Fish off the coast of Florida are testing positive for a slew of pharmaceuticals as human wastewater makes its way out into the sea.Researchers at Florida International University and the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust - a nonprofit based in Miami and focused on bonefish and tarpon conservation - studied the two types of fish found in Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys since 2018.They collected blood and tissue samples from 93 bonefish and tarpon in the area, and found that each one had an average of seven drugs in its system - including antidepressants, blood pressure medications, prostate treatment medications, antibiotics and pain relievers.

"Testing positive"......1 part per trillion?? Currently we can detect such small , miniscule traces that I am always skeptical of their "detected" BS stories. Frequently this stuff has political considerations, most excuses for more central Commie control.

"Yet there are still no environmental regulations for the disposal of the pharmaceuticals." This is inexcusable! Why the hell not? These problems have been known for years but has anyone taken steps to solve them? Can it be true that existing filtration is unable to adequately filter these substances? Hard to believe, but if true we need to design, produce and use such filtration ASAP.

Nothing about amounts and, like poster #1 said, we can detect incredibly small, that is irrelevant, amounts. And,... yes. Were the fish healthy?

I read an article a few years back that said our water supplies virtually everywhere were filled with estrogen from the birth control pills women took and passed through wastewater treatment and into the water supply. That may explain the feminization of American men. I read another article that said the water surrounding Seattle was filled with caffeine.

Why should it be surprising that what we eat/ingest and excrete ends up where sewer water goes? Or that animals which live and breathe in that waste should have man-made substances within their bodies? It is foolish to think that ANY amount in water or the flesh of fish is of no consequence - we just don't know. Now whether it is even possible or financially feasible to perfectly clean up sewage is another question - maybe an important one.

Not to worry because with the new miracle drugs for HIV soon destined for ocean waters, the fish will be undetectable. One other minor point: Tarpon and bonefish are great game fish but nowhere are they table fare. Nobody eats bonefish or tarpon. These fish are not kept; they are gently unhooked and let go.

In other words, those fish are enjoying the benefits of modern medicine! Eat more fish to fight depression and keep your blood pressure under control? Actually you can probably also detect arsenic, lead, and other dangerous substances but the important issue is whether the level is high enough to be of concern.

Supreme Court law clerks are being asked to turn over their personal cell phone records and sign affidavits as the search ramps up for the person who leaked the draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade.Language of the affidavits and what the scope of the cell phone search will be are not yet clear, sources familiar with the efforts told CNN – but the potential of handing over their personal devices have clerks exploring their options, including hiring outside counsel. Considering the crack down on law clerks, it's likely the court has not yet been successful in determining the source of the breach.

Washington—A federal jury on Tuesday found former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty of lying to the FBI — finding special counsel John Durham did not prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt. The verdict by a jury in heavily Democratic-leaning DC, came midway through the second day of deliberations following a two-week trial on a single count of making false statements to a federal agent. Durham’s prosecution team unsuccessfully sought to prove that Sussmann deliberately lied to then-FBI general counsel James Baker by claiming not to be acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign and an internet executive when the two met in 2016.

George Will’s recent column reviewing the first 500 days of the Biden presidency includes praise for the president’s “deft diplomacy” and “stunning achievement” in the administration’s response to Ukraine. According to Will, Biden’s diplomacy is substantially responsible for nudging Germany to play a larger geopolitical role and persuading Finland to join NATO, thus extending the alliance’s reach to more than 800 miles of Russia’s border. Biden, he writes, has revised the concept of the West, but Will writes that Biden’s achievement will not earn him political dividends because “what Americans usually want in foreign policy is as little as possible.”

Giving credit where credit is due, MSNBC’s Chuck Todd managed quite succinctly to sum up the debate on gun control, but perhaps not in the way he intended. Following the prescribed narrative of this week’s corporate media diktat, Todd began Sunday’s episode of “Meet the Press” on NBC News with an anti-Second Amendment and, more precisely, anti-conservative lament regarding the massacre in Uvalde, Texas. Where his peers had carried the weight of the Democrat Party with the standard misrepresentations of mass shooting statistics and the types of firearms responsible for most heinous crimes, Todd took aim at the culture.
