Slogans Won’t Make America Healthier,
but Consumer Education Can

When HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says that sugar is poison, you need to listen to what comes next. He’s challenging us to become better informed about the foods we eat and the impact diet has on our long-term health. Sugar is not a poison, and neither are the many FDA-approved additives that are being targeted by popular influencers at the moment. The discussion is being driven by catchy slogans that side-step, rather than engage, science. After all, the landscape of social media isn’t built for nuanced science communication. Rather, it seems to be built for influencers selling products with their pseudo-science talking points.

David Hogg, who emerged as a gun control advocate and political activist after he survived the horrible 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida, has shaken up the Democrat party and caused intense navel-gazing and infighting among the ranks. You see, after the 25-year-old was voted in as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, he continued to agitate and raise money for party candidates who were challenging Dem incumbents—in effect, going directly against the DNC’s core mission.
Now some want him gone, and on Monday night, they took action [snip] Hogg isn’t taking it well

This dad is one unhappy mouseketeer.
A father-of-three who went viral for his posts about how much Walt Disney World costs says the $1,400 he spent for one day was not worth it.
In TikTok that has been viewed by millions, Craig Stowell said a trip to the famed Orlando theme park with his wife and three kids blew up his wallet for only a modicum of enjoyment when faced with the never ending stream of lines at Disney.[snip]
The frustrated dad said he spent $974 for five single-day tickets, and that’s with the Florida resident discount. “It started with the ticket purchase,
Somewhere between 10 million and 12 million illegal aliens were invited into the United States by the Biden administration.
As far as logistics go, former President Joe Biden could not flee Afghanistan without getting 13 Marines killed and abandoning to the terrorist Taliban $50 billion in munitions, a billion-dollar embassy and a $300 million retrofitted huge airbase.
But Biden and his handlers proved far more logistically capable when their target was fellow Americans.
After all, they somehow managed to stop the congressionally approved continuance of the border wall, subvert federal immigration law, emasculate the border patrol and ensure that millions of people around the world could simply walk into the US illegally,
Police are calling for an official investigation and charges against a city councilwoman for allegedly assaulting officers and inciting a violent mob trying to stop the arrest of an illegal alien criminal suspect in Worcester, Massachusetts.
It is another in a slew of incidents where government officials have stepped in to try to block immigration enforcement as the Trump administration cracks down on aliens with criminal records in the U.S.
A local police union argued over the weekend that Etel Haxhiaj, who represents Worcester’s District 5, helped incite the mob into assaulting ICE officers and cops during the Department of Homeland Security operation that escalated out of control Friday.

Less than 48 hours after rolling out a fact-checking website designed to target "right-wing misinformation," California Governor Gavin Newsom was caught using stock footage from Ukraine and Estonia in an ad promoting his state's economy.
The ad, released initially on X and set to run on “Fox and Friends” this weekend, criticizes President Donald Trump’s tariffs while touting California's supposed economic strength.
An overly excited Newsom, however, shared it with his followers on X first. Viewers quickly pointed out that the ad, meant to show the greatness of the Golden State, contained stock footage from a pair of European countries.
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Gellentüundt threw caution to the wind when exploring the possibilities of artisanal Spam and cheese molds.
When thinking about the parade of people who perverted the justice system in an attempt to keep President Trump off the 2024 ballot, it is difficult to pick the most despicable of the bunch. They're all execrable people who tried to interfere in a presidential election and drive the country off a communist cliff, after all.
Because they really thought they would get away with it, they were all annoyingly smug. Today, we will focus on one of the worst of the worst,
Parents, do you know what your kids are doing online?
If not, the answer may terrify you.
Last month, the FBI issued a warning about the growing threat of violent online networks targeting minors.
Lurking on gaming platforms, social media or self-help forums, members of these networks lavish attention on their targets.
After the grooming comes the demands: that victims carve occult symbols or the names of their abusers onto their bodies (a practice known as “fansigning”).
That they share sexually explicit videos or mutilate their pets on camera.
That they livestream their own suicides.
When victims disengage, they’re doxed and swatted, threatened with violence, blackmailed or extorted.
Most victims are teens.
Some are younger.
Wild viral footage has captured Frontier Airlines gate agents getting into a bust-up with a passenger who had sniped, “I’m never flying this sh—y airline again” after being hit with an unexpected $25 fee just to check in.
The caught-on-camera saga erupted when the male passenger — a 45-year-old married father of three — was trying to check in for his Frontier flight from Raleigh, NC, to Boston last Friday after a week-long business trip.
The passenger, who didn’t want to be identified, told The Post he’d arrived at the airport with roughly 50 minutes to spare but wasn’t able to check in on the electronic kiosk because,
Stephen Miller’s America First Legal (AFL) has filed a bombshell lawsuit against Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., in his capacity as Presiding Officer of the Judicial Conference of the United States, and Robert J. Conrad, Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
The lawsuit accuses the powerful duo of running what AFL describes as an “unconstitutional shadow agency” and violating federal transparency laws.
The lawsuit, filed on April 22, slams the Judicial Conference of the United States and its administrative arm—both overseen by Chief Justice Roberts—as rogue “executive agencies” that have collaborated with far-left lawmakers to wage lawfare against conservative Supreme Court justices.
Some cities have canceled or severely downplayed Cinco de Mayo events for fear of ICE raids and deportations.
Speaking with CNN on Monday, Chicago resident Hector Escobar, president of the Casa Puebla and Cermak Road Chamber of Commerce, said that people in his community are “very scared” of gathering in public with some even considering going back to Mexico.
“Our people are very scared,” he said. “Honestly, they’re saying they don’t want to go to work. They have to go to work because they have to feed their families. So, if they both were working, now one person is working.”
The FBI botched its investigation of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting that wounded six — downplaying the gunman’s anti-GOP motives despite having handwritten evidence, a blistering House report found.
The House Judiciary Committee, Intelligence Committee and Intelligence Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigation released the scathing, unclassified report on its findings Tuesday after combing through roughly 3,000 case file documents it was given last month.
“This is the same FBI that can’t tell us who planted the pipe bomb, who can’t tell us who leaked the Dobbs opinion and who can tell us who put cocaine at the White House,” House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) chided Tuesday morning.

LOS ANGELES — Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday that Democrats have to figure out how to grow their party in order to help younger people pay their bills and focus on having fun and sex. He told comedian Bill Maher during an appearance on the “Real Time” show that assisting younger people with getting by will allow them to “focus on what young people should be focused on.” (snip) “Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun,” the vice chair continued.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has taken steps towards removing gun control activist and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor David Hogg as vice chairman.
On Monday, the credentials committee of the DNC voted 13-2 to void the election results from February in which Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D) were elected to serve as co-vice chairmen of the DNC, according to the New York Times. The vote comes as Hogg is reportedly planning to “spend up to $20 million” to fund “primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats.”
Per the outlet, the decision from the credentials committee came after “three hours of internal debate and one tie vote,”
Restaurants on Lower Broadway have shut down due to fears of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s presence in Nashville.
Fox 17 reported that at least two restaurants closed last weekend due to the rumored presence of law enforcement.
“It’s just creating this general sense of fear all the time,” said a manager to Fox 17. “There were rumors flying around about ICE being on Lower Broadway. It was credible enough that we had to close the restaurant because back-of-house staff had to leave. Everyone split.”
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg held a town hall in the influential early-contest state of Iowa on Tuesday, potentially fueling added speculation about another presidential run for the prominent Democrat. Buttigieg held the town hall with VoteVets, a progressive political action committee advocating on issues like national security and veterans’ care, in Cedar Rapids, marking the first time he’s been back to Iowa since the end of the Biden administration. The former 2020 presidential candidate noted that he’s not currently a public official, nor is he actively running for office and called on officials to take part in more events
Democrat Rep. Shiri Thanedar (MI) has introduced a resolution to force a chamber-wide impeachment vote against President Trump.
Thanedar introduced “his impeachment resolution as privileged on Tuesday afternoon, meaning leaders have two days of the House in session to take up the legislation,” per Fox News.
No House Republicans have signaled support for the measure, and leaders could potentially keep lawmakers from voting on impeachment at all.
When deeming his resolution privileged, Thanedar said the president “has unlawfully conducted himself, bringing shame to the presidency and the people of the United States,” while calling the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) a “flagrantly unconstitutional creation.”
Democrats have not backed the impeachment resolution,

In his latest proposal to end the war in Ukraine, former President Donald Trump reportedly offered Vladimir Putin a dangerous concession: de jure recognition of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. The proposal appears to accept the idea that Crimea was once part of Russia and that returning it to Russia would restore historical justice.
This logic is not just politically reckless, it is historically and legally indefensible. It echoes the imperial narrative Putin himself has long advanced: that modern Russia is the rightful heir to the entire Russian Empire[snip]
Crimea was never part of Russia, and the Russian Federation is not a successor to the entire Russian Empire.
An incendiary trend involving laptops and fueled by social media has gripped various school kids across the U.S., sparking fires, warnings, and juvenile criminal charges. Several teenagers have been tampering with their school-issued Google Chromebooks by inserting objects capable of conducting electricity into the laptops’ charging ports, causing the laptops to short-circuit and burn, according to authorities. The illegal act is also a social media trend, they said.
Joe Biden Was Senile? Who Knew?

Who didn’t? I was on Australian television during the 2020 election campaign, and casually mentioned that Joe Biden was senile. Rita Panahi was startled and said, “Wait, what? Joe Biden is senile?” I explained that this was why he was running a basement campaign rather than putting on campaign events like Donald Trump did. It seemed obvious at the time.
Biden’s debility became increasingly clear over the four years of his term. The videos of Biden being unable to speak without a teleprompter, being unable to read a teleprompter, falling down, wandering about, speaking inappropriately in various ways, were legion.
Oh, my GAWD -this is getting so good.
I mean, to the point where there's no 'Republic of Alberta...YET,' good.
The morning after the country went to the polls, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith laid down the law to newly elected Canadian Prime Minister and WEF/Davos climate cult toadie Mark Carney that she - meaning Alberta - wasn't going to stand for any NetZero nonsense out of Ottawa. They'd quite had their fill, thank you.
Last week, President Donald Trump fired Dr. Carla Hayden as Librarian of Congress. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt explained why in a press briefing: [video]
One of Hayden’s moves was to allow entertainer Lizzo to play James Madison’s crystal flute in 2022. At the time, Lizzo was wearing next to nothing, and she twerked while holding the 200-year-old musical instrument. [Video]
On Monday, staff prevented Assistant Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump’s appointee to head the Library of Congress, from doing his job. The Post Millennial reports:
Blanche sent two Justice Department Officials over to the Library of Congress on Monday with a letter
In the weeks surrounding President Trump’s inauguration, America’s propaganda press relentlessly cited leftist claims that 15,000 trans-identifying individuals would be booted from the military under the new commander-in-chief. The insinuation, of course, was that such a move would harm “military readiness” and the country’s national security.
In a statement to The Federalist, a Defense Department official said that, as of February, there are “approximately 4,200 Active-duty, Guard and Reserve service members currently serving diagnosed with gender dysphoria” throughout the armed forces. The total is roughly the same that was announced by the agency in February.

I don't trust people saying what's good good for me, especially when they are at the influential Executive level.. Remember when Michelle Obama 'recommended' school lunches which were immediately served and thrown out?
Leave my food (and drug) decisions to me.
