President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday calling for changes to the child vaccine schedule, including splitting up one vaccine into separate shots spaced out over time. “My administration is recognizing gold standard childhood vaccine recommendations for only 11 core vaccinations against the most serious and dangerous diseases, along with the [measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine], which hopefully will be split up,” Trump said. “We want it in three separate vaccinations, given at separate times,” he added. “Together, there could be a possibility they’re quite lethal. And separately, it looks like they are not at all lethal, but just very effective.”

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier called for records Monday from the New York Times as he seeks to scrutinize the company’s editorial practices, citing the state retirement fund's investment in the paper. The attorney general contends that the paper has engaged in “editorial malpractice" that could expose the publication to costly litigation and ultimately hurt its shareholders, which includes retirees in his state. Uthmeier alleges in a 28-page letter to the publication that there are “publicly documented failures” of the New York Times failing to apply its own editorial standards to its news stories and of it using the opinion section to “publish reported factual assertions outside the newsroom’s verification controls.”

federal judge handed President Donald Trump a minor legal victory Monday by allowing him to amend his $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC in a move that is expected to help him dodge sharing financial information with the outlet. The president sued the network in December in his personal capacity for defamation over the BBC airing a program in 2024 that edited clips from his speech on January 6, 2021, to make it seem like he was inciting violence. United States District Judge Roy K. Altman gave the president permission to file an amended complaint by next week, and dismissed the BBC's request to dismiss the lawsuit as "moot."

For decades, people have asked the same half-joking, half-serious question: “Where are the flying cars we were promised?” The Jetsons, after all — with George, his boy, Elroy, daughter Judy, and Jane, his wife — debuted their concept of flying cars in 1962. 1962!And while some of the technology featured in that cartoon has become a reality, such as video chats and robots that do basic chores (vacuuming, mowing), the flying car has remained rather elusive. That is about to come to an end. On Monday, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) gave the closest thing to an answer yet to that aforementioned —

President Trump took a secret flight from Turkey to the UK on an alternate military aircraft on July 8 after he was quietly moved from Air Force One due to an Iranian threat. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Trump announced that the Air Force One jet he flew to Ankara, Turkey, for the NATO summit last month would be visiting a US base in the UK. He went on to fly on a different Air Force One plane when departing from Turkey, prompting speculation of security concerns.
Judge Blocks Mamdani’s Pied-à-Terre
Tax After Homeowners File Lawsuit

A New York judge on Monday temporarily blocked NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new pied-à-terre tax, which hits New Yorkers who own a valuable second home. Last month, Mamdani implemented a so-called luxury property tax on second homes valued at $5 million or more. The property tax also affected certain co-ops valued over $1 million. Mamdani doxxed the homeowners after his Department of Finance published a database listing the names and addresses of the 960,000 properties. “As per State law, a property roll was released for public inspection. From this list, DOF will identify properties that may be subject to the new non-primary residence property surcharge,” a Mamdani spox previously told Fox News.
Small Boat Record Smashed Again as 230
Migrants Smuggled Into Britain on ‘Mega-Dinghy’

A single “mega-dinghy” carrying 230 migrants has smashed the Channel crossing record. The Mail has the story: It is the largest number ever recorded in one small boat, with the previous record of 165 being set just 17 days earlier. The confirmed 230 arrivals is more than the typical capacity of a Boeing 737 jet. People traffickers are currently thought to charge around £2,000 per head for illegal passage to Britain. With about £10,000 in assumed costs for the trip, this single dinghy could have made them a staggering £450,000 profit. Their new mega-dinghies are “floating deathtraps” and at 42ft are longer than a double-decker bus.

They never learn. And they never stop hating you. In a move that proves once again that the D.C. Establishment is completely terrified of the America First agenda, RINO Senator John Thune, Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked Swamp successor, has just pulled one of the most underhanded, backstabbing maneuvers in Senate history. Instead of doing the work of the American people, “Useless” John Thune is sending the United States Senate home for a massive, unearned 37-DAY VACATION. But it gets worse. Much worse. Thune isn’t just going on vacation. He is purposely scheduling 11 fake, “pro forma” sessions during the break.

Establishment Democrats have reportedly been pressuring the family of Alani Bankhead in order to push her into dropping out of the Montana Senate race so independent Seth Bodnar can step in.“Independent Montana Senate candidate Seth Bodnar could withdraw from the state’s U.S. Senate race before the Aug. 10 filing deadline if Democrat nominee Alani Bankhead remains on the ballot,” said the report. “Republican strategists and political operatives told Breitbart News that Bodnar’s campaign has struggled to gain traction despite spending by both the campaign and an allied super PAC,” it added. Over the weekend, NPR noted that Democrats have—
The Democrats Gave Us Today's Inflation replies

The grocery receipt is where inflation arrives. It is not where inflation begins, and any politician who tells you otherwise is either innumerate or lying. For millions of Americans, the economic debate has been reduced to terms even Washington cannot obfuscate: the price of food, the mortgage nobody can qualify for, the insurance premium that arrives like a subpoena. The distance between a paycheck and the obligations waiting for it has been shrinking for four straight years while the people responsible insisted everything was fine. It was not fine. The reason has a name, a date, and a price tag, all of which the last administration would prefer you forget.
Black Democrats Refuse to Be the Useful
Idiots of the Marxists

After last Tuesday's primary contest in Michigan, where Marxist/Islamist candidate Abdul El-Sayed won the Democrat nomination for U.S. Senate, there was much prognostication. It was a race barely won, and if it had not been for a third candidate, who had since dropped out, El-Sayed would probably not have been successful. It was certainly not the supposed blowout that everyone had predicted for the Democratic Socialists (Marxists) of America-supported candidate. However, the real story behind that race, which has been a consistent theme, is that black Democrat voters do not want to be the "useful idiots"
Employers Using J1 Student Visas for Seasonal
Work Pay NO Social Security Taxes

I did not know this until I saw it mentioned on X (formerly Twitter). When a company hires J1 student temporary or season employees, they do not have to pay the 7.5% FICA or Social Security tax on the wages. If a company hires a seasonal American student, they have to pay the 7.5%. If the company hires a foreign student, they don’t. This creates a perverse incentive for private equity firms, companies or corporations to hire foreign seasonal workers. This is true, I checked it out. Apparently, this is now the common approach within the hospitality industry to save money and increase profit from payrolls. Unfortunately,
