SAN DIEGO, CA — The California Attorney General's Office issued a consumer alert Friday related to dried plum fruit and candy products that allegedly contain dangerous levels of lead, including several products sold by San Diego retailers. California Attorney General Rob Bonta's office said it has sent letters directing retailers to immediately remove the products from shelves, many of which appear to be marketed to children. The AG's Office says testing revealed many of the products contained lead levels that "far exceed"

You didn't think it was gonna be See's Candy, did you? So much for the Bidenites' plan to regulate every drop of food you eat.

"Dose makes the poison". So - exactly what amounts of lead? They say "far in excess of 0.5 micrograms/day". OK, maybe this is real. Maybe eating one candy bar is bad news. But did they assume eating 1 or 25 candy bars a day as their dose? At this point, having been lied to continuously by "health experts" for two years, I am predisposed to assume that they are lying for some political gain until proven otherwise. The REAL question is: Does the level of a toxin ingested over time reach the threshold of dose that causes harm? Too many "health care" liars out there for me to assume that this is real and just "take their word for it". What is "far in excess" of 0.5 micrograms? 0.7 micrograms a day? Or 1,000 micrograms a day? How many candy bars must be eaten to get that dose? One or forty? If a small child eats one candy bar - what will their blood lead level be? Will it be in the safe range for children, which is much lower than the safe range for adults? 0.5 micrograms of lead is 0.5 millionths of a gram. About two ounces is a fairly normal candy bar, about 57 grams. So, 0.5 micrograms of lead in 57 grams is about 8-9 parts of lead per billion in a 2 ounce candy bar. I'm starting to smell a rat. A political rat. Almost nothing is actually harmful at the parts per billion levels (ppb). Lead is a common "boogy man" for those seeking political gains from Fake News. EPA "Safe levels" of lots of materials have been dramatically lowered (like 100 or 1,000 times lower) in recent decades - mostly because the detection technology is better and it makes more work and control for EPA - NOT because the old "safe levels" were proven unsafe. The idea that "food and water must be pure"..... a very good goal, but to WHAT level of purity and at WHAT cost? Absolutely NOTHING is "pure" if you look hard enough with good enough instruments. Is one atom of lead in a ton of candy unsafe?

Sorry for the 2nd post, but I'm 79 years old and I'm wondering if all the lead painted pencils and cribs I chewed on as a child, is getting close to my maximum allowable level? Of course, even if it were to kill me, I'd still die from covid!

Let me guess. The candy came from China. Years ago, a hospital had to throw out all of its little tube of toothpaste given to patients, because they found that the toothpaste was loaded with lead. That toothpaste came from China.

Just don't try to eat the lead paint chips off the window sill. /s Having done remodels in historic neighborhoods, we were required to abate all windows ( or anything friggin' painted) in a non- permeable tarpoline and transported to a governmental approved collection site for "disposal". There is a test kit for you to determine the lead in paint that is over a hundred years old. If your test turns pink, it's time to go underground and get rid of the debris in as inconspicuously as possible. And to cite U.B.C. and I.R.C. (Universal Building Code and International Residential Code) " No solders or flux which contain more than 6% ( might be 10 %) lead shall not be used in the plumbing supplying potable water to any residence." That was code 30 years ago. We've come a long way in the hysteria politics. If there's no big problem, bureaucrats create one or take a regulation to the next level to attain job security. The LEEDS program was foist upon architects to make them conform to green building specs. It was like the Oscars for Dweebs. You could get your building certified as a Silver, Gold, or Platinum project based upon how well you were able to blow smoke up a client's pantsleg and how gullible the client was with the money required to achieve the metallic ring of desire. I digress, far too many die of lead injection than from lead ingestion.

TIJUANA, Mexico — About a hundred members of the police, National Guard and army on Sunday evicted 381 migrants, mainly Central Americans and Mexicans, from a makeshift camp they had been staying in for almost a year in Tijuana at the U.S. border crossing. The migrants’ tents around El Chaparral crossing were demolished with the help of excavators and trucks while their inhabitants loaded their few belongings into bags and suitcases to be transferred to three local shelters. “It was a relocation that had to be carried out carefully to avoid a collapse,” Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramírez told reporters, saying the families were living in a state of “insecurity”

A woman fell to her death Sunday afternoon from the Royal Park Bridge connecting Palm Beach to downtown West Palm Beach when the drawbridge began opening before she could move off its moveable span, police said. West Palm Beach police say the woman was walking off the bridge with a bicycle and was within 10 feet of the barrier arms that halt traffic when the drawbridge started to rise, sending her careening into an open chasm. A man standing on the other side of the barrier arms grabbed her as she fell but could not sustain her grip, police said. She plummeted more than 50 feet.

Germany, as we well know with its Russian gas capers, is a highly industrialized society in need of a lot of energy. Fine and dandy. But how they get it presents increasingly bad options. They got rid of their nuclear power in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown after a big earthquake in Japan, (despite Germany not being in a quake zone), driving themselves to dependency on foreign suppliers. That's presented problems for them what with Russia filling that role, so their other recourse has been the one Joe Biden is touting for America: Green energy -- like wind and solar power. It's costly, requiring state subsidization,

In public statements, Biden administration officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, claimed that only 100-150 Americans remained in Afghanistan and had contacted the U.S. government with a desire to leave.
