Thriller

Entertainment 2 Minutes

Today would have been Michael Jackson’s birthday (born in 1958 and passed away June 25, 2009). I liked a lot of his music but Thriller is a unique and memorable song for me.

[Verse 1]
It’s close to midnight
And something evil’s lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You’re paralyzed

[Chorus]
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one’s gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know it’s thriller, thriller night
You’re fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight, yeah
Ooh

[Verse 2]
You hear the door slam
And realize there’s nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you’ll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination (Girl)
But all the while
You hear a creature creepin’ up behind
You’re out of time

[Chorus]
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain’t no second chance
Against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller (Ooh), thriller night
You’re fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller tonight

[Bridge]
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There’s no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
(They’re open wide)
This is the end of your life, ooh

[Verse 3]
They’re out to get you
There’s demons closing in on every side (Ooh)
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night
I’ll save you from the terror on the screen
I’ll make you see

[Chorus]
That this is thriller, thriller night
‘Cause I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller (Ooh), thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller, chiller
Thriller, here tonight
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller (Ooh), thriller night
So let me hold you tight
And share a killer, thriller (Ow)

[Outro: Vincent Price & Michael Jackson]
I’m gonna thrill you tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood (I’m gonna thrill you tonight)
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse’s shell
I’m gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, ooh, babe (Thriller)
I’m gonna thrill you tonight (Thriller night)
Thriller, oh, darling (Oh, baby)
I’m gonna thrill you tonight (Thriller)
Ooh, babe (Thriller night)
I’m gonna thrill you tonight (Thriller)
Oh, darling (Oh, baby)
Thriller night, babe (Thriller night, babe)
Ooh
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years (Thriller night, thriller)
And grisly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver (I’m gonna thrill you tonight)
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Happy Birthday Michael!

    1. Good morning! I woke up in the midst of an awful nightmare – I was lost in some rundown city – more like a huge dilapidated mall – and couldn’t find my way out. Crazy! Partly cloudy and super humid here, temp at 60 again. The weather last night predicted highs in the 60’s in the coming weeks….. bummer! Not ready for fall and that means only a couple of lopes this year. There won’t be enough time for most of them to mature. Ah, well! Next year!

      Why is it that so many of these talented people get perverted by the money and attention and end up dead before their time? I loved a lot of his songs.

            so who benefits? foreign producers? i dunno…but it makes for a weird perfect storm of sorts. i mean our produce here in PA looks sad–compared to other summers. and our garden in particular didn’t do well as other years. Alone that means nothing but a lot of people are saying the same thing. we didn’t get the good hot sunshine and rain we needed. just saying. i trust that nothing is organic anymore.

    Under Joe Biden, the US State Department @StateDept installed Islamic foot-washing stations inside their bathrooms. These foot washing stations are still there.
    Did you know this?
    Muslim employees at the US State Department even set up “reflection rooms” for Islamic prayer and they encourage Muslim employees to hand out Ramadan guides to their non-Muslim colleagues so they can learn how to be sensitive to Islamic holidays.
    This is taxpayer-funded Islamification of America inside our government on YOUR dime.
    Imagine being at work and watching your colleagues stick their dirty, crusty feet inside the bathroom sinks and toilets on your dime.
    Why is this allowed in the United States government? We are not a Muslim nation!

  8. “Illogical Backlash Amid Efforts to Fix America’s Health Crisis”

    Sharyl Attkisson, Aug 29, 2025

    “Kennedy’s reforms aren’t being proposed to disrupt a healthy and effective system that’s served us well; quite the opposite. The context is a sick and broken establishment that demands a fresh approach.

    In a bold push to overhaul the U.S. public health system, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has initiated sweeping reforms at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), including firing top officials, pledging the first comprehensive scientific review of the childhood vaccine schedule, and launching investigations into autism causes and chronic disease epidemics.

    These moves, aimed at addressing what Kennedy describes as systemic failures in public health, have drawn sharp criticism from establishment medicine and media outlets, who accuse him of endangering children’s health and undermining science.

    But a closer examination reveals an irony: critics are defending a status quo riddled with missteps, while ignoring decades of escalating health crises that Kennedy seeks to confront, with crucial support from President Trump.

    No other president or HHS secretary has tried what’s being attempted today: a serious overhaul of ineffective and corrupt systems impacting public health. And for it, they are making powerful enemies at high levels.

    Read on for details.

    Kennedy, appointed by President Trump earlier this year, has long advocated for greater scrutiny of environmental toxins, vaccines, and pharmaceutical influences on health policy.

    While he’s often portrayed as uninformed and unscientific, he is likely today’s most knowledgeable national political figure when it comes to how industry influence has corrupted public health and the agencies tasked with advising us on it. As an attorney, he has successfully litigated environmental and vaccine safety cases, becoming an expert in medical and scientific fine points that his critics are apparently ignorant about.

    His reforms began shortly after confirmation. Most recently, there’s the ousting of CDC Director Susan Monarez and several top officials, with Kennedy citing “malaise” and conflicts of interest within the agency following decades of proof on both fronts.

    He has announced plans to get the topic of nutrition taught more extensively in America’s medical schools. He’s said he will soon announce findings regarding some “interventions” that have contributed to the autism epidemic, emphasizing an “aggregation of causes,” including environmental factors that are known to disrupt brain function.

    He’s announced plans to examine the impact of the entire US children’s vaccination schedule for the first time through a comprehensive scientific review— sorely overdue. If the review shows no issues, it will rebuild confidence among parents who have understandably come to doubt medical advice. If the review unearths problems, it will provide a path to fix them and rebuild public confidence.

    Additionally, Kennedy has shifted funding away from controversial mRNA vaccine research—canceling $500 million in contracts—to prioritize what he sees as scientifically “safer” alternatives. He’s remade the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which has been behind misinformation and numerous missteps in recent years. Kennedy removed all 17 members and is appointing new ones. They include vaccine expert and inventor Dr. Robert Malone who has criticized prior vaccine policies as dangerous and corrupt.

    These actions stem from the view held by Kennedy and millions of Americans that the CDC has been “in trouble” for years, plagued by industry ties and failures to address root causes of disease. He has highlighted the agency’s mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic, where— despite billions in preparedness funding— US health officials were totally unprepared; they disseminated false information on masks, transmission, and the vaccines; and they were wrong on key aspects like vaccine effectiveness and mandates.

    There are decades of CDC blunders including the 2009 swine flu response, where the CDC falsely declared an epidemic, rushed an experimental vaccine that caused injuries in hundreds, and misattributed illnesses. (My CBS News investigation showed most of the illnesses the government pubicly attributed to swine flu— weren’t swine flu at all.)

    Despite our public health establishment’s abysmal track record on so many important fronts, criticism of Kennedy by establishment figures has been swift and hyperbolic. Medical groups and media outlets claim his reforms put children’s health at risk by “undermining vaccine science” and could lead to outbreaks.

    For instance, CNN reported Kennedy’s vaccine committee overhaul is a “tightening grip” on vaccines, heightening “anxiety.” Canadian scientists called his firing of the immunization committee “worrisome,” fearing politicization of science—as if science hasn’t already been politicized and as if the committee had been making good decisions all along. Vaccine industry allies labeled Kennedy’s mRNA funding cuts “factually incorrect,” accusing him of endangering public health. Media like MSNBC and Axios dubbed it an “anti-vaccine revolution,” warning of broad ramifications.

    A particularly illogical example of criticism comes from a cable news segment on August 28, after Kennedy defended firing the CDC director. An analyst expressed alarm over “what Kennedy might do to vaccines,” hoping he wouldn’t “endanger everybody for flu season.”

    This ignores that Kennedy has not restricted flu shots; in fact, he urged the vaccine advisory committee to recommend thimerosal-free versions for children and pregnant women, citing safety concerns over the longstanding use of the controversial mercury ingredient (thimerosal).

    What’s more, studies show flu vaccine effectiveness is limited at best, as low as four percent, with serious possible side effects such as paralysis. A key government-backed review found regular flu shots entirely ineffective in reducing all-cause mortality among the elderly, and of no benefit to any age group. Studies in other countries echoed the findings.

    Kennedy’s call for examining the childhood vaccine schedule, including well-established scientific links to autism that mainstream reporters and medical officials are ignorant of or in denial about, aligns with rising rates and public demand. Critics appear to be defending the system and officials in charge of our health as autism exploded on the scene with a shocking 1 in 150 kids in 2000 to an unthinkable 1 in 31 today, per CDC’s own data.

    Kennedy argues environmental toxins—like pesticides and endocrine disruptors in food and water—warrant investigation, a view supported by National Institutes of Health (NIH) initiatives and many scientists. He supports vaccines but demands transparency, echoing calls from many medical experts outside of the establishment and concerned parents. Yet his stances are misrepresented as fringe and “anti-vax”— and rarely are counterpoints represented, though there are many.

    The irony is stark: these critics are defending a broken system that has overseen America’s chronic disease explosion. Today, an estimated 129 million Americans have at least one major chronic condition, with pediatric prevalence rising nearly 30% from 2011-2023 and hitting 25 million youth. Conditions like heart disease, cancer, autism, anxiety, depression, juvenile diabetes POTS, Crohn’s disease, skin disorders, and other autoimmune issues have skyrocketed.

    Taxpayers spend $4.5 trillion annually on healthcare and 90% on chronic diseases, yet our public health experts have put the focus on expensive treatments that add side effects without curing roots.

    Critics who remained silent on these epidemics—blaming genetics alone despite evidence of environmental links—now portray Kennedy as the threat for probing them.

    The backlash often ignores Kennedy’s stated goal: restoring trust through evidence. As chronic illnesses bankrupt families and new diseases emerge potentially linked to toxins, vaccines, or other medicine, defending a broken system that ill-served Americans for decades is not just illogical—it’s potentially corrupt, prioritizing profits over prevention.

    Of course there’s no guarantee that Kennedy’s reforms will cure all ills. With so much unknown, no single person will have the correct answer to all the questions. It would be unrealistic to think there won’t be missteps and mistakes along the way.

    But Kennedy’s reforms aren’t being proposed to disrupt a healthy and effective system that’s served us well; quite the opposite. The context is a sick and broken establishment that demands a fresh approach.

    Whatever the ultimate result, this is the first comprehensive attempt to fix what’s truly endangering public health. The interests who benefit from the status quo, and those they influence, will not let this happen without an epic fight.”

  9. EXCERPT: “A top U.S. general and a key U.S. rear admiral both turned down last-minute chances which potentially could have kept the Taliban out of Kabul during the August 2021 fiasco of evacuation from Afghanistan. General Frank McKenzie rejected a proposal from the Taliban to keep the enemy forces out of Kabul, while Rear Admiral Peter Vasely shot down an overture from allied Afghan commanders that may have saved the nation’s capital from the utter chaos that ensued.

    McKenzie, the now-former commander of CENTCOM, held a mid-August 2021 meeting with Taliban leader Mullah Baradar in Doha, Qatar which would end with the Taliban taking control of Kabul and the U.S. relying upon the goodwill of Taliban fighters to provide security at the Kabul airport during the evacuation. 

    During that meeting, Baradar said the Taliban was willing to withdraw its forces from in and around Kabul and would let the U.S. send in as many troops as it wanted to secure the Afghan capital and conduct the U.S. evacuation free from Taliban interference, but McKenzie admits that he turned the offer down on the spot.

    McKenzie is currently listed as the Executive Director for the Global and National Security Institute at the University of Southern Florida. The general did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent to him through his email at the school.

    Vasely did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent to him through his LinkedIn page.

    Afghan military told to give up the fight

    Afghan General Haibatullah Alizai and Afghan General Sami Sadat have both also said that they had proposed imposing martial law in mid-August 2021 following Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s flight from Kabul, and that Alizai and Sadat had sought U.S. assistance for this, but that U.S. Rear Admiral Peter Vasely, then the commander of U.S. Forces Afghanistan-Forward in Kabul, and now retired, had rejected the plan on the spot and told them to give up the fight and just head to the Kabul airport.

    It is not known what would have happened if McKenzie and Vasely had made different decisions, but what is known is the harrowing and deadly scenes in Kabul that followed.

    Despite its significance to the fate of Afghanistan and to the safety and success of the U.S. evacuation, the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC)’s final report made no mention at all of McKenzie’s critical meeting with the Taliban in Doha. 

    The HFAC report also only a single line obliquely referencing the unsuccessful bid by Alizai and Sadat for last-minute U.S. support to stave off the Taliban, with the report saying, “Even as the Taliban reached the gates of Kabul, the highest-ranking remaining Afghan commander, General Alizai, asked for U.S. support in a last stand to defend Kabul.” 

    The report does not say to which U.S. military officer the Afghans made this request, does not mention what the U.S. response was, and provides no further details……”

  10. Just The News: “The mother of the transgender shooter who shot multiple people and killed two children at a Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has obtained a criminal defense attorney and is not speaking to the police, according to reports.

    Mary Grace Westman, the mother of mass shooter Robin Westman, has a criminal defense attorney named Ryan Garry, according to Fox News. Garry told Fox that Robin’s mother is “completely distraught about the situation and has no culpability but is seeking an attorney to deal with calls like this.”

    During a Thursday press conference, Minneapolis police chief Brian O’Hara said multiple interviews were conducted with family members of the shooter and witnesses on the scene when the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church occurred. As of now, it’s not clear why Ms. Westman isn’t cooperating with the police. 

    On Wednesday, the shooter opened fire through the windows of the Catholic Church where mass was taking place, killing two children and injuring 18 others, including 15 children.”

  11. Just The News: “The U.S. will not be participating with the United Nations when it reviews its human rights record, a State Department official said.

    The State Department official said participating in the review would ignore the UN Human Rights Council’s “persistent failure to condemn the most egregious human rights violators,” according to The Hill newspaper. 

    President Donald Trump withdrew from the Human Rights Council (HRC) earlier this year. The official said that the U.S. would not be lectured about human rights by countries like China, Sudan or Venezuela.

    A spokesperson for the HRC said they were informed about the decision by the U.S. “The Bureau of the Human Rights Council (its President and four Vice Presidents) will discuss this matter at its earliest convenience,” the spokesperson said. “This is a matter for the 47 member states of the Human Rights Council to consider at a later stage.”

    Human rights groups have been critical of the U.S. decision.”

  12. Just The News: “Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Thursday that there will be a National Institutes of Health study launched to figure out if there’s any connection between violence and psychiatric drugs.

    “At NIH we’re launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence,” Kennedy said during an interview with Fox & Friends. “You know, many of them [include] warnings that warn of suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation. We can’t exclude those as a culprit, and those are the kind of studies that we’re doing.”

    Kennedy’s announcement comes one day after a transgender shooter opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, killing two children and injuring 18 others, including 15 children. Right now it isn’t clear if the shooter, Robin Westman, was on any kind of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). 

    During his own confirmation hearing earlier this year, Kennedy said some antidepressants could be more addictive than heroin. “I know people, including members of my family, who’ve had a much worse time getting off of SSRIs than they have getting off of heroin,” he said, according to Newsweek.”

  13. EXCERPT: “Fresh off a big victory with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) on July 4, congressional Republicans are eyeing another chance to pass additional budget priorities in a second reconciliation package.

    While negotiations over a second reconciliation package are ongoing, conservatives and pro-life supporters must make it clear: congressional Republicans should commit now to defunding Planned Parenthood for at least one more year.

    The OBBB accomplished a historic win for pro-life supporters, defunding any 501(c)(3) organization that “is primarily engaged in family planning services, reproductive health, and related medical care,” “provides for abortions,” and exceeded $800,000 in Medicaid dollars in 2023 of taxpayer funding. This provision applies primarily to Planned Parenthood and its affiliate organizations.

    The defunding provision lasts for one year beginning on the date of the OBBB’s enactment.

    Abortion Group Turns to Courts

    But Planned Parenthood, sensing it had finally met its match, ran to the place the left always goes to accomplish what it fails to win through the democratic process: the courts.

    On July 7, Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, where 11 of the 11 active federal judges were appointed by Democrat presidents. Absurdly, Planned Parenthood contended it has a constitutional right to Americans’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Of course it doesn’t. Under Article 1, Section 9, of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the “power of the purse.” It can fund, or not fund, whatever it so chooses for whatever reason.

    But within hours, Judge Indira Talwani, a nominee of former President Barack Obama, sided with Planned Parenthood without even hearing a response from the other side. She granted the abortion giant’s request for a temporary restraining order, requiring the Trump administration to keep taxpayer dollars flowing to Planned Parenthood.

    Since then, additional legal proceedings in the district court have played out in the same fashion, with Judge Talwani overriding the American people, their elected representatives in Congress, and a duly elected president.

    Thankfully, the Trump administration promptly appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. But as the saying goes, the new boss is the same as the old boss. On the First Circuit, five of the five active federal judges were appointed by Democrat presidents.

    On Aug. 19, the First Circuit sided with Planned Parenthood in its quest to overturn the will of the American people and Congress’s decision to defund the organization.

    In Planned Parenthood Federation of America v. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the First Circuit denied the government’s motion for a stay pending appeal (a request the court set aside Judge Talwani’s mandate while the lawsuit plays out), allowing Judge Talwani time to consider the government’s separate motion for a stay in the district court.

    Three of the circuit judges, all nominees of former President Joe Biden, denied the motion “without prejudice,” and said the Trump administration could again seek relief from the First Circuit if Judge Talwani’s denies its motion for a stay.

    Where’s this leave us? With Planned Parenthood claiming victory — again…..”

      Another 2+ hours working on the cottonwood garden bed – it has turned into a major renovation vs. a minor one…..I got lazy and let the grass overgrow 1/4 of the bed so now I am removing it so it is balanced. Once I get finished, I will spray the entire bed with weed/grass killer, then add more river rock – there are a lot of sections where it is very thin. At least it isn’t too hot today, partly cloudy with a nice breeze. I’ll need to mow again tomorrow…..if it’s not raining.

    Not The Bee, Mister Retrops, Aug 28, 2025

    Image for article: California DA Resigns After Meth Dealer Rats Him Out

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “In what comes as a surprise to no one, a California district attorney is being investigated for being a meth head.

    Mike McAfee, the district attorney of Mariposa County, stepped down after his dealer, Gary Schisnewski, showed texts from the DA to the local paper, which then showed them to the local sheriff.

    According to SF Gate,

    The texts published by the Gazette, some of which included typos, show McAfee asking for ‘the usual energy pack,’ or ‘a little pick me up,’ often arranging drop-offs at his Merced home or along his commute to Mariposa. On April 16, McAfee allegedly asked Schisnewski to meet him at a middle school in Merced to buy from him, the Gazette reported.

    McAfee met Schisnewski when he prosecuted and then later defended him for drug dealing.

    Schisnewski says they golfed together after McAfee agreed to defend him, and that’s when the DA first started asking for “party favors.”

    From there, Schisnewski alleged, the prosecutor became his only customer. ‘I felt I had to [sell drugs] or he would’ve messed with me,’ he told the Gazette.

    When asked about the meth claims, McAfee said,

    ‘I’m not going to give that credence or answer such a stupid question.’

    He said his decision to resign was not related to the release of the texts.

    His phone, however, was seized via a warrant issued by Merced Superior Court Judge Mark Bacciarini. The case is currently being investigated by the state attorney general, which is standard procedure when a district attorney is accused of a crime.”

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Welp, it’s 2025 and we are still fighting in federal court about whether men can be women. And the women keep losing. You’ll recall that seven members of the University of Wyoming Kappa Gamma Sorority had to sue back in 2023 to keep a dude who thinks he’s a dudette from joining their group.

    https://notthebee.com/article/7-women-are-suing-their-wyoming-sorority-for-allowing-this-trans-woman-to-live-at-their-sorority-house

    Well, this latest update is going to convince you that we’re still in Clown World. For a second time, a federal judge has ruled against the sorority sisters in favor of the sorority brother who wants to be a sister.

    The lawsuit, filed in 2023 and later amended, involves the acceptance of Artemis Langford, a man who identifies as a woman, as a member of the all-female sorority in 2022. It alleges Kappa Kappa Gamma violated its own bylaws, which say members must be women.

    On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson ruled that the sorority is a private organization that can admit whomever it chooses, WyoFile reports.

    ‘In short, we are required to leave Kappa alone,’ Johnson wrote.

    We understand that the courts can’t tell a sorority who they are and are not allowed to admit. However, the sorority violated its own bylaws to admit this freak, redefining “woman,” thus putting real women in danger.And the courts turn a blind eye.

    The sorority and its leaders have ‘published and distributed multiple texts clarifying’ its definition of the word woman ‘to include individuals who identify as women,’ according to Johnson’s ruling.

    It may not all be a loss. This viral story caught the eye of higher ups in the Trump administration and the university itself may be in trouble.

    It is not known if the sorority members plan to appeal.

    Notably, the Trump administration launched an investigation into the university and alleged Title IX violations related to the lawsuit in June, according to the report.

    It may be out of the court’s hands, but this may not be the end of the story.”

Soros has also targeted American politics aggressively (ie., marxist DAs across American cities), this having a significant negative impact on the American rule of law system (just ask Trump!).

    He has also demonized traditional Christian values. Soros sits alone in terms of wealth funding of marxist, leftwing political movements. He has funded, through surrogates, election fraud, disruption and violence on the streets of America, and threatened national unity, all while profiting enormously.

    This has tainted (and should) Soros’ legacy along with his nefarious and notorious NGO, Open Society Foundations.

    So What?

    The Attorney General Pam Bondi needs to aggressively investigate his actions over previous years and determine if there were illegal funding of various components of American society (from elections to political campaigns, from financial fraud to information influence campaigns all designed to subvert America). Do the same for his son Alex as well.

    The world now requires big leaders to act for the positive benefit of humanity (especially we as Americans who must now deal with our internal challenges without the influence of someone with the stature of George Soros).

    In his ripe old age of 95 and a rapidly declining SOROS brand, let’s let his personal integrity and his enterprise collapse like many of his other efforts.

    Thank you, Elon Musk, for allowing us a platform to offer our ideas, and thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for taking a strong stand against tyranny.”

  25. “Has anyone else noticed how, in the latest CDC “kerfuffle,” as reported by mainstream media, the media conveniently left out the manipulated RSV data story that seems to have originated from the CDC?

    Also, they haven’t addressed the fact that one of the ex-employees, who resigned from the CDC, flaunted photos of himself dressed in what looks like bondage (S&M) gear on various dubious magazine covers after being hired by the Biden administration. These are magazine covers. Other photos from his old Instagram account are even more explicit. Now, what someone does in their private life – fine. I don’t want to know. But public health means promoting healthy behaviors.

    How is it even possible not to cover these aspects of the firings and resignations?

    As a sidebar, here are magazine photos of Dr. Demetre Daskalakas, who labels himself as the “Activist Doctor,” and was the “Senior Equity Advisor” (reporting directly to then CDC director Rochelle Walensky) during COVID, as he proudly displays his obsession with bondage as a badge of honor, during his tenure in the Biden administration. The CDC COVID picture during Biden/Harris is becoming clearer.

    How was this employee in any way, shape or form fit to serve in the Trump administration – an administration working to Make America Healthy Again? The children are watching.

    “Activist Doctor” complains to the press that actual scientists are asking questions. Very interesting.”

  30. “Mohammed becomes most common name among welfare benefit recipients in Germany; Three Islamic names, Mohammed, Ahmad, and Ali, were included in the top 10 first names of recipients”

    ReMix News, Thomas Brooke, August 29, 2025

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “New figures released by Germany’s federal government have reshaped the rankings of citizen’s allowance recipients in the country, placing Mohammed and its many spelling variants at the top of the list.

    A recent government response to an Alternative for Germany (AfD) inquiry originally suggested that Michael, Andreas, Thomas, and Daniel were the most frequent first names among those receiving the allowance, known locally as Bürgergeld. However, the government’s list had separated different spellings of the same name, resulting in distortions.

    AfD lawmaker René Springer requested additional data that consolidated all variations of the same name. The government’s updated response, obtained by Bild, shows that Mohammed — counted across 19 different spellings and variants such as Mohamed, Muhammad, and Mahamadou — now ranks first with 39,280 entries.

    By comparison, Michael (including Michel, Mischa, and Maik) comes second with 24,660 entries, followed by Ahmad (20,660), Andreas (18,420), and Thomas (17,920). Names with fewer spelling variations, such as Andreas and Thomas, lost ground, while Ahmad, which has multiple common versions including Achmet and Amed, rose to third place.

    The federal government stressed that first names cannot be used to directly determine nationality, though they undeniably serve as an indicator of native Germans and those of a migration background. Three Islamic names, Mohammed, Ahmad, and Ali, were included in the top 10 first names of recipients.

    At the end of 2024, a total of 5.42 million people in Germany received a citizen’s allowance, including 2.82 million Germans (52 percent) and 2.6 million foreigners (48 percent). Critics argue that these numbers understate the role of foreign-born individuals, since many migrants are now naturalized German citizens and therefore counted as “German” in the statistics. Bild also reported that nearly half of Germany’s €17.68 billion housing support budget for 2024 went to foreigners.

    The debate comes as the Federal Employment Agency continues to advertise welfare benefits to migrants, with parts of its website dedicated to “people from abroad,” promising financial support to cover living expenses.

    Germany’s governing CDU/CSU bloc is finally calling for stricter limits on migrant reliance on welfare. Deputy parliamentary leader Mathias Middelberg argued earlier this week that job centers need to do more to integrate Afghans and Syrians into work. “Just 100,000 more people in work instead of relying on the citizen’s allowance could, depending on wage levels, relieve the federal budget in the low single-digit billion range every year,” Middelberg said.

    Government figures show that 52.8 percent of Syrians and 46.7 percent of Afghans in Germany receive a citizen’s allowance, while fewer than 40 percent in both groups are in jobs subject to social security contributions. “We cannot accept that hundreds of thousands of young asylum seekers here in Germany are unemployed for decades,” Middelberg added.

    Earlier this month, two Social Democratic Party district administrators in Thuringia also broke with their party’s national leadership by demanding that non-EU migrants, including asylum seekers and recognized refugees, should receive social benefits only as interest-free loans, repayable once they find employment.”

  31. “Polish president uses veto power to protect children from sex offenders and other criminals: During one recent Sejm session on the situation of children during their parents’ divorce, a registered sex offender was invited to speak”

    ReMix News Staff, August 29, 2025

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “A recent amendment to Poland’s Act on Counteracting Sexual Crime Threats and Protecting Minors would have abolished the requirement for parents or guardians assisting at educational institutions, e.g., during school trips, to present certificates of no criminal record.

    President Karol Nawrocki has now vetoed this amendment, reports Do Rzeczy, partially due to criticisms from the Ombudsman for Children. 

    Monika Horna-Cieślak appealed to Nawrocki to use his veto against what she called a move that would lower the standard of child protection in Poland, currently under the “Kamilek Act,” and create a real threat to their safety, especially in the context of sexual offenses.

    The Ombudsman highlighted a recent meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Children’s Rights, during which issues related to the situation of children during the separation of their parents were discussed. One of the speakers at this meeting, presented as an “expert,” was none other than a person convicted of sexual offences and listed on the Sex Offenders Register. This sparked outrage and questions about the mechanisms for controlling access by such individuals to places where minors reside and places generally considered safe.

    “Under the proposed regulations, there is a real risk that such situations may repeat themselves in practice, and that individuals convicted of sexual offenses, murder, or human trafficking will be able to have contact with children, for example, during classes in kindergartens or schools where they will be guests. In practice, responsibilities related to children’s safety will be transferred to teaching staff,” warned Horna-Cieślak.

    The so-called Kamilek Act entered into force on Feb. 15, 2024. It was passed in response to the tragic death of 8-year-old Kamilek from Częstochowa, who died as a result of brutal abuse by his stepfather.

    The regulations require the implementation of child protection standards in all facilities that work with children. This includes schools, preschools, childcare centers, educational centers, religious centers, artistic centers, medical centers, recreational centers, sports centers, youth centers, and community centers. Employees in these facilities must provide a certificate of no criminal record from the National Criminal Register.”

  39. Just The News: “The Minneapolis gunman, Robin Westman, 23, who said he “was tired of being trans,” had recently broken up with someone, had previously had a “medical mental health visit” to his home when he was a teenager, and he blamed the massacre he perpetrated on his mother, who has retained an attorney and is refusing to talk to the police. 

    During the massacre, Westman killed two children and injured 18 other people, including 15 children, at the Minneapolis Catholic school. Westman then died from a self-inflicted gunshot.

    Regarding the romantic partner he had broken up with, which he wrote about in his manifesto, according to the New York Post, the person’s name was “Aby,” written in the Cyrillic code and deciphered by The Post, and the relationship seemed to be on the rocks. “Aby is such a baby. I should have never started dating them,” Westman wrote, adding that Aby wanted to have sex with him, but that he hated sex. 

    Westman’s father told investigators that Robin, who was originally named Robert, had “broke up with a significant and/or romantic partner” and had been staying with a friend in the surrounding area, Fox9 reported. The “medical mental health” call was made to his home, according to police records.

    Regarding blaming his mother, she had warned him that he would regret transitioning, but he then discouraged other parents from letting their kids do the same. He claimed to be anxious about a visit from his mother, in an entry dated July 1 of this year, according to the New York Post. 

    “Your words, mother, made me stay in my discomfort unable to ask for help to avoid admitting defeat. You were right mama, but the way you handled it led me to wanting to kill so so many people,” he wrote, according to the outlet.

    “Gender and weed f****d up my head,” he claimed. “I wish I never tried experimenting with either. Don’t let your kids smoke weed or change gender until they are like seventeen.”

    “When I was first out to my mother, she was VERY antagonistic. She really made me hate myself and think I will never be good enough,” Westman wrote. “I remember one day, she said something like, ‘In the future you will look back and feel ridiculous about who you feel like you are inside. You will regret this.’ 

    “Well guess what mom?! I regret being born,” Westman added.”
