A MIDWESTERN DOCTOR: In the 1960s, under a project code-named Project 226, the sugar industry quietly paid a pair of influential Harvard nutritionists, led by Dr. Mark Hegsted, to review the evidence on heart disease. Their job was to dismiss the studies linking sugar to heart disease and to blame saturated fat and cholesterol instead.

AIS track of the Atlantic Asphalt before the New Orleans collision

I have to say that that trajectory looks way too controlled for it to be an "accident," unless accident is the term the stylistic journalism guides use for communism.  And in March 26, 2024, there was that tanker that slammed into Francis Scott Key Bridge that caused it to collapse at night with vehicle traffic overhead.  Here are some of the early reports on the collision.

July 22, 2026: Brandon Gill drills Michelle Behnke, President of the American Bar Association, on DEI in law school accreditation and the legal profession.

Michelle A. Behnke, President of the American Bar Association, ABA. This is from a July 22, 2026, House Oversight Committee Task Force hearing on DEI in law school accreditation and the legal profession, where Rep. Brandon Gill, R-TX, questioned her extensively on the ABA’s diversity positions, implicit bias claims, racial representation on the Supreme Court, transgender justices, and race in admissions. The video in the linked X post is a clip of that exchange. 

WILL TANNER: One thing that is self-destructive about the glorification of the cowboy as the personification of the American spirit, rather than the George Washington or Andrew Jackson-like frontier planter, is that the myth of the cowboy helped create the bureaucracy those cowboys despised.

One thing that is self-destructive about the glorification of the cowboy as the personification of the American spirit, rather than the George Washington or Andrew Jackson-like frontier planter, is that the myth of the cowboy helped create the bureaucracy those cowboys despised. Washington, Madison, Jefferson and Monroe, like Jackson and Polk, held office as a duty that their wealth supported. They were great men close to the frontier and accustomed to its rigors--Washington most of all, like Jackson later--but they also understood that they had a duty to lead as gentlemen once they were wealthy. For a time, that was the ultimate American, the blend of frontier courage and patrician bearing. That faded away into the cult of the cowboy, and the ideal American became the loner who owed nobody anything.

Naturally, that meant that the duty part of the equation went unfilled and the bureaucrats took over. Then they regulated the cowboy out of existence. 

SAMA HOOLE: The doughnut has been blamed for a great many waistlines. For 300 years it was fried in lard and eaten by people who dug canals by hand.

The doughnut is a lump of dough whose entire purpose was to be boiled in pig fat.

The Dutch brought it to New Amsterdam and called it an olykoek, an oily cake. Washington Irving described the settlers' tables in 1809: "balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog's fat". It is one of the first doughnuts in print, and the hog gets equal billing.

It was a slaughter-season food. A pig killed in November left a household with more fresh lard than it knew what to do with, and a kettle of it over the fire would turn flour and an egg into something a farmhand would cross a county for. In Catholic Europe the same thing happened in the last days before Lent, when the lard had to be used up. The Germans fried Fastnachts, the Poles fried pÄ…czki, and the day was called Fat Thursday.

In 1917, the Salvation Army sent women to the front in France who fried them in lard, seven at a time, and handed them to American soldiers standing in the mud. The men came home wanting doughnuts.

Then the shortening companies arrived with a cheaper fat made from cottonseed and a great deal of advertising, and the pig was written out of the recipe.

What is sold now is the same dough, fried in an oil that did not exist when the recipe was written, and glazed.

The doughnut has been blamed for a great many waistlines. For 300 years it was fried in lard and eaten by people who dug canals by hand.

HANNAH ARENDT: Exhaustion, not conviction, is the goal.

NATALIE WINTERS: Former Obama advisers are openly calling for foreign countries to pursue criminal cases against Secretary Hegseth. Their proposal: “quietly gather evidence” now and wait until Trump leaves office to issue indictments.

SOUND AND SOVEREIGN: So when you look at where the problems in this country really are, it is not a lack of government intervention. It's exactly the opposite. We look more like a corrupt politically managed economy than a free market. You don't need conspiracy theory. That was the point of their whole strategy.

 

In 1884, a group of British intellectuals decided socialism didn't need a revolution it just needed time they took their name from a Roman general who beat Hannibal by refusing to fight head on.  Wear the enemy down and do it slowly their strategy was simple don't storm the palace just move into it.  Write the policy.  Train the experts.  Advise the politicians.  Change the system one law at a time until one day you look up and everything's done.  And in Britain it worked.

In 1918, Sydney Webb, one of the leading Fabians wrote Labor Clauses Number Four.  It committed the party to common ownership of the means of productions, distribution, and exchange.   Thirty years later, Britain had nationalized the Bank of England, coal, the railways, electricity, and gas.  No gun fire.  Just legislation.  Now look at Europe today.  Governments across the EU spend about half their entire economies.  In France, 57% of GDP.  

And here's where it gets uncomfortable.  American never voted for socialism, but look at the trend.  The federal government alone now spends 23% of the entire economy, above the 50-year average.  With local and state, it's about 36%.  The Federal Register hit 107,000 pages in 2024 [Biden years], the most ever.   

And lobbying, a record 4.4 billion dollars in one year.  Now ask yourself, why would companies spend a billions on politicians?  Because it pays.  See, when the government decides who gets the contract, the subsidy, the bailout or the regulatory carve-out, the smartest investment is not a better product, it's a better relationship with the people who write the rules.  And people look at that and say, "See, capitalism is failing us.  We need more government."  Nope.  That's not a free market . . . if you just took the time to learn instead of listening to the people trying to get your vote. In a free market, you win by serving customers better than your competitor.  Political favoritism has nothing to sell because politicians have nothing to hand out because they don't produce.  You know where the road to the top ran through the politicians?  The Soviet Union.  They even had a name for it: the nomenklatura.  It was the party's list of who got the key jobs, the bigger apartments, the better stores not by merit but by access.  So when you look at where the problems in this country really are, it is not a lack of government intervention.  It's exactly the opposite.  We look more like a corrupt politically managed economy than a free market.  You don't need conspiracy theory. That was the point of their whole strategy.  You win the  ideas, you win the institutions, you never need to win a revolution.

And the Fabian symbol?  A tortoise.  It didn't need to be fast, it just needed us not to notice.  So maybe it wasn't the Fabians that took over America, maybe it was their method and they did it right under our noses.

SAMA HOOLE: Histamine builds up in meat as it sits. Bacteria make it out of one of the amino acids in the muscle, quietly, from the day the animal is cut up. It has no smell and no taste, and cooking doesn't touch it.

If carnivore gives you headaches, a flushed face or a pounding heart at three in the morning, the trouble is usually the age of your meat, and nobody selling dry-aged steak is going to tell you. Histamine builds up in meat as it sits. Bacteria make it out of one of the amino acids in the muscle, quietly, from the day the animal is cut up. It has no smell and no taste, and cooking doesn't touch it. Your gut clears it with an enzyme, and some people make very little of that enzyme. Women are hit more often than men, and it tends to show itself around the menopause. For them an old piece of meat is a dose. Alcohol blocks the same enzyme, which is why a glass of red with an aged steak is the worst of all worlds. What a dose looks like: - Flushing or a hot face after eating - A headache an hour later - Itchy scalp, itchy skin - A blocked nose at the table - Heart thumping in the small hours - Loose and urgent, for no reason Where it's highest: - Dry-aged steak, 28 days of it on purpose - Anything in a slow cooker for eight hours - Leftovers on day three - Mince off the reduced shelf - Bacon, salami, cured ham - Old cheese, tinned fish Where it's lowest: - Meat cooked the day it was cut - Fresh mince, straight from the butcher's mincer - Anything frozen quickly and defrosted fast - Butter, cream, fresh cheese - Eggs The test takes a fortnight. Fresh meat only, cooked fast, leftovers into the freezer the same night instead of the fridge. If the headaches and the flushing go, you have your answer, and you can add things back one at a time until you find your line. Most people have no line at all. I eat cold beef out of the fridge at 11pm and sleep like a log. But plenty of people decide meat doesn't agree with them, when what didn't agree with them was Sunday's stew on a Thursday.

They went back to salad over it. The cow was innocent. The calendar did it. 

SEC of STATE, MARCO RUBIO: America is not a government. America is not a president. America is not a Congress.

BREAKING: Atlantic Asphalt, 2017, Collides with the 2015 American Heritage on the Mississippi River near the Port of New Orleans.

MB reports, 

A pleasure ship rolled on her side docked in the Chicago River in 1915, 850 people died. Mostly women and children. 

But to a few details about this collision.  On November 13, 2026, the tanker Atlantic Asphalt collided with the docked American Heritage (a ~295-foot luxury paddlewheel vessel with about 129 passengers plus crew aboard) on the Mississippi River near the Port of New Orleans. The impact caused the riverboat to list, partially submerge, and roll onto its side while passengers were disembarking. All were accounted for (described as a “miracle on the Mississippi”), with 32 people hospitalized for non-critical injuries and no fatalities reported.  

Arthur Jags adds that, 

Potentially yes. The registered owner and operator Nave Shipping S.A and Thome Ship Management Pte. Ltd. Thome has over 30,000 crew members from over 50 nationalities, however Indian is in the top 2 nationalities of its crew makeup, alongside Filipinos.

SAMA HOOLE: The cow hands back B12, haem iron and fat filtered by her rumen. The sardine hands back EPA and DHA, the omega-3 your brain is partly built from, which your body makes from plant oil at a trickle.

The best argument for eating a sardine is the one vegans use against it: fish only get their omega-3 from algae. True. And a cow only gets hers from grass. The cow eats grass, which you can't digest. The sardine eats plankton, which you couldn't even catch. The cow grazes a hillside nobody can plough. The sardine grazes open sea nobody can farm. The cow runs it through four stomachs. The sardine runs it through a sieve in its gills. Neither needs a sack of feed, a sprayer or a field of soya. The cow hands back B12, haem iron and fat filtered by her rumen. The sardine hands back EPA and DHA, the omega-3 your brain is partly built from, which your body makes from plant oil at a trickle. Whales, gannets, tuna and dolphins all live off that service. The vegan alternative is to skip the fish and grow the algae directly. The algae in the sea make their oil from sunlight. The algae in the capsule are a microbe kept in a steel fermenter in the dark and fed glucose syrup, then refined, deodorised and sealed in a shell. The sardine did the same job in the open sea, for nothing, and threw in the protein, the calcium and the vitamin D.

Cutting out the middleman only makes sense when the middleman is charging you.

MARK MORGAN: He is back in the White House, Carl, because of what Biden did and if he joins the Democrats with this, Carl, it's going to be one of the greatest abandonments of a presidential promise to the American people in modern day history.

Mark A. Morgan, Carl Higbie, and Terry Daniels.

Mark A. Morgan served as the Chief Operating Officer and Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection from July 5, 2019, to January 20, 2021.  Morgan had a long career in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, culminating in appointments as head of the Inspection Division and Training Division. He then served as chief of the United States Border Patrol under President Barack Obama as the first person to be appointed to that post from outside the Border Patrol; he resigned a few days after the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Morgan returned to government when he was announced as Trump's pick to be acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), where he served from May 28, 2019, until he moved to Customs and Border Protection.

TRANSCRIPT

De-incentivize the largest incentive, meaning let's stop allowing people coming here illegally and work illegally.  So how about e-verify.

I thought that was a thing.

It's not.  It's not.  There is no National e-verify.  In fact, the Republicans will not push HR-2 forward.

CARL HIGBIE:  What's HR-2?

 MORGAN:  HR-2 is the strongest piece of border security legislation that's ever been proposed.  But guess what?  The Senate Republicans are saying, "No, we're not even going to push it forward unless we drop e-verify." 

CARL HIGBIE:  The funny thing about that is the immigration policy is like the one thing that pulled overwhelmingly positive even among Democrats.

MORGAN:  Yeah.  Look, Carl, we are in a very challenging time and what I'm about to say does not bring me solace.  I voted for President Trump three times and after we saw the disaster of the four years of the Biden Administration the Democratic party it was very clear they believed in open borders; they believe in complete disregard for a migration system, and we've seen Sanctuary policies time and time again where they actually put the rights and well-being of illegal aliens over the protection of their own citizens.  And now after we took this massive loss in the midterms, you have Republicans scrambling around trying to say "Oh, it was our harsh strategy on immigration," and you have them talking about amnesty. and, Carl, here is the part that really is hard for me to say.  We saw the President on 60 Minutes talk about amnesty.  He is back in the White House, Carl, because of what Biden did and if he joins the Democrats with this, Carl, it's going to be one of the greatest abandonments of a presidential promise to the American people in modern day history.   I hope he doesn't do it.  

CARL HIGBIE:   He's come out, though, pretty strong and said "Hey, hey, that's not what I meant at all."

MORGAN:  but Carl . . .

I got to go with Mark on this one Carl like this is a huge issue and this is an issue that people put Trump in the White House to deal with and I think he's dealing with it but not to the extent that the American voters wanted dealt with.

CARL HIGBIE:  Well, we got Steven Miller now, and I think he's going to start ramping this stuff up because that's like his Numero Uno issue.

American Soldier Reviews Procedure with Veterans at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier @ Arlington National Cemetery. 

ASRA NOMANI: One tactic that these activists use is called "bird dogging," deliberately seeking out public officials and pressing them with questions to get a response or commitment often on camera . . . many a times to shame them . . . and other times to humiliate them.

Jodie Evans, Co-Founder, Codepink and People's Forum, wife to Neville Roy Singham, tycoon living in Shanghai, supporting the Chinese Communist Party and the New World Order of Xi Xingping.   

People's Forum has received 22.44 million from Neville Roy Singham.  

This is Madea Benjamin who is another co-founder of Code Pink.  The Collection here are the people who are part of the campaign one of the the important issues that lawmakers have underscored is that they have alleged that these activists are Trojan horses for foreign influence including the Chinese Communist Party.

Code pink has received 1.33 million from Singham.

 Because Neville Roy Singham is one of their donors they have Associated the agenda of code pink activist to the Chinese Communist Party we are going to be following code pink through the day and their actions on Capitol Hill.

On Capitol Hill, the activists move through the halls of Congress for something that they called a "Taxpayer Uprising," 3 days of demonstrations demanding "No More Money for War."  Their organizing page lists 54 organizational signatories and 16 featured activists, commentators, personalities, and influencers.  One tactic that these activists use is called "bird dogging," deliberately seeking out public officials and pressing them with questions to get a response or commitment often on camera . . . many a times to shame them . . . and other times to humiliate them.

But watch what happens when I turn my camera on them.  Rania Khalek, a host at Breakthrough News, a propaganda outlet funded by Neville Roy Singham, screamed in protest at being recorded.  She didn't welcome our camera either.

Breakthrough BT Media, Inc. has received 1.098 million from Neville Roy Singham.

And Medea Benjamin who has spent years confronting lawmakers grew angry when I asked her questions why should you care these groups want to influence how Washington spends your money many of them including code pink breakthrough news and people's forum benefit from tax exempt status their anger matters because they demand public accountability while resisting scrutiny themselves and trying to humiliate anyone who would ask them any questions what ends up occurring over the course of their confrontations with lawmakers is an effort by them to put a spotlight on their questions.  But when they get asked questions, they run.

Rania Khalek's angry outburst was filmed and posted to Breakthrough News Instagram account, turning her confrontation into content for her followers to celebrate, a tactic that experts describe as agitation propaganda, designed to stir emotions and mobilize supporters.  And sure enough her followers applauded her behavior, one of them calling it "a wonderful display of psychic militancy."  

I am a journalist with opinions, yes, and I am very upset that you come here to harass people and you're constantly smearing them.  Are you a journalist?  You call this journalism, smearing activists and labeling them and justifying genocide?  You're actually on the side of government shutting down free speech.  --Rania Khalek

GREGORY K. BOVINO: Black gangs are stepping up against illegal immigration, sharing intel and support. It's a complex landscape that reveals much about community resilience. They know they were replaced by illegal aliens and they wanted their communities back.

Oh, look, the illegals looking for legitimacy. ICE, call your office.
