Top US Officials Reject Amendments to International Health Regulations That Gives

HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. formally rejects the 2024 International Health Regulations Amendments that strip power from US government and gives it to the World Health Organization. – HHS YouTube acct.

The US Health and Human Services Department and State Department on Friday officially rejected the latest World Health Organization rules on pandemic response measures.

HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a joint statement on the proposals that gives the WHO the ability to order global lockdowns, travel restrictions, or any other measures it sees fit to respond to nebulous “potential public health risks.”

The US will not be participating in this globalist power grab.

The Health and Human Services Department released this statement.

US Health and Human Services reported:

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio today issued a Joint Statement of formal rejection by the United States of the 2024 International Heath Regulations (IHR) Amendments by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The amended IHR would give the WHO the ability to order global lockdowns, travel restrictions, or any other measures it sees fit to respond to nebulous “potential public health risks.” These regulations are set to become binding if not rejected by July 19, 2025, regardless of the United States’ withdrawal from the WHO.

“The proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations open the door to the kind of narrative management, propaganda, and censorship that we saw during the COVID pandemic,” Secretary Kennedy said. “The United States can cooperate with other nations without jeopardizing our civil liberties, without undermining our Constitution, and without ceding away America’s treasured sovereignty.”

Secretary Kennedy also released a video explaining the action to the American people.

“Terminology throughout the amendments to the 2024 International Health Regulations is vague and broad, risking WHO-coordinated international responses that focus on political issues like solidarity, rather than rapid and effective actions,” Secretary Rubio said. “Our Agencies have been and will continue to be clear:  we will put Americans first in all our actions and we will not tolerate international policies that infringe on Americans’ speech, privacy, or personal liberties.”

Robert Kennedy Jr. released this statement earlier today.

The WHO global pandemic treaty that was being discussed for several years would have given sole authority over what constitutes a pandemic. And, as we have seen over the past two years, just about anything qualifies as an ‘existential threat to public health’ including, but not limited to: misinformation, parents protesting at school boards, free speech, and – of course – racism. The fact that the WHO is on the cusp of unrestricted authority to decide these measures should terrify every American.

What’s more, the changes also include plans for a mandatory and universal vaccine passport system that’s overseen by the WHO. In fact, the globalist organization has already contracted a German-based company, called ‘T-Systems’, to develop the technology.

According to Garret Mehl – the head of WHO’s Department of Digital Health and Innovation, the plan for the new universal system is to issue a QR code digital ID to every single person on the planet – that way, everyone is tracked. But, don’t worry, it’s just a “trust-building” exercise, Mehl explains.

Oh, is that all?

Thankfully the WHO global pandemic treaty failed in 2024. But that has not stopped the globalists from continuing their drive to control the US and the world with their totalitarian and likely flawed future pandemic rules.

Once again, President Trump, Robert Kennedy, Jr., and Marco Rubio made a principled stand for the American public.

Thank God for Trump and his outstanding cabinet members!

JUST IN: Another Senior Biden Official Pleads the Fifth, Refuses to Testify on Biden’s Health Decline – Comer Fumes

Another top Biden advisor refused to testify on Joe Biden’s health decline.

Senior Joe Biden advisor Annie Tomasini pleaded the Fifth Amendment and did not answer any questions.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer recently identified five Biden aides who were involved in the cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline and the autopen scandal.

Comer demanded testimony from former Dr. Kevin O’Connor and four former aides related to the Biden health scandal.

Chairman Comer had demanded testimony from: Biden White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, Former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to First Lady Jill Biden Anthony Bernal, Former Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, Former Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations Ashley Williams.

Annie Tomasini didn’t say a word to reporters as she walked into her deposition.

WATCH:

Comer fumed after a third witness in his investigation pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify.

Comer’s full statement:

The third witness in our investigation into the cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline and unauthorized executive actions pleaded the Fifth Amendment today. There is now a pattern of key Biden confidants seeking to shield themselves from criminal liability for this potential conspiracy.

Annie Tomasini, former Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations, pleaded the Fifth when asked if Joe Biden, a member of his family, or anyone at the White House instructed her to lie regarding his health at any time. She also pleaded the Fifth when asked if she ever advised President Biden on the handling of classified documents found in his garage, if President Biden or anyone in the White House instructed her to conceal or destroy classified material found at President Biden’s home or office, and if she ever conspired with anyone in the White House to hide information regarding the Biden family’s ‘business’ dealings.

It’s unbelievable that Ms. Tomasini and others refuse to answer basic questions about President Biden’s fitness to serve. It’s apparent they would rather hide key information to protect themselves and Joe Biden than be truthful with the American people about this historic scandal. There needs to be transparency and accountability, and we will continue to pursue the truth and examine options to get the answers we need.

On Wednesday, Jill Biden’s ‘work husband’ Anthony Bernal pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer a single question on Joe Biden’s health decline.

Last week Joe Biden’s physician Dr. O’Connor refused to testify before the Oversight Committee and pleaded the 5th Amendment.

15 Charged in Protest Blocking Ohio-Kentucky Bridge in Support of Egyptian Imam Facing Deportation Over Alleged Ties to Muslim Brotherhood Affiliated Group

Covington, Kentucky police arrested 13 people, including two reporters, Thursday night on charges related to a protest in support of an Egyptian Imam facing deportation. The protest blocked the Ohio River spanning John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge that connects Covington with Cincinnati. A total of 15 people were arrested with each granted $2,500 bail at a Friday court hearing in the Kenton County court.

Officers were seen on video subduing apparently resisting protesters with punches.

Police listed charges as: “Charges range from Riot 1st Degree, Unlawful Assembly, Failure to Disperse, Obstructing a Highway, Obstructing Emergency Responders, Criminal Mischief, Disorderly Conduct 2nd Degree, to Resisting Arrest.” Photos and videos of protest after details on the Imam’s case.

According to reports, Egyptian Imam Ayman Soliman, granted asylum in 2018, was jailed last week after his asylum was revoked last month over alleged ties to a Muslim Brotherhood affiliated group, Al-Jameya al Shareya.

Background on Soliman’s case via WLWT-TV on Wednesday (excerpt):

A judge has granted a temporary restraining order, allowing a former Cincinnati Children’s Hospital chaplain and local imam to remain in Ohio until his immigration hearing next week.

Ayman Soliman was detained during a check-in with ICE last week at the Homeland Security Office in Blue Ash. Since then, he’s been held at the Butler County Jail.

According to his legal team, a federal district judge has granted a Temporary Restraining Order that will prevent the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from moving Soliman out of Ohio, at least until his immigration bond hearing on July 23.

Soliman was granted asylum in 2018, but that was revoked last month, with claims he worked for a organization, Al-Jameya al Shareya, that was affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a group considered an extremist organization but not designated as a terror organization by the U.S.

Soliman’s legal team denies any involvement, stating the Al-Jameya al Shareya is not a terrorist group, but a nongovernmental organization that provides medical services and charitable community services.

…Soliman has a team of attorneys working on his case. His bond hearing is scheduled for July 23. A follow-up hearing is scheduled in federal court for July 24.

More from WCPO-TV (excerpt):

Immigration officials claim Soliman worked for a charity with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an allegation that Soliman and his legal team deny. His legal team told WCPO an asylum officer labeled the organization Soliman was involved with in Egypt as a terrorist group despite both the U.S. and Egypt not designating the group as such.

His attorneys said the asylum officer labeled the group a Tier III terrorist organization last year, saying the group provided support to the Muslim Brotherhood, which they also labeled a Tier III terrorist organization.

While the U.S. says Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization, has roots in the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and some of the leaders of the foreign terrorist organization HASM were previously associated with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, the U.S. has not designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization at this time.

“The dots don’t connect on what they’re saying,” said Kathryn Brady, Soliman’s attorney from the Muslim Legal Fund of America.

Excerpt from the Cincinnati Enquirer on the arrested reporters:

At a court hearing in Kenton County on Friday, July 18, a judge set bond for the people arrested and ordered them not to be on the Roebling Bridge.

Both journalists arrested by Covington police on July 17 work for CityBeat, a publication that covers news and entertainment topics in Cincinnati.

Reporter Madeline Fening and photo intern Lucas Griffith were both arrested, CityBeat publisher Tony Frank confirmed.

Fening and Griffith are charged with rioting in the first degree, a felony, and multiple misdemeanors.

Fening is an investigative news reporter with CityBeat who has worked at the publication since 2022, according to her LinkedIn profile. She previously worked for WCPO. She has reported on national issues that touch us locally including fentanyl overdoses, the local Amazon union drive, Ohio’s evolving abortion care landscape, LGBTQ+ rights, and police misconduct, according to her biography on the CityBeat website.

…Most of the defendants were not represented by lawyers. All have been charged with felony rioting and various misdemeanors. The felony carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison.

The judge set all their bonds at $2,500 and has ordered them to return to their next hearing July 23.

Covington Police statement on the protest arrests:

COVINGTON, KY- At approximately 8:15 p.m. tonight, Covington Police responded to a protest on the Roebling Suspension Bridge that obstructed traffic and created safety concerns for both demonstrators and the public.

Officers initially attempted to connect with the protest’s organizer, but were immediately met with open hostility and threatening behavior. While the department supports the public’s right to peaceful assembly and expression, threatening officers and blocking critical infrastructure, such as a major bridge, presents a danger to all involved.

After warnings were issued to the group to disperse, several individuals who refused to comply were taken into custody. Covington Police made a total of 13 arrests. Charges range from Riot 1st Degree, Unlawful Assembly, Failure to Disperse, Obstructing a Highway, Obstructing Emergency Responders, Criminal Mischief, Disorderly Conduct 2nd Degree, to Resisting Arrest.

The Roebling Suspension Bridge was temporarily closed during the incident but has since been reopened.

“We respect everyone’s right to protest, but when demonstrations jeopardize public safety and violate the law, our officers must take appropriate action,” said Chief Brian Valenti.

Dozens of officers from agencies across Kenton and Campbell Counties responded.

The Covington Police Department remains committed to protecting the rights of all individuals while maintaining public order.
 
Respectfully,

Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Winship
Assistant Chief of Police – Services / PIO

WCPO reported on a statement by the local DSA chapter (excerpt):

The Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a political organization, claims that Covington police “violently broke up the protest” and arrested people who were complying with officers’ orders to disperse.

“Some of those arrested were brutally beaten, with multiple protesters requiring medical treatment at a nearby hospital,” reads a press release from the group. “At least one journalist was also arrested by police despite continually signaling their status as a member of the press.”

BREAKING: Newly Declassified Docs Reveal Barack Obama Helped “Manufacture and Politicize Intelligence” to Create Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax

ODNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified a presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax.

Last week CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced that a new CIA report revealed former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper worked together to purposely corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 before Trump entered office.

The three corrupt Obama officials even included the Steele Dossier in their quest to “screw Trump” knowing at the time that the Steele Dossier was complete rubbish.

On Friday it was revealed that Barack Obama knew it was a hoax and he was involved in manufacturing and politicizing the intelligence to create the Trump-Russia collusion canard.

“The IC is prepared to produce and assessment per the President’s request…” the report read.

Per Fox News:

The Obama administration “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Friday declassified documents revealing “overwhelming evidence” that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump–Russia collusion probe.

Documents revealed that in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia was “probably not trying…to influence the election by using cyber means.”

“We assess that foreign adversaries did not use cyber attacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome this year. We have no evidence of cyber manipulation of election infrastructure intended to alter results,” the report said.

“We assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure,” the report said.

Last week investigative reporter Paul Sperry said Barack Obama’s fingerprints are all over Brennan’s IC report.

He was right.

Tulsi Gabbard called the Russia hoax a “years-long coup against President Trump.”

Tulsi said that for the months preceding the 2016 election, the Intel Community believed Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack the US elections.

But! After Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, everything changed.

Per Tulsi: On Dec 8, 2016, IC officials prepared an assessment for the President’s Daily Brief, finding that Russia “did not impact recent U.S. election results” by conducting cyber attacks on infrastructure.

Before it could reach the President, it was abruptly pulled “based on new guidance.” This key intelligence assessment was never published.

ABLECHILD: 30,000 Feet Mental Health Meltdown? Air India Crash Exposes Deadly Risk of Pilots on Psychiatric Drugs

Air India Crash Exposes Deadly Risk of Pilots on Psychiatric Drugs

Republished with permission from AbleChild

While Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, reassures the flying public that air travel is now so safe that there is no longer a need to remove shoes prior to boarding aircraft, the tragic June 12, 2025, Air India crash raises larger concerns for the flying public that have nothing to do with the size of liquid containers but certainly something Secretary Noem and her colleagues at the FAA and the NTSB may want to address.

According to news reports about the Air India crash, investigators are focusing attention on the data being reveal through the aircraft’s black box recordings and, specifically, what the pilot had to say prior to the deadly crash.

Apparently, investigators are concerned that the pilot, Sumeet Sabharwal, seconds into the flight, turned off the fuel supply to the engines, causing the Boeing Dreamliner to slam into the ground killing all but one of the 230 passengers and all 12 of the crew. Investigators now are interested in the pilot’s medical records, trying to come up with a motive. What would have caused pilot, Sabharwal, to purposefully crash the aircraft?

Well, as it turns out, Sabharwal, reportedly had depression and some mental health issues, despite both flight pilots having, within the past two years, passed the Class 1 medical exam, which takes into consideration the pilot’s psychological capabilities. Nevertheless, it is certain that both fuel switches had to have been pulled upward to unlock them. This action was not by accident…it had to be deliberate.

So, understanding that the fatal action was deliberate one now must consider the bigger question…how many commercial pilots, transporting millions of travelers around world, have been diagnosed with a mental disorder and are being treated with mind-altering drugs?

Remember it has been ten years since the deadly 2015 Germanwings flight that was deliberately crashed into the French Alps by pilot Andrea Lubitz. Lubitz killed all 150 on board by diving the aircraft into a mountain. Investigators reportedly found a “number of medications for the treatment of psychological illness” during a search of the pilot’s home. It also was reported that Lubitz had been treated by several neurologists and psychiatrists.

That was ten years ago. Fast forward to the January 29, 2025, midair collision between American Airlines passenger jet and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River. While investigators have not released the complete investigation or autopsy information, it has been reported that “there is no indication that Capt. Rebecca Lobach was suffering from health issues at the time or that a medical event affected her during those final moments…”  That’s important information, but it does not explain whether the military captain had been diagnosed with any mental disorder or was being medicated with any mind-altering drugs.

It should be of interest to the flying public that pilots, and commercial airlines, do not have to disclose which of its pilots are being medicated for a mental disorder. Nope. In fact, just trying to find specific data about how many pilots are currently taking mind-alerting drugs as treatment for a mental disorder is nearly impossible.

The fact that the public is unaware of whether the pilot (or all the flight’s crew) is being treated for a mental disorder does not bode well for flight safety nor informed consent for that matter. Here’s the point. Shouldn’t a paying passenger have the right to know if the people flying the aircraft have their minds chemically altered in order to function appropriately?

AbleChild recently learned that not only are commercial aircraft pilots and Air Traffic Control personnel allowed to take serious psychiatric drugs as treatment for mental disorders, but the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has expanded the number of psychiatric drugs that pilots and controllers may take and still fly the friendly skies.

In a May 29, 2025, update to the Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners (AME’s), acceptable anxiety diagnoses include generalized anxiety disorder, situational anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, unspecified anxiety, postpartum depression, situational depression, situational anxiety and depression, unspecified depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and PTSD.

The FAA also explains that “a pilot can have up to two listed conditions treated with any combination of psychotherapy; medication; a single metal health medication last taken, prescribed or recommended two or more years ago.”

The chemical treatments the FAA allows pilots to take while flying include Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Effexor and Pristiq. Of course, AbleChild would be remis without reminding the public that neither the pharmaceutical companies that produce the drugs nor the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that approves the drugs for use, know how any of these drugs “work” in the brain to “treat” any mental disorder.

And, not to belabor the point, let’s just consider for a moment the possible adverse events associated with just one of the FAA approved psychiatric drugs, Zoloft. Possible side effects associated with Zoloft (Sertraline) include aggressive reaction, confusion, drowsiness, inability to sit still, mood or behavior changes, seizures, agitation, anxiety, aggravated depression, depersonalization, mania, paranoia, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, abnormal thinking, hallucination, psychotic disorder and psychosis. If even one of these adverse events occurs during flight, this does not bode well for the safety of the flying public. It’s also of interest – even weird – that pilots are not allowed to use psychiatric drugs that “treat” ADHD. Antidepressants are fine, but don’t use ADHD drugs!

Clearly, the possible adverse events associated with just one of the drugs allowed by the FAA would lead one to wonder if the federal agency is appropriately tracking drug use among pilots and drug use associated with airline accidents. The last publicly available toxicology report only covered data up to 2017. With increased use of mind-altering drugs among pilots, air traffic controllers and aircraft crew, it seems imperative that the Secretary of Homeland Security may want to work with her colleagues at the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to not only collect yearly data but make it publicly available.

AbleChild recently introduced legislation that became law in Tennessee that requires toxicology tests be conducted on all perpetrators of shootings involving four or more victims and results of those data be made public. The FAA may want to consider a similar approach involving the number of pilots and air traffic controllers using psychiatric drugs to function.

Afterall, there are ample data revealing air accidents that have occurred at the hands of pilots being “treated” for mental illness. If the FAA is comfortable with pilots suffering from mental disorders flying, then there should be no problem allowing the public to know how many pilots are being treated and how many air accidents are occurring at the hands of those pilots being treated.

The mission of the FAA is “to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world.” One might argue that allowing pilots to fly commercial aircraft while being medicated with serious psychiatric mind-altering drugs is not in the public’s best interest. However, providing the necessary crash data on a yearly basis would go a long way to reassuring the public that air travel is safe, despite the pilot’s altered mind .

Germany’s Friedrich Merz Admits that Europe Was ‘Free-Riding’ on US Defense and Security

Germany’s Merz: ‘we have been free-riders in the past’.

In so many geopolitical aspects, US President Donald J. Trump has been way ahead of the curve.

Case in point: the (lack of) fairness in the defense efforts by the Western powers.

Since his first mandate, Trump has railed against NATO allies (and Europe in general) for freeloading on the US’ military infrastructure, forcefully calling on them to dramatically step up their defense spending.

Trump was called all sorts of bad names by European Globalists, by Democrats, Rinos, and Neocons.

But now, years later, we get to see German Chancellor Friedrich Merz openly admitting the Trump criticism that Europe ‘was doing too little to fund its own defense and security’.

BBC reported:

“’We know we have to do more on our own and we have been free-riders in the past’, he told the BBC’s Today Program, ‘they’re asking us to do more and we are doing more’.”

“Merz told Nick Robinson, in his first UK broadcast interview as chancellor, that he had now met Trump three times and they were on good speaking terms: ‘I think President Trump is on the same page; we are trying to bring this war to an end’.

‘We are on the phone once a week; we are coordinating our efforts. One issue is the war in Ukraine, and the second is our trade debates and tariffs’.”

Merz has been a ‘supporter of Ukraine’ since before he won the Chancellorship.

“Even before he had been sworn in, the chancellor steered through a change in the German constitution to enable a huge rise in defense spending, saying the rule now for German defense was to do whatever it takes.

‘We are not strong enough, our army is not strong enough, so that’s the reason why we are spending a lot of money,” he said in his BBC interview’.”

Security Guard Drags Keffiyeh-Wearing Anti-Israel Protester By the Ear at Tour de France, Dumps Him Over Barrier (Video)

Image: Video screenshot/YouTube.

Anti-Israel protesters can’t seem to help but behave like children in their increasingly childish “look at me” protests.

A keffiyeh-wearing protester at the Tour de France received a response in line with his tantrum after he was dragged by the ear by a security guard and dumped over a barrier.

In the midst of the race, the protester, wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words “Israel out of the Tour,” protesting the Israeli team’s participation in the event, began running down the course.

A security guard quickly clocked the potentially dangerous behavior and shoved the protester against a barrier before grabbing him by the ear and dumping him over the wall.

Watch here.

The New York Post reports:

The protest was presumably directed at the Israel Premier-Tech team, which is registered in Israel, although it does not feature any Israeli bikers at this year’s event.

In April, pro-Palestinian movement Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions dubbed Israel Premier-Tech “Team Genocide,” and called for “peaceful protests.”

“We call for more peaceful protests than ever along the routes of cycling races where Team Genocide is participating, including the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España,” the organization wrote. “Let’s make sure the road is closed to genocide perpetrators.”

Not only was the protester’s behavior childish, but his presence on the course was a risk to the riders who, travelling at very high speeds, could have resulted in a crash, pile-up, and injuries.

In 2021, a woman with a sign in French and German saying “Allez Opi and Omi” or “Go Grandpa and Grandma” jumped out into the road as the cyclists headed her way.

Her actions injured several cyclists and knocked top cyclists out of the race.

REVEALED: WSJ ‘Reporter’ Who Wrote Epstein Hit Piece on President Trump Has a Connection to Founder of Fusion GPS, Which Was Funded by Hillary and the DNC to Produce the Russia Hoax

Joe Palazzolo X account photo

The ‘reporter’ behind the disgusting smear piece produced by one of America’s leading newspapers has a connection to one of the greatest scandals in American political history.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, The Wall Street Journal published a hit piece on President Trump on Thursday night involving Jeffrey Epstein.

The paper alleged Trump wrote Epstein a “bawdy” letter for his 50th birthday depicting a naked woman. Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly prepared a ‘special gift’ and collected letters from Trump and others.

“The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair,” The Wall Street Journal reported.

Trump has denied the report and has vowed to sue The Wall Street Journal, News Corp., and Rupert Murdoch.

Now, Real Clear Politics National Political Correspondent Susan Crabtree has uncovered a damning connection between the reporter who wrote the hit piece, Joe Palazzolo, and Fusion GPS, which Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC funded.

Palazzolo previously worked as a reporter for Main Justice, Glenn Simpson’s wife’s publication. As we all know, Glenn Simpson founded Fusion GPS, which produced the Steele Dossier.

The Dossier was then used to falsely smear Trump as a Russian asset. All because leftists needed to invent an excuse why Trump shockingly won the 2016 election.

From Crabtree:

The Wall Street Journal reporter who broke the “blockbuster” story alleging a letter Trump wrote to Epstein for his 50th birthday included some tawdry elements previously worked for Main Justice (his only prior reporting experience listed in his bio).

Main Justice was Glenn Simpson’s wife’s publication. Simpson founded Fusion GPS, which was paid by Hillary Clinton/the DNC (through Perkins Coie) to produce the Steele Dossier at the center of the Russian hoax against Trump.

Both Glenn Simpson and his wife, Mary Jacoby, worked for the Wall Street Journal before launching their own enterprises.

What are the odds that this is just a mere coincidence?

The most likely answer is that this Epstein garbage piece produced by the Journal was coordinated by outside actors who sensed Trump was in a vulnerable spot, and thought they could deliver the kill shot, metaphorically speaking.

WAYNE ROOT: If You’re Still Mad at President Trump Over Epstein Files, Stop to Think About What America Would Look Like If Kamala Had Been Elected Instead. That’s Your Alternative. Now Thank God for Trump.

By Wayne Allyn Root

No, I’m not telling you to not be upset or disappointed about the Epstein decision. I am too.

No, I’m not telling you not to complain, not to vent your anger.

I disagree with the decision, too. I urged President Trump to reconsider and either release the Epstein file, or name a Special Counselor.

And the good news is, he has responded. He just ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all grand jury testimony. That’s a smart decision.

Because this Epstein List controversy was obscuring the list that matters most- the long, superhuman list of achievements that Trump has accomplished to start his second term.

This Epstein controversy has been obscuring the fact that this has been the greatest start to any Presidency in history. And a remarkable past two weeks. And even a remarkable past 24 hours. Trump is hitting home runs.

Except for Epstein.

For once, the New York Times quoted me correctly and accurately. The New York Times just featured a story on how Trump’s base and biggest MAGA media backers feel about the Epstein story.

They quoted Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer, General Mike Flynn, Alex Jones, Roseann Barr and yours truly.

The Times basically reported that TV and radio host Wayne Allyn Root wants Trump to release the Epstein files…but Root remains Trump’s biggest backer and recognizes all his remarkable success.

True and true.

I’m not alone. According to the latest CNN and Quinnipiac polls, Trump’s approval has gone up with Republican voters since the Epstein controversy. Trump’s approval in one poll rose from 86% to a remarkable 88%, and in the other from 87% to a stunning 90% approval.

So, it turns out while many in the MAGA movement want Trump, and expect Trump to release the Epstein files, it turns out the vast majority also acknowledge and recognize his remarkable one-in-a-billion achievements.

So, I’d like everyone who is still angry at President Trump over the Epstein decision, to just think about what America would look like right now, and what your lives would look like right now, if Kamala Harris had been elected.

Think long and hard about this one. And then thank God for President Trump- with or without the response you want with the Epstein files.

If Trump had lost, and Kamala had won, here is what America would look like…

*Our nation might very well be in “climate change lockdown right now.

*You might be stuck in a “15-minute city.” Where you’d need permission from government to drive more than 15 minutes from your home.

*There’d be no “Drill, baby, drill,” so your electric bill, gas bill and fuel for your car would all be at record levels. Inflation would be surging right now, destroying the great American middle class.

*There would be no “Big Beautiful Bill,” so we’d all be hit with the biggest tax increase in history. More money for Big Brother and less for you.

*Forget “no tax on tips” and “no tax on OT” and the new $6,000 extra tax deduction for seniors. Without Trump, they’d all be gone.

*Instead of 2 million new job gains for American-born citizens and a loss of 500,000 jobs for foreign-born citizens since Trump took over, we’d have the opposite. Corporations would have signs up saying, “We Don’t Hire Americans.”

*You know the $15 trillion of investment President Trump just got for America from foreign governments? It would be gone. Who’d be dumb enough to invest in Kamala’s America? No one.

*Instead of most companies in America eliminating DEI, the entire economy would be based on DEI. White people- no jobs for you. But if you’re black or brown and lesbian with no qualifications, you’re the new CEO!

*Our country would look more like Stalin’s Soviet Union than America. We’d be experiencing massive censorship and banning of conservatives and critics of government. Free speech would be a thing of the past. Social media posts would result in SWAT teams invading your home to arrest you in front of your children for a tweet.

*Conservatives and MAGA patriots would be declared “domestic terrorists.”

*I’m guessing conservative talk radio and TV would be declared “hate speech” and “racist” and taken off the airwaves.

*Boys winning championships and scholarships in girls’ sports would be celebrated and encouraged.

*So would transgender brainwashing in school, and transgender hiring, and transgenders in the military.

*Remember Rachel Levine and Sam Britton- two butt-ugly guys wearing wigs, dresses, and high heels? They’d be in control of your life.

*The untested, deadly experimental Covid vaccine would be mandatory. The unvaccinated would be branded as pariahs, unable to live normal lives in America.

*Our border would be in ruins- we’d be witnessing a massive foreign invasion like no one has ever seen in world history, with tens of millions of illegal aliens waiting at the border, to cross into America, and bankrupt our country.

*We’d already be in WW3.

*And few young Americans would be willing to join a U.S. military infested with woke ideology, and transgenders in your foxhole. So, we’d already have a military draft in place, so Kamala could send your sons and daughters to the Russian front.

*America would be a one- party state with rigged elections for the rest of all-time.

*And “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” would still be a hit.

Thank God for President Trump.

So, disagree with him on releasing the Epstein files all you want. I want them released, too.

But he’s still the G.O.A.T. The best we’ve ever had in my lifetime, and my educated guess says he’s also the best we’re ever going to get in the future.

And the alternative would have been the end of America, the end of freedom and free speech, the end of capitalism, the end of free and fair elections, and the end of YOU and me.

Are you still mad at Trump? Maybe a little, but you’ll get over it. Think about the alternative.

Now thank God for Trump.

DEVELOPING: Explosion at Sheriff Training Facility in Los Angeles Leaves Three Dead

There was a deadly explosion at a Sheriff training facility in East Los Angeles on Friday morning.

At least three Sheriff’s Deputies were killed, according to Fox News.

No other details about the explosion were immediately available.

The FBI is on scene. The explosion appears to be an accident.

Federal law enforcement officers are at the scene working to learn more, US Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

KABC reported:

Authorities are investigating an apparent explosion at an LASD facility in Monterey Park where at least three people were killed.

The incident was reported just before 7:30 a.m. Friday at what looked to be LASD’s SEB compound, which houses the sheriff’s department’s special enforcement units and bomb squad.

It appears something may have exploded near a law enforcement vehicle, according to AIR7 footage.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the scene. It’s unclear if there were any other injuries.
