COMMENT: Marty, Socrates is simply unbelievable. When everyone assumed a deal would be reached and Trump was trying to strong-arm Zelensky, Socrates still predicted rising diesel prices.

The sunscreen ingredient absorbs both UVA and UVB rays and causes little skin irritation. AP notes that BEMT has studies backing its safety and that it has minimal absorption into the skin. What took so long? The FDA’s slow process for approving over-the-counter ingredients.
