    They despise the Europeans, but now they want to follow every European regulation like it is manna from heaven.

    But actually, not all European regulations on food are good or warranted or justified.

    It is like California regulations on labeling products. I have clients with products that need to have a “warning” label required ONLY by California for imaginary evils. Sometimes you would have to have 1000 times more content for the product to be hazardous but to sell it in CA you need to say “hazardous to expectant mothers” or some BS like that.

    The Trump Cultist will always sell our their “conservative principles” if it convenient.

    Levin, a strong supporter of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, said that Trump’s allies had made the billionaire Republican front-runner toxic.

    “As a result of what the Trump supporters have attempted here, particularly Roger Stone, I am not voting for Donald Trump. Period,” Levin said.

    Stone in recent days has threatened to make public the hotel rooms of convention delegates who switch their votes away from Trump, and is organizing protests in Cleveland in support of Trump and against any attempt to “cheat” him out of the nomination.

    “So I want to congratulate Roger Stone,” Levin said. “And if anybody has a problem with that Donald Trump, you can talk to Roger Stone. These bully dirty tricks Nixonian tactics, they’re only going to backfire. So count me as never Trump.

    “Some point you’ve got to stand up to it … I do not like bullies and I never have,” Levin said before adding that if the campaign and its associates anger him again he will try his best to get supporters to abandon him.

McFerran is the current chair of the NLRB whose term is set to expire later this month.

    In a 50 to 49 vote, Senate Republicans, joined by independent Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, blocked the nomination from advancing.

  114. I got some MAJOR breaking WV legislator (LEGISLATOR) news I am about to share on here. Hopefully I will have more details tomorrow.

    ************************************************

    The teaser is that one of the NEWLY elected R delegates from my county is now in police custody–after making credible death threats toward other local R delegates… The other delegates had been contacted by the State Police to move their families to locations other than their homes…

    There is a lot, LOT MORE to this story. (which starts in CHARLESTON where current legislators and newly elected legislators were both present for 1. monthly 3-day interim (for current legislators) meetings, and 2. newly elected legislators to caucus and vote to select the Senate President and House Speaker for the 2025 session (which will begin in Feb.).

    Teaser…

    At an event Wed. evening of a group that I am a member of–as are a number of other local county elected officials and about 1/2 of all the legislators from this area–I pulled into the parking area and noticed a police car. Unusual! I also noticed when I entered the venue there was a deputy sheriff present in the building by the door and eyeing everyone as they came in. WE had about 20-25 people there at our meeting/social gathering.

    Later, I saw two uniformed state troopers also present. We have NEVER had any police presence at our meetings (other than the sheriff of neighboring Jefferson county who is a dues paying member of our group and was also present there wed. evening as a member, not as sheriff.

    I will give you the FULL SCOOP tomorrow. But tomorrow is also my day to play bridge, so I might not be able to post it all on here until after 3 or 3:30.
