I recently had the privilege of taking an up close look at a very strange‚ but very cool‚ Game Boy Color Prototype Development board called the CGB-STB-X2.  We know it’s a prototype due to the “X” designation in it’s code name (CGB-STB- “X” 2) as this is the nomenclature that Nintendo uses internally to designate […]

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology giant Bayer AG was ordered to pay $2.25 billion to a Pennsylvania man who developed cancer from its Monsanto subsidiary’s Roundup weed killer. John McKivision reportedly developed non-Hodgkins lymphoma from using Roundup for several years. Jurors in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas found that the weed killer caused the 49-year-old landscaper’s cancer. Bayer ordered to pay $2.25 billion in latest Roundup trial https://t.co/IBdVYPA7Fo pic.twitter.com/CXqAY4UNRD — Reuters (@Reuters) January 26‚ 2024 The verdict includes $250 million in compensatory damages and $2 billion in punitive damages. According to Bloomberg Law‚ the $2.25 billion verdict is the largest in litigation over Roundup. More from Bloomberg Law: Monsanto has won 10 of 16 Roundup trials recently‚ but the cases it has lost include a $1.5 billion verdict in Missouri handed down in November to three ex-users of the herbicide. The Bayer unit faces its next trial early next month in state court in Delaware. The German conglomerate remains under intense pressure from the massive liability it inherited with its $63 billion acquisition of St. Louis-based Monsanto in 2018. Bloomberg News reported Jan. 18 that company leaders were leaning against breakup options including separating its consumer-health and crops-science divisions in spite of investor frustration over Monsanto. “We disagree with the jury’s adverse verdict that conflicts with the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence and worldwide regulatory and scientific assessments‚ and believe that we have strong arguments on appeal to get this verdict overturned and the unconstitutionally excessive damage award eliminated or reduced‚” Bayer said in an emailed statement. In 2019‚ a California jury awarded a combined $2.055 billion in damages to a husband and wife who claimed they got cancer from using the weedkiller for 30 years. That award later was cut to $87 million and allowed to stand by the US Supreme Court. Bayer was ordered to pay $2.25 billion to a Pennsylvania man who said he developed cancer from exposure to the company's Roundup weedkiller‚ the man's attorneys said https://t.co/tSTmvlo0XB pic.twitter.com/MPEv8Yg3CK — Reuters (@Reuters) January 26‚ 2024 With around 165‚000 reported claims in the United States against Bayer regarding the weed killer‚ the company’s legal battles are far from over. Most plaintiffs reportedly allege Roundup caused them to develop non-Hodgkins lymphoma. From Reuters: Bayer has said that decades of studies have shown Roundup and its active ingredient‚ glyphosate‚ are safe for human use. Roundup is among the most widely used weedkillers in the United States‚ though the company phased out its sales for home use last year. In 2020‚ Bayer settled most of the then-pending Roundup cases for up to $9.6 billion but failed to get a settlement covering future cases. More than 50‚000 claims remain pending. Last year’s string of losses produced verdicts against the company totaling more than $2 billion. Bayer is appealing those verdicts‚ which include large punitive damages awards that are likely to be reduced because they exceed U.S. Supreme Court guidance. The losses had led some investors to question Bayer’s legal strategy in defending the Roundup cases. The company said in November that it would continue fighting the cases in court and had “no appetite to write humongous checks” to settle them. The company had even considered a plan to break off its crop science business‚ in part due to concerns about Roundup liability‚ though it said earlier this month that it was putting those plans aside for now and focusing on internal reorganization.

For years now we’ve been told that Joe Biden was a ‘return to normalcy.’ The media and the anti-Trump voters tried to tell us that Joe Biden was a man we could all take seriously. Flash forward to the last year of Biden’s first term‚ and it’s clear to anyone paying attention that Biden is barely capable of having a coherent thought‚ let alone completing a coherent sentence. Joe did say something recently that proves that somewhere deep within his cerebral cortex‚ he might have the slightest clue of what’s going on around him. During a speech in South Carolina‚ Biden referred to Donald J. Trump as the “sitting president.” In typical Biden fashion‚ he made the mistake while also trying to insult Trump: “Did you see what he recently said about- he want’s to‚ he wants to see the economy crash this year? A Sitting President.” Bumbling Joe Biden says Donald Trump is the 'SITTING President' https://t.co/bu6quO7J31 — Wendy Kortepeter (@WKortepeter) January 28‚ 2024 Daily Mail reported on Biden’s latest blunder: Bumbling Joe Biden said Donald Trump is the ‘sitting President’ as the confused 81-year-old stumbled through an economic speech in South Carolina over the weekend. The President tried to shore up support for another term as he tore into the former president during a dinner on Saturday that celebrated the state and its large base of black voters. Along with bashing Trump about his view on the US economy‚ Biden also said his Republican rival failed to support the rights of black citizens was a threat to democracy. ‘The American consumers are facing real confidence in the economy we’re building. Let me tell you who else is noticing that- Donald Trump‚’ Biden said in his speech. The President then started to fumble his words as he tried to collect his thoughts and said: ‘Did you see what he recently said about- he want’s to‚ he wants to see the economy crash this year? A Sitting President.’ Even Joe Biden can occasionally have a moment of clarity I guess: US Servicemen getting killed‚ the country &; the world in utter meltdown and this corrupt‚ demented clown can’t form a sentence &; refers to Trump as “the sitting president.” No‚ man – if Trump were President WE WOULDN’T BE IN THIS NIGHTMARE!pic.twitter.com/rI4EzZTbkY — Monica Crowley (@MonicaCrowley) January 28‚ 2024 Biden Calls Trump “Sitting President” During Speech (VIDEO) via @gatewaypundit https://t.co/WcL6VKSTEl — The Gateway Pundit (@gatewaypundit) January 28‚ 2024 What does everyone think about this? Is this just another Biden senior moment? Alternatively‚ has Biden even really been president at all this entire time?.. Did Biden just call Trump the "Sitting President"? Some people question who the actual president is. Some say Trump is STILL the President but allowing the Biden Administration (and others) to be exposed. Is that what is going on?
