At one point in America, people were losing their careers for declaring Covid-19 was man-made in a Chinese biolab funded by U.S. dollars. Now, a report has come out that exposes U.S. efforts to fund biolabs worldwide. These labs were working on “gain of function” virus research.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard released a comprehensive report exposing a ring of global biolabs funded by the U.S. She announced, “After months of searching through intelligence community holdings and files, today I’m releasing new evidence of long-standing U.S. government funding of more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries…

Now until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from the American people. Many of these U.S.-government funded biolabs are currently or have previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens and, in some cases, included dangerous gain-of-function research with very little visibility or oversight.”

EXCERPT:

Back in May, then Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard launched an investigation into more than 120 biological laboratories abroad that were allegedly funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars, as part of an effort to end potentially risky experiments with viruses pursuant to President Trump’s executive order on so-called “gain-of-function” research.

Gabbard told The Post Monday in a statement that her team is going “to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain and what ‘research’ is being conducted to end dangerous gain-of-function research that threatens the health and wellbeing of the American people and the world.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have,” the spy chief also said.

“Yet despite these obvious dangers, politicians, so-called health professionals, like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of these US-funded and supported biolabs and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth.”

Shortly after, she resigned her position to care for her husband, who was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer.

However, on Friday, she announced the results of that investigation on social media.

“After months of searching through intelligence community holdings and files, today I’m releasing new evidence of long-standing U.S. government funding of more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries.

Now these bio labs include labs in places like Ukraine, which could be at risk for compromise due to the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war. In fact, the Intelligence Community had previously warned that a U.S.-funded biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to long-standing threats of Russian attack, seizure or damage.

Now until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from the American people.Many of these U.S.-government funded biolabs are currently or have previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens and, in some cases, included dangerous gain-of-function research with very little visibility or oversight.

Progressives in Virginia are already strategizing how to overcome their state’s Supreme Court ruling that struck down their new redistricting map. The map would have given the progressives 4 more U.S. House seats.

Virginia Supreme Court overturns Democrats’ redistricting measure – ABC News – Breaking News, Latest News and Videos

EXCERPT:

The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday overturned the state’s redistricting ballot measure, delivering a major setback to Democrats who hoped the new map would allow them to flip up to four congressional seats.

In a 4-3 ruling, the Virginia Supreme Court said the Democratic-led legislature violated procedural requirements when referring the measure to the ballot. Virginia voters approved the ballot measure in an election last month.

The state’s Supreme Court said Virginia will need to use its congressional map from 2021 instead.

The decision is a win for Republicans, who are now currently set to net more seats than Democrats in the ongoing, nationwide mid-decade redistricting scramble.

Virginia plans to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, lawmakers from Virginia said on Friday in a filing asking the Virginia Supreme Court to delay its ruling.

Leaders of the separatist movement of Canada’s western province Alberta claim to have enough signatures to trigger a vote on separation from Canada.

EXCERPT:

Alberta separatists said Monday they have formally submitted almost 302,000 signatures to try to trigger a referendum on the province leaving Canada.

The group needed 178,000 signatures to force the province to consider such a vote.

The question of separation could go on a provincewide ballot as early as October, as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said she would move forward if enough names are gathered and verified. Smith has said she personally does not support the oil-rich province leaving Canada.

A yes vote would not trigger independence automatically. Negotiations with the federal government would have to take place and Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said some Indigenous groups who are already using the courts to prevent an independence referendum would use venues including the courts to stop independence from happening.

In a move that is sure to be immediately challenged in a progressive court, President Trump has announced a plan to end the DHS pay freeze without using congress. He declared, “They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen again….

Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do! Therefore, I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports.”

Trump Ends DHS Payment Freeze Without Congress, Issues Immediate Orders to New DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin – westernjournal.com

In an announcement on Truth Social Thursday evening, President Donald Trump announced that he would be ordering new Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin to pay Transportation Security Agency officials who have been working without salary during the DHS shutdown.

It was unclear from the statement how he planned to find the funds, but said the move would be through executive order.

The Associated Press noted that the administration had considered using the declaration of a national emergency to move funding through, although the wire service noted it “would be politically fraught and almost certain to face legal challenges.”

Puerto Rican Governor Jenniffer Gonzalez signed an amendment to Senate Bill 823 that recognizes an unborn child as being a human being. The bill is seen as an assault on the abortion industry, which it thankfully is. The Governor declared an unborn child is legally a person, and now, that declaration is codified into Puerto Rican law.

She said at the signing that the law “aims to maintain consistency between civil and criminal provisions by recognizing the unborn child as a human being.” Puerto Rico joins 38 states that recognize the unborn as a person and 27 states that provide protection of the unborn throughout the prenatal period of human development.

Why Puerto Rico’s Double Homicide Law Involving Pregnant Mothers Terrifies the Abortion Industry – standingforfreedom.com


Puerto Rico just passed a law recognizing unborn babies as human beings under the penal code, impacting cases that involve the murder of pregnant women and revealing society’s contradictions regarding life and abortion.


On Thursday, Puerto Rico Gov. Jenniffer González signed into law a measure that recognizes unborn babies as human beings under the territory’s penal code. The amendment to Senate Bill 923 alters the legal definition of murder to include the killing of a fetus, establishing consistency between Puerto Rico’s civil and criminal provisions.

The legislation was named after Keishla Rodríguez, a pregnant woman murdered in April 2021, whose killer — former boxer Félix Verdejo — received two life sentences for the double homicide.

Another hospital is being forced to stop its Moloch practice of sacrificing children to the transgendered god. NYU Langone Health has announced it is cancelling its transgender treatment program for kids out of fear of losing federal funding.

The hospital appeared to be clueless to the violent pedophilic crimes it has committed, confessing it ended the program due to the “current regulatory environment,” and not because mutilating children to satisfy your transgender ideology is pure evil, as normal human beings can clearly see and understand.

It stated, “Given the recent departure of our medical director, coupled with the current regulatory environment, we made the difficult decision to discontinue our Transgender Youth Health Program. We are committed to helping patients in our care manage this change. This does not impact our pediatric mental health care programs, which will continue.”

A New York hospital announced Tuesday it is discontinuing its so-called “Transgender Youth Health Program,” citing leadership changes and regulatory pressure.

NYU Langone Health, a Manhattan-based hospital system, said the program offered medical interventions such as hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries to minors.

Similar decisions have occurred at other institutions amid the same federal pressures.

In a statement provided by spokesman Steve Ritea, the hospital said:

The wanna-be world czar Bill Gates signaled to the world that the climate change hoax jig was up after admitting “The doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community to focus too much on near-term emissions goals, and it’s diverting resources from the most effective things we should be doing to improve life in a warming world. The biggest problems are poverty and disease, just as they always have been.”

This signals a potential shift in globalist strategy from promising to save the world from human greed and the brown people from the white devil, they’re going to go back to the basics, economic class. President Trump wasn’t letting Gates surrender so gently, however.

He quipped back, “I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax. Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue,” he added. “It took courage to do so, and for that we are all grateful. MAGA!!!”

CNN’s Harry Enten Says Majority Of Americans Believe Trump Is Delivering On Promises– dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten found on Tuesday that the majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump is delivering on his campaign promises.

A majority of voters, 52%, believe that Trump is fulfilling what he promised throughout his 2024 campaign, prompting him to currently have a 43% approval rating, Enten said while citing his aggregate data. The voters expected Trump to secure the border, bring down inflation and address crime, which have caused his favorability rating to remain steady.

“Donald Trump is who the voters thought he was,” Enten said. “What are we talking about here, well, ‘Is Trump doing what he promised?’ in the 2024 campaign? Yes! 52%, a majority of Americans say that Donald Trump is doing what he promised, compared to 48% who said no. So what essentially is going on here is the voters expected all of this from Donald Trump. The majority did, and that’s why his favorability ratings simply has not really moved all that much compared to where it was a year ago.”

“Trump is basically doing what the American people thought that he was going to do and indeed, if you look at the numbers, Trump has basically the same, steadiest favorable rating this much through a presidency of any president on record and it’s basically where he was a year ago. Good enough to get him reelected,” Enten continued.

Trump Admin Says Minnesota Violated Title IX Over Males in Female Sports– legalinsurrection.com

President Donald Trump’s administration is not messing around when it comes to defending Title IX.

The Education Department and Health and Human Services found that Minnesota violated Title IX by allowing males to participate in female sports.

The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) did not stop males from competing on female lacrosse, track & field, volleyball, and fastpitch softball teams.

“For too many years, Minnesota’s political leadership has found itself on the wrong side of justice, common sense, and the American people. Now the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League find themselves on the wrong side of Title IX by allowing males to compete in women’s sports,” stated Education Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor. “The Trump Administration will not allow Minnesota or any other state to sacrifice the safety, fair treatment, and dignity of its female students to appease the false idols of radical gender ideology. Once an education program or entity takes federal funds, Title IX compliance becomes mandatory. And the federal government will hold Minnesota accountable until it recognizes that fact.”

After claiming last week that Antifa was a dangerous threat, President Donald Trump has officially declared Antifa a domestic terrorist organization, signing an executive order that lays out in detail the anarchist group’s violent campaign against law enforcement, political opponents, and even ordinary Americans.

The White House’s rapid response announced the move on social media:

“NEW: President Donald J. Trump just signed an order officially designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.

Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. … This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.

Sec. 2. Designation as a Domestic Terrorist Organization. … I hereby designate Antifa as a ‘domestic terrorist organization.’” 

The official White House fact sheet underscores the danger Antifa poses:

“Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide… Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity… This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.”

The administration also released a detailed list of Antifa’s recent history of violence:

“In July 2025, members of an Antifa cell ambushed officers at an ICE facility in Texas… In February 2024, a transgender Antifa terrorist detonated an explosive device outside the office of Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall… In 2020, Antifa terrorists designated a substantial portion of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle as a so-called ‘autonomous zone,’ leading to multiple deaths and injuries… In 2017, an anti-Trump socialist opened fire on Members of Congress playing baseball, wounding Rep. Steve Scalise and four others.”

Trump ally assumes Virginia prosecutor post after Letitia James case scuffle – Washington Examiner

Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide and longtime personal attorney to President Donald Trump, has officially taken over as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, replacing Erik Siebert after he was forced out amid internal resistance to indict one of Trump’s chief political adversaries: New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Halligan’s surprise elevation to lead the pivotal prosecutorial office comes as top Trump allies sharpen their attacks on James, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt accusing her Monday of turning the justice system into a political weapon.

“Letitia James completely abused her oath of office,” Leavitt said Monday afternoon. “What was Letitia James’s campaign slogan? It was ‘prosecute Donald Trump.’ She was saying she was going to prosecute Donald Trump before she even knew if Donald Trump committed a crime — which, of course, we did not.”

Halligan formally took over the position as the lead prosecutor for the Commonwealth’s Eastern District shortly after Leavitt’s remarks to reporters, CNN reported, including a photo of Halligan reportedly arriving for her first day.

The Virginia prosecutor’s office had been under pressure from top administration officials for months to bring charges against James, who led the civil fraud case against Trump last year, resulting in a $454 million judgment against him. The financial component of that judgment has since been overturned, and the Democratic-led Empire State is appealing that ruling.

Half of registered voters agreed that people celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination should be fired, according to a new poll.

ABC briefly suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for the last week over comments he made about Kirk’s assassination. Kimmel was reinstated by the company on Monday.

Kimmel’s temporary suspension, as well as several other firings in universities and sports organizations across the country, has raised concerns about freedom of speech and censorship.

Before ABC announced the suspension, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel’s comments on Kirk’s assassination.

The poll, conducted by RMG Research and the Napolitan News Service on 1,000 registered voters, found 51% of respondents said it is appropriate for private companies to fire people who celebrate an assassination like Charlie Kirk’s online.

The poll showed steep partisan divides as 80% of Republican respondents and 27% of Democrat respondents agreed that it is appropriate for private companies to fire people who celebrate an assassination like Kirk’s.

“Sadly, the poll shows that early reactions have been just as partisan as everything else in the political world,” said Scott Rasmussen, founder of the Napolitan Institute.

Trump Scores SCOTUS Win In Bid To Fire FTC Member– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

President Trump scored another win at the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday after the high court temporarily agreed he can fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

The justices granted a request by the administration to place a stay on an injunction issued by Biden-appointed D.C. District Judge Loren AliKhan. That ruling attempted to bar Trump from using his executive authority to remove FTC member Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat, from her post.

Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the government’s request to pause the injunction.

As is typical with decisions on its emergency (or “interim”) docket, the court did not provide a reasoning for the decision. It did, however, reveal that it has agreed to take up the merits of the case and is poised to hear oral arguments in December.

According to the order, the parties are instructed to answer whether “the statutory removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission violate the separation of powers and, if so, whether [Humphrey’s Executor v. United States] … should be overruled,” and if “a federal court may prevent a person’s removal from public office, either through relief at equity or at law.”

The court’s stay will expire once the justices hand down a judgment in the case.

From the outset of his current administration, President Trump has made the prevention and improved treatment of autism an all-hands-on-deck priority. 

“Effective immediately, the FDA will be notifying physicians that the use of acetaminophen — commonly known as Tylenol — during pregnancy can be associated with a risk of increase of autism,” Trump said. “For this reason, they are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy.”

“Taking Tylenol is not good,” said Trump, who emphasized, “I’ll say it. It’s not good.”

Kennedy, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), expanded on the President’s comments. 

“To meet the president’s challenge, I ordered HHS to launch an unprecedented, all-agency effort to identify all causes of autism, including toxic and pharmaceutical exposures,” Kennedy said. 

“At President Trump’s urging, NIH (the National Institute of Health), FDA (the Food and Drug Administration), the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), and CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) are turning over every stone to identify the (causes) of the autism epidemic and how patients and parents can prevent and reverse this alarming trend,” Kennedy said.

Tucker Carlson delivered a Christ-centered speech at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Arizona on Sunday, receiving thunderous applause after encouraging the crowd to listen to the assassinated Turning Point USA founder’s message of faith.

The conservative commentator took to the stage at State Farm Stadium in Glendale in front of tens of thousands of people to shift their focus to Kirk’s “Christian Evangelist” beliefs:

“This is the most unbelievable thing I think I’ve ever seen,” Carlson began, referring to the enormous, lively audience. “Whatever happens next in America — I hope it’s in this direction, because God is here, and you can feel it. And Charlie would have loved this, not just because he loved large groups of people, but because ultimately, he was a Christian evangelist.”

Carlson then brought up how people conspired against Jesus in the Bible: 

It actually reminds me of my favorite story ever. So it’s about 2000 years ago in Jerusalem, and Jesus shows up, and he starts talking about the people in power and he starts doing the worst thing that you can do, which is telling the truth about people — and they hate it, and they just go bonkers. They hate it, and they become obsessed with making him stop. ‘This guy’s got to stop talking. We’ve got to shut this guy up.’ And I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about, ‘What do we do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking.’ And there’s always one guy with the bright idea, and I can just hear him say, ‘I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just kill him? That’ll shut him up, that’ll fix the problem.’

It doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t work that way. Everything is inverted, and the Beatitudes tell it, I think, the most crisply, that everything is sort of the opposite of what you think it’s going to be.

Following the central bank’s decision to cut rates for the first time since December 2024, the federal funds rate will sit at a new range of 4% to 4.25%. The cut comes after the Fed left rates unchanged at its first five meetings this year amid economic uncertainty.

Policymakers have been monitoring economic data which has shown a slowdown in hiring as businesses grapple with shifts in trade and immigration policy, while inflation has remained elevated and trended higher in recent months as tariff-related price hikes filter through into inflation data.

That dynamic has presented a challenge for policymakers in achieving both of the goals of the Fed’s dual mandate to promote maximum employment and stable prices in line with the Fed’s 2% inflation target.

“There is going to likely be a discussion about hepatitis B vaccine, very specifically trying to dislodge the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine and to push it later in life,” said Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “Apparently this is a priority of the secretary’s.”t meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, scheduled for Sept. 18-19.

In that time, the potentially fatal disease has been virtually eradicated among American children. Pediatricians warn that waiting four years for the vaccine opens the door to more children contracting the virus.

“Age 4 makes zero sense,” pediatrician Eric Ball said. “We recommend a universal approach to prevent those cases where a test might be incorrect or a mother might have unknowingly contracted hepatitis. It’s really the best way to keep our entire population healthy.”

Australian researchers have identified “a new kind of carbon-based material” allowing supercapacitors to store as much energy as lead-acid batteries while also performing better than conventional batteries at delivering power quickly.

According to a statement from the university on Tuesday, the results are “a major leap forward” for fast, powerful energy storage devices, and are now being commercialised by Ionic Industries.

The new material is named as multiscale reduced graphene oxide (M-rGO) and was created from naturally-occurring graphite. It is described as being made using a “rapid thermal annealing process” and featuring a “highly curved graphene structure with precise pathways for ions to move quickly and efficiently”.

The promising new material is detailed in a new paper in Nature Communications.

Transcript from RealClearPolitics:

BRET BAIER: Well tonight, in our Common Ground segment, a conversation on bringing the nation together, or trying to, to restore civility in politics. Joining me, Pennsylvania Senators Dave McCormick and John Fetterman. Pennsylvania, by the way, is one of only three states with a Democrat and Republican split in the U.S. Senate. Senators, thanks for being here. You all called me. Usually we reach out. You wanted to do this together. Why?

SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN (D-PA): Well, I mean, we thought it was just a great idea. I think it’s an important idea right now. I mean, the trauma after the Charlie Kirk assassination, and now, as things continue now, it’s like, I feel like it’s important that people can witness, you know, a Democrat and a Republican having a conversation after this. It’s absolutely horrific, and it’s entirely necessary to allow people to grieve for that. I mean, everyone’s seen the video.

SEN. DAVE MCCORMICK (R-PA): Yeah, it’s just the, the heartbreak, you feel for Charlie Kirk’s family, Eric and their children, and all the students across the country, the people across the country that were huge followers. And I think the Senator and I agreed that, and we, we do agree that there, there’s just no place in this country, for political violence. It, it’s absolutely something, it runs counter to the very idea of free, free speech and freedom, and that when you see, dangerous rhetoric, like fascist and Nazism and authoritarianism, that’s a, and, and the end of democracy, that’s a, that’s a permission. That takes us down a path where the inevitable next step is, is violence, and, and that’s what we see.

BRET BAIER: And Senator Fetterman, you’ve talked about that recently, calling somebody Hitler, calling somebody Nazis.

SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN (D-PA): Exactly, this idea, it’s like, do not ever, ever, ever compare anyone to Hitler. If not, go online and you can read up on exactly what he’s responsible for, you know, 75 to 80 million lives lost in World War II, and you don’t compare him to anyone. And if you do, then you will incite somebody to say, well, now I feel like I have to stop, to stop that and take them out.
