Estimates range from 12 - 15 MILLION undocumented immigrants living in the US. I welcome legal immigrants, but what other country would allow so many unofficial residents? Canada? Australia? Japan? Germany? I doubt it.

You mean the mob sent by Trump who beat cops, smashed windows to enter the Capitol and shat on the Speaker’s desk? Great candidates for El Salvador if you ask me.

Should I expect a decade of due process if I decided to go live in Norway illegally?

Cringe, as always.

This can’t be correct, because Liberation Day showed numbers on a poster.

Just noticed that, year-to-date, Bitcoin is in positive territory slightly.

Trump’s Rug Pull Dinner and White House Tour grift didn’t help much.

Amazing. That tree dates well into the heart of the pharaohs’ rule of Egypt.

Otherwise intelligent people actually spend their time attempting to divine charts.

Organic wine is a scam.

The label might say it’s clean.

That doesn’t mean it is.

Glyphosate still shows up in bottles labeled organic.šŸ·šŸ‘‡

Glyphosate is the main ingredient in Roundup.

It’s used in vineyards to kill weeds around the base of vines. Easy to spray. Cheap to apply. Hard to keep out once it's there.

Glyphosate exposure is linked to:

- Increased cancer risk, especially non-Hodgkin lymphoma

- Endocrine disruption

- Gut microbiome damage

Glyphosate use is off the charts in U.S. agriculture, but when it comes to wine, California is the hotspot.

It’s heavily used in conventional vineyards up and down the state. That makes California wines especially vulnerable to glyphosate residues, even when the winery itself follows organic practices.

Organic farming bans glyphosate use.

But it doesn’t stop drift from neighboring vineyards, runoff from shared water, or carryover from shared equipment.

Even if a vineyard plays by the rules, those rules have a lot of holes.

The Organic label offers comfort, but not certainty

What the Tests Say

Independent testing has found glyphosate in both conventional and organic wines.

Levels in organic bottles are often lower, but not zero.

And while these levels are well below the EPA’s legal limit of 30 parts per million, microdoses add up as newer research suggests even trace amounts can do harm.

Buying organic helps. But it isn’t enough.

Here’s what actually matters:

Shake your Producer's Hand.

Ask how they grow. Ask if they spray. Small, transparent winemakers will tell you the truth.

or choose wines from places where glyphosate is banned or restricted.

France, Austria, and Germany are leading the way. Certain parts of Italy too.

The wine industry reminds me a lot of the crypto world.

Some winemakers take the slow, grounded, Bitcoin-like approach, while others hide behind buzzwords, status, and crypto-smoke.

From the outside, it’s hard to tell the difference.

Follow along. Let’s peek behind the veil together.

Your reNosts mean the world to me.

So the Willamette Valley looks pretty clean, yes?
