There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings. He set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents. The Hur Report revealed that Biden suffers from “poor memory” and, even in his “prime,” could not be trusted with sensitive information. I will always protect our National Security — JOE, YOU’RE FIRED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION is happening, for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it - We will act. Also, because of this, I will be cutting off all aid to South Africa until further notice!

Premium Report: Chinese Links to Alleged Undersea Cable Sabotage in Europe, Asia https://breakingheadlines.news/chinese-links-to-alleged-undersea-cable-sabotage-in-europe-asia

Independent Syrian-British journalist Richard Medhurst has been detained by Austrian authorities under accusations of being a Hamas member—a baseless and outlandish claim. Medhurst, known for his critical reporting and independent voice, now faces over 10 years in prison based on these allegations.

Austrian intelligence raided his home and office, confiscating all his electronic devices, including those essential to his journalism. This heavy-handed action raises serious concerns about press freedom and the use of counter-terrorism measures against legitimate journalistic activities.

This is not the first time Medhurst has faced such scrutiny. In August 2024, UK authorities arrested him at Heathrow Airport, holding him for 24 hours under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act. Medhurst believes these actions, in both the UK and Austria, are a coordinated effort by intelligence agencies to silence his work and intimidate independent journalists covering the Israel's genocide in Gaza.

#Mullein

Common mullein lives one to three years, very rarely longer. It grows as a rosette of leaves, the leaves getting bigger and more numerous until the plant has enough energy to flower. The rosettes of soft leaves can be very abundant in a neglected field or on a roadside, making practically a carpet. The rosette shape is an effective way for a plant to monopolize a spot on the ground. The growing rosette crowds out or covers its neighbors.

When the rosette has stored enough energy, common mullein puts all the energy it has stored for several years into flowers. The tall flower stalks, up to 7 feet (2.1 m) high, support attractive yellow flowers the size of a dime (1.8 cm) that produce abundant seeds. The plant holds nothing back and so dies after flowering. (It is monocarpic, see discussion of monocarpy in previous post, Flowering Agaves).The flower stalks dry out and are visible through the winter.

    The seeds--small, numerous and durable--have spread the plant across the world.

     Since it is a conspicuous plant, common mullein has a rich collection of additional common names. In England, Ireland and the United States, those names include: Aaron’s rod, Adam’s flannel, beggar’s blanket, beggar’s stalk, blanket-leaf, blanket plant, bullocks lungwort, candlewick plant, common mullein, cowboy's toilet paper, feltwort, golden rod, great mullein, hag’s taper, hedge-taper, Jacob’s staff, Jupiter’s staff, Mary's candle, mullein dock, old man's flannel, our lady's flannel, Peter’s staff, Quaker rouge, shepherd’s clubs, shepherd’s staff,  torches, velvet dock, velvet plant, and witch’s candle.  Oh, good grief. Seems like every person who wanted to talk about common mullein made up their own name.

The old stalks standing in a field look like brown candles, but in fact mullein was traditionally used as a cheap torch. The dry flowering stalk can simply be lit and carried as a light source. It works even better if dipped in tallow. In addition, the dry leaf and stem material will readily ignite and so common mullein was used for lamp wicks before cheap cotton was available.

   Although nobody else seems concerned about the hairs, Grieve warned to filter mullein tea carefully because the hairs of the leaves can be extremely irritating in the mouth. A more positive use for the irritating properties of the hairs was captured in the common name Quaker rouge. Martin said Quaker women rubbed mullein leaves on their faces to make their cheeks pink. Brill added the comment that people using common mullein as toilet paper were "again creating a beautiful red flush on their cheeks." I had heard that from other sources. 

    Soaked in water, the flowers were reportedly used by Roman ladies to dye their hair yellow. That would require gathering a lot of flowers. Note on my photo that not all the flowers open at the same time. That is characteristic of common mullein.

    Grieve went on to say ashes from the plant, made into soap, “will restore hair that has become gray to its original color.” Mullein treated with sulfuric acid makes a permanent green dye, something I hope to try.  I've used common mullein leaves to make dye, mordanted with iron or alum, and gotten attractive but ordinary yellow and olive shades.

   The seeds contain small amounts of rotenone and coumarin. Eaten by fish, they can make the fish  inactive enough to be hand-caught, so the plant was used as a fishing aid.
