Avoid These Foods Right Now — the 10 ‘Really Risky’ Items Causing Illness, According to Consumer Reports

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .While food poisoning can have many sources, certain foods can make mealtime seem like playing intestinal roulette.

A new survey by Consumer Reports has named the 10 riskiest foods in the US based on their recalls and track record of making people sick. . .

The stomach-churning report comes following a 41% increase in food recalls due to “possible contamination with salmonella, E. coli, and listeria in 2024 compared with the year before,” CR reported. Meanwhile, confirmed cases of foodborne illness soared by 20 percent while associated hospitalizations and deaths more than doubled from the same time last year.

At the top of the food poisoning pyramid was deli meat, which resulted in 165 illnesses and 87 hospitalizations due to listeria. This innocuous-seeming sandwich staple makes consistent appearances on CR lists due to its frequent handling and the fact that listeria bacteria are frequently found at processing plants and on deli counters. . .

Cucumbers can put one’s stomach in quite a pickle. According to CR, salmonella found in this healthy-seeming veggie torpedo was responsible for over 664 reported illnesses and 173 reported hospitalizations in 2024. Thankfully, no deaths were reported. . .

Raw milk and raw cheese made the food poisoning pantheon with over 182 illnesses and 29 hospitalizations due to E. coli and salmonella collectively. The culprits were unpasteurized milk products from Raw Farms, which resulted in an outbreak due to salmonella in milk and cream, and another caused by E. coli in raw cheddar cheese.

So That’s the Real Reason Those Democratic Lawmakers Went to El Salvador

/2 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Four Democratic lawmakers, including Reps. Maxwell Frost (FL), Robert Garcia (CA), Maxine Dexter (OR), and Yassamin Ansari (AZ), traveled to San Salvador to urge the El Salvadoran government to free Abrego Garcia.

But it appears that’s not the only reason they took the trip, according to a Daily Caller exclusive report.

A source told the outlet that the lawmakers “Stayed at the Hilton San Salvador, a luxury property situated against a picturesque backdrop of the capital city’s volcano.”

The San Salvador hotel boasts rooms with scenic views of the capital city’s landscape and an outdoor terrace where guests can enjoy margaritas and dine on local culinary treats, including made-to-order pupusas. The hotel is described as providing a “tranquil retreat” for “those seeking comfort and convenience,” according to Hotels.com. Google rates the property as a five-star hotel.

House Republicans’ campaign arm sharply criticized the four Democrats for taking a “tropical vacation” during a congressional recess period when lawmakers are given time to spend in their district.

“House Democrats booked their tropical vacation to El Salvador in the lap of luxury,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Ben Petersen told the DCNF. “While the American people suffer the consequences of the Biden Border Crisis importing illegal immigrant crime and fentanyl, these Democrats demonstrated again they are completely out of touch with voters.”

We are in a constitutional crisis.

I’m in El Salvador to shine a light on Kilmar’s story and keep the pressure on Donald Trump to secure his safe return home.

So, This Is What Ryan Routh Was Planning to Do After Assassinating Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ryan Routh, the second person suspected of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump, reportedly sought to use a human smuggler in Mexico to help him flee the country.

Headline USA’s Ken Silva reported on Tuesday that the Justice Department released a text message exchange between Routh and a man called “Ramiro.” One of the conversations involved Routh trying to get Ramiro to help an Afghan family seek asylum in the United States under former President Joe Biden.

The Justice Department has released text messages between Ryan Routh and an alleged human trafficker in Mexico about smuggling Afghans into the U.S. last year—arguing that such evidence should be presented to a jury as part of Routh’s larger plans to assassinate Donald Trump last September.

The DOJ included the text messages in a Monday court filing, responding to Routh’s motion to suppress evidence of his human smuggling activities. According to Routh’s attorneys, Routh’s discussions with a Mexican smuggler identified as “Ramiro” have nothing to do with the DOJ’s case against him. Those discussions occurred in February 2024, about seven months before his alleged attempt on Trump.

The DOJ said on Monday that the February 2024 text messages would provide crucial context for a jury about how Routh planned to flee the country if his attempt on Trump were successful.

“The February chats show that Routh intentionally sought out a professional smuggler who specialized in clandestine migrant crossings as part of his plan to flee the United States post-assassination,” DOJ lawyers argued. “The point here is that Ramiro is the human smuggler, and that Routh appealed to Ramiro in hatching his (Routh’s) escape plan. The February and September communications should, therefore, be admitted in their entirety as direct evidence of the Defendant’s guilt.”

‘Sick’: Trump Wants Biggest Media Pollsters Investigated for Election Fraud, Including Fox News

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald Trump says pollsters for major media companies including the New York Times, Washington Post and Fox News should be investigated for election fraud, as he expresses outrage at recent surveys about his approval rating.

In a Monday message on Truth Social, Trump stated: “Great Pollster John McLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS.

“The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are.

“These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD, and add in the FoxNews Pollster while you’re at it. They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose (sic) a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse.

Gay Ex-FBI Agent Who ‘Battled’ J6ers Comes Outta the Closet With Big News

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The FBI used to be respected. Now it’s a punchline.

And honestly, guys like John Sullivan are exactly why. This is a man who spent 17 years working for a corrupt, politicized agency, proudly pushing the same tired propaganda that’s destroyed public trust in law enforcement. And now, after “serving in secret,” he’s stepping out of the shadows to run for Congress—complete with a dramatic video where he casts himself as some kind of homosexual Marvel-style hero who battled Russia, terrorists, drug cartels, and yes… the so-called insurrectionists of January 6.

Never mind the facts, right?

Never mind that the FBI and Supreme Court both agreed there was no insurrection on January 6. That doesn’t matter to John…

Former Judge, Wife Arrested for Allegedly Harboring Illegal Tren de Aragua Member in Their Home

/7 Comments/in , , /by

A recently resigned New Mexico judge and his wife were arrested in a federal raid on their family home Thursday, after it was revealed they harbored an accused member of Tren de Aragua, according to a report.

Former Democratic Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Jose “Joel” Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, each face two charges of evidence tampering for allegedly harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez — an accused illegal migrant who federal officials say is a member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Fox News reported.

“Under President Trump, we have arrested over 150,000 aliens — including more than 600 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told the outlet.

On Feb. 28, Ortega-Lopez, 23, was apprehended during an ICE raid at the judge’s tony Las Cruces, NM, residence where the suspected gangbanger lived in a guesthouse after first ingratiating himself as a handyman, Fox News reported citing court documents.

Earlier this week, the Supreme Court of New Mexico permanently banned Cano from serving on the bench due to the February arrest of Ortega-Lopez. The judge had resigned from the bench in March.

What Did Pete Buttgieg Just Say About Adopting Non-White Kids?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had an awkward slip of the tongue. It was that or he tried to be fast and loose with Andrew Schulz and company when discussing his family, claiming that adopting black kids comes at a discount. He quickly clarified before saying there was no deposit. The former mayor and 2020 presidential candidate, along with his husband, have adopted fraternal twins, which is how this topic came up, along with a lecture about race in America.

I’m adopted, and I have two white parents—this ‘how do I raise my kids that are racially different than me’ bulls**t never came up. And when you focus on that, which is what all Democrats do because they’re race-obsessed, you end up being cringy, getting offended about everything, and flat-out saying some pretty offensive stuff, like ‘them black kiddos come at a discount because America—bad, or something.’

Here’s the Perfect Solution for Sending Joe Biden’s Hordes of Illegal Voters Back Home

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democrats accuse President Donald Trump of being no better than Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean dictator, who in the 1970s is believed to have “disappeared” hundreds of his political opponents. Like Pinochet, they contend, Trump “disappeared” — or, more accurately, kicked out of the country and sent home — the aliens who came illegally to the United States under Joe Biden’s Cloward and Piven open borders free-for-all. Trump has even told them to self-deport.

Telling people to go home is the 2025 version of “disappearing” people, according to Democrats.

Democrats and their go-to judges now resist Trump by demanding that illegal aliens receive special legal hearings before he can kick them out of the country. If he fails to do their political bidding, they threaten to impeach him again if they capture the House in 2026.

Happily, there’s a middle path both sides can agree on. Since Democrats said not a peep about the unvetted hordes of humanity streaming over our Southern border for four years, said nothing about the stacks of passports from unfriendly countries left on Mexican soil, allowed unchecked fake “families” to traffic children into sex slavery, and then gave these hordes court dates years into the future that would be attended by no one, then an obvious and acceptable compromise is before us.

As whip-smart PJ Media readers may know, the Democrats’ latest cause célèbre is the “Maryland father” and alleged MS-13 gangster who illegally crossed the border and told immigration officials that he can’t go back home because a rival gang might do him harm.

How Much Chicken You’d Have to Eat a Week to Increase Your Risk of Dying by 27% — It’s a Lot Less Than You Think

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Chicken has long been lauded as a healthy alternative to red and processed meats, which have been linked to diabetes, heart disease, and several cancers.

But a new study has found a clucking scary link between chicken consumption, overall mortality, and gastrointestinal cancer — and you don’t have to eat that much to experience negative effects.

In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO)’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared that red meat — such as beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, horse, and goat — is “probably carcinogenic to humans,” while poultry was left off the table as a risk factor.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans defines chicken as a “noble food” because it is high in protein and lower in fat than other animal meats. The DGA suggests a standard poultry portion of 100 g and recommends eating it one to three times per week.

However, Italian researchers recently found that people who eat more than 300 grams of chicken per week, or just under four servings, are 27% more likely to die from any cause than those who eat less than 100 grams (a little over one serving).

Tim Walz Official Who Caused $21,000 In Damages To Teslas Will Face No Charges: Prosecutor

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. An employee in Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration will pay the owners of Tesla vehicles that police say he vandalized to avoid criminal charges, an attorney and prosecutor’s office announced Monday.

The office of Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said it will pursue “pre-charge diversion” instead of felony charges against Dylan Adams, a fiscal policy analyst for Walz’s Department of Human Services, Fox 9 reported. Video footage shared by police appeared to show Adams keying six Tesla vehicles around town, marking a trend of attacks stemming from outrage against Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s politics, Minneapolis police said Thursday.

Minneapolis Police on Thursday claimed that Adams caused more than $21,000 in damages to the Teslas. Moriarty’s office warned that “criminal prosecution remains a possibility should [Adams’s] unlawful behavior continue.”

“Our main priorities are to secure restitution for the victims and hold Mr. Adams accountable,” the attorney’s office told Fox 9. The statement said pre-charge diversion “is an approach taken in many property crime cases and helps to ensure the individual keeps their job and can pay restitution, as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses.” (Read more from “Tim Walz Official Who Caused $21,000 In Damages To Teslas Will Face No Charges: Prosecutor” HERE)

____________________________________________

By Patrick Reilly. A progressive district attorney has declined to charge the state employee in Tim Walz-led Minnesota who was allegedly caught causing $20,000 damage by vandalizing half a dozen Teslas — a decision the local police chief ripped as the latest betrayal of victims.

The suspected vandal, 33-year-old Minnesota government employee Dylan Bryan Adams, was allegedly spotted keying the vehicles and stripping their paint off while out walking his dog around the city.

Despite what police believe to be evidence of Adams committing felonies, Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty will seek diversion rather than criminal charges.

“This is an approach taken in many property crime cases and helps to ensure the individual keeps their job and can pay restitution, as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses,” the attorney’s office said in a statement, CBS News reported.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at the time of the incident that the damage in each case was the equivalent of a felony. The chief said in a scathing statement on Monday that Moriarty’s decision not to bring charges is frustrating for his officers and the public. (Read more about this Tim Walz official HERE)
