Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s endorsement of former President Donald Trump is a marvel to behold. It is astonishing that such a prominent member of America’s quintessential Democrat family embraced the most conservative Republican nominee since President Ronald Reagan.

If a majority of Kennedy’s roughly 6% of likely voters support Trump on November 5, they could compose the 3.1% that he might need to edge Vice President Kamala Harris in a photo finish. But Kennedy should add value beyond Election Day. If re-elected, Trump should ask him to chair a new Presidential Commission to Make Free Speech Great Again.

RFK JR.: TREATMENT OF ASSANGE WAS A SHAMEFUL STAIN ON OUR FIRST AMENDMENT

Kennedy and his commissioners should investigate federal assaults on the First Amendment, most notoriously the election-interference campaign to censor news coverage of Hunter Biden’s Laptop from Hell.

"The FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma," Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wrote House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R – Ohio) on Monday. After the Oct. 14, 2020 story in the New York Post exposed Hunter Biden’s laptop and its evidence of the Bidens’ dodgy international deals, "we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply. It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story."

After conferring with then-Biden-Harris campaign aide Antony Blinken (now secretary of state), former acting CIA chief Michael Morrell recruited 50 other former intelligence officer to sign an open letter that dismissed the Post’s exclusive for containing "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Biden-Harris’ allies and other Deep State denizens used the ex-spies’ communiqué to dragoon Facebook, Twitter (now X), and other social-media giants into censoring the Hunter Biden story. In fact, Twitter (pre-Elon Musk) padlocked the Post’s account for 15 days!

Meanwhile, during his final debate against Trump that Oct. 22, Joe Biden used the ex-spies’ bogus letter to denounce the Post’s true story as "a bunch of garbage."

Mission accomplished! Millions of voters never learned about the Biden family’s corruption that haunted Hunter Biden’s laptop. Within days, Crooked Joe captured the Oval Office.2

"In 2021," Zuckerberg added, "senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree."

Biden-Harris’s Justice Department sicced the FBI on "domestic terrorists," specifically parents who complained to school boards about Critical Race Theory and radical transgender treatment of minors. The Administration proposed that a Disinformation Governance Board patrol the Internet for undesirable "misinformation" and then deplatform and punish Biden-Harris’s detractors.

While public ridicule doomed the DGB, Biden-Harris reportedly still coerce tech giants to silence the administration’s critics. Biden-Harris’ FBI also spied on "violent extremists," namely Latin-Mass Catholics.

These unconstitutional policies also oppressed Kennedy. As the pandemic roared on, his concerns about COVID-19 vaccines got buried.

"What alarms me is the resort to censorship, media control, and weaponization of the federal agencies," Kennedy said in Phoenix on Aug. 23, as he suspended his campaign. "When a U.S. president colludes with, or outright coerces, media companies to censor political speech, it’s an attack on our most sacred right of free expression."

As a victim of Biden-Harris’ censorship, Kennedy is ideally suited to investigate their War on the First Amendment. The Kennedy Commission should identify every federal employee who perpetrated these unconstitutional outrages. Trump then should tell these totalitarians: "You’re fired!" The attorneys among them should be disbarred and their law licenses shredded. Those who violated federal law should be prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned.

And on Day One, Trump should revoke the security clearances of those 51 lying ex-spies. This would signal — big league — that censorship is dead, and free speech is alive and well.

What a beautiful, bipartisan victory this would be for America, courtesy of Democrat Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Republican Donald J. Trump.

Health advocates brought a recent TIME Magazine article under fire for appearing to suggest ultra-processed foods (UPFs) might not be "as bad as you think."

The article, published last week, followed one California-based dietitian's fight against the "mounting war on ultra-processed foods" and why they are excessively demonized, including a widespread neglect to address food insecurity and UPF consumption among marginalized groups.

The article also links to a 2024 study which found that those who consume processed foods can still be healthy and suggested that "although the researchers did find links between heavily processed diets and risk of premature death," overall diet may be the more important factor.

"Some of these articles really are irresponsible in their messaging," Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier said Sunday.

ULTRAPROCESSED FOODS WITH ‘FEEL-GOOD CHEMICALS’ COULD BE AS ADDICTIVE AS CIGARETTES AND DRUGS, STUDY SUGGESTS

"When we're talking about food, obviously, walking outside, getting your fresh fruits and vegetables and even animal products, farm-to-table is the healthiest thing you could possibly do, but we also have a lot of minimally processed foods, like olive oil [and] tuna fish, because it's changed from its natural state, and now it's put into oil or given some salt. But then what we're really talking about here are those ultra-processed foods, which not only has changed from its natural state, but additives, chemicals, preservatives and even dyes and artificial flavorings are now being added to it."

Saphier explained that food items with a shelf life beyond two weeks are likely ultra-processed.

"Not all ultra-processed foods are equally bad for you," she continued. "But the bottom line is – it's all kind of bad for you, so the messaging shouldn't be, 'Well, they're not that bad.' The messaging should be. 'How can we get healthier, more nutritious foods to into the people's homes so they're not reliant on cheaper unhealthier alternatives?'"

DEPRESSION RISK SPIKES FOR THOSE WHO EAT THESE UNHEALTHY FOODS, STUDY FINDS: ‘NOT A COINCIDENCE’

Just last year, another TIME article labeled, "Why Ultra-Processed Foods Are So Bad for You," linked ultra-processed foods to increased risk of dementia, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and other comorbidities while sounding alarm bells over foods with ten or more ingredients and long shelf lives.

Though last week's article makes no mention of either figure, some speculate the change came after former Independent presidential candidate RFK, Jr. and former President Donald Trump joined forces partially under the pledge to "Make America Healthy Again." 

"This is how they tell liberals what to think," Kennedy Jr. wrote on X in response to critics pointing out the conflicting TIME articles.

Kennedy has specifically homed in on the link between ultra-processed foods and chronic disease, particularly in children.

"We are mass poisoning all of our children and our adults," he insisted previously.
