UNHEARD OF IN RECENT TIMES:  This WaPo journalist does something that is rare in science journalism – she investigates and reports what she found even if it was not what she expected.

HER ARTICLE:  The debate over water fluoridation is far from settled.

AND THE FRAUD GOES ON:  The Democrat Bucks County Commissioners just voted to count misdated and undated mail in ballots to try and help Bob Casey and one of them straight up says that she knows it’s illegal but simply does not care.

THERE IS A REASON I CALL IT VOTE BY FRAUD:  A sickening peek into the election cheating process in an all-mail-voting state.

BRITAIN HAS GONE FROM 1984 TO KAFKA:  The journalist investigated for a tweet.

AND THIS IS HOW SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED WE ARE:  Houston Man Arrested For Allegedly Plotting Terrorist Attack On US Soil.

GO GET THEM:  Florida Attorney General Sues FEMA Director For Allegedly Discriminating Against Trump Supporters.

MORE THAN TIME. THERE WAS STILL PLENTY OF FRAUD. NOW IT’S TIME TO STOP IT. IF THIS ADMINISTRATION DID NOTHING ELSE, DOING THIS ONE THING WOULD BE THE SAVING OF THE COUNTRY:  Trump Proved Rigged Elections Are Winnable. Now It’s Time To Un-Rig Them.

A government that gets in through fraud has not reason to fear the public that can’t throw them out.

DON’T PISS OFF THE LATIN MOM:  Hispanic mom GOES OFF on teacher who had a meltdown in class after Trump won.

No, listen guys, trust me on this.

PEOPLE, IT’S TIME YOU STOP FALLING FOR THE PSYOPS:  Calm Down, Everyone. Matt Gaetz Had a Perfectly Good Reason for Resigning From Congress Immediately.

DEAR LORD!  No this isn’t a Monte Python skit.

CALM YOUR TITMICE:  Someone else has predicted a coup among military leadership who suspect they’re likely to be axed. I’m going to explain why this will not happen.

IF THEY UNDERSTOOD SECOND ORDER EFFECTS THEY WOULDN’T BE LEFTISTS:  Fallout.

THE PARTY OF NO FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY MIGHT HAVE TO PAY? OH, NOES!  Top Democrat officials worried tens of millions in Harris campaign debt could be their problem.

THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT WE’D LOVE AND ADORE THEM FOREVER….  The Biggest Blunder in the History of American Politics.

SO MANY RELIGIOUS BIGOTS OUT THERE ATTACKING CHRISTIANS NOWADAYS:

They're attacking Pete Hegseth for having a tattoo of the Jerusalem Cross, a Christian symbol that dates back to the 13th century.

These people are nothing but anti-Christian bigots. https://t.co/g7eKTLHpJJ pic.twitter.com/yR3XIGY0Bx

IS THERE ANYTHING HE CAN’T DO? Trump Is Shrinking Government Already!

Donald Trump is magic.

I’m not joking. There really is something magical about the power he has over the world. Any normal person would have been crushed by all the forces arrayed against him, but somehow, he has survived and thrived despite constant attacks.

Since his election, both Russia and Ukraine have changed their tunes about finding a negotiated settlement, the markets have breathed a sigh of relief, free market advocates have been giddy and talking about investing in the United States, pharmaceutical companies are running scared, and…government employees are talking about mass resignations! Ending wars is difficult. Getting career civil servants to leave the government is nearly impossible. That Trump can do it without firing a single person yet is miraculous.

And it’s only been a bit over a week.

THE SCIENCE HAS BEEN UNSETTLED: Study Finds Eggs Might Protect Brain Health And Lower Cholesterol. “For nearly half a century, people were advised to avoid animal products high in cholesterol, like eggs, butter, or cream, because these foods were thought to raise cholesterol levels in the blood, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.”

Of course, a lot of the concern about eggs was rooted in politics. “When egg prices rose in the spring of 1966 and Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman told him that not much could be done, Johnson had the Surgeon General issue alerts as to the hazards of cholesterol in eggs.”

PELOSI SOON TO RIDE THE ICE FLOE CLOSELY? House Dems sick of Pelosi.

Recriminations are flying over Democrats failing to take the House, with some members airing their grievances in a caucus meeting this week.

• Jeffries told members that “the buck stops with me.”

The bottom line: Some Democrats are clearly frustrated Pelosi isn’t fading into the sunset like she promised when she lost the gavel two years ago.

• “My advice to my fellow Democrats is simple: Follow the leader. Hakeem Jeffries has done a great job,” Pelosi said in 2023.

• “I understand that this is a difficult transition for her, not being the leader, but she is not,” the member of the Congressional Black Caucus told us.

• “She needs to understand what her new role is.”

Flashback: The Democratic Party’s Ice Floe Politics. “The next time a Democratic politician makes an anonymous observation about the age or vigor of a colleague with whom they disagree, be skeptical. The remarks are made to reporters as if in sorrow, but the message is about as subtle as a shiv in the prison yard.”

DEMOCRATS OPEN UP SECOND FRONT IN ITS WAR ON BAKERIES: Staten Island bakery customers batter Whoopi Goldberg for dubious claim that she wasn’t served due to her liberal views: ‘Bulls–t.’

New Yorkers aren’t letting Whoopi Goldberg’s sourpuss act spoil their favorite spot for sweet treats, after she put a local bakery on blast on national TV, alleging they refused to serve her because of her lefty political beliefs.

“I think it’s ridiculous. Why would she come all the way to Staten Island for her cupcake? To make an issue? They’ve been here forever,” Deborah Bernaz, 68, said of the comic’s claims against the beloved 145-year-old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island.

“I don’t think it has anything to do with politics. They’re a little Staten Island bakery. I think it’s bulls–t what she’s saying. Leave politics out of the bakery.”

Why are American leftists so obsessed with destroying the lives of bakers?

I don't think Whoopi survives this. pic.twitter.com/4G91QUSrlt
