Taco Bell removes ingredients from its menu because of "explosive diarrhea" concerns.

Write your own joke here.

Taco Bell restaurants are pulling fresh ingredients from the menu as a fast-growing parasite outbreak linked to explosive diarrhea spreads across multiple states.

Locations, including some in Metro Detroit, have posted signs telling customers they are temporarily unable to serve several produce items while health officials respond to a spike in cyclosporiasis cases, WWJ reported on Tuesday.

"We are currently unable to sell Lettuce, Cilantro Onion, Pico de Gallo and Guacamole due to a nationwide recall," the notices say.

"We apologize for the inconvenience. Any items ordered that normally come with these items WILL NOT contain them."

The missing ingredients are staples in several Taco Bell favorites, including tacos, the Crunchwrap Supreme and Cantina Chicken menu items.

It is not clear whether any Taco Bell customers have been sickened by the parasite, according to the report.

The menu shake-up comes as health officials investigate a surge in cyclosporiasis, an intestinal illness caused by the Cyclospora parasite that has sickened nearly 2,000 people across the US.

Exclusive:

Pakistan is expected to refuse to take back the Rochdale grooming gang leader despite plans to change the law so he can be deported

On Monday Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, is expected to announce changes to the 1971 Immigration Act, which prevents Shabir Ahmed from being removed

Ahmed, 73, was released from prison last week after serving 14 years of a 22 year sentence for 30 child rape offences

A loophole in the Immigration Act means that he cannot be returned to Pakistan, despite the fact he has been stripped of his citizenship. The act exempts people from deportation if they came to the UK before 1973 and have lived in the UK for at least five years

Mahmood is expected to confirm that officials have found a way to close the loophole without putting the right to remain of Commonwealth citizens at risk, including Windrush migrants from the Caribbean

However, Whitehall sources confirmed that despite the change in the law they did not expect Pakistan to accept Ahmed. It is demanding the extradition of two political dissidents from the UK in exchange for accepting the return of Ahmed

A senior government source said that Britain would not extradite any of the political dissidents, leaving discussions at an effective stalemate

Can we stop pretending these people bring such Great Cultural Enrichment with them that it cancels out all the child rape, murder, and terrorism?

Muslim pro-terrorism communist Democrat senate candidate "Doctor" Abdul El-Sayed was grilled about why he insists on being called a "doctor" and even a "physician" despite having no license to practice medicine.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got a grilling from a lefty anchor Wednesday about whether he lied by describing himself as a physician despite lacking a current medical license.

El-Sayed's LinkedIn page describes him as a physician, and he claimed to be "a physician and epidemiologist" during an April debate.

"You got attacked by your rivals for calling yourself a physician, not just a doctor, even though you don't have a valid state medical license in New York or Michigan, which apparently is what you need legally to call yourself a physician," Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan pressed El-Sayed, questioning whether the candidate should have just called himself a doctor to avoid the drama.

"At the end of the day, it's not about whether or not I'm a physician or a doctor," El-Sayed replied. "It's not about my education. It's about whether or not your kid gets a good education."

Hasan called out the attempted dodge and stressed that people will question whether "you tell the truth."

That prompted El-Sayed to pivot to touting his time in public health, including as the director of the Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services in Wayne County, Mich.

"Well, I would say that I was the health director for the city of Detroit, and I've done more to provide more people healthcare or eliminate their medical debt than most doctors have done in their practice career," he countered. "So, I'm proud of the work that I did."

The Democratic front-runner also noted that he graduated from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York.

El-Sayed is the former host of a healthcare podcast titled "America Dissected," where he leveraged his credentials as a doctor and hawked questionable health and wellness products.

Ironically, he had called out others, such as current Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, for trying to "sell people s-- they didn't need."

Katie Couric, a dried up old leftwing prune, demands that John Fetterman agree that lowering the White House flag to half-staff and flying his body on Air Force Two (I think) was "over the top" because liberals didn't like him. Fetterman doesn't agree.

Homeschooling is legal in Brazil but a judge has just sentenced two parents to 50 days in prison for "intellectual neglect" because their 11- and 15-year-old daughters, accomplished pianists and polyglots, received no classes on gender theory, sex education, tolerance, diversity and Afro-Brazilian culture.

The court argued that they would suffer in their personal lives and interactions with people of their own age from not knowing the Brazilian funk music style, which romantizes crime, life in favelas and is hyper-sexualized.

Apart from being accomplished pianists, the two girls speak Portuguese,
English and Latin. They also read 30+ classic books per year.

The judge was particularly worried when he heard that one of the daughters is particularly fond of Christian music and doesn't know what funk music is. The judge accused the parents of using their daughters as tools in an "ideological war"

NYP:

A Brazilian court has sentenced a couple to 50 days in prison for "intellectual neglect" after they homeschooled their two daughters without a state-approved curriculum.

A São Paulo criminal court ruled against Audato and Ieda Denardi, alleging they had failed to include programs on "gender and sex education" and "tolerance and diversity" in the curriculum for their daughters, aged 15 and 11, Alliance Defending Freedom ("ADF") International said.

According to the legal group, the court also ruled that the parents failed to properly integrate their children into Brazilian culture, citing the girls' preference for religious and classical music over popular trap or "sertanejo" (folk) music.

Isabel Monteiro, the defense attorney representing the family, said the judge made an "ideological decision to convict them" based largely on the older daughter's preference for sacred music over mainstream music that often features explicit lyrics.

The Denardis were sentenced to 50 days in prison by a lower court in April. They remain free while appealing the ruling, which is believed to be the first criminal prosecution of its kind in Brazil.

The Denardis told Fox News Digital they began homeschooling the girls in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic after realizing their schools were failing to give them a proper education. Ieda said the girls thrived in homeschooling, and so she decided to continue educating the girls at home.

And they do demand your soul.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is accusing Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul of religious bigotry for enforcing a transgender rights law she approved that is forcing Catholic nuns who run a hospice program to choose between their beliefs or caring for indigent, terminally ill patients.

The controversy concerns the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne in Westchester County who run Rosary Hill Home -- a Catholic hospice for the poor.

The order filed a federal lawsuit accusing the state of violating their constitutional rights with a 2024 law that requires the facility to affirm patients' gender identity in regard to pronouns, room assignments and restroom usage.

The law bars nursing or long-term care facilities from discriminating against any resident based on the resident's actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status.

But the Trump Justice Department recently intervened in the case on behalf of the Dominican Sisters, claiming New York is engaged in religious discrimination at the 42-bed hospice care facility.

"What Kathy Hochul is doing to the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne is an absolute disgrace. For over 120 years, these incredible women have done God's work, providing unconditional love, comfort, and dignity to people in their final days," Blakeman told The Post.

"They are saints walking among us, and they represent the absolute best of New York. Yet, Kathy Hochul is actually willing to shut them down, strip away their license, and throw terminal cancer patients out on the street--all to enforce her woke garbage."

...

The Catholic nuns received three letters from the state Health Department informing them of their obligation to comply with the law, according to the suit.

State Attorney General Letitia James, whose office is defending the Hochul administration in court, asked that the case be thrown out and that Hochul's name be removed as a defendant.

BREAKING: DHS confirms that a suspect arrested for murder after he allegedly stabbed his coworker to death at a Michigan meat plant is a Haitian illegal alien who was caught and released at the Texas border by the Biden administration in 2024. ICE has placed a detainer on Valmir Djempsly and he is now charged with murder.

DHS statement:

"This illegal alien barbarically stabbed his coworker to death," said DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "This murderer was released into American communities by the Biden Administration. If it weren't for the reckless open border policies of the Biden Administration, this criminal never would have been in our country in the first place and his victim would still be alive. We have lodged a detainer asking Michigan to not release this dangerous criminal from jail without notifying ICE."

It's not just that women have no business being beat police officers -- it's that the type of woman who decides she should be a police woman is a fucking psychological disaster.

El Salvadorans had "Temporary" Protected Status for twenty five years and Democrats say that's too temporary! Extend it another 25 years!
