New polling from the New York Times shows that Americans, regardless of political party, agree with Republican positions on numerous transgender issues, including gender transitions for minors and sports inclusion. The New York Times/Ipsos Survey, which was conducted earlier this month, found that a stunning 79% of Americans believe males should not be permitted to participate in female sports, even if the athlete identifies as transgender. “Thinking about transgender female athletes — meaning athletes who were male at birth but who currently identify as female — do you think they should or should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports?” the survey posed. Overall, 79% of those surveyed answered no, including 67% of Democrats. In total, only 18% of Americans believe trans athletes should be allowed in female sports.

Only 10% of respondents said minors should have access to the drugs, with another 16% saying minors ages 15-18 should have access.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) recently recounted a private meeting that he had with President Joe Biden last year from which he walked away believing that the country was in serious danger because of how mentally diminished Biden was. Johnson made the remarks during an interview with The Free Press when asked if he could share a story of when he realized that Biden was not actually in charge of running the country. “I became Speaker in October 2023, and there were all sorts of big national security concerns and everything going on, and I started requesting a meeting with the president,” he said. “The Speaker the House should be able to talk to the president, especially in times of great national interest and calamity, but they wouldn’t let me meet with him. And his staff kept giving him excuses. This went on for like, eight or nine weeks.” He said that Biden’s team repeatedly told him that the president did not have time to meet with him. He said that he needed to have a classified meeting with Biden over serious national security threats that he was “losing sleep over” and that he finally got a meeting after revealing to the press that Biden’s team would not let him meet the president. CELEBRATE #47 WITH 47% OFF DAILYWIRE+ MEMBERSHIPS + A FREE $20 GIFT Johnson said that once he got the meeting, he was ambushed by top Democrats and members of Biden’s cabinet who tried to shield the president by turning it into a meeting about Ukraine. Biden had everyone leave the room so he could speak to Johnson alone, much to the dismay of his staff. Before they talked about the classified national security concerns, Johnson asked Biden why he paused liquified national gas exports to Europe. Biden responded by saying that he never signed an executive order pausing exports on LNG. He later claimed that what he signed ordered that a study be done on the effects of LNG. “It occurred to me, he was not lying to me,” Johnson said. “He genuinely did not know what he had signed. And I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, we’re in serious trouble. Who is running the country? Like, I don’t know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn’t know.” Speaker Mike Johnson reveals just how out of the loop and cognitively impaired Joe Biden was as President after meeting with Biden and discussing his LNG Executive Order: “Biden was not lying to me. He genuinely did not know what he had signed.” Scary. pic.twitter.com/Clbytug8e3 — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) January 18, 2025

We love to grow turmeric, make homemade turmeric powder, and consume it in as many ways possible. Even if you don’t grow your own, making golden milk is a fabulous way to enjoy the numerous health benefits of turmeric powder. NOTE: This post was originally published in February 2020.One of our homegrown turmeric harvestsDisclosure: Homestead and Chill is reader-supported. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.What is Golden Milk?Golden milk is a nourishing and delicious warm beverage made of turmeric, milk, and warming spices. It is earthy, creamy, and slightly sweet. The rich yellow-orange pigment of turmeric dyes the finished brew a lovely golden color, giving it its name. In its most basic traditional version, golden milk is simply ground turmeric powder dissolved in milk. Yet there are many creative and tasty spins on the traditional recipe that incorporate cinnamon, ginger, clove, nutmeg, maple syrup, vanilla and more.A bowl of homegrown turmeric powderThe History of Golden MilkThe origin of golden milk goes back to ancient India, deeply rooted in Ayurvedic tradition. Ayurveda is focused on whole-body health and wellness, nurturing the mind, body, and spirit equally. According to the Ayurveda Institute, Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems, originated in India more than 5,000 years ago, and is often called the “Mother of All Healing.” In addition to having a rich cultural history, golden milk has had a recent surge in popularity among modern herbalists, the health-conscious community, and hipsters alike. Many independent coffee shops now offer it on their menu. Benefits of Drinking Golden MilkSipping on golden milk is an easy and tasty way to consume a healthy dose of turmeric powder, along with its active ingredient: curcumin. Because of its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, curcumin is considered a superfood. In fact, thousands of scientific studies have shown that curcumin is effective at:Reducing inflammation and associated pain Improving memory Preventing and slowing cancer development Boosting the immune system Regulating blood pressure, and moreI know many people who enjoy golden milk every evening as part of their bedtime routine, as it also promotes restful sleep. Warm milk alone has a calming effect on people.Ginger is excellent at soothing an upset stomach, and is a perfect partner to turmeric in golden milk. The addition of cinnamon brings a welcome pop of flavor, and also helps to stabilize blood sugar levels. Because of these amazing benefits, we also take a daily organic turmeric supplement. But whenever I am battling menstrual cramps, particularly achy muscles or joints, or simply craving a warm and soothing beverage, I whip up this golden milk recipe!Enhancing Curcumin AbsorptionAs you read below, you’ll see that this golden milk recipe calls for coconut oil and black pepper.Unfortunately, raw curcumin isn’t easily absorbed by the body. It’s fat-soluble, meaning it is much more readily absorbed into the bloodstream when eaten with fat. Therefore, it’s always suggested to consume turmeric with a healthy fat such as butter, olive oil, coconut oil, or coconut milk in order to get the most benefit possible. If you make this golden milk recipe with full-fat coconut milk or whole cows milk, you can skip the oil – or still use it for a little extra oomph! I do suggest adding oil to “thinner” plant-based milks like almond, rice, hemp, oat, or skim cows milk though. Black pepper also significantly increases the absorption of turmeric. One study showed that consuming piperine (black pepper) with curcumin can increase its bioavailability by up to 2000%. So be sure to add a dash of black pepper whenever you’re cooking with turmeric too!How to Make Golden MilkIngredientsServings: This recipe is enough to make approximately two 12-ounce mugs of golden milk.3 cups of organic natural milk such as oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, or other milk of choice 2 tsp of ground turmeric powder. We grow and grind our own now, but prior to doing that we always enjoyed this bulk organic turmeric powder. 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon 1 tbsp coconut oil (skip if you use a full-fat coconut cream or milk) 1/4 tsp of ground ginger powder A dash of black pepper Maple syrup, agave syrup, or honey. Sweeten to taste. We usually use about 2 tbsp.Optional, but luxurious and delicious:Pinch of ground cardamom (about an 1/8 tsp, or just under) Pinch of ground nutmeg (about an 1/8 tsp, or just under) Dash of either vanilla extract, or vanilla powderDirectionsGently heat your milk of choice in a pot on the stovetop over medium heat. Once the milk is warm, add the called-for spices, oil, and sweetener. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients. Depending on the type of milk you use, vigorous whisking may create a nice latte-like “foam”. Or use a handy frother wand if you have one! Continue to heat on medium-low for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Exposure to low heat for a short period also help increase the bioavailability of turmeric. Do not boil. Serve immediately and enjoy warm. Feel free to add a little sprinkle of cinnamon on top! Some separation/sinking of the spices is normal. Stir once or twice while drinking as needed.See variations, storage, and reheating tips below.Storage and Shelf LifeStore leftover golden milk in the refrigerator in an air-tight container with a lid for up to 3 days. I recommend gently re-heating leftovers on the stovetop (rather than in a microwave) over medium heat to preserve maximum nutritional value.Golden Milk Recipe VariationsNot feeling like a warm bevvy? Golden milk is also delicious served cold, though I’d skip using oil in the recipe in that case. Simply let it cool on the stovetop some before pouring over ice, or enjoy leftovers cold. Golden milk also pairs exceptionally well with tea! If I’m in the mood for a special pick-me-up, I like to steep chai tea or Earl Grey along with the golden milk while it is on the stove. Or for a calming caffeine-free bedtime alternative, try combining golden milk with chamomile tea or another herbal tea blend.  To reduce calories or carbs in this golden milk recipe, you could replace half the milk with water or skip the sweetener – though turmeric tends to be a tad bitter on it’s own.Pre-Made Golden Milk PowderIf you don’t have many of the called-for spices at home, or simply want a really quick and easy way to make golden milk, consider using a pre-made golden milk powder. All you do is mix it with hot water and/or warm milk and an optional sweetener of choice.My good friend Shaina of Allura Superfoods makes an absolutely DELICIOUS, high-quality, organic Golden Blend that includes reishi and turkey tail mushrooms in addition to classic golden milk ingredients like turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper and cardamon. Code “deannacat” saves 10% off too!When I’m in a hurry or simply don’t feel like making golden milk from scratch, I add a scoop of Golden Blend to a mug, pour over hot water, and add a little splash of milk and maple syrup.Cheers!I hope you enjoy our golden milk recipe as much as we do.

Pennsylvania Farm Leaders Applaud Aggressive Action Against Avian Flu

As the clock ticks down to NewsNation’s much-anticipated special tonight featuring Jake Barber, the alleged UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) whistleblower, I’m asking: is this the turning point in the disclosure movement, or just another expertly marketed waiting game? Barber, a former insider in a crash retrieval program, has promised revelations that could redefine humanity’s understanding of the cosmos. Yet his dual role as both whistleblower and entrepreneur raises critical questions about motivations, timing, and credibility. Barber recent claims of firsthand involvement in the recovery of extraterrestrial technology and entities, describes operations employing cutting-edge electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons to down UAPs, recovery of alien bodies, and the use of psionics—mental abilities like telepathy—to control extraterrestrial craft. “We’re not alone,” Barber stated on social media earlier this week. “Our consciousness can’t be redacted.” His statements and the promise of groundbreking evidence have stoked widespread interest, especially with tonight’s NewsNation special promising never-before-seen footage of a crash retrieval operation. Yet for some, the timing of these disclosures seems less about transparency and more about promoting Barber’s new venture, Skywatcher, described as “an elite team of aerial intelligence experts and scientists.” Skywatcher is an elite team of aerial intelligence experts and scientists. We are privately funded and are not seeking any form of revenue or funding from the public. We hope this proves to be a valuable gift to the world as we usher in the new era.… — jakebarber (@jakebarber2025) January 18, 2025 Skywatcher’s mission, according to its website, is to “usher in a new era” of aerial intelligence. The company, Barber claims, is privately funded and operates altruistically, without seeking public revenue. Critics argue that the timing of his whistleblower claims aligns too neatly with his company’s public launch. Barber’s been on NewsNation before, hyping his company. Michael Herrera, another controversial figure in the UFO community, previously alleged that Barber had provided him with explosive information about secretive government programs. According to Herrera, Barber detailed unethical practices within these operations, including drugging and exploiting marginalized individuals with psionic abilities to summon and operate ET craft. Among UFO community, “just two more weeks” has become a meme, symbolizing the repeated delays and unfulfilled promises of disclosure. Tonight’s NewsNation special risks falling into this pattern. While Ross Coulthart, the investigative journalist behind the program, has a reputation for thorough reporting, many remain wary of sensationalism overtaking substance. The stakes are high. Genuine evidence of crash retrieval programs or extraterrestrial technology would be a seismic event, reshaping science, religion, and global politics. Yet if Barber’s appearance devolves into vague statements and promotional rhetoric, it could further erode trust in the disclosure movement. As we await tonight’s special, it’s worth remembering that the truth is out there, but it’s often buried under layers of disinformation, speculation, and human ambition.

During NBC’s recap of the week’s headlines on Saturday’s installment of Today, Joe Fryer hyped President Joe Biden’s “warning about the future” of an oligarchy under incoming President Donald Trump. However, Fryer, like his ABC and CBS network counterparts, ignored Biden’s Friday claim that he could amend the Constitution by simply issuing a declaration and posting it on social media. On Today’s anchor couch, Fryer introduced the weekly recap, “Among the major headlines this week, one last major speech from the Oval Office before President Biden puts his political career behind him.”     In a voiceover, he continued, “President Biden gave a farewell address after five decades in politics, both touting his accomplishments.” A clip then showed Biden declaring that “Every day I’ve kept my commitment to be president for all Americans for one of the toughest periods in our nation's history,” with Fryer adding, “And issuing a warning about the future.” Biden was also shown claiming that “an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy.” Fryer quickly moved on, but not only did Biden’s concern about oligarchy come across as partisan given Democrats’ own cozy relationship with several billionaires, but it left out Biden’s claim that the Equal Rights Amendment is now, for all intents and purposes, the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.   Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex. pic.twitter.com/oZtS6Q89zG — President Biden (@POTUS) January 17, 2025   In order to become part of the Constitution, an amendment must be passed by three-fourths of the states and in 2020, Virginia passed the ERA to put it over the top or so Biden says. In reality, the archivist of the United States, who is the one actually responsible for formally acknowledging new amendments, cited Joe Biden’s own Justice Department back in December when she declared that proponents of the ERA had missed the ratification deadline. Before she died, progressive feminist hero, former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, agreed. The ERA was first proposed in 1972 and some states have even rescinded their approval. If Donald Trump had declared the Constitution amended through a mere proclamation, the media would say it affirmed all their warnings about him and the future of democracy and our institutions. Joe Biden actually did it, and the three main networks have nothing to say about it. Here is a transcript for the January 18 show: NBC Today 1/18/2025 7:21 AM ET JOE FRYER: Among the major headlines this week, one last major speech from the Oval Office before President Biden puts his political career behind him.  [voiceover] President Biden gave a farewell address after five decades in politics, both touting his accomplishments. JOE BIDEN: Every day I’ve kept my commitment to be president for all Americans for one of the toughest periods in our nation's history. FRYER: And issuing a warning about the future. BIDEN: An oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy.
