Washington Post to remove senior politics editor in wake of Trump victory



The Washington Post will soon remove its senior politics editor as the fallout from President-elect Donald Trump's decisive electoral victory continues to wreak havoc at liberal media outlets across the country.

According to a Thursday report from Lachlan Cartwright of the Hollywood Reporter, Dan Eggen, a longtime WaPo employee and current senior politics editor, delivered the news to his colleagues in a cryptic email.

"I struggled with how to write this message since there is an element of begging to it that is not particularly attractive. But what the hey: I was informed Monday that I will be removed as senior politics editor at the end of the year. I will leave it to others to explain why."

The news certainly comes as a shock, considering Eggen's lengthy career at the outlet. Eggen first joined the paper more than 25 years ago and was promoted to senior politics editor in 2022. Eggen professed to be "crushed" by the decision to remove him, Cartwright added.

Whether Eggen will remain at the outlet following his apparent demotion remains unclear.

In response to a request for comment, a spokesperson told the New York Post that the Washington Post does not comment on personnel decisions.

'Most people believe the media is biased.'

The move comes just weeks after the WaPo refused to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, the second major left-leaning outlet to do so in the 2024 election. The Los Angeles Times likewise opted not to endorse a candidate, prompting a flurry of resignations and a significant drop in subscriptions.

Both the Washington Post, owned by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, and the Los Angeles Times seem to want to change the way they cover the political landscape in the U.S. In an op-ed published on October 28, Bezos admitted that his and other outlets have lost the trust of readers because of political bias.

"We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement. Most people believe the media is biased," he wrote, as Blaze News previously reported.

L.A. Times owner Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong has also said that the entire editorial board at his outlet will be replaced and that the new board will include conservative "voices."

"I will work towards making our paper and media fair and balanced so that all voices are heard and we can respectfully exchange every American's view," Soon-Shiong posted to X on November 10.

Print media are not the only outlets to abandon their leftist perches, at least publicly. Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of "Morning Joe" on MSNBC recently paid Trump a visit at Mar-a-Lago to "restart communications."

"In this meeting, President Trump was tearful. He was upbeat. He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues," Brzezinski said on Monday. "And for those asking why we would go speak to the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back, why wouldn't we?"

In the days since the announced meeting with Trump, "Morning Joe" ratings have tanked 15%, as liberal viewers reportedly see it as a betrayal.

‘The View’ hosts’ Thanksgiving advice: Don’t break bread with Trump voters



Thanksgiving is almost here, and Americans across the country are getting ready to break bread, sip wine, and bask in their gratitude for their loved ones. But not all Americans are preparing to share the love.

Instead, some are forgoing Thanksgiving festivities altogether based on who their loved ones voted for — and celebrities like Sunny Hostin of “The View” are cheering them on.

“I would never let politics be the reason I don’t show up to see my family because they won’t always be there,” Sara Haines said in a heated debate with Hostin on the liberal show.

“I’m going to disagree,” Hostin replied. “I really do feel that this candidate, President-elect Trump, is just a different type of candidate. From the things he’s said and the things he’s done, and the things he will do, it’s more of a moral issue for me.”


“I think it’s more of a moral issue for other people,” she continued. “So I think when people feel that someone voted not only against their families but against them, and against people that they love, I think it’s okay to take a beat.”

Whoopi Goldberg then jumped in with her infinite wisdom to agree with Hostin, explaining that “somebody who tells me that my child is wrong because of how he or she feels, that tells me that they shouldn’t be allowed to be who they are with my permission, I have to question.”

“I don’t want to put my kid in that position. I don’t want to put my gay child in a position where she has to sit with someone who doesn’t understand her and feels like it’s okay to just blurt all that out,” Goldberg added.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” isn’t surprised they took this route but does wholeheartedly disagree.

“Thanksgiving is coming, and that’s when we here in America sit down with friends and family, and we eat and we drink and we celebrate freedom, and we take a moment to be thankful for all of the goodness that this great country has afforded us in almost 250 years of existence,” Rubin says.

“Unless you’re someone on ‘The View,’ in which case you shouldn’t invite people you like and you should probably ruin the day for everybody,” he adds.

Hugh Hewitt abruptly quits Washington Post over inaccurate, biased reporting: 'Unfair election ad'



On Friday, radio host Hugh Hewitt abruptly quit the Washington Post shortly after walking off the Post Live's "First Look," accusing the liberal panelists of engaging in an "unfair election ad" rather than objective journalism.

Hewitt had been a contributing columnist for the Post since 2017. He told Fox News Digital on Friday afternoon, “I have in fact quit the Post but I was only writing a column for them every six weeks or so.”

During a roundtable discussion, the "First Look" host, Jonathan Capehart, repeatedly attempted to "fact-check" Hewitt's remarks without giving him a chance to respond.

Trump 'was right, and he won in court. That's the story.'

The show reached a boiling point when Capehart and Ruth Marcus, the Post's associate editor, accused former President Donald Trump of "laying the groundwork" to contest the upcoming election. As a united front, the two journalists claimed that Trump has been making unfounded allegations of "cheating." Specifically, they mentioned a recent lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee against Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

The lawsuit was filed after locals claimed that the county illegally turned them away from voting centers. On Wednesday, Trump and the RNC won the case against the county, forcing it to extend early voting through November 1, Blaze News previously reported.

"Is it me, or does it seem like this week Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election by complaining that cheating was taking place in Pennsylvania by suing Bucks County for alleged irregularities?" Capehart asked Marcus. "And this is on top of his continual assertion that if he loses, it's because of cheating."

Hewitt shook his head during Capehart's question, clearly already frustrated with the direction of the discussion.

Marcus responded, "Uh, yeah. That's what he's been laying the groundwork for this, just not in the last week but in the last umpty-umpth months. No election can be fair in Donald Trump's mind unless Donald Trump wins it. And I think we are going to see him both rev up his supporters to contest elections outside of courtrooms and go to every courtroom he can in America where it's relevant to make whatever arguments he can, no matter how far-fetched."

Hewitt responded, "Bucks County was reversed by the court and instructed to open up extra days because they violated the law and told people to go home. So that lawsuit was brought by the Republican National Committee, and it was successful."

"We are news people even though we have opinions, and we have to report the whole story if we bring up part of the story. So, yes, he's [Trump] upset about Bucks County, but he was right, and he won in court," Hewitt added. "That's the story."

After Hewitt concluded his remarks, there were several moments of silence as Capehart slowly dragged his pen over his apparent notes with a seemingly smug and unenthused grin.

"I'll let you keep going, Jonathan," Marcus stated, filling the dead air.

"Um, no, I'm just — don't appreciate being lectured about reporting when, Hugh, many times you've come here saying lots of things that aren't based in fact," Capehart remarked.

"I won't come back, Jonathan," Hewitt snapped as he removed his earpiece.

"This is the most unfair election ad I've ever been a part of. You guys are working. That's fine."

"I'm done!" Hewitt declared as he walked off camera.

Capehart attempted to continue the discussion with Marcus, but her video feed froze mid-sentence. He explained that the show tried reconnecting with Marcus but that the attempt was unsuccessful.

"Okay, we lost her again," he stated before abruptly closing the show.

The Washington Post told Fox News Digital, “As the newsroom’s live journalism platform, Washington Post Live is known for its dynamic conversations and thought-provoking perspectives on top issues of the day, such as this morning's ‘First Look’ program.”

Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post, acknowledged in an opinion piece early this week that the public no longer views the media, including the Post, as accurate, Blaze News previously reported. He noted that the newspaper would not endorse a presidential candidate because it would "create a perception of bias" and "non-independence."

Harris Campaign, Liberal Media Outlets Push False Claim About JD Vance Calling School Shootings ‘Fact Of Life’

'She lies about what I said'

Don’t blame Trump for the decline of civility



On a recent episode of the New York Times’ podcast “The Daily,” host Michael Barbaro accompanied a Kamala Harris campaign worker as he knocked on the doors of undecided voters in Wisconsin.

Those who answered the door expressed a broad range of opinions, yet most remained skeptical of both candidates. One woman, identified only as Emily, conceded that while she does support some of Donald Trump’s policies, she views him as a divisive figure.

The regime has made it abundantly clear that civility is dependent on one thing: subservience. Only those who submit are to be treated fairly.

“His rhetoric has definitely had a huge part in the division of this country,” she told the New York Times, “that’s for sure.”

Is it? Are we really so certain that our inflamed political and cultural climate is mostly the fault of one man?

Passing the blame

The New York Times would likely say yes. Like its competitors, the paper has made the same point in more than a few articles published since 2016.

This explanation also no doubt appeals to Times readers, as it absolves them of any wrongdoing and places all the blame on Donald Trump, public enemy number one.

Emily is right about one thing: Most Americans do view our political differences as insurmountable. According to a Pew Research Center study published in June, only 18% of Americans believe any common ground exists between Republicans and Democrats on the issue of abortion. For immigration, the figure is 21%; for the economy, 32%. And these numbers represent a significant decline from January 2023.

But political disagreements are bound to arise in any country. What matters is how they are handled — and that’s where civility comes into play. The Cambridge Dictionary defines the term as “politeness,” which is a start. But civility, especially within a political context, entails something much deeper: the ability to agree to disagree.

Disagreeing to disagree

By all appearances, Americans are losing that ability. The American Bar Association’s 2023 Survey of Civic Literacy found that 85% of Americans “believe civility is worse compared to ten years ago.” Respondents cited social media (29%), media in general (24%), and public officials (19%) as culprits. In other words, while politics is a factor, it is not the only one.

But within the realm of politics, what exactly is responsible for this decline of civility? Liberals are bound to point the finger at Trump, whose frankness certainly offends their politically correct sensibilities.

Their own rhetoric, however, is far from angelic; consider the vitriol directed at whites, Christians, men, and other groups deemed to be “oppressors” in recent years. There is clearly plenty of offensive speech to be found on both sides of the aisle.

Declaring war

What differentiates the two camps, however, is that the left is maniacally obsessed with demolishing the right. Censorship, deplatforming, lawfare, doxxing, shunning, firing — these are all arrows in the left’s quiver, arrows that are almost always only aimed at conservatives.

In response, some to the right of center have adopted a similarly combative approach to politics. It is not uncommon to see conservatives call for the cancellation of, say, teachers who promote radical gender ideology to children. Yet conservatives lack the requisite institutional power to match the left’s tactics — and it was the left that let this particular cat out of the bag in the first place.

By declaring war on Trump, liberal elites declared war on civility itself. You cannot in good faith weaponize the federal government and mainstream media against a president and his supporters and then turn around and blame them for an increasingly uncivil political climate. Yet that is precisely what they have done, and it is what they will surely continue to do.

The regime has made it abundantly clear that civility is dependent on one thing: subservience. Only those who submit are to be treated fairly. But lawfully challenge the regime through the electoral process, as Trump did, and you will invoke the wrath of our wonderfully impartial institutions.

Those in power have much to lose from a successful right-wing counterrevolution, so they have no intention of playing nicely. For them, everything is on the line.

As such, it should be clear that there will be no great rebirth of civility as long as the current status quo persists. Only peaceful regime change offers a path out of the madness.

Days after RFK Jr. signaled desire to 'Make America Healthy Again,' Time issues defense of ultra-processed foods



Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed Friday that a major factor behind his decision to endorse President Donald Trump was the opportunity to help "Make America Healthy Again" in a future Trump administration.

"Don't you want healthy children?" said Kennedy. "And don't you want the chemicals out of our food? And don't you want the regulatory agencies to be free from corporate corruption? And that's what President Trump told me that he wanted."

Days later, Time magazine signaled a possible narrative shift regarding American health with an article titled "What if Ultra-Processed Foods Aren't as Bad as You Think?" — having just months earlier published an article entitled "Why Ultra-Processed Foods Are So Bad for You."

Kennedy, unwilling to buy what Time appeared to be selling, tweeted, "Yeah, what if? And what if ultra-processed foods are WORSE than you think?"

The newly minted Trump ally was responding to a post from Dr. Casey Means, the co-founder of the food-health monitoring company Levels, who hammered Time for the apparent attempt in the Monday article to rehabilitate ultra-processed foods' public image.

"Mainstream media playbook," Means wrote on X. "When the culture seems to be turning TOWARDS health, rapidly spin up a BS article (like this one that was published yesterday in TIME)" in order to

  • seed confusion;
  • normalize the problem with a "meaningless anecdote";
  • distract and shut down the discourse by focusing "intensely on social justice issues and questions of food access rather than science";
  • "mention but then QUICKLY minimize the innumerable studies that say ultraprocessed foods impair hormones, metabolic health, and are associated with early death"; and
  • avoid mention of "funding sources and conflicts of interest at NIH, USDA, FDA, academia, OR THE NEWS OUTLET THAT IS PUBLISHING THE ARTICLE."
Kennedy added, "And don't talk about the conflicts at NGO's like NAACP and the Diabetes groups that get their funding from the processed food lobbyists."

A race-obsessive's fight to be unhealthy

Time's controversial article by Jamie Ducharme — the health correspondent who suggested in 2021 that debilitating vaccine side effects were "normal" — told the tale of how pro-obesity dietician Jessica Wilson took offense at the success and conclusions of an actual medical doctor's recent book concerning the consequences of ultra-processed foods.

Ducharme wrote:

Wilson, who specializes in working with clients from marginalized groups, was irked. She felt that van Tulleken's experiment was over-sensationalized and that the news coverage of it shamed people who regularly eat processed foods — in other words, the vast majority of Americans, particularly the millions who are food insecure or have limited access to fresh food; they also tend to be lower income and people of color. Wilson felt the buzz ignored this "food apartheid," as well as the massive diversity of foods that can be considered ultra-processed.

Dr. Chris van Tulleken, a practicing infectious diseases doctor who earned both his medical degree and his Ph.D. in molecular virology at Oxford University, recently penned an international best-seller titled "Ultra-Processed People: Why We Can't Stop Eating Food That Isn't Food."

As part of what appears to have been a marketing campaign for the book, Tulleken increased his intake of ultra-processed foods for a month, such that they accounted for 80% of his diet. He was left with anecdotal evidence of what he had otherwise demonstrated on the basis of hard science.

"Ultra-processed foods" are defined in the NOVA food classification system as:

industrial formulations made entirely or mostly from substances extracted from foods (oils, fats, sugar, starch, and proteins), derived from food constituents (hydrogenated fats and modified starch), or synthesized in laboratories from food substrates or other organic sources (flavor enhancers, colors, and several food additives used to make the product hyper-palatable). Manufacturing techniques include extrusion, moulding and preprocessing by frying. Beverages may be ultra-processed.

Examples of ultra-processed foods include store-bought biscuits; frozen desserts, chocolate and candies; soda and other carbonated soft drinks; prepackaged meat and vegetables; frozen pizzas; fish sticks and chicken nuggets; packaged breads; instant noodles; chocolate milk; breakfast cereals; and sweetened juices.

Tulleken told the BBC that after a month of primarily eating ultra-processed food, "I felt ten years older."

'Ultra-processed foods exposure was consistently associated with 32 adverse health outcomes.'

The doctor indicated that during the experiment, his hormones and weight destabilized; his brain underwent changes; the quality of his sleep worsened; he experienced anxiety; and he suffered heartburn, a low libido, and sluggishness.

"If it can do that in four weeks to my 42-year-old brain, what is it doing to the fragile developing brains of our children?" asked Tulleken.

Lethal groceries

Blaze News reported earlier this year that a massive peer-reviewed study published in the BMJ, the British Medical Association's esteemed journal, found evidence pointing to "direct associations between greater exposure to ultra-processed foods and higher risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease related mortality, common mental disorder outcomes, overweight and obesity, and type 2 diabetes."

The international team of researchers from institutions such as the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Sydney School of Public Health found that ultra-processed foods exposure was consistently associated with 32 adverse health outcomes, including all-cause mortality; cancer-related deaths; cardiovascular disease-related deaths; heart disease-related deaths; breast cancer; central nervous system tumors; chronic lymphocytic leukemia; colorectal cancer; pancreatic cancer; prostate cancer; adverse sleep-related outcomes; anxiety; common mental disorder outcomes; depression; asthma; wheezing; Crohn's disease; ulcerative colitis; obesity; hypertension; and type 2 diabetes.

"On the basis of the random effects model, 32 (71%) distinct pooled analyses showed direct associations between greater ultra-processed food exposure and a higher risk of adverse health outcomes," said the study. "Additionally, of these combined analyses, 11 (34%) showed continued statistical significance when a more stringent threshold was applied."

Heart disease-related death, cardiovascular disease-related death, all-cause mortality, type 2 diabetes, wheezing, and depression were among the 11 adverse health outcomes that showed continued statistical significance in the face of the more stringent threshold.

Junk science

Prickled both by Tulleken's discussion of such harmful health effects and by his firsthand experience with their impact, Wilson — an activist who ran a "6 week queer exploration of the joys and terrors of having a body," touts herself as the "co-creator of the Amplify Melanated Voices challenge," and apparently believes the desire for thinness is racist — reportedly asked herself, "How can this entire category of foods be something we're supposed to avoid?"

According to Time, Wilson similarly adjusted her diet for so that 80% of what she ate for a month was highly processed foods.

After Wilson chowed down on soy chorizo, Trader Joe's ready-to-eat tamales, cashew-milk yogurt with jam, tater tots, and other highly processed foods for a month, Time reported, "A weird thing happened."

"Wilson found that she had more energy and less anxiety. She didn't need as much coffee to get through the day and felt more motivated. She felt better eating an ultra-processed diet than she had before, a change she attributes to taking in more calories by eating full meals, instead of haphazard combinations of whole-food ingredients," wrote Ducharme.

Time magazine's health correspondent posed the question: "How could two people eating the same type of foods have such different experiences? And could it be true that not all ultra-processed foods deserve their bad reputation?"

Despite citing numerous legitimate studies indicating ultra-processed foods are indeed harming and possibly even killing Americans, Ducharme hedged, writing:

Most people who care about their health have the same question about processed foods: Are they killing me? And right now — despite their looming possible inclusion in dietary guidelines — no one really knows the answer. There's limited cause-and-effect research on how processed foods affect health, and scientists and policymakers have yet to come up with a good way to, as Hess says, "meaningfully delineate between nutrient-dense foods and nutrient-poor options."

The Time article concluded with Wilson's insinuation that she would choose ultra-processed foods "every time" if it meant going to bed feeling full.

The article has been roundly ridiculed online, with many critics noting the politically expedient timing of its release.

Adam Johnston, of the Substack "Conquest Theory," responded to the article, writing, "We can't speak the truth about ultra-processed foods because it will shame marginalized groups. So we have to keep pretending our diets are healthy while obesity soars and people die. We wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of marginalized groups, now would we?"

Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon noted, "If you need more motivation to ditch ultra-processed foods, this headline from this publication should do the trick."

"Not a week after @RobertKennedJr raised the awareness back to the masses on the dangers of ultra-processed foods," wrote Turning Point USA spokeswoman Isabel Brown.

CNN's latest hit piece on JD Vance affords Harris a new talking point — but is undone by buried details



Keen observers have highlighted that buried within CNN's latest hit piece targeting Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) are the seeds of the intended narrative's undoing.

A quad of CNN writers penned a Tuesday piece over 2,200 words long titled "Workers allege 'nightmare' conditions at Kentucky startup JD Vance helped fund."

Their hit piece begins by highlighting Vance's alleged guiding principle for investing in a company: "A business should not only turn a profit, it should also help American communities." The rest of the article is formulated to suggest that Vance's principle(s) failed him when it came to investing in AppHarvest, an agricultural company that proved neither profitable nor helpful.

This carefully constructed and exploitable narrative is, however, undermined by admissions in the CNN article that other publications may seek to gloss over or omit.

For instance, the horror stories regarding working conditions at the company are undercut by officials' sources also cited in the piece. This incongruity alone should kneecap the intended narrative, but even more ruinous to the point CNN is trying to make is its own admission that the business hired migrant workers, faced lawsuits, and collapsed long after Vance had moved on.

The hit piece has, however, already served its purpose, furnishing leftist blogs and mainstream publications with claims to decontextualize and distort at Vance's expense.

The New Republic, for instance, concluded: "With Vance touting his business record as the Republican vice presidential nominee, AppHarvest is another big strike against him and the campaign."

Kamala Harris rapid response director Ammar Moussa has also seized on the article, personally assigning blame to Vance.

"Wow. This is a devastating deep dive into some of JD Vance's business ventures. Not only did this company go bankrupt, he treated workers horribly, making them work in unbelievable circumstances," wrote Moussa.

The Harris campaign has proven itself willing to rewrite history and news headlines for political gain. Although this Orwellian reflex has diminished the need for abettors in the press, the liberal media appears keen to continue producing ammunition for Democrats' various character assassination attempts on President Donald Trump and his running mate.

CNN's latest offering hints at an attempt to try something new — to attack the Republican candidate's business acumen. After all, recent accusations of weirdness have largely failed to stick, and, unlike that of Harris' running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D), Vance's military record appears untouchable — although editors at Wikipedia certainly have tried.

The company

In the wake of the success of his memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," Vance was reportedly hired by AOL co-founder Steve Chase in 2017 to help his seed fund Rise of the Rest invest in underserved markets. According to CNN, Vance met with Jonathan Webb, the founder of an Appalachian indoor-agriculture company called AppHarvest.

Webb, who had a big idea — "to build an indoor vertical farming hub growing fruits and vegetables, one that was within a day’s drive of most of the US population, and where water and land were abundant" — was reportedly desperate for liquidity, having maxed out his savings and credit.

Vance cut a check to invest in the company as did a number of other early investors. While supposedly named to the board of directors that year, there are other indications he did not formally join until 2020.

During the time he was involved, Vance reportedly drove millions of dollars in capital to the company while helming his own venture capital firm Narya to ensure the success of the agri-business.

The company, which went on to draw investment from other big names, including Martha Stewart and former Impossible Foods CFO David Lee, went public in February 2021 and at one time reportedly saw a total valuation of over $1 billion.

Vance left the company's board in April 2021. At the time he noted on X:

My ability to be useful now that it's a public company is limited, I'm thinking about a political run, and whatever I do politically, I hate the insane reigning political orthodoxy ... so last month, I started talking with other members of the board about stepping down. The basic thinking was: I'm going to keep speaking my mind, and I’d rather do that unconstrained by the demands of a public board. And I thought the company would be better off too.

Despite its promise, the company subsequently hit turbulence, was slapped with multiple lawsuits, and ultimately went belly up.

When AppHarvest, starting down over $341 million in debt, declared bankruptcy last year, its chief financial officer said in court documents that the company was effectively tanked "due to lower than expected yield across all crops, higher than expected costs, and tightening of the equity markets and declining stock prices."

The accusations

CNN reduplicated the 2023 efforts of the leftist climate mag Grist in its hit piece, platforming allegations from a handful of former employees about supposedly demanding quotas and intolerable working conditions, mainly tied to issues with heat in the greenhouse.

Anthony Morgan, another former AppHarvest worker, said that conditions and benefits at the 60-acre greenhouse in Morehead, Kentucky, started off nicely, but deteriorated over time. Morgan alleged that the company progressively cut costs along with some benefits, and production quotas were raised, meaning more time in the hot greenhouse.

"It was a nightmare that should have never happened," said Morgan.

Months after Vance was no longer involved in the company, CNN indicated the company began relying upon migrant labor. These migrant workers were allegedly kept out of sight when politicians and other "bigwigs" toured the facilities.

In the wake of AppHarvest's legal difficulties and ultimate collapse, a number of former employees suggested to CNN that Vance and other board members "should have recognized and responded to warning signs that company officials were misleading the public and their own investors."

"Making the decision to go to work at AppHarvest, like many of us made, the livelihood just went right down the drain," Morgan said. "I blame all of the original investors."

Buried revelations

CNN's hit piece contains numerous narrative-killing admissions and statements.

For instance, while Vance reportedly remained invested in the company, CNN acknowledged that he "stepped down from AppHarvest's board and launched his political career in 2021."

CNN also indicated at the end of the article that "Vance was not named in any of the lawsuits" AppHarvest has been met with.

'This is a devastating deep dive into Kamala's desperation.'

Where complaints over intolerable working conditions and benefit cuts are concerned, the article says that state government inspectors visited AppHarvest facilities on at least three occasions but never issued citations. Furthermore, "Inspectors noted that they observed or heard about safety precautions during their visits, such as mandatory heat breaks and drinks offered to employees."

A Kentucky Education and Labor Cabinet spokesman told CNN that inspections of AppHarvest facilities found no violations of "national guidelines recommended to protect employees from heat-related illnesses, including regular access to fresh drinking water, rest breaks and opportunities to escape high temperatures."

A member of AppHarvest's senior management team told CNN in a forwarded statement:

The allegations made against AppHarvest do not reflect matters discussed at board meetings during JD's tenure — for obvious reasons. AppHarvest implemented robust heat policies when temperatures rose in the summer, months after JD's departure, continued to cover 100% of employees' health insurance premiums until mid-2022, and maintained a workforce dedicated to Appalachia throughout its existence.

Critics have blasted CNN for the article and the Harris campaign for distorting the facts further.

Abigail Jackson, communications director for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), responded to Harris rapid response director Ammar Moussa's repost of the article, noting, "JD had nothing to do with it. JD was long gone from the company before any of these awful problems arose and CNN decided to bury that critical piece of info at the bottom of their article."

The MAGA War Room account tweeted, "Wow. This is a devastating deep dive into Kamala's desperation. Article literally says none of this happened while JD was a part of the company. Fake news!"

Liberal media BLAMES Trump for the assassination attempt ... on Trump



Former President Donald Trump may have narrowly survived an assassination attempt, but the mainstream media hasn’t wasted any time blaming him for it.

“‘Donald Trump contributed to the environment,’ says George Stephanopoulos and this hideous Martha Raddatz,” Mark Levin comments, adding, “They will hang on every syllable that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth looking for anything they can hang on to.”

And that's exactly what they've done.

“As you point out ... President Trump and his supporters have contributed to this violent rhetoric as well,” Stephanopoulos said to his co-host the day after the assassination attempt.

“Trump in January warned of bedlam in the country if the criminal charges against him succeeded. And of course, in March he said, ‘Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country,’” Raddatz added, leaving out the fact that Trump had been discussing the auto industry.

It's unsurprisingly the same thing the Democrats have done with January 6, despite Trump specifically telling his supporters to be peaceful.

“He specifically told them ‘yes,’ but protest peacefully — which they always cut out because it destroys their narrative,” Levin says, noting that the amount of times Trump has been called Hitler because of it is off the charts.

Trump had also offered 10,000 armed National Guardsmen to protect the Capitol building on January 6, but the offer was rejected by the Democrats.

“They keep trying to lie about that and punch holes in that because it gives the lie to their propaganda about January 6th and Donald Trump’s so-called role,” Levin says.

“And even when Biden gave that pathetic speech in which he didn’t apologize and took responsibility for nothing when he’s the leader of the pack, the examples that were given, he didn’t give examples about the violence in the streets the last ten months with the Islamists and the Marxists,” he continues.

“The Democrat Party has a hugely violent past, from slavery and the confederacy forward. He’s the head of the Democrat Party. He could have tamped this down a long time ago,” he adds.

Man PREDICTED Trump’s failed assassination — but is he really a ‘prophet’?



As rumors swirl around the failed assassination of Donald Trump, one Christian “prophet” is going viral for predicting the event months ago.

The man, Brandon Biggs, claimed that he saw an attempt on Trump’s life.

“The bullet flew by his ear and it came so close to his head that it busted his eardrum,” Biggs said. “He fell to his knees during this time frame and he started worshiping the Lord. He got radically born again.”

While it’s eerie how similar the vision is to what actually happened, there are pieces of the story that don’t quite add up.

And Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” isn’t buying it.

“It sounds similar to what happened over the weekend, but that doesn’t cut it for a prophet of God,” Stuckey explains. “A true prophet of God who received a vision from God — which I will always have the utmost skepticism about and you should too — will be right. They will be 100% right.”

“They won’t say something that is similar to something that happened. I don’t think that Trump blew his eardrum. I didn’t hear anything about that. Did he really drop to his knees, start worshiping God? I mean, I guess this person could say that was a metaphorical part of the vision.”

“Look, in these chaotic and crazy times, there are always going to be people who will capitalize on your fear to tell you that God has given them some kind of vision,” she continues, adding, “Again, if they are from God, they are going to be 100% right. I don’t know anyone who fits the bill.”
