In Shadow of Pending Lawsuit, CDC Again Recommends COVID Vaccines for Infants and Young Kids

The CDC quietly reinstated its July 2025 COVID-19 vaccination recommendations, including recommending the vaccine for “off-label” use for infants and children, Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., reported. The changes bring the CDC recommendations in line with a court order issued in March by U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy. “CHD’s position is that these vaccines should be off the market,” Children’s Health Defense CEO Mary Holland said today.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly reinstated its July 2025 COVID-19 vaccination recommendations, including recommending the vaccine for “off-label” use among infants and children, Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., reported.

According to the CDC’s updated webpage, the agency now recommends the COVID-19 shot for all adults ages 18 and older and for children ages 6 months to 17 years who are moderately to severely immunocompromised.

Trump Threatens Billions In Federal Funds If NYC Doesn’t Put ‘Little Italy’ Back On Map

President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to withhold billions in federal funding from New York City unless the city updates a map of immigrant communities to include Little Italy.

In 2023, the city created a map, “New York City Immigrant Enclaves,” that maps ethnic communities across the city, such as Chinatown in Lower Manhattan, Little India and Little Manila in Queens, and Little Palestine in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. However, the map omits Little Italy as well as ethnic neighborhoods of Irish and Jewish communities.

Speaking at a Columbus Day celebration at the White House, Trump threatened to cut billions in city funding. “So you have Yemen covered, Haiti covered, Guyana covered, Senegal covered. I think it’s a disgrace. We are going to work on that immediately,” said the president.

The city budget relies on federal funding, with as much as $8 billion in the city’s 2025 fiscal year budget coming from federal sources – most of that going toward education and social services. Federal grants also support counter-terrorism funding for NYPD bomb squads and emergency preparedness teams.

In October, 26,500 New Yorkers lost federal SNAP benefits for food assistance under expanded work requirements set up by the Trump administration. Starting in January 2027, possibly 900,000 New York City residents relying on Medicaid may lose health coverage when new federal work requirements take effect. This federal aid goes to individuals, not the city, but the city and state are scrambling to compensate lower-income New Yorkers for these lost benefits.

The 2023 immigrant enclave map resurfaced on social media back in July, and the City Council’s Italian Caucus released a statement on X that it was deeply disappointed with the city for omitting the contribution of Italian-Americans.

“Italians are not a footnote in New York City history – we helped build it,” City Council’s Italian Caucus said in a statement on X on July 10. All four members of the Italian Caucus are Republicans.

When asked about leaving out Little Italy, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the map predates his administration, but that it would be updated in the future to include Little Italy and others.

“It’s clearly not an exhaustive list of the more than 200 ethnic enclaves,” Mamdani said July 11.

The Permission Grid: A Blueprint for a Permanent Slave Class

Shoe-horned into the permission grid.

It’s what they want and you know what? I think it’s what they’ll get. They’ll get it because there is a loss of agency amongst the populace. The pushback to this Orwellian nightmare is… in a word, pathetic.

The EU wants a passport for the peasants to access the internet.

The justification. Why, of course. The kids. Who wouldn’t want to protect children? Only a psychopath or a pedophile. You’re not a psychopath or a pedophile, are you?

A digital identity system, tied to age verification, with a specific carve-out written into the design: “The new age verification system cannot be bypassed via VPN.”

They’re not just building a verification layer. They’re closing the one exit that lets the peasants opt out of it. VPNs exist for exactly one reason that matters here — they let you decide who gets to know where you are and who you are.

Blocking VPN circumvention isn’t a technical footnote. That’s the point. Now, I’m not a tech nerd, so I’ve no idea if this is mere posturing by these psychopaths, and if it is actually possible for them to achieve this… technically. The truth is, most of the peasants will simply comply. The cage is compliance of the mind, and most are already slaves.

The above isn’t happening in isolation. Look at where Europe has been walking, one regulation at a time:

Cash transactions banned above €10,000. Bitcoin purchases require an ID above €1,000. Privacy coins banned outright. MiCA compliance costs pushing an estimated 90% of crypto firms out of the market.

Each of these, taken alone, gets defended in the same way these parasitic pedophile satanists always defend their actions: as consumer protection, anti-money-laundering policy, or tax compliance.

Taken together, they form something else entirely: a system where every transaction, every wallet, every website you visit resolves back to a verified identity, and where the tools that let you route around that — cash, privacy coins, VPNs — are being systematically removed.

This is the architecture of permission-based participation. Not “here’s what’s illegal.” Instead: “Here’s what you’re allowed to do, and here’s how we confirm it’s you doing it.”

HILARIOUS: Gun Control Group Tries to Make a Point on Twitter/X About American Gun Ownership and Gets RATIOED INTO THE SUN by Other Users

As we all know, the left never stops pushing for greater gun control. It doesn’t matter how bad crime gets, they never give up the issue.

Every year, there are examples of law abiding people using guns to defend themselves and their fellow Americans but the gun-grabbing left just doesn’t care.

The gun control group ‘March for Our Lives’ recently posted a fun fact on Twitter/X and thought they were being clever and making an anti-gun point.

Other Twitter/X users flipped the script and their responses are great.

The Pangram Paradox: The Problem with AI “Detecting” other AIs

AI-powered “detectors” of AI-authored content have been promoted as a way to protect human writing online in the age of AI slop. Unfortunately, that’s not what’s really happening.

Op-ed: This is an opinion piece published on Unlimited Hangout. Most articles published on UH are not opinion pieces, so we are clearly labeling those that are.

It should be no secret to readers of Unlimited Hangout that I have a very negative view of the impact that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having on independent media and media in general. As someone who has been impersonated by AI daily on large video platforms for a few years now, I have come to acutely feel that AI is becoming a dangerous force that is making it increasingly difficult for well-meaning readers/viewers to distinguish between what is real and what is false. I don’t mean just for those hoping to view my content, as the personal issue I am facing is a microcosm of a much larger problem.

As a result, one might think that I would have been pleased, if not relieved, to see Substack, a large platform for professional writers, partner with an “AI detection tool.” Not only am I not pleased, but I have now taken the time to write an opinion piece explaining why I think this is bad and to also explain where I think a lot of this is going.

Substack’s new partner and, apparently, the AI detection tool of choice for most major media outlets right now is called Pangram. Pangram was founded in 2023, originally under the name Checkfor.ai, by Max Spero and Bradley Emi. Both Spero and Emi are Stanford graduates who, prior to Pangram, worked for companies like Nuro and Tesla where they both worked on AI self-driving car software (i.e. replacing human drivers with AI software). Both founders “have long been excited about the potential for AI to transform society” and say they created Pangram “to mitigate new issues caused by the proliferation of powerful generative AI models.”

I find it interesting that two Stanford graduates passionate about AI’s potential to “transform society” who then worked to facilitate AI-powered, human-free driving software decided to quickly pivot to “mitigate” issues caused by generative AI. A lot of the issues caused by generative AI were actually predicted years ago by figures like former Google CEO Eric Schmidt (Pangram co-founder Max Spero previously did work for Google). Schmidt, in a 2021 book authored with war criminal Henry Kissinger, essentially predicted that AI’s “transformative potential” would cause what he called “cognitive diminishment” in the masses and make it almost impossible for people to distinguish between what is real and what is not on their own. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Schmidt and Kissinger’s preferred “solution” to this problem was that we become reliant on AI to distinguish for us what is real and what is not –– in other words, to let another AI become the arbiter of our reality.

Democrats Campaign Against Their Own Congressional Nominee Who Happens to Be in Federal Prison

Eric Hafner, 35, is running to strip Alaska’s lone House seat away from Republican incumbent Rep. Nicholas Begich. But can he win? After all, Hafner is the only Democrat on the ticket, and midterms historically punish the president’s party.

There’s just one problem: Eric Hafner is nearly 3,000 miles away from Juneau, serving out a 20-year prison sentence in Otisville, New York.

According to U.S. Attorney Philip Sellinger, Hafner repeatedly threatened elected representatives, judges, law enforcement officers, and private citizens.

“He further victimized these public officials, private citizens, and the public generally by calling in numerous false bomb threats to a courthouse, a police department, law firms, businesses, and an elected official’s office,” Sellinger said.

Reporting by The Blue Alaskan revealed that in 2016, Inmate #00932-005 told a police department that the officer who arrested him “deserves to get shot,” that he knew where the officer lived, and that the officer’s minor child would “get his head bashed in.”

Data from Ballotpedia suggests that just 3.8 percent of voters filled in the bubble next to this man’s name.

It is unclear whether these voters knew Hafner’s background. The ballot may have been a protest vote or a knee-jerk reaction to the “D” next to his name.

Something Is Rotten in Michigan. Are Democrats Trying to Steal the Election for El-Sayed?

Michigan is a prime flip opportunity for the GOP, and it looks as if the Democrats are engaging in shenanigans to try to steal it.

Start with the motive. Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed are fighting to replace retiring two-term Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), and recent polling shows the contest in a dead heat. The last two surveys that RealClearPolitics tracked put El-Sayed ahead by a single point, well inside the margin of error. Cook Political Report rates Michigan as the only Democrat-held seat in the toss-up column, in a state President Donald Trump carried in two of his three runs.

Democrats did this to themselves, frankly.

The seat became a pickup opportunity the moment Michigan Democrats passed over the more electable candidate, Haley Stevens, and nominated a socialist radical instead. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) obviously doubted his party could hold Michigan with El-Sayed on the ticket.

Then came Thursday night’s debate, and it did not go well for El-Sayed.

Rogers dominated, exposing his opponent’s hypocrisy and dishonesty on Israel, terror ties, his foreign property, and health care. El-Sayed faced questions about his ties to terrorist groups, about supporters who cheer Hamas, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda, and about his mother’s role in wiring money to Osama bin Laden. Social media reaction overwhelmingly scored it for Rogers, and the verdict wasn’t limited to Republicans.

“Rogers showed up tonight and exceeded expectations,” wrote Michael LaRosa, a former spokesman for Jill Biden. “He spoke with absolute moral clarity about who Abdul El-Sayed actually is, he hit the right notes clearly and forcefully, and he didn’t flinch when going in on the attack.”

American Express Hit With $350 Million Fine For Anti-Money Laundering Lapses

American Express has been ordered to pay a $350 million penalty over what federal regulators described as “critical deficiencies” in its anti-money laundering controls.

The regulators said it missed about $13 billion in suspected activity over more than a decade.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced the civil penalty and a cease-and-desist order on Thursday against American Express National Bank, the Utah-based banking subsidiary of the credit-card company.

The Federal Reserve separately issued a concurrent enforcement action against parent company American Express and its subsidiaries, citing significant deficiencies in the company’s enterprise-wide anti-money-laundering compliance program.

According to the OCC, American Express National Bank failed to tailor its federally mandated anti-money laundering risk assessment to the way it actually did business.

The regulator said the bank focused too much on its “relatively narrow” demand deposit account products and services while not giving enough attention to the risks associated with its “more dominant” credit and charge card products.

The bank also experienced what the OCC described as “systemic breakdowns” in its processes for monitoring and reporting suspicious activity.

Those deficiencies led to failures to identify and report roughly $13 billion in suspected trade-based money-laundering activity, including card charges and repayments associated with those charges, according to the OCC.

Trade-based money laundering generally involves using commercial transactions to disguise the proceeds of crime or move illicit value, including through manipulating the price, quantity, or quality of goods involved in trade.

In some cases, the transactions involved accounts associated with bank insiders, according to the OCC.

This Won’t End Well… Seattle Becomes First City To Price-Fix Your Groceries

This week the Seattle City Council passed Mayor Katie Wilson’s “Fair Pricing and Transparency” ordinance in a 7-2 vote, a first-in-the-nation ban on so-called surveillance pricing.

The ordinance takes effect in 2027. The Washington Retail Association warned for months that the bill was rushed, would have significant and negative impact on prices, and that nearly all suggested fixes were ignored.

As approved, retailers must decide whether they can keep offering the tailored discounts and loyalty programs that Seattle families actually use or cancel all the programs and charge more for groceries.

Government should not be price-fixing consumer products.

Banning the use of loyalty cards and programs, fuel rewards, and targeted coupons hurts businesses and consumers alike.

Price controls do not make groceries cheaper. They flatten the tools stores use to compete for customers. When discounts vanish, the shelf price becomes the only price. That is how an “affordability” law raises a customer’s grocery bill. A Greater Seattle Business Association and Seattle Latino Metropolitan Chamber guest column put it plainly: trying to control prices through experimental regulation has never worked, and this ordinance will make an already expensive city more unaffordable.

Jan Himebaugh of the Washington Retail Association offered a household example, nearly $1,000 in grocer loyalty savings this year for her family, the equivalent of more than 185 gallons of gas in a state where fuel is among the nation’s most expensive. Those are not corporate talking points. They are the coupons that keep a cart full.

Thin-margin stores close. When they close, the result is the very “food deserts” Mayor Wilson has spent a campaign and a mayoralty promising to fight. Wilson has said Seattle will not accept food deserts as the cost of doing business, but the “Fair Pricing” policy creates a retail environment that does exactly the opposite.

A pricing ordinance that chases discounts out of the city works against that goal. You cannot subsidize corner markets on Sunday and make their discount model legally hazardous on Tuesday.

If Wilson wants more grocery access, the path is not to micromanage how a retailer prices a gallon of milk. It is to stop piling first-in-the-nation experiments onto businesses already carrying Seattle’s tax and regulatory load.

Personalized discounts are not surveillance. They are how competitive stores keep prices down and stay open. Kill those discounts, and the desert grows.

After Trump Push To End Ukraine War, European Capitals, Legacy Media Push Russian False Flags

European capitals and legacy media launched a combined arms approach overnight to counter U.S. President Donald Trump’s push for peace in Ukraine and for the war-torn nation to hold elections.

The globalist empire has struck back. It’s so obvious, it’s comical.

As part of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, U.S. President Donald Trump described Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call on Friday as “very strongly wanting to make a deal” with regard to the conflict in Ukraine, while at the same time harshly criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for not wanting to achieve peace, with Trump even calling for new leadership in the country. In addition, following long talks with the EU, the U.S. President announced a temporary solution for allowing the exports of Russian diesel fuel to the U.S. in order to alleviate the fuel crisis now affecting the country.

What many may not see is that the push to destroy Russian energy is tied to forcing a loss for Trump in the mid-term elections, pushing up energy costs globally.

European officials are discussing stricter rules for Russians traveling to the EU as tourists or even ex-combatants, fearing sabotage, arson and other forms of hybrid warfare, report the usual legacy media suspects.

There is also information spreading about an attempt to assassinate Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.

As reported by POLITICO on October 11, 2026, the European Commission is going to introduce stricter Schengen visa rules by early January 2027. Poland, Sweden and Estonia have been pushing for the new measures that were to be unveiled yesterday by European Commission. In 2025, as many as 478,000 Schengen tourist visas were issued to Russian citizens, many of them with multi-entry permits that do not require reapplication for each subsequent trip. Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer of Sweden has earlier called for stronger control of new Schengen visa regime due to hybrid threat from Moscow.

However, some of the measures which were previously considered to be too radical for EU as a whole, have already been implemented by frontline countries (the Baltics, Poland, etc.). Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna even estimated the number of former Russian soldiers to be banned from entering the EU to be around 650,000 people who are to be checked “person by person”. It is also possible that some of them could be supported by Russian services to commit crimes or attacks.

These new measures are a further step in the measures already implemented by the EU in relation to Russian travelers, when most of them are no longer granted multiple-entry visas, and their total number has fallen drastically since the large-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022. Limitations of a similar nature are applied by the so-called frontline states, including the Baltic States, Poland, and others.
