Claviceps spp. Members of the genus Claviceps infect more than 600 plant species, including sedges, rushes, and grasses. Important host plants for Claviceps purpurea include rye, triticale, barley, oats, wheat, millet, Kentucky bluegrass, and brome, orchard, timothy, and quack grasses. In terms of food safety, infection of grains with Claviceps purpurea is of greatest concern, although Claviceps africana found in sorghum and Claviceps fusiformis in pearl millet also need to be considered. Claviceps cyperi, found on the weed yellow nut sedge in South Africa, has caused ergot alkaloid toxicosis in dairy cattle. Claviceps paspali grows on grasses of the Paspalum...

After nearly 50 minutes of scooping, Biden unexpectedly addressed the crowd. “Hello, hello, hello!” said the retiring commander in chief....

As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before. Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border. On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl,...

Newsom said on Monday that if Trump eliminates a federal EV tax credit, he will propose creating a new version of the state’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program that ended in 2023 and spent $1.49 billion to subsidize more than 594,000 vehicles. Last month, a California official said he expects the Environmental Protection Agency to approve the state's plan to halt the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035, a proposal that major automakers have met with skepticism. California's rules, which have been adopted by a dozen other states, require 80% of all new vehicles sold in the state be electric by...

A Russian spacecraft docked to the International Space Station (ISS) didn’t just bring supplies to the ISS—it also brought a foul odor. The unpleasant aroma was strong enough to prompt astronauts to close the hatch connecting it to the rest of the space station and initiate anti-contamination procedures. The Progress 90 cargo ship arrived at the Russian module at 9:31 a.m. ET on Saturday, November 23, delivering about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for members of the Expedition 72 crew on board the ISS. After opening the hatch between Progress and the Poisk module, the crew noticed a...

Extract: There is no such thing as a tactical nuclear missile. There is no such thing as a limited nuclear war. Once the nuclear genie is out of the bottle the globalists will use it start a massive war with Russia. Putin would be open to Trump peace talks.
