Veterans in Congress Wash Vietnam War Wall for Memorial Day

Several veterans currently serving in Congress — from both sides of the aisle — joined together to wash the Vietnam War Memorial ahead of the Memorial Day holiday honoring fallen service-members.

CBS News’ “Face the Nation” shared video of the project on Sunday, showing several members of Congress who served in different branches of the military as they hand-washed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

“Democrat, Republican, black, white, brown, none of that matters,” Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) said. “It just matters that we’re all Americans.”

Waltz and Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) also spoke with “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan about the “divide” between the 99% of Americans who have never served in the military and the 1% who have. Calling that chasm “deeply problematic as a democracy,” they told Brennan that they have been working together to find better ways to recruit more young Americans to serve.

Trump Seeks ‘Partnership’ at Libertarian Convention (VIDEO)

Former President Donald Trump urged Libertarian Party members on Saturday to support his campaign in the 2024 election this November.

During his remarks at the Libertarian Convention in Washington, D.C., which drew some boos from people in the audience, Trump said he was asking for a “partnership” to defeat President Joe Biden.

“Combine with us — you have to combine with us,” Trump said, eliciting some boos from people in the audience. “We cannot give Crooked Joe Biden four more years.”

Trump urged the Libertarian Party to nominate him, suggesting they would be stuck getting up to 3% support in the election otherwise. He also pledged to “put a Libertarian in my Cabinet” and in senior posts.

‘Let’s Make Some News Tonight!’: Trump Drops Hints To Reporter About His Running Mate (VIDEO)

Presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump dropped hints to a New York local reporter Thursday about his future running mate.

Trump stuck around after his historic rally at Cortona Park in the South Bronx to speak with News 12 political reporter Tara Rosenblum. Trump named a few potential picks for vice president after addressing former 2024 Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s Wednesday announcement that she will be voting for the former president for the first time on film.

“A big night last night, Nikki Haley making her first public remarks since dropping out of the race. She said that Joe Biden has been a catastrophe and she said that she’s voting for you. I’m sure those were welcome remarks for you, but it also left a lot of people wondering, is there room for her on your team or better yet, your ticket?” Rosenblum asked.

“Well, I think she’s going to be on our team because we have a lot of the same ideas, the same thoughts. I appreciated what she said,” Trump told News 12. “You know, we had a nasty campaign. It was pretty nasty. But she’s a very capable person, and I’m sure she’s gonna be on our team in some form. Absolutely.”

Trump named four potential running mates, including former 2016 Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson, Republican Florida Rep. Marco Rubio, Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik. Each individual listed has made recent public or media appearances aligning themselves with Trump.

Why Are We Consuming Engine Lubricant?

In today’s world, where lies spread by our enemies are rampant and the mainstream media often fails to provide accurate information, I have found solace in the esoteric health wisdom of the dissident internet. Like many of you the scamdemic has only reinforced my belief that the mainstream medical establishment is largely not to be trusted and I have found that seeking alternative sources of information has led me to make some of the best decisions for my health. One such decision was to remove industrial seed oils from my diet, and the results have been nothing short of transformative. With this simple move I’ve dropped 30 pounds, removed all the inflammation in my body, and feel better and stronger than ever.

To understand why seed oils are bad for you, it is essential to first understand their history. Seed oils, such as soybean, canola, and corn oil, were first introduced in the early 20th century as a response to the growing demand for cheap, mass-produced vegetable oils. These oils were initially used in margarine production as a substitute for animal fats, which were more expensive and harder to produce. However, the process of extracting these oils is far from natural. Seed oils are derived from seeds that are not naturally oily, such as soybeans, corn, and cottonseeds. To extract the oil from these seeds, they must first be treated with harsh chemicals, such as hexane, a neurotoxin that is also used in the production of glue and paint thinner. The seeds are then subjected to high temperatures and pressure, which further degrades the quality of the oil.

The Origins of Canola Oil

Canola oil, one of the most common types of industrial seed oils, has a long and storied history that is often overlooked by those who consume it. Originally developed in Canada during the 1970s, canola oil was derived from the rapeseed plant, which had long been used as a source of oil for various industrial purposes.

One of the most notable uses of rapeseed oil was as a lubricant for diesel engines. The oil was prized for its ability to withstand high temperatures and its low freezing point, making it an ideal lubricant for engines operating in harsh environments.

Despite its origins as an industrial lubricant, canola oil was eventually transformed into a food product through a series of genetic modifications and chemical processes. Through selective breeding, scientists were able to create a new strain of rapeseed with lower levels of erucic acid, a toxic compound that made the oil unsuitable for human consumption. Once the new strain of rapeseed was developed, the oil was subjected to a series of chemical processes, including degumming, bleaching, and deodorizing, in order to remove any remaining impurities and make it more palatable for human consumption. Inspect the packaging of the foods you are consuming and you’ll find that this Frankenstein engine lubricant is in just about everything you eat.

Why Seed Oils Are Bad for You

The consequences of consuming these highly processed, chemically extracted oils are numerous. One of the most significant issues with seed oils is their high concentration of omega-6 fatty acids. While omega-6s are essential for our health, the Western diet is already heavily skewed in favor of these fatty acids, with a ratio of around 20:1 of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. This imbalance can lead to chronic inflammation, which is at the root of many modern health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.

In addition to their high omega-6 content, seed oils are also highly unstable and prone to oxidation. When exposed to heat, light, or air, these oils can break down into toxic compounds, such as free radicals and lipid peroxides, which can damage cells and contribute to the development of cancer and other diseases. Furthermore, seed oils have been linked to a host of other health problems, including obesity, insulin resistance, and impaired brain function. These oils can also interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are crucial for maintaining optimal health.

What to Replace Seed Oils With

If seed oils are so detrimental to our health, what should we be using instead? The answer is simple: natural, unprocessed fats. Fats that have been used by humans for thousands of years, such as olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and animal fats like butter and lard, are far superior to the industrial seed oils that have become ubiquitous in the modern diet. These traditional fats are rich in nutrients, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, and are less prone to oxidation, making them a much healthier option for cooking and consumption. Additionally, these fats are often rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help to counterbalance the excess of omega-6s in the Western diet and promote overall health and well-being.

Removing industrial seed oils from my diet has been hands down the best thing I have ever done for my health. The journey to discovering the truth about these oils has been a long and winding one, but the results have been more than worth it. By seeking out alternative sources of information and trusting in the wisdom of the dissident internet, I have been able to take control of my health and make informed decisions about the foods I consume.

It is no secret that our enemies want us weak, sick, and distracted. They know that a strong, healthy, and mentally sharp population is much harder to control and manipulate. The promotion of seed oils as a “healthy alternative” to traditional fats is just one example of the many ways in which our enemies are actively working to undermine our health and well-being. By filling our diets with these harmful oils, they are able to keep us in a state of chronic inflammation, which weakens our immune systems, impairs our cognitive function, and makes us more susceptible to a wide range of diseases and health issues.

The ultimate goal of our enemies is the destruction of our nations and the replacement of our people with those who are more easily controlled and manipulated. By keeping us sick, weak, and distracted, they are able to accelerate this process and ensure that we are unable to resist their plans.

The promotion of unhealthy foods, such as seed oils, is just one aspect of this larger strategy. By keeping us in a state of poor health, they are able to make it easier for them to bring in millions of foreign migrants who will replace us in our own countries. They know that a sick, weak, and distracted population is less likely to stand up and fight against this invasion, making it easier for them to carry out their plans.

The Importance of Taking Control of Our Health

In order to resist the plans of our enemies and protect our nations, it is essential that we take control of our health and well-being. By removing harmful substances, such as seed oils, from our diets and replacing them with natural, unprocessed fats, we can strengthen our bodies and minds, making it more difficult for our enemies to control and manipulate us.

It is crucial that we become aware of the ways in which our enemies are actively working to undermine our health and well-being and take action to counteract their efforts. By educating ourselves about the dangers of seed oils and other harmful substances, we can make informed decisions about the foods we consume and take control of our health and well-being—and eventually take back our homelands for the glory of God.

Oregon Sees 13th County Vote to Secede, Join Idaho as ‘Greater Idaho’ Gains Steam

Another rural county has voted to break off from blue-state Oregon and join its red-state neighbor by reconfiguring the state border, the latest victory for the grassroots movement called Greater Idaho.

Crook County voters approved by 53-47% the Greater Idaho resolution asking if they want to enter into negotiations to relocate the border, according to unofficial results from Tuesday’s election.

The vote made Crook the thirteenth county to approve the measure, a proposal rooted in frustration with the Democrat-controlled Legislature dominated by Portland and coastal lawmakers with little knowledge or appreciation of the priorities of eastern residents.

Mike McCaw, Greater Idaho executive director, said the “voters of eastern Oregon have spoken loudly and clearly about their desire to see border talks move forward.”

“With this latest result in Crook County, there’s no excuse left for the Legislature and governor to continue to ignore the people’s wishes,” he said. “We call on the governor, speaker of the House, and Senate president to sit down with us and discuss next steps toward changing governance for eastern Oregonians, as well as for the Legislature to begin holding hearings on what a potential border change will look like.”

Joe Biden’s Latest ‘Racist’ Comment Is Low Even for Him

President Joe Biden made an eyebrow-raising comment about his former boss, President Barack Obama.

During a prominent dinner with Kenyan President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto, Biden appeared to pull out the race card, leaving the audience confused.

The 81-year-old president made a puzzling remark about Obama, saying ““Jill and I are honored to have you here and we’re representing… including many members of the African diaspora. One just left — Barack…”

. . .

His comments come as Biden is focusing his attention on winning back black voters ahead of the November election. A recent New York Times/Siena poll found that Biden is losing black voters to former President Donald Trump. The Republican candidate is currently winning 20 percent of the support from black voters— which, according to the NYT, would be the highest level of Black support for a Republican presidential candidate since the Civil Rights Act was enacted in 1964.

You Have to Be an Exceptionally Bad President to Lose Silicon Valley

You must be a deplorable president to lose one of the most reliable bases of support for Democrats: Silicon Valley. Joe Biden lost these guys, which is pathetic. It’s a cadre of billionaire leftists who would fund any Democrat to the hilt. So, what caused so much love to be lost in one term?

They hate Biden’s policies that entail the reining of cryptocurrency and new tax proposals. Yet, overall, Biden is bad for business, which hurls a rock through the glass house narrative this administration has created regarding how they’re building the greatest period of economic growth known to man. Some have voiced support for Trump, others are hosting fundraisers for the former presidents, and others are bashing Biden on social media but stopping short of endorsing Trump in this year’s cycle. Either way, the tech sector and venture capitalism have seen enough of Joe’s Build Back Better (via NY Post):

Some Silicon Valley venture capitalists have begun to turn against President Biden while openly touting their support for former President Donald Trump — a sea change for an industry that has overwhelmingly supported Democrats in years past.

Prominent moguls such as David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, Marc Andreessen and Shaun Maguire have grown disillusioned with signature Biden policy proposals such as his call for a 25% “billionaire tax” as well as antitrust crackdowns waged by the Federal Trade Commission.

“It’s impossible to support Biden,” Keith Rabois, an early executive at PayPal who also played a role in the growth of LinkedIn, Square and Slide, told the New York Times.

[…]

Tech executives are also unhappy with the stringent regulations imposed on the cryptocurrency sector by Gary Gensler, Biden’s pick to head the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Mom Fined $88K After Kids Collect 72 Clams From Beach Thinking They Were Seashells

. . .A California mother was slapped with a fine worth $88,000 after her kids mistakenly collected clams — thinking they were picking up seashells — on the beach without a fishing license.

Charlotte Russ was on a family trip to Pismo Beach, known as the “Clam Capital of the World,” when she said her kids picked up 72 clams from the clamming hotspot during their getaway, according to ABC 7.

The Department of Fish and Wildlife confronted the mother of five and told her that her kids were collecting the clams without a license, and issued her a ticket.

“Right before we went, that’s when I opened it and that’s when I saw the amount,” Russ said

She later received a fine in the mail ordering her to pay $88,993 before a San Luis Obispo County judge knocked her fine down to $500. (Read more from “Mom Fined $88K After Kids Collect 72 Clams From Beach Thinking They Were Seashells” HERE)

Airline Facing ‘Rampant Abuse’ of Passengers Using Wheelchair Service to Skip Lines in Pre-boarding Process

Frontier Airlines passengers are abusing the company’s wheelchair service to skip the line and secure priority boarding on their flights, the budget airline claims.

“There is massive, rampant abuse of special services. There are people using wheelchair assistance who don’t need it at all,” CEO Barry Biffle said at a luncheon at the Wings Club in New York on Thursday, according to CNBC.

Frontier seating is based on a first-come-first-serve basis and those who request wheelchair assistance board the plane before other flyers.

Biffle says he has personally seen 20 people board a flight in a wheelchair but only 3 requested the assisted service when disembarking.

The Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 prohibits airlines from discriminating against people with disabilities and requires the companies to provide “safe carriage” including wheelchairs for the passengers to board the aircraft.

Trump Says He ‘Would Absolutely’ Rehire Former Aide Imprisoned by Biden’s DOJ

Former President Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that he “would absolutely” hire back a former aide whom President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) jailed.

A judge sentenced 74-year-old Peter Navarro to federal prison for four months after he defied a Jan. 6 congressional subpoena and Congress held him in contempt. Despite the sentencing, Trump told The WSJ that he would rehire Navarro should he return to the White House, to which Navarro said he wasn’t looking for work but would return “if the boss needs me.”

“I would absolutely have Peter back. This outrageous behavior by the Democrats should not have happened,” the former president told The WSJ.

Navarro added that he wasn’t interested in a pardon from Trump if he returns to the White House, but he wouldn’t change a thing about what he did.

“I have no regrets,” Navarro, who is two months into his sentencing, told the outlet. “I didn’t choose this fight; this fight chose me.” (Read more from “Trump Says He ‘Would Absolutely’ Rehire Former Aide Imprisoned by Biden’s DOJ” HERE)
