Bayer Loses Appeal Over Historic 'RoundUp' Cancer Lawsuit

 

Having successfully, closed on its $66 billion purchase of the agrochemical company Monsanto in June, we suspect Germany's Bayer AG, is more than a little concerned now after failing to persuade a judge to set aside a jury’s $289 million verdict in the first trial over allegations that its Roundup weed killer causes cancer.

 

As a reminder, in August, a San Francisco Jury awarded $289 million in damages to a former school groundskeeper, Dewayne Johnson, who said Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller gave him terminal cancer. The award consists of $40 million in compensatory damages and $250 million in punitive damages.

 

Johnson's trial was fast-tracked due to the severe state of his non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph system he says was triggered by Roundup and Ranger Pro, a similar glyphosate herbicide that he applied up to 30 times per year. His doctors didn't think he'd live to live to see the verdict.

 

Johnson testified that he had been involved in two accidents during his work in which he was doused with the product, the first of which happened in 2012. Two years later, the 46-year-old father of two was diagnosed with lymphoma - which has covered as much as 80% of his body in lesions.

President Trump Proposes 10% Tax Cut For Middle Income Families

 

Promises made, promises kept.

President Trump announced a 10% tax cut for the middle class Monday evening from the massive rally in Houston, Texas.

 

“We’re gonna be putting in a 10% tax cut for middle income families,” Trump said as the crowd cheered.

 

“That is in addition to the big tax cuts that you’ve already gotten,” Trump added.

 

The President teased on Saturday that he would be revealing new tax cuts for the middle class before November.

 

President Trump promised to cut taxes for people and businesses during his 2016 presidential campaign and he is delivering; this would be Trump’s second tax cut.

 

Trump has also rolled back many Obama-era regulations that were stifling innovation and preventing small businesses from flourishing.

 

Thank you, President Trump!

Saudi Crown Prince's Brother Met Khashoggi Months Before Murder

 

The younger brother of the Saudi crown prince, the kingdom’s US ambassador, had a chat with Jamal Khashoggi at his office month before the journalist’s death, US media reported Monday.

 

His meeting with Prince Khalid bin Salman took place in Washington, DC in early 2018 or late 2017 as the Washington Post columnist visited the embassy on consular matter, three people told NBC News.

 

The journalist was reportedly recognized by embassy officials who immediately informed the prince. He was called up to the ambassador’s office and stayed there for half an hour.

 

A friend of the late journalist told the channel Khashoggi had described both the prince and their conversation as "nice." He did not give any details.

 

The meeting came amid continued attempts by the royal court to bring him back. Prince Khalid had reportedly been contacting Khashoggi for at least a year before their Washington meeting.

 

Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi government residing in the United States, was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul where he went to get papers he needed to marry his Turkish fiancee.

US Congress Urge Intel Chief to Disclose Intercepts of Saudi Khashoggi Plot

 

Over 50 US Congress members have urged Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats to lift the lid on intercepts of Saudi officials hashing out plans to kidnap journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

 

"We seek urgent answers as to whether Mr. Khashoggi was in fact contacted about the credible threat to his life and liberty posed by the Saudi plot to capture him… and whether the intelligence community will declassify portions of U.S. intercepts of Saudi officials relevant to Mr. Khashoggi’s disappearance," they wrote in a letter on Monday.

 

The lawmakers referred to a 2015 intelligence directive which requires US intelligence community to warn people of threats to their lives.

 

They told Director Coats that, considering the profound ramifications of the journalist’s disappearance, they intended to "use the full force of Congressional oversight and investigatory powers to obtain these answers should they not be forthcoming."

 

US media reported earlier this month that US intelligence agencies had intercepted Saudi officials’ conversations proving that the Saudi crown prince had ordered an operation to detain Khashoggi, a US resident.

 

Saudi Arabia has been under international pressure after Khashoggi, a known critic of its government, vanished inside its Istanbul consulate on October 2. Riyadh eventually admitted that the Washington Post columnist had been murdered in a fight with men who came to Turkey to rendition him.
