FDA moves to close GRAS loophole with new food rule
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed a new rule to overhaul the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) system for food ingredients, requiring companies to notify the agency instead of relying solely on self-affirmed GRAS determinations. The proposal, which will be published in the Federal Register on August 11, opens a 120-day public comment period and could significantly change how food companies document and market certain ingredients.
Connecticut bill gets kratom mall wrong. 'It invites legal challenges and fails to tackle the real crisis' Original
Connecticut's HB 6855 may have been written with public safety in mind - but it's more likely to trigger litigation than prevent a single overdose. Introduced in February as an update to the state's drug control statutes, this bill originally focused on regulating synthetic cannabinoids and hemp-derived THC products. But this month, lawmakers added a sweeping amendment that would classify all forms of kratom as a Schedule I substance.
The Precautionary Trap: Safety Extremism Is Itself Harmful
When safety goes too far, we risk losing the very ingredients that keep us healthy—balance, not blanket bans, is the real solution. Action Alert! By Rob Verkerk, Ph.D., Jonathan Emord, J.D., and Michael Ames-Sikora Listen to the audio version of this article: THE TOPLINE Sweeping changes to the GRAS system could unintentionally ban safe, beneficial nutrients and foods, harming public access to health-supporting ingredients.
Remembering Durk Pearson: Natural Medicine Pioneer and Liberator
By Jonathan Emord, Esq. I had the great privilege of knowing Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw, and of representing them, for the better part of thirty years. They were brilliant, passionate, and principled advocates of individual liberty who did more than voice opposition to government violations of rights, they fought the FDA in court and won in an unprecedented string of victories and against all odds. It was my great honor to be the legal tip of their constitutional spear.
Remembering Durk Pearson: Natural Medicine Pioneer and Liberator
ANH-USA General Counsel, Jonathan Emord, remembers the man with whom he worked for three decades to stem FDA tyranny against natural medicine, who passed away last Saturday. By Jonathan Emord, Esq. I had the great privilege of knowing Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw, and of representing them, for the better part of thirty years.

Emord: Border Crisis a Constitutional One as Well
OPINION Biden’s open borders and incentivization of illegal entry threaten our national security, our economy, and the lives, liberties, and property of American citizens. The risks are transparent, even to those who support Biden, but the Biden administration and its allies in Congress insist on doing nothing to stop the crisis and nearly everything to make it worse. Therein lies a truth many Americans refuse to appreciate. This is a planned destruction of the United States. But that’s not all.
Trump's trial is about politics, not justice
OPINION: Less than seven months from Election Day, Americans are continuing to lose trust in President Biden and the Democratic Party’s ability to lead on issues that matter, such as border security, crime, and the economy. Former President Donald Trump’s political opponents perceive their only hope of winning is to keep him off the campaign trail and in the courtroom.
Incursions Into U.S. Air Space by Foreign Drones
As Congress debates whether to send $100 billion to the Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, in defense of those countries’ borders, the U.S. border remains wide open, leaving our country virtually defenseless. Year after year the Biden Administration invites a continuous mass invasion of foreign nationals into the U.S. Its policies have not only removed our border defenses but have financially incentivized illegal entry and facilitated the transport of illegals across the country.
The Constitution Favors Texas
In less than one week, from December 17 to December 20, 12,000 illegals were encountered by Border Patrol at Eagle Pass, Texas. The criminal and terrorist cartels, not the Biden Administration, determine who enters. Biden has not only abdicated his constitutional duty to take care that the immigration laws are faithfully executed, but he has also refused to exercise his Article II obligation to function as a Commander-in-Chief by defending the United States against foreign invasion.
Colorado’s Disqualification of Trump Violates the Fourteenth Amendment
The Colorado Supreme Court has construed the 14th Amendment to bar Donald J. Trump from running for President. Does that Court have jurisdiction to construe and execute Section 3? It does not. Is President Trump ineligible to appear on the ballot because of Section 3? He is not. Under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, the Colorado Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction.
Grass Roots Liberty Force Emerges in Virginia
One might think from media reports concerning Virginia’s 2023 elections that Democrats swept the whole state legislature, leaving Virginia resoundingly blue. Those are gross exaggerations, missing a dynamic political movement in the state favoring individualism over collectivism, a movement that bodes well for Republican prospects in 2024. The 2023 election results are far more nuanced than most liberal pundits admit.
The Mortal Threat Posed by Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah to Israel and America
Across the United States instances of antisemitism have reached historic levels with many speculating that among those inciting violence against Jews are terrorists who have entered the United States through our porous borders. In the case of members and supporters of Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah, the aim is not verbal criticism but violent genocide, the eradication of every Jew, the state of Israel, and the United States.
The Significance of Buta Biberaj’s Defeat for Tim Kaine
The media overlooked the significance of an important Democrat loss in Northern Virginia on November 7: Soros-backed incumbent Buta Biberaj’s defeat by Republican Bob Anderson for Commonwealth’s Attorney. In her campaigns for that office, Biberaj received $926,056 from Soros’s Justice and Public Safety PAC. By contrast, Bob Anderson raised only $69,000.
Individual Liberty Depends on the Second Amendment
Disarming the law-abiding ensures loss of innocent life and tyranny. It emboldens those intent on murder and mayhem because it removes primary obstacles from effectuation of their evil intents. That logic would seem unassailable, and yet the radical left views guns, not assailants, as culprits and demands gun restriction and confiscation in violation of the Second Amendment.
I Went to the Border and This Is What I Saw
The Biden administration’s open border policy has invited the most violent and lawless to flock to America and enter our country with virtually no impediments. The unvetted come here neither pledging allegiance to the United States nor relinquishing their citizenship and loyalties to foreign powers. Our government is giving each at taxpayers’ expense cash, a cell phone, health care, legal help, transportation, and lodging.
Crime Solutions Worth Considering
There were 24% more homicides during the first half of 2023 than the first half of 2019. Across the nation crimes against persons and property occur almost daily, among them gang smash and grab attacks on retailers, car vandalism in urban and suburban areas, and shoplifting. Retail chains, like Walmart and Target, have closed outlets in certain areas when victimized by incessant thievery, causing them to lose money and be exposed to huge liability risks.
Parents’ Guide to Countering Woke School Indoctrination
Public schools have become indoctrination centers. Many parents panic at the start of the school year because their children, nurtured to have essential values, ethics, respect for others, and belief in God, will be bombarded with woke indoctrination, including transgender ideology, sexualization, Critical Race Theory, and anti-American historical revisionism. Here is a guide to help parents deprogram children before, and throughout, the school year.
Kaine Supports Increased Government Surveillance of Private Health Information
Senator Tim Kaine has no problem allowing the FBI to interfere with freedom of religion and no problem allowing the Public Health Service to increase surveillance patient surveillance. To Kaine, the interests of the Deep State are more important than the constitutional rights of the American people. On April 16, in an interview with WSET (ABC 12 News, Lynchburg, VA), Senator Kaine defended an FBI memo calling for undercover agents to surveil Catholic parishioners in the Latin Mass in Richmond.
Support the Free Speech Protection Act
We have come full circle with government censorship. Of late we have suffered that kind of widespread government suppression of speech critical of the Biden Administration and its policies that the nation experienced in its formative years during the Adams administration under the Sedition Act of 1798. The Biden Administration’s censorship is far greater than anything the authors of the Alien and Sedition Acts could have imagined.
And Soon They Will Control Everything
Digital technology, from cryptocurrency to artificial intelligence, promises to transform every aspect of our lives. Will that transformation promote liberty or tyranny? Those who seek centralized government control, from President Biden to President Xi Jinping, intend to exploit digital technology to divest Americans of freedom in favor of government planning. The survival of individual liberty is very much at stake.
The Precious Gift of Liberty
The American Revolution was indeed the first true rights revolution in world history, elevating the defense of individual liberty over the authority and power of government. The federal government of the United States is likewise unique in world history.
DOE is About to Unleash Sexual Assault on Girls and Women
Following the Senate vote championed by Sen. Tim Kaine to torpedo the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, the Biden administration’s Department of Education readied its proposal to change the historic interpretation of Title IX of the Civil Rights Act to accommodate those who “identify” as the opposite sex. You can read the DOE summary of the proposed rule here. It is open for public comment and will likely be rendered final and enforceable soon.

FBI Investigation Needed of Loudoun County School Board and Prosecutor, Not Parents
On May 10, WJLA TV broke news that in Loudoun County staff and associates of school board members and of Democrat officials and candidates (among them the county’s Soros-backed anti-incarceration prosecutor Buta Biberaj and the Democrat candidate for Sheriff Craig Buckley) were part of a group calling itself “Loudoun Love Warriors.” Group members plotted acts of violence, intimidation, and character assassination against Loudoun County parents in retaliation for their exercise of First...
Kaine Supports Authoritarian Violations of Patient and Catholic Parishioners’ Rights
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine distinguished himself this past month as a defender of authoritarianism with two moves that undermine the rights of Americans. The first is his opposition to Ron Johnson’s bill, S.444, that would prevent the Biden Administration from unilaterally adopting (without required Senate advice and consent) World Health Authority amendments that threaten to increase WHO authority and influence over U.S. pandemic response.
Supreme Court Rules Constitutional Challenges to Agencies May First Be Brought in Federal Court
The United States Supreme Court published a momentous decision on Friday, April 14: Axon Enterprises v. Federal Trade Commission. After decades of lower court deference to federal agency proceedings, the high Court allowed two parties (one suing the FTC and another the SEC) to bring their constitutional challenges against those agencies’ administrative proceedings in federal court in the first instance.

Nomani Exposes the Woke Army
We are all familiar with radical terrorist cells that once set in motion commit acts of mayhem destroying American life and property. But there is another kind of terrorist network operating in America. Rather than blow things up, these terrorists tear things down from within the institutions themselves.
Virginia Board of Education Controversy Rages On
Controversy over the removal of parents’ rights advocate Suparna Dutta from the Virginia Board of Education continues to rage. Vigorous efforts by board member Anne Holton and her husband, Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine, to change the narrative have failed. Virginians remain livid that Dutta, the only representative of parents’ rights against far-left indoctrination of students, was removed from the Board.

Biden Transfer of Pandemic Response Power to WHO Violates the Advice and Consent Clause
The Biden administration appears poised to sign an accord with the World Health Organization that will enable authority over domestic pandemic response to be ceded to the WHO in violation of Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, the Advice and Consent Clause.

Suparna Dutta Will Be Back
After she challenged Virginia Board of Education member Anne Bright Holton Kaine (Senator Tim Kaine’s wife and the former Virginia Education Secretary whose Department introduced CRT to Virginia schools), Suparna Dutta became a target of the radical left. They financed an extensive smear campaign to cause her removal from office on a false charge of racism. It worked. Virginia State Senator Ghazala Hashmi introduced an amendment that removed Dutta’s nomination.

JONATHAN EMORD’S ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS CANDIDACY FOR U.S. SENATE
Clifton, VA--Veteran constitutional and administrative attorney Jonathan Emord announced today he has entered the race for U.S. Senate in 2024. Here are his remarks at the start of his senatorial campaign: Today, I am announcing my candidacy for the United States Senate. Everywhere in the Commonwealth, we see an outpouring of support for major change, for a restoration of freedom and progress.
Presto Change-O, the ATF Turns Gun Owners Into Felons
One of the common, insidious ways by which the regulatory state deprives Americans of constitutional rights is by whittling away at those rights piecemeal through the promulgation of regulations designed to serve an amorphous “public interest” political end at the expense of the constitutional limits on power designed to protect individual liberties.
How Do You Prosecute Trump and Not Biden (and Clinton)?
Presidents Trump and Biden along with Hillary Clinton share something in common. They each have possessed classified information at their residences. Of the three, only one has been the subject of wrath from Attorney General Garland and senior Biden Administration officials, Donald Trump. But can Garland get away with prosecuting Trump alone despite not prosecuting Clinton and Biden?
Merit Scholars Denied Timely Awards Deserve Congressional Recognition
One of the great patriots in the House of Representatives is Congressman Bob Good from Virginia’s fifth congressional district. Congressman Good and other wise, patriotic members of the House and Senate ought to help rectify the injustices committed by Fairfax County Public Schools against Asian students.
States Must Sue Biden and Invoke the Guarantee Clause to Secure the Border
On January 5, President Biden announced an unprecedented revision to immigration law that will enormously increase the number of immigrants entering the United States, granting them temporary legal status without assurance of compliance with existing immigration laws. Under Biden’s executive action, some 30,000 migrants per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela will enter the United States with work permits through a new application process available in their own countries.
Not Accidental, FCPS Withholding of TJ Student Awards Was Intentional
When merit governs, everyone wins. When equity governs, everyone loses. Equity, or equality of outcome, always brings down what is above. The effect is a leveling at the mediocre level, disincentivizing precisely those extraordinary achievers upon whom communities, states, and the nation depend for excellence in every field of endeavor. Equity (or more accurately termed, communism) is a dead end that leaves the great bulk of humanity in poverty, in servitude to the state, and in hopelessness.
Anthony Fauci, the Father of American Lysenkoism
Scientific discovery and innovations in medicine require a private sphere protected from government censorship. Properly understood, the First Amendment denies the government power over speech and press, thus enabling the free interchange of ideas and information. Dr. Anthony Fauci has proven himself an enemy of the First Amendment and an heir to the infamous legacy of another who forced science to heel to falsehood in service of his own ambitions, Trofim Lysenko of Stalin’s Soviet Union.
Rogue Virginia ABC Sends Police to Enforce COVID Lockdown
Virginia has a famous Republican Governor, Glenn Youngkin, who has made his opposition to arbitrary COVID-19 mandates clear. But his predecessor, Democrat Governor Ralph Northam, although out of office for ten months, apparently still calls the shots at the Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Board. He does so through board members he appointed. Indeed, every one of them, including Board Chair Maria J. K.

Biden, Impervious to Change
The red wave failed to materialize. Republican gains will not end Joe Biden’s propensity to rule without Congress, in a dictatorial fashion, using only his pen and his phone. Between now and 2024 little will change. Everything depends on the 2024 presidential and congressional elections. They will decide the fate of the nation.
Public Schools: From Caretakers to Child Abusers
Across the nation many public schools are violating the most basic duty they owe to parents and children: honoring parents’ rights over the education, care, custody, upbringing and control of their children. They are doing so by exercising a pervasive and malign influence over impressionable young people in grades Pre-K through 12, sexualizing them, confusing them into believing their birth genders are changeable at will, and indoctrinating them in Marxist Critical Race Theory.

Wexton Mirrors McAuliffe in Debate with Cao
In an October 2 debate between candidates for Virginia’s 10th congressional district, incumbent Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton (D) took a position against parents’ rights comparable to the infamous one taken by Terry McAuliffe that led to McAuliffe’s defeat to Glenn Youngkin in Virginia’s 2021 gubernatorial race. Like McAuliffe, Wexton distrusts parents in the upbringing of their own children without the second-guessing of school bureaucrats.
