Covert Action Cover to Cover

The Directorate of Operations in the Central Intelligence Agency wasn’t initially a big fan of what might be its two most consequential Cold War covert actions: the delivery of Stinger missiles to the Afghan mujahedeen and QRHELPFUL, which sent books, magazines, cash, printing supplies, and other aid into Poland after the communist regime tried to smash the independent trade union, Solidarity, in December 1981.

Trader Joe's faces massive trademark infringement lawsuit over beloved Uncrustables brand



The J.M. Smucker Company is looking to take a bite out of Trader Joe's.

The two iconic brands appear to be locking horns in a legal battle over peanut butter and jelly treats, with Smucker's getting territorial over its frozen sandwiches.

'Our focus is solely on protecting the unique trademarked design.'

The lawsuit was filed in a federal court in Ohio on Monday and alleges that the Trader Joe's product Crustless Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam Sandwiches is infringing on Smucker's trademark surrounding the Uncrustables brand.

Smucker's said the crustless peanut butter and jam sandwich sold by Trader Joe's mimics the "distinctive" features of its own sandwich, right down to the product look, branding, and lettering on the box.

Smucker's takes issue with the Trader Joe's sandwich having a round shape with crimped edges, according to Reuters, which also noted that the imagery of a bitten sandwich that reveals the filling is also an alleged infringement.

As reported by "Good Morning America," J.M. Smucker also said the Trader Joe's packaging is in violation of the Smucker's trademark because the blue lettering is allegedly similar to that of an Uncrustables box; Smucker's says the color is the same hue as its own.

Smucker's told ABC News that it "actively monitor[s] the marketplace" and enforces its federally registered trademarks to "protect the distinctive Uncrustables sandwich design and round shape."

The representative remarked, "Our focus is solely on protecting the unique trademarked design that represents the high quality associated with the Uncrustables brand and preventing consumer confusion caused by imitation."

Trader Joe's has yet to provide public comment about the lawsuit and did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

As of 2024, the Uncrustables brand is worth a reported $1 billion and has seen significant popularity among Major League Baseball players, for example.

The Uncrustables campaign has been so successful with MLB that some players claim to be huge consumers of the product.

In 2023, San Francisco Giants second baseman Thairo Estrada reportedly ate an Uncrustables before every game.

In April 2025, Philadelphia Phillies star right fielder Nick Castellanos was spotted eating one of the snacks mid-game.

In Canada, the brand partnered with Canadian-Dominican Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who once coined the term "J&PB" after hilariously reversing the common term due to his broken English.

"Good Morning America" reported that the Trader Joe's product is sold in a pack of four for $3.79, while a four-pack of Uncrustables from J.M. Smucker costs $4.79.

Supreme Court rejects case that would reconsider H-1B-related visas



This week, Blaze News reported on an H-1B visa rule change imposed by the Biden Department of Homeland Security, effectively allowing nonimmigrant workers to work remotely while in America. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case that would ostensibly challenge the rule-making authority of executive agencies regarding an adjacent program: the H-4 visa.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court denied a writ of certiorari for a case that would reconsider crucial aspects of the H-4 nonimmigrant program, which is more commonly known as the spousal or dependent complement of the H-1B nonimmigrant worker visa program.

'Justice [Brett] Kavanaugh took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition.'

The petition was brought by Save Jobs USA, which, according to Reuters, "represents American tech workers who it says were displaced by foreign labor." The Center for Immigration Studies says the group "is composed of computer professionals who worked at Southern California Edison until they were replaced by H-1B workers."

More details on the group are sparse.

Save Jobs USA's petition reads in part, "With the H-4 Rule, DHS reversed its earlier interpretation and began allowing certain spouses of H-1B nonimmigrant workers to be employed, despite no such directive in the statute."

The petition continues with a surprising claim: "Following the H-4 Rule, there was an explosion in the number of noncitizens authorized to work in the United States entirely through regulations.”

The petition for a writ of certiorari presented two questions. The first question was "whether the Department of Homeland Security can grant work authorization for classes of nonimmigrants for whom Congress has refused to grant work authorization."

The second question asks "whether the statutory terms defining nonimmigrant visas in 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15) are mere threshold entry requirements that cease to apply once an alien is admitted or whether they persist and dictate the terms of a nonimmigrant’s stay in the United States."

The 22-page order list from SCOTUS included a short explanation: "The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. Justice [Brett] Kavanaugh took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition."

According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, the only eligibility requirement for H-4 visas is to be the spouse of a qualified and approved H-1B visa holder.

Blaze News contacted the Departments of Homeland Security and State for comment.

How Israel’s Strength Paved the Way to Peace

Two years and one day after Hamas’s barbaric sneak attack, Donald Trump announced "Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan." Hamas will return the remaining hostages and the bodies of the other murdered victims, and if the peace plan progresses, it will lose its control over Gaza.
