JUST IN: Two dueling narratives tonight as Vance's meeting with Iran in Switzerland gets cancelled.
US side: White House says logistics "have never been simple or predictable."
Iran side: a source tells Al Mayadeen the Iranian delegation postponed over Israel's ongoing strikes in southern Lebanon, warning that strikes reaching 10km into Lebanese territory violate the first clause of the MOU.
Two very different explanations for the same no-show.

I’m at the Reflecting Pool right now and it looks worse than EVER! Paint is peeling off the floor.

Dear MAGA Idiots,
Is THIS what you voted for?!?
In today's edition of ' *
The ongoing Reflecting Pool Saga just got even dumber in the most Trumpian way imaginable: that hydrogen peroxide solution they poured into the pool two days ago to address the growing algae problem is now !!!

Tourists began noticing huge floating chunks of... near the edges of the pool this morning. Upon pulling the debris out, it became immediately clear what it was: the "American-flag blue" coating Trump just applied last week for $14 million.
WHO KNEW that !?!?
What's that?
Literally EVERYONE who works with paint?
Well, eff me.
' ...
Allow me to walk you through the fiasco point-by-point:
• Donald Trump declares the reflecting pool is "disgusting" due to all the algae in it—which he blames on Biden and Obama—declares he can easily fix it with one of his "terrific pool guys" for $1.8 million because he's "built hundreds of pools" (this isn't actually a ), then awards a $14.2-million no-bid contract to an industrial coating company that's never worked on a pool before to paint the entire pool "American-flag blue" to beautify it for our 250th anniversary.
• Instead of "beautifying" anything, the dark blue paint heats up the pool excessively, causing the algae to bloom even faster than before and turning the "American-flag blue" water "Kermit-the-Frog" green.
• In an effort to kill the out-of-control algae, workers dumped in massive amounts of hydrogen peroxide solution around the pool's edge. But since they didn't actually get the pool to mix up properly, it only killed the algae around the edges of the pool, creating a neon-green racing stripe down the center.
• And since they didn't spread it out evenly, the extra-high dosage near the edges created a strong enough concentration to reproduce the chemical effects of industrial paint-stripping formulas.
So, to recap: the paint Trump applied to fix the algae made the algae worse, and then the chemicals they applied to fix the worse algae stripped the paint.

The Trump administration's diet is bolstered — and sulfured — by gut-boosting, fart-inducing staples.

Trump’s cabinet is going all out for kraut.

Spearheaded by Dr. Sean O’Mara, the diet du jour for the current administration is akin to the carnivore diet in that it leans heavily on animals protein, but it’s bolstered — and sulfured — by sauerkraut and other gut-boosting, fart-inducing staples.

Lured by the promise of weight loss and glowing skin, the kraut-devout club includes Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Vice President JD Vance, according to the Wall Street Journal.

O’Mara claims his signature diet — which requires users to abstain from sugar and alcohol while eating heaps of red meat and fermented foods — aids digestion, boosts the gut microbiome and reduces visceral fat, the deep fat that wraps around your internal organs.


Sauerkraut, in particular, has become a trendy food for gut health because the fermentation process produces several byproducts that are “hugely beneficial” for your health. That fermentation also gives it its signature pungent smell — and can make your body produce its own pungent gas.

Other food staples include eggs, pickles and berries. For snacking, O’Mara encourages eating “old world cheese,” including Gorgonzola and Parmesan.

Kennedy reportedly adopted the diet last year after meeting O’Mara and has credited the meal plan with helping him drop 20 pounds, reduce overall aches and pains and flat out eliminate symptoms of atrial fibrillation.

​


Vance, WSJ reports, then took up the kraut-cure at Kennedy’s suggestion. The VP adopted the diet for Lent earlier this year, and has never looked back, according to Kennedy.

Lutnick, who avoided red meat for years for fear of cancer, is now also an O’Hara adopter, having traded Diet Coke for plain iced coffee and white meat for red.

As one of the physicians assigned to assist the White House during the second Bush administration, O’Mara has long advised politicians on the importance of what is on their plate.

Now in private practice, O’Mara’s direct consulting services are priced at $18,000, while his “optimization plans” start at $8,000.

While O’Mara maintains that the diet can benefit people of all ages, he is particularly interested in how it can challenge and change people of a certain age.

I’m a doctor — this ancient 27-calorie condiment has ‘insane health benefits’​


“I tend to like to work with older people because the ROI is so much greater…. It’s like taking over a sinking ship, a company that is headed to bankruptcy,” he told the WSJ.

From bankrupt to booming, sauerkraut is an established boon for the body as it contains both prebiotics and probiotics.

These bioactive compounds come from live bacteria and microorganisms that break down the sugars in cabbage while it’s fermenting.

Working alongside the prebiotic fiber in cabbage, postbiotics boost gut microbiome diversity, which is essential for smooth digestion, nutrient absorption and a strong immune system.

They can also help dial down inflammation. A study from the University of California, Davis found that sauerkraut outperformed raw cabbage in protecting intestinal cells from inflammation-related damage — a potential game-changer for digestive disorders like inflammatory bowel disease.

What doctors and dietitians like best — and worst — in the new food pyramid​


Experts maintain that even a regular single serving of sauerkraut can help build digestive resilience and reduce inflammation.

However, if you plan to follow in the footsteps of the Kraut-cabinet, take it slow as fermented food can produce gas and bloating.

The trick: Begin with a small amount each day and work up to a full serving, which is about half a cup. Your body will adjust in 30 days.




O’Mara’s diet also seems to have influenced RFK Jr.’s new dietary guidelines, which, for the first time in history, include recommendations to incorporate fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi and kefir.

In keeping with O’Mara’s recommendations and in an attempt to end what RFK Jr. calls “the war on saturated fats,” the guidelines also prioritize several specific foods high in saturated fat, such as meats, poultry, eggs, full-fat dairy and butter.

However, many experts warn about the real dangers of O’Mara’s meal plan and similar carnivore-esque diets, which can land some people in the hospital with serious conditions, including this disturbing case of a man who literally had cholesterol seeping out of his hands.

The carnivore diet poses a higher risk of kidney stones, digestive issues, higher cholesterol, nutritional deficiencies and, most worryingly, colon cancer.

BREAKING: New Book Exposes Trump's Disgusting Nightly Habits Inside the White House

A bombshell new book is pulling back the curtain on what really happens inside the White House after dark, and the picture it paints of Trump is about as far from "presidential" as you can get.

According to Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, a forthcoming book by veteran White House correspondents Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Trump's nighttime routine leaves White House staff cleaning up his messes every single morning. The 80-year-old president has developed a habit of raiding snacks late at night and leaving the evidence scattered across the floor, including empty chip bags, Starbucks wrappers, and ice cream cartons.

It gets worse. Staff were reportedly forced to begin monitoring the trash after they discovered Trump had been accidentally throwing away historic White House sterling silver utensils along with his junk food wrappers. That's right. The man entrusted with the most powerful office on earth was tossing priceless American artifacts in the garbage next to his potato chip bags.

Then there's the bathroom situation. Trump apparently insists on carpeting in his bathroom rather than standard flooring, a preference his own staff found baffling and unsanitary. The carpet nearest the shower was frequently soaked through, and aides privately worried about mold growing underneath. Their solution was to layer another piece of carpet on top rather than address the root problem. It is a fitting metaphor for this entire administration.
