Momma Politico: The World According to Perry

I refuse to cave to a minivan. I am still a tomboy - comfortable in Levi's, my Yankees cap and Converse. And I always have a political opinion...hell, I always have an opinion, period. My hubby, my kids and my friends think I should run for office....

Donnie will do anything to help Nazis and invalidate the opposition.

Will Donnie point out the murderer with the car had a valid license?

Scant oversight, corporate secrecy preceded U.S. weed killer crisis

As the U.S. growing season entered its peak this summer, farmers began posting startling pictures on social media: fields of beans, peach orchards and vegetable gardens withering away.

Stay classy, Monsanto!!

New versions of the herbicide dicamba developed by Monsanto and BASF, according to farmers, have drifted across fields to crops unable to withstand it, a charge authorities are investigating.  

As the crisis intensifies, new details provided to Reuters by independent researchers and regulators, and previously unreported testimony by a company employee, demonstrate the unusual way Monsanto introduced its product. The approach, in which Monsanto prevented key independent testing of its product, went unchallenged by the Environmental Protection Agency and nearly every state regulator.  

Typically, when a company develops a new agricultural product, it commissions its own tests and shares the results and data with regulators. It also provides product samples to universities for additional scrutiny. Regulators and university researchers then work together to determine the safety of the product.  

In this case, Monsanto denied requests by university researchers to study its XtendiMax with VaporGrip for volatility - a measure of its tendency to vaporize and drift across fields.  

The researchers interviewed by Reuters - Jason Norsworthy at the University of Arkansas, Kevin Bradley at the University of Missouri and Aaron Hager at the University of Illinois - said Monsanto provided samples of XtendiMax before it was approved by the EPA. However, the samples came with contracts that explicitly forbade volatility testing.

Exhibit L of why I left science rather than contemplate working industry as a botanist. And people sometimes act like the fact that I hate Monsanto is wild and irrational and completely unreasonable.

They’ve always been pulling this kind of shit.

[theemperorsfeather]

Yeah :| The way they - and the rest of the industrial chemical producers - keep pulling this shit and getting away with it, and have done so, for decades, is beyond appalling.

make no mistake, these monuments are not war memorials set up after sherman went home. these monuments were largely erected in response to the civil rights movement.

High-Profile Russian Death In Washington Was No Accident — It Was Murder, Officials Say

The US government ruled Mikhail Lesin’s death an accident, but multiple intelligence and law enforcement officials suspect it was a Russian hit. The government is withholding information, so today BuzzFeed News has filed a lawsuit to pry the records loose.

This is part of an ongoing BuzzFeed News investigation. Read more here: Part One: Poison In The System Part Two: From Russia With Blood Part Three: The Man Who Knew Too Much Part Four: The Secrets Of The Spy In The Bag

Vladimir Putin’s former media czar was murdered in Washington, DC, on the eve of a planned meeting with the US Justice Department, according to two FBI agents whose assertions cast new doubts on the US government’s official explanation of his death.

Mikhail Lesin’s battered body was discovered in his Dupont Circle hotel room on the morning of Nov. 5, 2015, with blunt-force injuries to the head, neck, and torso. After an almost yearlong “comprehensive investigation,” a federal prosecutor announced last October that Lesin died alone in his room due to a series of drunken falls “after days of excessive consumption of alcohol.” His death was ruled an “accident,” and prosecutors closed the case.
