Trump MAGA and Kennedy MAHA Join Forces

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that he was suspending his presidential campaign to join forces with Donald Trump’s race to the White House, he used the opportunity to trumpet the policy issues they would address: free speech, the Ukraine conflict, and “the war on our children.” Kennedy claimed the war on children is visible in the rapid decline of Americans’ health, especially that of children, who are experiencing higher rates of fatty liver disease, cancer, obesity, and mental health problems than previous generations. RFK Jr. fingered two chief culprits as causes: ultra-processed foods that “consist primarily of processed sugar, ultra-processed grains, and seed oils” and “toxic chemicals in our food, our medicines, and our environment.” Read More …

The Collateral Damage of Bidenomics: Animals

While on lockdown during the pandemic, shelter pets became the face of hope in a daunting and confusing time. Adoption rates skyrocketed.

Bharat Ramamurti, her campaign economic advisor, defended the proposal on CNBC, telling hosts it is comparable to property taxes and that revenues will be dedicated to proffering “more opportunities” to the American people.

Tulsi Gabbard Boards the Trump Train

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently used the term “unity government” to describe a potential future Trump administration. The independent presidential candidate also indicated that Trump might possibly “make a series of announcements with other Democrats who are joining his campaign… “ it appears he may have been correct. On Aug. 26, former Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard – who left the party two years ago – also endorsed Trump’s 2024 White House bid. Read More …
