What Shall We Bake Today?

Food 1 Minute

I found another Pretzel Bark recipe—this time with peanut butter!

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) miniature pretzels, divided

1-1/2 cups butter, melted

1-1/2 cups peanut butter

3 cups confectioners’ sugar

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon shortening

Directions

Line a 13×9-in. baking pan with foil, letting ends extend up sides. Set aside 1-1/2 cups pretzels for topping. In a food processor, pulse remaining pretzels until fine crumbs form. In a large bowl, mix butter, peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar and pretzel crumbs. 

Press mixture into prepared pan. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Spread over peanut butter layer. Break reserved pretzels and sprinkle over top; press down gently. Refrigerate, covered, until set, about 1 hour. Lifting with foil, remove from pan. Cut into bars.

  5. they can’t tell you what a woman IS, but they want to empower them to force employers to give them PAID time off while they’re menstruating. Don’t most companies offer sick days? now they need to offer period days as well. If this nonsense passes, I can see lawsuits from transgenders claiming they are being discriminating against.

    Girl Power? Dem Reps. Say Employers Who Won’t Pay Women to Stay Home from Work During Menstruation Are Committing ‘Economic Violence’

    For the crowd that doesn’t seem to be able to define what a woman is, Democrat Reps. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) recently went full ‘girl power’ during a press conference.
    The trio complained that employers who won’t pay female workers to stay home during menstruation are committing ‘economic violence’ against women.

    “It’s why during Women’s History Month, I’ve introduced legislation to give workers up to 12 days of paid leave a year for reproductive health. This would cover period pain, yes, but also menopause symptoms, IVF miscarriages, endometriosis flare-ups, and more.”

  7. EXCERPT: “A former senior intelligence community official under President Barack Obama reported concerns earlier this year that the Hunter Biden laptop letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials in 2020 bore characteristics “consistent with coordinated intelligence deception operations,” according to a memo the ex-official submitted to the intelligence community inspector general.

    The concerns have now been referred to the Justice Department, a remarkable turnabout for a letter that was used six years ago to censor factually based concerns about Biden family corruption.  

    The October 2020 open letter–released as voters were making final decisions about whether to reelect Trump or elect Democrat Joe Biden–was signed by ex-intelligence officials including former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and former CIA Director John Brennan. 

    Thomas Kuhns, the former official who submitted the memo recently to the Intelligence Community Inspector General, was a Senior Intelligence Officer and former advisor to the Deputy Director of National Intelligence during the Obama administration.

    Kuhns told the inspector general that most of his career in government centered on maintaining the Intelligence Community’s analytic and integrity standards. 

    “Not a political statement”

    “​​This assessment is not a political statement. It is based on the research and analysis of testified behavior, language choices, omissions, coordination, and effects attributable to intelligence tradecraft,” Kuhns wrote in a memo to the ICIG hotline, which was obtained by Just the News…..”

  8. “Democrats Still Haven’t Learned That Lawfare Has Consequences”

    The Federalist, By: Eddie Scarry, June 01, 2026

    “Naturally The New York Times is out with its own patently absurd version of events with regard to the Justice Department’s inquiry into E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuits against President Trump. If the “paper of record” is going to keep acting like DOJ investigations are only legitimate when perpetuated by Democrats against their enemies, then Trump’s “retribution campaign” should continue for as long as it can.

    News broke Wednesday that the DOJ had opened a criminal probe involving Carroll, who has told a hysterical tale that includes allegations of Trump, well before he was ever president, having raped her at some unspecified date (in a department store fitting room, mind you). The DOJ hasn’t officially acknowledged any investigation, but the Times reported Thursday that the probe centers not on Carroll but on the nonprofit organization that assisted in funding Carroll’s litigation.

    The Times laughably claimed in its report, authored by Glenn Thrush and Benjamin Weiser, that what makes this DOJ target so unique is that Carroll, “an author and columnist, never sought a public role, political power or governmental authority.” Maybe someone should tell Thrush and Weiser that to be a published author is by definition to seek a public role. And of course she wanted political power. She even did it the way all Democrats have done for the greater part of the last 20 years: She claimed to be a victim, thus earning herself fame, authority, influence, and money.

    There’s no question that Carroll’s rape allegation, as unbelievable as it was, harmed Trump politically. She said that after the two giggled and gallivanted all over a department store in notoriously sleepy Manhattan, the two of them stumbled into a predictably empty, unattended fitting room, where Trump forced himself inside her, an incident she initially refused to call a rape because “most people think of rape as being sexy” and “think of the fantasies.”

    Then, using a brand-new law in New York that turned back the clock on the statute of limitations involving sexual assault, Carroll sued Trump in a Democrat-heavy district where it was impossible for him to get a jury that wouldn’t find him liable. After all, he still needed to be punished for winning the 2016 election.

    The trial was itself a joke. Trump’s defense was forbidden from introducing evidence that would have crippled Carroll’s credibility, which is what her entire case rested on. He predictably lost.

    And Carroll’s saga is just a piece of the larger Democrat conspiracy to either zero out Trump’s finances or put him in prison. They’d prefer both. Democrat District Attorney Alvin Bragg sued Trump with an argument whose logical conclusion was that it was illegal for Trump to have even run for president in 2016. Democrat Attorney General Letitia James sued Trump for engaging in business deals that resulted in no victims. Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis prosecuted Trump as if he were a gangbanger because he questioned the results of the 2020 election.

    But it’s supposed to be out of the realm of decency that Trump would return the favor with his own investigation. That’s how you know Democrats haven’t learned the lesson they should — that every abuse of power they engage in can result in consequences in due time.

    The lesson everyone else should learn from this, though, is that when given the chance, Democrats will start this cycle all over again.”

  9. EXCERPT: “It’s graduation season. At ceremonies across the country, valedictorians, salutatorians, student council presidents, and school administrators are giving speeches to commend millions of high school graduates on their good work, encourage them to savor this moment of achievement, and go forth in a spirit of gratitude and pride.

    Typically, these speeches rarely stray from pre-approved messages stressing inclusion, positivity, and general affirmations. After going through the gauntlet of censors, what mostly comes out is nearly always some mix of platitudes about seizing opportunities, enjoying the journey, and persevering through adversity. Nevertheless, in past years, the speeches still expressed the students’ own voice on some level — and I would know since I was usually the one teaching them how to write.

    Sadly, we can now have little confidence that we are hearing the student’s voice rather than the hollow, generic drone of ChatGPT. There have been a few prominent examples of speakers beginning with AI-composed speeches and then reverting to their own poignant comments, but now even superintendents reportedly deliver interchangeable AI slop that means absolutely nothing.

    Of course, most people might excuse this development, seeing that these speeches were mostly pointless formalities anyway. But what if empty canned speeches written by a machine really do reflect the mind (or mindlessness) of the person giving the speech? What if the use of AI for making speeches and for other tasks reveals that many of today’s top students are really dishonest frauds?

    While cheating has always existed, particularly among elite students jockeying for rank, this problem has exploded in recent years, not only with the rise of AI, but with the increasing popularity of inferior educational programs that effectively facilitate academic dishonesty. Whereas unscrupulous students in the past cheated on various assessments, they usually had enough intelligence to avoid detection and feign mastery. Today’s cheaters lack even this much initiative. They now simply ask AI to complete the assignment and submit their work — it obviously helps that many schools have gone paperless after the Covid shutdowns.

    It is now possible for otherwise mediocre students to make their way through advanced courses, cheating the whole time. Worse still, they can continue this way in their college courses, where their professors may take even less action against academic dishonesty than teachers at K-12 schools. Sure, some professors might take to the pages of The Atlantic and complain about their elite students who never read a whole book in their lives, but many will never seriously challenge these students, much less fail them…..”

  11. HERE WE GO: Burned Mail-In Ballots Found in Los Angeles Drop Box DAYS BEFORE Mayoral Election

    GP, by Gregory Lyakhov, Jun. 1, 2026

    “Los Angeles County election officials are investigating after mail-in ballots were found damaged by fire inside an official ballot drop box just days before LA’s highly anticipated June 2 mayoral election. The incident was discovered Sunday morning in downtown Los Angeles when election workers were collecting ballots from a drop box outside the county Department of Public Social Services building in the Civic Center area. 

    According to county officials, multiple vote-by-mail ballots appeared to have sustained fire-related damage inside the official drop box. Authorities are also reviewing a separate act of election-related vandalism at a vote center located at Cesar E. Chavez Park in Long Beach. 

    In a news release, County officials said the Long Beach incident did not stop voting operations at the site, but the timing of both incidents raises serious concerns about the security of California’s election system as voters head into the final stretch before Election Day.

    Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan said his office is working with law enforcement and other partners to review both incidents and determine whether any voters were affected.

    “Our responsibility is to protect voters and ensure every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast a ballot,” Logan said in a statement. Officials said voters whose ballots may have been damaged in the drop box fire will be contacted directly and given options, including replacement ballots if necessary.

    The county has not yet released the number of damaged ballots, the identity of any suspect, or the cause of the fire. A police report was filed with the Los Angeles Police Department, according to the registrar’s office.

    The incident comes as California continues to rely heavily on vote-by-mail ballots and ballot drop boxes. State election officials mailed ballots to active registered voters for the June 2 primary, and voters are allowed to return ballots by mail, at official drop boxes, county elections offices, polling places, or vote centers. 

    Drop boxes are supposed to provide a secure and convenient option for voters, but incidents like this show the obvious vulnerability of leaving ballots in public collection boxes for extended periods.

    This is not the first time Los Angeles County has dealt with fire damage involving a ballot drop box. In 2020, a ballot box outside the Baldwin Park Library caught fire in a suspected arson incident, forcing firefighters to cut open the box and leaving numerous ballots damaged.

    Election officials routinely tell voters that mail-in voting and drop boxes are safe and secure. Yet voters are now watching another incident unfold in America’s largest county, where ballots were reportedly burned inside an official drop box shortly before a statewide election.”

  13. “Judge awards corporations the right to vote in Delaware town”

    Not The Bee, Mister Retrops, May 31, 2026

    Image for article: Judge awards corporations the right to vote in Delaware town

    “Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig Karsnitz has ruled that companies in Delaware will be able to vote in elections just like people. This is especially wacky for Delaware.

    As per the US Census Bureau, the estimated human population of Delaware is just over 1 million. But there are over 2 million corporations headquartered in the state, which means there are far more companies in Delaware than there are people.

    According to Bloomberg Law, the ruling came up because the town of Fenwick Island was already letting corporations vote in its municipal elections (they own most of the property, after all).

    The ACLU thought letting companies vote as if they were human beings might drown out the real people who actually live in the city of Fenwick Island, so they sued.

    Karsnitz dismissed the lawsuit from Delaware’s Superior Court, citing ‘the principle of one person/entity/one vote.’

    ‘Visions of faceless large corporations or even HAL controlling a small town are frightening and the stuff of science fiction,’ but ‘trusts, partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations are expressly recognized as “persons” in the Delaware Code,’ the judge said.

    So, if corporations are expressly recognized as persons and can vote just like citizens, at least on Fenwick Island, can they also be summoned for jury duty or get called up for the draft?Can foreign companies be denaturalized?”

      1. Delaware is hinky on it’s face – I have never understood how it can be legal for almost every corporation in the US being incorporated in Delaware. They should have to be incorporated in their primary home state, wherever that may be. But anything even remotely connected to the legal system is purposely complicated and confusing so that it requires a law degree to understand the bare minimum.

  14. Just The News: “The Islamic Republic of Iran suspended negotiations with the United States on Monday amid the ongoing U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports and Israeli strikes against the terror group Hezbollah in Lebanon, an ally of Tehran. 

    Iran argues that the U.S. and Israel are in violation of the fragile ceasefire that began in April. 

    “Due to the continuation of the Zionist regime’s actions in Lebanon and given that Lebanon was one of the preconditions of the ceasefire and that this ceasefire has now been violated on all fronts … the Iranian negotiating team will suspend ‘talks and the exchange of texts through mediators,’” Iran’s semi-official news agency Tasnim reported. 

    “The ceasefire between Iran and the US is unequivocally a ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi  posted to X. “Its violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts.” He added, “The US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation.” 

    The U.S. and Iran exchanged fire over the weekend. The U.S. military reportedly struck drone and radar sites and Iran retaliated by launching an attack on Kuwait, a close U.S. partner in the Gulf region.”

I doubt I can buy any ready-made that are the right size since they were one-of-a-kind, built by my SIL. The shed was originally made for a man who was going to use it as an office, so it had to have double doors installed in one end so I could get the mower in and out. The plywood is rotting and I can’t get the south door closed all the way. I wired it together for now but there is a gap big enough for those damned squirrels to get inside so…..I can’t wait too long.

    FTA “Since 2017, Iranians have widely discussed reports that the Obama administration granted a number of U.S. Green Cards (variously reported as 2,500 or 2,800) to Khomeiniist regime leaders as part of a secret codicil to the 2015 nuclear deal, the JCPOA. This allegation was first published on February 14th of that year by Amad News, an outlet founded by dissident Ruhollah Zam, who was later lured into a trap by IRGC intelligence, forcibly taken to Iran, summarily tried, and then executed in 2020. At the time, the story did not gain traction in the West, though it was covered by prominent outlets such as Al Arabiya.

    President Trump, by directing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to search for these individuals and send them back to Iran, is not only protecting his country’s security from possible spies and infiltrators; he is also responding to the desire of the Iranian people.Having watched their country driven toward economic ruin by rulers who chant “Death to America,” many can only smirk in anger when they see the families of those same rulers—who appropriated national wealth—spending it on lives of luxury in the very same “Great Satan,” America. ICE’s actions, however, are only a beginning. If there are more than 2,000 Green Card recipients, then many more may remain to be located, apprehended, and deported.

  22. Housing fraud in Hawaii
    A former Hawai‘i County housing official was sentenced Thursday to nearly four years in prison over a scheme that defrauded the county for nearly $11 million.

    Alan Scott Rudo, 59, was a housing specialist at the Hawai‘i County Office of Housing and Community Development between 2006 and 2018. During his tenure at the department, Rudo conspired with accomplices to fraudulently award housing development agreements and affordable housing credits to those accomplices’ businesses, pocketing about $1.9 million in bribes and kickbacks.

    Through those development agreements, the companies received land valued at about $10.9 million, on which they never built a single unit of housing. The conspirators then sold or transferred the land and the affordable housing credits for a tidy profit.

    Rudo was charged in 2022 with conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud; he pled guilty that same day. Rudo testified at a 2025 trial of his co-conspirators, and was himself sentenced in U.S. District Court on Thursday.

    Judge Jill Otake handed down a sentence of 46 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

    In a sentencing statement submitted to the court, Rudo apologized for his actions.

    “I betrayed the trust the community placed in me and I caused harm that I can never take back,” Rudo wrote. “I think about that every day and I accept full responsibility for my actions. There is no excuse for the choices I made.”

    Rudo wrote the investigation has cost him his marriage, his home and his career, and has forced him to “rebuild [himself] from the ground up.” He said he chose to cooperate with the investigation against his former associates “because it was the right thing to do,” and that he is “committed to doing better.”

    His associates — attorney Paul Sulla, 79, of Hilo; attorney Gary Zamber, 56, of Kea‘au; and businessman Rajesh Budhabhatti, 65, formerly of the Big Island — were themselves charged with conspiracy to commit honest services wife fraud and nine counts of honest services wire fraud, and the three were convicted by a federal jury in 2025.

    Rudo’s co-conspirators were sentenced earlier this year. Zamber was sentenced to 70 months in prison in January, Budhabhatti was sentenced to 90 months in February and Sulla was sentenced to 60 months in April.

  23. UNIONS! now the state workers’ union of CA is fighting Newscum’s order to RETURN TO WORKING IN THE OFFICE rather than teleworking–claiming it will harm the environment and cause traffic jams–nearly 6 YEARS after covid sent them home.

    (The Daily Caller)—A state workers’ union is trying to stop Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s mandate that state employees work in person on the supposed grounds that this will somehow be bad for the environment.

    Newsom issued a mandate in May — more than six years after the COVID-19 outbreak — ordering state employees to work in-person for a minimum of four days per week.

    State employee union California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges and Hearing Officers in State Employment (CASE) issued letters on May 27 to state agencies, claiming that Newsom’s return-to-work order did not use the policiesset in place by a more than five-decade-old environmental law.

    The union’s letters went to over 100 state agencies, according to the Sacramento Bee.

    CASE claims in one of its letters that the return-to-office order will “require hundreds of thousands of additional monthly commutes by state workers, creating hundreds of thousands of new car trips and thousands of tons of additional air pollution from automobile tailpipes.”

    “CASE’s objective here is to ensure that telework decisions are made thoughtfully and transparently rather than through blanket mandates that undermine California’s climate goals,” the letter states.

    The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the law CASE cited, requires that state and local agencies evaluate the significant environmental impacts of proposed projects and take all measures to reduce or eliminate those impacts, according to the California Attorney General’s website. The CEQA was signed into law by then-governor Ronald Reagan in 1970.

    CEQA is known for postponing the construction of new homes, according to the outlet. CASE, however, argued that the environmental consequences of the return-to-work policy must be reviewed under the longstanding environmental legislation.

    CASE threatened to sue if the CEQA review does not take place, according to Reason Magazine.

    This environmental law has often been used to attempt to block policies and projects disliked in California since the lawsuits which come from it are slow to be resolved, according to the outlet. For example, petitioners in Berkley used CEQA to delay the University of California from building more student housing since the school had not evaluated the potential noise pollution the potential residents of the new building would cause.

    CASE’s letter pushes for agencies to evaluate if it’s really necessary for all state employees to work in-person. This is not the first attempt at stopping Newsom’s return-to-work order, according to the Sacramento Bee. There have been multiple other attempts to end Newsom’s return-to-work order by unions, labor groups, and government employees.

    In 2025, anonymous government employees paid for billboards which warned of increased traffic in California due to the mandate, the outlet reported. Labor groups also sued the state, claiming the return-to-work order breached California labor laws.

    A mountain lion has forced residents of Santa Monica and their tiny pets indoors as officials try to track the wild cat.

    The Santa Monica Police Department descended on the residential area of 14th and Montana Friday morning after someone allegedly saw the animal roaming the area.

    “Out of an abundance of caution, officers are in the area assessing the report and working with appropriate wildlife resources. At this time, there are no reported injuries,” a tweet from the department said.

    The mountain lion was first located sleeping in a residential backyard, and has not moved from that location, a SMPD spokesperson told The California Post. Officers are waiting on further assistance from wildlife fish and game officers.

    Hey, humans can be quite tasty, especially those that eat only the healthiest, most organic food, like everyone in Santa Monica.

  33. Just The News: “President Donald Trump said Monday that he does not “care” if peace negotiations with Iran are over, stating that the negotiations had been taking too much time.

    The comment comes after Iran said it was suspending talks with the United States over the continued fighting in Lebanon, with the Iranian foreign minister asserting that the ongoing ceasefire agreement included Lebanon.

    Trump previously stated that the negotiations were proceeding at a “rapid pace,” despite the Iranian regime’s protests.

    “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less,” Trump told CNBC. “If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring. They were giving us what we needed, but I think they handled the negotiations poorly. It took too long. I thought they were tapping us along that’s all.”

    The president also attempted to reassure Americans that gas and oil prices will go down once the conflict with Iran is over and emphasized that the purpose of the conflict was to keep Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

    “Once you explain that this is all about Iran having a nuclear weapon, people are willing to pay a little bit more and it’ll happen very quickly,” Trump said. “As soon as that happens, gasoline will get down to $1.85 like it was in Iowa three months ago.”

    Trump has, for weeks, repeatedly stated that he was close to a deal to end the war, which has officially been in a ceasefire for more than a month. But Iran still has not conceded to key U.S. demands on its nuclear program.”
