An encapsulation of the liberal worldview

GNN has reported a-plenty on animals that were last seen in the 20th century and believed extinct that were then rediscovered, but a story from the island of New Guinea now stretches that pattern to its absolute limits. Known only from fossilized bones that date back 6,000-plus years, two species of arboreal marsupials have been […] The post Marsupials Previously Thought Extinct for 6,000 Years Discovered: ‘A once-in-a-lifetime discovery’ appeared first on Good News Network.

When President Donald Trump signed an executive order prioritizing production of the pesticide glyphosate, conservative influencer Alex Clark received hundreds of messages from Make America Healthy Again advocates saying they would no longer vote Republican.  “I have received hundreds of DMs saying I’m either not voting in the midterms or I’m considering not voting because this was such a massive issue,” Clark told The Daily Signal.  Removing pesticides and chemicals from the food supply is a top issue for MAHA voters, and many became disillusioned after Trump’s executive order said that glyphosate producers should have “immunity” under the Defense Production Act. “Half of them are thinking they’re not even voting at all because they’re very unhappy about the pesticide issue,” Clark said. “Half are probably still willing to vote red.” “But as far as 2028 goes, that’s not in the bag at all,” Clark said. “And if anybody on the right is thinking that we have MAHA voters in the bag for 2028, they are sorely mistaken, and they are in for a rude awakening.”  According to Clark, the GOP is in a “situationship” with MAHA voters, and if the GOP doesn’t keep its promises to them, they will flock to Democrats who make MAHA promises.  Calley Means, a top advisor to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., told The Daily Signal the Trump administration is already doing what it must to win over MAHA voters. “The concern about children’s health from voters is loudly heard in the Trump administration,” Means said in an interview, “and Secretary Kennedy is working throughout the government to drive solutions.” The Trump administration is working to ensure farmers can thrive while also working to reduce contaminants in food, according to Means. “The government has just committed over a billion dollars to driving innovation and research towards an agriculture system we all want, which is an agriculture system that continues innovating and reduces dependence on chemicals that produce negative health outputs,” Means said. “That’s what everybody wants, and the Trump administration is ensuring farmers have the tools they need right now, while putting innovation initiatives into overdrive to build a better future.” “It is a fact that 99% of corn is sprayed with glyphosate right now in the United States, and that chemical is needed for farmers right now, and it is also true that we were working and should innovate towards a better future, which Bobby Kennedy is doing,” Means continued. There have been historic successes in the first year, and much remains to be done, Means said. So far, the Trump administration has changed the childhood vaccine schedule, updated the food pyramid, worked to phase out petroleum dyes from food, and launched Operation Stork Speed to improve the quality of infant formula. But MAHA activists want more, and getting pesticides out of food is at the top of their priority list.  “We will be pushing every single day to deliver tangible benefits, to improve our food system, to make health care more affordable, to empower patients, to reduce overmedicalization, to improve mental health,” he said, “to accomplish the core agenda items that the MAHA voters have made clear are important.” Democrats, on the other hand, are offering MAHA voters nothing, according to Means. “There’s nothing happening from the Democrats,” he said. “The Democrats have not lifted one finger to reverse childhood chronic disease and all of the energy is on the Republican side, and this is worth continuing.” The Republican party can’t afford to lose MAHA voters, according to Jay Richards, MAHA advocate and vice president of social and domestic policy at the Heritage Foundation.  “It would be a disaster for Republicans if the MAHA vote was either lost or suppressed in the midterm elections, because the numbers are almost certainly sufficient to win or lose on the margins of almost any local or national election,” Richards told The Daily Signal. “I think that it’s one of the most energetic parts of the current Republican base, and it would be a self-inflicted wound if Republicans didn’t understand how important that is.”  A new poll, conducted by the Brownstone Institute and Health Freedom Defense Fund, showed that a supermajority of Americans support freedom for individuals to make their own medical decisions. At least 80% of those surveyed expressed support for the rights to refuse medical treatments and make personal health choices, and to protect doctors from censorship.  Richards said the addition of MAHA voters to the MAGA coalition is “one of the most important political realignments” of the last generation. “If the White House and Republicans are able to meet those and respect them, I think that contingent of voters will continue to support Republicans,” Richards said, “but I don’t think the Republican Party should treat them as a base that’s going to stick with them, no matter what.”  Most MAHA voters understand that an outright ban on glyphosate is not realistic and would harm farmers, but Richards said the Trump administration needs “a well thought out plan to make it easier for farmers and consumers to get affordable food without a large amount of glyphosate contaminant on it.” “If the White House and Republicans can thread that needle, I think even the frustration over the executive order could dissipate between now and the election,” Richards said.  MAHA Institute co-president Mark Gorton said voters who look at the whole of what Kennedy is doing are not going to drop their support of him because of the glyphosate order. “If you just look overall at the work that Secretary Kennedy and his team are doing, if people are paying attention,” Gorton told The Daily Signal, “they’re really working to profoundly change our health system and remove the corporate capture in a way we have not seen in generations or American history.”  Gorton, a registered Democrat who supports the president due to this MAHA policy, said Democrats oppose the MAHA agenda, even on common sense issues. “Democrats only seem to be leaning into the corporate capture by Big Pharma, spouting Big Pharma talking points on vaccines, and everything else,” he said. “Whatever President Trump And Secretary Kennedy do, the Democrats support the opposite, even on issues that where that’s idiotic, and so as much as the Republican party may not be delivering 100% for MAHA, I mean, the Democrats are determined to do worse.” To keep MAHA voters, the Republican Party needs to deliver on policy issues, said Gorton. Gorton has seen a lot of action on the executive level, but said Republicans in Congress need to step up their game.  “Congress is, to a reasonable extent, still bought by corporate interests, and you see that there are pushbacks on a lot of MAHA issues, and so it would be nice to see Congress really delivering and passing meaningful legislation on some of these fronts,” Gorton said.  MAHA voters have had a “prominent seat at the table during the Trump administration,” Means said. “The Trump administration has driven historic victories for those voters,” he said.

The Left Lies So Brazenly Because They Can Get Away With It

A tense exchange between press secretary Karoline Leavitt and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins unfolded at a recent White House press briefing — and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales couldn’t be more impressed with the way Leavitt handled it.“You have CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who started out at the Daily Caller, was hired by Tucker Carlson. She was writing for conservative media, and somewhere along the way, her brain melted,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains.“So clearly, it is her life’s mission now to just make Donald Trump look bad,” she says.“Is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. service members?” Collins asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt at a recent press conference.“No,” Leavitt answered. “It’s the position of this administration that the press in this room and the press across the country should accurately report on the success of Operation Epic Fury.”“So we can all be very grateful that we have an administration and that we have men and women in our armed forces who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for the rest of us in this room and for every American across the country and for every troop that is based in the Middle East,” she added.Collins then interjected that Pete Hegseth “was complaining that it was front-page news about these six service members who were killed.”“That’s not what the secretary said, Kaitlin, and that’s not what the secretary meant. And you know it — you know you’re being disingenuous. We’ve never had a secretary of defense who cares more,” Leavitt responded.Collins again interjected, reading Hegseth’s comment, which included that "the press only wants to make the president look bad.”“The press does only want to make the president look bad. That’s a fact,” Leavitt said.“We expect you to cover that as you should, Kaitlan. But you and your network know that you take every single thing this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad,” she added.Collins continued to argue, but she was no match for Leavitt, who pointed out that “CNN’s overwhelming coverage” of President Donald Trump is “negative” and that the American people would agree with that.“There’s no disputing that,” Gonzales comments. “The American people don’t want to hear from CNN, because we all know this is, of course, the agenda. This is the playbook. It’s the only playbook that they have.”Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
