The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) informs: Kraft Heinz Foods Company, a Newberry, SC, establishment, is recalling approximately 367,812 pounds of fully cooked turkey bacon products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm). The turkey bacon was produced from 24 Apr through 11 Jun 2025. Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections occur in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. read more
The Israeli military used a 500lb (230kg) bomb, a powerful and indiscriminate weapon that generates a massive blast wave and scatters shrapnel over a wide area, when it attacked a target in a crowded beachfront cafe in Gaza on Monday. Between 24 and 36 Palestinians were killed in the attack on the cafe and dozens more were injured. The dead included a well-known film-maker and an artist. Experts in international law said the use of such a munition despite the known presence of many unprotected civilians, including children, women and elderly people, was almost certainly unlawful and may constitute a war crime. Fragments of the weapon from the ruins of al-Baqa cafe have been identified by ordnance experts as parts of an MK-82 general purpose 230kg bomb, a powerful US-made bomb. An IDF spokesperson said the attack on the cafe was under review and that "prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians using aerial surveillance." read more

President Donald Trump visited the new migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" and "Gator Gitmo." Video revealed rows upon rows of empty industrial metal bunk beds enclosed in hastily constructed cages made up of chain fences. "[President] Biden wanted me in here, that son of a b"h," Trump said jokingly. "I looked outside, and that's not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon," Trump told reporters after his tour. "We're surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland, and the only way out is really deportation." The complex, located at the Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport, will cost an estimated $450 million a year to operate, and the first victims are set to arrive this week. Alligators, crocodiles, pythons, and a host of pathogen-carrying mosquitos infest the swamps. read more
#11: The snowball became an avalanche, Doc, and we're at the bottom. The NRA, hate radio/TV, 'state's rights polemicists,' white supremacy, faux Christianity, "Manifest Destiny," and lobbying groups, have synthesized well, morphing into the dystopia we have today. The "I got mine and I'm keeping it" meme is the dominant culture for 49.8% of Americans. Throw in the "Bread and circuses" (UFC, NFL, MLB) and Americans quickly forget about the core issues of poverty, daily gun deaths, or cuts to Medicaid/Medicare/Social Security: as1.ftcdn.net
Good luck with the grandkid.
#9: Hi Danni. You said it. Look how well the students in China eat, study, and learn. Meanwhile in the US we can't feed our students but we are teaching them active-shooter drills in school, like the "Duck-and-cover" drills we did during the Cold War.
Republicans wrecked our education system just to keep the masses dumb and the oligarchs wealthy.

After a storm passed over 'Alligator Alcatraz' just one day after Dummkopf Trumpf visited it, the new multi-million dollar swamp gulag was unable to keep rainwater out. You can see electrical wires being exposed to puddles inside the tents: x.com

#10: Unbelievable, yet believable. Glorification of tyranny, injustice, and cruelty. Some Chinese factory makes money from this crap, as does the GOP.
Ignoring the tens of millions people sent to the gulags and firing squads, some Russians today wear Josef Stalin T-shirts: ae01.alicdn.com
Meanwhile, Russia lost its third jet fighter of the year and Trumpf's Special Envoy says it's the Kremlin delaying peace talks. Retired US Army General Keith Kellogg: "Peskov's recent comments on the state of negotiations are Orwellian. Russian claims that it is the US and Ukraine stalling peace talks are unfounded." Kellogg emphasised that the US president has consistently and persistently advocated for progress in ending the war. "We urge an immediate ceasefire and a move to trilateral talks to end the war. Russia cannot continue to stall for time while it bombs civilian targets in Ukraine," he added. Link: www.pravda.com.ua

Hi Lamplighter: Izmir is a secular stronghold in Turkiye, so these arrests do not surprise me. When walking around the covered bazaar in Istanbul (Kapili Carsi), few Kemal Ataturk items are sold openly under the AK regime of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. But apparently souvenirs, flags, and plates with Ataturk's visage may be bought openly in Izmir, to Erdogan's dismay. imageio.forbes.com

To those traveling by air this long weekend to somehow seek a respite from Dummkopf Trumpf for a few days, good luck.
A US aviation company wasn't hit this time by cybercriminals, but Qantas was.

Importantly, credit card details, personal financial information and passport details are not held in this system. No frequent flyer accounts were compromised nor have passwords, PIN numbers or log in details been accessed.

#12: Jesse Jackson got ZERO American servicemembers from NYC, or any other locale in the US, killed or wounded in the Middle East.
In this one example of many, Iranian proxy militias COUNTERATTACKED US forces in Iraq AFTER Israel attacked Iran: www.cnn.com
"Blargh! Iran is a destabilizing force in the Middle East! Argh! Argh!"
Here is another reason why AIPAC, with the nefarious aid and abettance of turncoat Democrats like odious and noxious Andrew Cuomo, Chuck Schumer, and Kirsten Gillibrand, want to destroy NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. As Mayor of the Big Apple, Mamdani would have power to appoint whom he pleases as Chancellor of CUNY, the largest public university system in the US: nypost.com
Who is in charge of NYC or the US, Americans or Israelis?
Accused rapist Conor McGregor may participate in these ghastly "Bread and circuses."
