RFK Jr. Stands Tall as Big Pharma Marionettes Do a Rage Dance in the Senate by John Zmirak
… There’s a coordinated conspiracy among Big Pharma giants to provoke a cascade of chaos inside the Department of Health and Human Services, demonize Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and force his resignation. We saw a mass resignation last week of officials linked to COVID and Operation Warp Speed.
Next came a letter demanding Kennedy’s ouster by previous heads of the failed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and an open letter signed by a thousand federal health bureaucrats making the same demand. …
That’s all the backroom, back-stabbing stuff. But the U.S. senators who collectively rake in tens of millions from pharameutical giants to serve as their flying monkeys were quite performative at yesterday’s public hearing, where RFK Jr. sat before them to answer their questions. It wasn’t easy …

Kennedy Says Biden Admin “Twisted the Data” to Cover Up How Abortion Hurts Women
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told the Senate [yesterday] during the hearing that Biden administration “twisted the data” on the dangerous abortion pill mifepristone to cover up how it hurts women.
The abortion drug, responsible for killing millions of babies in America and millions more worldwide, is also very dangerous for women, who are filling emergency rooms across the country with a variety of complications, some life threatening.
The Biden administration didn’t do women any favors with the dangerous abortion pill and warning them that a high percentage of women will suffer medical problems as a result of it – with some women dying or such severe complications they may never be able to have children.

Tim Kaine Thinks You’re A Terrorist If You Believe Rights Come From God
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. — who was once nearly a heartbeat away from the presidency — declared Wednesday that if you believe in the Declaration of Independence you’re a terrorist. …
Kaine’s claim that rights originating from the Creator are “troubling” is a fundamental misunderstanding of the Founders’ philosophy and the Declaration of Independence. The Founders did not see natural rights — and their ties to Christianity — as a threat: they correctly saw them as the very foundation of liberty. To deny this is to not only misread the Declaration and the Founders, but undermine the very underpinnings of the Republic. Any politician who can’t understand where our fundamental rights come from is unfit to serve in public office.

Kaine sparks backlash after calling Declaration of Independence’s God-given rights ‘extremely troubling’
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., faced widespread backlash online after he warned against the idea of God-given rights used in the Declaration of Independence.
“The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes. It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Shia law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians and other religious minorities,” Kaine said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Wednesday.

DC’s Dem Mayor Says City Will Work with Trump on Crime “Indefinitely”
In the latest vindication of President Donald Trump’s efforts to clean up crime in Washington, D.C., the city’s Democrat Mayor, Muriel Bowser, issued an order this week requiring local police to cooperate with federal authorities “to the maximum extent allowable by law within the District.” As a result, Bowser said, federal law enforcement could have a presence in the city “indefinitely.”
Trump declared a crime emergency last month to take operational control of the DCPD and activated 800 National Guard troops to augment that effort. The number of National Guard troops deployed to the city had increased to more than 2,200 by the end of August, with the administration reportedly considering extending their deployment in the city through December.

Democrats lied while Chicagoans died
Illinois Democrats, Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, have put on quite the performative show in their resistance to saving Chicagoans from being brutally murdered by violent criminals in the Windy City. Both left-wing politicians have repeatedly stymied President Donald Trump’s offer to deploy the National Guard to help lower violent crime. They regurgitated claims of Chicago being safe. They touted how no one wanted federal troops in the city. They emphasized how crime was decreasing.
But while Democrats lied, Chicagoans died — especially during Labor Day weekend.

‘Angel Of Death’: Man Arrested After Threatening Catholic Monastery, Traveling With Cache Of Weapons
A 38-year-old Alabama man who traveled to Southern California with a cache of weapons and ammunition, claiming to be the “Angel of Death,” was arrested after threatening a Catholic monastery, according to prosecutors.
Joshua Michael Richardson was charged on Wednesday with felony criminal threats and possession of six high-capacity gun magazines, brass knuckles, and a sword, the Los Angeles Times reported. Richardson sent a disturbing email to St. Michael’s Abbey in Silverado Canyon, California, on August 19, saying that he was “rider of the pale horse,” who personifies death in the book of Revelation, and threatening to “do the Lord’s reaping” at the monastery. He also claimed to be Michael the Archangel, the “Angel of Death,” from the Bible, according to prosecutors.

Farage warns Americans coming to U.K. could be arrested for speech like anti-transgender comedian’s
Less than 48 hours after allegedly armed London police arrested a famous Irish comedian for criticizing gender ideology while in America four months earlier, the top Democrat on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee – several of whose members traveled to Europe this summer to examine its speech climate – insisted “there’s no free speech crisis in Britain” …
Using five armed police to arrest Linehan is “a very big deal” in the largely gun-free U.K., [U.K. Reform Party leader Nigel Farage] said. “He’s [comedian Graham Linehan] not even a British citizen,” showing “this could happen to any American” arriving at Heathrow Airport who is at odds with the government, such as tech executives.

Carlo Acutis’ teachers share their memories of him at school
Before he was known as a soon-to-be-saint, Carlo Acutis was simply a boy in a school uniform, lugging his backpack through the hallways of the Tommaseo Institute in Milan. His teachers remember him as joyful, a bit of a prankster, and passionate about his Catholic faith.
“He was certainly not a perfect student,” Sister Monica Ceroni, Acutis’ middle school religion teacher, recalled. He sometimes forgot his homework or showed up late. But he had a “healthy curiosity” and “and wanted to get to the bottom of things.”
“When he became passionate about something, he didn’t give up,” she told EWTN News.
