The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the use of two new pesticides that contain fluorinated substances commonly referred to as "forever chemicals" because they take centuries to break down in the environment.
Ukrainian intelligence reports that Russian Army General Oleg Leontievich Makarevich, accused of overseeing the destruction of Ukraine's Nova Kakhovka dam, is now heading a military advisory mission in Venezuela. Makarevich is in charge of more than 120 troops who are training Venezuelan forces on a wide range of military functions.

The EPA also announced it is relaxing a rule mandating that companies report products containing the chemicals, and proposed further weakening limits in drinking water. For decades, forever chemicals have been used to produce countless industrial and consumer goods, even though they have been linked to cancer and birth defects for over half a century.
Failed NYS GOP gubernatorial candidate and former House Republican Lee Zeldin has zero experience in science, the environment, or chemistry. A lifelong political hack and recently retired US Army Reservist, Zeldin has been an ardent supporter of Dummkopf Trumpf for years, and hence his sinecure at EPA.

The oligarchs and superrich are impervious to inflation, COLA issues, high rents, medical bankruptcy, and debts from home ownership, cars, or schools.

The CBSA/CSIS/RCMP databases have ZERO Credible Derogatory Information (CDI) on Mr. Richard Falk, a former high official in the UN.
And these CBSA officers all have Smartphones, who doesn't? Anyone of them could have looked up the nonagenarian and see that he was a legal scholar.
Interrogating Mr. Falk for four torturous hours was spiteful Islamophobia-- and he's Jewish.
I hope Canada's Parliament or the Federal Ombudsman looks into this harassment.
