Meanwhile. . . . . . . . . . . . . . in the real world. Congress Joins RFK’s Crusade Against Big Pharma by Robert McGreevy A bipartisan group of congressional lawmakers introduced a bill Monday to eliminate a tax deduction pharmaceutical companies receive for direct to consumer (DTC) advertising. The No Handouts for Drug Advertisements Act would remove a tax benefit that currently allows the pharmaceutical industry to write off advertising expenses related to advertising on television, radio, social media and other platforms, according to Republican North Carolina Rep. Greg Murphy’s press release. A group of four bipartisan lawmakers introduced the bill: Murphy, Republican Alaska Rep. Nick Begich, Democratic Minnesota Rep. Angie Craig and Democratic Michigan Rep. Hillary Scholten. https://dailycaller.com/2025/04/30/rfk-crusade-big-pharma-direct-consumer-advertising-congress-greg-murphy/ ,

Black Woman Coming Back to America After Finding Out Africa is Worse by Alec Johnson As you know, it’s very difficult to be a minority in the modern United States of America. The U.S. is widely known for being among the most hostile countries in the world for anyone who is not white, for gay people, for trans people, for religious minorities, and for all women. Except it’s not because that’s the opposite of the truth. It is breathtaking how American citizens who enjoy the highest standard of living and the most legal freedom in the world believe they are living in an oppressive authoritarian regime. And they really do seem to believe it. Modern feminists get dolled up in Handmaid’s Tale costumes to protest the “misogyny” of the U.S.. What’s the misogyny, where’s the hatred of women? Why, it’s in any law that restricts any woman from having an abortion at any time. Outlaw third trimester abortions? Misogyny. And for black people? It’s never been worse. Sixty-one years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and black people are held down harder and more cruelly than ever before. Sure, they have full legal enfranchisement, they’re picked for college admissions and granted professional jobs preferentially over more qualified white candidates, but someone actually arrested some black people for brawling in Waffle House. https://wokespy.com/black-woman-coming-back-to-america-after-finding-out-africa-is-worse/

https://www.foxnews.com/travel/haunting-slave-ships-found-off-coast-national-park-300-years-later-very-convincing HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ? I thought White Americans 'invented' slavery. Archaeologists recently made a startling discovery: They found that two 18th-century shipwrecks off the coast of Central America were actually two Danish slave ships. The ships, named Fridericus Quartus and Christianus Quintus, are located in shallow waters off Costa Rica's Cahuita National Park. The 18th-century vessels were shipwrecked in 1710, according to the National Museum of Denmark. "Fridericus Quartus was set ablaze, while Christianus Quintus had its anchor rope cut, following which the ship was wrecked in the surf," the museum's press release noted. "Until now, it has not been clear exactly where the ships were lost."

PepsiCo to remove artificial ingredients from popular food items by end of 2025 Ashley J. DiMella Heeding the call to ban artificial ingredients by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., PepsiCo isn’t wasting any time getting started. Ramon Laguarta, PepsiCo Inc. chair and chief executive officer, said in an April 24 conference call that the company will reduce artificial ingredients and has already begun doing so, as Food Business News reported. “We’ve been leading the transformation of the industry now for a long time on sodium reduction, sugar reduction and better fats,” Laguarta said. “Sixty percent-plus of our (portfolio) today doesn’t have any artificial colors,” he said — and the company is “undergoing that transition.” Laguarta cited examples such as Lay’s and Tostitos https://nypost.com/2025/04/29/business/pepsico-to-remove-artificial-ingredients-from-popular-food-items-by-end-of-2025/ Thank you, RFKJ!! .

This is NUTS: Secretary Rubio just announced that he found DOZENS of files kept by Joe Biden's State Department that classified American citizens as "vectors of disinformation" — with the intention of censoring them. That's not all. Marco Rubio says that there's someone in President Trump's cabinet meeting RIGHT NOW that was being monitored. "There's at least one person at THIS TABLE TODAY who had a dossier in that building..." Joe Biden's administration was corrupt ALL THE WAY THROUGH!

Not weird at all, that you misunderstood completely.

HISTORICAL IGNORANCE IS PART AND PARCEL OF LEFTISM: Republican Slams Dem’s ‘Disgustingly Ignorant’ Holocaust Comparison in Battle Over Immigration Bill. A Republican Colorado state representative who came to the U.S. legally and is descended from a Holocaust survivor slammed his Democrat colleague for comparing President Donald Trump’s recent deportations of illegal aliens to the Nazis rounding up Jews. State Rep. Lorena Garcia, a sponsor of the immigration bill SB 25-276, spoke in a hearing on the bill Monday, condemning the Trump administration for “disappearing people” and comparing his deportations to the Holocaust. “We have to stand up and fight against the Trump administration disappearing people,” she said. “We have been down this road before, committee. We have seen what happens when an authoritarian government decides to ignore the Constitution, and that resulted in the Holocaust. And to even pretend that there is anything different, then I encourage you to pick up a history book.” “It’s disgustingly ignorant to what actually transpired in the 1930s,” state Rep. Ron Weinberg, a Republican, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Tuesday. “Having a grandmother who barely survived Auschwitz, her brother being shoved into an oven and her parents being shot dead in the street in Germany by a tyrannical regime—I can tell you this coming out of her [Garcia’s] mouth is just ignorance.” https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/04/29/disgusting-legal-immigrant-descended-holocaust-survivors-slams-democrat-comparing-trumps-deportations-hitler/

Gee, I guess that you forgot all the posts that you made about Trump voters 'regret' Meanwhile: Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins Drops All Charges Against Beleaguered South Dakota Ranchers By Ward Clark Government overreach has always (and will always) be a problem, but the Biden administration seemed more than willing to take it to the next level. Overregulation was piled on overreach was piled on overzealous enforcement, and there can be no better example of this than the case of Charles and Heather Maude. The Maudes are South Dakota ranchers who had a dispute over land that had been leased by the Maudes for grazing, and instead of sitting down and talking with the Maudes, the Biden Department of Agriculture filed criminal charges. We originally brought you the story last September. That ordeal for the Maudes is over. On Wednesday, the Trump administration's Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, announced that all charges against the Maudes have been dropped. This un-American sentiment, this claim to a right to rule without recourse, is also precisely the prerogative that some bureaucrats under the Biden regime decided to assert, and their targets were an innocent and unimpeachable American farm and ranch family, the Maudes of South Dakota, who join us here today. This family, targeted solely over what should have been a civil dispute over grazing rights over 25 acres of government land, was prosecuted, credibly threatened with jail sentences, so extreme that they were told to find alternatives to raise their young children. Charles and Maude live on a 5th-generation family farm in Pennington County, South Dakota, close to Mount Rushmore. There, they farm 400 acres. They raise about 250 head of cattle, and about 40 sows. This dispute - and there was, legitimately, some confusion over the status of the 25 acres and the exact boundaries between that acreage and the Maude family land - should never have come to this in the first place. In a sane world, this would have been resolved by having one or two Department of Agriculture officials come out, sit down with the Maudes, make sure everybody understood and agreed to a solution to the dispute, and arrive at a mutually agreed-upon survey of the property boundaries. Instead, the Biden administration threatened the Maudes with jail time. The Biden administration threatened to break up the Maude family, to effectively orphan the Maude children. And all of this is over a dispute over 25 acres of grazing land. This is the same administration, mind you, that allowed millions of unscreened, unvetted, illegal immigrants to flood into the United States. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/04/30/secretary-of-agriculture-brooke-rollins-drops-all-charges-against-beleagured-south-dakota-ranchers-n2188516

Back to the thread. Army quietly pursues massive digital overhaul expected to save at least $89M: ‘Dealing with stuff that was for 25 years ago’ by Ryan King The US Army has been quietly working on an initiative to bring its digital infrastructure into the modern era, ditching decades-old systems and planning to save taxpayers about $89 million starting on Oct. 1. The Army’s tech shop began “aggressively” reevaluating its internal systems in November and drafting plans to consolidate dozens of workflow, case management and other internal tools into a simplified suite of programs. “It’s not the usual, hey, we’re going to take two years to study this problem, and then sometime in ’28 we’ll reorganize https://nypost.com/2025/04/29/us-news/army-quietly-pursues-digital-overhaul-expected-to-save-89m/
