As a core value, we can prioritize truth or force balance. You have to choose. I strongly come down on the side of truth. I do not think true and false, honesty and lying, should be treated as equal, deserving equal respect and prominence. Many American elites think the opposite. And here we are.

Trump, Hegseth, and their supporters think war is like a domestic abuser, where “daddy’s home” and hits his wife and kids, so they do what he says out of fear. But with countries, brutality and war crimes often make the enemy more resolved, smooth over domestic disagreements, and reject diplomacy.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.
