I think it would be reasonable to expect a significantly higher percentage of cancer related illnesses than the general population among farmers who actually use Roundup if glyphosate is so harmful.

The Roundup trial and the opioid trial have one thing in common; the collusion between trial lawyers, judges and lawmakers to extract money from deep pockets. The law makers created class action lawsuits for the sole purpose of allowing trial lawyers to bundle huge numbers of aggrieved clients so that the settlement could be huge as well. The judges bend over backwards to aid the attorneys and harm the corporations involved and contribute in the effort of the attorneys to seat stupid jurors. And the trial lawyers do in fact seek venues with stupid, poorly educated, often minority jurors who are easily led to make massive punitive awards. Cui bono? The lawyers.

No, transgenderism isn't mass hysteria, it's the natural result of the victim culture where the more oppressed and down-trodden and powerless you are, the higher your status. It's a competition to be as weak as possible because the weakest are the strongest. A homeless handicapped black Muslim lesbian transgendered illegal immigrant with AIDS is practically a god in this scenario.

I am identifying as a man who has already paid these property taxes. Now give me my receipt.

I thought the story was for real at first. Maybe I'm just stupid or things have gone so far anything seems likely.

You are linking to the New York Sun about Britain's 'mistake' in regards to Brexit? The Sun makes the NYT look like the Wall Street Journal, so anything from The Sun should be taken with a hige friggin' grain of salt.

re Who’s Afraid of Roundup?

It's not about cancer, it is a tactic to get Roundup banned. It's just one battle in the Left's effort to make food scarce and expensive.

The Left doesn't want any commercial fertilizer or pesticides used, and they don't want you to eat meat. Heck, they even have the EPA limiting how much manure can be applied. If they get their way there won't be much left to eat.

It looks like all the bugs are starting to crawl out after the initial shock news of this kid's gender reassignment trial. The mother borrowed an egg and went in-vitro, so the kid isn't genetically hers. She is a pediatrician in the north Dallas area who has her son on display on her website, in a dress, as a promotion of her practice. No word on his twin brother. A client mother has complained that this woman tried to talk her into a gender re-assignment for her own son, prompting her to look for another pediatrician, pronto. So the lady has serious issues, but hopefully in a little while she won't be practicing her own brand of crazy medicine anymore. But what a horrific case of child abuse, from someone who is both his parent and a societal authority figure. I really feel sorry for the boy and hope that CPS gets involved; Since they're run by the DA's office they usually don't mess around.

It's almost noon and nobody's commented on the criminal investigation into the Russia hoax...

Maybe we're all snoozing till indictments start to hit!

I moved into a 'Show Me' state of being about 6 months ago. Yeah yeah the IG report is coming out. Yeah yeah the AG is moving into a criminal investigation phase, and they've already seen the IG report. Show me indictments. So far, Sydney Powell is only one who's delivered something useful, for her client Gen. Flynn.

What exactly is there to be excited about? I’ll believe that something is actually going to happen, when someone is arrested.

#8.2 B. Hammer on 2019-10-25 12:36 (Reply)

Just so you know, I'm with you and Aggie. When there's an indictment, I'll reassess.

"She (Sidney Powell) filed a brief in the Michael Flynn case pointing out that prosecutors hid so-called Brady material from her -- evidence the prosecution must disclose to a defendant -- and in fact pressured Flynn to cop a please quickly because they knew the Strzok-Page texts were about to be publicly released and they knew they'd never get a plea after that." -- Ace

And just like that the storm begins.

This is political and nothing to do with health. This ruling
will eventually be tossed.

What will these changes mean? How this all actually plays out is to be determined, since a variety of organizations are planning lawsuits to challenge these changes—but as i showed in my blog extranet landing page login these rollbacks could have negative impacts for those who are working toward species conservation.

I dated a lady once who may have (probably) faked orgasms. 2 or 3 every time we made love. It was great! I don't know if she faked it or not but did I mention "it was great"? I hope she enjoyed it because it was awesome for me. I felt like a Rockstar in front of a screaming audience. Encore! You bet!

Capitalism on trial: Profit is a good thing — except to the political left...'cause they're not getting "their cut".

There was a lot of interpretation in that faked orgasm article and the paper it was based on. Because women are genitally mutilated elsewhere, therefor American women's sexuality is culturally suppressed? And after the American women gave their reasons, the researchers came back around and said "so what these women are really saying is there's a lack of communication," even though they didn't say that.

Looks like some of these researchers are faking science to make their audience feel better.
