FBI would be the chief investigative body that watches for assassination plots. One would think that would be slightly important to them.
If it's anything like the city of Introducing where I live, the next town over is Regretting.
Yeah, he's been recommended to have his board certification revoked because what he's been handing out recently is very wrong information. Bordering liability for any place that dares keep him resident. Considering the level of recommendation for revocation, he's not going to be a doctor much longer.
He better hope those book sales get him through retirement because he's about to become very unemployable soon enough.
Oh no. Drug companies do indeed do some massive research. Just via intermediaries that receive Federal tax dollars.
See, you pay out the ass first for the research. Then you pay out the ass to get the medication because "we have to recoup the cost of research" that you already paid for via tax dollars.
See, why rob the average American blind once when you can rob them blind twice?
Catholic priests: That's what I keep telling the alter boy!
I mean, it could be both.
Nah, much like shit gets tested on mice, tobacco is the goto for testing on plants.
Yeah, there's time we need to test on pigs and whatnot. But mice are usually good enough in multiple domains, cheap to get a lot, and are pretty easy to handle in a lab. So that's the usual selection for testing shit on.
Pretty much same deal with tobacco, checks enough boxes for interesting things to test against, is super cheap, and pretty straightforward for dealing with in a lab.
You do initial testing on dummy cheap shit. Once you work out the bugs on the cheap thing, pretty much you do roughly the same thing on the expensive stuff that you're actually going to sell.
Tobacco is super cheap and editing the seed gene on it is pretty similar to the seed gene in grapes. So you do most of the work on cheap ass tobacco. When you've got tobacco down switching that same process over to grape only requires a few tweaks.
So you've got seedless grapes, but say this one flavor of grapes you really like is seeded. Boom! Now you can make it seedless. We've got seedless oranges, but say you really like the taste of Valencia oranges (which are seeded). Boom! Now you've got seedless Valencias. And you go from there.
SEC. 2010. OPERATION STONEGARDEN.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT .—There is established in the Department a program to be known as ‘Operation Stonegarden’, under which the Secretary, acting through the Administrator, shall make grants to eligible law enforcement agencies, through State administrative agencies, to enhance border security in accordance with this section.
Well that's escalating fast. This would allow local police to "enhance" border security, which is... Ungood. So this is obviously going to die in the Senate.
To be eligible to receive a grant under this section, a law enforcement agency shall
...
a State or territory with a maritime border.
Ah shit, we're going to give a ton of money to Florida's State army. Boo!
Man, Division C of this just sucks giant donkey balls. Also, some of it doesn't even make math sense. Use the budget allocation pre-2021 for 900 miles of solid wall? There's not enough dinero amigo! And yes, even with the oh so clever item (3):
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall waive all legal requirements necessary to ensure the expeditious design, testing, construction, installation, deployment, integration, operation, and maintenance of the physical barriers, tactical infrastructure, and technology under this section
Just ignoring all the construction regulations isn't going to save that much money on nine followed by two zeros of miles of solid wall in a lot of the land that Congress is requiring. It's just a non-doable thing, even if we were building the wall out of papier-mâché. Also the whole "oh don't worry about documenting anything during the construction" that seemed to work "oh so well" with the PPP loans. Let's clearly do that again.
Oh also of note is the lack of any guidance on E-Verify. Clearly we cannot be going after "innocent" employers who "forgot" to check if the person was a legal immigrant or not.
All I have to say is that whole thing is a BIG ASK for just kicking the can to October.
SEC . 101. (a) Such amounts as may be necessary, at a rate for operations as provided in the applicable appropriations Acts for fiscal year 2023
Just FYI for anyone who doesn't know. The US fiscal year is from Oct. 1 to Sep. 30. So FY23 ends on September 30th and that's literally the first thing this bill covers. "We're just going with it until the end of FY23."
All I'm going to say is that I'm putting a shiny quarter on this being told to pound sand by the Senate. Just a hunch.
Child molesting and former police. That's like the top two thing prisoners do not like in jail. I think Russell is NOT going to make it to his next birthday.
The US never repairing the infrastructure was just preparing us for this.
