FDA Commissioner Nominee Says Every Vaccine On US Market Is Safe, Effective

“I’ve had robust discussions with the president,” said Overton, who was part of Trump’s first administration.

Dr. Heidi Overton, the nominee, said that if confirmed, she could use her scientific training and clinical background to describe to the American public what is currently known about products that fall under Food and Drug Administration oversight. “And what is currently known is that the vaccines that have been approved by the FDA meet the standards for safety and efficacy,” she said.

PSA – Whistleblower alleges millions of Driscoll’s berries sent to Canada with excess chemical levels

Driscoll’s berries are on many Canadians’ plates and all over Canadian grocery stores, with their tagline claiming to be “only the finest berries.” But a whistleblower lawsuit in California alleges the finest berries were not sent to Canada: instead, millions of pounds of fruit containing non-compliant levels of pesticides and chemicals crossed the border, and the company tried to cover it up.

TRUMP …..XI

Rod D. Martin
@RodDMartin
In case you were wondering what Trump got out of his summit this week with Xi Jinping, check this out: China just froze all of Iran’s money there.

This is the same China that was buying 90% of Iran’s oil exports before Trump’s blockade.

It’s a new world, folks.

Translated from Chinese
Iranian President Pezeshkian: All our money in China has been frozen.

We shipped our underground oil over there, tanker by tanker,
only for the payment to be tightly withheld in their banks, not a single cent withdrawable.

Truisms

Only those who are awake will see this, the rest are oblivious.

A strange encounter today (sci-fi like)

My cycling buddy (a Dem from LA) and I were stopped at a light while riding our bikes. A perfectly normal 40 something male was walking across the crosswalk in front of us. Suddenly he turned towards me and out of the blue told us not to trust the AI narrative. Here is what he said.

“It’s all lies:
The War on Drugs, 911, The War on Terror, the GFC, Covid, Surveillance which is what AI is all about. It’s all about control and profits!”

It caught me by surprise and all I could think of to say was, “I didn’t take that shit!” To which he replied, “You are a thinker!” As suddenly as he had started his diatribe, he stopped talking and looked ahead and continued down the side walk as if nothing had happened. My Lefty friend, I know you ask why I associate with him, asked what was that all about? It was the most bizarre interaction I’ve had in ages. If it wasn’t witnessed by my friend I would not have believed it had happened.

After our 3 hour ride I got home, opened up my laptop and found this substack open. I have no idea how or who sent it to me. It is along the same lines as what I had just experienced.

How did I get this????

SIX YEARS LATER, GO BACK AND LOOK AT THOSE 64 DAYS AGAIN. WHAT IF WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE WRONG KIND OF OPERATION?

For six years people have asked:
Why wasn’t the Insurrection Act invoked?
Where was the military takeover?
Where was the giant announcement?

But what if none of that was the architecture because the hypothetical enemy wasn’t a country, an army or the American population? What if the mission was to identify and dismantle a distributed illicit transnational network money, facilitators, cyber infrastructure, trafficking organizations, corrupt actors and financial pipelines?

Big business warns Trump against diesel export ban in joint letter

  • The Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, National Association of Manufacturers and American Petroleum Institute warned against a diesel export ban.
  • The industry groups told President Donald Trump in a letter that a ban would raise fuel prices, not lower them.
  • Trump is facing growing political pressure from Republican lawmakers in farm states like Iowa to take action on fuel prices ahead of U.S. midterm elections.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, National Association of Manufacturers, American Petroleum Institute and dozens of other groups told Trump that an export ban would “lead to less fuel production, tighter supplies and rising costs for American families, farmers and truckers.”

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/24/chamber-commerce-business-roundtable-trump-diesel-export-ban-iran-war.html

 

As I recall, the US supplies 50% of EU Diesel requirements — and EU diesel reserves are only at 65% instead of 89% going into the winter months — is the “concern” being expressed here for Americans or for Europeans?? Does EU pay higher prices for US diesel than Americans do (IE: will the API lose profits)?

New Mexico jury finds Facebook liable for deceiving users about privacy protections

The jury found over 43 million violations of state consumer protection law and it is now up to the judge to determine how much the company would pay, with attorneys representing the state asking for the maximum $5,000 penalty per violation.

“The verdict marks a significant victory for New Mexico consumers and holds one of the world’s largest technology companies accountable for its conduct,” the New Mexico Department of Justice said in a statement.

CNN Sues Trump For Violating Its First Amendment Right To Fabricate News – The Babylon Bee – Satire

NESSUN DORMA

This song at the very end of the movie “Sum Of All Fears” constantly being played lately at Trump events is not a coincidence.

This song played as all the traitors plotting WWIII were summarily executed.

The fact that Trump chose to play this song at an honorary dinner with Xi is really big SIGNAL.

It reinforces my belief that sometimes the “sovereign alliance,” who are about to crush the cabal, need Face2Face communications to keep the enemy in the dark on what’s about to happen.

“Nessun Dorma” (Italian for “None Shall Sleep”)

Tick Tock!

Bipartisan

Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney’s husband has filed for divorce after the sordid details of her “months-long tryst” with Congressman Jamie Raskin came out in discovery in a lawsuit against the January 6 Unselect Committee.
According to filed documents, Raskin and Cheney conspired to form the committee to hide their relationship, spending countless hours alone together “investigating” the Nancy Pelosi op.
Cheney, who is worth $180 million due to her late father’s defense contractor holdings, stands to lose half under Wyoming law.
Raskin is facing similar challenges with his marriage as well……. Cheney would have shown more class if she had an affair with an inner city alley rat. But, really, Jamie Raskin????

Another New UK Government Unit Created To Police ‘Untrue Narratives’ …………. A literal Ministry of Truth…

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham used his first United Nations speech this week to announce a ‘National Centre for Information Defence’ – a new state machine to “detect, attribute and disrupt” what ministers call hostile information attacks, and to stop a “distorted and untrue narrative about Britain.”

Burnham wrapped it in Russia, bots, deepfakes and “community cohesion.” Critics are adamant the move is purely aimed at ensuring the government has full control over the flow of information.

The Commercial Real Estate Crash Is Moving From Paper Losses To Realized Losses

For years after Covid fundamentally changed how Americans use office space, lenders and property owners managed to postpone much of the financial damage. Loans were modified, maturities were pushed out and buildings were given more time to recover. The basic assumption was that eventually interest rates would come down, employees would spend more time downtown and refinancing markets would reopen. Instead, many owners are reaching the end of the runway with rates still elevated and buildings worth dramatically less than the debt sitting against them.

“One of the scariest headlines is that office CMBS delinquencies are higher than after 2008.”

Is California Running A Shadow Welfare System For Illegal Immigrants

In effect, California has built a retirement plan for foreigners and handed the bill to citizens struggling to fund their own…

The state of California spends billions of state and local tax dollars each year on welfare benefits for illegal immigrants through programs built to sidestep federal restrictions on public assistance

In theory, these programs are supposed to help struggling Californians. In reality, many serve large numbers of illegal immigrants. Today, California oversees a shadow welfare system that allows noncitizens to receive health care, rental assistance, college grants, tax credits, low-cost car insurance, and even smartphones on the taxpayers’ dime.
