The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that efforts are underway to remove romaine lettuce from California from the supply chain, as they believe an E.coli outbreak likely originated from the Golden State.
In a series of tweets, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said the goal afterwards is to restock the market with untainted produce from different growing regions.
"UPDATE ON OUTBREAK: The romaine implicated in the current outbreak is likely from California based on growing and harvesting patterns," t said. "The goal now is to withdraw the product that’s at risk of being contaminated from the market, and then re-stock the market."

New Gingrich: The far-left is funding 'war' at southern border
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Monday there is a “war” at the southern border being funded by the far left.
“This war on the border is real,” Gingrich told Fox News. “And what people are trying to do is a psychological war, very often guided, by the way, by American leftists who are activists and American left-wing organizations who are helping finance it.”
Gingrich, who was House speaker from 1995 to 1999, said that the Left’s goal in mobilizing the Central American caravan was to embarrass the U.S. by making it seem as though the government cannot control its border.

French Historian: Multicultural Society Will Lead to a Multi-Conflict Society
Says Islamists have declared “war” on the west
Award-winning French historian Georges Bensoussan warns that multicultural societies will lead to multi-conflict societies and that Islam is incompatible with the Enlightenment ideals of western civilization.
In an interview with Causeur.fr, Bensoussan, author of the Lost Territories of the Republic, warns that France’s crumbling national identity, exacerbated by guilt over its colonial past, will lead to violence.
“A multicultural society (not to be confused with a multi-ethnic society)” will become “increasingly synonymous with multi-conflict society” according to Bensoussan, who says that France “dismisses its own history and mortifies itself endlessly”.
He added that there are over 500 “problematic” no-go zone neighborhood where Salafist Islam is taking over and becoming increasingly impervious to law enforcement
Bensoussan says “a war has been declared (on) us” by Islamists and failure to understand this will leave European countries completely “helpless”.

Save a small engine, reform the Renewable Fuel Standard
Recently, the White House directed the Environmental Protection Agency to begin permitting year-round sale of E15 fuel, which is a blend containing 15 percent ethanol by volume. The trouble with this rule change is that, unless it is coupled with major reforms to the federal Renewable Fuel Standard, American consumers will suffer both financially and environmentally.
E15 is unhealthy for the engines that power motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, boats, lawn mowers, and powered equipment, not to mention cars manufactured in 2000 and earlier. None of the estimated 22 million motorcycles and ATVs currently in operation is approved by the EPA to use E15.
Using E15 in engines not designed for it can result in motor and fuel system damage and jeopardize manufacturers' warranties.

Trump "Not Happy" About GM News, Tells Company To Stop Making Cars In China
Following news of GM's mass layoffs affecting over 14,000 workers and widespread plant shutterings in the US and abroad, it was only a matter of time before President Trump chimed in with many expecting that today's news that the icon of US business is not doing well would prompt a less than excited response from Trump. That's precisely what happened moments ago when Trump, speaking to reporters as he was leaving the White House, said he "wasn't happy" about the General Motors news, noting that the country has done a lot for GM.
Trump, who said he spoke with CEO Mary Barra on Sunday night according to the WSJ, and said that he does not like's GM's decision on North American auto production, said that GM needs to find a replacement for the Chevy Cruze, which isn’t selling, and said he expects that GM will put something else in Ohio. "We have a lot of pressure on them,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House for Mississippi.
Trump also said that he told GM to stop making cars in China, and that he told GM "they better get back in there soon."

GM killing off Chevy Volt, Cruze, Impala and Buick LaCrosse cars
Cars to end production in 2019
General Motors said it will cut more than 10,000 salaried staff and factory workers and close five factories in North America by the end of next year, part of a sweeping realignment to prepare for a future with a greater number of purely electric vehicles.
Four factories in the U.S. and one in Canada, in Oshawa, Ontario, could be shuttered by the end of 2019 if the automaker and its unions don’t come up with an agreement to allocate more work to those facilities, GM said in a statement Monday.
Along with two other factory closures outside North America, the company is jettisoning some of its slower-selling sedans. Specifically, GM said the company will cut the Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala and Cadillac CT6 sedans next year.

Trump Lashes Out at Mueller's 'Conflicts of Interests'
President Donald Trump sent out two tweets Monday morning attacking special counsel Robert Mueller and his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 elections on his first day back at work at the White House following his Thanksgiving vacation in Florida.
"When Mueller does his final report, will he be covering all of his conflicts of interest in a preamble, will he be recommending action on all of the crimes of many kinds from those 'on the other side' (whatever happened to Podesta?), and will he be putting in statements from. . .

"I'm Not Going To Agree That I Lied": Corsi Rejects Mueller's Plea Deal, Plans To Sue
Roger Stone associate Jerome Corsi said on Monday that he is refusing to sign a plea deal offered by special counsel Robert Mueller.
Corsi, who fell under suspicion as an intermediary between Stone and WikiLeaks during the 2016 US election, said he was offered a deal to plea on one count of perjury. According to the New York Times, Mueller presented Corsi with evidence that he had lied when investigators asked him beforehand if WikiLeaks was going to publish stolen DNC emails during the campaign, while Corsi ostensibly served as the conduit.
Among other issues, investigators have been asking about an Aug. 21, 2016, Twitter message in which Mr. Stone predicted that John D. Podesta, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chairman, would soon face his “time in the barrel.” Mr. Stone posted his message six weeks before WikiLeaks began releasing tens of thousands of Mr. Podesta’s emails, throwing the Clinton campaign on the defensive a month before the November election. -NYT
"Having reviewed my records, I am now confident that I am the source behind Stone’s tweet," Corsi wrote in an early 2017 article on Infowars.
While Corsi told the Times two weeks ago that he had told investigators the truth, the special counsel's office "has decided that his text messages and emails contradict some of his statements" concerning the WikiLeaks release, according to people familiar with those discussions.
The 72-year-old Corsi says it's BS;
"They want me to say I willfully lied. I’m not going to agree that I lied. I did not. I will not lie to save my life. I’d rather sit in prison and rot for as long as these thugs want me to," Corsi said.
Corsi tells me he’s been offered plea deal on one count of perjury. “They want me to say I willfully lied. I’m not going to agree that I lied. I did not. I will not lie to save my life.

Marc A. Thiessen: Chief Justice Roberts Is Wrong. We Do Have Obama Judges and Trump Judges.
WASHINGTON — For someone trying to demonstrate that the judiciary is not political, getting into a political fight with the president sure is a funny way to do it.
After President Trump called a judge who ruled against him an “Obama judge,” Chief Justice John Roberts issued an extraordinary public rebuke of the president, declaring in statement “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.” Roberts was not only wrong to speak out, but also his claim that there are no Obama judges or Trump judges was wrong.
If we do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, then why did Senate Republicans block President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia in the final year of Obama’s term? And why did Democrats filibuster Trump’s nominee, Neil Gorsuch, to fill Scalia’s seat?

Is The Deep State Feeling The Heat?
Bad as it may have been, the worst of the Russia Hoax was not the abuse of the FISA electronic surveillance regime for political purposes. Nor is the worst even the patent involvement of our intelligence agencies -- and in particular the FBI and CIA -- in electoral politics. No, the worst aspect of the Russia Hoax is that our intelligence agencies, including elements of DoJ and the State Department cooperating with the Clinton campaign, enlisted the intelligence services of foreign powers -- first in their effort to defeat the candidacy of Donald Trump and, when that effort failed, turning their efforts to what can only be described as an attempted coup against the elected President of the United States.
Shockingly, these later stages of the Russia Hoax have included members of the Legislative Branch who, in the face of clear evidence that the true collusion with foreign powers was that of the Clinton campaign, have worked to delay and to ultimately obstruct Congressional oversight and investigation of the entire Russia Hoax.
So, faced with this determined stonewalling of Congressional oversight by DoJ and the FBI, the President played what has always been his trump card: he ordered the declassification of most of the documents that are central to the Russia Hoax. Led by DAG Rosenstein, the forces of the Deep State were able to delay the release of the documents, but President Trump made it clear that he favors declassification -- and sooner, rather than later.

Study Finds Football Affects Youth Brain Development After Just One Season
Just one season of football resulted in signs of damage to brain development for those youth players who have frequent impacts to the head, according to a study, CNN reported on Monday.
"Repetitive head impact exposure may have a cumulative effect in the rapidly developing brains of youth and high school football players," said study co-author Gowtham Krishnan Murugesan.
The study provided 60 football players between the ages of 9 and 18 who had no history of head trauma or developmental issues with a telemetry system that measures impacts to the head.
The players were put into two categories - those with high cumulative head impacts and those with low cumulative ones.

Democrats Highlight Kamala Harris’s Race As Her Removal From The Senate Judiciary Committee Appears Likely
Liberals are preparing for Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris’s possible expulsion from the Senate Judiciary Committee by highlighting she is a black woman.
In the event that Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith wins the Mississippi runoff election on Nov. 27, the makeup of the Senate Judiciary Committee will shift in favor of the GOP, with a seat currently held by a Democrat flipping red. Consequently, Harris, the most junior Democratic member of the committee, will likely be squeezed out.
“Not only would it be unconscionable to remove the only African American woman from the committee, but Senator Harris also is the most skilled questioner on the entire panel,” Brian Fallon, the former press secretary for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, said according to The Washington Post. “Whatever options they need to consider, removing Harris should not be one of them.”

Franklin Graham: I Back Trump Because He Defends Christian Faith
Evangelical leader Franklin Graham told "Axios on HBO" over the weekend that he supports President Donald Trump because he defends the Christian faith.
"Now people say \, 'Well Frank but how can you defend him, when he's lived such a sordid life?',” Graham said. “I never said he was the best example of the Christian faith. He defends the faith. And I appreciate that very much."
Regarding the president’s treatment of women, Graham, the son of the late Billy Graham and the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said "Trump has admitted his faults and has apologized to his wife and his daughter for things he has done and said. And he has to stand before God for those things."

Democratic donors plot to punish Kirsten Gillibrand for holding Al Franken accountable for his sins
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., has flipped her position on issues before, yet for the one thing she remained admirably principled on — the seriousness of sexual assault — the Democratic donor class reportedly plans on punishing her.
Yes, Gillibrand is going to be punished for the crime of leading the charge to oust sexual predator Al Franken from the Senate.
In case you need a recap of the bevy of evidence that on multiple occasions, Franken made aggressive, unwanted physical advances and even attacks on more than half a dozen women we know of, let me forward you to David Freddoso's exhaustive review from this weekend. If you still find Franken's behavior, evidence and all, excusable, then I suggest you close out of this page now.

Lindsey Graham Invokes Kavanaugh, Rallies Support With Trump As Mississippi Prepares For Runoff
President Donald Trump brought South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham on stage during his rally in Tupelo, Mississippi on Monday night for Republican Senate candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith.
Trump said, “I brought a star along, you know he became an even bigger star during that horrible situation with Brett Kavanaugh. He gave probably 100 words and they’ll go down, I mean you’ll be playing those words for a long time and they were very special.”
