His long-time girlfriend Alexandra Grant posted this photo to confirm that there were no nuptials. So he’s still available ladies, but not really because he seems very loyal to this lucky gal!

Lead: The Tylenol Whiplash

Before President Trump warned pregnant women to avoid Tylenol, Tylenol said exactly the same thing.
This 2017 Tweet from Tylenol is trending because the company clearly stated that they “don’t recommend using any of our products while pregnant.” And yet, on Tuesday, they issued this statement saying that they “believe” Tylenol is fine for pregnant women.
All of this freakout because the Trump administration said that it wanted more cautious guidelines and data about this! Is it really worth a fight to ask for more caution and research!?
Apparently, to people who dislike President Trump, it is. If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, then now everyone loves Tylenol.
The World Health Organization is now ignoring this and declaring Tylenol safe. Barack Obama says that President Trump’s declaration is “violence against the truth.” Health officials in the U.K. refute it full stop.
Why would they do this? It’s almost as if they care more about the pharmaceutical companies than their patients.
On Wednesday, one nurse went viral after she reported that she had a patient who went into liver failure and is likely to die because she overdosed on Tylenol in protest of President Trump. That doesn’t prove anything other than that woman is a selfish mother. May her blessed baby be saved.
Dallas ICE Attack: FBI Spin and the Labeling Game

The FBI says that the man who opened fire at a Dallas ICE facility had Anti-ICE inscriptions on the bullet shavings, leading us to believe that he was a leftist.
But that is the FBI’s narrative of this and the FBI lies. This feels like a familiar and stupid exercise in class warfare as of late.
A crazy person does something demonic, authorities and the media try to pin their motive on one group, their social media is analyzed, and no questions are ever answered while partisans fight over it on X. The exercise itself feels dangerous.
A recent article from The Atlantic says that “left-wing terrorism is on the rise” but the article refuses to call out the far-left. According to The Atlantic, there is only the “far-right” and “left-wing” and the right is currently not doing violence because Trump is in office so “their interests are already being taken care of.”
Also, according to The Atlantic, violent lefties are nicer because they only target one person like Charlie Kirk or President Trump, whereas violent right-wingers take out whole groups. Wrong. Several recent school shooters were trans radical lefties, did they forget this?
It can feel satisfying to blame entire political groups for these tragedies but even with this skewed viewpoint, what really is the point? If officials and the media keep slapping ideological labels on attacks while withholding hard facts, the labeling isn’t to uncover truth or stop future violence—it’s to steer public opinion and keep control of the narrative. We can’t keep playing this game.
War Hits Wallets—Shield Yours with Gold
Cities crumble in conflict—and so can currencies. With Washington spending at wartime speed, the U.S. debt has rocketed past $34 trillion and the interest tab alone tops $1 trillion a year. The “fix”? Print more dollars—fueling inflation and eroding your savings.
That’s why central banks and billionaires are piling into gold and silver. Goldman Sachs now pegs gold at $4,500/oz by 2026—because real assets thrive when paper money falters.
My family moved a chunk of our nest egg into precious metals years ago; even our kids hold coins. It’s not a fad—it’s financial self-defense.

The New War on Innocence: “Center Childhood Sexual Pleasure,” Say the Scholars

“Children are stereotyped as asexual and innocent” and this is a problem, according to a new academic paper. The authors argue scholars should center “childhood sexual pleasure,” not shield childhood from sexuality.
Their words: “attending to pleasure is indispensable for understanding how childhood sexualities are lived, policed, and transformed. Childhood sexual pleasure is a terrain where domination is felt, contested, resisted, and sometimes overturned.”
Translation: adults shouldn’t “dominate” or police children’s sexuality but should normalize exploration of sexual pleasure. They add that focusing on pre-adolescent pleasure can expose “structures of power” and open “new possibilities for sexual meanings.”
So…protecting kids from confusing sexual experiences? Teaching them to beware of predators? Nah, you don’t really need to do that, argue these sociologists. Instead, refer to “queer theory” to expand “the conversation by interrogating how heteronormative and cisnormative assumptions constrain expressions of pleasure.”
Just when you thought you’d heard everything that demonic academics could throw at you, there is this. And worse is that a scholarly journal published it.
But none of this drops out of the sky. Much of modern sex-research orthodoxy traces to Dr. Alfred Kinsey, founder of the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University. He taught that “sexuality is not an appetite to be curbed” and believed that humans were “pan-sexuals,” looking for sexual encounters with anything and everything. He practiced what he preached. I’m going to describe him to you but if you’re eating something, come back to this.
Dr. Kinsey was a true masochist. He was known to insert objects like toothbrushes and straws into his penis. He circumcised himself with a pocketknife. He tied himself to the ceiling by his scrotum. He landed himself in the hospital for “traumatizing his genitals.”
And yet he is regarded as the father of sexology and, since no one ever stopped this pervert, here we are: children’s “pleasure” is framed as a research imperative, while traditional safeguards are treated as repression.
News By The Numbers

4. That is how many physical fitness tests enlisted members of the Air Force will have to take every six months, according to new rules. The test includes a 2-mile run at least once per year. That is up from a 1.5-mile run required in the past.
6 million. That’s how many viewers Jimmy Kimmel had for his return to ABC on Tuesday. His opening monologue drew more than 15 million (as of this writing) on YouTube. He cast himself as a free-speech hero. His uploads usually average about 240,000 views, so this was a major bump.
$36.95. That is the average price of this McDonald’s order across several U.S. cities, according to this new study: a Big Mac Combo Meal, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe Large Meal, a 6-Piece Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal and a Hamburger Happy Meal. Ordering the same basket via delivery apps (Uber Eats/DoorDash) added nearly 8% to the cost on average.
Huntington’s disease is trending because doctors in the U.K. say that they have successfully cured a case with a new treatment that involves gene therapy given during 12 to 18 hours of delicate brain surgery.
In late 2024, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the CFIA, ordered the killing of about 400 ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farm near Edgewood, B.C after detecting H5N1 avian flu in the area.
These birds have become a viral cause in Canada because there was no proof that they had bird flu and the government threatened to fine the owner if she tested. The Canadian government ordered them to be killed and would accept no alternative.
This week, the government constructed what the owner said was execution tents, arrested her for feeding them, and made it clear that they would take over her property if she did not comply.
And then came the grace of God! Two things stopped the killing on Wednesday: the Supreme Court issued a stay, pending determination of whether or not the Supreme Court takes up the case. It prevented the government from killing the animals in the immediate future.
Also, the owner was able to put the ostriches and the land under the protection of an Indian Tribe, which has issued a Cease and Desist order to protect the birds and land. Let’s see the Canadian government get past that now!
