Potential artificial red dye ban: Products that could be affected

By Daniella Genovese  | Fox Business A wide range of foods will be affected if the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) moves forward with plans to ban artificial red dye. According to the Eat Well Guide (EWG) Food Scores database, nearly 3,000 food products on the U.S. market contain red dye 3, including candy, certain brands of mashed potatoes, yellow rice and some medications. The list also includes a range of other foods, including breakfast cereals, beverages and baked goods.  The synthetic dye, also known as erythrosine, is an additive made from petroleum that gives foods and drinks a bright cherry-red color, according to the FDA. It is already banned in the European Union, and starting in January 2027, it will also be prohibited in foods sold or manufactured in California.  ...

Inside Team Trump’s big bet on election integrity in 2024 and how it paid off

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller If the 2020 election taught the Republican National Committee anything, it was that in a new world of drop-boxes and ballot harvesting, they needed to rethink how they play the game. And if the 2024 election proved anything, it was that going big on election integrity and working with third-party groups to turn out votes worked. After 2020, nearly two-thirds of Republicans and Trump voters said they had little faith votes were counted accurately, according to one poll. That year, in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of election laws were changed and others were completely ignored in key swing states. Thanks to Democrat super lawyer Marc Elias, voters could use ballot drop-boxes, mail-in voting and early voting in states like Pennsylv...

How Pete Hegseth turned his Secretary of Defense confirmation fight around in 7 days

By Kristina Wong | Breitbart Just one week ago, Trump Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s confirmation appeared doomed after a barrage of hit pieces. However, after launching an intense campaign to defend himself, he now appears to be on a path towards confirmation. By last Monday, things did not look so good. No fewer than four hit pieces had dropped, one after another, just as Hegseth began to meet with senators responsible for confirming him. They were all based on anonymous allegations, some ten years old, but the pile-up became too much to ignore. Republican senators began expressing doubts. On Tuesday, December 3, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called the allegations “very disturbing.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO murder silent no more after outburst

By Christina Coulter , Audrey Conklin  | Fox News Luigi Mangione, the man charged with murder in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, broke his day of silence with an outburst as he was escorted into a Pennsylvania courthouse, where he challenged his arrest. "It's completely out of touch, and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and its lived experience," Mangione shouted, prompting his detail of about 10 officers to hurry him inside.  Dressed in an orange jumpsuit, Mangione appeared unfazed. He was seen whispering with his attorney, Thomas Dickey, glancing at reporters and mumbling to himself at the Blair County Court hearing around 2 p.m. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Sloan: Is the end of Assad the end of Obama foreign policy?

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Few tears, if any, will be shed for the demise of the Assad regime in Syria, save perhaps a few in Moscow and Tehran. The rapid success of the Syrian rebels last weekend took most everyone by surprise, not just the Biden administration to whom any world event not thoroughly discoursed upon The View or plastered on the front page of the New York Times apparently comes as a surprise.  The fall of the Syrian regime is a strategic boon for the U.S.A., even though the U.S.A. had little, if anything, to do with bringing it about. The survival of the brutish, terror-sponsoring regime in Damascus was made possible only by the will and backing of Moscow and, later, Tehran. Syria was the Soviet Union’s key middle eastern pr...

West: The false gods of Leftism

By Lt. Col. Allen West (ret.) | Commentary, American Civil Rights Union You often hear leftists rant on about the “separation of church and state,” with the goal being the separation of America’s Judeo-Christian faith heritage from itself. There can be no doubt that faith heritage played an integral part in the founding of our Constitutional Republic. What Thomas Jefferson really meant when he wrote that letter to the Danbury Baptist Convention of Connecticut was to calm any concerns that the Baptists had that the Presbyterians would be the official “religion” of America. Jefferson knew very well of the lesson from England of King Henry VIII. Who, when denied a divorce by the Catholic Church, created his very own religion and persecuted those who did not worship him as both Head of Stat...

Warning signs were there that Assad’s grip in Syria was faltering

By Mike Brest | Colorado Politics via The Washington Examiner There were indications that Bashar Assad's regime could struggle to maintain its grip on power in Syria — but the military assault that ended his family's more than 50-year reign happened much faster than some experts expected. Assad relied on allies to maintain power during the civil war that commenced more than a decade ago, but when his forces were faced with a new threat starting in late November, they were on their own. Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia did not come to his aid, though Moscow did purportedly allow him to seek refuge there. The U.S. intelligence community often conducts assessments to determine a military's "will to fight," though it's not an exact science. Poor morale am...

Trump shooting task force says DHS, Secret Service haven’t produced docs on golf course incident

By Elizabeth Elkind  | Fox News The House Task Force investigating the assassination attempts on President-elect Trump's life has released its final report on Tuesday, detailing "preexisting conditions and leadership failures" that led to the deadly campaign rally in Pennsylvania in July. While the bipartisan panel was given ample information on that shooting, the report suggested requests for documents on the second attempt on Trump's life – this one at his Palm Beach golf course in September – were seemingly stonewalled. "The Task Force notes that as of the date of publication of this report, [the Department of Homeland Security], [U.S. Secret Service], FBI, and [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] have not produced any documents responsive to the Task...
