Hard to know what's true sometimes unless you've got your own testing lab.

You don't need your own private testing lab if you look at the FDA approved label and see such a weird "per serving'' figure that you just absolutely know a lawyer picked that number, not a scientist. That weird number was lawfully allowed to be rounded down to zero, hence the lawful non-fat designation.

Its things like the Red Cross being a bloated organization of over paid employees, the police ruining lives by seizing automobiles, the army being entrenched rapists that are more likely to be duplicity and "public relations". Look at Vietnam: the brass lying to the American people the whole time but only a few marine officers knowing from the start that "You lose marines taking a Strategic Hamlet, you turn it over to the South Vietnamese Army, the SVA promptly leaves this remote and dangerous area, then the marines return and start the cycle all over again." Those early marine officers said to their men directly We Are Not Going To Win This War and they said it right from the start.

Chili's refused to honor Veteran's Day meal deal for black veteran (Update: Chili's apologizes, promises to make it right)

"I was approached by an old white guy, maybe in his 70s, with a Trump Shirt, at Chili’s on Veteran’s Day yesterday. He asked if I was in the 24th unit, and I said “no the 25th”. TRICK QUESTION. He said he was in Germany, and that they did not let Blacks serve over there. He left to the back, and came back and rubbed my dog Barack, who is a service dog. I was seated and eating my food. The waitress packed the rest of my food in a to go box because I had to go pick up my wife. I got my food and tipped the waitress. Then the Manager, MR. Wesley Patrick, comes from the same area in the back, walked up, and rudly informs me that a guest said that I was not a real soldier because I had my hat on indoors. Other guests heard him. He asked for my military ID, I was calm, and provided it to him. I also provided him with my DD214 which is my discharge paperwork. At that point he should have just said “I am sorry Sir, thank you for your service’ Instead he followed up with “the guest also said your dog is not a service dog.” Barack had his Red Service Vest on, and his Certified Service Tags. I was sitting for 35 minutes prior with Barack beforehand. At this point I was grossly offended embarrassed dehumanized and started Recording…Mr. Wesley snatched my food away, made body contact"

They had been duped.

this article seems pretty grounded, says such use can be considered fat-free cooking legally if the cook sprays only for 1/3 of a second, which the author deems silly. I have to agree.

Juror number 4
"It should be known that all 12 jurors felt that this verdict was a statement regarding the various failures of the prosecution to prove 'conspiracy' in the count itself – and not any form of affirmation of the defense's various beliefs, actions or aspirations."

"Don't they know that 'not guilty' does not mean innocent? It was not lost on us that our verdict(s) might inspire future actions that are regrettable, but that sort of thinking was not permitted when considering the charges before us.''

National news keeps reporting on the woman kidnapped in California.

Tonight they said they are looking into a previous marriage and other parts of her past. That makes some sense, since up to this point they gave no hint at a motive.

Maybe her ex paid for a beat down.
