Here’s a heart-breaking story by John R. Platt and Dipika Kadaba of The Revelator. It turns out that 824 Florida manatees died last year, almost 50% more than in 2017.
Those 824 mortalities (deaths) represent 13% of the Florida manatee population, and many of them were caused by people – either directly or indirectly.
The Revelator released a video that goes into more detail about why so many manatees died last year. Click below to watch it, and be sure to visit this link for the original story.
This old lady handed her bank card to the teller and said “I would like to withdraw $10”. The teller told her “for withdrawals less than $100, please use the ATM.
The old lady wanted to know why… The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her “these are the rules, please leave if there is no further matter. There is a line of customers behind you”.
The old lady remained silent for a few seconds and handed her card back to the teller and said “please help me withdraw all the money I have.” The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and respectfully told her “you have $300,000 in your account but the bank doesn’t have that much cash currently.
Could you make an appointment and come back again tomorrow? The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. The teller told her any amount up to $3000. “Well please let me have $3000 now.” The teller kindly handed $3000 very friendly and with a smile to her.
The old lady put $10 in her purse and asked the teller to deposit $2990 back into her account. The moral of this story is…. Don’t be difficult with old people, they spent a lifetime learning the skill.

Product Description
Goat Milk Formula Recipe Kit
May 10, 2024 – Healthwest Minerals, Inc. d/b/a Mt. Capra Products of Chehalis, Washington, is recalling 1,506 boxes of Goat Milk Formula Recipe Kit on the recommendation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and advises consumers to immediately discontinue use of the product as infant formula. The FDA is concerned that the formula does not meet all FDA requirements for infant formula, does not provide sufficient nutrition when used as an infant formula, and the storage instructions may be insufficient for the product. Infants consuming the recalled product without additional iron supplementation can develop iron deficiency anemia and feeding intolerance.
The Goat Milk Formula Recipe Kit 10 lb 8 oz was sold through Mt. Capra’s web store (mtcapra.comExternal Link Disclaimer) or one retail store in Chehalis, Washington, from 05/01/23 to 05/01/24.
The product’s case has one of the following affected lot codes, which is affixed to the case as seen in the below image: 13150423, 13150723, 13151223, 13151323, 13151623, 13151823, 13151923, 13152123, 13152423, 13152523, 13152623, 13152823, 13153023, 13153123, 13153423, 13153523, 13153723, 13153923, 13154123, 13154423, 13154523, 13154723, 13154923, 13155023, 13155223, 13150124, 13150424, 13150624, 13150924, 13151024, 13151124, 13151224, 13151424, 13151624, 13151724, 13151824.
FDA notified Mt. Capra of an adverse event report of anemia in one infant. FDA determined that while the caregivers were using the Goat Milk Formula Recipe Kit and recipe, the caregivers substituted some ingredients with a different brand of multivitamin, which created a product deficient in vitamin B12 as well as folate and ultimately resulted in the development of anemia.
The firm does not recommend using this product for infants from 0-12 months of age. If you have prepared and fed your infant Mt. Capra formula from their Goat Milk Formula Recipe Kit, we recommend you contact a healthcare provider to discuss if testing for nutritional deficiencies is recommended.
The safety of our customers and products is Mt. Capra’s primary concern. This recall is being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Customers are advised to destroy or return product. If you have any questions, call Joe Stout at 360-748-4224, Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm PT, or send an email to orders@mtcapra.com.

Award-winning journalist Alex Newman, author of the popular book “Deep State” and the new best-selling book called “Indoctrinating Our Children to Death,” says the UN’s quest for total tyrannical control of your life is coming sooner than you could imagine.
Newman explains, “The bigger story here that people are not paying attention to is the UN is coming together in September… and they are having ‘The Summit of the Future.’ “
“They are telling us they are going to bring out radical drastic reforms in the structure of the UN… and the power of the UN. Think of it as the biggest power grab ever at the global level. The Secretary General of the UN (António Guterres) has put out briefs where he is calling for the UN to be the one world global dictatorship with him at the helm. In emergencies, the UN would have all power in emergencies and have all power to oversee emergency response…
They say the crisis could be a climate crisis, an economic crisis, environmental crisis, pandemic crisis, black swan crisis or maybe something from outer space. So, basically, anything could be a crisis, and when the Secretary General declares a crisis, all power and authority would go to the UN. This is like a blank check on the wealth and liberty on every person on the planet, and this is coming soon. It is imminent. This is coming in September at the UN, and it is a power grab of historic proportions.
They know their time is short, and they are going for the big enchilada here. This is really a summit for a tyrannical future…
They want control of every aspect of your life.”
If you think the “depopulation” or murder program by the Deep State is some sort of conspiracy theory or myth, think again. Newman says:
“One of the interesting things about going to the UN conferences is they are totally open and totally transparent about the fact that they think there are way too many of us on this planet.
We are taking up their space and consuming their resources. They say this openly.
They say there are way too many people having way too many babies, and we have to drastically cut back on the number of people on the planet. They have a whole agency dedicated to this called the UN Population Fund.”
One sure fire way to kill a lot of people in a short amount of time is war. Newman says:
“They have understood, the globalists, the Deep State, the evil doers and the sick cabal, have understood for a very long time that war was the best mechanism for bringing about their totalitarian one world government.
This is not speculation on my part. This is what they say. Their game plan is war, famine, energy crisis and economic crisis. These are all tools and catalysts for accelerating this agenda.
If millions of people die in a third world war, and it does not matter if it is Iran and Israel, or China and Tiawan, or Ukraine and Russia, it really does not matter, they want millions and millions of people dead so people will give up their attachment to the nation state, self-government and individual liberty and give up anything, money or freedom, anything to make it stop.”
Don’t lose hope because Newman also talks about all the things you can do to not comply with tyranny.
Newman also points out what state and local governments can do and are doing to resist this UN total control of everything. Newman says, “We are at war, and everyone needs to put on the full armor of God.”
There is much more in the 40-minute interview.

The U.S. Secret Service conducted an investigation into a Maine veteran after he made jokes about the Biden family on social media.
According to the Secret Service, the federal law enforcement agency tasked with defending the President, the Maine man who drew their ire “posted statements of unusual interest towards the Biden family,” but was not accused of making any threats towards the president, his family, or any other government officials.
The investigation, which took place in 2022, was revealed by the Daily Caller after it acquired Secret Service documents.
The investigation was conducted by agent John Mazza, who sought to reveal the identity of an X, or Twitter, user who had posted jokes about President Biden.
Mazza’s contact information was found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, suggesting a possible personal connection with the Biden family.
The Maine man’s name, which was acquired by the Daily Caller, was not released after he requested to remain anonymous, although the outlet did reveal that he was an U.S. Army veteran.
According to Secret Service Documents, Mazza began his investigation in the summer of 2022, after reading his insulting tweets about the president.
In one tweet, which the Secret Service considered cause for investigation, the man claimed that he had left a “long, disrespectful, and insulting” voice mail at a phone number he believed to belong to the president, and suggested that he had texted a phone number linked to Hunter Biden.
In another tweet, the man called for the arrest of members of the government, and punishments ranging from jail time to capital punishment.
“We need you people in congress to impeach the entire Biden administration, some need prison. Court martial Austin and Milley. Destroying our country should men [sic] the death penalty for the leaders of the executive branch, pentagon, state department, and doj [sic],” said the man.
None of the posts cited by the Secret Service contained any direct threats from the man directed towards the president or other officials.
The only tweet in which the man claimed to have plans to commit a crime came was a joking response to another tweet asking what criminal activities extremists were planning.
The man responded, saying that he was planning to “invade the white house [sic] and get pics of Biden in his ‘Depends,’” a brand of adult diapers.
Even in his joking response, the man did not suggest that he had any plan to commit any physical violence against the president.
The Secret Service is legally permitted to conduct investigations, but only if it can show that a threat of kidnapping, bodily harm, or death has been made against the president, or other officials in the line of presidential succession.
Mazza did not cite any such threats, or accuse the man of making any prior to launching his investigation, but did suggest that the man had made threatening posts with some of his 14 Twitter profiles.
He did not claim that those threats were made against the president or vice-president.
Despite finding no threats against the president from the man after scouring his social media profiles, the Secret Service requested an extension for its investigation.
The request was granted and, after initially misidentifying the man, they discovered his blog, which also did not contain any threats.
After the man was identified, the Secret Service subpoenaed information on the man, despite having no evidence of criminal activity from him.
The Secret Service did not answer queries from the Daily Signal asking whether they continue to issue subpoenas against citizens for showing interest in the Biden family.
After extensively investigating the man, and acquiring numerous personal details, the Secret Service discovered no threats, and the man did not face any criminal charges.
Alright, it’s time to ban ze meat. The “lobster of the trees” is here and we no longer need the deliciousness of beef, pork, or poultry. Time to pack it up. The New York Times says these things are delicious.
“Pretty much anything you can make with shrimp, you can make with cicadas.”
Those are the words of chef Joseph Yoon, an “Edible Insect Ambassador.” His business, Brooklyn Bugs, pushes the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals right on its homepage.
Chef Joseph Yoon, an Edible Insect Ambassador, is a world renowned chef and thought leader in ‘entomophagy,’ or eating insects, and tours around the world to share the incredible potential of not only edible insects, but the burgeoning innovation in Insect Agriculture to impact the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and address the challenges of food security, climate change, health & nutrition, workforce activation, environmentalism, and sustainability.
Let’s get back to The New York Times article with its “lobsters of the sea,” where we’re introduced to one of Mr. Yoon’s dishes.
For his ramp and cicada kimchi, he leaves the insects whole and intact in their crackling shells so they’re slowly permeated with a spicy fermenting juice, and serves it with a wobble of soft tofu and warm rice. He fries cicadas to make tempura, folds sautéed cicadas into Spanish tortillas with potato and onion, and bakes cheesy casseroles with cicada-stuffed pasta shells.
In the United States, eating insects is often sensationalized, trivialized or framed as a source of cheap protein for an end-of-the-world scenario. But for about two billion people who regularly eat insects around the world, it’s one of our oldest and most ordinary foods.
So a quarter of our global population are bug eaters?
Here, the NYT introduces us to another insect enthusiast:
Andrew Jack, a private chef in Chicago, cooks with grasshoppers, ants and their larvae, and other insects, but said he finds the quality of these ingredients in the United States to be extremely unpredictable.
‘Yes they’re high in protein, but that gets exaggerated as a talking point,’ he said. Cicadas also contain fats, carbohydrates and a number of organic compounds, providing a complexity that makes them more interesting as ingredients.
The emergence is a rare opportunity for Mr. Jack to get his hands on fresh, high-quality cicadas at their peak and to see how they develop umami. He will travel to rural Wisconsin to forage, then grind cicadas down, salt the mash and let it ferment much like a shrimp paste.
And now that they’ve got us all comfy with the idea of eating cicadas (I mean, two chefs are bugging out about them, so they must be good) here’s the good stuff.
Did you know that you can cook cicadas at any point in their life cycle?
Here’s more on the cicada’s culinary properties.
When foragers choose to capture and cook cicadas during this emergence is a matter of taste and timing.
The hunched, hard-shelled, butterscotch-colored nymphs that first emerge from the ground are easy to scoop up as they scurry. Wait awhile and they burst from their little exoskeletons as soft, white-winged tenerals.
If the cicadas gathered as tenerals aren’t cooked right away or put on ice, within a matter of hours they go through another growth spurt, shifting into adults. Their bodies darken and harden, and they focus on finding a mate somewhere up in the trees.
You can catch cicadas there for weeks — they sing so loudly, they’re pretty hard to miss. But those who’ve cooked them over the years pass along one bit of advice: If you want to get a good taste, act fast. The longer you wait, the less meaty the cicadas will be.
How else would we have discovered that cicadas are just as good, if not better than, shrimp and other seafood?
Matter of fact, I’m gonna head outside right now; I think I hear some screeching in the trees and it’s getting close to lunchtime.

Moms Across America, a nationwide non-profit, has initiated an extensive testing program on the top twenty fast food brands in America, plus one restaurant, California’s In-N-Out Burger. Forty-two samples of 21 brands were tested for the most widely used herbicide in the world, glyphosate, 236 agrochemicals, 4 heavy metals, PFAS, phthalates, and mineral content. The top ten brands were additionally tested for 104 commonly used veterinary drugs and hormones, B Vitamins and calories.
Fast food is consumed by eighty-five million Americans each day, and many chains are often the suppliers of school lunches. Thirty million school meals are served to our children each day, and for millions of underprivileged children, these toxic meals are their only access to nutrition. Our previous testing has shown that America’s school lunches are indeed toxic.
To further investigate the status of a major source of food and nutrition in America, Moms Across America supporters, including Children’s Health Defense, the Centner Academy, and many individual supporters, recently initiated extensive testing focused specifically on America’s most popular fast food chains to explore the potential contamination of our food supply, which is likely affecting our physical and mental health.
Despite spending the highest amount in the world on health care, America has the worst health of all industrialized nations. Healthcare costs are crippling America. The United States will spend a projected $4.7 trillion — or 18 percent of the national economy — on healthcare in 2023. On a per capita basis, the United States spends nearly double the average of similarly wealthy countries. Nonetheless, health outcomes are generally worse than in other countries, including in areas like life expectancy, infant mortality, and diabetes.
The CDC reports that 1 out of 6 of our children have learning disorders. and more than 1 out of 5 Americans have a mental health disorder. These disorders can lead to increased violence. According to an extensive 2022 report from the Commonwealth Fund, the US has, by far, the highest global incidence of death by assault.
Through various studies such as those by Barbara Reed Stitt, author of Food and Behavior, the Natural Connection, as well as a recent mental health study on glyphosate exposure and mental health, mental health disorders have been directly linked to exposure to toxins and the lack of nutrients in the food supply. “A new study shows that these effects on mental health may be at least partially explained by the recent discovery that glyphosate is neurotoxic, affecting the brain.
Agrochemicals such as glyphosate have been proven to negatively impact the gut microbiome, which is not only the stronghold of the immune system, but is also where Serotonin and Melatonin are localized – important hormones that influence mood, sleep, and risks of developing depression, violent and obsessive behavior, as well as suicidal and homicidal thoughts and actions.
In Stitt’s twenty-year study of inmates: parolees, criminals, and serial killers, she discovered that they all had one thing in common. It was not their socio-economic background or race. It was not whether they were black or white, rich or poor – the one thing they all had in common is that they “all bragged that they lived on junk food.” In addition, they were deficient in important Vitamins, specifically Vitamin B, which is essential for the processing function of the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain that is utilized in good decision-making.
When Stitt removed processed junk food from their diet and they were given whole foods, the recidivism rate reversed. Instead of 70% of the inmates returning to prison, 70% stayed out of prison.
Glyphosate and toxic agrochemicals used in industrial farming are severely impactful to gut health, mood, and behavior. In addition to causing liver disease and nervous system damage, neurotoxic, carcinogenic glyphosate acts as a chelator, an antibiotic, and an endocrine disruptor. These three functions directly impact gut health and mental health. Chelation means that glyphosate holds and makes unavailable any vital nutrient in the thing it touches (such as a plant or soil). The withholding of such nutrients, such as Vitamin B, can directly lead to dysfunction and debilitation of body organs. Antibiotics disturb gut health. Glyphosate has been shown to target beneficial gut bacteria and allow for the proliferation of pathogenic gut bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella. Overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria in the gut can lead to lower levels of hormones that regulate a person’s ability to feel content and satiated or to sleep properly. Lower serotonin and lack of sleep lead to increased addictive behavior, obsession, depression, and mood swings. These things can eventually lead to violent behavior. In many cases, they lead to psychiatric care, which often includes the prescription of psychotropic antidepressant medications. Antidepressants have been connected to suicidal and homicidal ideation and increased suicide rates. Many articles assert that every or most mass shooters were, at one point, administered antidepressants.
Another example of food’s connection to behavior comes from a disturbing animal study. As featured in the Smithsonian magazine, a study out of the University of Strausberg, Germany revealed that a declining population of hamsters (an important food source for the ecosystem) that lived in a monocrops cornfield were cannibalistic. The mothers were eating their young on the first day of life. The soil in the field was also like sand, deficient in organic matter, as industrial, chemical farming commonly produces. Modern farming practices have changed the available food sources and soil quality. The lead scientist, Mathilde Tissier, soon learned that the corn, the hamsters’ food source, was the problem: “Corn binds vitamin B3, or niacin, so that the body cannot absorb it during digestion.” When she administered Vitamin B 3 to the hamsters, the cannibalism stopped. One change, one vitamin, completely stopped the violent behavior.
Another study from 2015, led by George Matapandeu, a health worker in rural Malawi, showed hundreds of patients with diarrhea and symmetrical rashes. “In Malawi, I would say 70 percent of the time somebody says ‘I’ve consumed food,’ they mean corn,” Matapandeu says. After consulting with doctors in the United States, he started handing out vitamin B3 supplements. Within a few weeks, the rashes and other symptoms had disappeared.
Moms Across America asserts that a diverse diet is important, as are the chemicals in the food consumed. This Malawi study was during a time when the practice of spraying glyphosate on corn crops as a drying agent (whether they were GMO corn or non-GMO corn) dominated the market. As previously mentioned, glyphosate is a chelator of vitamins and minerals essential to brain development. For GMO crops, glyphosate is sprayed on the entire corn crop (the weeds die), and the corn can continue to grow. For non-GMO corn, glyphosate is often sprayed as a drying agent. Either way, glyphosate residues are being consumed from most corn consumption. These agrochemically-grown mono-crops are patented and significantly different from heirloom corn; which are not genetically altered and toxic chemicals are not utilized. They are also grown in rotation or alongside other crops such as peas, beans, and legumes, in nutrient-dense (non-sprayed) soil. Many cultures have been on a predominantly corn diet for thousands of years. The problem is not just the lack of diversity and the corn, as the Smithsonian article claims, but what is being done to the corn.
According to the EPA, Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world, 280 million pounds are sprayed on food and animal feed crops every year. Glyphosate has been shown by Monika Kruger et al. to accumulate in animal tissues, and bone tendons and be present in thousands of grocery store food samples. A study by Paul J Mills et al showed higher levels of glyphosate in humans to be linked to higher levels of chronic disease.
Agrochemicals such as glyphosate have also been proven to negatively impact the gut microbiome, which is the stronghold of not only the immune system, but is where Serotonin and Melatonin are localized, important hormones that influence mood, sleep, and risks of developing depression, violent and obsessive behavior, suicidal and homicidal thoughts and actions.
Moms Across America and our supporters are particularly focused in this study on the presence of toxins and lack of nutrients necessary to support mental health. School shootings and the increase in violence in America devastate our communities. Mental health issues are on the rise, and many decade-old studies have shown a link between our food and violent behavior. According to a paper published in the European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences by Kleinman et al. (1998) the study reveals that malnourished and hungry children are 7 to 12 times more likely to exhibit symptoms of conduct disorders than not-hungry or nutrition-balanced children. Malnourished children also tend to exhibit higher levels of irritability, aggression, and externalizing behavioral problems than their low-income, low-SES, but not-hungry peers (Halas et al., 1975; Mora, 1979; Gray, 1986).
It is not enough to simply focus on hunger however, it is time for public health officials to learn about and take action regarding the connection between American food and the violent behavior of Americans.
The Fast Food Testing program consisted of testing 42 fast food samples from 21 restaurants, the top twenty restaurants as listed by industry *QSR 50 ( highest sales).. The board of Moms Across America, primarily based in California, also insisted that In-N-Out, actually 33rd in sales on the fast food chain list, also be included due to the frequent claims that the chain is a “healthier” version of fast food.
Two types of samples, three to four meals of each type, were sent by FedEx from 21 locations across the United States in their original packaging, untouched and frozen, to the laboratory for testing. The primary lab, Health Research Institute, coordinated the testing, which was conducted using triple-quadrupole mass spectroscopy (glyphosate, pesticides, veterinary drugs, PFAS, phthalates) and several other methods.
A summary of the test results is listed below. The full reports are linked in each section.
The following results are for the glyphosate and pesticide portion of the testing program.
Glyphosate
Chipotle was one of the first fast food restaurants to advertise non-GMO and organic ingredients.
Moms Across America is concerned about the risk of consuming fast food a little less than once a week, only 42 times a year, as even this infrequency may be a significant contributing factor to the rise of liver disease and organ damage in America. Even more concerning is children eating school lunch provided by fast food companies on a daily basis.
Full lab report of glyphosate and AMPA
MIT Senior Scientist and author of Toxic Legacy How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment, Stephanie Seneff PhD. reviewed the results and stated:
“It is highly disturbing that it takes action from an advocacy group operating on a shoestring budget to establish quantitative data that glyphosate is pervasive, often at alarmingly high levels, in foods commonly sold at fast food restaurants around the country. Many Americans rely on fast foods as a significant part of their diet. It is no wonder why so many Americans are obese, and the autism rates are so high.” – Stephanie Seneff Ph.D.
Author of What’s Making our Children Sick, Pediatrician of 40 years, author of a new article titled “The State of Our Children’s Health,” and host of The New MDS, Dr. Michelle Perro stated regarding the results:
“The top of our list of analytes is the herbicide glyphosate, and its breakdown product AMPA. Unfortunately, the news is not good, and the amounts of glyphosate/AMPA in the most common fast foods are shocking. This is a national health catastrophe, with glyphosate leading the charge of the daily poisoning of American citizens. The health impacts from the chronic ingestion of glyphosate, even in low amounts, include neurologic disorders (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.), asthma/allergies, metabolic disruption, and immune dysfunction (including cancer). The sobering news gets worse. Not only was glyphosate found in all of the fast food samples submitted, but a host of other toxic pesticides and pharmaceuticals were discovered. In essence, our children and their families are consuming a toxic time bomb daily without any oversight or accountability. “
Summary
Full lab report of pesticide results
Lab report of summary
The top twenty fast food brands (plus In-N-Out), were tested for 236 pesticides in addition to glyphosate herbicide. Twenty-seven pesticides were detected in 28 samples. In other words, 61% of the 42 fast food samples were positive for trace or quantifiable amounts of harmful pesticides. As many as nine different pesticides were found in several of the samples. Some of the side effects from these pesticides include lower appetite, unsteady balance, watery eyes, irritable behavior, coma, and death (at high doses, long term, in animals), gut microbiota dysbiosis and metabolic disorders.
Gut dysbiosis and metabolic disorders can lead to autoimmune issues, weakened immune systems, disturbed sleep, mood, behavior, learning, and organ function.
A full list of toxicity ( high dose and immediate) side effects from these 27 pesticides, plus glyphosate, can be found here. While this list cannot be directly linked to human health effects, due to the lack of studies of pesticides on humans, ( according to the EPA it is “not ethical to allow pesticide testing ON human subjects”, and we agree with that, but then why are pesticides allowed in our food, to consumed by humans on a daily basis? How is that ethical?) this list does show reasons for significant concern. While the amounts of pesticides are low, no one can predict or ascertain what the levels are in any person over a long period of time, and on a daily or weekly basis. In addition, no synergistic studies have been done on the combination of up to 9 different pesticides, plus the herbicide glyphosate, in our food.
The brands with the highest levels of pesticides were pizza brands:
Domino’s Pizza contained a total of 6 different pesticides. Of these, 36.57 ppb came from the wheat crust pizza and 5.05 ppb from the gluten-free pizza. This data suggests that gluten-free pizza products may contain less glyphosate. Glyphosate has been detected in other gluten-free products, however, likely due to the high amounts of nonorganic soy, corn, beans and peas often used in gluten-free products (that are sprayed with glyphosate as a drying agent). So, further testing is required.
Pizza Hut’s vegetable-topped wheat crust samples contained 21.50 ppb of 8 different pesticides. The cheese pizza with wheat crust contained only trace, undetectable amounts of pesticides. This data supports the findings from the Heartland Health Research Alliance that show that vegetables grown non-organically are responsible for the majority (98%) of pesticide consumption in America. These results are disturbing because the general public usually assumes vegetables are more healthy.
The only brands that showed no detectable levels, not even trace levels of pesticides, were Dunkin’ Donuts, Burger King, Wendy’s and Arby’s. All of the other brands, or 90% of the brands, had trace to alarming detectable levels of toxic pesticides. It should be noted, however that some of these brands, specifically Dunkin’ Donuts and Arby’s did have some of the highest levels of glyphosate residues.
The brands that claim to be “healthier” versions of fast food had the following levels:
Panera had one sample with trace, but not quantifiable levels, of 1 harmful pesticide. In-N-Out had 10.16 ppb of 3 different pesticides. Chipotle had a total from both samples of 22.83 ppb of 11 different pesticides.
This data shows us that the brand with the highest level of glyphosate, Panera Bread, had one of the lowest levels of other pesticides (one sample with trace, undetectable levels, and the other sample without even trace levels), and the brand with the lowest level of glyphosate, Chipotle, had concerning levels of other pesticides. This may, perhaps, mean that some farmers that use glyphosate tend not to use other pesticides, and those that do not use glyphosate will use other pesticides.
This enforces Moms Across America’s position that ALL toxic chemicals used in agrochemical farming must be discontinued. Reverting to using other chemicals will not reduce exposure to toxins for the American public or the poisoning of our soil.
The reduction of exposure to pesticides can be accomplished by reverting to regenerative organic or biodynamic farming, which do not use agrochemicals. It should be noted that some certifications or companies, such as Monsanto, are using the words “regenerative agriculture” to promote cover cropping and allowing fields to remain fallow, but they may still promote spraying with agrochemicals to “burn” down the cover crops, therefore polluting the soil. These chemicals, while they may not be sprayed directly on the crop, can remain in the soil and be taken up into crops when planted.
Moms Across America strongly urges our regulatory agencies to have the political will to do what is best for the future of our country, not what is best for the chemical corporations. Revoking the license for glyphosate as a drying agent is an obvious first step and will be highly effective in dramatically reducing the human population’s exposure to glyphosate.
However, any use of glyphosate and any toxic agrochemicals on our food supply is simply unsafe and detrimental to our society, our health, and our future. Supporting the transition to regenerative organic agriculture and supporting local farms, farm-to-school programs, school garden programs, backyard gardens, and community gardens is the only way to ensure access to local, healthy, nontoxic, nutrient-dense safe food.

The Saint Louis Zoo has announced the passing of one of its most cherished residents, a western lowland gorilla named Little Joe, who died from a heart attack late Saturday night.
According to the Zoo, Little Joe was 26 years old and had been under treatment for heart disease prior to his passing. The Zoo believes he died peacefully in his sleep, based on video monitoring.
The zoo broke the news on social media:
“It is with incredible sadness that we share news that western lowland gorilla Little Joe, who had been under treatment for heart disease, passed away of a heart attack overnight on May 4th. Based on video monitoring, it appears he died in his sleep.
Joe, 26, came to the Saint Louis Zoo in November 2005. He was loved by the primate staff and grabbed the heart of all those who saw or met him, frequently hanging out near guest viewing areas to people watch. Joe has been an integral part of the Zoo’s bachelor gorilla group since he arrived, most recently getting to know juvenile males Kayin and Zachary as they settled into their new home, as well as hanging out with his long-time gorilla buddy, Bakari.
Joe’s wonderful personality and lovable grumpy face endeared him to all who worked with him. He will be greatly missed.”

Little Joe’s passing comes after the Saint Louis Zoo’s initiative, announced in 2021, to vaccinate animals against COVID-19, focusing on those with the highest risk of contracting the virus.
The Zoo explained their vaccination efforts in a statement:
Over the next few months, the Zoo plans to administer the two-dose COVID-19 vaccine in a staged roll-out to almost 100 primates, big cats, river otters, painted dogs and bat-eared foxes, all of which carry a potential risk of being infected by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. Doses are given three weeks apart and full vaccination is reached two weeks after the second dose.
“Preventive health is most of what we do here,” said Sathya Chinnadurai, DVM, Director of Animal Health, Saint Louis Zoo. “We really believe in keeping our animals healthy, not just treating them when they are sick. Vaccines are nothing new for us. As with every vaccine we administer, we first determine risk of exposure, risk of illness from the disease and potential vaccine side-effects. With cases of coronavirus infection coming up in zoos around the country, we are lucky to be able to give this vaccine to our at-risk patients.”
The COVID-19 vaccine used at the Zoo was provided by Zoetis, a global animal health company, which donated 11,000 experimental doses to various zoos and animal organizations nationwide, including Saint Louis Zoo.
“Zoetis, a global animal health company headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and the distributor of the vaccine, has donated 11,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to dozens of zoos, including the Saint Louis Zoo, and animal organizations across the nation.
Experimental use of this COVID-19 vaccine from Zoetis is authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Missouri State Veterinarian.”

According to a RAIR report by Amy Mek out this past Saturday, Muslim migrants from the Indian state of Bihar were caught “red-handed” burning down large swathes of forestland in the state of Uttarakhand, all as an act of jihad. Mek also iterated that the damage done to the environment has been a “severe blow” to the region, “consuming thousands of trees” and causing the “destruction of over a thousands hectares of forest land” which is roughly equivalent to 2,800 acres.
Now Uttarakhand is very biodiverse, and is the home to many “rare or threatened” plant species and a number of “highly endangered” animal species (e.g. Asian elephant, snow leopard, tiger, King cobra, Himalayan monal, etc.), and one can only imagine how many different flora and fauna species perished in the flames and smoke.
Here’s a bit of the damage:

(What is it with people recording themselves while in commission of a crime? First it was Hunter Biden, now it’s these dopes.)
Yet I haven’t heard a peep from the progressive left on these willful acts of destruction; why?
Now to be fair, leftists themselves often resort to arson to make their point, and we see this all the time—they too light forests on fire, to “prove” that “climate change” is real. Perhaps the leftists saw this and thought it would fuel the hysteria and advance their agenda—but I don’t think so.
To me, it obviously comes down to this: when you’re embracing conflicting interests (“Queers for Palestine”), which basically sums up the collective left because they’re suffering from a superiority complex and they’re not thinking for themselves, the terrorist interest always triumphs.
They’re against the patriarchy…until a designated terrorist group launches an attack against civilians and raping all the way because, free Palestine or something.
They’re friends of the gays…until practitioners of Sharia law toss them from rooftops, or crucify them in the public square.
They love the environment…until Muslim arsonists burn down thousands of acres of forest, killing who knows how many endangered species in the process, because they’re virtuously “tolerant”and accepting.
They’re “for the children” (Nancy Pelosi’s go-to guilt trip line)…until cross-dressing pedophiles embed themselves in elementary schools and kid’s museums because, “visibility” and “acceptance.”
They champion the cause of the common man, being exploited by a powerful overlord…until that common man is an American citizen and that powerful overlord is a tyrannical and thieving federal government.
They’re against the death penalty…unless the person slated for execution is a baby in the womb.
They stand against the oil companies…by utterly destroying priceless works of art on display.
Because, when it really comes down to it, they’re not beholden to virtue, morality, or progressivism, but terrorism, wickedness, and death—plain and simple.

An international jewel thief, wanted by Interpol for theft in South Korea, was reportedly released into the United States last year after arriving at the southern border near San Diego, California. Now, he has been arrested in Nassau County, New York, for allegedly stealing more than $300,000 worth of jewels from Tiffany & Co. and Cartier.
Yaorong Wan, 49 years old, first arrived to the U.S. via the southern border near San Diego in December of last year, according to Long Island News 12. After claiming asylum, Wan was released into the U.S. interior.
Wan had an Interpol “Red Notice” when he arrived at the border for allegedly stealing $332,000 in jewelry in Seoul, South Korea, in Sept. 2018. Red Notices alert law enforcement around the world about various wanted fugitives who are on the run.
Wan eventually made his way to New York City where, on March 4, he entered the Tiffany & Co. store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and inquired about several pieces of jewelry.
At one point, Wan was allowed to hold a diamond ring worth roughly $255,000. Wan allegedly replaced the ring with a fake one and handed the fake back to the Tiffany & Co. employee before leaving the store without purchasing anything.
Tiffany & Co. did not notice the ring had been stolen until March 11.
Then, on March 12, Wan walked into the Cartier store at 20 Hudson Yards in Manhattan. After inquiring about two engagement rings and two watches, according to police, Wan was allowed to hold the two rings and allegedly only returned one while taking the other without purchasing it.
That Cartier ring is valued at $25,000.
Then, last month, Wan walked into London Jewelers in Long Island and allegedly stole a Chopard watch valued at $17,000.
Following the thefts, the Nassau County Police Department arrested Wan who has since pleaded not guilty to the grand larceny charges against him. Wan is also wanted in California and Florida for similar jewel heists.

A progressive group founded by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cut a large check recently to a climate change activist hub financing organizations behind disruptive anti-oil protests, bringing the total cash transfers to at least $500,000, records show.
Onward Together, which Clinton launched after losing the 2016 election, says it’s “committed to lifting up emerging organizations and leaders who are fighting for our shared progressive values and defending our democracy.” That pledge apparently includes funding Climate Emergency Fund, a charity backing groups leading demonstrations to bring awareness to climate change by vandalizing fine art, blocking major roads, gluing themselves to sports cars, and engaging in other extremist forms of protest.
Between April 2022 and March 2023, the nonprofit advocacy arm of Onward Together granted $200,000 to Climate Emergency Fund, according to Onward Together’s tax forms filed in 2024.
CEF, which during the preceding fiscal year received $300,000 from the Clinton-tied group, is based in Beverly Hills and props up activists at groups like Just Stop Oil that, in 2022, splattered tomato soup on a Vincent Van Gogh painting at London’s National Gallery estimated to be worth $84 million. In March 2024, activists for Declare Emergency, which along with Just Stop Oil is part of a coalition primarily funded by CEF called A22 Network, were charged with vandalizing the display of the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives.
Moreover, CEF funds the Washington, D.C.-based Climate Defiance, the activists of which have also been arrested for unorthodox protests. This upcoming Tuesday, Climate Defiance will host an event in the district for its one-year “birthday” alongside progressive Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), according to an event invitation.
“Anyone who cares about public safety and preventing vandalism should be deeply concerned that money connected to Hillary Clinton is propping up these radicalized eco activists,” said Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of the Power the Future energy advocacy group.Hillary Clinton attends the Suffs Broadway opening night performance at the Music Box Theatre on Thursday, April 18, 2024, in New York. (Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP)
The $200,000 grant to CEF was one of seven grants that Onward Together disbursed in its most recent fiscal year, along with support to the affiliated Onward Together charity, left-wing Voter Participation Center, NextGen America founded by billionaire climate investor Tom Steyer, and others.
However, the grant to CEF was by far Onward Together’s largest — with others ranging between $25,000 and $50,000.
“Congress would be wise to immediately investigate the shady origins and dastardly flow of this tainted Clinton cash,” Turner told the Washington Examiner.
Onward Together is hardly alone in funding CEF, which receives donations from Rory Kennedy, daughter of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, Hollywood producer Adam McKay, actor Jeremy Strong, and Abigail Disney, daughter of ex-Disney executive Roy E. Disney, among others, the Washington Examiner reported.
Onward Together has an affiliated political action committee that backs congressional Democrats, Federal Election Commission filings show. According to filings, a PAC affiliated with “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) directed $9,000 to CEF in 2021.
Meanwhile, another key funder to CEF is billionaire philanthropist Aileen Getty, who can thank Big Oil for making her donations possible.
She’s an heiress to the Getty family’s petroleum industry fortune.
Climate Emergency Fund and Onward Together did not reply to requests for comment.
Former Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation scientist and vaccine expert Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche has warned that populations around the world will soon experience a “completely unprecedented” plunge.
Bossche predicts that the death toll will be “up to 30-40% in highly vaccinated countries.”
The top scientists raised the alarm during an interview with vaccine expert and investigator Steve Kirsch.

See what the buzz is all about.
There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "...truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity--it is simply true and that is the end of it" - Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
