RFK Jr. Allows States to Ban Soft Drink
Purchases With Food Stamps, Setting Up
a Major Political Fight
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 3/28/2025 8:32:02 PM
Brandon Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Friday that the Trump administration had granted permission to West Virginia to ban the use of federal food assistance dollars to buy soft drinks. At an event in Martinsburg, WV, RFK Jr. gave West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey a first-of-its-kind waiver to permit the ban and had a message for the rest of the country: “Apply for a waiver to my agency, and we’re going to give it to you.” “Taxpayer dollars should be targeted toward nutritious foods,” Gov. Patrick Morrisey said at a lectern emblazoned with a “MAHA Starts Here” sign.

I never figured I'd see there be building tensions between the United States and Europe, but here we are.
To be fair, though, there should have been tensions a long time ago. After all, while many European nations like to consider themselves free societies, they're nothing of the sort. For example, gun rights are all but nonexistent for most people there. That's been the case for a long time.
But now, we're seeing that our European "allies" aren't on the same page elsewhere.
Famously, 60 Minutes did a segment where they followed German law enforcement as they kicked in doors over memes.
It’s Not the Message. It’s the Madness

You’ve likely heard the phrase, “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” Seems like good advice, especially when the hole is of your own making. But watching the Democratic Party’s ongoing meltdown—highlighted by their most recent “off the rails” DNC meeting—it’s clear they’ve lost the shovel, the ladder, and the will to climb out.
Let’s be clear: it’s not hard to fix the Democratic Party’s problems. They know exactly what’s broken. They just don’t want to fix it.
Instead of offering ideas, vision, and solutions, they’ve tripled down on their Trump Derangement Syndrome. A recent DNC event—meant to be a serious discussion of strategy and policy—
The radical left has a pathological hatred of Elon Musk for having the audacity to want to clean up waste and fraud in government. By now, you’ve heard about how these unhinged leftists have taken their hatred of Elon Musk to a criminal level, firebombing Tesla dealerships and vandalizing Tesla vehicles they happen to come across in public. These vandals are learning the hard way that attacking vehicles equipped with 360-degree surveillance cameras isn't exactly a genius move.
A couple of recent examples have me wondering if these lunatics are the dumbest criminals.
But Carson, 50, apparently has no qualms — at least until The Post inquired — about cruising around in one of Musk’s Teslas.
The latest House disbursement records show Carson claimed almost $11,000 of public money last year to pay Tesla Finance LLC for the lease of one of its cars.
Carson was one of more than 40 lawmakers last year who made use of a green scheme that allows them to access public money to lease a vehicle for use in their constituency so long as it is listed by the Environmental Protection Agency as a “low greenhouse gas emitting vehicle,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.
Democrats calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth got more fodder for their demands when a major media outlet dropped a story that he brought his wife to “sensitive” meetings, adding fuel to the “Signalgate” fire.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Jennifer Hegseth attended a March 6 “high level meeting” with her husband and U.K. Secretary of Defense John Healey, a day after the U.S. said it would suspend sharing intelligence with Ukraine in NATO’s proxy war on Russia. According to the outlet, Mrs. Hegseth also attended a NATO meeting during a trip to Brussels in February,
The Los Angeles Times’ surgeon owner explained why he believes “it’s not a coincidence” that cancer rates were on the rise in the wake of COVID: “Now you understand what keeps me awake at night.”
Propaganda, blanket responses and the rampant spread of actual mis- and disinformation as it relates to COVID were considered by many to be integral in the dramatic distrust of medical professionals that had permeated society. Sitting down with Tucker Carlson, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong suggested a connection between the shots and cancer that stunned the commentator into reacting, “It sounds like you’re describing what could be like the worst human health crisis in history.”
A vaccine scientist has reportedly resigned from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leading the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), claiming “misinformation and lies” were the reason. Someone familiar with the matter, however, says the vaccine regulator was forced out of his position.
In his Friday resignation letter, Dr. Peter Marks alleged that vaccine confidence has been undermined, calling it “irresponsible, detrimental to public health, and a clear danger to our nation’s health, safety, and security,” according to a report by NBC News.
Marks, who has led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) —
A Delta Air Lines flight and a U.S. Air Force jet almost struck each other in midair on Friday close to the site of a deadly collision between a different commercial jet and a military helicopter near D.C. in January.
Friday’s incident happened outside Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and involved an Airbus A319 and Air Force T-38 jet, NBC News reported on Saturday.
A flight radar website tracked the moment the two aircraft (seen in yellow) approached each other in flight. Seconds later, they nearly missed colliding as they passed one another, per 13 News Now.
Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a criminal alien during a train check 50 miles inland from the Texas-Mexico border. The man has a criminal history that includes a 2012 murder in North Carolina.
Del Rio Sector Border Patrol officials posted a report on X showing the arrest of a previously deported criminal alien. During routine checks, the Uvalde Station agents found the man hiding on a train approximately 50 miles inland from the U.S.-Mexico border. [Tweet]
Officials say the agents took the man into custody during the railway train check and discovered he was a previously deported criminal alien.
A growing number of illegal migrants are smuggling themselves out of the United States to avoid the legal penalties of government deportations, according to multiple witnesses.
“I’ve been a journalist for more than 25 years, but I never thought I would see this — ‘paquetes de retorno'” said Alfredo Corchado, an American journalist in Texas and Mexico and an executive editor at the Puente News Collaborative.
On March 26 he told an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations:
[Coyotes] are now offering packages where [migrant] people can go back home …. [If] you want to go home, or you want to go back to Honduras,
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Two anti-Tesla protests were held in San Antonio as part of what organizers called a “Global Day of Action.” The plan called for demonstrations at 200 Tesla dealerships worldwide on Saturday. Despite being the second largest city in the Lone Star State with a population of nearly 1.5 million residents, less than a dozen protesters showed up at each of the two scheduled Tesla protests in the Alamo City.
Breitbart Texas observed each anti-Elon Musk demonstration, which began before noon at one dealership closer to the heart of the city and another held two hours later at a Tesla dealership several miles away.
Hilarious Hypocrisy As Hillary Clinton

Weighs in on Signal Story, Gets Harsh
Lesson in Reality 5 replies
As I wrote on Thursday, Democrats flipped out over the Signal text chain story this week, shouting about accountability, trying to force some of President Donald Trump's national security team out. (Snip) But if there's anyone who shouldn't weigh in on the question of proper communications and classified material, it's Hillary Clinton. So naturally, she had the audacity to do just that, in an essay in The NY Times. If The NY Times had an ounce of shame they wouldn't have run it, but since they don't, they did.
"It's not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it's the stupidity," she said.

It seems that Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelensky has decided on a path that’ll send him clashing with US President Donald J. Trump and his administration.
Besides repeatedly breaching the Trump-brokered partial ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, Zelensky has now made a TV statement that contains at least two very controversial points.
First, he again stated that the hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid to the Kiev regime were NOT ‘loans’, but rather, donations – despite the fact that nothing was ever registered as such.
Secondly, he alerted that Ukraine will NOT sign the reworked rare-earth/mineral exploration deal,
It was the perfect opening. Politically, it was the equivalent of grilling a big, fat, juicy steak in the middle of the African savannah — and then being mystified by the sudden appearance of drooling predators.
C’mon, folks — use your heads! With a power vacuum that big and that tempting, it was only a matter of time.
The Democratic Party is in total disarray. Nobody’s in charge! The Obama-Biden cabal has left the building, Pelosi has health issues, and Schumer is struggling to stave off a rebellion. It’s complete and utter chaos.

New Mineral Draft That Would Recognize
US Support As Loans 20 replies
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a Friday press conference that he won't recognize past US military aid as loans, after Washington sent a new draft of the minerals deal to Kiev. "Ukraine received a new agreement project from the U.S. regarding mineral resources, which is an entirely different document from the previous framework agreement," said Zelensky, adding "Ukraine will not recognize U.S. military aid as debt."
"We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued. The Ukrainian president also said that they are unwilling to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin "or with someone who would represent Russia,"
Late last night, President Trump signed an executive order "to end collective bargaining with Federal unions" at more than two dozen government agencies. In theory this puts an end to collective bargaining for more than half of all federal workers.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday evening abolishing union rights at more than two dozen federal agencies and offices, in a major expansion of the administration’s efforts to shrink the federal government.
The White House cited national security concerns for terminating workers’ ability to bargain collectively, but the order applies at agencies with both direct and indirect links to national security.
Over a week ago, a video surfaced of a crazed white liberal woman on the New York subway completely melting down over a non-white Trump supporter wearing a MAGA hat.
The footage captured her aggressively harassing the young man, causing a scene, and branding him a racist for no reason other than his choice of headwear. And the best part? She ended up humiliating herself in the process when she chased after him off the subway and wound up face-planting on the platform.
Well, that woman has been identified.
According to a report from the New York Post, she is “an increasingly ‘agitated’ creative director for several luxury brands.”
May your enemies lack common sense, self-awareness, and the ability to learn from their mistakes or recognize their own interests.
If Confucius did not say anything quite like that, he should have.
In a clip posted Friday to the social media platform X, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, the comically overmatched and often creepy 2024 running mate to former Vice President Kamala Harris, told what looked like a small gathering of supporters that Democrats needed to form a “shadow government” in response to President Donald Trump’s administration.
“We see one of the first things they do is try and restrict the vote,”

From the New York Times Sunday article, “As the Left Looks to 2028, It Waits on Ocasio-Cortez’s Big Decision.”
As Democrats find… their party’s popularity at a generational low, progressives are also staring down the prospect of a post-Bernie future… The 83-year-old Mr. Sanders has signaled that he does not intend to run for president again. The question now is who will lead the network he built from scratch into the next presidential election…
Virtually everyone interviewed said there was one clear leader for the job: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
Hoo, boy.

Democrat Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes has brazenly declared that he will not cooperate with federal government efforts to secure elections and prevent illegal aliens from voting.
“I would tell them to go to hell,” he said when asked whether or not he would hand over publicly available voter registration data to the Department of Government Efficiency and the Department of Homeland Security to verify the citizenship of voters.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump signed an executive order earlier this week, mandating voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections,
“This is NPR.”
Unfortunately for National Public Radio, that proved all too true this week. In one of the most cringeworthy appearances in Congress, Katherine Maher imploded in a House hearing on the public funding of the liberal radio outlet.
By the end of her series of contradictions and admissions, Maher had made the definitive case for ending public funding for NPR and state-subsidized media.
Many of us have written for years about the biased reporting at NPR. Not all of this criticism was made out of hostility toward the outlet — many honestly wanted NPR to reverse course and adopt more balanced coverage. That is why,
Chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) ) has publicly accused NBC of withholding critical evidence in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
During a recent interview on Fox News, Rep. Luna claimed that an unreleased video, which allegedly depicts Lee Harvey Oswald away from the infamous Texas School Book Depository at the time of Kennedy’s assassination, is in the possession of NBC News.
According to Rep. Luna, this video shows Oswald near JFK’s limousine when the shots were fired in Dallas, a claim that, if verified,
