Thought for today:
HOW THE APOSTLES DIED. 1. Matthew Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, Killed by a sword wound. 2. Mark Died in Alexandria, Egypt , after being dragged by Horses through the streets until he was dead. 3. Luke Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous Preaching to the lost. 4. John Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge Basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution In Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered From death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison Island of Patmos. He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve As Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully 5. Peter He was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross. According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die In the same way that Jesus Christ had died. 6. James The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club. * This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation. 7. James the Son of Zebedee, was a fisherman by trade when Jesus Called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer Walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and Knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian. 8. Bartholomew Also known as Nathaniel Was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip. 9. Andrew Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: 'I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.' He continued to preach to his tormentors For two days until he expired. 10. Thomas Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Sub-continent. 11. Jude Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. 12. Matthias The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded. 13. Paul Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational Doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament.
Think about this...
Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles and disciples during their times For the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Yet we forward the nasty ones?
> Why are Prayers getting smaller,
But bars and clubs are expanding

Rumors continue to swirl over potential Michelle Obama presidential run:
https://americandigest.com/rumors-continue-to-swirl-over-potential-michelle-obama-presidential-run/?
Now that prominent Democrats are among those publicly voicing concerns about President Joe Biden's advanced age and mental acuity, speculation is growing about who might enter the fray in an effort to salvage the party's 2024 electoral chances, and according to some, former first lady Michelle Obama may be just the solution the left needs, as Breitbart reports.
Though the subject of Biden's cognitive decline had long been considered taboo among liberal elites, notable figures such as Washington Post columnist David Ignatius have finally stepped forward to state what so many have apparently been thinking.
As The Hill explained, Ignatius – a longtime Biden supporter – recently penned a column in which he called upon the president as well as Vice President Kamala Harris to step aside in favor of a candidate with a stronger likelihood of winning in the next cycle.
Speaking of Biden's record, Ignatius said, “In sum, he has been a successful and effective president. But I don't think Biden and Vice President Harris should run for reelection. It's painful to say that, given my admiration for much of what they have accomplished. But if he and Harris campaign together in 2024, I think Biden risks undoing his greatest achievement – which was stopping [former President Donald] Trump."
Perhaps in reaction to Ignatius' apparent defection from the Biden camp, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) entered the discussion surrounding the issue during the Monday installment of his podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz, and revealed he name of the person he believes Democrats want to see at the top of their ticket.
Beginning by weighing in on the mounting challenges facing Biden and their apparent recognition by Democrat Party elites, Cruz said, “They're looking at polling numbers that show two-thirds of Americans think he's too old to be president.”
“They're getting nervous about all of the evidence of Biden corruption – you've got Hunter being indicted, you've got all the connections to Joe, and then what we've seen in recent weeks is the media turning on them,” in a possible reference to Ignatius' declaration.
The senator went on, “And remember the role of the media. Sadly, they're no longer journalists; they no longer report news. They are the left wing of the Democrat Party, and when the media turns on the presumed Democrat nominee, I think that is the cutting edge of the Democrat intelligentsia saying we may have to cut bait and find someone new.”
Cruz added his belief that if, by the time the Democrats' nominating convention takes place, it has become even more obvious that Biden's “mental diminishment” has worsened, party leaders will move forward to anoint a replacement.
“The Democrat kingmakers [will] then jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama,” the lawmaker opined.
Continuing with his hypothesis, Cruz said, “This is the Obamas saving the day” and added that former President Barack Obama is effectively “already running the Biden administration,” making his wife's prospective ascension to the Oval Office all the more natural.
Cruz is by no means the only high-profile commentator to suggest that Michelle Obama may be the Democrats' saving grace in 2024, with longtime insiders Douglas Schoen and Andrew Stein stating that Mrs. Obama was the strongest candidate – “by far” – to take up the liberal mantle.
Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA agreed with their assessment of the former first lady's potential as a candidate, observing that she “polls well and can replace Kamala [Harris] without anyone calling it racist.”
Conservative radio personality Dan Bongino has also offered his two cents on the topic, saying, “[t]hey’re sending out smoke signals basically to the Obama family. They know Sleepy Joe is in big trouble.” Whether the former first lady is remotely interested in undertaking the challenge of a campaign and then the presidency itself, should she prevail, only time will tell.

Win or Lose Ukraine?
Without aid, Kiev cannot fight Russia, the visiting president reportedly stated during a meeting with lawmakers.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has pegged his nation’s continued fight against Russia to sustained US military assistance, according to US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“There was a single sentence that summed it all up, and I am quoting him verbatim. Mr. Zelensky said: ‘If we don’t get the aid, we will lose the war,’” the lawmaker told journalists after meeting Zelensky on Capitol Hill on Thursday.
The Biden administration has requested an additional $24 billion in spending for Ukraine, but this proposal faces resistance from Republican lawmakers. A group of over two dozen GOP senators and representatives sent a letter to the White House on Thursday, expressing concerns about the allocation of funds and seeking clarification on the progress of the counteroffensive.
“The American people deserve to know what their money has gone to. How is the counteroffensive going?” the letter read.
Are the Ukrainians any closer to victory than they were 6 months ago? What is our strategy, and what is the president’s exit plan? What does the administration define as victory in Ukraine?
The message was penned after Biden officials briefed Congress behind closed doors on Wednesday evening about their plans for Ukraine. Senator Josh Hawley, a skeptic of the White House’s policy, said the executive branch wanted indefinite funding with no clear path to a Ukrainian victory.
“What was it, $24 billion? That is not the end, they made it very clear. It’s not close to the end,” he said of the briefing. “What we were basically told is ‘Buckle up and get out your checkbook.’”
While bipartisan support for funding the Ukraine war remains intact, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has faced resistance within his party, according to US media. He opted for a private meeting with Zelensky during his visit to Washington, D.C., instead of convening a formal House session.
During its summer ongoing counteroffensive, the Ukrainian military has encountered strong Russian resistance and suffered significant losses in manpower and weaponry, resulting in a failure to make substantial territorial gains. Both the Zelensky government and the White House have shifted their messaging to emphasize slow but steady progress in the long term.

Disney boss Bob Iger says the company will 'quiet the noise' from culture war controversies - as it remains in legal spat with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis after it waded into 'Don't Say Gay' law
· Disney CEO Bob Iger shared the company will pivot away from culture issues.
· The company filed an amended freedom of speech lawsuit against DeSantis.
Good News About Disney
Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed the company will 'quiet the noise' around cultural issues because it has shown to be bad for business - as the company remains locked in a legal spat with Ron DeSantis.
Iger's comments at an investor meeting are the latest update in the ongoing saga between Disney and DeSantis after the company protested Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill which bans sexual and gender curricula for public-school students.
Disney had threatened to pull back its $17 billion investment in the sunshine state unless DeSantis stopped his political attacks on the company.
But a recent SEC filing shows they will spend $60 million over the next 10 years on its parks and cruise lines - and Walt Disney World in Orlando is expected to be at the forefront of the investment.
A report from Needham investment analyst Laura Martin on the investor meeting showed that Iger wants to make content that is entertaining, not issue-focused - after The House of Mouse faced backlash over pushing a 'woke agenda'.

Trump Gets Last Laugh on Dem Sen. Menendez After His Indictment:
On Friday, Senator Bob Menendez, a Democratic representative from New Jersey, was indicted on charges involving global corruption. This development comes after Senator Menendez had previously made allegations about former President Donald Trump, asserting that he was “compromised” by the Russian government.
From the Senate floor in February 2019, Menendez expressed “Over the last two years, many of us have grappled with a very difficult question about our President. It’s a question that never before could we even imagine thinking about an American president, let alone saying aloud on the floor of the Senate.”
“I’m talking about the entirely legitimate question of whether Donald Trump could be compromised by the Russian government.”
Menendez further asserted, “It’s more than a legitimate question — it’s the natural question that comes to mind every time we learn more about the links between President Trump, his associates, and the Russian government.”
Senator Menendez delivered an extensive address wherein he expounded upon the accusations levied against President Trump. Additionally, he expressed his concern on the potential presence of corruption, which he said “keeps me up at night.”
On Friday, Senator Menendez was accused by federal authorities on charges of bribery. The allegations include that the senator and his spouse accepted bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, and a luxury vehicle in exchange for engaging in various corrupt activities. These activities include using his political clout in matters related to international affairs to assist the autocratic regime of Egypt.
According to prosecutors, a thorough examination of the residence belonging to the couple revealed the presence of $100,000 worth of gold bars and $480,000 in concealed cash. These allegations have been brought against the 69-year-old Democrat, approximately six years after a previous criminal case against him resulted in a hung jury.
“Federal agents said they discovered many of the items when they executed search warrants in the couple’s home in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, in June 2022. They found more than $480,000 in cash, “much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe,” including jackets bearing the senator’s name that were hanging in his closet, as well as more than $70,000 in Nadine Menendez’s safe deposit box, the indictment alleges.,” Fox News reported.
Agents also allegedly discovered a Mercedes-Benz convertible worth more than $60,000 that New Jersey businessmen Wael Hana and Jose Uribe gave to Menendez’s wife in exchange for the senator’s interference in a state prosecution of Uribe’s associate and investigation into an employee whom Uribe referred to as a relative. Federal agents also found gold bars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in the senator’s home that were provided by Hana and another businessman, Fred Daibes. All three businessmen were also charged in the indictment.
Menendez will step down as chair of the Foreign Relations Committee while the case proceeds, a source close to him said Friday. He dismissed the allegations against him in a statement, saying prosecutors have “misrepresented the normal work of a Congressional office.”
In a Friday press statement, Menendez expressed “For years, forces behind the scenes have repeatedly attempted to silence my voice and dig my political grave,” Menendez said Friday in a press release. “Since this investigation was leaked nearly a year ago, there has been an active smear campaign of anonymous sources and innuendos to create an air of impropriety where none exists.”
“To my supporters, friends and the community at large, I ask that you recall the other times the prosecutors got it wrong and that you reserve judgment. I am confident that this matter will be successfully resolved once all of the facts are presented and my fellow New Jerseyans will see this for what it is.”
In the month of April, Menendez initiated the establishment of a legal defense fund with the purpose of assisting in the financial coverage of substantial legal expenses incurred as a result of the federal criminal investigation.
As of this writing Trump has not released any statement or posted on social media regarding the indictment of the high-level Democrat.
On Wednesday, the impromptu arrival of Trump elicited enthusiastic expressions of support, as seen by the resounding chants of “We Love Trump” resonating within the premises of the Bettendorf Pub located in Iowa.
The ex-president is surpassing his Republican contenders and is positioned to commence the 2024 election season on a strong note.
Upon his arrival at the establishment, the ex-president was met with boisterous applause and an abundance of Trump 2024 flags.
Trump’s present at the pub initiated a collective vocalization of the phrases “USA, USA” and “we love Trump,” generating a heightened atmosphere and engendering a captivating display.
The event underwent a metamorphosis, assuming the character of a commemoration of national loyalty, as a result of the former president’s affable handshakes and exchanges with his fervent supporters.

Biden has never seen this kind of support.
[The REPUBLIC Brief News Media]
Trump Makes Surprise Election Announcement Supporters Did Not Expect:
At present, Donald Trump is exhibiting a prominent position in a multitude of GOP primary polls.
Despite significant challenges posed by indictments and other scandals, he is currently in a closely contested position with Joe Biden according to many general election surveys.
The ex-president is currently engaged in strategic efforts to secure the support of moderate and swing voters.
Trump has altered his position on the topic of abortion in order to garner favor among individuals with liberal political leanings while simultaneously expressing support for the ongoing strike organized by the United Automobile Workers (UAW) union.
If he were to emerge victorious in the 2024 election, he would be granted another four-year term to further pursue his policy objectives.
The achievement of this objective necessitates collaboration with Congress, which obstructed his efforts during his initial term for two years.
Certain proponents may hold the expectation that Trump will persist in his efforts to benefit the United States subsequent to a potential second term in office. President Trump has disclosed his prospective agenda for the period following his two-term tenure in the Oval Office.
According to a report from The Hill:
Former President Trump said in an interview airing Sunday that he would not seek a third term if he wins reelection, something that is barred by the Constitution.
“Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker asked Trump if there was “any scenario” in which he would seek a third term in office…
“No,” the former president said…
The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two four-year terms, a measure enacted after former President Franklin Roosevelt was elected to four terms.
In a recent interview, Trump expressed his intention to refrain from pursuing a third term in the event of a successful outcome in the 2024 Election. The ex-president highlighted that he need a time frame of “six months to a year” to successfully execute his proposed initiatives.
Of course, it’s most likely that Trump misunderstood the question and answered that he wouldn’t run for president again after his current campaign.
Trump asserted that individuals who require a duration of “eight years” to successfully complete their tasks are lacking the necessary qualifications for the position.
Since the time of George Washington, presidents have exclusively pursued re-election for a maximum of two terms. President Franklin Roosevelt defied the established norm by successfully running for and winning the presidential election on four separate occasions.
Following the conclusion of his 16 years of running the country, the nation expeditiously ratified a constitutional amendment to establish presidential term limits. Unless there is a significant amendment to our Constitution, it is quite unlikely that President Trump would initiate a political campaign subsequent to serving a second term.
Certain adversaries have cautioned the electorate about the temporal constraints faced by President Trump, emphasizing that he has a limited timeframe of four years to accomplish his objectives.
There have been suggestions positing that Trump’s accomplishments during his initial term have been nullified as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of President Biden’s policy objectives. Because, everything truly has gone to sh-t under the current president.
This week, in his speech in Dubuque, Iowa, Trump made a commitment to execute the most extensive domestic deportation operation in the history of the United States.
President Trump’s statements were made in response to reports indicating the presence of a significant number of migrants on exposed train carriages in Mexico, as they make their way towards the southern border of the United States.
“One of the most important issues in this campaign is ending the nation-wrecking catastrophe on our southern border,” as stated in Trump’s prepared speech.
According to his statement, “Under my leadership, we had the most secure border in US history.”
Trump went on, “Now, we have the worst border in the history of the world,” calling it an “invasion.”
The recent visit of the former president to Treehouse Pub in Iowa evoked memories of his previous visits during the 2024 presidential campaign.
During his brief visit to the Iowa State Fair, he received a rock star-like reception as he served pork chops to enthusiastic admirers and attracted a substantial crowd.
Trump experienced a warm reception while attending the Iowa-Iowa State football game, during which they had the opportunity to engage with fraternity members, converse with students, and were warmly welcomed by a considerable crowd upon their arrival at the stadium.

On Wednesday, President Trump addressed a substantial gathering of his fans in the little town of Maquoketa. According to Trump, “In less than four months from now, we’re going to win the Iowa caucuses in a historic landslide,” he told those in attendance.
The ex-president embarks on the initial leg of a series of five planned events, commencing with a much anticipated visit to Iowa. Although Trump made fewer visits compared to his Republican challengers, he is widely acclaimed as the preferred candidate by reputable pollsters.
In the 2016 Iowa Caucuses, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas emerged as the victor in a closely contested race, just surpassing his opponent, Donald Trump.
2024 was proclaimed by Trump to be the “final battle” against a number of forces afflicting the United States.

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices rip GOP Impeachment Effort:
Two former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices are criticizing the Republican House's effort to impeach a newly elected liberal justice.
Former Justices Louis Butler and Janine Geske spoke out against the effort to remove Justice Janet Protasiewicz in a column published Thursday.
The comments
"This is an unprecedented step of the speaker inserting himself into the judicial process," the former justices argued.
"While we were not invited to join this panel, we think it’s important to share our perspective on the questions surrounding impeachment and outline the reasons why it would not only be inappropriate, but unconstitutional," they added.
The issue
"Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) and other Republicans in the Badger State are considering impeaching Protasiewicz after the state Supreme Court was asked to consider two redistricting cases over the state’s legislative maps," the Hill reported.
"Republicans point to her comments when she was running for a vacant seat on the state Supreme Court earlier this year in which she called the state’s maps 'rigged' as well as her receiving nearly $10 million from the state Democratic Party," it added.
Other concerns
"The Wisconsin Ethics Commission is investigating new Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz's campaign for alleged money laundering and fraud. A complaint accuses the campaign of 'smurfing'--the illegal practice of laundering big money donations through unaware small-dollar donors," Newstalk 1130 reported.
"The total amount identified to date of illegally laundering money into Janet For Justice's campaign comes to $1,038,705.93," alleges the complaint, which was filed earlier this month by Election Watch.
"It appears individuals, or those being smurfed, are largely used to aggregate mostly less than the $200 reporting limit of individuals to avoid detection," it noted.
The former justices may believe impeachment is unwarranted but they are not the only voices that matter.
The latest concerns may add to popular opinion against the new justice that will fuel the effort to remove the justice in what could be a massive controversy headed into the 2024 election year that includes the more nationally known impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.

*** Myocarditis and COVID-19 Vaccines: How the CDC Missed a Safety Signal and Hid a Warning:
Selected Adverse Events Reported after COVID-19 Vaccination
COVID-19 vaccine recommendations have been updated as of September 12. The content on this page is no longer current and will be updated to align with the new recommendations. Learn more.
At the April 19, 2023 meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, CDC presented data related to further analyses of a preliminary safety signal for persons ages 65 years and older who received the updated (bivalent) Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in one safety monitoring system, the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD). Other safety monitoring systems have not observed similar findings. As time has passed and more safety data have accumulated, the initial finding has decreased, and scientists believe factors other than vaccination might have contributed to the initial finding. The current evidence does not support the existence of a safety issue. FDA and CDC will continue to evaluate data as they are available and update the public as needed.
Safety of COVID-19 Vaccines
Some people have no side effects. Many people have reported side effects—such as headache, fatigue, and soreness at the injection site—that are generally mild to moderate and go away within a few days.
What You Need to Know
· The benefits of COVID-19 vaccination continue to outweigh any potential risks.
· Severe reactions after COVID-19 vaccination are rare.
· CDC recommends everyone ages 6 months and older get vaccinated to protect against COVID-19 and its potentially severe complications.
· Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring program in U.S. history.
· CDC, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and other federal agencies continue to monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.
Anaphylaxis after COVID-19 Vaccination
Anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare. It has occurred at a rate of approximately 5 cases per one million vaccine doses administered. Anaphylaxis, a severe type of allergic reaction, can occur after any kind of vaccination. If it happens, healthcare providers can effectively and immediately treat the reaction. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
CDC scientists have conducted detailed reviews of cases of anaphylaxis and made the information available to healthcare providers and the public.
Scientific Publications about Anaphylaxis following COVID-19 Vaccination
Reports of Deaths after COVID-19 Vaccination
Multiple factors contribute to reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination, including heightened public awareness of COVID-19 vaccines, requirements under FDA authorization for COVID-19 vaccines that healthcare providers report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS (even if it is unclear whether the vaccine was the cause), and reporting requirements in CDC vaccine provider agreements. People receiving COVID-19 vaccines are less likely to die from COVID-19 and its complications and are at no greater risk of death from non-COVID causes, than unvaccinated people.
CDC scientists and partners have performed detailed assessments of deaths after COVID-19 vaccination and made the information available to healthcare providers and the public.
Scientific Publications about Death following COVID-19 Vaccination
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) after COVID-19 Vaccination
GBS is a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system damages nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. GBS has largely been observed among people ages 50 years and older.
Based on an analysis of data from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), the rate of GBS within the first 21 days following J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccination was found to be 21 times higher than after Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccination. After the first 42 days, the rate of GBS was 11 times higher following J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccination. The analysis found no increased risk of GBS after Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccination.
Similarly, CDC found higher than expected rates of GBS reported to VAERS after J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccination but not after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. These observations contributed to the preferential recommendation by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to use mRNA COVID-19 vaccines over the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, which is no longer available in the United States.
CDC and FDA will continue to monitor for and evaluate reports of GBS occurring after COVID-19 vaccination and will share more information as it becomes available.
Myocarditis and Pericarditis after COVID-19 Vaccination
Myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis is inflammation of the outer lining of the heart. Most patients with myocarditis or pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination responded well to medicine and rest and felt better quickly, and most cases have been reported after receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
To date, evidence indicates that the benefits of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the risk of myocarditis. CDC and FDA will continue to monitor for and evaluate reports of myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination. Learn more about myocarditis and pericarditis, including clinical considerations, after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
Data from VSD and from VAERS indicate that rates of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination are highest among males in their late teens and early 20s, usually following the second dose of the vaccine.
CDC scientists have conducted detailed reviews of cases of myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccines and have made the information available to healthcare providers and the public.
Scientific Publications about Myocarditis and Pericarditis following COVID-19 Vaccination
Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) after COVID-19 Vaccination
Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) has been rarely observed after J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccination and has occurred in approximately 4 cases per one million doses administered. TTS is a rare but serious adverse event that causes blood clots in large blood vessels and low platelets (blood cells that help form clots).
A review of reports indicates a causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine and TTS. This observation contributed to the preferential recommendation by ACIP to use mRNA COVID-19 vaccines over the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, which is no longer available in the United States.
CDC scientists have conducted detailed reviews of TTS cases and have made the information available to healthcare providers and the public.

Pope Francis pushed back against French President Emmanuel Macron and other leaders in Europe on Saturday, challenging them to open their ports to migrants. Francis went on to claim that the continent is not facing a migration "emergency."
The Associated Press reported that Francis does not believe there is a migrant crisis happening in Europe, but that there is a long-term reality that governments around the world have to deal with in a humane way. He continued by suggesting that all European countries should offer a legal path to citizenship.
Francis told Macron and several regional bishops that the Mediterranean Sea "cries out for justice, with its shores that on the one hand exude affluence, consumerism and waste, while on the other there is poverty and instability."
Despite Francis claiming there is no migrant crisis, the reality of what France has faced over the past several months seems to suggest otherwise. The Spectator reported in July that an Algerian woman who allegedly raped and murdered a 12-year-old should have been deported before the incident took place. A second report, from June, revealed that a self-described "Christian from Syria" allegedly went on a stabbing spree in France, leaving several young children in critical condition.

Francis' comments come after the French government has threatened to structure a naval blockade of Tunisia in an effort to step up repatriations, per the report. The government has also increased its patrols on the southern border to keep migrants in Italy from crossing over.
"May we let ourselves be moved by the stories of so many of our unfortunate brothers and sisters who have the right both to emigrate and not to emigrate, and not become closed in indifference," Francis said. "In the face of the terrible scourge of the exploitation of human beings, the solution is not to reject but to ensure, according to the possibilities of each, an ample number of legal and regular entrances."
Macron's government has taken a stronger stance on migration and national security issues after being criticized by conservatives in the country. The AP reported that elections for the European Union's parliament are approaching, and Macron has been reportedly advocating for the EU to bolster its external borders.
There were almost 7,000 migrants who arrived on the small Italian island of Lampedusa in just one day last week, temporarily outnumbering the population that lives there.
But it appears Francis is not convinced there is a problem, instead claiming that talk of migration "emergency" only increases "alarmist propaganda" and plays upon people's fears.
“Those who risk their lives at sea do not invade, they look for welcome, for life,” Francis said.
“As for the emergency, the phenomenon of migration is not so much a short-term urgency, always good for fueling alarmist propaganda, but a reality of our times, a process that involves three continents around the Mediterranean and that must be governed with wise foresight, including a European response capable of coping with the objective difficulties.”

Note:
Patrick & I disagree with this view. We believe that the French President Emmanuel Macron has legitimate concerns related to IMMIGRATION into Europe.

Trump Leaves Major Wake of Destruction With Big Explosion Overnight:
As a Colorado judge, on Friday, issued an order attempting to silence former President Trump from posting on social media about court proceedings, Trump has not been deterred. There is far more for the former president to post about than the legal attempts by the left to neutralize his 2024 bid for the White House.
The former president has much to say about political and media goings-on and was exercising his right to free speech Friday night as he posted on various topics.
This past week, SiriusXM radio host Howard Stern spoke out against Trump and not for the first time. As a far-left liberal counter-culture icon, Stern has been a Trump detractor for many years. Last year Stern repeated his often-spoken claim that he himself will run for president, but of course, has never actually done anything about that.
In response to recent criticisms that he is “no good anymore” because he is woke, Stern made a statement that included Trump. This week Stern stated “I’m anti-Trump, Pro-Vaccine, and support Transgender people…I am Woke, Motherf-er.”
Trump responded to Stern’s statements by posting in agreement with Stern’s critics:
At 1:57 a.m., Trump wrote on his Truth Social account:
The real Howard Stern is a weak, pathetic, and disloyal guy, who lost his friends and MUCH of his audience. Until just recently, I haven’t heard his name mentioned in years. I did his show many times in the good old days, and then he went Woke, and nobody cares about him any longer. I don’t know what they (really!) pay him, but it shouldn’t be much. His influence is gone, and without that, he’s got NOTHING – Just a broken weirdo, unattractive both inside and out, trying like hell to be relevant!
Straight and to the point.
Then at 2:31 a.m. Trump posted his version of events surrounding the UAW strike. Biden had written on Friday on Twitter that “Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create. It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.”
Trump responded to that statement with another Truth Social post:
Crooked Joe Biden had no intention of going to visit the United Autoworkers, until I announced that I would be heading to Michigan to be with them, & help then out. Actually, Crooked Joe sold them down the river with his ridiculous all Electric Car Hoax. This wasn’t Biden’s idea, he can’t put two sentences together. It was the idea of the Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, & Communists who control him and who, in so doing, are DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY! Within 3 years, all of these cars will be made in China. That’s what Sleepy Joe wants, because China pays him and his family a FORTUNE. He is a Manchurian Candidate. If the UAW “leadership” doesn’t ENDORSE me, and if I don’t win the Election, the Autoworkers are “toast,” with our great truckers to follow. Crooked Joe Biden is the most Corrupt and Incompetent President in the history of the USA. If he is able to gather the energy to show up, tell him to go to the Southern Border instead, & to leave the Car Industry alone!
It is ironic that any made-in-America industry would be behind Biden, who is clearly in China’s pocket as well as the pocket of other countries. Trump calls it as he sees it.
Earlier, Trump had posted:
“Why won’t Fox (Fox and Friends) show the National Poll that THEY just did? They refuse to put it up, even after spending all of that money. SHO THE POLL!!! If they don’t show it, I’ll put it up later!”
And,
“Monthly SW Border Encounters are UP 348% under Crooked Joe Biden as compared to TRUMP. DIsgraceful!”
Hard to argue with such a statement, as numbers don’t lie. Trump built a wall and worked with border states to control immigration and send back illegal entrants.
The Biden administration is accepting criminal entrants, who literally choose to enter illegally, with open arms.
U.S. Government information shows that in August, 2023, the Border Patrol encountered 181,059 illegal aliens between the various ports of entry along the southwest border of the United States. Total encounters were 232,972.
News reports of massive waves of South American, Central American, and even other individuals from as far away as the Caribbean island of Haiti are flowing toward the southern U.S. border. These waves are increasing the flow and indicating that the flow will steadily keep on increasing as the border remains open.
Hundreds of illegals cross the river and are accepted by the U.S. government and processed, even though a legal entry way is well within walking distance from where they attempt to cross.
The fentanyl crisis alone is reason enough to reinstate Trump’s policies.

Merrick Garland is shaking with rage after Jim Jordan makes this profound move, holding the FBI’s Feet to the FLAME!
Since its founding in 1908, the FBI has helped to make America safer by cracking down on organized crime, domestic terrorism, and other threats to the nation.
In recent years, the FBI has faced intense scrutiny after allegations have emerged of politically-charged investigations, as well as gross misconduct amongst its employees.
Now Merrick Garland is shaking with rage after Jim Jordan makes this profound move.
Jim Jordan and other House Republicans are holding the FBI’s feet to the fire.
The FBI is facing a public image crisis, the likes of which have not been seen in many years.
Due to some thorough investigation by the House Oversight and Judiciary Committee, it appears as if FBI agents have played active roles in censoring Americans, targeting Americans for their political opinions, as well as attacking Donald Trump and his allies, among other allegations. More specifically, leaked memos indicate that the FBI may have coordinated with social media platforms to silence voices hostile to the Joe Biden administration, which is a clear violation of the First Amendment. Congressman Jim Jordan announced that he subpoenaed FBI agent Elvis Chan regarding the ongoing investigation into the FBI’s alleged censorship of Americans online.
In a statement, Jordan wrote, “[T]he Committee has uncovered evidence that appears to contradict several statements in your deposition in Missouri v. Biden, particularly as they relate to your communications with social media platforms.” The case Jordan refers to, Missouri v. Biden, has the potential to go all the way up to the Supreme Court, in what could be a landmark ruling regarding the federal government’s ability to monitor communication on social media.
The states of Missouri and Louisiana sued the Joe Biden administration for their alleged role in online censorship, which was affirmed by federal judge Terry Doughty in Louisiana this past July 4th, when he issued an injunction forbidding the federal government from colluding with social platforms to censor Americans online.
In a move that has sparked much consternation among conservatives, that injunction was recently and temporarily stayed by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, in response to an emergency request by the Biden administration.
However, the move may be intended to allow the full Court to take up the case.
Joe Biden and his allies have shown blatant disregard for the First Amendment
If the allegations against the Joe Biden administration are true regarding their direct role in censoring Americans, then it demonstrates a blatant disregard for the First Amendment.
Never before has the federal government played such a direct role in censoring individual Americans, and if the Supreme Court rules against Joe Biden and his administration, then it could have major ramifications for the FBI and the Biden administration.
The First Amendment is very clear when it forbids abridging the freedoms of the press, speech, and religion.

Supreme Court hands Democrats a Huge Election Loss:
It seems every year elections are getting tighter and tighter. Now the courts are getting involved.
And the Supreme Court has now handed Democrats a huge election loss.
A major discussion in the political world in recent months has been the issue of abortion and how the federal and state level governments should approach it.
Pro-life conservatives insist that there must be some sort of protections for innocent babies in the womb, even if there’s disagreement on how much and whether it should come from the federal or state government.
The pro-abortion Leftists, however, are truly pushing for a future where it does not matter what you do with the unborn baby in the womb. The Democrat Party believes in abortion through all nine months of a pregnancy for any reason whatsoever. That’s their Party platform on that issue.
Democrats swear that this is a “losing” issue for Republicans and conservatives because they lie and say it’s all about “controlling” women at the end of the day. Nothing could be further from the truth.
When the issue is prevented fairly, polls show that a vast majority of Americans actually support some type of abortion restrictions that should be implemented into law. In fact, studies have demonstrated that Millennials and Gen Z are more pro-life in this regard than the previous generations.
A 2021 poll found that 44% of Millennials and Gen Z were in favor of the issue of abortion being left up to the states rather than the federal government by getting rid of the 1972 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade.
That’s exactly what happened in 2022, but Democrats are now trying to claim that everyone and their mother wants Roe v. Wade back and codified by Congress. This is just one example of how the Left tries to twist the narrative rather than presenting the facts.
However, the Supreme Court in Ohio has delivered the pro-abortion Leftists a major loss that could change everything about this issue.
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled this week that the language for the abortion-related ballot question that will be voted on this November can include the term unborn child rather than “fetus”.
Originally, Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights, launched a lawsuit to get the Ohio government to switch the language from including unborn child in the question because they believe it is unfair.
They never once argued that the term “unborn child” is inaccurate, rather, they said they wanted to use a word like “fetus” instead because they think it’s more neutral and scientific language.
The Ohio Supreme Court sided with the state board in control of the ballot language, however, saying that because it’s entirely accurate to use the words “unborn child” that it should stay.
This is a huge deal because Ohioans will be met with accurate but sobering language when they go to vote this November on whether to uphold this amendment to enshrine abortion in the state’s constitution.
Not only that, but the Ohio Supreme Court voted unanimously, 7-0, in favor of keeping the term unborn child in the ballot question.
Again, when Americans are given the truth about what really happens during an abortion and the scientific facts, they almost always support some type of lawful restrictions of the heinous act.
Often times radical Leftists who proclaim to be pro-abortion will agree that if the baby can feel pain from the abortion that they shouldn’t be aborted at all. They’ll also often agree that when a heartbeat is detected that the baby shouldn’t be aborted then either.
But according to the radical Left, that’s being a Pro-Lifer who wants to control women like the silly novel The Handmaid’s Tale.
