Fox's new angle for dismissing the No Kings protester numbers: mostly hysterical women.
At last weekend’s "No Kings" protest in Washington, D.C., inflatable chickens bobbed above a crowd that, according to demographic research, was made up mostly of educated White women in their 40s. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert said that the "No Kings" protests are a snapshot of an era when emotional catharsis and civic activism have begun to blur. "What we’re seeing is a kind of group therapy playing out in the streets," he told Fox News Digital.

EWG statement on FDA announcement of intent to phase out synthetic food dyes

www.ewg.org/news-insight...
Article excerpt: While the announcement is welcome, the FDA for decades has failed to act on banning dyes in food. The FDA waited more than 30 years to prohibit the known carcinogen Red Dye No. 3 from food and drink, despite banning it from cosmetics in 1990 due to its health harms. That inaction led states to take the lead on regulating or banning these concerning chemicals.

In the dichotomy of good versus evil, Pritzker is the good.
Two men in business suits, one dark, one light, representing good and evil. The man with dark suit and hair looks similar to governor Pritzker. The man with light suit and hair looks like a fat old felon.
