In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

This is will be the 5th forever chemical they have approved this year, and it takes thousands of years to break down. It cannot be filtered out of water with most filtration methods, and it easily moves throughout the environment via water or in the atmosphere. It is increasingly detected in humans.

Monday's Thought - I mad, are you? After stunning election victories last week, we were betrayed by 8 members of our party last night. Some retiring and shitting on the people as they leave. Other's so full of it, they don't deserve another term on office. Electing 1%ers is what leads to this.

You sound like you accepted something that I believe the British people are, and will stand against, despite our flaws. He conned the country once, he’s funded by Russia. And his pal in the White House is an adjudicated rapist, child abuser and conman.

The far-right are desperate to destroy Polanski not because they're afraid their supporters will vote Green, but because they're terrified of Greens being invited onto more talk shows where they'll expose Reform lies. (Something Labour hasn't been bothering to do for at least 9 years.)
