    13 GOP House Reps Oppose Hemp Product Ban Ahead of Vote to End Shutdown
    The House needs 217 votes to reopen the government; at least 13 of 219 GOP members oppose the intoxicating hemp language.
    Tony Lange November 12, 2025
    As the U.S. House tees up a key vote on Wednesday afternoon to end the longest federal government shutdown the nation has faced, at least 13 Republican representatives oppose language surrounding hemp.
    That number could be a pivotal roadblock to reopening the government.
    Arizona Democratic congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva is expected to be sworn in on Nov. 12, before the House votes on a Senate-passed continuing resolution to end the shutdown that began on Oct. 1. Once Adelita is sworn in, the Republican majority will be trimmed to five seats, 219-214, with two vacancies in the lower chamber.
    This means the House needs 217 votes to gain a simple majority on legislation to reopen the government: Should Republicans lose three votes within their party, then they’ll need to rely on Democrats to break party lines to end the shutdown.
    The problem? Hemp could be a deciding factor in breaking up a unified GOP vote.
    U.S. House Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., and 12 of his Republican colleagues previously spoke out in opposition to a federal ban on intoxicating hemp products that was under consideration earlier this year.

    I saw that last night and panic set in but this is hemp....not cannabis

    I realize some GOP are against this but this is just for the Delta-8 junk that gas stations sell isn't it?

    Foreign food safety inspections have hit a historic low after Trump staffing cuts. The dramatic shift in oversight comes as the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food.

    Trump admin to ban book from Yosemite National Park, says author


    A prominent Bay Area author said one of his books has been quietly flagged at Yosemite National Park as part of a March 2025 federal directive aiming to remove and revise “negative” information relating to American history.

    Naturalist and illustrator Obi Kaufmann wrote in a Facebook post this week that his 2019 book, “The State of Water: Understanding California’s Most Precious Resource,” was identified by park officials as restricted under President Donald Trump’s executive order “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” Kaufmann said the flagging means that while Yosemite bookstores will not pull copies from the shelves, they will no longer purchase new copies of his book. 

    “The State of Water” explores what has led to California’s current water crisis, “exposing a history of unlimited growth in spite of finite natural resources,” according to its publisher, Heyday Books. In the book, Kaufmann cautions against further developing California’s waterways, highlighting that conserving and restoring the ecosystem is not only a moral issue but a matter of survival. 

    Kaufmann’s focus on ecological decline and water exploitation may explain why the book’s been targeted, Jonathan Rosenfield, science director at San Francisco Baykeeper, told SFGATE.

    Are news directors telling their own reporters not to ask these ?’s because if I’m a reporter I would ask that question everyday! When will your administration roll out the healthcare plan you have been promising for 10+ years or am I delusional?

    Well, this might explain everything. Anyone do a DNA check on CCOOTWH? Might explain a lot, including the comparison to Herr Hitler.

    Researchers say they verified and sequenced Hitler’s DNA. What they discovered is a controversial bombshell

    The most striking finding from the team’s analysis was that Hitler had a mutation on a gene called PROK2. Variants in this gene are a cause of Kallmann syndrome and congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, King said. In boys, these conditions can delay puberty and cause undescended testicles.

    “Basically, they are characterized by low testosterone levels. You either don’t go through puberty or you go through a partial puberty … 5% of cases get associated with a micropenis, ” King said, referring to a small but normally structured penis.

    A $150,000 mortgage at 7 % has a payment of $998 over 30 years

    over 50 years the payment is $903

    MONUMENTALLY STUPID
    In what year is a mortgage 150k?  Maybe for a doublewide it's that much.
    not sure what you mean

    My mother in laws house just sold for $116K....FIL house probably selling for $70K


    I don't want to be that guy but I have to, where they live is most likely not a place that everyone else is wanting to go?

    I'm sure I can find a nice cozy place in Pennington Gap Virginia but there is little to no work unless you want to commute or work out of state.  Beautiful place but it's in the middle of nowhere.

    Yeah I wouldn't say everyone else wants to live in Greenville, Ohio but you asked what year a $150K mortgage gets issued. Lots of them in 2025 for sure.

    No one who is wealthy that lives in NYC will leave NYC. They choose to be there for a reason and the current tax rate doesn't bother them a new one won't be the breaking point.




    Who says leave? I’ve been saying limit to 182 days or less in state.

    and it’s completely up to the wealthy. Not you, not me, not ZM. But them.

    its the simplest type of tax to avoid, and since the wealth is concentrated at the top, and it’s their decision, only a small percent leave, the city risks default, it’s happened before. And the USA already has the most progressive tax system in he world.

    I know a few wealthy people that do not stay in any one country or US state for more than 90 days per year. And all capital gains are realized in the lowest possible tax jurisdiction through holding companies. They can change the rules, the wealthy find ways around it.

    No one who is wealthy that lives in NYC will leave NYC. They choose to be there for a reason and the current tax rate doesn't bother them a new one won't be the breaking point.




    Who says leave? I’ve been saying limit to 182 days or less in state.

    and it’s completely up to the wealthy. Not you, not me, not ZM. But them.

    its the simplest type of tax to avoid, and since the wealth is concentrated at the top, and it’s their decision, only a small percent leave, the city risks default, it’s happened before. And the USA already has the most progressive tax system in he world.

    I know a few wealthy people that do not stay in any one country or US state for more than 90 days per year. And all capital gains are realized in the lowest possible tax jurisdiction through holding companies. They can change the rules, the wealthy find ways around it.
    Screw that I guess if the payoff is so much that the gain is hard to refuse? But moving around to avoid paying taxes is absurd to a peasant like me, surely these folks you know don’t have young kids?
