In December of 2023 I wrote to the FDA urging them to take a hard look at tara flour as a likely illegally imported adulterated food ingredient.

[the lying liberal jurors and new york state democrats will twist his words to convict him for lying under oath just like they did with Michael Flynn] Any conviction obtained at the so-called "trial" of former President Donald Trump's alleged alteration of financial records will be reversed on appeal, if necessary by the U.S. Supreme Court, because altering financial records is only a crime in New York if you do it to conceal some other crime. Paying Stormy Daniels money is NOT a crime. The purpose of this whole case was just to give Daniels a megaphone to blast her allegations into… [read post]

USA Today published on this recently and cited a 2022 study by Baylor University of 23,000 people who “took the test” related to their parentage. That study was published in the American Journal of Human Genetics in 2022. It found that 3% learned that their parents were not entirely who they thought they were and 5% discovered unknown siblings or half siblings.… [read post]

If there is a payment dispute with a construction lienor — could be a contractor, a subcontractor, or supplier – it is possible, and more than likely, a construction lien may get recorded against real property. This scenario is not uncommon as the lien is the mechanism for the lienor to collateralize their claimed nonpayment.  Now, in reality, it does not take much money to record a lien. A lienor should utilize a lawyer to prepare their liens, but maybe they prepare liens in-house.  Regardless, the recording of the lien is a nominal cost and the clerk that… [read post]

Zourabichvili took to her Twitter account to announce the veto, saying, “Today, I vetoed the Russian law. This law, in its essence and spirit, is fundamentally Russian, contradicting our constitution and all European standards. It thus represents an obstacle to our European path.” Zourabichvili said the veto was legally sound because the law was not… [read post]
