ILHAN OMAR: “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked was during World War ELEVEN.”
Yep, that’s what she said.
WORLD WAR ELEVEN.
Why are we giving US citizenship to third worlders with subzero IQs??!
THIS HAS TO END!
In the 1860s, cottonseed oil was classified as toxic waste.
This is not hyperbole. Cottonseed oil, the oil pressed from the seeds of the cotton plant, was a byproduct of the American textile industry. The cotton was processed for fibre. The seeds were left over, in enormous quantities, and the oil they contained was considered a useless and mildly poisonous industrial residue.
It was bitter. It contained gossypol, a natural toxin that had been used experimentally as a male contraceptive. It was unfit for human consumption in its raw form. It was used to lubricate machinery and fuel lamps until petroleum displaced it even from those applications.
Procter & Gamble, in the 1870s, had been experimenting with vegetable oils in their soap manufacturing. The cottonseed surplus was cheap. They found a use for it.
In 1907, they acquired the rights to a German chemical process called hydrogenation: the forcing of hydrogen into liquid oil under heat and pressure, with a metal catalyst, to produce a solid fat. The initial aim was better soap. The result looked like lard.
That was the commercial insight.
They patented it as a food product. They named it Crisco: short for "crystallised cottonseed oil." They launched it in 1911 with a marketing campaign of considerable ingenuity, positioning it not merely as a cooking fat but as a modern, scientific, pure alternative to lard and butter. Pure because it was plant-derived. Scientific because it was chemically processed, which in 1911 still read as innovative rather than alarming.
They published a cookbook, The Story of Crisco, and distributed it to American households. Sales were 2.6 million pounds in 1912. By 1916, Americans were buying 60 million pounds annually.
A waste product had become a pantry staple.
By 1948, the American Heart Association was a small, financially struggling organisation. In 1948, it received a substantial donation, approximately $1.7 million, equivalent to roughly $20 million today, that transformed it into the most powerful cardiovascular health body in the country.
The source of that transformation was Procter & Gamble. The AHA, newly resourced and national in ambition, became the institutional voice for dietary guidance on heart disease.
In 1961, they issued their first formal dietary recommendation: replace saturated animal fats with polyunsaturated vegetable oils.
The makers of Crisco now had the American Heart Association recommending their product category as heart-healthy.
Ancel Keys, whose cherry-picked fat hypothesis had been looking for institutional credibility, joined the AHA nutrition committee the same year.
The dietary guidelines that followed: the guidelines that are still, in their essential conclusion, the guidelines of today, were developed in an environment in which the world's largest vegetable oil producer had seeded the most influential heart health body with $20 million.
Nobody mentioned the conflict of interest.
Nobody mentions it now.
The toxic waste is still in your kitchen.
It's called vegetable oil.
The heart on the label was paid for.

Let's check in on Gerald the Planet Killer.
Gerald is a four-year-old Hereford cross in a field near Ledbury. He weighs about 600 kilograms. He has been busy this morning.
6:14am - Woke up. Began destroying the planet by eating grass.
7:02am - Continued environmental catastrophe by walking slowly toward the water trough.
8:45am - Committed a war crime against the atmosphere by exhaling.
9:30am - Did a pat. In a field. Where it will become part of a complex nutrient cycle that has been running successfully since before humans existed.
11:00am - Grazed a section of meadow, inadvertently aerating the soil with his hooves, spreading seeds in his dung, creating habitat for dung beetles, and sequestering carbon through the root systems his grazing stimulates.
Noon - Had a lie down.
The scientists monitoring Gerald's methane output have calculated that this methane, derived from grass pulled from British soil, is part of a carbon cycle that has been net neutral for ten thousand years of continuous cattle domestication.
They have not been asked to present this finding anywhere.
Gerald is unavailable for comment. He is destroying a particularly threatening patch of ryegrass on the south side of the field.
Someone stop him.
India caught Jane Street manipulating its markets and kicked them out. China caught accounts abusing its paper silver markets, and immediately closed the accounts. Congratulations, America, you have the most obviously corrupt ""markets"" on the face of the planet. Worse than India's. Worse than China's.
This isn't "price discovery" for silver, but blatant price SETTING which is illegal. Or supposed to be.
Apparently, we've lost the ability to hold anybody who has money accountable for anything. This is end-of-empire clown show type stuff here.
Prediction: The losers in charge will only figure out how important trusted and functioning capital markets are once we lose them. But, of course, they will have their fat Panama Papers offshore accounts to console themselves with.
Robinhood agreed to a $2 million settlement for misleading you about how it makes money.
The firm they were routing your orders to this whole time was Jane Street.
Jane Street paid Robinhood $76 million in a single quarter for the right to be on the other side of your trades. Every time you hit buy or sell, your order gets routed directly to them before it ever reaches an open market.
Your cut in the settlement to make things right: $17.60
That’s just for trades from 2016. Not a bad fee considering they can continue to do this today
There was a rule that would’ve fixed this. The SEC’s order competition rule would’ve forced your trades into open auction before any wholesaler could touch them. Estimated savings for retail would have been $1.5 billion/year.
The new SEC chair killed this in June 2025. It didn’t need a vote or public input, it was just withdrawn.
You thought you had a free trading app but everything comes at a cost
Soap is the first American sitcom I can remember laughing at, although for some reason I didn't catch this scene until somebody sent it to me a couple of years ago. It's much seen but my God it's good.
Enjoy.
