pipe bomb, terror attack. We brought in new personnel to take a look at the case, we flew in police officers and detectives working as TFOs (task force officers) to review FBI work, we conducted multiple internal reviews, held countless in person and SVTC meetings with investigative team members, we dramatically increased investigative resources, and we increased the public award for information in the case to utilize crowd-sourcing leads. 


    This is only a small sample of the work the FBI personnel and leadership team have put into this critical investigation. 
    When I spoke with you yesterday a little after 8am ET (screenshots attached), I offered you an in-person brief on our work. We spoke for ten minutes. 


    I called you back a bit after 7:30pm ET to again make that offer. You didn’t answer and have yet to call me back. 
    Despite this, you continue to imply that the Director and I are targeting investigators in the case. This is disgusting, even by the low standards many have for politicians. You know my number, and you’re free to call me anytime. But it’s easier to tweet and throw BS bombs. 


    Yes, our leadership team will be meeting with FBI team members today, and we will avail them of all the whistleblower resources they need to disclose ANY evidence of malfeasance in the prior administration. And we will ask about threads that may have gone un-pulled under prior leadership, because we are passionate about solving this case.
    But a week of near 24-hour work on RECENT open source leads in the case has yet to produce a break through, and some of the media reporting regarding prior persons of interest is grossly inaccurate and serves only to mislead the public. 


    I proudly serve in this administration, and I proudly work with Director Patel to reform and advance the crime fighting and national security missions of the FBI. We would love to have you as a partner in this mission, rather than a dog barking behind a fence.

    Somehow Tarheel fails to comprehend that his heroes Patel and Bongino characterize the Beck's reporting as "grossly inaccurate."

    And his next post repeats that "grossly inaccurate" reporting.

    One might conclude that he's just plain dumb.

    Now onto the Bills.

    I am not a local, but a big weather worrier. 
     

    I am seeing 20 mph wind speed, which is high but manageable. The bigger issue is the gusts, which might be around 40 mph. If it is gusting like that with any frequency, forget about the downfield passing game. 

    So you're saying that favors us since we don't have this "downfield passing game" thing.

  8. So here's where I stand because it's where the evidence takes me.

     

    -Trump has playfully commented a couple of times on Epstein. The first was the famous "Jeffrey loves women, a lot of them on the younger side." Then we saw the weird birthday book submission referring to every day being a new special secret. There was no indication of any disdain regarding Epstein's behavior; it was more like this is our own little thing.

     

    - the recently released 2011 Jeffrey-Ghislaine email - created long before the Presidential run - talks about Trump as a frequent visitor.

     

    - Trump himself has made weird creepy comments about his own teenage daughter. He has deliberately put himself in situations where he is around underage models (Miss Teen America, etc) and has been known to cop a look at them as they are partly clothed

     

    - We just saw new details of Matt Gaetz's 17 year old "escort." The basic facts surrounding this sordid tale have been well known in Congress for quite some time. Yet Trump nominated him to be Attorney General. Conclusion: Trump doesn't think that this was a big deal. Lots of guys do that. Himself?

     

    - He has said that when you're famous, you can do whatever you want.

     

    - He has had at least one (and where there's one there's usually more) with an "adult film actress" - someone who had sex for money, commonly known as a prostitute. He is not exactly the classic happily married man; he is a serial creeper

     

    - Virginia Giuffre killed herself, but before that had said nothing untoward happened between herself and Trump

     

    - Trump also has the known practice of paying off people who could release embarrassing information about him

     

    Conclusion: I think it is very, very likely that Trump had sex with women procured by Epstein/Maxwell. I think it is quite likely that he had some kind of inappropriate engagements (think "sensual massage" as Austin Powers put it) with at least one underage girl, and that there is a reasonable probability that this involved sexual activity of one sort or another.

     

    Am I saying there's proof that would stand up in a court of law or impeachment proceedings of these things? No.

    But I am saying that anyone who strongly disagrees with my conclusions is just being blinded by politics. The pattern is just too clear, both with Epstein and with Trump. If we were talking about Mike Johnson or Chuck Schumer hanging out with Epstein and his girls, my conclusion would be different. Clinton? Trump? Yep. Probably. With a high degree of certainty.

    Do you knee jerk assume Clinton as another bad guy associated with Epstein or nah?

    Yes.

    And last I checked, he is not the President. He is a private citizen, and if he were to somehow run again for public office I would expect a full interview in which he confronted with documents and photos involving Epstein.

  10. Trump may ease tariffs on bananas and coffee. Rationale: we don't grow bananas and only a negligible amount of coffee.

    But I thought these were "reciprocal tariffs," aimed at getting exporting countries to treat us fairly. If you're going to have leverage over Colombia's treatment of our exports, you're gonna have to tariff coffee (oh, and cocaine).

     

    Just another example of the lack of any logic to Tariff Man's entire concept.

    I find this to be an odd message.  How exactly are the democrats aligning with Epstein because of their "mutual hatred of Trump?"  Epstein was a bad guy.  I don't think that pointing out that Epstein had information about Trump because he knew Trump (arguably pretty well) and had a longstanding relationship with Trump that allowed him to glean insights into Trump, is aligning with Epstein?  It implies that one bad guy may have been close to another bad guy and that they both contributed to bad stuff happening.  There is, minimally, guilt by association here which is, minimally, not a good look for Trump.  I'm not saying Trump is guilty of committing crimes here, I have no idea, but the fact that he had the relationship that he had with Epstein is worthy of more information and a closer investigation.  And, while I tend to find the democrats amusingly inept at politics, they are doing the most obvious thing that they ought to do here, which is to highlight Trump's association with Epstein, including this really bad guy's (Epstein) opinion of Trump.  

     

    It is my hope, and I would like to believe the hope of any reasonable, concerned, law abiding, citizen, that whomever was empowered by Epstein to engage in illegal activities and, particularly, pedophilia, should be outed with the Epstein files as well as any other sources of evidence and that such activity causes them to have to face consequences.  I also think that this ought to apply to everyone, democrat, republican, British royals, etc.  The fact that this topic can brush up so closely to Trump should probably concern all of us as he is the president and may have engaged in underage sexual activity with girls that were procured by Epstein.  Sorry, but, this is just bad.

    Agreed.

    It is certainly not surprising that bad people would hang together. Or even that one bad person would think another bad person is worse.
