Trump Calls on Pharmaceutical Companies to ‘Justify Success’ of COVID-19 Vaccines

Zachary Stieber, Senior Reporter - updated 09/02/25

President Donald Trump on Sept. 1 said that pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, should make public information that they’ve shared with him about their COVID-19 products.

“It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs,” the president said in a post on Truth Social.

Trump said Pfizer and other companies have shown him information “that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public.”

The president then linked what he said was the lack of public information to the turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, whose director he recently fired. After the termination, several top officials resigned, in part because they opposed how the CDC, under orders from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., earlier this year stopped recommending COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women.

It’s Time to Audit the Death Bureaucracy

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/3789116/time-to-audit-death-bureaucracy

A deeply disturbing investigative report in UnHerd 

last week uncovered rampant violations of physician-assisted suicide practices in states with the oldest and largest programs. The 11 states that have legalized assisted suicide require clinicians to submit compliance forms shortly after the “patient’s” death. But the chaotic assisted-suicide bureaucracy rarely follows regulations, and clinicians put people to death with little to no oversight.

Between 2009 and 2023, 515 compliance forms and 293 “written request” documents were missing in the state of Washington. In all, one-third of the state’s assisted suicides were improperly reported. In Colorado, which passed its End of Life Options Act in 2016, almost 1,800 compliance forms are missing. And in New Mexico, where annual compliance reporting is also required by law, there has not been a single report issued since assisted suicide was enacted in 2021. For years, the state’s website suggested that a report was “coming soon,” but state officials quietly removed that promise from its website this summer....

Disturbingly, there have been no suspensions or revocations of clinician licenses connected with these irregularities.

Florida Man Exits Bed in Middle of Night for Car Break-in Alert. Then He Goes after Crook — Still Wearing Superhero Pajamas.

Police in Cape Coral, Florida, said officers responded just after 2 a.m. Wednesday to a burglary in progress at a home in the southeast part of the city. Kyle Myvett told detectives he had gone to bed when his home security cameras alerted him to someone breaking into his vehicle, police said.  

Presumably without a second to spare, Myvett never bothered to change out of his pajamas before going into superhero mode.

Yup, he was still dressed in his Batman PJs when he ventured outside to investigate — and observed the suspect rummaging through his truck, police said.

Former N.Y.C. Mayor Rudy Giuliani Seriously Injured in Car Accident

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was injured in a car accident in New Hampshire on Aug. 30, a spokesperson has confirmed.

Giuliani spokesman Michael Ragusa said in a statement on X on Aug. 31 that the former New York City mayor was involved in the accident after he was flagged down by a woman who “was the victim of a domestic violence incident.”

“Giuliani immediately rendered assistance and contacted 911,” and “he remained on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety,” Ragusa said.

Wyoming Lawmakers Drafting Legislation To Ban Cloud Seeding For 10 Years

Saturday, August 30, 2025

After nearly four hours of educational presentation and passionate testimony, a legislative committee voted Thursday to draft legislation that could halt cloud seeding programs in Wyoming, ban geoengineering, and deliver a message to Congress.

The message the Joint Agriculture, State & Public Lands and Water Resources Committee voted in favor of drafting and potentially sending to Congress remained unclear to the public as the vote happened Thursday.

No lawmaker had read it aloud or described it ahead of the vote.

Resolution sponsor Rep. Mike Schmid, R-La Barge, told Cowboy State Daily in a later text that the proposed joint resolution would urge Congress to disallow unauthorized atmospheric geoengineering and weather modification over Wyoming.

Arkansas Forward Initiative

https://www.dailywire.com/news/arkansas-governor-implements-infant-at-work-policy-ends-remote-work-for-state-employees

Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is rolling out workplace reforms for state employees, including implementing a new Infant at Work policy and ceasing future remote work, The Daily Wire has exclusively learned.

The new policy for parents of newborn babies is part of her Arkansas Forward initiative and will allow parents to bring their infants, from four weeks to six months old, into the workplace with supervisor approval. The program was initially piloted in the Governor’s Office and the Department of Human Services, but will now be expanded statewide. Sanders says it gives working families greater flexibility during a child’s earliest months of life.

“As a working mom, I know how important a child’s earliest months are for bonding and education,” Sanders said in a letter that was sent to state employees. “Working moms and dads are a critical component of our workforce, and I want to make sure we provide additional options for families to have flexibility and not have to choose between staying home with their infant or returning to work.”

What Drives the Transgender Violence Against Christians?

Tyler O'Neil | August 28, 2025  

The man who opened fire at a Minneapolis Catholic school Wednesday, killing two and injuring 17 before taking his own life, drew renewed attention to the threat of transgender mass shooters.

He joins a surprisingly long list of violent offenders who identify or identified as transgender or nonbinary, in the context of a broader movement that suggests such people live under a constant threat of death—from themselves and others. Many of them have explicitly targeted or shown hatred toward Christians.

None of this means most people who identify as transgender pose a violent threat, nor that activist groups like the Human Rights Campaign are intentionally inspiring people to commit violence.

However, the violent trend raises serious questions about the unintended consequences of transgender activists’ rhetoric.

Authorities have reportedly confirmed that the Minneapolis shooter, whom FBI Director Kash Patel identified as 23-year-old “Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman,” identified as transgender.

Westman joined the ignominious ranks of male-identifying Audrey Elizabeth Hale, 28, who shot and killed three children and three adults on March 27, 2023, at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian school in Nashville, Tennessee. Police fatally shot her during the attack.

Physicians in Quebec Continue to Push for Infant Euthanasia

By Cassy Cooke 

Physicians in Quebec continue to push for infant euthanasia.  The Quebec College of Physicians has confirmed in recent reports that the group still wants infants to be eligible for euthanasia in Canada, following the lead of the Netherlands. 

Key Takeaways: Since legalizing euthanasia, Canada has reached one of the highest rates of the fatal practice in the world. The nation is already set to legalize euthanasia for the mentally ill. A group of Quebec physicians is continuing to push for infants to be eligible for euthanasia. Infant euthanasia is already legal in the Netherlands. 

Cam MacDonald: Capturing a Gold Metal and More

I am sorry to hear about your recent car accident, how it has left you in pain and temporarily unable to do many of the things that you love. As someone who has dealt with a disability their whole life, I understand how frustrating things can be. I know how it feels to be isolated and left out.

I understand that frustration can often lead us to contemplate suicide (MAID) or self-harm, but I also know that if circumstances were different and things were going well, this would not be something that you would be considering. When I have contemplated suicide, the four areas of struggle for me have been faith, hope, peace and purpose. When I am in these situations, it is a struggle to think positively. Yet, in every situation, there are eventually good things waiting, just around the corner.

Why Making DC Safe Is Critical for American Foreign Policy

Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | August 26, 2025

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The U.S. State Department’s law enforcement arm is joining forces with police in the crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., in a bid to make the city safe for visiting foreign leaders.

“As our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., is often the first place foreign leaders, dignitaries, and officials see when they come to the United State,” principal deputy spokesman Tommy Pigott told The Daily Signal. “It is a representation of our country to the rest of the world, and it is our duty to ensure that it is safe and clean.”

The Diplomatic Security Service is actively partnering with the Metropolitan Police Department and other law enforcement to support the president’s mission of reducing and deterring crime in Washington.

“[Secretary of State Marco] Rubio is proud to have members of the Diplomatic Security Service helping to implement the president’s priority to ensure D.C. is a safe place for our fellow Americans and guests to visit,” Pigott said in an exclusive statement. “Thank you to the brave men and women of the Diplomatic Security Service and to all officers who are supporting this important mission.”

Wilders Calls for Shutdown of Migration into the Netherlands after Muslim Migrant Stabs Girl to Death

Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders has called for a complete shut down of allowing asylum seekers into the Netherlands in the wake of the killing of a 17-year-old girl in Amsterdam allegedly at the hands of an asylum seeker.

Last week, the Netherlands was horrified by the brutal death of 17-year-old Lisa, who was stabbed to death while returning to her Amsterdam apartment following a night out with friends.

On Friday, it was revealed that the 22-year-old suspect in the alleged murder was in the country as an asylum seeker. He is also suspected in two other incidents, including a violent sexual attack on another woman on August 14th and an attempted sexual assault on August 10th, according to Dutch daily De Telegraaf.

Following the disclosure of the suspect being an asylum seeker on Friday, Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders called for an immediate and “complete asylum ban” in the Netherlands.

The call was reiterated in the PVV’s manifesto for the upcoming general election in October released on Saturday. In a forward to the programme, Wilders said that “the Netherlands is full, overcrowded, absolutely overflowing.”

Getting Rid of Mail In Ballots

By John R. Lott Jr.

“I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS,” President Trump declared Monday in a Truth Social post. Later that day, he promised an executive order “to end mail-in ballots because they are corrupt. You know we are the only country in the world, I believe, I may be wrong, just about, the only country in the world that uses them because of what happened, massive fraud all over the place.”

Trump has remained consistent; even before the 2020 election, he warned: “There is a lot of dishonesty going on with mail-in voting.”

Trump doesn’t need to hedge about voting rules abroad. Poland was the one other country that considered conducting its 2020 presidential election by mail during the pandemic, but even it abandoned the attempt. Countries don’t use the kind of mass mail-in voting now used in eight states – where states automatically send ballots to all registered voters, who then mail them back. That system differs from absentee ballots, which require a request and traditionally demanded a reason, such as being out of town on Election Day.

Breaking: HHS to Announce ‘Certain Interventions’ Behind Rising Autism Rates, RFK Jr. Tells Trump Cabinet

By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said today during a Trump administration Cabinet meeting that his agency is on track to announce the findings of an ongoing study on the causes of autism next month.

“We’re finding interventions, certain interventions now that are clearly almost certainly causing autism, and we’re going to be able to address those in September,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy noted that in 1978, fewer than 1 in every 10,000 children had autism. Today, the numbers are about 1 in 31 nationally, he said.

President Donald Trump responded that “there has to be something artificially causing this, meaning a drug or something.”

Appeals Court Unanimous in Pivotal Ruling on Undated or Misdated Mail-in Ballots

Carlos Garcia, 08/26/25

The ruling orders Pennsylvania to honor mail-in ballots that are undated or misdated.

The Republican National Committee was dealt a blow by a unanimous decision of the Third Circuit Appeals Court in the RNC's effort to discard undated and misdated ballots in Pennsylvania.

The three-judge panel said in the 55-page ruling that the affected ballots needed to be counted and failing to do so was unconstitutional. Pennsylvania voters are required to write the date on the envelope for their mail-in ballots.

'Discarding thousands of ballots every election is not a reasonable trade-off in view of the date requirement's extremely limited and unlikely capacity to detect and deter fraud.'

"The date requirement imposes a burden on Pennsylvanians' constitutional right to vote," the court ruling reads. "And it culminates in county election boards discarding thousands of ballots each time an election is held. The date requirement will not protect against the vast majority of attempts at voter fraud."

Doctors Sue CDC Over Childhood Vax Schedule, Demanding Proof It Does More Good Than Harm

https://www.theblaze.com/news/doctors-sue-cdc-over-childhood-vax-schedule-demanding-proof-it-does-more-good-than-harm

Joseph MacKinnon August 24, 2025 

The doctors want the recommendations reclassified so they no longer operate as 'binding national mandates.'

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. indicated during a congressional hearing in June that kids "get 69 to 92 jabs" by the time they are 18 years old. Now, two doctors are working to change the burden of proof from on the patients who are subjected to them, to on the government agencies that effectively demand them.

Tony Lyons, president of MAHA Action, told Blaze News that the "vaccines have never been properly tested, either individually, in groupings, or as the full schedule, so no one can honestly say that they are not linked to the chronic disease epidemic."

Two doctors backed by the advocacy group Stand for Health Freedom have filed a lawsuit against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention challenging the agency's recommended childhood immunization schedule.

Dr. Paul Thomas and Dr. Kenneth Stoller, both of whom had their medical licenses suspended and revoked in recent years for standing up against the vaccination regime, want to flip the burden of proof on the matter.
