from Tucker Carlson: TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/

The luster has worn off, the shininess has faded and the honeymoon appears to be over. And Democrats can't be thrilled with that. The 2024 November general election took a sharp turn back in late July when President Joe Biden abruptly shelved his re-election bid -- most likely at the...

A Boar’s Head plant in Virginia linked to a nationwide recall of deli meat has “repeatedly violated federal regulations,” the Associated Press reports. According to newly released records from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the plant has had mold, mildew, insects, liquid dripping from ceilings, and residue on walls, floors and equipment. “Last month, Boar’s Head recalled all of the deli meats made at its plant in Jarratt, Virginia, after a listeria outbreak was blamed on products distributed from the facility,” CBS News. Mold, roaches and blood found in 'rancid' Boar's Head deli meat plant linked to deadly listeria outbreak, recall https://t.co/tETkx1LJAf pic.twitter.com/AwKpJUVtrz — Daily Mail US (@DailyMail) August 29, 2024 From the Associated Press: Government inspectors logged 69 instances of “noncompliance” with federal rules in the past year, including several in recent weeks, according to documents released through federal Freedom of Information Act requests. Inspections at the plant have been suspended and it will remain closed “until the establishment is able to demonstrate it can produce safe product,” U.S. Agriculture Department officials said in a statement Thursday. Boar’s Head officials halted production at the Jarratt, Virginia, plant in late July. The plant has been linked to the deaths of at least nine people and hospitalizations of about 50 others in 18 states. All were sickened with listeria after eating Boar’s Head Provisions Co. Inc. deli meats. The company recalled more than 7 million pounds of products last month after tests confirmed that listeria bacteria in Boar’s Head products were making people sick. U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors turned up dozens of violations at a Boar's Head plant in Virginia now linked to a nationwide recall of deli meats, according to new records — including mold, mildew and insects repeatedly found throughout the site. https://t.co/9yScQJ5dZ3 — CBS News (@CBSNews) August 28, 2024 WATCH: Nine people have died and at least 57 others have been hospitalized in a months-long listeria outbreak that originated from Boar’s Head deli meats at a plant in Virginia. Records show federal investigators discovered nearly 70 violations at the plant over the past year. pic.twitter.com/kY3EAqKNaT — CBS Mornings (@CBSMornings) August 29, 2024 Per CBS News: Beyond issues like paperwork lapses and leftover meat on equipment, the records show inspectors faulted Boar’s Head several times for mold or mildew building up around the company’s facilities in Jarratt. In July, federal inspectors found what looked to be mold and mildew around the hand washing sinks for the workers tasked with meats that are supposed to be ready to eat. Mold was also found building up outside of steel vats used by the plant, previous records show, as well as in holding coolers between the site’s smokehouses. “A black mold like substance was seen throughout the room at the wall/concrete junction. As well as some caulking around brick/metal,” they wrote in January, saying some spots were “as large as a quarter.” Other locations were found to have a number of issues with leaking or pooling water, including a puddle found to have “a green algal growth” inside and condensation that was found to be “dripping over product being held.”

Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered the blocking of SpaceX’s Starlink bank accounts in the South American country. The order follows de Moraes’ warning to Elon Musk that X would be suspended in the country if he didn’t name a legal representative for the platform within 24 hours.

Brazil’s top court didn’t comment on the report. Musk lashed out at Moraes, calling him a “criminal masquerading as a judge” in a post on X that made reference to the situation of both companies in the country. Moraes on Wednesday threatened to block X in Brazil if the social media company doesn’t appoint a legal representative in the country by Thursday night.

This shameless power grab targets Starlink, which has zero connection to X, exposing how desperate he is to maintain control. pic.twitter.com/oURQptMMlr — Dr. Simon Goddek (@goddeketal) August 29, 2024 Per G1 (translated): Last week, Moraes considered the existence of a “de facto economic group” under Musk’s command and, on August 18, ordered the freezing of all financial assets of this group in Brazil , to guarantee the payment of fines applied by the Brazilian courts against the X network. According to advisors from Minister Alexandre de Moraes' office, the other company under Elon Musk's command in the country — in addition to X — is precisely Starlink, which operates in Brazil selling satellite internet services , mainly in the North region. In a post on X, Starlink called Moraes' decisions against X "unconstitutional" and claimed that it intends to appeal in court. "This order is based on an unfounded determination that Starlink should be held liable for the fines levied — unconstitutionally — against X. It was issued in secret and without giving Starlink any of the due legal process guaranteed by the Brazilian Constitution. We intend to address the matter legally," the text reads (in free translation). "Earlier this week we received an order from Brazil’s Supreme Court Justice @alexandre de Moraes that freezes Starlink’s finances and prevents Starlink from conducting financial transactions in that country," Starlink wrote.
