Burger King hot on the trail of cow farts..




https://thetakeout.com/burger-kings-new-whopper-reduces-cow-farts-emissions-1844379106

The reason this video exists: Burger King—a company that is literally founded on the belief that beef is good—has announced an initiative to address the environmental impact of its most important commodity. The brand has, according to a press release, “partnered with top scientists to develop and test a new diet for cows, which according to initial study results, on average reduces up to 33% of cows’ daily methane emissions.”

I keep seeing crap about Wayfair trafficking kids in their cupboards...

This is more insane than Hillary's imaginary pizza basement.

What I do believe is a basement full of Russian trolls injuring themselves rolling on the floor laughing at how stupid we are.

What's next?

Ghana's dancing pallbearers!

I've always thought that funerals are far too dreary. I understand that death is a terrible thing and grief and sorrow is a given, but seems to me that a funeral should be more like a bon voyage party for the dear departed.

When I was a little kid, I ended up at too many sobbing funerals, including my father's, but when old man O'Connor next door died, the coffin was in the living room with empty beer cans piled up on it. His funeral was a hell of a party. Woke me up.

New Orleans was of two minds about the jazz funeral, but the thought of my coffin being carried by a bunch of musicians doing a two-step is somewhat comforting. After all, we've been coming up with all sorts of stories about the afterlife, so why not celebrate our passing? (Or maybe no one really believes that afterlife stuff?)

Anyway, these Africans have got it down.

More mask shit...

https://riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com/2020/07/101275/cops-riverhead-man-punched-woman-who-confronted-him-for-not-wearing-mask-on-bus/


A Riverhead man who refused to wear a protective mask while riding a Suffolk County transit bus allegedly punched a woman after they got into a verbal altercation, according to Southampton Town police.

The altercation occurred at approximately 9:45 a.m. Thursday at the Peconic Avenue traffic circle.

Police identified the man as Ernest Ryshaun Clay, 43. He was arrested and charged with third-degree assault, police said.

The 46-year-old victim was treated at the scene for a laceration to the head by the Flanders Volunteer Ambulance.

Police said the victim was riding the bus when she asked Mr. Clay to put on a protective mask, as is required by an executive order from the governor. Police said they got into a verbal altercation and when both exited the bus, Mr. Clay punched her.

Mr. Clay was transported to Southampton Town police headquarters to be processed on the misdemeanor assault charge.


Nothing more at link.

Would it be possible for President Biden to approve the investigation of...

these campaign trips and bill the campaign for expenses?

And bill Trump directly for federal money spent at his properties?
