"Doesn’t matter," was the rejoinder. "Either leave the line with it or it goes into the garbage."
So now add hummus to the list of national security perils. Maybe ground broccoli will be next.
Absurdity reigns! -R
Today, the notoriously picky TSA at Bradley Airport in Connecticut confiscated a container of fresh hummus. "Hummus?! Why?" asked the traveler. "Hummus is not a mysterious liquid. It’s a nutritious popular vegetable!"

Ralph Nader (@nader.org), Dennis Kucinich, & More: The Case for Impeaching Donald Trump
Watch at youtube.com/live/tXKXx3B...
Ralph welcomes international security expert Paul Rogers to discuss the US-Israeli war on Iran. Then, Ralph speaks to constitutional law experts Bruce Fein and John Bonifaz about their upcoming impeachment symposium.
To the American people, your tax dollars at work (those are U.S. aircraft!) until you change the kneejerk Netanyahu rubber stamper members of the House and Senate in Washington. Do your duty. It’s in your own families’ self-interest. -R
The Israeli Air Force has already destroyed 1.1 million olive trees in the tiny Gaza enclave, virtually eliminating the production of olive oil for their people. A crucial cooking ingredient.
“Every Arab house we entered had olive oil. We poured the oil on the sofas, on anything flammable in the apartment, and then we ignited it or threw in a smoke grenade. This was a common practice,” one of the soldiers described.
Among other examples of Netanyahu’s genocidal savagery against Palestinian civilians, consider this description by Israeli reporter Yuval Abraham who collected testimonies from Israeli soldiers describing a myriad of arson methods:
It was the frozen accounts of the Iranian government's own money that was released by Obama as part of the nuclear accord which Trump later tore up in 2018. Let’s see if Obama speaks up to correct one of Trump’s recurrent lies. -R
Yesterday evening, fanatical Tyrant Trump related once again that President Barack Obama, as part of the nuclear accord in 2015, gave Iran $1.7 billion of taxpayer cash. False.
This grotesque assertion omitted that he is sending at least another trillion dollars of federal deficits for them to pay for this illegal war. He still refuses to tax the undertaxed giant corporations profiting from this war along with the super-rich like himself. -R
On national television last night, Tyrant Trump said he was pursuing what legal experts have considered a criminal war of aggression against Iran in the midst of negotiations for the benefit of “our children and grandchildren”.
They should have named their march “You’re Fired” and the focus should have been on the constitutional authority of Congress, foreseen by our founding fathers, as a civil way to impeach in the House and convict in the Senate to remove Trump from the White House. -R
But organizing a laser-like movement on Congress to send him back to Mar-a-Lago should have been a major objective of this many millions of people march.
So what is the benefit of the No Kings marches? Might increase the vote against Trump. You never know what personal connections are made to get civic activity underway in the local areas.
They could have raised $50-60 million in a few minutes to establish powerful impeachment groups in every Congressional district, organizing the majority of Americans who want Tyrant Trump impeached and removed from office as soon as possible.
Once again Indivisible and their prime funder Christy Walton missed a great opportunity Saturday to raise millions of dollars from peoples’ iPhones from the millions of marchers at what was obsoletely called "No Kings".
On the latest Ralph Nader Radio Hour, Ralph spoke with whistleblower, Wes Bryant—a senior policy analyst and advisor on precision warfare and civilian harm mitigation at the Pentagon’s Civilian Protection Center.
Trump has frozen illegally the highway and auto safety laws. No more fuel efficiency standards—zero—no more pollution controls on motor vehicles, and no more safety standards to save lives of the American people. Violent, lawless Tyrant Trump! Tell Congress to Impeach and Remove. A Civic Duty. -R
Tyrant Trump has insisted that his mug should be put on the new $1 bill. No other sitting president has been given this visibility. But now he’s got a problem. The dollar is declining in value in world markets. Who is he going to blame for that juxtaposition as he declines in the polls? -R
This is only the beginning. Thousands of other lawsuits are pending around the country. Where the lawmakers are dragging their feet and the regulators are stroking their chins, American civil juries are taking the lead under the common law of torts. -R
This week the law of torts for wrongful injuries has started to catch up with Silicon Valley’s corporate electronic child molesters. A $6 million verdict on behalf of a damaged teenager in a Los Angeles courtroom and a much larger $375 million verdict in the case of New Mexico v. Meta.
