Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Wheat Prices Jump to 13-Month High Amid Drought
Hot, Dry Weather Expected to Continue This Week


Wheat prices jumped to a one-year high as hot, dry weather imperiled the U.S. crop and unrest in Ukraine fueled worries about grain exports in Eastern Europe.

A U.S. winter-wheat crop already battered by drought faced new burdens as temperatures soared above 90 degrees in parts of Kansas and Oklahoma and little rain fell during the weekend. The hot weather continued Monday and is expected to further affect wheat-growing regions in the U.S. Great Plains before moderating later this week, according to private forecaster Commodity Weather Group LLC.

"The heat is further stressing an already stressed crop," said Austin Damiani, an analyst with Minneapolis-based brokerage Frontier Futures.

On Monday, wheat for May delivery rose 13.5 cents, or 1.9%, to $7.2125 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, the highest settlement price for a front-month contract since April 30, 2013.

Meanwhile, wheat prices also were buoyed by intensified fighting over the weekend in Ukraine, a major wheat exporter. Violence has spilled into the Black Sea port city of Odessa, from which much of the country's grain is exported, leading to concerns that tensions with Russia will cause Ukraine to produce and ship less grain. That could prompt wheat buyers to purchase more supplies from the U.S.

Participants on a wheat tour in Kansas last week measured winter-wheat yields in the state at 33.2 bushels an acre, the lowest in seven years, while a separate group projected Oklahoma production at 66.5 million bushels, which would be the lowest since 1957. Winter wheat, used to make bread, is planted in autumn and harvested in late spring and early summer.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Monday said in a weekly report on crop conditions that 31% of the winter-wheat crop is rated good or excellent, down from 33% last week.

At the same time that crop estimates are shrinking for winter wheat, analysts said, wet weather further north in places such as North Dakota is stalling the planting of the spring-wheat variety.

The turmoil in Ukraine also helped push U.S. corn prices higher, as the Eastern European country is a significant player in that market, too, analysts said. May corn on the Chicago Board of Trade advanced 9.25 cents, or 1.9%, to $5.0325 a bushel.
