'They got caught in a lie'

When the temperature gets hotter we tend to eat lighter, but that doesn’t mean you have to eat like a bird or sacrifice taste. Salads and fruit are the perfect way to eat light. So, we thought we’d combine the two and search for some impressive fruit salads that are perfect for the summer weather....

Researchers at the University of Innsbruck in Austria published a study in the journal Appetite linking the love of bitter tastes to antisocial personality traits like psychopathy.

It’s always shocking to see some middle-aged, terribly overweight, poorly shaven magazine editor furiously posting on X, baying for blood in a country thousands of miles away. Shocking, yet expected, especially over the past two weeks, as Israel and Iran have exchanged fire and President Donald Trump has weighed America’s role in the conflict. Over the weekend, the president decided to launch an attack on Iranian nuclear sites, which included deploying B-2s loaded with bunker busters, in an operation called Midnight Hammer. Shortly after the operation, Trump began calling for a ceasefire to allow the president and his team to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran. The sabre-scribblers could not be satisfied with anything short of a regime change war. Of course, they have no intention of going to the battlefield themselves—let alone sending their sons. More often than not, they are Never Trumpers who don’t even trust the commander in chief to lead the wars they call for.  These keyboard warriors have no idea what war is really like, but Will Thibeau does. A veteran of the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment and the director of the American Military Project at the Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life, Thibeau joined “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss why Trump is rightfully resisting calls for regime change to focus on his domestic agenda and building a military worthy of the golden age.  “Frankly, when you’re in the army, it’s all you hope for,” Thibeau said. “I mean, guys literally prayed to be able to deploy and seek combat.” He likened being a Ranger platoon leader to “holding dogs on leash,” but age and combat changes things: “With some years and with children now, for me, [war] is the last thing you want to happen. It is a measure of last resort for the nation.” “I’ll never forget wanting it—lusting for it—as much as I did when I was in the Army,” Thibeau told The Daily Signal. “And it’s this really kind of brutal juxtaposition between something that I used to dream of and then something I want to do everything to make sure that the nation does not wage unless it is absolutely necessary.” ”War has become this video game for the nation,” Thibeau continued. “It’s become a sporting event in some ways, where you can observe the effects on the internet and the news, you see statistics like ground covered or casualties or number of bombs dropped, and that is very different from the real visceral experience of having that happen to you.” The high only lasts so long, however. Trump’s meteoric rise in politics is inseparable from the American people’s disdain for the forever wars of Iraq and Afghanistan. His return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will always be tied to the several wars that broke out on the interloper’s watch. “I think it is still very much a question of what pressure he wants to exact on the Iranians and the Israelis in order for them to get to a ceasefire,” Thibeau said. “I think a ceasefire is in the rational interest, at least in the near term, for both Israel and Iran.” The ceasefire was good news for those in the restraint-oriented camp of the president’s supporters, especially as more details emerged of the administration’s delicate diplomatic dance in the lead up to Saturday’s strikes on Iran nuclear facilities. Nonetheless, restrainers were not pleased with the president for greenlighting the operation. “If I have a criticism for perhaps some of our friends and those with whom we share some predispositions about the nature of conflict and exercising military force, I think it was always pollyannish to assume that President Trump wouldn’t take military action or that it was off the table,” Thibeau said. “To me, it was clear, if you kind of just put the dots together—much less classified intelligence assessments if you’re on the inside—that there was some predicate, some precedent for action.” The tenuous ceasefire continues to hold, and it’s crucial that it does for Trump to strike a deal. “The status quo is not sustainable because the status quo has no insight into the true nature of Iran’s nuclear program. We can presume it’s been delayed and degraded and disrupted. Those are military tasks,” Thibeau explained. “I think it’s less certain that it’s been destroyed, and it certainly still exists in some form, but the only way to verify the extent of it, and then, God willing, to verify the end of a nuclear weapons program is either through a diplomatic solution or significant escalation in violence to militarily determine the state of the nuclear program.” “That dichotomy, that kind of fork in the road, is still here, and I think it’s perhaps now more likely the diplomacy will be the path taken, but we still have to start down the road,” Thibeau told The Daily Signal. The stakes couldn’t be higher. For the president to accomplish his domestic priorities—securing the southern border and mass deportations, unleashing American energy, modernizing the military, and refocusing U.S. foreign policy on China—“you need an Iran deal,” Thibeau said.

A vice mayor of a small city in Los Angeles County is facing more and more calls for resignation after she posted a video calling on all the "cholos" to defend their turf against federal agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.The Los Angeles Police Protective League excoriated Cynthia Gonzalez for encouraging violent criminal gangs to protect their "turf" against federal agents after violent rioting in Southern California.'Her actions are deplorable and potentially illegal. She should resign, and she should be prosecuted if what she called for broke the law.'As Blaze News previously reported, Gonzalez posted the video and deleted it after public outrage, but a copy survived and was circulated on social media."Not for nothing, but I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles!" she said in the video. "You guys tag everything up, claiming hood, and now that your hood's being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain't a peep out of you!" she continued.Gonzalez specifically named the 18th Street gang as well as the Florencia 13 gang, which the LAPPL identified as criminal gangs whose members had attacked police officers, sometimes lethally. The vice mayor implied that the gangs weren't doing their part to join protesters in opposing ICE.“The 18th Street and Florencia street gangs are notoriously dangerous Los Angeles-based criminal enterprises,” LAPPL said in part. “They rule their ‘turfs’ through intimidation, violence, and murder, and finance their operations through the sale of narcotics and illegal firearms, prostitution, and protection rackets.”The LAPPL went on to accuse her of putting police officers and other law enforcement professionals at greater risk through her video.“Her actions are deplorable and potentially illegal. She should resign, and she should be prosecuted if what she called for broke the law.”Gonzalez confirmed that the FBI had visited her over a video posted to TikTok and said that she needed an attorney. Those posts were also deleted.The city of Cudahy released a statement distancing itself from the comments but did not condemn them."The city of Cudahy is aware of recent comments made by Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez on social media," the statement reads. "The comments made by the vice mayor reflect her personal views and do not represent the views or official position of the city of Cudahy."RELATED: House Republicans investigating CHIRLA nonprofit over alleged role in ICE rioting The U.S. Department of Homeland Security condemned the video in their statement."The comments made by the Vice Mayor of Cudahy, CA, Cynthia Gonzalez, are despicable. She calls for criminal gangs — including the vicious 18th Street gang — to commit violence against our brave ICE law enforcement," the department wrote on social media.A senior ICE official also criticized the vice mayor."Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez calling for the vicious 18th Street Gang and others to fight federal law enforcement on the streets of Los Angeles is disgusting," the official said to KTTV-TV."A roving gang of murderers, rapists and drug peddlers are not going to protect American communities," the official added. "ICE and federal partners are working to protect public safety every day, contrary to the lies spread by disingenuous elected officials."Sources told Fox News that there was a federal investigation into the video.Like Blaze News?

The Trump administration said that California was in violation of the 1973 Title IX federal civil rights law over transgender sports athletes and threatened "enforcement action" if their polices remained unchanged.In February, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened an investigation into transgender athletes being allowed to compete against girls in California, and on Wednesday, Education Sec. Linda McMahon confirmed that the state was violating the civil rights law.'The state must swiftly come into compliance with Title IX or face the consequences that follow.'McMahon called on California to "voluntarily agree" to reverse the policies or face “imminent enforcement action" from the federal government, according to the Los Angeles Times. “Although Governor Gavin Newsom admitted months ago it was ‘deeply unfair’ to allow men to compete in women’s sports, both the California Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation continued as recently as a few weeks ago to allow men to steal female athletes’ well-deserved accolades and to subject them to the indignity of unfair and unsafe competitions,” McMahon said.“The Trump Administration will relentlessly enforce Title IX protections for women and girls, and our findings today make clear that California has failed to adhere to its obligations under federal law," she added. "The state must swiftly come into compliance with Title IX or face the consequences that follow.”On Friday, parents in Costa Mesa protested against transgender competition and presented a petition with tens of thousands of signatures to the CIF, which governs high school competitions. Chino Valley Unified School Board President Sonja Shaw, who has been a vocal activist against the transgender policies, praised the statement from the Education Department.“CIF and CDE were warned. Over and over,” Shaw said to the Times. “But instead of listening, they laughed. They smirked. They mocked parents and anyone that stood for the truth and let our daughters be mocked, sidelined, and erased. They handed girls over to an ideology that stole their privacy, safety, and achievements. Now, they’ve been federally exposed as lawbreakers.”Trump has previously used the threat of pulling federal money from states in order to persuade them to comply with his executive orders, but California officials have rebuffed such threats on the basis that the state is a net contributor to the federal government.“Californians pay the bills for the federal government,” Newsom said on social media earlier in June. "We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back. Maybe it’s time to cut that off.”Like Blaze News?

Happy NBA draft day! By the end of the night, the Dallas Mavericks, who won the first overall pick, will have almost certainly signed Cooper Flagg — Duke’s 18-year-old forward and the projected No. 1 overall draft pick.Flagg isn’t even officially in the NBA yet, and already he’s widely adored.“Everybody loves Cooper Flagg,” says Jason Whitlock. According to Jason, “he's being welcomed into the NBA with open arms” by everyone — from “the all-time greats to the guys currently playing,” even LeBron James.Why, then, does Flagg’s WNBA equivalent, Caitlin Clark, get so much hate?Jason says the answer lies in the “difference between men and women.” “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim agrees. There “ain’t no hatin'-ass Shaniquas” in the NBA, he says. “Who is more derisive, more backbiting and more ... hateful of women in the workplace or in social settings than other women?” he continues.“Add that to the fact that these women are incredibly spiteful, jealous, with a sense of entitlement,” and it’s obvious Caitlin Clark didn’t have a prayer of getting the same warm welcome Flagg is currently receiving, he adds.Jason agrees: “There's no insecurity among black male basketball players. They're not threatened by Cooper Flagg; they don't feel like their legacy is being diminished by welcoming Cooper Flagg into the NBA family.”As an example of this, Steve points to caucasian basketball legend Larry Bird, whose “most impactful words of praise” came from none other than black basketball players. “In that era, [black players] probably praised Larry Bird more than anybody,” he says.Unfortunately, when it comes to “black women, there's insecurity as it relates to white women,” says Jason. And with “lesbian women, there's insecurity as it relates to heterosexual women.”Given the WNBA is heavily populated by black lesbian women, Caitlin Clark, who’s white and heterosexual, was doomed from the get-go.The hate she receives, however, isn’t just coming from inside the league. Outside forces are working to pour fuel on the Clark hatred fire as well.“There are literally videos on TikTok and all these other social media outlets where black women — not players but black women — are literally lecturing other black men: ‘We have to stand up for Angel Reese; you cannot cheer for Caitlin Clark,’” says Steve.To hear more of the conversation, watch the episode above.Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
