A Black man created ranch dressing — and most people never knew. Kenneth “Steve” Henson, born in Nebraska in 1918, was a plumber who cooked for his crew in Alaska. One day he mixed buttermilk, mayo, herbs, and spices… and ranch was born. In 1954, he and his wife bought land near Santa Barbara and named it Hidden Valley Ranch. Guests loved the dressing so much they begged to take jars home. By 1957, stores were selling his dry mix. Orders exploded. Factories followed. In 1972, Clorox bought the recipe and the name for eight million dollars. Ranch went nationwide. By 1992, it was America’s #1 dressing. But the man behind it? Nearly erased. Every salad, every wing, every fry dipped in ranch — that’s his legacy. He mattered. He was the blueprint. . ❤️💛💚🖤

If you steal a paint chip it's 10 years in prison but take what you want from our Capitol, that's worth a pardon.

Trump arrested a U.S. citizen for asking Oklahoma state troopers why they're in D.C guarding the reflecting pool.

99 years is the amount of prison time a doctor in Alabama will receive if they perform an abortion. 6 months is the amount of prison time you will receive if you rape an unconscious girl next to a dumpster. Wake up.

The NYT story is about money. The harder story sits underneath. ICE bought 11 warehouses for $1 billion to scale mass detention. Seven are now being offloaded for losses exceeding $700 million. Not one was opened. Some sites cost up to $145 million before renovation. The IG is investigating. Even Republican mayors begged DHS to stop. An administration that ran on rooting out waste set fire to three quarters of a billion dollars on warehouses it could not legally use. Meanwhile real people remain detained in the existing facilities. At the Miami Correctional Facility in north central Indiana, the state's contracted ICE detention site, the Freedom for Immigrants hotline logged dozens of detainee calls last winter reporting medical neglect, poor food, and physical abuse by guards. Indianapolis itself was on the 8,500 bed expansion list per DHS documents, a fact Mayor Hogsett learned from the Times rather than his federal government. The warehouse plan failed. The apparatus it was meant to feed is still running. The harm did not go away. It just got concentrated.

ICE spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses to cage human beings. Now it’s quietly trying to sell or give away seven of them, more than $700 million gone, with not a single facility open and an inspector general investigation hanging over the whole mess. This is the waste

This story is disturbing. A woman in the US *legally* has been in immigration jail for 9 months. DHS admits she has status & does not oppose her release. ICE still won't let her out. Whatever your politics, no one should be OK with this insane government incompetence & cruelty.

A YEAR AGO Republicans passed Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill—stripping SNAP benefits from ~1 Million children.

So much has happened since their arrest that I’d nearly forgotten about these two. An Essex man has now been charged with more than a dozen further sexual offences as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged human trafficking for sexual exploitation. Following continued enquiries by detectives, 57-year-old Barrie Drewitt-Barlow has been charged with an additional 15 offences, while Scott Drewitt-Barlow, 32, faces a further two counts of rape and one count of causing or inciting sexual activity. The new charges against Barrie include five counts of rape, four counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual activity with a child, two counts of paying for the sexual services of a child, causing an individual to engage in sexual activity without consent, and causing or inciting sexual activity. This now brings the total number of charges faced by Barrie to 24, while Scott is facing seven charges in total. Both men, formerly of Southwood Chase, Danbury, remain in custody and are due to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court.

The U.S. military was charged $4,361 for a half inch metal pin that costs $46. Why? Defense contractors—with ties to private equity—are raking in excess profits. Instead of cracking down, Trump's DoD is inviting private equity to be MORE involved in our national defense.

The EU has invited Taliban officials to Brussels to discuss a migration deal — and today I am shaken and deeply disturbed by this. This is the same Taliban that banned girls from secondary schools and forced them into marriage. The same Taliban that, earlier this month, arrested dozens of women in Herat for how they were dressed. The same Taliban that detains, beats and executes women who dare to speak out or break their rules. Through its system of gender apartheid, the Taliban have erased women and girls from public life. Europe must not legitimise a regime responsible for one of the worst human rights crises in the world. Any engagement with the Taliban must begin and end with the rights of Afghan women and girls.

He is Adam Abdul Hamid & Mohammad Ashraf, muslim migrants from Pakistan They are charged over 6 hours gang r*pe of a 12 year old Christian girl in Australia & the girl remained in a coma for 4 months due to their heinous act. Throw out this r@pe gang from your country.

Idaho woman leaves handwritten note for Black neighbors near mailbox—says "Why are you living here!" "We don't have hardly any Blacks in Idaho... Get out of here!" she added. When confronted the woman tried to apologize by explaining: "I've been scared by stuff I see on TV." "Your [sic] murders, rapists, thieves on every show," she writes. Karma Pizano and Demond Portis say this is not the first problem they've had with her. While walking to their car she stopped just feet away—to tell them she hates Black people. The couple filed a police report—but no charges have been filed at this time. Incident occurred in Nampa, Idaho—about 20 miles west of Boise.

Historians are sounding the alarm that if these 200-year-old limestone pillars (rebuilt by James Hoban in 1830 after the British burned the building) are physically carved up or removed, the loss of authentic historic material is completely irreversible.

70% OF SUPERMARKET GROUND BEEF IS PINK SLIME In 2018 the USDA quietly reclassified pink slime as official “ground beef.” It can now be mixed into any ground beef you buy at the store — with zero labeling, zero disclosure, and zero warning to consumers. This is pure outrage. The USDA has handed the meat industry a license to deceive you about what’s actually in your food. They’re letting cheap, heavily processed filler pass as real ground beef while hiding it from the public. What pink slime once was used for: Beef trimmings and scraps that were previously considered waste — used only for dog food and rendering into cooking oil. The process they don’t want you to know about: These trimmings are heated, spun in a centrifuge to strip out the fat, sprayed with ammonia gas to kill bacteria, compressed into bricks, flash-frozen, and then secretly blended into your “ground beef” as a cheap filler to pad profits. Health harms of consuming it: - Treated with ammonia gas — the same harsh chemical used in household cleaners and industrial products. This raises legitimate concerns about chemical residues ending up in the meat you eat. - Made from low-grade scraps that start heavily contaminated with bacteria; the industry relies on a chemical bath instead of quality sourcing. - Produces mushier, lower-quality ground beef that releases excessive liquid when cooked, shrinks more, tastes worse, and has inferior texture and nutrition compared to real ground beef from actual cuts. - Past incidents showed ammonia-treated batches still testing positive for pathogens like salmonella when levels were adjusted, proving the “safety treatment” isn’t foolproof. - Hidden in your food with no transparency — you can’t avoid it or make informed choices, potentially leading to long-term exposure to chemically processed, lower-grade meat and unknown cumulative effects on digestion and overall health. This isn’t just “beef.” It’s a rebranded waste product slipped into the food supply without your knowledge or consent. The USDA’s decision is a disgrace to food safety and consumer rights. Fight back: Grind your own beef from whole roasts or steaks. Buy directly from local butchers who grind fresh in front of you. Demand real transparency and labeling. Your family deserves to know exactly what’s on their plate.

Asim Munir, Jefe del Ejército de Pakistán, predica sobre el hiyab a los pakistaníes pobres, mientras su esposa disfruta de una cachimba y vodka. Las familias de estos islamistas radicales viven con lujos, mientras que los pobres son asesinados por no usar el hiyab.

BREAKING: In a humiliating moment, the leader of Qatar’s negotiating team just completely ignored JD Vance. These negotiations are going horribly and once again the Trump Administration is making the US the laughing stock of the world.

The reflecting pool is a perfect metaphor for how everything Trump touches dies.

UPDATE: FOUND HER

In 1884, Ulysses S. Grant was dying of throat cancer and was dead broke. His money was wiped out by a swindler who stole his fortune. Desperate to leave something for his wife, he agreed to write his Civil War memoirs and was close to signing a contract for a meager 10% royalty. Mark Twain stepped in, called the deal robbery and offered Grant 70% of the profits through his own publishing company. Grant raced death to finish the book, completing it just days before he died in July 1885. It became one of the greatest memoirs ever written. The royalties left his widow nearly half a million dollars, about $16 million today, and the book has never gone out of print.
