President Donald Trump and hemp industry lobbyists are hoping to win a final vote on Capitol Hill next week to skirt a ban on intoxicating products — with shutdown politics as leverage.Nine months ago, Congress cleared a bill to close a loophole created in 2018 that allowed the sale of some hemp-derived products containing types of THC colloquially known as “diet weed.” That ban is supposed to take effect in mid-November, or roughly 11 weeks, to limit overall THC levels in hemp products that can get people high — including gummies, canned drinks, pills and vapes.But Trump and industry leaders…

Lucky Charms marshmallows and Trix puffs are no longer getting their neon look from petroleum-based dyes. General Mills said Wednesday that every cereal it sells in the United States is now made without those certified colors, the Associated Press reported. The Minneapolis company is using colors from fruit, vegetables, and spices such as turmeric and paprika instead. The change covers their full U.S. cereal lineup, not only the two best-known kids’ brands. Bethany Quam, president of General Mills’ cereal business, said the company is “evolving with consumer needs while continuing to offer food that tastes great, delivers quality and provides…

U.S. Central Command confirmed Thursday that American forces have cleared Iranian sea mines from the Strait of Hormuz’s internationally recognized shipping lanes, opening the critical waterway to growing commercial traffic while a U.S. naval blockade has stopped Iranian oil exports entirely since mid-July — a dramatic shift President Donald Trump says has left Tehran “begging to make a deal.” CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper called the breakthrough a “major milestone,” providing the military’s most detailed confirmation yet of a months-long operation that has dismantled one of Tehran’s principal sources of leverage: its ability to threaten international shipping through Hormuz while…

Tech-sector titans do not have the right to replace endless American college graduates with unlimited inflows of migrants, says Harmeet Dhillon, the top-ranking civil rights official in President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. “This administration will not allow American employers to discriminate against American workers,” Dhillon posted Thursday night on X.  “It is illegal, wrong, and bad for our economy,” she added. The post came shortly after South African immigrant Elon Musk aligned himself with Silicon Valley investors and other employers who insist they have a right to hire foreigners they deem “most qualified,” even if they also sideline many…

More than 1,400 foreign diplomats and government officials asked for asylum from 2019 to 2023, says Christopher Landau, who serves as Marco Rubio’s top deputy at the State Department. “Let that sink in: people who were allowed to enter our country on behalf of a foreign government claimed that they must be allowed to stay because they faced persecution BY THAT VERY GOVERNMENT,” Landau said in an August 26 post. The requests added up to “systemic abuse of our asylum system,” he said. RELATED VIDEO — JD Vance Calls Out Democrats Defending Sharia Law: Foreigners can get the hugely valuable prize of American…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. Far left Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman is getting dragged on Twitter/X for bragging about a ‘fixed’ crosswalk in the city. She mentions in her tweet that the city received a complaint about the crosswalk in late 2025 and then happily announces that it just got completed, so that’s only about nine months, right? Nine months, to do this: The Los Feliz Neighborhood Council alerted our office in late 2025 to the need for a crosswalk at Sunset Dr. and Bates St., which has just been completed! Thank you to our incredible CD4 Field Team…

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and U.N. General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock are under fire for honoring a Hamas terrorist leader who worked for schools funded by the notorious U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).  The U.N. refused to apologize on Tuesday, shrugging off the terrorist’s inclusion as an innocent mistake. The U.N. held an annual service in June to memorialize employees who died during the previous year. The event, which was attended by Guterres and Baerbock, featured the lighting of a candle dubbed the “eternal flame” while the names of 136 fallen U.N. employees were read to the sound of a mournful violin. One…
