Jimmy Emmons – Candidate for Secretary of Agriculture
The Ag Secretary appointment is imminent. Many factors go into selecting and appointing an AgSec, and several candidates have already been considered. There is hope that Jimmy will be able to garner the trust of team Trump and represent MAHA interests – and be confirmed in Senate! Jimmy has upper-level USDA government experience in the…
‘Scuse ‘Scuse Me
I attended college in the late 1990s, a period of dramatic cultural transition from grunge to Britney Spears. Whether wearing huge flannel shirts or belly-baring crop tops, most of the girls in my sorority worked out and constantly dieted to achieve that super lean 90s body type. Around this time, my older sister – who…
The Billion Dollar Question
Monsanto Distinguished Fellow and Medical Toxicologist Dr. Daniel Goldstein: Roundup has been available since 1974. The ingredients are glyphosate, water, a surfactant, and very small formulated ingredients, like food coloring and products to keep it from foaming up. Readers, I’m having an identity crisis after a weekend at an environmental health conference. What if glyphosate…
Iron Leatherman
BY AOJ Folks, the Plaintiffs had a rough day yesterday. I was not there to witness the proceedings, but the long and short of it is that Dr. Weisenburger was suffering from some sort of virus and apparently was not the same Dr. Weisenburger we saw at the Hardeman trial. AOJ has also had a…
Hot in Here
Last weekend, I spent a few hours working on a service project on a grassy hill in the Bayview District of San Francisco. The project involved hand-picking turnip and plantain overgrowth to make room for the eruption of the predicted late-spring wildflower blooms. The leader of the project was a restorative landscaper for the City…
Day 5 – Game, Set, Match!
I’m heading over the Bay today for my first date with the Pilliod trial. Thanks to AOJ, I have a sense of what to expect. On my drive over, I listen to a new podcast from Dr. Zach Bush. Friends, if you haven’t had the chance to listen to Zach speak, please do so ASAP.…
Day 4 – Mr. Baumann, Tear Down This Geofence!
By: AOJ Pilliod v Monsanto The other day I went to Lowes to order some concrete for a project. Just inside the entrance on the right were a dozen pallets of Roundup—thousands of bottles of the stuff. This is not where they normally display it; it is usually along a wall on a few shelves…
The Heart of the Matter
By AOJ – AKA Johnson Juror #4 Well here we go again! I get to the Alameda Superior Court 45 minutes early and am greeted by Plaintiff attorney Mark Burton in the hall who says it is “already tight in there.” The master of understatement is on an assignment to retrieve more chairs. I get…
Verdict – From the Fair and Impartial
I’m not going to miss the verdict this time. I was finally added to the media list, so I can now get the real-time updates on the status of the jury. A few news organizations asked to interview me, so I look to find a quiet spot in the courthouse to film. I’m ridiculously unsmooth…
HARDEMAN AWARDED OVER $80 MILLION IN UNANIMOUS VERDICT

Phase 2, Day 4 – The Final Act
And yet another closing. The courtroom is packed again, and I feel energy and momentum in the room for the Plaintiff side. Or perhaps I am trying to project my own energy after listening to a podcast entitled: How to Become Your Future Self with Joe Dispenza. He works to connect neuroscience, epigenetics, quantum physics,…
Phase 2, Day 3 – A Bayer Market
DANG Bayer’s stock price crashed. Since the Johnson trial, I’ve kept a close ear on what analysts and investors are whispering about Bayer and the litigation. More often than not, I’ve found investors continuing to give the benefit of the doubt to Bayer. Some even encourage a “Buy” while arguing that the prices are undervalued,…
Phase 2, Day 2 – Mind-blowing Admissions
Attorney: When you say the surfactant is disruptive to the GI system, what do you mean? Tell us a little more about what that actually means as far as the animal ingesting surfactant or the formulated product that includes a surfactant. Donna Farmer: Surfactants are named for surface acting substances, because they act on the…
