The Boar’s Head plant at the center of a deadly listeria outbreak in the U.S. is shutting down. Certain meat and poultry products produced at the plant in Jarratt, Virginia, and distributed to several states have been linked to nine deaths and 57 hospitalizations, as of the Centers for Disease Control’s latest update. In addition to shuttering its doors, Boar's Head will also permanently discontinue production of liverwurst, which was the product at the center of the company's initial recall in July.

People who never was their own hands? People who don't take cleaning equipment seriously? People who can't read the language? People with nothing upstairs? People who simply don't care? Now, people are sick and or dead. A company with a great reputation is badly damaged. People who need those jobs are out of work. Sabotage is always a possibility, but there are many reasons that need to be checed first.

I suspect that conditions in the plant were so bad that shutting it down was the most cost effective solution. Give it a few days before some ex-employees tell tales of mold and vermin in the plant.

Liverwurst is my favorite deli meat. I don't recall ever eating Boars Head liverwurst but I buy the other brands. Any meat product can be bad news if something goes wrong at the plant especially those not normally cooked.

Donald Trump was golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida, when Ryan Wesley Routh waited along the green, hoping to assassinate the former president and record it. He left a GoPro and an AK-style rifle mounted with a scope on the scene. He was later apprehended by local police, but not before scurrying when Secret Service agents opened fire on him; they saw the barrel from his gun through the shrubbery. Ryan Wesley Routh has a criminal record that spans the Himalayas. We’re waiting to see if he was on the radar for any federal law enforcement agencies vis-à-vis recent threats:

As last week’s debate made clear, Kamala Harris’s media enablers have given Harris the green light to lie in the most flagrant ways about the most significant of issues. Even if Donald Trump were adept at giving concise answers, which he is not, he would have had no chance to expose Harris’s mendacity. In the long run, the most damaging of issues deal with the weaponization of justice. As vice presidential candidate, Sen. J. D. Vance is perfectly positioned to address this phenomenon. He is precise in his language; quick on his feet, and, with a “J.D.” (hmmm!) from Yale, inarguably well credentialed to take on the task

Linda C., a retired deputy sheriff in California, considers herself politically independent. She voted for former President Donald Trump in 2016 and then for President Joe Biden in 2020. But this year, she feels strongly about supporting the Democratic ticket, largely because of the stances Republicans, including Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance, have taken on childcare. She was particularly perturbed by Vance's recent suggestion that grandparents and other family members "help out a little bit more" with childrearing to relieve the burden of childcare costs.

The university included weight and height on its list of “protected characteristics” in its 2024 discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct policy, placing the traits alongside attributes like race and gender. Making jokes about these protected characteristics runs afoul of the policy and can result in sanctions for students, staff or faculty, according to the university.
