Thanks @CDCDirector + prior Doctors for Obama Executive Director + 🤕#NCDHHS Secretary for setting all those failing processes in place while here "serving" North Carolinians. #WeRemember #888Days May 2020 media outlets' lawsuit. #ncpol @jonpsanders https://t.co/H6jE8itQeR

Hm. Suddenly in 2024 WRAL has discovered that NC DHHS is worst in the nation for reporting death data to the CDC.

I was writing about it back in **2020** but WRAL would not because it might involve criticizing Mandy Cohen.

Kennedy closed with something rare in government: momentum—and a plan to win.

The tide is officially turning for MAHA.

He didn’t just announce the end of petroleum dyes. He declared the beginning of something much bigger.

“It’s not the time to stop, it’s the time to redouble your efforts because we have them on the run now, and we are going to win this battle,” he said.

“Four years from now we’re going to have most of these products off the market, or you will know about them when you go in the grocery store.”

[Audience ignites]

Then came the moment that connected it all—from toxic ingredients to national strength to the American dream.

“Finally and most importantly I want to thank President Trump. President Trump often says that he is going to make America great again. He knows he cannot make our country great again, if our country is weak, if we’re not healthy. If we don’t have vigor. If we’re not a robust people.”

“He says he will restore the American dream and a healthy person has a thousand dreams. The sick person only has one. And right now there is 60% of people in this country who have only one dream.”

“If they can make it through a day without pain, with energy, without having to take medications. And we are going to change that for our country.”

Kennedy wrapped it all with a promise—one that signals a new era for the FDA and the people it serves:

“I want to thank the moms and thank President Trump for his confidence in my leadership, and for allowing me to surround myself with such an extraordinary team of scientists who are going to restore transparency to this agency.”

“We’re going to restore gold-standard science, so we know what’s in our food and we can eliminate it.”

And just like that, the war on toxic food had its shot heard ‘round the world.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

It started with an announcement that would change everything.

From the podium at HHS headquarters in Washington D.C., FDA Commissioner Marty Makary made it official: the United States will fully phase out petroleum-based food dyes by the end of next year.

A policy many thought was impossible—now etched in to history.

And for the MAHA movement, it’s a defining victory.

Makary stepped forward with a dose of honesty that’s been missing in public health for decades.

“There is no one ingredient that accounts for the child chronic disease epidemic,” he began.

“And let’s be honest. Taking petroleum-based food dyes out of the food supply is not a silver bullet that will instantly make America’s children healthy. But it is one important step.”

He didn’t sugarcoat the crisis.

“This administration is not interested in continuing down the path of doing the same old things as we watch our nation’s children get sicker. We need fresh new approaches.”

Makary called out the alarming spike in cancer and diabetes in kids—conditions that used to be unheard of.

“Cancer and diabetes in young people is going up at an alarming rate and nobody seems to know why. We have to turn our attention to underlying causes such as chemicals and toxins that children are exposed to. Not just more insulin and chemotherapy.”

Then came the truth bomb that drew murmurs across the room:

“And let’s not forget that the best way to lower drug prices is to stop taking drugs we don’t need.”

He said the quiet part out loud—and then he laid out the FDA’s plan:

“Number 1: Establishing a national standard and timeline for the food industry to transition from petroleum-based food dyes to natural alternatives.”

“Number 2: Initiating a process to revoke authorization of synthetic food colorings—including those not in production, namely Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B—within the coming weeks.”

“And number 3: Taking steps to eliminate the remaining six synthetic dyes from the U.S. food supply—specifically Red Dye No. 40, Yellow Dye No. 5, Yellow Dye No. 6, Blue Dye No. 1, Blue Dye No. 2, and Green Dye No. 3—by the end of next year.”

The crowd knew what they were witnessing: a system finally cracking open—and exposing the truth.

🚨 #BREAKING: The House COVID Committee has released its final report after a 2-year investigation.

MAJOR FINDINGS:
- The NIH funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.
- The Constitution can't be suspended in times of crisis.
- COVID emerging from a lab leak is "not a conspiracy theory."
- EcoHealth and Dr. Peter Daszak should "never again" receive taxpayer funds.
- Public health officials have lost the trust of the people.
- Trump's Operation Warp Speed was a success.
- The COVID response was "rampant" with fraud, waste and abuse.
- "The prescription cannot be worse than the disease," lockdowns had horrific consequences.

NEW: Scott Jennings goes off on "brain-rotted" Democrats who are defending Biden's pardon of Hunter.

This CNN panel member got upset at him "hurling names." She claimed Biden never "lied" and Jennings absolutely LOST IT.

"Every American, except the most partisan, brain-rotted people are going to be outraged by this today."

"To sit for a year and say 'I will not do this. I will not do this. The rule of law is sacred. We have to respect the justice system. We have to respect juries, the guardrails and the norms of our democracy.' These people are LIARS."

PANEL MEMBER: "Scott, you don't need to hurl names..."

JENNINGS: "Stand up for yourself, you don't have to defend this. You don't have to die on this hill. You can say 'This is wrong.' Are you fine with the lying?"

PANEL MEMBER: "I don't think that he was lying."

JENNINGS: *Falls forward laughing*

"Joe Biden, Karine Jean-Pierre - how many minutes of tape do we have of both of these people the American people 'this will not happen.' We could play it all morning."

"If Karine Jean-Pierre had an ounce of self respect, she'd get off the plane in Africa today [and] resign."

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

With this pardon, Joe Biden shredded any residue of veracity and credibility as president. For years, he was repeatedly asked if he met any of his son's clients. He lied and denied it. He was repeatedly asked if he was aware of Hunter's foreign dealings. He repeatedly lied and denied it. He was asked if he would pardon his son. He repeatedly lied and denied it...

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

...Hunter Biden is hardly the poster child for a victim of over-enforcement of federal laws. He was given a free pass on allegations that he was an unregistered agent and was the personification of influence peddling in Washington...

@blakekuhn Not sure I’d put it that way

Splitting the bill suggests “let’s make sure no one owes anyone anything so I can walk away from this on the spot”

[Blake Kuhn @blakekuhn]

@willchamberlain Splitting the bill screams 'let’s keep this transactional.' Real connection thrives on unspoken gestures and mutual respect, not a Venmo receipt.

When discussing the debanking of crypto entrepreneurs and Trump supporters, it's important to mention the contrasting treatment of the Biden family.

Six major banks, including JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, filed over 170 Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) with the Treasury Department regarding the Biden family, alleging their involvement in money laundering, human trafficking, and tax fraud.

The banks also flagged wire transfers sent to the Bidens from foreign state-owned entities, raising concerns about money laundering and tax evasion.

Investigations revealed that these foreign funds were funneled through 20 shell companies associated with Biden business partners before being distributed to nine Biden family members, including grandchildren.

Despite this, to my knowledge, not a single member of the Biden family has been debanked. For ordinary Americans, even a few SARs would likely result in debanking. Additionally, none of the Bidens registered under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), as would typically be required in such circumstances.

Meanwhile, hundreds of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and Trump supporters—including Melania and Barron Trump—have been debanked.

Just as the establishment weaponizes the U.S. dollar against foreign adversaries, it uses debanking as a weapon against its domestic opponents.

You are more than just “the media”. You and I are “the brand”.

[Rachel Mills @ladyjade]

Cancel culture only works when you’re in the majority. It is meant to sideline the opposition and make them irrelevant because the majority of “good” people will ignore the “bad” people. When you find yourself in the minority, you can no longer cancel people. Your attempts amount to self-cancelling, as we see with people leaving Twitter, where the majority has open dialogue, in favor of BlueSky where the minority echo chamber happens and no one cares.

My how the tables have turned. Open dialogue always wins.

Conservatives developed their own parallel social media platforms because they wanted open dialogue. Leftists are leaving Twitter because they hate open dialogue.

Open dialogue will always win. They are just removing themselves from the conversation. Which I am OK with. That is their choice and there is a big difference between having your account deactivated by the platform and deactivating it yourself.

@BrentWoodcox This logic would imply that all executive level appointments must be made by the governor which is not true.

Nothing in the constitution talks about how elections must be administered. The legislature is entitled to proscribe who and how elections are conducted.
