After a week of online outrage over its rebranding, the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain announced that it was giving in on one key part of its revised image.

In a statement to Fox Business on Tuesday, the company said it would be reverting back to its original logo after having released a cleaner, text-only logo that excised the "old-timer" character.

'We said we would listen, and we have.'

"We thank your guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel," the company said. "We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away, and our ‘Old-Timer’ will remain. At Cracker Barrel, it's always been — and always will be — about serving up delicious food, warm welcomes, and the kind of country hospitality that feels like family."

Some on social media tied the announcement to advice given by President Donald Trump earlier that day on Truth Social.

"Cracker Barrel should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than ever before. They got a Billion Dollars worth of free publicity if they play their cards right," the president wrote.

"Very tricky to do, but a great opportunity. Have a major News Conference today. Make Cracker Barrel a WINNER again," he added.

The rebranding also included a decluttering of the famous interiors to make them more sleek and modern.

The day after the rebranding announcement, the stock price for the company plummeted initially by about 15%. It has since regained much of that loss.

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck vehemently criticized the rebranding.

"Woke ideology has changed our country in countless ways, some of which we may never get back. But Cracker Barrel has always represented the one thing I think so many Americans currently crave: nostalgia," Beck said.

"'Rebrand' all of that to something more modern, something more inclusive, and something that erases those feelings, and you're 'rebranding' the sole reason why anyone goes there to begin with," Beck added.

Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino had previously said the rebrand effort was an attempt to make the chain relevant again.

"As a proud American institution, our 70,000 hardworking employees look forward to welcoming you to our table soon," the company concluded.

Students as young as 11 allegedly forced to take CDC's sexually explicit survey in Massachusetts school district

Parents are outraged after a Massachusetts school district allegedly forced children to take a survey their parents had recused them from, and now the Trump administration is investigating some of the complaints.

Burlington Public Schools is under fire from the feds for allegedly forcing students to participate in surveys that were graphic and sexual in nature.

The Boston Herald reported that students as young as 11 years old were required to take the survey.

According to the Boston Herald, the school district required students to take the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which included questions concerning "sexual intercourse, sexual orientation, gender identity, sexting, experiences with sexual assault, alcohol use, and more."

Even students whose parents had supposedly opted them out of participating in the survey allegedly took it, which, the Trump administration argues, may be a violation of the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, given the nature of the questions.

One of the survey questions reportedly read: "Sexual intercourse includes vaginal sex which is when a penis goes inside of a vagina, oral sex which is contact between the mouth and genitals, anal sex which is when the penis goes inside an anus (butt), and use of toys or props (vaginal or anal). Have you ever had sexual intercourse?"

A document on the Department of Education website explains that the PPRA protects the right of parents to consent to surveys and data collection of their students related to "eight protected areas," including "sex behavior and attitudes."

Parents also have the right to "receive notice and an opportunity to opt out of ... any protected information survey administered or distributed to a student by [a] local educational agency that is a recipient of funds under an applicable program," among a few other conditions.

Since the Department of Education states that parents must give "consent before students are required to submit" to such DOE-funded protected information surveys, the incident may have been a violation of the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, as is being alleged in the investigation.

"Entities which are found to be in violation of PPRA and fail to take corrective action may lose federal funding," a source familiar with the investigation at the Department of Education told Blaze News.

Notably, the Youth Risk Behavior Survey is produced and collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as part of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System.

While the CDC's website says that the YRBS is given only to students in grades 9-12, the Boston Herald reported that students as young as 11 years old were required to take the survey.

Vanity Fair editor says staff will quit over possible Melania cover: 'I will walk out the motherf**king door'

The possibility of first lady Melania Trump appearing on the cover of Vanity Fair is apparently outraging many workers who may quit their jobs, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

Semafor reported that 37-year-old Mark Guiducci was considering the option after becoming the global editorial director for Vanity Fair.

'We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife; we're just not going to do it.'

That revelation was not acceptable to some at the magazine.

"I will walk out the motherf**king door, and half my staff will follow me," one unidentified editor said to the Mail.

"We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife; we're just not going to do it. We're going to stand for what's right," the editor continued. "If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe's, I'll do it. If [Guiducci] puts Melania on the cover, half of the editorial staff will walk out, I guarantee it."

The first lady had previously appeared on the cover of the Mexico edition of Vanity Fair in Jan. 2017.

A different employee cast doubt on the editor's claims.

"It's all talk," the employee said. "If they put her on the cover, people will protest and gripe about it, but I don't see anyone quitting such a prestigious job over that."

A New York Post report noted that former first lady Michelle Obama appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair three times, while Melania Trump didn't appear once on the covers for Vanity Fair or Vogue, which is also owned by Condé Nast.

The current first lady has also been dismissive about the cover appearances.

"Look, I've been there on the covers ... on the covers of many magazines before. ... We have so many other important things to do than to be on the cover of any magazine," she said to Fox News.

"I think that life would not change for anybody if I'm on the cover," she added.

Mom who used racial slur in viral video faces jail time over criminal charges

The controversial viral video that showed a Minnesota mother using a racial slur against a black child has led to criminal charges that may mean jail time and a fine.

The video from April shows Shiloh Hendrix defiantly insulting a man who was recording her at a local playground in the city of Rochester and accusing her of being racist against a child. At one point, Hendrix flips off the man and then repeats the N-word several times while clutching her own child.

'This was a situation that deeply affected many people, especially our communities of color, and caused real turmoil in our community.'

"He took my son's stuff!" she tells the man who follows her in the park, according to the video.

"You know that's a hate speech?" the man recording says.

"I don't give a s**t!" she responds.

On Tuesday, the Rochester city attorney filed three counts of disorderly conduct against Hendrix. If she's convicted of the misdemeanors, she could face 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

"This was a situation that deeply affected many people, especially our communities of color, and caused real turmoil in our community," Rochester Mayor Kim Norton said. "We acknowledge the lasting impact this incident has had, not only on those directly involved and across our community, but also in the broader conversations happening at the state and national level."

While many critics immediately assailed the woman for her behavior, others jumped to her defense after her side of the story was offered up in a post on GiveSendGo. She claimed that her address and personal details had been leaked online.

"We are taking the proper procedures in order to stay safe from these constant threats," she wrote. "I'm still very frightened, and I don't think I will feel safe until we can escape completely. I am so grateful to all of you who have donated to my family. I never would have imagined that we would be supported to such an extreme."

The campaign raised over $700,000 before it was unpublished. The site said it disabled comments because some had used racist phrases. A separate donation page for the black child and his family raised over $340,000.

In May, the Rochester branch of the NAACP called for charges against Hendrix and offered a list of possible violations that were applicable in the case.

"Even though the law may not change the heart of a heartless adult who traumatized a vulnerable child, it can and must send a strong message — a message that our children have rights to be protected from heartless adults who terrorize and traumatize them," reads a statement from NAACP branch president Wale Elegbede.

"This child, family, and our community deserve justice for the unjustified harm that was brought upon them by this adult woman," he added. "Accountability is the only way to ensure these dangerous habits of hate and abuse are curbed and have no place in Rochester, Minnesota."

FBI settles for retaliating against 8 whistleblowers who exposed bureau corruption

The FBI has signed settlement agreements with Garret O’Boyle, Steve Friend, and six other FBI whistleblowers that will provide them with back pay, lump-sum damage payments, restoration of their security clearances, and, in some of the cases, reinstatement to jobs with the bureau.

O’Boyle and Friend were among eight remaining whistleblowers whose settlements were announced Tuesday by Empower Oversight, which represented the current and former FBI employees in their retaliation cases. Two other settlements were previously announced on Aug. 1 and in 2024 under the Biden administration.

‘This settlement closes a painful chapter for my family and me.’

“Whistleblowers risk it all for the sake of simply telling the truth. These 10 whistleblowers’ brave actions were met with intense bureaucratic blowback that caused severe financial and emotional hardship,” said U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who helped mediate between the FBI and the whistleblowers.

“Their lives were upended for years, but I never stopped fighting until things were made right,” Grassley said.

The whistleblower saga has been a black eye for the FBI. Many expected the cases to be resolved quickly after the election of President Donald J. Trump. FBI Director Kash Patel has come under increasing fire for not getting agreements in place sooner to bring justice for the aggrieved whistleblowers.

Four of the eight whistleblowers will voluntarily retire as part of the agreement package. Three — O’Boyle, Friend, and Zachery Schoffstall — will be reinstated at the FBI. One other remained at the FBI during her case.

“I am grateful to finally see a measure of resolution in my case,” O’Boyle told Blaze News in a statement. “This settlement closes a painful chapter for my family and me, but it does not erase the years of retaliation, reputational harm, and financial hardship that we endured simply because I told the truth.”

Tuesday marked day 1,065 of O’Boyle’s unpaid suspension that will come to a close with his reinstatement.

‘The work to combat weaponization and whistleblower retaliation is far from over.’

Friend said he also “signed the deal,” some 20 months after he resigned from the bureau just before giving sworn whistleblower testimony to the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary. He said the victory will not mean much if the FBI continues its punishment of whistleblowers.

“While this reinstatement is a vindication about the retaliation I experienced, the victory will ring hollow if the FBI engages in similar retribution against future whistleblowers,” Friend told Blaze News in a statement. “I pray we see the necessary changes to ensure justice for anyone willing to come forward with reasonable concerns about the agency.” The news of settlements is huge vindication for the FBI whistleblowers, all of whom faced varying types and degrees of retribution for making legally protected disclosures.

Friend refused to take part in an FBI SWAT raid at the home of a misdemeanor Jan. 6 suspect, saying the heavy use of force wasn’t justified in the case. O’Boyle made disclosures on COVID-19 shots and policies, the establishment of a tag for investigating parents who attend local school board meetings, and nearly two dozen other issues.

Blaze News has reached out to the FBI for comment.

Monica Shillingburg, who now works at the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services, reported potentially illegal restructuring being carried out at the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. She was removed and reassigned for reporting her concerns.

Michael Zummer, a former special agent, lost his security clearance after he reported potential prosecutorial misconduct in public corruption cases in New Orleans.

“For each of these cases where whistleblowers finally received at least some measure of justice for the retaliation they faced just for telling the truth about wrongdoing, there are many more who still need a remedy,” wrote Tristan Leavitt and Jason Foster, president and founder of Empower Oversight, in a letter to Grassley.

“There are more who still have no remedy and no justice,” the men wrote. “The work to combat weaponization and whistleblower retaliation is far from over.”

Trump defends Zelenskyy against Russian official: 'It's all bulls**t'

President Donald Trump dismissed the claim of a Russian official as the commander in chief continues to negotiate peace talks with Ukraine.

Sergey Lavrov, Russia's minister of foreign affairs, recently said that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not sign a peace deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy because he is viewed as an "illegitimate" leader. Trump shot down Lavrov's comments during Tuesday's Cabinet meeting, saying, "Everybody is posturing."

'The issue of who is going to sign the deal on Ukrainian side is a very serious issue.'

"It doesn't matter what they say," Trump told reporters. "Everybody is posturing. It's all bullsh**t."

Trump also offered United States Special Envoy Steve Witkoff the opportunity to chime in, to which he simply said, "I agree with you, sir." The room filled with reporters and government officials promptly erupted with laughter.

Notably, Zelenskyy's five-year presidential term was set to end in May 2024, but no elections have been called due to the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Reporter: "This weekend Sergey Lavrov was saying Putin will not sign a peace deal with Zelenskyy because Russia views him as illegitimate..."

— TheBlaze (@theblaze) August 26, 2025

Although the Trump administration has held separate summits with both Zelenskyy and Putin in recent weeks, Lavrov said there is "no planned meeting" between the two leaders.

In addition to challenging Zelenskyy's leadership, Lavrov reiterated the slew of preconditions Russia is demanding from Ukraine. Some of these preconditions include Ukraine agreeing not to join NATO, "the discussion of territorial issues," and for Zelenskyy to cancel any legislation "prohibiting the Russian language."

"Irrespective of when this meeting might take place, and that must be very well prepared, the issue of who is going to sign the deal on Ukrainian side is a very serious issue," Lavrov said over the weekend.

Duffy threatens funding freeze for 3 states flouting English requirements for truck drivers

The Department of Transportation is taking action to further clamp down on non-English-speakers with commercial driver's licenses, following President Donald Trump's executive action.

The Obama administration's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued a memorandum in 2016 that removed a requirement to place drivers out of service due to a lack of English proficiency.

'States don't get to pick and choose which federal safety rules to follow.'

Trump reversed that action in April, calling for the enforcement of the law to protect American roads following an increase in fatal accidents involving semi-trucks.

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy announced on Tuesday that the agency would pull federal funding for states that fail to comply with English language proficiency requirements.

He accused California, Washington, and New Mexico of failing to place drivers out of service for ELP violations. Duffy warned the three states that they have 30 days to comply or the DOT will withhold all funding from the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program.

California receives $30 million, Washington receives $10 million, and New Mexico receives $7 million through that program, Duffy stated during a Tuesday press conference.

The California Highway Patrol told Overdrive in July that it does not plan to place drivers out of service for ELP violations despite the Trump administration's new guidance.

The CHP "has not implemented any enforcement changes in response to recent federal guidance requiring commercial drivers to speak English, as it is not part of California law," a spokesperson told the outlet.

"States don't get to pick and choose which federal safety rules to follow," Duffy stated. "As we saw with the horrific Florida crash that killed three, when states fail to enforce the law, they put the driving public in danger. Under President Trump's leadership, we are taking aggressive action to close these safety gaps, hold states accountable, and make sure every commercial driver on the road is qualified to operate a 40-ton vehicle."

A spokesperson for California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) appeared to blame the Trump administration for the recent fatal crash in Florida involving Harjinder Singh, an Indian national who received his commercial driver's license in California. Earlier this month, Singh's truck crushed a minivan, killing all three passengers, after he allegedly performed an illegal U-turn.

"This is rich. The Trump administration approved the federal work permit for the man who killed 3 people — and now they're scrambling to shift blame after getting caught," Diana Crofts-Pelayo, a Newsom spokesperson, told NBC News. "Sean's nonsense announcement is as big a joke as the Trump administration itself. SAD!"

Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin denied those claims.

"False. Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump Administration on September 14, 2020. It was later approved under the Biden Administration June 9, 2021," McLaughlin wrote in a post on X. "The state of California issues Commercial Drivers Licenses. There is no national CDL."

"Thank you for confirming that the federal government issued him a work permit and you FAILED to revoke it!" Newsom's office responded.

The Washington and New Mexico governors' offices did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News.

23 attorneys general call on EPA's Lee Zeldin to defund radical climate science institute

Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has been an instrumental figure in dismantling the climate science regime during the second Trump administration, including major funding cuts in partnership with the Department of Government Efficiency. Now, nearly half of the states' attorneys general have called on Zeldin to strike at the head of another climate institution: the Environmental Law Institute.

Headed by Attorney General Austin Knudsen of Montana and signed by 22 other state AGs, the letter calls on Zeldin to cut funding grants for the Environmental Law Institute, which operates the Climate Judiciary Project.

'The Environmental Law Institute's Climate Judiciary Project is using woke climate propaganda, under the guise of what they call "neutral" education, to persuade judges and push their wildly unpopular agenda through the court system.'

The letter says that ELI "received approximately 13% of its revenue in 2023 and 8.4% in 2024" from federal grants and appears to expect this funding to continue, according to its financial records.

"As attorney general, I refuse to stand by while Americans' tax dollars fund radical environmental training for judges across the country. The Environmental Law Institute's Climate Judiciary Project is using woke climate propaganda, under the guise of what they call 'neutral' education, to persuade judges and push their wildly unpopular agenda through the court system," Knudsen said in a statement obtained by Blaze News.

The Climate Judiciary Project, the letter continues, has a clear mission: "Lobby judges in order to make climate change policy through the courts."

The Climate Judiciary Project claims it "is a first-of-its-kind effort that provides judges with authoritative, objective, and trusted education on climate science, the impacts of climate change, and the ways climate science is arising in the law. Since its creation in 2018, the Climate Judiciary Project estimates that it has hosted more than 50 events and trained more than 2,000 judges."

The revelations about ELI make clear that it is not shy about political lobbying.

Jason Isaac, the CEO of the American Energy Institute, said in a statement obtained by Blaze News: "Its curriculum is developed by climate alarmist allies of the plaintiffs and delivered to judges behind closed doors. Public funds should never be used to finance political advocacy disguised as judicial education."

Many supporters of this move have cited legal and ethical concerns as well as issues with consumer protection. "As we have long warned, the left has a plan to reshape American society by using lawsuits in courts all across the country, especially in places like Hawaii and other coastal enclaves. The new wave of revelations about ELI is further concerning evidence of how committed the left is to imposing mandatory Progressive Lifestyle Choices through this courtroom maneuvering and how big a threat it really is to all our ways of life," O.H. Skinner, the executive director of Alliance for Consumers, said.

The letter was signed by the attorneys general of Montana, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

The signatories are calling on Zeldin to have the EPA "cancel any on-going grants to ELI and ensure that ELI does not receive any future grants while it is sponsoring the Climate Judiciary Project."

Trump hasn’t changed his position on China one bit

President Donald Trump stunned his own supporters Monday night when he told reporters he would guarantee 600,000 visa spots for Chinese college students, calling the move “very important.”

The announcement rattled some of Trump’s closest allies, many of whom distrust Beijing, the nationals it sends abroad, and its larcenous trade and technology practices. These allies had been hoping for a sharp reset in U.S.-China relations. But perhaps no one should be shocked. Has Trump’s thinking on China really shifted at all?

No one should be shocked. Trump has never hidden his priorities. We’ve known this reality for a long time.

China remains a central focus for many in Trump’s inner circle. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and trade adviser Peter Navarro have all pressed for a tougher approach. Outside figures like “Shark Tank’s” Kevin O’Leary and “War Room” host Steve Bannon argue for an even deeper break — a full decoupling of the two economies.

Observers who hoped this faction would steer Trump’s policy have grown uneasy as his dealings with Beijing continue. Even so, Monday’s promise jolted them.

"It’s a very important relationship,” Trump said of Chinese-American dealings. “As you know, we’re taking a lot of money in from China. ... We’re going to allow their students to come in; it's very important. ... It’s a different relationship that we have now with China; it’s a much better relationship economically than it was before.”

Trump cited 600,000 visas — more than double the already staggering 270,000 Chinese students estimated to be studying in the United States. Every one of those students comes with Beijing’s explicit approval and often faces pressure and demands from the regime while abroad. That reality has drawn the eye of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who promised this spring to “aggressively review” Chinese student visas.

But should anyone be surprised by what came out of the Oval Office? Trump has never claimed his priority was decoupling. His goal has always been the same: getting a better deal. From his first book, “The Art of the Deal,” to his earliest interviews with Larry King, Oprah Winfrey, and Diane Sawyer, Trump repeated the same theme: “America is being ripped off. We’re a debtor nation.”

Even as he has sought to reimagine America’s foreign policy, his consistency is striking. He once took out full-page ads in the Boston Globe, New York Times, and Washington Post blasting U.S. taxpayers for subsidizing the defenses of wealthy nations — from Japan to Saudi Arabia — while those same allies exploited American trade policies.

His open letter was titled, “There's nothing wrong with America's foreign defense policy that a little backbone can’t cure." That was on September 2, 1987 — 38 years ago next week. Sound familiar?

From Japan and Saudi Arabia to China and NATO, Trump has always framed foreign policy around getting a better deal. But China is not just another trading partner. Beijing steals American technology; spies on universities, businesses, and labs; poisons young Americans through predatory tech platforms; censors Hollywood to match its propaganda; and floods our economy with cheap plastic garbage. It parks money in U.S. stocks to distort markets, buys farmland and real estate near military bases, and underwrites it all with cooked books, pirated products, and virtual slave labor.

No “better deal” fixes those problems. If American universities have become financially dependent on this racket — as Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick told Laura Ingraham Monday night — then the solution is to break that dependence, not deepen it by doubling student visas and further inflating tuition costs.

Americans have every reason to feel anger and disappointment over where these China talks are heading. We can still hope the worst concessions get stripped out before any deal is final. But no one should be shocked. Trump has never hidden his priorities. We’ve known this reality for a long time.

Appeals court unanimous in pivotal ruling on undated or misdated mail-in ballots

The Republican National Committee was dealt a blow by a unanimous decision of the Third Circuit Appeals Court in the RNC's effort to discard undated and misdated ballots in Pennsylvania.

The three-judge panel said in the 55-page ruling that the affected ballots needed to be counted and failing to do so was unconstitutional. Pennsylvania voters are required to write the date on the envelope for their mail-in ballots.

'Discarding thousands of ballots every election is not a reasonable trade-off in view of the date requirement's extremely limited and unlikely capacity to detect and deter fraud.'

"The date requirement imposes a burden on Pennsylvanians' constitutional right to vote," the court ruling reads. "And it culminates in county election boards discarding thousands of ballots each time an election is held. The date requirement will not protect against the vast majority of attempts at voter fraud."

The RNC unsuccessfully sought to discard those thousands of ballots for the 2025 election. The group argued that the number of affected ballots could swing some of the races.

"The date requirement seems to hamper rather than facilitate election efficiency. By its nature, it fails to add solemnity to the process of voting," the court continued. "And discarding thousands of ballots every election is not a reasonable trade-off in view of the date requirement's extremely limited and unlikely capacity to detect and deter fraud."

In November, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered county election officials to preclude non-dated and misdated ballots from their count.

"These eligible voters who got their ballots in on time should have their votes counted and voices heard," Pennsylvania ACLU attorney Steve Loney said at the time. "The fundamental right to vote is among the most precious rights we enjoy as Pennsylvanians, and it should take more than a trivial paperwork error to take it away."

President Donald Trump has said that he intends to focus on ending all mail-in balloting. The U.S. Supreme Court could overturn the appeals court ruling if the case makes it to the highest court of the land.

The three judges of the court were appointed by former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Joe Biden.
