Does this have anything to do with the results of the 2024 presidential election?

According to WJAT:

Twenty years after closing all of its locations due to bankruptcy and a foodborne illness outbreak, a popular Mexican restaurant is looking to make a comeback.

Hormel Foods, who owns the trademark, worked out a deal to bring Chi-Chi’s back to life after every location closed in 2004. The company initially closed its doors after a bankruptcy which coincided with a foodborne illness outbreak that was linked back to them.

The son of the founder of Chi-Chi’s, Michael McDermott, said in a release that he hopes to honor his family’s legacy by combining the classic Mexican restaurant with modern influence.

It would NEVER be admitted by anyone at Hormel or the original Chi-Chi’s team that the 2024 election results played a role in their decision to reopen… but it definitely did.

We’re back, baby!

‘Hang on, Hang on!’: Piers Morgan, Liberal Streamer Talk Over Each Other as They Clash Over Hunter Biden Pardon https://truthbasedmedia.com/hang-on-hang-on-piers-morgan-liberal-streamer-talk-over-each-other-as-they-clash-over-hunter-biden-pardon/ https://truthbasedmedia.com/hang-on-hang-on-piers-morgan-liberal-streamer-talk-over-each-other-as-they-clash-over-hunter-biden-pardon/#respond Thu, 05 Dec 2024 12:15:24 +0000 https://truthbasedmedia.com/target/hang-on-hang-on-piers-morgan-liberal-streamer-talk-over-each-other-as-they-clash-over-hunter-biden-pardon/ British journalist Piers Morgan and liberal streamer and YouTuber Destiny argued Wednesday over President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter, with Destiny questioning what taking the “high moral ground” has gained Democrats.

Since Biden announced Sunday that he had pardoned Hunter, Democrats have had mixed reactions, with some opposing the decision and others supporting it. On “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Destiny argued that Biden’s decision was made in “good prudence” after President-elect Donald Trump tapped Kash Patel as his FBI director, prompting Morgan to call out Destiny’s attitude.

“You seem very phlegmatic about all this, Destiny, but inside you must be hurting. Because what Joe Biden has done with one flick of his pen, he has taken away all the high moral ground that the Democrats could have had against Trump for the next four years,” Morgan said. “Because Trump can now pardon who the hell he likes. He can pardon every January 6 protester, and he can do it in the sure knowledge that the moment people like you go, ‘This is an outrage. How can you do this?’ He goes, ‘You know what? At least they went to prison.’ Hunter Biden didn’t do a day.”

Destiny responded.

“Two of the easiest questions in the world. Piers, one – if he doesn’t pardon Hunter, do you think that influences Trump’s decision at all and who he pardons next?” Destiny asked. […]

Yale Event Explores Role of ‘Merit’ in Higher Education and Hiring https://truthbasedmedia.com/yale-event-explores-role-of-merit-in-higher-education-and-hiring/ https://truthbasedmedia.com/yale-event-explores-role-of-merit-in-higher-education-and-hiring/#respond Thu, 05 Dec 2024 10:41:47 +0000 https://truthbasedmedia.com/target/yale-event-explores-role-of-merit-in-higher-education-and-hiring/ The Buckley Institute hosted a “firing line” debate on Tuesday afternoon on the role of “merit” in college admissions as well as hiring.

Devon Westhill, president and general counsel of the Center for Equal Protection, argued in favor of merit, while Yale Law School Professor Daniel Markovits took the more critical approach.

“Is merit a valid measure?” the debate asked, or has it outlived its usefulness.

Westhill (pictured, right) opened by emphasizing the importance of such debates in spaces like Yale, which he argued often lack intellectual diversity, functioning as echo chambers for progressive thought. Honest discussions on the value of merit, he said, benefit both the intellectual majority and minority.

Arguing in favor of meritocracy, Westhill said merit rewards individual achievements, incentivizes hard work, and cultivates excellence. […]

Joy Reid Is on the Hot Mess Express as She Freaks Out Over Trump Annexing Canada https://truthbasedmedia.com/watch-joy-reid-is-on-the-hot-mess-express-as-she-freaks-out-over-trump-annexing-canada/ https://truthbasedmedia.com/watch-joy-reid-is-on-the-hot-mess-express-as-she-freaks-out-over-trump-annexing-canada/#respond Thu, 05 Dec 2024 09:55:35 +0000 https://truthbasedmedia.com/target/watch-joy-reid-is-on-the-hot-mess-express-as-she-freaks-out-over-trump-annexing-canada/ We are reaching DEFCON 1 levels of Trump Derangement Syndrome with Joy Reid these days. We’re talking intervention levels at this point; funny farm stuff.

As readers of RedState well know, Reid is obsessed with the former and future president of the United States, to the point of incoherent babbling about his every move. And, boy, has she been on a tear since the election, blaming blacks and Hispanics for voting in their own best interests, suggesting Kamala Harris supporters cut off their Trump-voting family and friends, and castigating black women for not wanting to “save America.”

It’s a downward spiral of epic proportions, and it’s not without its consequences. For instance, her own network also finds itself in a not-unrelated free fall as its audience abandons it in great numbers. Things are so bad there that Elon Musk has joked about stepping in and buying the network in order to save it from itself.

When she’s not busy doing her part to help MSNBC tank in the ratings, Joy Reid can be found circling the drain with her increasingly paranoid hot takes on President-elect Donald Trump. Her most recent descent into madness, weirdly, was over the patently absurd idea that Trump would annex Canada, make it the 51st state, and demote Justin Trudeau to the lowly position of governor.

She seemed honest-to-god freaked out about it, but then again, Joy Reid inhabits the world of the patently absurd.

Her proof that an annexation of Canada was at hand? An AI meme Trump posted to Truth Social. […]

Hawley: Overtures to Expand NATO to Include Ukraine ‘Extremely Dangerous’ https://truthbasedmedia.com/hawley-overtures-to-expand-nato-to-include-ukraine-extremely-dangerous/ https://truthbasedmedia.com/hawley-overtures-to-expand-nato-to-include-ukraine-extremely-dangerous/#respond Thu, 05 Dec 2024 08:13:01 +0000 https://truthbasedmedia.com/target/hawley-overtures-to-expand-nato-to-include-ukraine-extremely-dangerous/ During an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) warned against efforts to bring Ukraine into NATO.

According to the Missouri Republican, such a move would risk a “from now until forever” conflict with Russia.

Partial transcript as follows:

INGRAHAM: Well, the deal that Biden and company scotched at the beginning of this war, before the war started. That would have avoided the war. It looks like what they’re going to end up with is worse than they would have gotten had they not done this at all. That’s what it looks like at least. It could change. But now, Senator, Zelenskyy has a magic solution to end the war. Watch.

VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY, PRESIDENT, UKRAINE (VIA TRANSLATOR): If we want to stop the hot stage of the war, we should take on the NATO umbrella, the territory of Ukraine that we have under our control.

INGRAHAM: Your reaction, Senator.

HAWLEY: No, absolutely not. They should not put any part of Ukraine in NATO. And listen, this administration is already risking World War III by greenlighting the use of American weapons into Russian territory. What will happen if Moscow responds by sending a weapon, a missile, you name it, into the territory of a NATO country, we’ll all be at war. The idea that now we would expand NATO to include Ukraine is extremely dangerous. It is a recipe for constant conflict, including American soldiers boots on the ground in Europe from now until forever. It is a disastrous idea. It’s exactly the wrong thing to do.

And listen, here’s another point about the need to settle this conflict. What the Biden administration has been telling senators behind closed doors for literally two years now, Laura, is that there will have to be a negotiated peace. The Secretary of State was saying that two years ago. So out in public, they’re saying, war forever. Behind closed doors, they’re saying, well, we’re going to have to negotiate.

INGRAHAM: Yes.

HAWLEY: They just don’t want to make the hard choices to do it. And here we are. […]

Ultra-Processed Foods: How Bad Are They for Your Health? https://truthbasedmedia.com/ultra-processed-foods-how-bad-are-they-for-your-health/ https://truthbasedmedia.com/ultra-processed-foods-how-bad-are-they-for-your-health/#respond Wed, 04 Dec 2024 10:58:42 +0000 https://truthbasedmedia.com/?p=252248 (Natural News)—Despite the serious health risks associated with eating junk food, they remain the most consumed food products in many countries, particularly developed ones. But a review published in The BMJ, which studied 9.8 million people, warns that eating a lot of ultra-processed foods can increase your risk for 32 diseases. Among these are heart disease, cancer, Type 2 diabetes and even early death.

What are ultra-processed foods?

Ultra-processed foods include ready-to-eat meals, packaged baked goods, snacks, sugary cereals and sodas. According to a BMJ Group press release, these foods go through many industrial processing steps and often have added colorings, emulsifiers, flavorings and other additives. They are also high in added sugars, fat and salt and low in fiber and vitamins.

But not all processed foods are bad. For instance, foods that are simply heated and sealed in a factory are minimally processed and can be considered healthy. However, many snacks, drinks and factory-made cookies and bread are ultra-processed because they go through more complicated manufacturing processes and contain many chemical additives, which make them more dangerous and less nutritious.

A study published in The BMJ estimated that about 14 percent of adults and 12 percent of children might struggle with addiction to ultra-processed foods. The refined carbohydrates and fats in these foods can trigger the brain to release large amounts of dopamine, which can lead to addiction.

According to research, the components of ultra-processed foods, such as refined carbohydrates and added fats, can also disrupt the body’s appetite regulation, causing people to consume more calories without realizing it. This ultimately leads to long-term health problems. (Related: Replace ultra-processed foods with these HEALTHY alternatives.)

Health risks linked to ultra-processed foods

The BMJ study highlighted several health risks linked to ultra-processed foods. They can be categorized into the following:

Mortality

The study analyzed data from two long-term surveys: the Nurses’ Health Study (1984-2018) with 74,563 female nurses from 11 U.S. states and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2018) with 39,501 male health professionals from every state.

Participants, who had no history of cancer, cardiovascular disease or diabetes at the start, provided health and lifestyle updates every two years and diet information every four years. Over the follow-up period, researchers recorded 48,193 deaths, including 13,557 from cancer, 11,416 from cardiovascular diseases, 3,926 from respiratory diseases and 6,343 from neurodegenerative diseases.

Cancer

A study published in Nutrients found that people who consume more ultra-processed foods had a 23 percent higher risk of developing head and neck cancer and a 24 percent higher risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Higher intake of ultra-processed foods was also linked to increased risks of overall cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, central nervous system tumors, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer.

Mental health

According to a 2023 study published in JAMA Network Open, consuming high amounts of ultra-processed foods, especially those with artificial sweeteners, is linked to a higher risk of depression. Although the exact mechanism is unclear, recent data suggest that artificial sweeteners may affect brain function related to depression. The study, which included a large sample and high follow-up rate, adjusted for various factors and used validated dietary assessment tools.

Cardiovascular health

A study published in eClinical Medicine found that ultra-processed food consumption is directly linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular events. A 10 percent increase in the weight proportion of daily ultra-processed food intake can raise your cardiovascular event risk by 1.9 percent, while an extra serving can increase your risk by 2.2 percent. Additionally, a 10 percent increase in daily energy intake from ultra-processed foods correspond to a 1.6 percent higher risk of cardiovascular events.

Respiratory health

Research from the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute and the University of Adelaide showed that a diet high in ultra-processed foods significantly increases one’s risk of death from chronic respiratory diseases. Data from over 96,000 U.S. participants (1999-2018) revealed that diets consisting of more than 40 percent ultra-processed foods raised the risk of death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by 26 percent and the overall risk of death from chronic respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and asthma, by 10 percent.

Gastrointestinal health

There is growing evidence linking diets high in ultra-processed foods to gut diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer and irritable bowel syndrome.

Metabolic health

Ultra-processed foods, often high in sugar and unhealthy fats, contribute to insulin resistance and poor blood sugar regulation. These foods typically have a high glycemic index and can cause rapid blood sugar spikes, leading to insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. Increased consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with higher risks of abdominal obesity, high blood sugar, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, overweight, obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

Studies have found strong evidence connecting the consumption of ultra-processed foods with increased risks for heart disease-related deaths and anxiety, with up to a 50 percent higher risk of cardiovascular-related mortality and a 48-53 percent higher risk of developing anxiety and mental disorders. There is also a 12 percent higher risk of Type 2 diabetes, a 21 percent increased risk of all-cause mortality, a 22 percent higher risk of depression, and a 40-66 percent higher risk of heart disease-related deaths, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and sleep problems.

Now, she is calling for a formal accounting of where the money went. She claims that certain individuals involved in the Harris campaign became millionaires overnight. She suggests that it was basically a case of friends taking care of other friends.

James Carville also recently called for an audit of the Harris campaign. They are both right. The Democrats are going to have a tough time raising money until people know where all this money went.
