I have long known that fluoridating water was a terrible idea, but I have been reluctant to write or even discuss this fact with people because the expert consensus was that anybody who opposed it was a kook. Remember this scene from Dr. Strangelove? It perfectly encapsulates the attitude of "experts" and the people who believe them about those who questioned fluoridation: they are insane.

So, here we are 75 years later and we find out that the John Birch Society was right all along. Makes you wonder what else they were right about.

When I told my dentist I didn't want fluoride in my water he bit my head off. I don't want ANYTHING in my water except h(2) and O. I said, It's already in my toothpaste. Why do I have to drink it? Plus I don't eat toothpaste so if it's a topical application why do I have to drink it? He answered Blah blah blah...

Calley Means is an incredible woman. Tucker did a podcast with her and the information will stun you. Did you know legislators are trying to add Ozempic to the list of approved drugs for Medicaid? At $1500 a shot Americans will be thinner but we’ll be broke. I’ve listened to it twice.

Except for the 13 years we lived on our farm and had a well, I’ve probably been drinking fluoridated water my entire life. Is this why I now have osteoporosis?

I don't trust the government adding anything to food or water but how can anybody determine that fluoride is the culprit in lowering the IQ of children when so many other things are doing it as well? Try taking a cell phone away from a child when he is in the middle of a game or a tik tok video.

The New York Post and The Free Press offered new reporting Tuesday night and Friday morning on the continued fallout and outrage and subsequent modern-day Struggle Sessions directed at CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil for the alleged crime of asking leftist icon Ta-Nehisi Coates probing questions about his virulently anti-Israel book. Among the new findings are that a tear-eyed Dokoupil said he “regretted” making his colleagues feel uncomfortable, a private meeting with his co-hosts (former NFL player Nate Burleson and Oprah best friend/Kamala Harris and Obama donor Gayle King), a meeting with DEI consultant was scrapped given his racist and far-left politics

MADISON, Wis. — Justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court said Wednesday that Gov. Tony Evers’ creative use of his expansive veto power in an attempt to lock in a school funding increase for 400 years appeared to be “extreme” and “crazy” but questioned whether and how it should be reined in. “It does feel like the sky is the limit, the stratosphere is the limit,” Justice Jill Karofsky said during oral arguments, referring to the governor’s veto powers. “Perhaps today we are at the fork in the road ... I think we’re trying to think should we, today in 2024, start to look at this differently.”

Far-left CBS News is proving itself to be every bit as corrupt and dishonest as CNN. In just one week, the former news outlet has publicly shamed one of its own anchors for asking the objectively reprehensible Ta-Nehisi Coates a couple of challenging questions about his antisemitic book. Then CBS’s former news program 60 Minutes was caught rigging its interview to make sitting Vice President Kamala Harris sound nearly coherent. Below is the video CBS This Morning co-anchor Tony Dokoupil is getting publicly reamed for, as he’s forced to take part in CBS struggle sessions until he expresses his “regrets”:

TAMPA, Fla. — Hurricane Milton made landfall Wednesday along Florida’s Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm, bringing powerful winds, deadly storm surge and potential flooding to much of the state. Milton drew fuel from exceedingly warm Gulf of Mexico waters, twice reaching Category 5 status. The cyclone had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (205 kph) as it roared ashore near Siesta Key, a prosperous strip of white-sand beaches about 70 miles south of Tampa, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said. The Tampa Bay area has not taken a direct hit from a major hurricane in more than a century but the storm was still bringing

Private Harris campaign polling shows Vice President Kamala Harris is in a lot of trouble, political analyst Mark Halperin said on The Morning Meeting with Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine. Despite Harris being up three points nationally according to the New York Times poll, Halperin said he sees her support as precarious. While highlighting key states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, where Harris’s polling deteriorated, Halperin explained that the Wall Street Journal reported that Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s (D-WI) campaign shared negative polling with the paper, indicating broader implications for Democratic candidates in Senate races linked to Harris’s performance. The consensus was that Harris faces significant risks in multiple battleground

Few living Americans have stood longer against government persecution for their freedoms than Colorado baker Jack Phillips. He has been repeatedly targeted under Colorado anti-discrimination law for adhering to his Christian faith. At long last, his third legal saga is over after the Colorado supreme court on Tuesday rejected the latest lawsuit against him on procedural grounds. After twelve years, Phillips is free of the courts. We can only hope he stays free — and that his fellow citizens will, too. The end of the current round of persecution of Phillips is cause for celebration but not for unbridled joy. This is America.

Toyota Motor Corp. is reportedly shifting away from DEI initiatives and pro-LGBTQ events following recent online backlash, according to a new report. Bloomberg reported that the company sent a memo to its US employees last week, stating it will “narrow community activities to align with STEM education and workforce readiness” and will no longer participate in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. A week before, anti-woke activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck highlighted several progressive initiatives within Toyota, including financial support for groups opposing laws that ban gender transition treatments for minors, establishing Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) based on race and gender orientation

Minnesota governor Tim Walz on Tuesday reiterated his support for abolishing the Electoral College and switching to a national popular vote as the sole means of electing presidents and their running mates. While campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris on the West Coast, Walz suggested at two different fundraisers that he would prefer to focus on winning votes across the country rather than concentrate on key battleground states that could sway the upcoming presidential election as they have done in the past. “I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go.

Hurricane Helene has devastated parts of Georgia, east Tennessee and particularly western North Carolina. The death and destruction it dealt to unprepared mountain communities has been catastrophic. More than a week later, roads are still closed, thousands lack electricity, and hundreds of people are missing amid an unimpressive response from federal and state governments. So leave it to Politico to ask the big question: Is this good for the Democrats? “The parts of western North Carolina and eastern Georgia that were flooded by the monster storm are largely Republican,” the outlet noted. “In 2020, [Donald Trump] won 61% percent of the vote in the North Carolina counties that were declared

Hezbollah said Tuesday it is now ready to engage in cease-fire talks with Israel, after suffering serious blows to its leadership and ranks in recent months. The terror group in Lebanon made the announcement after firing more than 100 rockets at the Jewish state hours earlier. Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general, Naim Qassem, publicly endorsed a truce with Israel, the first such time the terror group has proposed a cease-fire not conditioned on the war in Gaza. “We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” Qassem said, according to a CNN translation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Tuesday that Hezbollah’s intended replacement of its former leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed late last month, has also been "taken out." "Today, Hezbollah is weaker than it has been for many, many years," Netanyahu said in a message tailored directly to the "people of Lebanon." "We’ve degraded Hezbollah’s capabilities, we took out thousands of terrorists, including [former Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah himself, and Nasrallah’s replacement, and the replacement of his replacement."

New Zealand’s navy has suffered its first peacetime ship loss since World War II when the $100 million multi-role support vessel HMNZS Manawanui ran aground off the southern coast of Upolu Island, Samoa, caught fire and eventually sank—triggering an environmental disaster in the process. With all 75 passengers and crew evacuated, the vessel’s loss brings fresh scrutiny to the leadership under its openly lesbian commanding officer, Commander Yvonne Gray. The Manawanui, originally built in Norway and repurposed for New Zealand’s Royal Navy with a substantial $103 million investment, was conducting a seabed survey mission when it hit a reef, according to maritime news outlet gCaptain.

Supporters of former President Donald Trump were ecstatic to hear that Vice President Kamala Harris could leave the country if he wins next month's presidential election. Harris didn't specifically say she would jump ship, but rather didn't answer the question directly when it was posed Tuesday by radio host Howard Stern. Stern, a vocal Democrat and Harris supporter, had asked the Democratic nominee: 'If he wins, God forbid, would you feel safe in this country? Would you stay in this country?'

President Biden uses a vulgar nickname for former President Donald Trump when the Democrat speaks about his predecessor in private, according to a forthcoming book. “That f—king a—hole” is how Biden, 81, refers to Trump, 78, behind closed doors, CNN reported Tuesday in a preview of Bob Woodward’s tome “War,” out next week. In public, Biden usually refers to Trump in roundabout ways, such as “my predecessor” or “the former guy” — when the incumbent deigns to mention the 45th president at all. The president’s hot temper and penchant for profanity has been reported before, with Politico revealing in October 2021 that Biden regularly f-bombed West Wing aides in meetings,

Of all the results from the latest I&I/TIPP poll, the most unsettling has to be that voters think Kamala Harris is at least as much of a fiscal and economic conservative as Donald Trump. Our latest poll, taken of 997 likely voters, finds that more voters say they trust Harris (who’s already announced $4 trillion in tax hikes) than Trump to cut taxes by a 48%-45% margin. Among the crucial independent voters, the margin is even greater – 49% to 36%. That’s not all. More trust Harris to bring about energy independence, 48%-47%. Trump is essentially tied with Harris on growing

Democrats, who were once optimistic about the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris, are now feeling extremely nervous about the party’s decision to push President Joe Biden to step aside. Harris won exactly zero Democrat primary votes before her coronation and held one of the lowest approval ratings as a vice president in U.S. history. Only after the establishment media began writing about Harris in a positive way did her standing among the electorate appear to rise.Everything is deadlocked and the composition of the electorate is unknowable, and there are so many things that are unprecedented,” said Jamal Simmons, a Democrat strategist who served as Harris’s communications director until last year.
