It's a good thing train derailments aren't covered 24/7 because there are a whole lot of them that happen!

I was told that pedophiles in our government was a conspiracy theory yet here we are yet again.
They arrested former North Dakota State Senator, Ray Holmberg, on Monday after being accused of traveling out of the country to the Czech Republic to sleep with underage children from the years 2011 to 2016.
What makes this worse is that he was writing budgets for the Senate Appropriations Committee, so you have yet another compromised individual handling the people's money.
Are you seeing why Jeffrey Epstein was so effective?
The conspiracy theorists are continually proven right about just how corrupt our government truly has been.
Anons were right about everything.

One arrest doesn’t mean the government is full of pedophiles. Goodness you people are smooth brained.

Beyond Meat is cutting 19% of its non-production workforce after a weaker-than-expected third quarter.
The plant-based meat company said Thursday that the reduction of about 65 employees is part of a broader corporate review. The company is also considering exiting some product lines, changing pricing, shifting its manufacturing and restructuring its Chinese operations.
Beyond Meat's shares rose 20% in afternoon trading Thursday.
“We anticipated a modest return to growth in the third quarter of 2023 that did not occur,” Beyond Meat President and CEO Ethan Brown said in a statement.
U.S. demand for plant-based meat has plummeted this year. U.S. retail dollar sales of fresh meat alternatives, like sausage and burgers, were down 21.5% this year through Oct. 8, according to Circana, a market research firm. Frozen plant-based meat sales, including items like tenders and nuggets, were down 6%.
Brown has said that plant-based meat sales were hurt by high inflation, which sent some shoppers back to cheaper animal meats. Plant-based meat is also fighting perceptions that it's overly processed and unhealthy, stoked in part by ads released by rival food companies.
Beyond Meat plans to release its third-quarter earnings on Nov. 8. In the meantime, it said it expects revenue of $75 million for the July-September period. That would be 8.5% lower than the same period a year ago.
Beyond Meat also said it now expects full-year net revenue in the range of $330 million to $340 million, which would be 19% to 21% lower than the previous year. Wall Street had expected full-year sales of $365 million, according to analysts polled by FactSet.
The layoffs aren't the first for Beyond Meat. Last year, it laid off around 240 people in multiple rounds of cuts, citing pressure from inflation and intensifying competition.
The El Segundo, California, company said it saw weaker sales in U.S. retail and food service and lower-than-expected return on promotional programs. The company recently launched U.S. ads that try to counter negative perceptions.
Beyond Meat has seen a better reception for its products in Europe, where its burgers and chicken nuggets are featured on McDonald's menus. McDonald's has tested Beyond Meat's products in the U.S. but hasn't added them to its permanent menu.
GOP-led House passes Israel aid, setting up a clash with the Senate

WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House passed a bill Thursday that would provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel as it wages war against Hamas, but Democrats say it’s dead on arrival in the Senate, and President Joe Biden has vowed to veto it.
The 226-196 vote was mostly along party lines. A dozen Democrats voted with nearly all Republicans in support of the measure; just two Republicans — Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia — joined most Democrats in opposing it.
The bill, championed by newly minted Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is narrow in scope, pairing Israel aid with $14.3 billion in cuts to IRS funding that was approved through Biden’s 2022 sweeping climate, health and tax law.

The slim GOP majority got little help from Democrats, who mostly say they favor aid to Israel but voted against the bill because of the IRS cuts, decrying them as a poison pill. The IRS funding was designed to amp up enforcement and catch tax cheats, bringing in more revenue; Democrats point to a new Congressional Budget Office report that the overall measure would add nearly $27 billion to the deficit.
The House bill sets up a major clash over much-needed Israel aid with the Democratic-controlled Senate. Biden and Senate Democrats are backing a broader approach, pushing for $106 billion for both Israel and Ukraine aid and humanitarian aid for Gaza, as well as funding for U.S. border operations, in one package.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., vowed Thursday that the House bill would go nowhere in the Senate.
"I am glad that the president issued a veto threat over this stunningly unserious proposal," Schumer said in a floor speech. "The Senate will not be considering this deeply flawed proposal from the House GOP."
