There’s a Type of Butter That is Better for Cooking, and Produces Less of a Notoriously Toxic Chemical Than Other Cooking Oils
The way we cook our food has changed dramatically over the past several decades, with cheap vegetable oils like soy and canola taking over the top spots among chefs and restaurants alike. This change has been devastating to public health according to some institutions and researchers. Meanwhile, a growing holistic health trend has continued ever since among people who prefer cooking the old fashioned way: with products that are high in saturated fat like butter and coconut oil. What many people don’t realize is that there is a type of butter with a higher smoke point that regular bu... read more

Border Patrol opens a gate closed by Texas National Guard
Red States: The Texas National Guard has been doing all they can to help stop the massive influx of illegal aliens across the border under Operation Lone Star. That’s the effort by Texas to make up for the failure of Joe Biden to stop the flood. Biden’s team has handcuffed the Border Patrol from doing its job. The numbers coming in are astronomical. But if it wasn’t clear what the purpose of the Biden team is, the actions of Biden’s Border Patrol on Wednesday made the aims explicit. The Texas National Guard locked the gate which was on private property in the Del Rio sector to p... read more

Motives for search of Mar-a-Lago questioned
Victoria Taft: ... These circumstances raise one question and may answer another. First, why conduct a smash and grab raid at the “early stages” when you haven’t investigated enough to know what you need to make your case? This goes to another important issue. Was this why the warrant was so vague and “overly broad”? How could a warrant that had under its aegis every piece of paper ever generated during Trump’s presidency *not* be overly broad? “Overly broad” is a legal term of art suggesting we are veering into *unconstitutional* territory.

The System Is Causing Food Crisis, Not The War
Worsening harvests, infertile soil and increasing food poverty are affecting the majority of small farmers across the globe, especially in the Global South.
