The Food and Drug Administration deemed a Texas A&M AgriLife researcher’s genetically modified cotton seed as safe to consume — a milestone in the 25-year project that could improve agricultural sustainability across the globe.

The feat comes one year after A&M plant biotechnologist Keerti Rathore and his team received U.S. Department of Agriculture approval, which permit the seeds to be grown anywhere. While cotton seeds are high in protein, the naturally produced toxic substance gossypol has prevented people and single-stomach animals from eating the plant. But Rathore told AgriLife Today that this ultra-low gossypol version could change the game, since the annual output of cotton seeds around the world could meet the basic protein requirements of more than 500 million people.  Continue reading “FDA gives green light to edible cotton seeds developed by Texas A&M AgriLife researcher”

China’s Global Times state newspaper suggested on Monday that the American government use its policies in Xinjiang – where the Communist Party has built hundreds of concentration camps for Muslim ethnic minorities – as a “reference” in fighting terrorism at home.

Xinjiang is home to the majority of the nation’s ethnic Uyghur minority. The concentration camps, believed to number upwards of 1,000 and be holding up to 3 million people, contain mostly Uyghur prisoners, but also Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and other ethnic minorities. Reports suggest that some Christians and other enemies of the Communist Party are also languishing in the camps.  Continue reading “China: U.S. Should Use Concentration Camps as ‘Reference’ for War on Terror”

CEYLANPINAR, TURKEY – Russia moved to fill the void left by the United States in northern Syria on Tuesday, deploying troops to keep apart advancing Syrian government forces and Turkish troops. At the same time, tensions grew within NATO as Turkey defied growing condemnation of its invasion from its Western allies.

Now in its seventh day, Turkey’s offensive against Kurdish fighters has upended alliances and is re-drawing the map of northern Syria for yet another time in the eight-year-old war.

Donald J. Trump is not an anti-war president, as should hardly be necessary to note. In his first year in office, the State Department sold more than $75 billion worth of arms overseas, easily an all-time record, while the U.S. is currently fighting in seven different countries simultaneously. Trump’s military budget is approaching all-time high levels and the president has filled his cabinet with some of the most notorious war hawks in American history.  Continue reading “Media Yells “Cut!” When Trump Forgets His Lines and Says Something Anti-War”

Former national security adviser John Bolton was ‘so alarmed’ by efforts to encourage Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and 2016 election meddling that he told an aide, Fiona Hill, to alert White House lawyers, according to the New York Times.  Continue reading “Bolton Opposed Ukraine Investigations; Called Giuliani “A Hand Grenade””

San Antonio, TX — A disturbing lawsuit was filed last year in federal court detailing a horrifying nightmare endured by an innocent woman at the hands of San Antonio police. The victim, Natalie D. Simms had her tampon pulled out by police who then conducted a vaginal cavity search—in public and on video—all to search for non-existent drugs. After learning that the local government has been spending thousands of taxpayer dollars to protect the officers involved, the case may finally be settling for $205,000.  Continue reading “Cops Rip Out Innocent Woman’s Tampon, Vaginally Search Her in PUBLIC—Taxpayers to Be Held Liable”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, was paid $500,000 for work he did for a company co-founded by the Ukrainian-American businessman arrested last week on campaign finance charges, Giuliani told Reuters on Monday.

The businessman, Lev Parnas, is a close associate of Giuliani and was involved in his effort to investigate Trump’s political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, who is a leading contender for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination.  Continue reading “Trump lawyer Giuliani was paid $500,000 to consult on indicted associate’s firm”

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), partially funded by billionaire George Soros, is demanding President Trump’s administration release pregnant migrants at the United States-Mexico border into the interior of the U.S.

In a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, ACLU attorneys request that instead of returning pregnant migrants to Mexico while they await their asylum hearings in the U.S. — a plan made possible by Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” deal — those migrants be released into the country so they can deliver their children, who would automatically obtain birthright American citizenship.

It’s QE4ever, Baby! The Fed’s latest move back into quantitative easing took a quantum leap in a single day with last week’s rush announcement of major permanent money injections to begin this Tuesday. Since the Fed adamantly denies it is doing what it is doing — going back to quantitative easing (because they legally have to deny it) — we could just call it the Fed’s new quantitative mechanics. If we must avoid the term quantitative easing, as some writers are insisting we should, I’ve come up with the new term from the definition of quantum mechanics in which …  Continue reading “QE4ever Arrives in One Quantifiable Quantum Leap!”
