Is Your Baby Formula Safe? Florida Finds Heavy Metals in 16 of 24 Top Brands

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most parents who purchase baby formula trust that if the product is on the supermarket shelf, it must be safe for their child, but according to findings from the Healthy Florida First initiative, many of the top formula brands tested positive for heavy metals.

The state-led program, spearheaded by Governor Ron DeSantis (R), first lady Casey DeSantis, and Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo through the Florida Department of Health, aims to build a healthier Florida through independent testing and publication of contaminants in everyday foods.

On a recent episode of “Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz,” Horowitz interviewed Casey DeSantis about what Florida’s health initiative uncovered about 24 top-selling baby formulas and what parents can do to ensure that their children are receiving the best nutrition.

A Consumer Reports investigation released in March 2025 found potentially harmful levels of heavy metals, including arsenic and lead, in some of the 41 baby formulas tested. Around the same time, HHS and the FDA announced Operation Stork Speed, which increased testing for heavy metals and contaminants, reviewed nutrient standards, and strengthened oversight of infant formula safety.

Despite this initiative, DeSantis says that according to infant formula testing conducted by Florida’s Department of Health, “there hasn’t been much change at all.” (Read more from “Is Your Baby Formula Safe? Florida Finds Heavy Metals in 16 of 24 Top Brands” HERE)

Daughters of Irishman Held by ICE Say Father Abandoned Them and Should Return to Face Drug Charges: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The estranged twin daughters of an Irishman who has been held in a Texas immigration detention facility for nearly five months blasted their father as an absentee parent — arguing he should be sent back to Ireland to face long-standing drug charges, according to a report.

Heather and Melissa Morrissey felt compelled to speak out after their father, Seamus Culleton, pleaded on RTÉ radio for Irish authorities to intervene in his US detention so he could return to his American wife and life in Boston, where he runs a construction company, according to the Daily Mail.

The twins, who are about to turn 19, told the outlet that Culleton “abandoned” them when they were 18 months old, leaving their mother, Margaret “Maggie” Morrissey, to raise them alone.

“I feel that we were born and he just up and left. He did abandon us. That’s what he did,” Heather told the outlet about her father, who Department of Homeland authorities said overstayed his 90-day tourist visa more than 15 years ago.

The sisters said they have not received “a penny” in child support from their father and never saw him in person again after he moved to the US. (Read more from “Daughters of Irishman Held by ICE Say Father Abandoned Them and Should Return to Face Drug Charges: Report” HERE)

Hillary Admits Biden’s Migration Was ‘Disruptive and Destabilizing’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s easy-migration policy “went too far … [and was] disruptive and destabilizing,” Hillary Clinton admitted to a European meeting of national security officials and influencers.

“Migration has been a huge flash point,” Clinton told a meeting in Munich of U.S. and European politicians and security officials. She continued:

We need to call it for what it is, a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration. It went too far. It’s been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders.

Clinton lost the 2016 election largely because of the impoverishing and alienating migration policies favored by President Barack Obama.

But Clinton then tried to blame Trump for the flashpoint created by establishment-tied Presidents, including her husband, President Bill Clinton, and especially by Obama.

NBC Apologizes for Calling Female Skier ‘She’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Olympic skier at the center of a “misgendering” scandal has not publicly claimed to be offended. But one media outlet is apologizing profusely anyway.

Swedish skier Elis Lundholm competed in freestyle skiing women’s moguls on Wednesday but believes she is a man.

According to the Associated Press, Lundholm was “assigned female at birth and identifies as a man.”

However, the Swedish ski team also told the outlet the athlete does not take any hormonal treatments and has not had any surgeries.

While Lundholm finished 25th in the competition, NBC accidentally ensured her broader coverage by allegedly misgendering her. Website Outsports covered the apparent outrage, relaying the remarks from the NBC/Peacock color commentator during the event. (Read more from “NBC Apologizes for Calling Female Skier ‘She’” HERE)

Father Goes Nuclear on School Board After Teachers Sent His Son to ICE Protest

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A father who posted a video of himself pulling his son out of a “walkout” protesting operations by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tore into the Highline School Board in Washington state on Wednesday.

Hundreds of students in the Seattle-area school district took part in the Feb. 2 walkout, some of whose parents backed the protest, according to the Seattle Times. Vance Glawe, who drove to the protest to pull his son, a seventh-grade student at Cascade Middle School, out of the event, confronted members of the school board with fiery remarks during his two-minute address.

“My name is Vance Glawe and on the afternoon of February 2, 2026, my 14 year old child called me. He was not at school. He was not sick. He was in the middle of White Center, Washington, in the middle of a protest that was organized for his middle school,” Glawe told the members of the board during their Wednesday meeting in video that went viral when it was posted on X by LibsofTikTok.

Glawe, who is a content creator who goes by “Modern Ragnar 1.0” on multiple social media sites, was dressed in a suit as he addressed the board, before claiming the board violated state law, and he declared his intention to sue.

“RCW 28A 600035, by allowing them to leave and under Initiative 2081, the parental Bill of Rights, I have the right to know where my child goes,” Glawe said. “That was taken from me. I was not given notice. I was not given an email. I was not given a call. You exposed him to real danger. That’s neglect and that’s endangerment.” (Read more from “Father Goes Nuclear on School Board After Teachers Sent His Son to ICE Protest” HERE)

Epstein Paid Reputation Firms to Suppress Child Sex Offenses Online

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jeffrey Epstein tapped online reputation management firms to bury negative coverage of his 2008 sex offense conviction and flood the internet with favorable content in a years-long effort to rehabilitate his public image.

Companies and individuals were either hired or submitted detailed action plans for the project, with fees as high as $12,500 per month, according to hundreds of pages of emails and documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice last month. These companies, to varying degrees, offered to target news articles highlighting the financier’s status as a sex offender, edit his Wikipedia page, and pump out fluff pieces seeking to highlight his philanthropy that would skew search engine results, the documents show.

“Nothing for me more important,” Epstein wrote to an associate in 2010, instructing him to find a reputation management firm. At other points, he said he needs “someone to redo my Wikipedia” and asked friends for advice on his “Google issues.”

The documents expose the murky ecosystem of reputation laundering where obscure firms, often undaunted by clients’ unsavory histories, charge for the technical expertise needed to reshape public image online. Epstein sought to sanitize his digital footprint as he continued to cultivate relationships with billionaires, academics and public figures, betting that a cleaner online presence would smooth his return to the upper echelons of society. The proposed strategies also show how Epstein leveraged philanthropy to whitewash his reputation.

At the center of the strategy was Al Seckel, an optical illusions expert and brother-in-law of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Seckel, who died in 2015, acted as a fixer and laid out a strategy for what amounted to a search engine optimization arms race to drown out reports relating to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for child sex offenses.

I Witnessed Epstein’s Post Mortem. His Death Must Be Reinvestigated

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jeffrey Epstein’s cause of death should be reinvestigated, a doctor present at the paedophile’s post mortem examination has said.

Dr Michael Baden is unconvinced by the finding of the New York Medical Examiner’s Office that the financier took his own life while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019.

“My opinion is that his death was most likely caused by strangulation pressure rather than hanging,” the pathologist, who was hired by Epstein’s estate, told The Telegraph.

He said: “Given all the information now available, further investigation into the cause and manner of death is warranted.”

Dr Baden did not carry out the post mortem but was present during the examination, acting as an observer on behalf of Epstein’s family. (Read more from “I Witnessed Epstein’s Post Mortem. His Death Must Be Reinvestigated” HERE)

RFK Jr. Admits ‘I Used to Snort Cocaine Off of Toilet Seats’ While Discussing Germs

/0 Comments/in , /by

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted to snorting cocaine off toilet seats while recounting his past drug abuse and decades of recovery.

The 72-year-old revealed during Thursday’s episode of “This Past Weekend with Theo Von” that he had met the comedian during recovery meetings that were held before the COVID-19 pandemic.

That gave the HHS chief an opening to remark that he was “not scared of a germ — I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.”

“Like, if I don’t, if I don’t treat it — which means for me going to meetings every day — it’s just bad for my life,” Kennedy said of his addiction and recovery journey.

Von and Kennedy both lived in the Los Angeles area and were introduced at a 7 a.m. recovery meeting that got shut down during the pandemic. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Admits ‘I Used to Snort Cocaine Off of Toilet Seats’ While Discussing Germs” HERE)

Corey Lewandowski Fired Pilot for Leaving Kristi Noem’s Blanket on Plane as Sources Say Pair ‘Spending Nights Regularly’ Together

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Corey Lewandowski fired a Coast Guard pilot for leaving Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s blanket on a plane — but was forced to rehire them upon realizing there was nobody else to fly the party home, according to a stunning new report.

Lewandowski, an unpaid special government employee who unofficially acts as chief of staff for Noem — with whom he’s had a years-long affair — has overseen a reign of terror over department workers since President Trump took office last year.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Noem had to switch planes during an official trip due to a maintenance issue, but her blanket was not moved to the replacement aircraft.

Lewandowski fired the pilot and told them to find a commercial flight home when they reached their destination, only to reinstate them due to the lack of a backup.

The report did not specify when or where the incident occurred.

A spokesperson for DHS did not deny the story to the Journal, but said Noem has “made personnel decisions to deliver excellence.” (Read more from “Corey Lewandowski Fired Pilot for Leaving Kristi Noem’s Blanket on Plane as Sources Say Pair ‘Spending Nights Regularly’ Together” HERE)

Microsoft AI Boss: Most White-Collar Jobs Will Be Automated Within 18 Months

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI, has predicted that AI will be capable of automating the vast majority of white-collar professional tasks within the next 12 to 18 months.

The Financial Times reports that Mustafa Suleyman, who leads Microsoft’s AI division, has made a bold prediction about the near-term impact of AI on white-collar professions. In an interview with the Times published this week, Suleyman stated that he expects most, if not all, tasks performed by white-collar workers will be fully automated by AI within the next 12 to 18 months.

According to Suleyman, AI systems will achieve human-level performance across a wide range of professional duties. “I think that we’re going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks,” Suleyman said in the interview. “So white-collar work, where you’re sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person — most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months.”

The Microsoft AI chief pointed to software engineering as an early indicator of this trend. He noted that developers are already using AI-assisted coding for the majority of their code production, representing a fundamental shift in how the work is performed. “It’s a quite different relationship to the technology, and that’s happened in the last six months,” he said.
