ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GUILTY—OF BEING PALE AND INFECTIOUS
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel on the significance of the tuberculosis outbreak and how illegal immigration plays a role and says bird flu is currently not a risk to the human population
A potentially deadly disease known as “the white plague” has been rising in the U.S. since the pandemic, health officials have warned.
Tuberculosis (TB) gets its nickname from the pale appearance of those affected with the disease.
Oh, the drama! As America’s beloved Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel delicately connects the dots between tuberculosis—aka “the white plague” (because what says drama like a 19th-century nickname?)—and illegal immigration, we’re reminded that nothing says public health like blaming the “other.” Meanwhile, bird flu gets a clean bill of health; apparently it’s too polite to infect humans right now. Back on the TB front, cases that mysteriously “dipped” during the pandemic due to underdiagnosis have rebounded with vigor—proof that if you can’t see a disease, it’s not there, until it is. And just to keep things lively, meningitis throws its own surprise midwestern soiree, because obviously one outbreak at a time is just too straightforward for our national health pageant. Bravo, America, where the only thing growing faster than disease stats is the soundtrack of self-righteous finger-pointing.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

West Virginia DayJune 20, 2026
West Virginia Day is a state holiday in West Virginia to celebrate its joining the Union in 1863 as the 35th state. The creation of the state was a result of the Civil War. The settlers of western Virginia defied the state's vote to secede from the Union, and on June 20 West Virginia formally entered the Union as an anti-slave state. The day is marked with ceremonies at the state capitol in Charleston and at the West Virginia Independence Hall in Wheeling. It was there that the conventions were held to declare West Virginia's independence from Virginia.

Black TeaJune 20, 2026
Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
