Even CNN Is Calling Out Dems Over This Lie About Trump’s White House Project

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and a host of Democrats fell for this lie. No, the East Wing project at the White House isn’t the president’s main priority. Trump departed for his Asia tour last night. Schumer commented on a clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s answer about this renovation, but it was taken out of context. Schumer took the bait and got taken behind the barn for it. Now, even CNN is calling them out.

A reporter asked press secretary Karoline Leavitt at a Thursday briefing: “In addition to the ballroom and the Rose Garden patio, is the president looking at any other renovations or significant kind of projects here at the White House?”

Leavitt responded: “Not to my knowledge, no. But he’s a builder at heart, clearly. And so his heart and his mind is always churning about how to improve things here on the White House grounds. But at this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president’s main priority.”

So Leavitt was clearly referring to the planned new ballroom as Trump’s main priority for White House renovations. But on social media, various Democratic members of Congress have cut out the first part of the exchange to make it sound like she was saying the ballroom was Trump’s overall main priority.

Minnesota Corruption Runs Rampant

It would be easy for me to attribute my growing cynicism to my growing older.

After all, most people tend to get nostalgic for the “better times” of yesteryear. I was born in the mid-60s, and by the mid-1970s, it was the 50s that were being fondly remembered in shows like “Happy Days.”

Upon reflection, though, my cynicism doesn’t stem from nostalgia. Having grown up in the 1970s, I tend to think of my teen years are full of suckage.

No, my growing cynicism has been fully earned by the institutions I no longer trust.

By now, you may have read about the massive corruption in Minnesota’s state government, which is no doubt duplicated throughout the country in Deep Blue states. It is much worse than it was when I first noticed that the non-profit industrial complex was a total scam, as every urban planning and rail project turns out to be.

The Dark Side of Modern Medicine

A Century of Missteps, Manipulations, and Misdeeds. Medicine must be reclaimed as a public good, not a marketplace of manipulation.

The past century has seen astonishing medical advances, from antibiotics to organ transplants and precision diagnostics. Yet behind the celebrated breakthroughs lies a shadowed record of harm, deceit, and systemic failure.

The history of modern medicine is not only a story of progress but also one of unethical experimentation, corporate manipulation, regulatory capture, and public betrayal. I have witnessed this firsthand in my own career: when I proposed nutritional medicine approaches to prevention and early treatment, I was attacked by medical boards, chastised by medical colleges and silenced by bureaucracies beholden to pharmaceutical interests.

My work on vitamin C, cancer, and AIDS brought harassment from authorities, culminating in legal battles I was forced to fight—and win in the Supreme Court —at great personal cost. During the COVID-19 pandemic, my pleas to government leaders to adopt simple, life-saving measures like vitamin D, C and zinc were ignored, while experimental genetic injections were pushed on the public without transparency or informed consent.

Over decades I have seen colleagues censured, evidence suppressed, and patients left to suffer—all because profit and political control took precedence over genuine health and healing. Its still happening and patients are dying unnecessarily from the turbo cancers caused by the mRNA vaccines.

The pattern begins with unethical human experimentation and consent failures. In certain landmark cases over the past decades we find medical science mis-stepping into exploitation — from the decades-long denial of treatment in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, to more recent oversight-failures in clinical trials in low-income countries when pharmaceutical firms prioritised expedience over ethics.

I have observed similar dynamics in my own work: when simple nutritional protocols were sidelined, when investigative treatment options were blocked on the grounds of “non-standard care”, even though patient welfare was at stake, and when regulatory and board actions were taken not for patient safety but to suppress dissenting therapeutic voices.

Next comes the distortion of data, selective reporting and publication bias. The re-analysis of Study 329 revealed that the antidepressant paroxetine was neither safe nor effective in adolescents, despite original favourable publications.

Brigitte Macron, Wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, Was Registered as a Man in the Tax Registry, Reportedly as a Result of Tampering — Two Suspects Identified

Two suspects were identified in the investigation into the tampering of Brigitte Macron’s data.

A shocking discovery will be reported tomorrow evening (26), as the French TV channel BFMTV dedicates a news segment to the French First Lady and the seemingly absurd rumor that she was born a man.

Before you think this is just a ‘conspiracy theory’ on steroids, let me remind you that this shocking revelation comes from Brigitte Macron’s chief of staff.

You can check the BFMTV trailer here.

Le Figaro reported:

“’A discovery that sowed a wind of panic at the Élysée’. September 2024. Like all French citizens, Brigitte Macron consults her personal space on the tax website. But what was her astonishment to discover that she had been renamed on the online platform Jean-Michel. It is with this barely believable anecdote that the BFMTV documentary of the Ligne Rouge collection dedicated to the First Lady begins and broadcast Sunday evening, at 8:50 p.m., on the continuous news channel.

‘It doesn’t write Brigitte Macron but Jean-Michel [a.k.a.] Brigitte Macron’, recalls Tristan Bromet, the chief of staff of Emmanuel Macron’s wife, who testifies in the 35-minute film. ‘Beyond the gagging, you are totally surprised’, adds this closest collaborator who speaks for the first time in front of the camera about the case. ‘This is a part that you cannot change (on the tax website, editor’s note)’, he adds.”

Caliber reported:

“The Élysée Palace took the matter seriously, and Brigitte Macron filed a formal complaint. Investigators were able to identify two individuals who were possibly responsible for the data tampering.”

Virginia Governor Declares Emergency Over Looming Loss Of SNAP Benefits; USDA Warns Funds Running Out

USDA Warns It Can’t Use Contingency Funds To Cover SNAP In November

The federal government shutdown entered Day 25 on Saturday, with cryptocurrency-based prediction market Polymarket showing odds in the single digits that Democrats and Republicans will reach a resolution before November 3. The market currently assigns a 15% probability that the shutdown will end between November 12 and 15.

We have warned readers of the potential for major disruptions to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) if the federal government remains closed. Betting odds markets and limited political chatter in the Capitol Beltway this weekend (so far) suggest a resolution to the shutdown remains muted for next week.

In 2025, around 42 million people relied on SNAP benefits, which accounted for 12% of the population. This is more than enough people to create chaos should SNAP funds run dry in the coming weeks.

On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) warned:

Due to Congressional Democrats’ refusal to pass a clean continuing resolution (CR), approximately 42 million individuals will not receive their SNAP benefits come November 1

LORD ASHCROFT: ID card scheme is a classic Starmerite intervention – it’s expensive, intrusive and utterly pointless

Kemi Badenoch‘s skewering of Keir Starmer at Wednesday’s PMQs was a highlight in what has been a relatively good couple of weeks for the Tory leader.

If the Conservatives don’t exactly have a spring in their step, they are at least enjoying a sigh of relief. Their conference produced some policy ideas worth talking about and Badenoch delivered a punchy and humorous speech that stilled the endless chatter about her leadership, at least for a time.

Of course, most people have better things to do than pay attention to party conferences. But in this case, the task was to shore up her position and consolidate the Tories’ diminished base.

My latest polling suggests she succeeded in this crucial (if limited and short-term) objective. The number of Conservatives who would rather see her than Starmer or Nigel Farage as PM has risen sharply, pushing her rating up among voters as a whole.

The bad news is that this has yet to inject any life into her party’s standing overall. Insiders now say she is in a race against time to make that happen before the local elections next May.

In my survey, voters tended to think yet another change at the top would show the Tories had learned nothing about why they lost. But when panic sets in, politics takes on a logic and momentum of its own.

That’s not to say Badenoch is entirely at the mercy of events.

One thing that holds the party back is that the numbers saying it has changed since its defeat has flatlined all year.

Former Biden Press Sec Karine Jean-Pierre ‘Did Not Have Any Concerns’ About His Mental Decline — Insists He Was in Total Command

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is insisting that she never had any concerns about his mental decline.

In an interview with CNN’s Brianna Keilar on Friday to promote her new book, Jean-Pierre was asked about the cover-up that took place.

Here is a transcript of the exchange:

BRIANNA KEILAR: According to my colleague Jake Tapper, who wrote a book with Alex Thompson, looking back on that, cabinet secretaries were telling them that Biden wasn’t up to the task of the proverbial 2 a.m. phone call.

George Clooney said Biden didn’t even recognize him at the fundraiser that he was hosting. I mean, we’re talking 2023, 2024, why didn’t you see — why didn’t you have concerns? Why didn’t you raise them?

JEAN-PIERRE: So I did not have any concerns. I saw him on a daily basis, Brianna. You know that. I saw him every day. I engaged with him every day.

Now, did he show age? No one is denying that. Yes, he showed age. This is a president that was sharp. This is a president that pushed his staff. This is a president that was on top of what the policies that he cared about that were important to the American people.

And let’s not forget, he also was leading a coalition, a international coalition when it came to something that we hadn’t seen in decades when it come to the war in Ukraine. There was a lot going on. You just said it in asking me one of the questions. I

It was an unprecedented time. Objectively, Brianna, we had some successes, some historic successes in the beginning of, in the first couple of years of his first term, in his presidency, and so those are the things I’m talking my personal, from my personal standpoint, what I saw.

CIA tried to recruit Winston Churchill – Telegraph

The CIA tried to recruit British wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill to spread propaganda broadcasts on the agency-backed Radio Liberty in the 1950s, in an effort to undermine the Soviet Union, The Telegraph has reported.

At the height of the Cold War, the CIA-funded radio station targeted the Soviet Union with propaganda broadcasts, while its sister organization, Radio Free Europe, focused on Moscow’s allies. Both were covertly controlled and funded by the US intelligence agency until 1972 and merged into RFE/RL four years later.

In 1958, Radio Liberty’s controllers suggested riding the wave of “revisionism” gripping the Soviet Union at the time, and taking advantage of emerging ideological divisions within Marxism-Leninism to undermine the government, The Telegraph wrote on Saturday, citing declassified CIA documents.

Japan Will Play A Much Greater Role In Advancing The American Agenda In Asia

Putin’s senior aide Nikolai Patrushev gave an interview to Arguments and Facts about Japan on the 80th anniversary of its unilateral surrender in World War II in early September that’s important to raise wider awareness of after the appointment of its new ultra-nationalist prime minister. He began by reminding everyone that “Tokyo zealously cultivated an open racism that surpassed German Nazism in its absurdity and inhumanity. And the sovereignty of other countries was considered an empty phrase there.”

Patrushev then touched upon Imperial Japan’s failed geopolitical plot to turn the Sea of Japan into an inland sea and even seize Kamchatka so as “to gain undivided possession of the Sea of Okhotsk” too. He assessed that Japan’s current campaign for “’justice’ on the issue of the so-called ‘northern territories’” is just a disguise for a similar plot to obtain control over new marine (seafood and mineral) resources. Patrushev accordingly warned that it’s planning to make new claims to Russian maritime territory.

The emerging trend of misportraying Imperial Japan as the “victim” of Soviet aggression in 1945, despite the Allies having agreed in advance that the USSR would open up the Manchurian Front three months after the Nazis’ defeat, is meant to lend false legitimacy to these claims. This threat shouldn’t be downplayed, Patrushev warned, since Japan’s “Self-Defense Forces” de facto function as national armed forces, are NATO-backed, and are “systematically building a powerful and ultra-modern submarine fleet”.

In his words, “Japan is one of the most powerful naval powers in the world today. Its fleet is capable of solving almost any task even in remote areas of the World Ocean. The Japanese Navy closely cooperates with the NATO fleet, and at any moment they can be integrated into Western coalition formats.” Even more concerning are Japan’s nuclear breakthrough capabilities: “it is capable of creating its own nuclear arsenal and means of delivery in a few years” if the decision is made, according to Patrushev.

Nevertheless, these threats shouldn’t be exaggerated either since Russia is “building up defensive potential in the Far East and strengthening our naval power in the Pacific Ocean”, thus meaning that it’s more than capable of defending itself from Japan. Rather, “The threat lies not so much in the destroyers and missiles, but in the fact that the national consciousness of the Japanese is shifting from pacifism to rabid revanchism”, which he attributed to a long-running “aggressive propaganda” campaign.

The purpose is to precondition the population to accept the risks associated with Japan more actively advancing US interests in the region via the “Squad” (those two, Australia, and the Philippines), which is envisaged as the core of AUKUS+, the US’ desired NATO-like regional analogue. Japan’s place in the US’ Chinese Containment Coalition just rose as a result of the unexpected Sino-Indo rapprochement, prior to which the US wanted India to play a complementary role, so Japan is now at the forefront of this effort.
