Fun fact: Ilhan Omar’s net worth went from $30,000,000 to $95,000 after the Learing Centers were exposed. That is a 99.68% decrease, she blames it on an “accounting” error.

Ilhan and her accountant are certified LEARERS, I hope the book helps 🙏🏼

Starbucks employees expose that Starbucks is using “blending powder” in many of their newer drinks

This new powder was just introduced this month. If you drink Starbucks you should be concerned about this

This “blending powder” consists of Gum arabic, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, natural flavor, silica and stevia extract (rebaudioside-A)

The reason they use it is because it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer

The gums and other components create a smoother, more consistent frozen blended texture and slows separation that would otherwise happen soon after the drink leaves the blender

Starbucks employees have been making videos saying it makes their throats hurt, makes them cough and makes their head hurt

The silica is silicon dioxide and acts as an anti-caking agent. This is a very controversial ingredient for health concerns

But it’s also a concern for these Starbucks employees because inhaling it is dangerous

Fine silica dust can become airborne when the powder is scooped. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of certain forms of silica is linked to serious lung conditions like silicosis

This should not be put in drinks we consume

Our food is a science experiment

‘Starbucks Workers United and individual baristas have publicly raised concerns since the powder’s introduction around mid-July 2026. Reports include the powder becoming airborne easily, along with some partners mentioning symptoms like sore throats, coughing, or chest irritation’

This is how the durable medical equipment (DME) fraud scam works:
- Operate around adult daycares
- Provide “equipment” for ghost clients (wheelchairs, knee braces, etc)
- Easier to open than a bank account
- Bill Medicare for millions

EXPOSE IT ALL.

In December, an 85-year-old North Carolina widow called a tree company begging for firewood, she said she was cold and couldn't heat her home.

The owner delivered it free and then fixed her roof, her heat, her car, raised $20,000 for her Christmas... and STILL maintains her property free, checking on her every week.

Her name is Nana Abernathy. She had just lost her husband and was struggling to survive on her own when she made that call last December.

Paul Brittain, the owner, showed up with the firewood himself. No charge.

But while he was there, he noticed things: a leaking roof, a broken heating unit, a car that needed tires.

So he came back, this time with his whole crew.

They fixed the roof.
Replaced the heat.
Put new tires on her car.

All for free.

Then, for Christmas, Paul raised $20,000 for her.

To this day, he maintains her property at no charge and checks on her every single week, just to make sure she's okay.

He has never charged her a dime.

This is the America I love!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@BrandiKruse I worked with the youth in Spokane, it blew me away when they sat us down, and said, any child that says they are Trans and is running away from a home that doesnt allow it. Should be treated as abuse and were told not to contact the police or the parents instead call the state.

[@homebakercooks @annhomebaker]

@BrandiKruse This is indeed the most horrific and demonic law ever existed and tragically most parents have no idea this law exists in WA. Thank you Brandi for covering this important story. I am so grateful Supreme Court will hear this case soon. This law is pure evil.

[@homebakercooks @annhomebaker]

@BrandiKruse I remember the year this horrific law was passed. Kids and parents were advocating in the streets for this law to pass. Little did they know what this law allowed; it was hiding in plain sight with lies and propaganda.

[Brandi Kruse @BrandiKruse]

Eight long months have passed since the state of Washington helped a 'trans' teen disappear. Eleanor Holman's family now awaits a SCOTUS ruling they hope will bring her home - and stop blue states from hiding children in the name of radical gender ideology.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! The identity services provider New Jersey uses at the DMV is FIRING BACK at Gov. Sherrill, saying the NJ DIVISION OF ELECTIONS were the ones who registered 6,600 foreign voters

This was NOT a “software error.” This is a SCANDAL.

“IDEMIA's role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system. The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote.

Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections.”

So the Division of Elections MANUALLY APPROVED over SIX THOUSAND foreigners to vote. They were not automatically registered by the software provider as the governor claimed.

Time to come clean, @GovSherrillNJ!

For over 100 years, the Gracie family has dedicated their lives to helping people move. They've also seen what happens when the joints that make that movement possible begin to fail.

That's why @RenerGracie believes Cytonics could help change the future of joint health.

At Cytonics, we're working to develop a potential disease-modifying treatment for osteoarthritis by harnessing the body's own biology - an approach we believe has the potential to redefine how this disease is treated.

We've already completed our first human clinical trial, and while there's still a long road ahead, every milestone brings us one step closer to our goal.

Thank you, Rener, for believing in our mission and helping us share it with the world.

🚨 WTF?! Agriculture Secretary @BrookeLRollins just revealed the largest pork company in America is now owned by a CHINESE COMPANY

Why do we allow this?! This is a DIRECT national security threat! Congress must END THIS.

ROLLINS: "Nearly 85% of our meatpacking capacity is controlled by just four companies, including two that are FOREIGN OWNED."

"Our largest pork company in America is owned by.. CHINA."

"These are national security implications."

BREAKING

WE WERE RIGHT!

Governor Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) just confirmed that illegal aliens ARE registered AND voting in New Jersey.

The thing that never happens is happening.

If it weren’t for the Department of Homeland Security sharing that 250,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in CA, NJ, NV, & PA,

they would have never admitted that illegal aliens are voting.

It feels so good to be vindicated.

Pass the SAVE America Act!

🚨 BREAKING: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent has just found $100 MILLION IN FRAUDULENT PAYMENTS that would've otherwise gone to deceased people

Bessent says there might be $500 BILLION in total fraud 🤯🤯

If the Biden admin were still in power, the $100M would've been PAID AND LOST.

"President Trump issued an executive order for us to be able to go to the Do Not Pay to have it interact with the Treasury payment systems."

"And as a result, so far we've saved about $100 million payments that didn't go to deceased people. And that would have gone out. We think that there's up to $350 million that we can stop before the end of this year."

"And that goes along with the vice president's task force on eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in the government. The GAO estimates that it might be, this number might be up to $500 billion, which is about 1.66 percent of GDP!"

"So that could go a long way towards paying down the debt, providing more services. And this is just the start."

Imagine this: you get paid by our tax dollars and you don’t even show up to do your job when it involves our tax dollars being stolen.

A new shot literally regrows knee cartilage.

Researchers at Stanford Medicine have identified a novel strategy to regenerate articular cartilage in knees and potentially prevent or treat osteoarthritis (OA).

The method targets 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), an age-related enzyme—or "gerozyme"—that accumulates in aging tissues and drives degeneration.

In aged mice, small-molecule inhibitors of 15-PGDH, delivered systemically or via intra-articular injection, promoted cartilage thickening and regeneration of functional hyaline articular cartilage.

This occurred without recruiting stem or progenitor cells; instead, existing chondrocytes underwent transcriptional reprogramming to a youthful state, with reduced populations of inflammatory and hypertrophic/degradative cells and expanded matrix-producing articular chondrocytes.

The inhibitors also reversed natural age-related cartilage thinning, improved joint function, and—when administered after simulated ACL injuries—strongly mitigated post-traumatic OA progression and associated pain.

Human OA cartilage explants from total knee replacements responded similarly in vitro, showing decreased degradation markers and evidence of new articular cartilage formation.

Given that an oral 15-PGDH inhibitor has already completed Phase 1 safety trials for age-related muscle atrophy, the findings open a path toward disease-modifying, regenerative therapies that could delay or obviate the need for joint replacement surgery.

Woman who lives in Virginia says her county alone has over 50 Data Centers and now they are being asked to conserve both power and water

“Our temperatures are about to hit an average of 120° across the state, but you want us to preserve water and power so the data centers can run, and we're going to be the ones fitting the bill for all that power that gets used up”

She’s absolutely correct I verified that parts of Virginia are sending conservation requests to residents

For those that don’t know how bad it is in Virginia

Data Center Alley alone in Northern Virginia hosts the world’s largest concentration of data centers, around 600–685 facilities with many more planned

Things are only going to get worse
