When will the liberals figure out there will always be upheaval in the Middle East, always. Why do they pretend otherwise. I’ll never be able to understand why the liberal political side can’t understand this or they just refuse to except the other side is right. We have the oil, we need the oil, but let’s buy the oil and send trillions of dollars for it , to a part of the world that prays for our death and destruction. Brilliant, A-holes

Europe not as anti-chemical as we think
The European Parliament, in what I’ve read described as a “surprise vote” (it surprised me), decided this week to drop legislation aimed at reducing the use of all chemical pesticides in the European Union by at least 50%. The law would also have completely banned chemical pesticides in “sensitive areas” such as playgrounds and public parks.

The proposal, which was a plank of the European Green Deal, was aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the EU’s food system. However, the European People’s Party (the largest group at the European parliament) called the proposal “extremist” and “excessive,” claiming it would reduce food production in Europe.

Following debate on the measure, 299 Members of the European Parliament voted to reject the proposal, while 207 supported it and 121 abstained.

EU to allow glyphosate use for another 10 years



In a similar surprise move, the European Commission will be allowing the use of the herbicide glyphosate (most commonly known as Roundup, at least here) for an additional 10 years, after the European Union member states could not reach the required majority to either renew or reject the approval of the product. When that stalemate occurs, the Commission is obliged to adopt a decision, and theirs will be to renew the product—albeit with some new conditions and restrictions, including a prohibition of pre-harvest use as a desiccant and the need for certain measures to protect non-target organisms.

This is very surprising since we know this causes cancer hence the Lawsuit in the US against the makers of Round Up. But the EU Leaders don't care about their own people. Come to think of it, our Govt doesn't really care about us either.

Is RINO ultra-naive Nikki Haley going to continue her unrealistic "path forward" charade as she only picked up VT with a total of around 17 delegates ...??!

Former LA Dodger and San Diego Padre Steve Garvey will take on corrupt Marxist hack Adam Shiffty for the CA Senate seat!

And , I kid you not , go as far as putting a litter box in the classroom when he or she identifies as a cat. This is from the mouths of teachers.

What are we doing?
