Hawaii Becomes 4th State in West Coast Health Alliance for Science-Based Vaccine Guidance

Hawaii announced its plan to join the West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA) approximately 24 hours after its inception, the Washington State Governor’s Office announced Thursday.  

The WCHA is now comprised of Washington, California, Oregon, and its newest member, Hawaii. The alliance was officially announced on Wednesday as a provider for vaccine recommendations for residents solely based on science.

“We are proud to announce the state of Hawaii is joining the West Coast Health Alliance to uphold the scientific integrity of public health recommendations. We look forward to collaborating as allied states on the best practices for our constituents. Together, we’re taking a stand to ensure the safety of our residents is protected and guided by evidence-based findings and not political whims,” Washington Governor Bob Ferguson, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek said in a joint statement.

Egypt's War on Christian Memory: The Erasure of Coptic Churches and Cemeteries

The crisis surrounding the historic Church of the Virgin Mary in Rashid, Beheira Governorate, Egypt, has once again erupted—this time with brazen attempts to obliterate what remains of the Christian monument. The perpetrators are not anonymous “radicals” but the sons of a criminal court counselor (judge)—men of influence who act like gangsters—determined to demolish the remnants of the church before a government inspection takes place. Their goal is transparent: erase all trace of the church’s Christian identity before the law can intervene.

Thanks only to the intervention of Rashid police, the full demolition was stopped mid-act. The attempt was exposed by Father Luka Asaad, the church’s priest, who has refused to remain silent even at personal risk. He described the incident as “an attempt to erase the church’s historical identity before the litigation stages were completed.” For speaking out, he was beat, dragged out of his church, and robbed of his phone as he tried to document the destruction.

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.
