Verse-for-TODAY:
New International Version
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Read all of Romans 14 ►
The BEMA-Seat Judgement:
The Greek word bema (Strong’s G968) appears thirteen times in the King James New Testament. Eleven of those times it describes a raised platform of judgment by men, which does not apply to our subject. Two times it refers to the “judgement seat of Christ.” The word bema is derived from Greek games where a contestant would compete for a prize. The judge would watch the game and would award a prize to those who won the game according to the set rules.
The Apostle Paul admonishes us to run the race of our lives so that we may win a prize. (I Corinthians 9:24-27) Paul used the Greek word bema twice when mentioning the Judgment Seat of Christ. (Romans 14:10 and II Corinthians 5:10) The Judgment Seat of Christ is frequently called the “Bema Seat.” The judge of a Greek athletic event gave awards or prizes at the bema. He did not whip, beat or punish any contestants. And there is no punishment at the Judgment Seat of Christ! There can be an absence, or loss, of reward, but there is no punishment.
The “Bema Seat” is the Believer’s place of reward or loss, as it demonstrates the purity of our works. It is a time of rewards given or lost after evaluation, but it is not a time of punishment where Believers are shamed and judged for their sins. This would be inconsistent with the completed work of Jesus on the Cross. Jesus said, “It is finished.” (John 19:30) because He completely paid the penalty for our sins. And the memory of those sins has been removed “as far as the east is from the west.” (Psalm 103:12)
The Parable of the Talents found in Matthew 25:14-30 is a clear example of the principle of rewards. The “master,” a type of Jesus, left on a long journey. Before he left, he gave talents (money) to some of his servants. When he returned, those that used what was given them to an increase were rewarded. The servant who did not use his talent had it taken away and given to another.
“Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the Day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”
– I Corinthians 3:13-15
Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace. He provided a way that all sinners might be saved and spend eternity with Him. He provided a lamb; the Lamb of God. Praise Jesus and serve Him until the Day when we will stand before Him at the Bema Seat. And pray He will be able to say of us, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”

Doug Ford wins major court battle to strip Toronto of its main downtown bike lanes
Ontario’s Appeal Court rules removing Toronto’s downtown bike lanes is legal, overturning a previous Charter block.
In a victory for Premier Doug Ford, Ontario’s highest court has ruled that the removal of Toronto’s main downtown bike lanes does not violate Charter rights.
On Friday, the Court of Appeal overturned Superior Court Justice Paul Schabas’ ruling from July 2025 that found the Ford government’s efforts via legislation to get rid of bike lanes on Bloor, University and Yonge Streets was unconstitutional.
The earlier ruling was overturned by three Court of Appeal justices, who slammed Schabas for weighing in on the policy and politics of the bike lane legislation, instead of focusing on the legal arguments of the government and cycling advocates.
“We are governed by those whom we elect and they are accountable to the people for the choices they make, not to the courts,” Justice Grant Huscroft wrote in Friday’s Court of Appeal decision.
“Lest there be any doubt: in formulating policy or legislating, neither the government nor the legislature is under any obligation to accept policy advice, whether from bureaucrats, experts, or members of the public.”
The Ford government celebrated the court’s ruling, with Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria calling it a “victory for common sense and for respecting the appropriate division of roles between duly elected legislatures and the courts” in a statement.
“We’ve always been clear: bike lanes should go where they make sense, on secondary roads, not at the expense of vehicle lanes on our busiest streets,” he added.
What happens next for Toronto’s bike lanes?
Bike lane advocates still have the option of appealing to the Supreme Court of Canada, which Michael Longfield, executive director of the cycling group Cycle Toronto, did not rule out.
Longfield called the decision “disappointing,” but said his group still intends to fight the removal of bike lanes “to the fullest extent of the law.”
“It’s an unfortunate setback for evidence-based decision-making,” Longfield said.
A two-year battle over congestion and safety
For two years, the Ford government has attempted to rid Bloor, University and Yonge Streets of bike lanes, blaming them for the city’s congestion problems.
Ford and his transportation minister tried to remove them via legislation, but their efforts were ruled unconstitutional by Schabas in July last year. The successful constitutional challenge was brought forward by cycling advocates, including Cycle Toronto, which argued that the Ford government’s efforts to remove the three central bike lanes infringed on their Charter rights to life and security of person.
In his ruling, Schabas found that the Ford government’s legislation would have increased the risk of injury or death for cyclists, while rejecting the government’s argument that his decision would create the right to bike lanes.
The ruling only protected the three targeted bike lanes on Bloor, University and Yonge Streets.
Internal government documents and studies released as part of the initial court hearings on the Charter challenge warned that removing the bike lanes may not ease congestion, and instead could increase the risk of collisions and negatively affect businesses.

As the Charter challenge dragged on through the courts, the city of Toronto and the province sought various compromises.
In October, the province paid $750,000 to restore a lane of traffic while keeping the bike lane intact on a 500-metre stretch of Bloor Street West. That stretch of road, alongside another 400-metre stretch on Yonge Street, were identified as “priority removal sections” in government documents, obtained by the Star via a freedom of information request.
Mayor Olivia Chow repeatedly said that she was seeking a compromise with the province to keep Toronto’s central bike lanes intact.
The same legislation by the Ford government blocks municipalities from building new bike lanes when a lane of car traffic is removed, which has limited the city’s plans for expanding its cycling network over the next two years.

TRUMP:
Trump: Could Claim Hormuz as US Territory Behind Blockade
Michael Katz ✉
Michael Katz is a Newsmax reporter with more than 30 years of experience reporting and editing on news, culture, and politics.
President Donald Trump said Friday that the naval blockade on Iranian ports is going so well, he could soon claim the Strait of Hormuz as a U.S. territory.
He told Americans that higher gasoline prices are a small price to pay to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Speaking at the Nassau County Police Academy in Garden City, New York, Trump made the comments while discussing his administration's efforts to lower prices before turning to the conflict with Iran.
His comments aired live on Newsmax and the free Newsmax2 streaming platform.
"After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated, pretty soon I'll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States," Trump said. "Essentially, that's what we have."
He added that the reason is "the blockade. No ships get through unless we want them to."
Trump had made a similar claim Wednesday, writing on Truth Social that the U.S. had "total control" of Hormuz, adding, "I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT!"
Iran has rejected Trump's assertions, maintaining that the strategic waterway remains under Tehran's control.
The strait, connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman, is one of the world's most important energy corridors.
Tensions there remained high Friday after the United Arab Emirates accused Iran of attacking two vessels operated by state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, or ADNOC, as they transited the waterway. No injuries were reported.
Trump said Friday that military action against Iran had disrupted what had been progress in bringing down prices at home.
"We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon," Trump said, recalling telling members of his administration that America had to "make a little journey to the Middle East because we have to put out a potential disaster."
Trump then directly addressed Americans paying higher prices at the pump.
"For you to pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline, just remember you're doing it so that a very evil country cannot have" a nuclear weapon, Trump said, calling Iran "the No. 1 state sponsor of terror in the world."
He added, "So remember that when you have to pay a little bit more, you're at $4. It's OK. I mean, I'll never apologize. I did the right thing."
Trump said the military campaign was "a great service for the world, not only for ourselves."
He noted that "the blockade is unstoppable. The blockade is a wall of steel."

GLOBAL:
DISTURBING! Islamic Foot-Washing Stations Are Coming To…
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the central hub for American Airlines and one of the busiest travel hubs in the world, is moving forward with a plan to install dedicated Islamic foot washing stations, known as wudu or ablution stations, inside Terminal D restrooms. The project has already sparked debate among travelers and taxpayers alike, even though the funding is coming from private sources rather than public money.
According to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the privately funded project carries an estimated cost of three hundred thousand dollars. Construction is slated to begin August 31 and wrap up by December 31, adding one men’s ablution station and one women’s ablution station to existing concourse-level restrooms in Terminal D, the terminal primarily used for international flights.
Wudu is a ritual washing practice required before Islamic prayer, involving the washing of hands, mouth, nose, face, arms, and feet. Traditional airport restrooms were not designed with this ritual in mind, and airport officials say the goal of the new stations is largely practical, preventing travelers from washing their feet in conventional sinks, which can leave floors wet, slippery, and damage bathroom counters over time.
DFW spokesperson Heath Montgomery told reporters that the airport has actually offered an ablution station on the post-security side of its international terminal for years without incident. The current proposal under evaluation would expand that existing service to an additional set of restrooms on the pre-security side of the same terminal, though Montgomery was careful to note the plan remains in the evaluation phase and has not been formally approved.
DFW would not be breaking new ground nationally. Similar wudu stations already exist at other major American airports, including Chicago O’Hare, Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental, Indianapolis, Orlando, Seattle, and San Francisco. Supporters of the project argue that accommodating international travelers of various faiths is simply part of operating a modern global travel hub.
DFW has also maintained interfaith chapels in each of its five terminals for years, open to travelers of any faith who wish to pray or reflect during layovers. Two ablution stations were previously added to the Interfaith Chapel in Terminal D back in 2019 as part of broader renovations that also included expanded space for religious texts, dedicated shelving for shoe storage, and kneelers for prayer.
Even so, the announcement has generated significant pushback online, with many commentators questioning why an American airport is spending resources, private or otherwise, to specifically accommodate one religion’s ritual practices while other faiths receive no comparable infrastructure. Social media reaction has ranged from mockery to genuine concern about what critics describe as a broader trend of Western institutions bending over backwards to accommodate Islamic religious practice.
A spokesperson identified as Fournier defended the project in comments to Fox News Digital, framing it purely as a matter of safety and plumbing rather than religious accommodation. He explained that people washing their feet in standard bathroom sinks creates soaked, slippery floors and damages counters, and that low profile wudu basins are simply a practical solution that keeps restrooms dry and safe for all travelers, not just Muslim passengers.
Fournier also pointed to precedent at other major hubs, noting that airports like Chicago O’Hare and Indianapolis have offered similar facilities alongside interfaith rooms for years to handle heavy international passenger traffic in a clean and orderly fashion. He characterized the entire project as being about preventing people from slipping on wet tiles, plain and simple, rather than any kind of special religious favoritism.
Critics remain unconvinced by that framing, arguing that regardless of the practical justification, the optics of a major American airport building religious specific infrastructure for one faith send an unmistakable signal about which cultural accommodations are prioritized in modern America. Some have pointed to the timing, coming amid heightened national debate over immigration, border security, and the assimilation of newcomers into American civic life.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s office has been contacted for comment but has not yet issued a formal statement on the project as of this writing. Fox News Digital also reached out to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for further comment on the regulatory filing that first brought the project to public attention.
Terminal D, where the new stations will be installed, primarily serves international flights, meaning the airport is likely betting that demand from international Muslim travelers connecting through Dallas justifies the investment. DFW has increasingly positioned itself as a global gateway hub as part of its multibillion dollar DFW Forward infrastructure overhaul, which also recently delivered new Terminal C gates operated by American Airlines.
Assistant Vice President of Communications Katie Chaumont confirmed that airport officials are indeed considering the expansion for the pre security side of the international terminal, adding further detail to what had initially been a relatively quiet regulatory filing before conservative media outlets picked up the story and it went viral online.
The debate over the wudu stations fits into a broader and long running conservative critique of what many describe as creeping accommodation of Islamic religious practice within American public and quasi public infrastructure, from prayer rooms in universities to modified dress codes in certain workplaces. Supporters of that critique argue that no other religious group receives comparable dedicated infrastructure investment at taxpayer adjacent facilities like major airports.

Woman faces two felony charges for defacing World War II Memorial with graffiti and soap
By
Federal prosecutors charged Melissa L. Farris with two felonies after she allegedly spray-painted a message on the World War II Memorial and poured bubble soap into its fountain, the latest in a string of attacks on Washington's most revered monuments.
DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced the charges Friday, moving swiftly after the vandalism was discovered Thursday afternoon at the memorial on the eastern end of the Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool. Farris was in federal custody by Friday morning, the New York Post reported, facing two counts that each carry up to ten years in prison: depredation against property of the United States, and destruction of veterans' memorials.
The memorial, a granite tribute to the more than 400,000 Americans who died in the Second World War, was cordoned off with crime scene tape Thursday after photos surfaced showing the words "Clean Hands Dirty $" scrawled in red graffiti across the stone edifice. Bubble soap had been dumped into the fountain, raising concerns about damage to the mechanical pumps that keep the water feature running.
Pirro invoked her own family's service in announcing the charges
Pirro, the former Fox News host and one-time Westchester County district attorney now serving as DC's top federal prosecutor, posted about the charges on X. Her statement was personal.
Pirro wrote on the platform:
"Vandalizing our World War II Memorial is a despicable attack on a sacred monument honoring the Americans who fought and died for our freedom. Those Americans include my father and grandfather."
An Interior Department spokesperson echoed the urgency, vowing that US Park Police would "find the person responsible for this disgusting act." The spokesperson added in a separate statement that the memorial "is a sacred place to honor the service of our members of the Armed Forces and the over 400,000 Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice in WWII. The vandalism that occurred is an utter disgrace and will not be tolerated."
Authorities moved fast. Farris was caught on camera and taken into custody before the charges were formally announced. The speed stood in contrast to another recent monument attack: vandals used chemicals to burn the numbers "86 47" into the grass near the Washington Monument, and no charges had been filed in that case as of the time the memorial vandalism was reported.
Trump responded before charges dropped, calling the act an insult to fallen heroes
President Trump weighed in on Truth Social earlier Friday, before Pirro's announcement. His post tied the memorial attack to the broader pattern of damage along the National Mall:
"Our beautiful World War II Memorial was just hit by Spray Painting Vandals. THERE CAN BE NO GREATER INSULT TO THOSE AMERICAN HEROES WHO DIED IN WORLD WAR II. First the Reflecting Pool, now this. We are on their trail! Where do these animals come from???"
The reference to the Reflecting Pool pointed to a separate, politically charged episode. In June, authorities charged David Hearn, a 67-year-old former Olympic canoeist, with one felony count of destruction of property after he allegedly yanked at a flapping piece of the Reflecting Pool liner. That case became a flashpoint after Interior Department evidence showed the sealant damage was actually caused by flawed installation by the contractor, not by Hearn.
Pirro moved to dismiss the Hearn charges just thirteen days before the World War II Memorial vandalism. The decision drew public criticism from Trump himself.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office earlier in August, Trump did not hold back. He called the judge in the Hearn case "really vicious" and said Pirro had buckled under pressure.
"I was disappointed in Jeanine Pirro. Really disappointed in Jeanine Pirro. She folded like an umbrella."
A $3 million renovation finished just weeks before the attack
The timing of the vandalism added an extra layer of frustration. The World War II Memorial had just completed a $3 million, four-month renovation in May, according to the Washington Examiner. That means Farris allegedly defaced a freshly restored national landmark, one that taxpayers had just spent millions to preserve.
The Reflecting Pool itself underwent a separate, costly renovation, with a Virginia-based contractor called Atlantic Industrial Coatings receiving more than $14 million from the Interior Department to paint the pool's 68,000-square-foot bottom. That work began in early May. The Hearn incident raised questions about the quality of that contract work, questions the Interior Department's own evidence ultimately confirmed when it showed the liner damage stemmed from the contractor's installation, not from a passerby.
Hearn's indictment and its subsequent collapse left a mark on Pirro's credibility with the White House. The Farris case, by contrast, appears far more straightforward: camera footage, a suspect in custody within a day, and two felony charges filed without delay.
DC monuments have become repeat targets with uneven consequences
The World War II Memorial vandalism is not an isolated act. It fits a pattern of attacks on Washington's national monuments that has drawn increasing attention from the administration. The chemical burning of "86 47" into the Washington Monument lawn remains unsolved. The Reflecting Pool liner incident ended in dropped charges and a public rift between the president and his own US attorney.
The administration has signaled that monument protection is a priority. Trump's DC crime task force has made thousands of arrests in the capital, and the swift handling of the Farris case suggests prosecutors are eager to show they take these offenses seriously, especially after the Hearn embarrassment.
Still, open questions remain. Authorities have not disclosed how Farris was identified beyond the camera footage, whether she has legal representation, or whether she has entered a plea. The meaning of the spray-painted message, "Clean Hands Dirty $", has not been explained by any official source. No organization or cause has been publicly linked to Farris.
And the vandalism itself raises a practical concern beyond the symbolism: bubble soap in a memorial fountain can damage mechanical pumps and filtration systems, potentially adding repair costs on top of a renovation that just wrapped up weeks earlier.
Memorials exist because a nation decided some things are worth remembering. When the people charged with protecting them move fast and hold offenders accountable, the system works the way it should. When they don't, the message to the next vandal is that nobody is really watching.

Judicial Watch Sues FBI for Fauci Cell Phone Records
The American people should not have to guess about what happened during the Covid pandemic. They deserve access to the government records that may help explain how critical decisions were made and how federal officials exercised their authority.
We filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for the contents of Anthony Fauci’s government-issued cell phones. The phones were provided to former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Fauci and later reportedly recovered by the FBI (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:26-cv-02812)).
We sued after the FBI failed to comply with a June 2025 FOIA request for:
All contents obtained from the government-issued cell phones of former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci, which were reportedly recovered by the FBI, as disclosed to podcaster Joe Rogan by FBI Director Kash Patel in the following interview: https://x.com/KyleSeraphin/status/1931056010313322693
The FBI claimed in October 2025 that the requested records were located in an investigative file exempt from disclosure under FOIA law enforcement exemption 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A).
Patel publicly disclosed that the FBI had recovered phones and other devices that Fauci used during the first Trump administration.
“We just had a great breakthrough this week on Fauci,” Patel told Joe Rogan during a June 2025 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Patel said investigators had been looking for phones and devices Fauci used during the first Trump administration and that “nobody had found it until two days ago.”
Patel cautioned that the devices might not contain everything investigators were seeking, saying, “Maybe it’s deleted, maybe it’s not,” but added that the FBI had found the devices and that the search was “of public importance.”
The FBI’s refusal to release the records comes as congressional scrutiny of Fauci and the federal government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic intensifies.
On July 29, 2026, Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee under subpoena. During the hearing, chaired by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times.
On August 6, 2026, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) transferred a copy of Fauci’s government-issued iPhone to the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).
Also on August 6, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted 8-5 to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress over his refusal to answer questions about his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and his past testimony to Congress regarding U.S.-funded “gain-of-function” research. The resolution directs Vice President JD Vance, in his capacity as president of the Senate, to certify the contempt report to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro for potential prosecution.
Americans have a right to know what the FBI recovered from Fauci’s government-issued phones and what those records reveal about his official activities during the Covid pandemic.
Our FOIA lawsuits and investigations have uncovered much of what the public knows about many Covid-19 controversies:
In May 2026, we filed a post-hearing brief in a FOIA lawsuit on behalf of Open the Books, urging a federal court to compel the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to release unredacted records showing royalty-related payments to government scientists, including Fauci.
In April 2026, we sued the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for records and communications of its employees with other government officials regarding coronaviruses, the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), and related Covid-19 research.
In March 2026, we sued the U.S. Department of Defense (War Department) for records on funding proposals submitted to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office prior to the Covid-19 outbreak. The Biological Technologies Office was launched in 2014.
In June 2025, we sued the Defense Department for all records regarding U.S. military personnel possibly contracting Covid-19 in October 2019 during the World Military Games in Wuhan, China. The lawsuit cited a December 2022 report issued by the Pentagon titled “Report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives: 2019 World Military Games” which states that seven “service members who attended the games exhibited Covid-19-like signs and/or symptoms” during the time surrounding their attendance at the games.
In May 2025, we received records from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that revealed its plans to mandate Covid-19 vaccinations for 17 million health care employees and that only one of 4,682 claims for injuries and deaths due to Covid-19 “countermeasures” at the time was compensated.
Records uncovered in 2024 from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through a FOIA request showed an April 2020 email exchange with several officials in the bureau’s Newark Field Office referring to a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China as including “gain-of-function research” which “would leave no signature of purposeful human manipulation.”
Records from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed that a Pfizer study surveyed 23 people in 2021 to gauge reactions to its Covid vaccine booster before asking the FDA to approve it.
Records from the Health and Human Services included the initial grant application and annual reports to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from EcoHealth Alliance, describing the aim of its work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology to create mutant viruses “to better predict the capacity of our CoVs [coronaviruses] to infect people.”
Health and Human Services records included emails of then-Director of the National Institutes of Health Francis Collins showing a British physicians’ group recommended the use of Ivermectin to prevent and treat Covid-19.
Records from Health and Human Services regarding data Moderna submitted to the Food and Drug Administration on its mRNA Covid-19 vaccine indicated a “statistically significant” number of rats were born with skeletal deformations after their mothers were injected with the vaccine. The documents also revealed Moderna elected not to conduct a number of standard pharmacological studies on the laboratory test animals.
Food and Drug Administration records detailed pressure for Covid-19 vaccine booster approval and use.
National Institutes of Health records revealed an FBI “inquiry” into the NIH’s controversial bat coronavirus grant tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The records also show National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) officials were concerned about “gain-of-function” research in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2016. The Fauci agency was also concerned about EcoHealth Alliance’s lack of compliance with reporting rules and use of gain-of-function research in the NIH-funded research involving bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China.
Health and Human Services records revealed that from 2014 to 2019, $826,277 was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research by the NIAID.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases records showed that it gave nine China-related grants to EcoHealth Alliance to research coronavirus emergence in bats and was the National Institutes of Health’s top issuer of grants to the Wuhan lab itself. The records also included an email from the vice director of the Wuhan Lab asking an NIH official for help finding disinfectants for decontamination of airtight suits and indoor surfaces.
Health and Human Services records included an “urgent for Dr. Fauci” email chain, citing ties between the Wuhan lab and the taxpayer-funded EcoHealth Alliance. The government emails also reported that the foundation of U.S. billionaire Bill Gates worked closely with the Chinese government to pave the way for Chinese-produced medications to be sold outside China and help “raise China’s voice of governance by placing representatives from China on important international councils as high level commitment from China.”
Health and Human Services records included a grant application for research involving the coronavirus that appeared to describe “gain-of-function” research involving RNA extractions from bats, experiments on viruses, attempts to develop a chimeric virus and efforts to genetically manipulate the full-length bat SARSr-CoV WIV1 strain molecular clone.
Health and Human Services records showed the State Department and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases knew immediately in January 2020 that China was withholding Covid-19 data, which was hindering risk assessment and response by public health officials.
University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) records showed the former director of the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Dr. James W. Le Duc warned Chinese researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology of potential investigations into the Covid issue by Congress.
Health and Human Services records regarding biodistribution studies and related data for the Covid-19 vaccines showed a key component of the vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), were found outside the injection site, mainly the liver, adrenal glands, spleen and ovaries of test animals, eight to 48 hours after injection.
Records from the Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) revealed safety lapses and violations at U.S. biosafety laboratories that conduct research on dangerous agents and toxins.
Health and Human Services records included emails between National Institutes of Health (NIH) then-Director Francis Collins and Fauci, the director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, about hydroxychloroquine and Covid-19.
Health and Human Services records showed that National Institutes of Health officials tailored confidentiality forms to China’s terms and that the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted an unreleased, “strictly confidential” Covid-19 epidemiological analysis in January 2020.
Fauci emails included his approval of a press release supportive of China’s response to the 2019 novel coronavirus.
Unlawful Foreign Truckers Tied to More than 30 Fatal Crashes
Foreign nationals who were unlawfully issued commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) by states that have weakened federal safety standards are putting lives at risk. Our Corruption Chronicles blog reports on the deadly result.
Foreign nationals unlawfully issued a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in states run by open border officials killed more than 30 Americans in 17 fatal crashes last year alone, a disturbing new investigation reveals. Among the victims of the senseless highway carnage is a 5-year-old girl in California, who was critically injured and left with lifelong disabilities after an illegal immigrant crashed an 18-wheeler into her family’s vehicle. The Golden State leads the pack of offenders, issuing over 128,000 non-domiciled CDLs between 2022 and 2025 and allowing applicants to be tested in Arabic, Chinese, Punjabi, Russian and Spanish with pass rates as low as 22% for Arabic speakers and 26% for Punjabi speakers compared with 63% for English.
Leftist politicians and bureaucrats in states like California have systematically undermined federal CDL standards, a critical public safety tool, to license foreign nationals who frequently lack English proficiency and valid immigration status to operate 80,000-pound big rigs on highways throughout the U.S. The consequences have been deadly, according to a probe conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a Washington D.C. nonprofit dedicated to studying immigration issues. The group used targeted research, public records requests and litigation as well as analysis of state Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) data to conduct its investigation.
The alarming findings are available in a recently published report, appropriately titled “License to Kill: Uncovering the Anti-Borders Takeover of the National CDL Program.” Uniform CDL standards have been deliberately eroded producing a cascade of preventable tragedies on American highways, the FAIR probe found. “State agencies charged with implementing minimum safety rules have instead chosen to ignore, dilute, or outright nullify them,” the report states.
It all started years ago thanks to a dangerous Obama-era policy dismissing longstanding Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) English-language proficiency standards that placed noncompliant drivers out of service. Last year the Trump administration reversed Obama’s egregious policy, essentially restoring the original federal rules forcing truck drivers to comply with established FMCSA English-language proficiency (ELP) requirements or be placed out-of-service. Adding to the problem is the fact that many Mexican truck drivers who consistently deliver loads north of the border do not speak English and cannot read American highway signs, endangering public safety across the country.
Nearly 6 million trucks crossed from Mexico into the U.S. last year, according to government figures, and though federal regulations require drivers to sufficiently read and speak English and understand highway traffic signs the Obama administration relaxed those rules in 2016 and directed inspectors not to penalize Mexican drivers. “Americans are a lot safer on roads alongside truckers who can understand and interpret our traffic signs,” Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said when he reinstated federal safety rules waived years ago.
FAIR’s probe offers a slew of cases nationwide that clearly illustrate the detriments of failing to enforce commercial trucker laws. Examples include the illegal immigrant from India who critically injured the 5-year-old girl in California after slamming his 18-wheeler into multiple vehicles. He had a CDL from California despite his unlawful status in the country. A Kyrgyzstani national who killed four people after slamming his big rig head-on into a passenger van on State Route 67 in Indiana got his CDL in Pennsylvania after entering the U.S. via Biden’s disastrous CBP One app.
A Chinese illegal alien who caused a deadly multi-vehicle pile-up on a Tennessee highway obtained a CDL from New York even though he rear-ended a tractor-trailer while distracted by a video on his phone as a tour bus operator. A criminal illegal immigrant from India with a California-issued CDL made a prohibited U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike blocking all northbound lanes with his semi-truck causing a minivan traveling behind him to slam into the trailer killing three people. The list goes on and on. “The common threads in these cases are unmistakable,” FAIR writes. “In nearly every situation, the driver held a non-domiciled or improperly issued CDL from a non-compliant state. English proficiency requirements were routinely bypassed or ignored. Prior violations were overlooked.”

The Device in your kid's backpack might be the most dangerous thing they touch all day
What if the most dangerous thing your child touches this fall isn't in the schoolyard, but sitting in their backpack?
The Chromebook or iPad your school just handed them is not the neutral learning tool you were promised. On school-issued devices, during class time, kids have been reaching pornography, step-by-step drug recipes, and AI chatbots that coach self-harm.
Internet Safety Labs found that 96% of classroom technology products sell student data. One AI tutor marketed to kids handed over a precise gram-by-gram fentanyl recipe while bragging it was helping 31,000 other students.
And that's before I tell you what one family discovered had been flagged and left unreported on their child's "world-class" monitored device.
The good news? Parents aren't powerless.
The organization Protect Young Eyes has mapped out six specific questions to ask your principal and IT lead before any device comes home with your child. I walk you through each one in my report.
Sweden led the world in digitizing classrooms, then reversed course in 2023 when test scores tanked. Its top research institute now says the evidence shows that these tools impair learning rather than help it.
It isn't anti-technology to refuse to outsource your child's safety to an industry that puts engagement and data ahead of your child's wellbeing. Especially when so many tech executives quietly choose screen-free schools for their own kids.
Yours truly,
Tamara UgoliniRebel News
P.S. These devices are already in the classroom. If you don't ask the right questions, no one will. Watch my report, get up to speed, and share this with every parent group you're in.

Chair of Build Canada Homes hates home ownership?
Carney has tapped Evan Siddall to be the inaugural chair of Build Canada Homes, someone who has stated that he’s wary as to why Canadians have “glorified this idea of homeownership”
While serving as the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s CEO, Siddall also spent $250,000 to study proposals to implement a home equity tax, a levy that would have taken major shares of proceeds when families sell their homes, leaving them with less to buy a new home or provide for retirement.

Alberta vote
It appears that Alberta's future will be determined by which age group gets out to vote. 35+ has enough momentum to separate. But if the under 35's turn out, they could kill the idea.
