    Florida is doing what no blue-state classroom dares: forcing students to confront the actual body count of communism instead of romanticizing it. Starting this fall, every public school student from sixth grade onward will receive mandatory instruction on the history and evils of communism under standards signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The curriculum covers the Soviet Union, the Chinese Communist Revolution, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and the recent capture of Nicolás Maduro. It details the mass deaths under Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Castro, the failure of collectivism, and the superiority of free enterprise and private property....

  • Blueberry recall upgraded to FDA’s highest risk level… ‘reasonable probability of death’

    08/19/2026 5:49:33 PM PDT · by Red Badger · 53 replies
    A voluntary recall of frozen organic blueberries has been elevated to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s most serious risk category after evidence linked the products to a potentially life-threatening bacterial contamination. According to a report from the Daily Mail, the FDA has reclassified the recall of GreenWise Organic frozen blueberries as Class I. That designation applies when there is a “reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.” The original recall was initiated last month by Chile-based Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur SA after testing detected a...

    Another ugly example of America’s collapsing standards of public behavior reportedly unfolded aboard a cruise ship in Florida, where authorities say an allegedly intoxicated couple responded to a simple request for quiet by forcing their way into a family’s cabin and attacking everyone inside, including a 9-year-old child. Gannon Jacox, 29, and his girlfriend Brooklyn Hicks, 28, were arrested Saturday evening at Port Canaveral after the ship docked. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey laid out the outrageous details in a Facebook post that left little to the imagination. According to Ivey, Jacox and Hicks “were apparently arguing loudly after taking...

    Randy Fine easily fends off Hitler-fan Bilzerian, who loves pro-ISIS Islam convert and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate.: The Hebrew Hammer and the Antisemitic Circus Randy Fine did not merely win a Republican primary in Florida. He decisively turned back one of the strangest and ugliest primary challenges in recent American politics. Randy Fine won roughly 57% of the vote in Florida's 6th Congressional District, while social-media influencer Dan Bilzerian finished below 19%. Bilzerian had tried to make the contest a referendum on Fine's Jewish identity. His campaign descended into explicit antisemitism, including an AI-generated attack video portraying Fine through...

    It was a crowded field of Republican candidates vying for the chance to succeed Gov. Ron DeSantis – who is term-limited and unable to run for reelection a third time – but Florida Republicans made a decisive choice Tuesday night: Rep. Byron Donalds (FL-19) will be the GOP nominee for governor. Donalds beat out 10 other candidates to seal the nomination, with preliminary results showing him sitting around 49 percent, compared with 25 percent for Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, 10 percent for James Fishback, and 8 percent for Paul Renner. On the Democrat side, former Republican congressman David Jolly cruised...

    Another really amazing pandemic clip. October, 2021. CNN sends a reporter to Miami to investigate a school that is considered "anti-vax." While there the reporter runs into a parent who says that he is not going to have his children get the Covid vaccine. While being harassed by the CNN lackey, the parent says that fully vaccinated people are still dying from Covid and that Fauci is not the best scientist in the world. The CNN clown scoffs at him and tells him he is wrong. This exact same week the former head of the CDC Robert Redfield said that...

    WASHINGTON — A Democratic Socialists of America candidate running for Congress in Florida appeared to cut a weekend TV interview short when the journo started fact-checking his allegation that Israel is committing genocide. Wannabe House member Oliver Larkin, who is vying to unseat Dem Rep. Jared Moskowitz, pointed to the United Nations, Amnesty International and some Israeli human-rights organizations in trying to make the claim, but top “This Week in South Florida” host Glenna Milberg wasn’t having it. “That is factually incorrect,” she bluntly told him. “There’s the definition of genocide in the UN. The UN has said this does...

    WASHINGTON — The feds nabbed 11 suspects accused of operating a decade-long, multimillion-dollar marriage fraud scheme that resulted in around 1,000 sham weddings between primarily Chinese nationals and US citizens for the purpose of getting the Asians green cards. The “cottage industry” uncovered Wednesday charged foreign nationals up to $100,000 for each fake union, including submitting fraudulent applications to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of those seeking lawful permanent residency. The sham wedding ring used advertisements on social media platforms, held phony marraige ceremonies and even had both parties to the fake unions sign bizarre pre-nuptial agreements,...

    In a newly unearthed video, disgraced former Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman said both President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are “enemies” of America. Now running for U.S. Senate in Florida, Vindman has built his campaign around his obsessive hatred of President Trump and anyone who supports him. Appearing on a podcast called “Rick Wilson’s The Enemies List,” Vindman says: “Which enemy are we talking about here? Are we talking about Russia and Putin? Are we talking about Trump and Trumpism?… Striking similarities actually.” The comments are just the latest vitriol from the Vindman family, which includes his brother, Virginia Democrat...
