Day FIVE HUNDRED NINETY of Presidential recovery.
It’s peach season in Michigan!
GREENBELT, Md. — President Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty Friday to a single count of hoarding national defense information while working in the White House, leaving the 77-year-old facing up to five years in federal prison.
Bolton, an Iran hawk and former US ambassador to the United Nations, copped to the charge during a nearly hour-long hearing in federal court just outside Washington, responding to US District Judge Theodore Chuang’s inquiry about whether he was guilty: “I am, Your Honor, and sorry for it.”
A court clerk later read the count aloud and asked Bolton, clad in a dark suit and striped tie, to formally enter his plea — which he did by saying “Guilty” in a resolute tone.
From the Asheville News & Observer
Over the weekend, finance leaders from around the world traveled to Asheville for the G20 Finance Track meeting.
G20 stands for Group of 20 and consists of 19 countries plus the African and European unions that come together annually, since 1999, to discuss global economic issues. The official G20 Summit takes place, this year, in Miami, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Asheville was selected to host finance ministers and central bank governors because it “reflects the Trump Administration’s commitment to the revitalization and resilience of western North Carolina, which continues to rebuild after the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene.”
Bringing the G20 Finance Track meeting to Asheville is expected to generate $1.5 million to $2 million in spending.
Scott Bessent and Kevin Warsh remarks:
Day FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY-NINE of Presidential recovery.
Australian scientists unveiled cyborg cockroaches fitted with cameras and miniature medical injectors to crawl through disaster rubble, find survivors and deliver lifesaving drugs.
After thousands of years of trying to kill cockroaches, humanity has finally decided to put them on payroll.
I am lactose intolerant. I LOVE dairy, so I do my best to work around it. Here is some information I found on X that may be useful to you – it is to me!
Somewhere on this list is the cheese your gut has no problem with, and it is probably not the one you were told to try.
Three separate things upset people, and they pull in opposite directions.
Lactose is the milk sugar. It leaves with the whey and gets eaten during ageing, so old cheese has none.
Casein is the protein. Most cow herds are A1. Sheep and goat are not.
Histamine is made by the bacteria while the cheese ages, so it climbs the longer it sits.
Which means the advice everybody gives, to buy the mild stuff, is right for one of those and exactly wrong for the other.
