by creating such issues and harping on them, Biden occupies news coverage wall to wall and sucks the lifeblood out of the other candidates.

As mentioned here by others many times, this amendment was part of the appropriation bill that most members of Congress (I am sure many did not) voted in order for it to be approved. And, yes, it was in the bill that Obama sent.

Maybe that is why your tummy makes you nauseated.

Bile or gall is a dark green to yellowish brown fluid, produced by the liver of most vertebrates, that aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine. In humans, bile is produced continuously by the liver (liver bile), and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder.
