Trump’s Cane Sugar Coca-Cola Triumph
July 18, 2025
President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that Coca-Cola has agreed to produce its classic soda using real cane sugar, and is moving production to the United States.
American consumers will finally be able to purchase an equivalent to the imported Mexican version, which many consumers go out of their way to acquire.
The announcement came via Truth Social, where Trump revealed his discussions with company executives.
Trump wrote of his ongoing discussions with Coca-Cola’s leadership to advocate for removing high-fructose corn syrup. “I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so,” he stated.
He also extended his thanks to the Coca-Cola company for their open-minded cooperation.
Trump finished his thoughts by praising the change with gusto, “This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see, It’s just better!”
Coca-Cola has released a statement hinting the changes are coming soon, but did not elaborate. Specifics on their new offerings are to be released in the coming weeks.
The company also expressed its gratitude for Trump’s support, stating, “We appreciate President Trump’s enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand.”
Trump is well-known for his fondness for Diet Coke, making his excitement for the brand all the more endearing.
This move aligns with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, which has been targeting food dyes and additives, many of which are banned in other countries including the European Union.
Kennedy’s MAHA Commission released a report linking high-fructose corn syrup as a contributor to obesity and related health issues. The document called for reforms in food production practices as well as the need for healthier alternatives in popular products.
Coca-Cola transitioned to high-fructose corn syrup in its American formula by the end of 1984. The change was driven by federal subsidies to corn farmers which rendered the syrup a much cheaper alternative to cane sugar.
Trump’s announcement did not come without criticism. Representatives from the corn industry argued that shifting to imported cane sugar could harm domestic markets.
“Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar doesn’t make sense. President Trump stands for American manufacturing jobs, American farmers, and reducing the trade deficit. Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and boost imports of foreign sugar, all with no nutritional benefit,” said John Bode, president and CEO of the Corn Refiners Association
It’s no secret that soda fans prefer real sugar in their pop. High-fructose corn syrup has a thick consistency that makes sodas feel heavier, and Mexican coke has been described in blind tastes tests as having a better mouthfeel.
Coca-Cola doesn’t reveal information on how large the “Mexicoke” market is in the USA, but considering its cult-following, countless Americans are going to thrilled with this change.
BREAKING: Newly Declassified Docs Reveal Barack Obama Helped “Manufacture and Politicize Intelligence” to Create Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax
July 18, 2025
ODNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified a presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax.
Last week CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced that a new CIA report revealed former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper worked together to purposely corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 before Trump entered office.
The three corrupt Obama officials even included the Steele Dossier in their quest to “screw Trump” knowing at the time that the Steele Dossier was complete rubbish.
On Friday it was revealed that Barack Obama knew it was a hoax and he was involved in manufacturing and politicizing the intelligence to create the Trump-Russia collusion canard.
“The IC is prepared to produce and assessment per the President’s request…” the report read.
The Obama administration “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Friday declassified documents revealing “overwhelming evidence” that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump–Russia collusion probe.
Documents revealed that in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia was “probably not trying…to influence the election by using cyber means.”
“We assess that foreign adversaries did not use cyber attacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome this year. We have no evidence of cyber manipulation of election infrastructure intended to alter results,” the report said.
“We assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure,” the report said.
Last week investigative reporter Paul Sperry said Barack Obama’s fingerprints are all over Brennan’s IC report.
He was right.
DEVELOPING: Sources tell me OBAMA’s fingerprints are all over Brennan’s post-2016 election Intelligence Community Assessment/Putin-Trump frameup scandal, which leads directly back to the White House and Susan Rice, Lisa Monaco,Celeste Wallander. Biden also was in on the briefings
Tulsi Gabbard called the Russia hoax a “years-long coup against President Trump.”
Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President @realDonaldTrump, subverting the… pic.twitter.com/UQKKZ5c4Op
Tulsi said that for the months preceding the 2016 election, the Intel Community believed Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack the US elections.
But! After Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, everything changed.

Per Tulsi: On Dec 8, 2016, IC officials prepared an assessment for the President’s Daily Brief, finding that Russia “did not impact recent U.S. election results” by conducting cyber attacks on infrastructure.
Before it could reach the President, it was abruptly pulled “based on new guidance.” This key intelligence assessment was never published.

BARACK OBAMA DIRECTED THE IC TO CREATE A NEW INTEL ASSESSMENT THAT DETAILED RUSSIAN ELECTION MEDDLING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A LIE!
“The next day, top national security officials including FBI Dir James Comey, CIA Dir John Brennan and DNI James Clapper gathered at the Obama White House to discuss Russia. Obama directed the IC to create a new intelligence assessment that detailed Russian election meddling, even though it would contradict multiple intelligence assessments released over the previous several months,” Tulsi said.

Obama admin officials used their friends in the fake news media to push the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
They leaked classified information to WaPo, New York Times, and other fake news reporters like Michael Isikoff.
Obama officials immediately leaned on their allies in the media to advance their falsehoods. Anonymous IC sources leaked classified information to the Washington Post and others that Russia had intervened to hack the election in Trump’s favor. pic.twitter.com/eHdPaGfxbD
“According to whistleblower emails shared with us today, we know Clapper and Brennan used the baseless discredited Steele Dossier as a source to push this false narrative in the intelligence assessment,” Tulsi said.
On January 6, 2017, just days before President Trump took office, DNI Clapper unveiled the Obama-directed politicized assessment, a gross weaponization of intelligence that laid the groundwork for a years-long coup intended to subvert President Trump’s entire presidency.… pic.twitter.com/hlSjnLGnsy
15 Charged in Protest Blocking Ohio-Kentucky Bridge in Support of Egyptian Imam Facing Deportation Over Alleged Ties to Muslim Brotherhood Affiliated Group
July 18, 2025
Covington, Kentucky police arrested 13 people, including two reporters, Thursday night on charges related to a protest in support of an Egyptian Imam facing deportation. The protest blocked the Ohio River spanning John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge that connects Covington with Cincinnati. A total of 15 people were arrested with each granted $2,500 bail at a Friday court hearing in the Kenton County court.

Officers were seen on video subduing apparently resisting protesters with punches.
Police listed charges as: “Charges range from Riot 1st Degree, Unlawful Assembly, Failure to Disperse, Obstructing a Highway, Obstructing Emergency Responders, Criminal Mischief, Disorderly Conduct 2nd Degree, to Resisting Arrest.” Photos and videos of protest after details on the Imam’s case.
According to reports, Egyptian Imam Ayman Soliman, granted asylum in 2018, was jailed last week after his asylum was revoked last month over alleged ties to a Muslim Brotherhood affiliated group, Al-Jameya al Shareya.

A judge has granted a temporary restraining order, allowing a former Cincinnati Children’s Hospital chaplain and local imam to remain in Ohio until his immigration hearing next week.
Ayman Soliman was detained during a check-in with ICE last week at the Homeland Security Office in Blue Ash. Since then, he’s been held at the Butler County Jail.
According to his legal team, a federal district judge has granted a Temporary Restraining Order that will prevent the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from moving Soliman out of Ohio, at least until his immigration bond hearing on July 23.
Soliman was granted asylum in 2018, but that was revoked last month, with claims he worked for a organization, Al-Jameya al Shareya, that was affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a group considered an extremist organization but not designated as a terror organization by the U.S.
Soliman’s legal team denies any involvement, stating the Al-Jameya al Shareya is not a terrorist group, but a nongovernmental organization that provides medical services and charitable community services.
…Soliman has a team of attorneys working on his case. His bond hearing is scheduled for July 23. A follow-up hearing is scheduled in federal court for July 24.
Immigration officials claim Soliman worked for a charity with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an allegation that Soliman and his legal team deny. His legal team told WCPO an asylum officer labeled the organization Soliman was involved with in Egypt as a terrorist group despite both the U.S. and Egypt not designating the group as such.
His attorneys said the asylum officer labeled the group a Tier III terrorist organization last year, saying the group provided support to the Muslim Brotherhood, which they also labeled a Tier III terrorist organization.
While the U.S. says Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization, has roots in the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and some of the leaders of the foreign terrorist organization HASM were previously associated with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, the U.S. has not designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization at this time.
“The dots don’t connect on what they’re saying,” said Kathryn Brady, Soliman’s attorney from the Muslim Legal Fund of America.
At a court hearing in Kenton County on Friday, July 18, a judge set bond for the people arrested and ordered them not to be on the Roebling Bridge.
Both journalists arrested by Covington police on July 17 work for CityBeat, a publication that covers news and entertainment topics in Cincinnati.
Reporter Madeline Fening and photo intern Lucas Griffith were both arrested, CityBeat publisher Tony Frank confirmed.
Fening and Griffith are charged with rioting in the first degree, a felony, and multiple misdemeanors.
Fening is an investigative news reporter with CityBeat who has worked at the publication since 2022, according to her LinkedIn profile. She previously worked for WCPO. She has reported on national issues that touch us locally including fentanyl overdoses, the local Amazon union drive, Ohio’s evolving abortion care landscape, LGBTQ+ rights, and police misconduct, according to her biography on the CityBeat website.
…Most of the defendants were not represented by lawyers. All have been charged with felony rioting and various misdemeanors. The felony carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison.
The judge set all their bonds at $2,500 and has ordered them to return to their next hearing July 23.
COVINGTON, KY- At approximately 8:15 p.m. tonight, Covington Police responded to a protest on the Roebling Suspension Bridge that obstructed traffic and created safety concerns for both demonstrators and the public.
Officers initially attempted to connect with the protest’s organizer, but were immediately met with open hostility and threatening behavior. While the department supports the public’s right to peaceful assembly and expression, threatening officers and blocking critical infrastructure, such as a major bridge, presents a danger to all involved.
After warnings were issued to the group to disperse, several individuals who refused to comply were taken into custody. Covington Police made a total of 13 arrests. Charges range from Riot 1st Degree, Unlawful Assembly, Failure to Disperse, Obstructing a Highway, Obstructing Emergency Responders, Criminal Mischief, Disorderly Conduct 2nd Degree, to Resisting Arrest.
The Roebling Suspension Bridge was temporarily closed during the incident but has since been reopened.
“We respect everyone’s right to protest, but when demonstrations jeopardize public safety and violate the law, our officers must take appropriate action,” said Chief Brian Valenti.
Dozens of officers from agencies across Kenton and Campbell Counties responded.
The Covington Police Department remains committed to protecting the rights of all individuals while maintaining public order.
Respectfully,
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Winship
Assistant Chief of Police – Services / PIO

The Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a political organization, claims that Covington police “violently broke up the protest” and arrested people who were complying with officers’ orders to disperse.
“Some of those arrested were brutally beaten, with multiple protesters requiring medical treatment at a nearby hospital,” reads a press release from the group. “At least one journalist was also arrested by police despite continually signaling their status as a member of the press.”
JUST IN: Another Senior Biden Official Pleads the Fifth, Refuses to Testify on Biden’s Health Decline – Comer Fumes
July 18, 2025
Another top Biden advisor refused to testify on Joe Biden’s health decline.
Senior Joe Biden advisor Annie Tomasini pleaded the Fifth Amendment and did not answer any questions.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer recently identified five Biden aides who were involved in the cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline and the autopen scandal.
Comer demanded testimony from former Dr. Kevin O’Connor and four former aides related to the Biden health scandal.
Chairman Comer had demanded testimony from: Biden White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, Former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to First Lady Jill Biden Anthony Bernal, Former Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, Former Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations Ashley Williams.
Annie Tomasini didn’t say a word to reporters as she walked into her deposition.
WATCH:
BREAKING: Yet another former Biden aide pleaded the fifth to EVERY SINGLE QUESTION.
Comer fumed after a third witness in his investigation pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify.
Comer’s full statement:
The third witness in our investigation into the cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline and unauthorized executive actions pleaded the Fifth Amendment today. There is now a pattern of key Biden confidants seeking to shield themselves from criminal liability for this potential conspiracy.
Annie Tomasini, former Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations, pleaded the Fifth when asked if Joe Biden, a member of his family, or anyone at the White House instructed her to lie regarding his health at any time. She also pleaded the Fifth when asked if she ever advised President Biden on the handling of classified documents found in his garage, if President Biden or anyone in the White House instructed her to conceal or destroy classified material found at President Biden’s home or office, and if she ever conspired with anyone in the White House to hide information regarding the Biden family’s ‘business’ dealings.
It’s unbelievable that Ms. Tomasini and others refuse to answer basic questions about President Biden’s fitness to serve. It’s apparent they would rather hide key information to protect themselves and Joe Biden than be truthful with the American people about this historic scandal. There needs to be transparency and accountability, and we will continue to pursue the truth and examine options to get the answers we need.

Security Guard Drags Keffiyeh-Wearing Anti-Israel Protester By the Ear at Tour de France, Dumps Him Over Barrier (Video)
July 18, 2025
Image: Video screenshot/YouTube.
Anti-Israel protesters can’t seem to help but behave like children in their increasingly childish “look at me” protests.
A keffiyeh-wearing protester at the Tour de France received a response in line with his tantrum after he was dragged by the ear by a security guard and dumped over a barrier.
In the midst of the race, the protester, wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words “Israel out of the Tour,” protesting the Israeli team’s participation in the event, began running down the course.
A security guard quickly clocked the potentially dangerous behavior and shoved the protester against a barrier before grabbing him by the ear and dumping him over the wall.
The protest was presumably directed at the Israel Premier-Tech team, which is registered in Israel, although it does not feature any Israeli bikers at this year’s event.
In April, pro-Palestinian movement Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions dubbed Israel Premier-Tech “Team Genocide,” and called for “peaceful protests.”
“We call for more peaceful protests than ever along the routes of cycling races where Team Genocide is participating, including the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España,” the organization wrote. “Let’s make sure the road is closed to genocide perpetrators.”
Not only was the protester’s behavior childish, but his presence on the course was a risk to the riders who, travelling at very high speeds, could have resulted in a crash, pile-up, and injuries.
In 2021, a woman with a sign in French and German saying “Allez Opi and Omi” or “Go Grandpa and Grandma” jumped out into the road as the cyclists headed her way.
