Olive oil has been used since Biblical times and is parve.
So far as I know coconut and avocado oils are also parve.
Meanwhile, kosher observant Jews will still have all the various minefields to deal with, such as McDonald’s fries, for all that they’re currently fried in vegetable oil, are nonetheless dairy because of the use of milk proteins in their production. That’s a random example I pulled out of my backside, there are probably even better examples out there. Kosher observant Jews will still have to read labels and work around the fact most of the world doesn’t follow their rules.
That’s a great question. (Though I suspect major news outlets won’t report on it; they should.)
Mike Johnson would not have let her use a Ladies’ Room if he’s consistent and sincere in his beliefs. Of course he doesn’t seem to be all that consistent.
Actually, it has been declared kosher by whoever makes that determination. Kind of like how the Pope made beaver tail a fish for the purpose of fasting.
There’s the Jewish concept of Batel B’shishim, or “negated at sixty”, which means that if a an ingredient makes up less than 1/60 of the volume of a food or drink, and can’t be tasted, then it can be safely ignored.
Pigs can also have their faces eaten by leopards, apparently.
“The IACP and FOP are deeply discouraged by the recent pardons and commutations granted by both the Biden and Trump administrations to individuals convicted of killing or assaulting law enforcement officers. The IACP and FOP firmly believe that those convicted of such crimes should serve their full sentences,” the IACP and FOP statement said.
It continued: “Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety – they are attacks on society and undermine the rule of law. Allowing those convicted of these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families.
“When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence.”
Well, sure - Trump wants his pet thugs to know that they’ll be able to take on anyone, including law enforcement, without punishment if they’re doing it for Trump.
No one, of course, but the Republithugs still can’t grasp the problems are on THEIR team and not a general problem.
They may have been referring to his commuting the sentence of Leonard Peltier, who is widely believed to have been wrongfully convicted and had already served nearly 50 years. Pretty big stretch to fit that whataboutism in there.
Peltier, 80, has spent nearly 50 years in prison after being convicted of the murder of two FBI agents on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975. He also escaped from federal prison in 1979 while serving his sentence for the two murders and had five years tacked onto his sentence.
Peltier, a prominent Native American activist before his arrest, has always proclaimed his innocence in the crime.
