Iranian-American ask Abdul to denounce the actions of that IRGC against the Iranian people. Abdul dances around the question and says he will always stand with Democracy and it is up to the people of Iran to decide how to create democracy for themselves. Adbul totally ignores the fact that the people are murdered for risings up. Michigan, don't vote this guy in - you might be sorry.
This is insane. A young Iranian-American describes how his family has been hunted by the IRGC, cites tens of thousands of protesters reportedly killed by the regime, and asks Abdul one simple question: Will you condemn the IRGC? Abdul refuses.

Biochemist Bruce Ames, the scientist who developed the mutagen testโ€”known as the Ames test argued that 99.99% of the pesticides we consume are natural chemicals produced by plants to defend themselves, making synthetic pesticide residues trivial by comparison. Don't worry about eating organic potatoes - get rid of the skins.
Potato skin carries up to 10 times the poison of the flesh, and the advice for forty years has been to leave it on for the goodness. The poison is solanine, with its twin chaconine. The potato makes both to stop being eaten, and it puts them where the attack comes from: the peel, the eyes, the sprouts, and anywhere the tuber has gone green. Light makes more of it. Storage makes more of it. Boiling does not touch it. In 1979, 78 boys at a London school ate a lunch of potatoes that had sat in a sack over the summer holiday. Seventeen went to hospital, 3 of them seriously ill, and the report in the medical journal traced it to the glycoalkaloids in the skin. Germany's food safety institute is blunter than any British packet. Small children should not eat potatoes with the skin on. Green or sprouting potatoes go in the bin. The cooking water is discarded, because the poison the boil pulls out is in the pan, not in the drain. The legal limit is 200 milligrams a kilo, and the institute wants it halved. Then the fads that put the peel back on. The jacket potato, skin and all, for the fibre. The roasted skin-on wedges. The cook-and-cool trick for resistant starch, done with the skins left on because the recipe said so. Every one of them concentrates the one part of the plant it built to hurt you. A grandmother peeled every potato in this country until about 1985, cut out the eyes and threw the green ones away, and was told by a generation of food writers that she had been wasting the goodness. The nightshade the potato belongs to is the same family as deadly nightshade. The tuber has never forgotten it. The packet says leave the skin on.

As the leading 2028 presidential candidate, Newsome labeled Israelโ€™s conduct in the Gaza war a โ€œmoral catastropheโ€ and noted a sharp decline in Democrats accepting AIPAC funding, framing it as a mainstream shift rather than a fringe view. โ€ข As the leading 2028 Democratic presidential prospect, Newsomโ€™s statements underscore a party evolution toward prioritizing criticism of Israel as the party norm.

Before the ACA expired, CMS received roughly 275,000 complaints in 2024 that people were enrolled or had their plans changed without consent. GAO found at least 160,000 federal Marketplace applications in plan year 2024 with likely unauthorized agent or broker changes. CMS suspended about 850 agents and brokers and later canceled coverage for hundreds of thousands of unauthorized enrollments. The Justice Department brought cases alleging large-scale fraudulent enrollment schemes for commissions. Because of partisan disagreements, Democrats generally wanted to extend the enhanced credits as they existed. Many Republicans opposed a clean extension, citing cost, concerns about program integrity and fraud, and preference for alternatives (such as directing more money into health savings accounts or adding minimum premiums). Compromises did not pass both chambers before the deadline. We donโ€™t need more government involvement in anything since most are crooks.
An Uber driver shared with a staff member of mine how after Trumpโ€™s healthcare cuts, his monthly premiums increased 400%. His copay went from $1 to up to $90 for each of his medicines. Itโ€™s not just this Uber driver. Itโ€™s happening all over America. We need Medicare for All.

Hello Hunter Biden. Thank you for sharing your views on the oil and gas business. We know you worked for foreign oil and gas entities primarily Ukraineโ€™s Burisma and Chinaโ€™s CEFC China Energy. This is interesting given your lack of measurable talent or experience in this business. Burisma Holdings is the Ukrainian natural gas producer that put you on their Board of Directors in April 2014 - again despite your lack of talent or experience - while your father oversaw U.S. Ukraine policy as Vice President. You earned approximately $1 million per year ($83,333 per month) but that was reduced to roughly $500,000 per year starting March 2017 when your father was no longer in office. You served until April 2019 - which is surprising despite your lack of talent or experience - but it was a good gig while you had it. You and your associates (including partner Devon Archer) earned approximately $6.5 million for being your father's son. Not too bad for not having any experience in the energy sector or any discernible talent in deal making. But lets not forget your work with the Chinese. You worked for CEFC China Energy, the Chinese oil and gas conglomerate with reported CCP and military intelligence ties from 2017โ€“2018. CEFC and related entities paid approximately $4.8 million to companies controlled by you and your Uncle. Your total work for for CEFC and related Chinese energy entities to the Biden family/associates was over $8 million. These figures come from bank records, IRS search warrant applications, congressional memos, court documents, and contemporaneous reporting. (We will leave out your work with Kahzhakstan and other questionable enterprises.) And what is surprising to all of us is that after earning nearly $20 million working for foreign owned oil and gas companies when you post stupid things like this it is clear that after 10 years and $20 million dollars. YOU STILL DON"T UNDERSTAND THE OIL AND GAS BUSINESS. But thank you for sharing your views anyway. Good luck on your comeback tour.
Chevron just posted $12 billion in profit. Up 400% in a year. Their biggest quarter ever. Exxon made $14.5 billion. You paid for all of it at the pump. Say what you want about Trump. Heโ€™s making something great again. And whoโ€™s more deserving than Big Oil. In 2024 he asked them for a billion dollars and promised their whole wish list in return. This morning they collected.
