A Republican state senator in Idaho said her family’s livelihood is on the line after a united effort from major dairies in the state to cut off business with her husband over her stance on illegal immigration.  Senator Glenneda Zuiderveld said multiple dairies are refusing to work with her husband Tom because of her politics, adding that they have lost 85% of their income in the past month. While the state’s dairy industry says Zuiderveld is “anti-ag,” she believes that she is being targeted because of her support for tough-on-illegal immigration policies like those that mandate employers verify the legal status of workers. “I’m about trying to protect our state from illegal immigration, but they’re always trying to protect their workforce,” she told The Daily Wire. “They’re basically working with other dairies that will probably be withdrawing from us. So they’re colluding together. So that’s not free market. That’s intimidation.”  The incident shows how even in red states, Republicans can split over agricultural and immigration enforcement interests. In this case, it appears to be large dairies against Zuiderveld, a member of Idaho’s firebrand Freedom Caucus. A letter from Zuiderveld’s employer obtained by The Daily Wire shows that multiple dairies, including Millenkamp Cattle, Black Pine Cattle, and Cedar Ridge Dairy requested last month “to no longer work with” her husband.  “We have been informed that these customers have aligned with others in a coordinated effort to no longer direct business through you,” the letter said. “The concerns raised are tied to your wife’s political role and are not related to the level of service you have provided. While not making judgements on these factors, they are impacting these customers’ willingness to continue doing business with us.” The letter added that one dairy even demanded that Tom be fired from the company, which the Zuidervelds have chosen to keep anonymous.  “One customer indicated they would consider moving their business away from [redacted] if we did not terminate you. While termination is not something we are considering, it does underscore the seriousness of the situation,” the letter said.  The Daily Wire reached out to Millenkamp Cattle and Black Pine Cattle for comment, which falls under the same ownership. An employee for Cedar Ridge Dairy who answered a phone call said he was not authorized to talk to the press and hung up.  “Our business has always been in the dairy industry,” Zuiderveld told The Daily Wire. “They’ve always known what our politics are, but just recently they wrote a letter saying that they didn’t like my politics, and that they wanted our company basically to fire my husband, which they didn’t do because we’re independent sales reps.” Zuiderveld said that her Senate district, which encompasses the Magic Valley heavy agricultural area of south central Idaho, has more dairies than any other district. A fourth dairy, Riverbend Dairy, stopped doing business with them on Monday, Zuiderveld said. The Daily Wire reached out to a phone number listed for the dairy, but did not hear back.  While the dairies did not respond to requests for comment, Rick Naerebout, the CEO of the Idaho Dairymen’s Association, chalked up the issue to “free-market capitalism” in an interview with The Idaho Statesman.  He accused the Zuidervelds of being “anti-ag” and claimed that “not all Idaho Republicans are created equal.” He pointed to Zuiderveld’s opposition to $30 million in taxpayer dollars for water infrastructure and vote over funding to target an invasive mussel.  Zuiderveld said that those issues were just a distraction from the issues of illegal immigration. She said that she opposed the water funding because there was not significant accountability for the dollars and said she was skeptical of the environmental claims about the mussel.  “They’re trying to distract,” she told The Daily Wire. “The main reason is the illegal immigration issue — 90% of their workforce is what they call foreign-born, and I would have to say, probably 70% if not more of it is illegal.”

Real human insight and human stories — from our featured writers to you. *** It’s a common conversation among millennial parents, so common that it isn’t worth remarking on beyond the brief acknowledgement of shared pain. A writer colleague on a trip together broke the ice with a mention. “Yes, we’ve got three at home, and my husband has them; he’s very capable. Grandma is there, too,” she said with a long sigh. “She actually makes things harder. I just wish she could, you know, help? I don’t get it. She always wanted grandkids, she always told me she wants grandkids, but now it’s like, ‘It’s Tuesday. I have pilates.’” The Baby Boomer generation is the greatest generation in only one measure: in terms of the redistribution of wealth to itself. No other American generation comes close, thanks to the timing of the Great Society, the expansion of old-age benefits, the timing of Wall Street booms, and a real estate market Boomers continue to dominate. They are the largest group of homeowners by far, despite being just 20% of the population; in 2025, they were also the largest group of home buyers, typically with cash. Empty nest boomers own a third of all three-bedroom homes in America. They own double the percentage of homes millennials do, and according to a 2025 survey, 61% of boomer homeowners say they never plan to sell their homes. Those homes are often the epicenter of family moves. Because millennials rent when their parents bought, they are the ones who have to move when they have kids, proximity to grandma and grandpa being a presumed benefit offering free childcare and occasional help. Three-quarters of millennials say it’s important to live near their parents after having kids, and depending on the survey, approximately a third say they’ve relocated or already made a point of living near their parents because of the kid factor. But when it comes to delivering on that help, Boomers are sorely lacking: Just one out of five millennial parents says parents help with regular childcare. The anecdotes are ubiquitous, and they are not flattering. “We moved 15 minutes away from my parents after we had our second,” a friend tells me. “Since we had a boy, I thought my dad would want to spend time with him. We’ve lived here a year, and he’s seen him four times. He held him once.” The Boomer drive-by seems to be the most common interaction: a momentary disruptive pause in the day when kids are taken to do some activity that could conceivably give you enough time to run a few errands, get the car serviced, or spend actual time picking out a steak. But it turns out that something happens, or the kids were rowdy, or grandpa forgot he has to do something, and they’re back on your doorstep 45 minutes later, somehow still hungry. Or there’s one level worse: the drive-by for social media, where grandma is just in the house long enough to snap a picture for her friends on The Facebook. “My brother had kids 10 years before I did, and he got ‘grandma weekends,’ the kids staying over at their house for two to three days,” another friend tells me. “I didn’t get married till a decade later, and I’m lucky to get ‘grandma lunch.’ She’s in Europe for a month. He played golf at Spyglass; I’m lucky to get a Costco run in.” Anecdote isn’t the plural of data, but the conversation around this topic has been widespread and only goes in one direction: toward Grandboomers who are consistently more interested in fun than in helping out with the grandbabies. It’s fine if the elders are just deciding that taking care of a toddler isn’t “living their best life,” but they can’t expect to escape criticism for it. As one beleaguered mom whose complaints went viral told Newsweek last year, “It definitely triggered guilty boomers who were irritated and said they’re not going to raise our kids, but that’s not what we’re asking for. I have gotten so many messages from millennials saying they felt heard and less alone. They thought it was only their issue, and they had no idea that others dealt with this.” Believe me, if you talk to your fellow millennial parents, you absolutely know. You can ascribe this social trend to any Boomer aspect of your choosing: permanent main character syndrome, an abiding aversion to any reminder of their aging nature, belief that they “did their time” changing diapers and shouldn’t have to do another run, or just a rejection of the parenting styles of millennials as being too demanding, too helicopter for their tastes. But it is an undeniable trend, one that virtually every millennial parent knows all too well. “My mom changed our diapers growing up, and she says she’s done enough for her life,” yet another friend tells me. “But it sure would be nice if she was willing to do it just for one Friday a month.” You can dismiss this development as just a generation that has lived longer enjoying life to the fullest. You can describe it as irrelevant because millennials should figure out ways to pay for childcare and take care of it themselves. But the hard fact is that an underlying reason for the decline in American population that we see so regularly reported, year after year, is this Boomer attitude. It is a simple binary: In the absence of date nights, without a break from the kids, millennial parents simply do not have time to make more kids. If that’s something America wants to change, it’s going to have to bring back shame for our elders. Help your kids, or get used to fewer grandkids. You’re the product of a Baby Boom, but you seem completely uninterested in creating another one. That’s the reality. Change starts with you.

The star's legal team denied his involvement

Ancient mysteries from a very smelly cave.

When 60 Minutes lined up three American Catholic Cardinals who had been dropping angry “open letters” on President Trump, CBS reporter Norah O’Donnell mustered the audacity to claim “their candor surprised us.” No, they knew precisely what they were orchestrating – another carefully edited hit job on Trump. Modern liberals, by their nature, are alienated from traditional Christianity, as exemplified by the classic front-page Washington Post phrase about Jerry Falwell’s followers: “poor, uneducated, and easy to command.” Liberal TV networks find organized religion useful – when it helps sell the liberal view. They want to add the moral authority of organized religion to their causes. They will celebrate in this case that Pope Leo is not a “pundit” or a “politician,” which is true to a point. But it turns into a pundit-palooza. This American pope surely knows that all of his speeches, interviews, and tweets are going to be used to score points by political actors, and he knows that he doesn’t have to name Trump for everyone to guess he’s calling out Trump. When a pope speaks out about poverty or pollution or climate, our elitist media rush to publicize it. When the Catholic Church is vigorously opposing abortion or transgenderism, then they are either mocked or ignored -- but mostly ignored. So you might think Pope Leo is a liberal when it depends on which issue is being discussed. They only want to present his opinion when he agrees with their opinion. If he speaks out against radical Islam or Christian persecution in Africa, they ignore him, so Americans might think he's said nothing about it. The 60 Minutes gang could just as easily find a spokesman like Bishop Robert Barron, who is very popular among American Catholics. But he's on Trump's Religious Liberty Commission, so he's automatically an unpalatable choice. Leftist journalists call him a "MAGA Bishop." That's like categorizing the cardinals CBS interviewed as the "Biden Cardinals." In this case, they’re seeking to undermine the moral authority of a more conservative church leader. The journalists who sneer at a “MAGA Bishop” are the same hacks who describe Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi as “devout Catholics.” It’s all about political spin. In recent days, they have elevated the Pope and the Church’s anti-Trump leaders to some sort of holy ground where they should not be criticized by Trump or by J.D. Vance, that they’re only digging themselves a whole by daring to disagree. Stephen Colbert scolded Vance like he needed to go to the confessional for criticizing the Pope. When the Pope was seen as a staunch right-winger – like Pope Benedict XIV – the media and the comedians ripped him all the time. The media’s tendency to elevate the religious left was also demonstrated by a CNN interview with Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, D.C. She lauded Pope Leo for his consistent message of peace and “calling for respect and dignity in human discourse.” Seconds later, CNN played a video of Baptist pastor/Senator Raphael Warnock on MS NOW ripping Vance for suggesting the Pope should be “careful” on political matters: “This is how despots and wannabe despots talk. This is how fascists talk.” Is that respect and dignity in discourse? Budde could only happily gush to CNN: “As Raphael Warnock said so well, this is what moral courage looks like.” CBS and CNN always find “moral courage” in anyone denouncing Trump – although this chatter is quite easy to uncork without challenge, and the rewards for forwarding that “anti-fascist” spin are blatantly obvious. Advancing the Left is “courageous.” Debating the Left makes you a “wannabe despot.”

Last month, the Trump administration announced a brand-new White House app available for iPhone and Android. The move shocked the internet, causing some to warn that installing the app would give the government a window into every phone’s most private data. After reviewing the privacy policy, those early fears were somewhat overblown, though not completely invalid. Here’s everything we found.The new White House app replaced the previous version that was launched by former President Barack Obama in 2010. After 16 years, the app was long overdue for an overhaul. Updated to version 47 as a nod to our 47th president, the app now entails a brand-new design and features optimized for the MAGA age.There are some inherent flaws within its code.A quick tour of the White House (app)The new White House app offers a unique window into the presidency of Donald Trump. It’s comprised of five main sections:Home: The home page displays announcements, goals/mission achievements, and other important messages from the Trump administration. These can include information on the MAHA movement, border security, cost-of-living improvements, and more.News: The news page showcases press releases and major updates directly from the administration as well as trusted media outlets.Live: The live feed displays long-form videos, shorts, and livestreams featuring President Trump and his various on-camera appearances, from diplomatic meetings, to important announcements, and a meme or two for good measure.Social: The social tab provides a live feed of various social media accounts connected to the president, including Rapid Response 47, the White House, and Donald J. Trump. There’s also a tab that lets you write to the White House, text President Trump himself, sign up for the White House newsletter, and you can even submit a tip to Immigration and Customs Enforcement if you suspect illegal immigration is taking place in your neighborhood or workplace.Gallery: The gallery displays photos of various events featuring President Trump and his administration, including important addresses, bill signings, Cabinet meetings, and more. Zach Laidlaw/The White House app on iOSPrivacy concerns?From the moment the new White House app went live, sleuths on social media were quick to warn others not to download it, claiming it to be government spyware that can gather users’ private data.Based on its privacy labels on the App Store and Google Play, the White House app may collect your email address and phone number (both optional) for marketing purposes as well as app usage data for analytics. Notable components missing from the data collection notice include precise location data, microphone access, camera access, photos access, and browsing history.In other words, the White House app doesn’t have permission to listen to your conversations, spy on you through the camera, or see your exact location.RELATED: How the FBI can flout Apple's privacy tools ugurhan/Getty Images Going a step further, we took a look at the White House’s privacy page. Based on this information, the White House website (and by extension, the app) may collect the following that developers aren't required to disclose directly on the app page:The device’s originating IP addressThe internet domain nameInformation about your computer or mobile setup (e.g., type and version of web browser, operating system, screen resolution, and connection speed)The pages on WhiteHouse.gov that you visitThe internet address, or URL, of the website that connected you to the site if you accessed WhiteHouse.gov via a link on another page (i.e., “referral traffic”)The amount of data transmitted from WhiteHouse.gov to your computerAt first glance, none of these seem out of the ordinary. Practically all websites you visit log this information about your device and usage habits.So the White House app is safe to use, right? Not so fast ...Secrets under the hoodA self-professed web designer and former reverse engineer that goes by “Thereallo” decompiled the Android version of the White House app to see exactly what its code entails. Thereallo makes several censorious claims about the app that earned the White House’s announcement a community note on X. The highlights include: Security risks driven by arbitrary JavaScript injection and an absence of certificate pinning that could leave the app open to hacks in the future.Dubious GPS tracking that logs the device’s location in the foreground (while the app is in use) every 4.5 minutes and in the background (while the app is not being used) every 9.5 minutes.User behavior tracking through various avenues, including cross-device aliases, notification interaction logs, in-app clicks, and more.Note that these points were only confirmed in the Android version of the White House app. Due to the closed nature of Apple’s mobile platforms, decompiling iOS apps are far more complex.So is the White House app really safe to use?While the new White House app looks good on the surface, there are some inherent flaws within its code that could open users up to cyber security threats and data tracking. If you’d like to use the app, consider these options first:Enable a trusted VPN to mask your IP address from the app’s location-monitoring protocols.Revoke any permissions from that app that request location data or access to see nearby devices to ensure it can’t tap into your GPS data or connected Bluetooth devices.Install the app within a secure sandbox, either inside a Private Space on Android or within an iPhone that isn’t attached to your primary Apple account, to ensure any future cyber attacks on the app can’t attempt to access the rest of the data in your device.Don’t download the White House app. Simply visit whitehouse.gov for the latest information from the Trump administration.If you’re still interested in checking out the White House app for yourself, you can download it from the Apple App Store for iPhone and the Google Play Store for Android.
