Bell Pulls Key Ingredients

Taco Bell has temporarily removed lettuce, guacamole, and pico de gallo from many menu items as a parasite causing severe diarrhea spreads across multiple U.S. states. The fast-food chain acted out of caution as health officials investigate cases of cyclosporiasis, an intestinal illness linked to contaminated produce. The move affects popular items, including burritos, tacos, and bowls that typically feature fresh ingredients. The parasite in question is Cyclospora cayetanensis, which causes cyclosporiasis. Symptoms include watery “explosive” diarrhea, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, nausea, and fatigue. The illness can last weeks if untreated.

Whew! My last Taco Bell was eaten about fifteen years ago so I consider myself safe from that particular problem.

Is this the media induced panic of the week? Its so hard to keep track nowadays. Covid? Hantavirus? Climate change? World War 3? Voter suppression? Where did they go?

Leafy vegetables like lettuce and spinach are especially difficult to clean well. Fruits like strawberries and blackberries too. Fast food restaurants that are not very strict in their kitchen are a risk. I always judge the kitchen by the conditions in their bathroom. But if you eat at home and wash your food well, you should be relatively safe. I love all the fresh summer crops. I fried okra yesterday and that heat should take care of anything.

For generations, California represented the American dream—a place where families moved in search of opportunity, good-paying jobs, and a better life. Today, the Golden State is earning a very different reputation. For 2026, California has been ranked the third-worst state to move to, according to Consumer Affairs’ annual state rankings, placing behind only Louisiana and New Mexico. The report evaluates states based on affordability, safety, economic strength, health care, education, and quality of life. California’s ranking was driven largely by poor scores in affordability, safety, and economic strength. While the state ranked 23rd in health care and education, and 14th in quality of life,

Charlie Kirk’s accused killer Tyler Robinson confessed three times to murdering the conservative leading light, according to a bombshell video from Robinson’s trans lover — including after he sneaked back to their Utah love nest. Lance Twiggs, who was seen speaking publicly for the first time Thursday in a pre-recorded deposition, told investigators he awoke the day after the Sept. 10 assassination to Robinson walking around their apartment, before he broke down and declared he “wishes he hadn’t done it” and that he was about to turn himself in. Robinson’s confessions, in a letter to Twiggs, text messages and in person — all shown in court during a preliminary hearing —

The New York mother beaten to death in her new home in Ireland shared a tragic, final post celebrating July 4th — lovingly posing with the asylum-seeking boyfriend who is the suspect in her murder, according to police sources. Westchester County native Jamey Carney, 43, posted a pic seemingly wishing she was back in the Big Apple, beaming alongside Ahmad Alsaqer, the 28-year-old now identified as the person of interest in the brutal crime. “Happy 4th y’all,” she wrote alongside the photo of them cuddling up in front of an AI-generated backdrop of Times Square, with the mom in Knicks T-shirt and Alsaqer in a Giants one.

As we've often said here, when Democrats tell us who they really are, we should believe them, and that has certainly been the case this election cycle, with America-hating socialists winning their primary races in hopes of expanding the Mamdani wing of the party in Congress. That was also the case in the aftermath of the September 2025 assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, 31, during an event at Utah Valley University. After the news broke, we saw radical leftists, including educators, medical professionals, and elected officials, openly and unapologetically express glee over the conservative icon's murder, with some even suggesting that Kirk's killing shouldn't be the last.

There can be little doubt that climate change is dropping down the global political agenda. Though my colleague, Dr Tilak Doshi, is surely right that we should be cautious about proclaiming the death of climate alarmism – and its influence – there are many signs that put the peak of the green agenda in our rearview mirrors, at least symbolically. Not least of those symbols is the Canadian Prime Minister’s whiplash U-turning on climate and energy policy, seemingly in the face of new geopolitical realities. Mark Carney has been sending disappointing signals to the green lobby since his victory at the April 2025 General Election. In May 2026,

Here's my biggest problem with the current state of looniness on the left these days. It's not just that the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media have had sanity in their rearview mirrors for years now; it's that they've become criminally boring while doing so. We've all seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; we know that there are crazy people out there who are fun to watch. The 2026 Democrats are just an endless parade of yawn-inducing predictability. It's a given that no Democrat will ever take responsibility for anything that he or she has done wrong; personal accountability is anathema to them.

President Trump on Thursday fired the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission ahead of the 2026 midterms. Two Democrat commissioners Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland were fired over email. The lone Republican commissioner, Christy McCormick, resigned. The firings left the independent commission with no commissioners. The firings come after the Supreme Court ruled that a US president has the authority to fire heads of independent agencies in the executive branch. Reuters reported: U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday terminated the members of the Election Assistance Commission, the independent, federal ​commission that assists election administration officials nationwide, according to ‌one person familiar with the decision and two other people briefed on the terminations.

The ACLJ has long recognized the critical importance—and value—of voting in America. With that understanding comes the calling to protect it. The ACLJ has fought for voter integrity and the sanctity of the vote for decades, going back to Bush v. Gore and as recently as representing the Colorado GOP all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court against lawfare attempting to block President Trump from appearing on the ballot, along with multiple other state GOPs facing similar challenges. We even represented the Green Party of Nevada when it faced lawfare aimed at keeping its candidate off the ballot. We routinely monitor and file briefs in election law cases.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is asking the body with oversight of inspectors general across multiple agencies, the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, to provide additional documents after the Government Accountability Office found that the council missed deadlines in completing investigations, discarded complaints that should be investigated, and failed to properly monitor potential conflicts of interest.
Tenants beware: Mamdani is already kicking

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is officially kicking off his scheme to socialize the city’s housing stock with his “Fix the City” program. The idea of the program is to target Gotham’s worst landlords by levying heavy fines and taking court action to confiscate their buildings if they don’t fix violations and/or pay the fines. All that’s missing is the slogan: Tenants of New York unite! Dilapidated public housing for all! Don’t doubt it: The radical New York State Tenant Bloc, once headed by Cea Weaver, Mamdani’s tenant czar, is strongly pushing City Hall to use a $2.2 billion fund to “take housing off landlords’ hands.”

Mamdani Lists ‘Little Palestine’ as
Immigrant Enclave, Ignores ‘Little Italy’

Little Italy is a New York City landmark. It’s a cultural touchtone where movies have been set. Tourists troop over to pick up Sopranos t-shirts and go out to an Italian restaurant. ‘Little Palestine’ is Islamic colonialist nonsense that no one had ever heard of. But the Mamdani regime predictably put out a map of what it claimed were “New York City Immigrant Enclaves” which listed ‘Little Palestine’, ‘Little Pakistan’, ‘Little Yemen’, ‘Little Albania’ and ‘Little Egypt’, but didn’t mention ‘Little Italy.’ If you’re counting, that’s 5 Muslim colonial enclaves in New York City, but no Irish, Italian or Jewish enclaves. Indeed, virtually all of the 30 ‘immigrant enclaves’ listed

As Breitbart Texas reported, U.S. federal agents from ICE were trying to arrest Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national illegally present in the United States, when, according to an agency statement, the man resisted arrest, allegedly used his vehicle to ram an ICE vehicle, and then attempted to run over a federal agent.

A bitter battle is brewing along California’s Central Coast as an Indigenous tribe pushes to create a protected ocean zone that could sharply limit fishing — sparking fears among local fishermen that their livelihoods are on the line. The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has filed a proposal to create a new Marine Protected Area (MPA) stretching from Morro Rock to the local dog beach near Morro Bay. The proposal was among 20 Marine Protected Area petitions submitted to the California Fish and Game Commission. The original petition would have allowed some recreational fishing, but the tribe requested an amendment that would reserve fishing access only for Chumash members.

President Donald Trump vowing Wednesday to intensify air strikes against Iran – after the sides traded attacks the day before and him declaring the countries' roughly three-week ceasefire "over" – has the U.S. appearing to be returning to war footing. "We're gonna hit 'em hard tonight," Trump said at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, after conceding to reporters hours earlier about the ceasefire, "To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them." The return, as expected, has raised immediate concerns from economic – like will gas prices skyrocket again? – to military ones such as: Does the U.S. have enough air, sea and ground-

Biden made the announcement Thursday on X. “Over on Substack I’m writing about the last seven years of my life. It’s the first draft of the whole story. All of it,” Biden said. “I’ll be releasing chapters every few days, along with ‘Where’s Hunter?’ a video series exclusive to Substack.” Biden posted an excerpt in the post, called “The Laptop.” The controversy surrounding Biden’s laptop started when he dropped it off at a computer store.

Just three weeks after it was signed, the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran is on life support. Tehran’s promise to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for international shipping turned out to be about as trustworthy as every other major promise the Islamic Republic has ever made. As the regime was busy staging the lavish funeral for its recently eliminated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranian forces went ahead and attacked three commercial vessels transiting the strait. The United States struck nearly 100 military targets across Iran in response.

An upside-down American flag isn’t a sight most Americans expect to see over the Fourth of July weekend. Yet that’s exactly what happened at a Somali Independence Day celebration in St. Cloud on July 3, where an upside-down American flag flew alongside the Somali flag, drawing condemnation online and a blistering rebuke from a city council member who called the display a “disgusting show of disrespect” toward the United States. Video from the celebration, first posted on the Rocks and Cows of Minnesota Facebook page, quickly spread across social media, where users condemned the inverted American flag and criticized event sponsors, including U.S. Bank.

Newport Beach’s chaotic Fourth of July weekend wasn’t fueled by locals after all. Police data shows the overwhelming majority of the hundreds of people arrested or cited during the holiday mayhem on the Balboa Peninsula came from outside the affluent beach city — with many traveling from other parts of California, Arizona and beyond. Of the 353 people detained during the Independence Day disorder, just 10 were Newport Beach residents, according to police. The remaining suspects came from elsewhere across California, Arizona and other states. In all, police issued 316 misdemeanor citations and made 37 arrests as officers cracked down on the unruly crowds. Those arrests included 25 juveniles,

New York City, like so many other big, blue cities, serves as an excellent model for how spending overwhelming amounts of taxpayer money can get so much less than underwhelming results. A recent report created a damning picture of New York City public schools as mass factories of educational failure. New York Success Academy, a charter school network in New York, dug through public data to show “New Yorkers how deep this failure runs” and how long it has been running. The results are both sad and infuriating. The study found that 906 schools in the city, roughly half of the total number, “had fewer than half their students passing math,

The party of Me Too has shown its true face in the rolling Graham Platner scandal. Now that a liberal woman has credibly accused him of rape, the rats have deserted the sinking ship and the Democrat-endorsed US Senate candidate for Maine has dropped out. But it’s “Me Too” late to save face. Conservatives always knew the left’s effort to assert moral superiority on matters of sex, race and ideology were play-acting but now it’s undeniable for even their most blinkered supporters. The Democratic Party’s defense of Platner to the bitter end against an avalanche of rape and sexual abuse allegations, not to mention his Nazi tattoo, has left them exposed as hypocrites.
