A top Food and Drug Administration (FDA) official called for introspection, humility and transformation at the agency in an email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) following a report by career staff that the deaths of ten children may be attributed to the COVID-19 vaccine.

“At least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination,” FDA Chief Medical Officer and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Director Vinay Prasad said in an email sent to staff Friday afternoon.

“For the first time, the US FDA will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children,” Prasad said. “Healthy young children who faced tremendously low risk of death were coerced, at the behest of the Biden administration, via school and work mandates, to receive a vaccine that could result in death. In many cases, such mandates were harmful. It is difficult to read cases where kids aged 7 to 16 may be dead as a result of covid vaccines.”

The finding — and the fact it would not have been uncovered without President Donald Trump’s appointee, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, at the helm — provokes important questions about the direction and culture of the agency, wrote Prasad, Makary’s handpicked deputy.

“Why did it take until 2025 to perform this analysis, and take necessary further actions? Deaths were reported between 2021 and 2024, and ignored for years,” he wrote.

The report on suspected COVID vaccine deaths in children has not been released. An HHS spokesperson did not immediately respond to a DCNF request for comment.

The report amounts to a wake-up call, Prasad said. He called for a transformation of his own center’s mission, a crusade likely to face severe counterwinds from the pharmaceutical industry and some of the agency’s longtime vaccine reviewers. He also issued an ultimatum to these staffers.
“Never again will the US FDA commissioner have to himself find deaths in children for staff to identify it,” he wrote. “Some staff may not agree with these core principles and operating principles. Please submit your resignation letters to your supervisor.”

Earlier this year Prasad assigned career staff at the FDA Office of Biostatistics and Pharmacovigilance (OBPV) to assess reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a surveillance program tracing vaccine side effects, according to the email. Prior to joining the FDA, Makary and Prasad tracked reports of vaccine-induced myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle — which occurs most frequently in young, healthy boys and men.

FDA officials assessed whether the COVID vaccine caused the deaths reported in VAERS against a subjective scale ranging from certain to unlikely, Prasad wrote. The ten detected deaths had “likely, probable or possible” attribution. Only highly motivated physicians complete the tedious process to submit VAERS reports, thus the figure is likely an underestimate, Prasad said. The COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers were due to conduct more safety studies, but FDA has not enforced its own requirements.

The FDA cannot answer the question of whether the COVID-19 vaccine killed more healthy kids than it saved because it lacks reliable data on the absolute risk reduction in severe disease and death in healthy children, Prasad said.
“The truth is we do not know if we saved lives on balance,” he wrote. “It is horrifying to consider that the US vaccine regulation, including our actions, may have harmed more children than we saved. This requires humility and introspection.”

“I suspect the answer is cultural and systemic,” he continued. “I have no doubt that many vaccines have saved millions of lives globally, and many have benefits that far exceed risks, but vaccines are like any other medical product. The right drug given to the right patient at the right time is great, but the same drug can be inappropriately given, causing harm. The same is true for vaccines.”

Prasad said the FDA should not lower its standards with the goal of further incentivizing the growth of the $30 billion vaccine market, pointing to the enormous profits of the COVID-19 vaccines and the fact that vaccines do not face generic competition.

Other forthcoming changes at CBER include changes to vaccine approvals in pregnant women, requiring more clinical trials rather than relying on laboratory studies testing antibody levels, revamping the annual flu vaccine rollout and studying the impact of administering multiple vaccines at the same time.
Prasad’s email amounts to a scathing critique of his predecessor, former CBER Director Peter Marks, who in 2021 pushed the agency to approve annual COVID boosters even for the young and healthy and to issue a full approval of the COVID vaccines, paving the way for higher-ups in the Biden White House to issue vaccine mandates, according to a 2024 congressional investigation. Marks’ push prompted the resignations of the agency’s two top vaccine reviewers, Marion Gruber and Philip Krause, who later told congressional investigators that they felt pressure to cut corners.
“Some have felt the CBER director should override reviewers to approve gene therapies that do not work because of patient demand. When these products later result in post market deaths, it is difficult to take corrective action. I favor approving products with benefits that exceed risks,” Prasad wrote.
Prasad’s changes tackle the post-pandemic plummet in public confidence in the FDA. Just 37% of Americans trust the FDA to act independently without outside influence, according to an August 2025 Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Just 27% of Americans rated the work of the FDA as “excellent” or “good” in an October 2025 Gallup poll.
Still, the mission has been rocky for Prasad, who faces opposition both from career staff who bristle at his criticism of the status quo and biotech investors wary of stricter standards.
His tenure was disrupted and prematurely ended when the White House fired him following a smear campaign by the Wall Street Journal editorial board and right-wing influencer Laura Loomer. That smear campaign coincided with the FDA temporarily halting shipments of Elevidys, a Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene therapy made by Sarepta Therapeutics. Prasad resumed his position after Makary and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lobbied the White House to reinstate him, according to press reports.
The FDA did not pull Elevidys from the market but added a black boxed warning to the drug limiting the therapy to ambulatory patients four years of age and older on Nov. 14.
Prasad has been routinely undermined by leaks.
In the summer of 2025, Tracy Beth Hoeg, a senior advisor for clinical sciences to Makary and Prasad, began investigating the VAERS reports. She soon concluded the deaths attributable to COVID vaccination were real, according to Prasad’s email. Hoeg organized a meeting to discuss her research with the FDA’s OBPV and Office of Vaccines Research and Review; however, details were soon leaked to the press.
“Some staff present who leaked portrayed the incident as Dr. Hoeg attempting to create a false fear regarding vaccines,” Prasad wrote.
Prasad lambasted the leaks in the email.
“I have no doubt that individuals who are providing media outlets with slides, emails and personal anecdotes believe they are doing the right thing,” he said. “Unfortunately, this behavior is both unethical, illegal, and, as this case illustrates, factually incorrect.”

‘Civic responsibility’: Indiana to require universities prove programs actively ‘promote’ American values

Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

S""

Public colleges and universities in Indiana will soon have to prove to the state that new degree programs demonstrate a commitment to upholding American values before implementation.

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education is implementing a new process for program proposals that requires schools prove a course’s curriculum cultivates “civic responsibility” and promotes a “commitment to the core values of American society” in order to gain approval from the commission, according to Indiana Public Media. Schools in the state have already cut nearly 20% of programs due to low enrollment and completion, removing courses such as Purdue University Fort Wayne’s “Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.”

Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Braun has taken major steps to keep higher education institutions in check, convincing all 15 of the state’s public colleges and universities to keep tuition rates flat after petitioning the commission to recommend a 0% price increase. The commission’s latest move seems to be inspired by Braun’s plan for higher education.

The governor told the Daily Caller News Foundation in July that leftist programming at many institutions has pushed companies to stop requiring post-secondary degrees, believing they no longer carry the same weight they once did. Now, the state is set on ensuring college degrees are worth their price.

In January, Gov. Braun signed an executive order banning the taxpayer funding of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and initiatives at all state agencies. Specifically, the state now prohibits any “training, instruction, procedures, or programming” that endorses “preferential treatment of one person’s particular race, color, ethnicity or national origin, over that of another person.”

Recently, Indiana’s University of Notre Dame tried to reduce its Catholic heritage, rewriting its staff values to exclude a requirement for employees to understand and accept “the Catholic mission of the university.” After harsh backlash, the university backtracked and has made “Catholic Mission” the first of its five core values.

‘Destroy justice as we know it’: Government official calls for cancellation of Magna Carta’s jury-trial standard

Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

S""

Justice Secretary David Lammy is pushing a sweeping overhaul of England’s and Wales’ criminal courts that would strip thousands of defendants of their right to be tried by a jury.

The proposal would reserve jury trials for only the most serious crimes—rape, murder, manslaughter—or for cases that pass a narrow “public interest” test, while routing most other serious charges to new judge-only courts, according to internal government documents obtained by the BBC. The leaked Ministry of Justice (MoJ) briefing shows Lammy, who also serves as deputy prime minister, wants Parliament to authorize a new “Crown Court Bench Division.”

This new middle tier would sit between local magistrate-level courts and the traditional Crown Courts, handling cases that carry sentences of up to five years. A single judge would decide these cases without a jury, effectively removing jurors from the vast majority of offenses that currently go before a Crown Court as Lammy’s team said the change is necessary to ease overwhelming court backlogs.

Crown Courts are now dealing with more than 78,000 pending cases, the largest backlog on record, and officials warn that number could climb past 100,000 before the decade ends. Some defendants charged today might not see trial until late 2029 or early 2030.

Lammy wants to go further than Sir Brian Leveson, the retired appellate judge whose recommendations laid the groundwork for the proposal, according to the MoJ document. Leveson suggested eliminating juries for offenses carrying up to three-year sentences. Lammy wants to push that ceiling to five years and add a provision allowing a judge to decide on a jury-less trial in long, highly technical fraud cases.

Under Lammy’s plan, only defendants facing charges of rape, murder, manslaughter, or cases deemed to have significant public interest would automatically keep their right to a jury. Everyone else—including defendants accused of violent crimes, armed robbery, and serious financial offenses—could be routed into judge-only trials.

The briefing also claims the proposal “will not compromise the right to a fair trial,” saying that “there is no right to a jury trial” under British law. Officials say Lammy has already begun the internal government approval process, with an announcement expected in December and legislation planned for early 2026 if the plan moves ahead.

The Ministry of Justice tried to downplay the leak, insisting no final decision has been made. An MoJ spokesperson told BBC the court system is in crisis and requires “bold action” to fix it. Opposition piled up quickly, with Riel Karmy-Jones KC—one of Britain’s senior “King’s Counsel” barristers and head of the Criminal Bar Association—warning the proposal won’t work.

“The consequences of their actions will be to destroy a criminal justice system that has been the pride of this country for centuries, and to destroy justice as we know it,” Karmy-Jones KC said. “Juries are not the cause of the backlog. The cause is the systematic underfunding and neglect that has been perpetrated by this government and its predecessors for years.”

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch slammed the plan as an assault on a core British principle.

“Juries are not just part of our tradition. They put ordinary men and women of every walk of life at the heart of justice,” Badenoch wrote on X. “Labour wants to shred this basic right, replacing the common sense of the jury box with rule by lawyers.”

The pundit war: The enemy strategy is to make conservatives fight

Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

Read Hanne’s The Herland Report.

What a brilliant strategy of the enemy to make conservative commentators fight amongst themselves, rather than explain to the Marxist indoctrinated, derailed young Americans what conservative values are all about. The devil must be laughing in hell, and the likes of George Soros definitively must be funding some of these pundits who keep spewing strife and division instead of grace, respect and unity.

Of course, we differ in opinions on a variety of subjects. It does not make us enemies that we see the world differently. It is rather a sign of a free society. The whole point of free speech is to allow educated, expert participants in public debates to discuss issues that concern the state, in order to arrive at elevated conclusions. So long as we do it within the bounds of civility, good manners and with respect for other, topics should be debated however harsh the arguments would be.

Rationality should govern intelligent debates, not the left-wing manipulative strategy of personal insults, twisting someone’s message for clickbait, demonizing the opponent, inflaming the toxic spew that leads to civil strife, one fan base against another. Most of the time, both parties are actually right on some level, each commentator sees a perspective that may be a part of the bigger picture. It may be one of the many elements that should be considered in the best interest of the nation. If it is completely wrong, the rational debate will pull it down.

Intellectuals pose critical questions to the government to highlight potential abuse of power. To silence discussions by requiring condemnation of commentators is the typical Marxist-socialist way of shutting down free speech by isolating, censoring and “killing” the one that represents views that powerful elites do not like. In my opinion, the Megyn Kelly approach is highly constructive. She brilliantly refuses to enter the trenches of conservative civil warfare.

Furthermore, it is easier to have an expert opinion about topics that you have firsthand knowledge about, either from a comprehensive education in the subjects or living in that particular culture. The same commentator who brilliantly explains the innermost, intricate complexities of the American political context, may be dead wrong once he or she relies on compromised, propagandized third-party source information about foreign countries abroad that he or she has little real knowledge about. Then it is better to shut up.

The current discord among Republican commentators is inflamed by who said what about whom and should be condemned by whom, while the important mission gets lost in the fog of the pundit war: The point was to reeducate Americans about the historic values of the Constitution and show the way out of the current Marxist pitfalls.

Today, many young Americans – and Westerners in general – have no idea what conservative values are. For decades, they have been indoctrinated by atheist socialism to hate traditional, historic values in schools, colleges and universities. Google search engines, Wikipedia, the media and their algorithms steadfastly twist and openly suppress authors who support the historic values that once made the West the world’s greatest civilization.

Vice President JD Vance was spot-on when he called on the MAGA movement to reunify during a fireside chat with Breitbart News. It is of utmost importance to remember who the enemy is. “I think we have to remember we have a lot more in common than we do not in common,” Vance said.

While conservatives fight, the radical left madness of gender dysphoria continues with its hedonism that produces meaninglessness, nihilism and loneliness. In America, over 50 percent now live alone. The godlessness of the Marxist gospel has spread like venom into the minds of the young, preaching that God is dead and that man’s soul is existentially alone in a dark world, without hope. The scale of this cultural tragedy is unprecedented. The radical atheists have meticulously worked to deprive our culture of a meaningful life connected to God, the source of wisdom, and by so doing depriving humans of inner peace. We need the wisdom of self-discipline and hard work, reliability, trustworthiness and the benefits of faithfulness in a loving marriage.

The ideals that should be taught to the American public is much of what Dr. Jordan Peterson speaks about: Make your bed in the morning, dress well and you will feel better, don’t do drugs, avoid caving in to self-destructive urges, be honest, seek justice, be trustworthy and praise God for the gift of life. Work hard and participate constructively in rebuilding the nation, equipped with the relentless pursuit of that which is good, just and beautiful.

‘My baby has passed to glory’: Father of murdered National Guard soldier mourns loss

Sarah Beckstrom

Gary Beckstrom, the father of fallen American hero Sarah Beckstrom, a member of the West Virginia National Guard who was shot and killed by a terrorist in Washington, D.C., led a long list of memorials to her, the day after she died.

“My baby girl has passed to glory,” he posted on social media. “If I don’t talk to you don’t be offend[ed] this has been a horrible tragedy.”

Dozens of comments, expressing love and prayers for the family, followed.

She was shot, along with Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, who remains hospitalized, allegedly by a migrant from Afghanistan who had been allowed into this country by the Biden administration.

The two had been deployed to Washington for “Operation DC Safe and Beautiful” to fight rising crime.

They were ambushed in broad daylight.

According to the Gateway Pundit, The two heroes had volunteered to work that day so others could be home with their families for Thanksgiving.”

Pam Bondi, the U.S. attorney general, explained, “She volunteered to be there on Thanksgiving — working today — she volunteers, as did many of those guardsmen and women so other people could be home with their families.”

The suspect in the shooting, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, an Afghan national who came to the U.S. under a program set up by Joe Biden, is facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder.

‘It’s that simple’: Democrats’ attacks on U.S. military aimed at restoring open borders, lawmaker charges

Democrats’ multiple and ongoing attacks on the U.S. military, including the recent video from six Democrats in Congress telling soldiers to disobey President Trump’s “illegal orders” without identifying any, is part of a scheme to return America to Joe Biden’s “open borders” agenda.

That’s the concern of Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Wisconsin Republican who earlier was integral in exposing how the Biden administration lost track of hundreds of thousands of migrant children who arrived illegally at America’s border and were allowed in.

A report at Just the News explains Grothman charged, “They want to get out in front and make sure we don’t enforce their immigration laws. It’s that simple.”

He continued, in his interview on the “Just the News, No Noise,” television show, “We’ve got a situation [in which] about four times as many people every year are becoming new citizens compared to when you and I were children. I mean, way more people becoming citizens legally.

“But the Democrat Party – and this is a sign they want to destroy America – they want our immigration laws not enforced, and they want to make sure that our National Guard, whatever, does not enforce them.”

He later added, after two members of the National Guard were shot by a terrorist in Washington:

“My prayers are with the National Guard members who were tragically killed in this horrific act of violence, and with their families during this unimaginable time. There is absolutely no place for this in our country. These guardsmen were simply doing their duty: protecting the American people and our nation’s capital. I’m grateful for every individual who serves and stands guard to keep our communities safe,” he said.

Grothman had used a House subcommittee earlier to reveal the Biden administration negligence in losing track of migrant children who came to the U.S. without their parents.

The report noted he and other members of the GOP have been investigating the illegal results of unchecked illegal immigration, such as its unfair impact on American voters through unbalanced apportionment, their demands for programs requiring taxpayer dollars and more.

He warned the Democrats will return to an open borders agenda immediately if they return to positions to make those decisions.

The problem, he said, encompasses not just members of Congress, but also governors, mayors, people in sanctuary cities and more.

And it won’t go well, he warned.

“If the Democrats take over again, go back to this idea of 2 million or 3 million people a year crossing the border, it’s the end of the United States. But again, look at all the high-profile Democrats, in essence, saying we do not want our immigration laws enforced.”

The six members of Congress who made the viral video now are under investigation, Sen. Mark Kelly by the Department of War since he’s subject to recall to active duty, the other five by the FBI.

WATCH: Lefty Democrat candidate Aftyn Behn’s ‘greatest hits’

Democrat Aftyn Behn sobs on the floor after being dragged out of Tennessee governor’s office

Democratic Tennessee congressional candidate Aftyn Behn has entered the spotlight over her dramatic behavior, her far-left agenda and her admitted hatred for the state she hopes to represent.

Behn is running to become the next representative for Tennessee’s 7th district in a special election on Tuesday, which is being held due to former Republican Tennessee Rep. Mark Green’s resignation. Both new and resurfaced footage has revealed that Behn has shown deep disdain for her potential constituents, condemned women for being wives and mothers and even got dragged out of a sitting governor’s office for rushing in without permission.

In April 2019, Behn and Enough is Enough-Tennessee, an activist group she was part of, engaged in a sit-in outside of Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee’s office and demanded to speak with him about supporting the resignation of then-Republican Tennessee state Rep. David Byrd, who faced sexual misconduct allegations. Footage showed Behn rushing into Lee’s office and immediately being dragged out by officers while she screamed and sobbed.

WATCH:

State troopers warned that the women would be arrested if they did not leave the building, prompting several of them to follow orders. However, Behn and a few others remained in the building.

A month later, Behn walked into the chamber in the Tennessee state Legislature and shouted that Byrd and then-House Speaker Glen Casada must resign.

“I’m here today on behalf of communities that you have silenced today in this legislative session,” Behn shouted. “You have been violent to our various communities this entire legislative session. You have stopped any accountability! You have been taken out! You have been violent and extreme towards people of color, towards women, towards minorities! You have failed! This is unacceptable behavior! You shouldn’t do this! This is the worst administration!”

Security then escorted her out of the chamber, cited her and released her from police custody later that day, News Channel 5 Nashville reported in 2019.

WATCH:

Behn stated that she hates everything about Nashville, which is partially located in the 7th district that she hopes to represent. She complained about the country music, the bachelorettes, the pedal taverns and everything else that makes Nashville distinct from other parts of the U.S.

“I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently an ‘it’ city to the rest of the country. But I hate it,” Behn said on the “Year old GRITS” podcast in February 2020.

The congressional candidate further labeled Tennessee as a “racist state” in an op-ed for the Tennessean in March 2019. She wrote, “Let me be clear: Tennessee is a racist state. Racism is in the air we breathe, permeating the State Capitol, codified in the legislation being passed at the detriment of women, communities of color, and the working poor. Our problem with racism in this state is wild and untamed.”

Behn pushed for training programs to show women how to perform an abortion at home during a May 2022 interview with The Tennessee Holler. She also promised that she would help women find ways to get access to abortion pills.

“What is the positive if there is a silver lining? What this does not mean for Tennessee is that groups on the ground will continue to provide training in terms of self-managed abortions, and so, instead of going to a doctor because we won’t have any doctors that provide abortions, how do you do it at home? We will continue to support reproductive justice organizations and grassroots movements and we’ll continue to figure out how to get abortion pills to people. So the organizing does not stop just because Roe is overturned,” Behn said.

WATCH:

During a House race forum, Behn vowed to carry a “trans bill of rights” at every legislative session. She lamented how children identifying as transgender are in danger and that she supported resources for transgender people.

“Every legislative session, I promise to carry a trans bill of rights so that we can push back against the far right narrative that is being emanated by Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire, who have set up their homes in Nashville. And I promise to do that. I promise to fight for our trans community,” Behn said.

WATCH:

The far-left candidate supports taxpayer funded surgeries and procedures for trans-identifying kids. In June, she condemned the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Tennessee’s ban on trans surgeries for minors, claiming in a statement that the ruling was “pushing us farther into a dangerous future where politics — rather than science— dictates the lives of our most vulnerable.”

During the “Year old GRITS” episode in 2020, Behn also claimed that men can give birth.

“I think we have as birthers… men and women who can give birth… we can maybe leverage that as collective bargaining which is the basis of this book that I’ve just started reading called ‘Birth Strike,’” Behn said.

Behn accused women who get married and have children of engaging in “deeply patriarchal structures.” She said that she dreams of standing up in a cafeteria full of women and saying, ‘I don’t want children! I want power!”

“My therapist always asks me to transcribe my dreams when they happen. And the recurring dream I’ve had is standing up in a Cafeteria full of women, I don’t know why we were there, and saying ‘I don’t want children. I want power!’ And just screaming it at the top of my lungs. And for someone who grew up with my mother telling me, ‘never have kids because you’ll have to give up a lot.’ You’ll have to sacrifice professionally is what she’s saying and where I am now with seeing the consequences and ramifications of women having kids in the political field and what they’re able to achieve … but also the deeply patriarchal structures that these women are involved with because they’ve chosen marriage and they’ve chosen to raise children.”

In another interview, Behn said that sororities at southern colleges are “a staple of white supremacy.”

The Tennessee Democrat complained during the “Red State Blue Moon” podcast in June 2024 that she is “deeply uncomfortable” by every state legislative session in the Tennessee House opening up with a prayer.

In 2020, Behn wrote in now-deleted X posts that the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department should be dissolved, that defunding the police should be a requirement for reopening schools and suggested that burning down police stations is justified. She refused to walk back these comments during an interview on MS NOW Sunday.

‘America’s enemies’: Expert calls for Alibaba to be tossed off of New York Stock Exchange

Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

Alibaba’s Jack Ma

A recognized expert on China has written in a column at the Gatestone Institute explaining that Alibaba, the Chinese version of megacompany Amazon, should be unceremoniously booted from the New York Stock Exchange.

“In these circumstances, it is strategically wrong to support any element of a system that is assaulting the free world in general and the United States in particular,” explained China expert Gordon Chang. “It is also morally wrong to do so. It is time to delist Alibaba and all other Chinese companies from American stock exchanges and to prohibit Americans from doing business with any of them. All of them are America’s enemies.”

Alibaba, in fact, had a market value of some $231 billion when its IPO in 2014 raised $25 billion.

It is in the top few dozen companies worldwide. It is into technology, e-commerce, retail, Internet and more.

It provides consumer-to-consumer, business-to-consumer, and business-to-business operations.

It owns and operates a long list of other corporations.

It is into capital investments and artificial intelligence.

However, Chang wrote in the Gatestone Institute column that, “Alibaba provides tech support for Chinese military ‘operations’ against targets in the U.S.”

He said, at least, that’s what a White House memo charged, according to the Financial Times.

“The Chinese giant reportedly provided ‘access to customer data that includes IP addresses, WiFi information and payment records, as well as different AI-related services,’” he explained, “Whether the FT report is accurate or not—it sounds accurate—it is time to delist Alibaba from the New York Stock Exchange and remove all other Chinese companies from U.S. stock listings. All of them are integral parts of a hostile regime assaulting America.”

While China’s embassy in Washington denied the memo’s information, Chang explained its denials “cannot possibly be true.”

“There are no real privacy protections in China’s total surveillance society ” Chang explained. “The Communist Party of China runs a unitary state and demands absolute obedience from all individuals, businesses, and institutions in the country. Businesses operate as separate entities and report to separate controlling government bodies, but they are not separate. Washington must stop assuming that Chinese society is organized the same way as America’s.”

He charged that any and all Chinese entities, government or commercial, should “be treated as one single organization, the way the Party views them.”

After all, the Chinese Communist Party “has access to everything any Chinese company, state-owned or privately owned, or Chiense institution possesses.”

And that party “has declared the United States to be its enemy,” he said.

He noted the opinion from Richard Fisher, of the International Assessment and Strategy Center, who said, “The Chinese Communist Party has exceeded the extreme lengths taken by the Soviet Communist Party to integrate and subordinate its ‘civilian economy’ to serve the larger goals of its ‘military economy.’ All Chinese companies, factories, universities, and local governments either directly or indirectly support the military.”

“Did Alibaba in fact support the Chinese military as the White House memo charges? Only those with access to classified information know,” Chang wrote. “Yet the truth of the White House’s charge does not matter. What matters is that Alibaba is part of the Communist Party’s system.”

President Donald Trump on Friday launched a bomb at the legacy of Joe Biden, declaring that all of the documents signed by the autopen in the White House, unless they specifically were authorized by Biden, now are “terminated.”

Trump long has challenged the validity of many of the announcements that came out of the White House during Biden’s last few months, at a time when evidence of a decline in Biden’s cognitive abilities was publicly available.

Trump even posted a photograph of the autopen in place of Biden’s image in a hall of presidential portraits.

In fact, evidence now has come available that Biden staffers routinely used the autopen, and it appears sometimes Biden was not fully participatory in those decisions.

They involve pardons, executive orders and much more.

Trump wrote, “Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States.

“The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally.” Trump said.

He even warned, “Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Trump’s determination already is backed by a congressional report that concluded Biden’s aides arranged for the autopen signings of executive actions, directed policy and orchestrated his public appearances, literally exercising presidential authorities without his knowledge or consent, as his cognitive decline advanced.

The 90-page report, “The Biden Autopen President: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House,” charged that Biden’s close associates actually ran the government during his final months in office.

U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chief of the House Oversight Committee, concluded the findings have raised “constitutional and criminal concerns” about actions “Biden” took while in office.

A report at Fox News said the committee has demanded a complete investigation into the autopen signatures that Biden’s associates arranged.

“Faced with the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden, White House aides — at the direction of the inner circle — hid the truth about the former president’s condition and fitness for office,” charged the report. And there was a “haphazard documentation process” for pardons made by Biden.

The committee said those procedures “left room for doubt over whether the former president made those decisions himself,” the report said. In fact, the report simply said those actions now are “void.”

“In the absence of sufficient contemporaneous documentation indicating that cognitively deteriorating President Biden himself made a given executive decision, such decisions do not carry the force of law and should be considered void,” committee members concluded.

“The Department of Justice should immediately conduct a review of all executive actions taken by President Biden between January 20, 2021, and January 19, 2025. Given the patterns and findings detailed herein, this review should focus particularly on all acts of clemency. However, it should also include all other types of executive actions.”

Further, the report raised concerns about Hunter Biden’s influence, since former Biden chief of staff Jeff Zients has told investigators he was in the room for many discussions, including the preemptive pardons issued to Biden’s family.

Comer’s report said, “Zients testified that President Biden included his son, Hunter Biden, in the decision-making process for and meetings about pardons. This apparently included the meeting to discuss the pardons of five Biden family members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the members of Congress who served on the Select Subcommittee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol, and their staff.”

A Biden regime spokesperson told Fox News Digital the investigation was “baseless,” even though 14 witnesses testified to Oversight, mostly top Biden aides.

Even during that testimony, Comer suggested, the aides were hiding things.

“Throughout the Committee’s investigation, senior Biden White House aides presented a perspective of President Biden’s cognitive health completely disconnected from that of the American public,” the report said. “Not one of the Committee’s 14 witnesses was willing to admit that they ever had a concern about President Biden being in cognitive decline. In fact, numerous witnesses could not recall having a single conversation about President Biden’s cognitive health with anyone inside or outside of the White House.”

According to a report in the Washington Examiner, Comer’s report found, “Biden’s aides misled the American people and hijacked the powers of the presidency. … Executive actions performed by Biden White House staff and signed by autopen are null and void.”

For example, the committee found 32 of 51 clemency warrants were signed by autopen, “without any contemporaneous documentation linking Biden to those discussions,” leaving no evidence the president agreed to the actions.

The Examiner explained, “A Jan. 19 episode detailed in the report describes a ‘game of telephone’ in which chief of staff Jeff Zients authorized the autopen for a final batch of pardons, including for his son Hunter Biden and four other family members, as well as Anthony Fauci, and Gen. Mark Milley, based only on secondhand accounts of a meeting he never attended. An aide emailed approval from Zients’s account, initialed ‘JZ,’ without confirming with Biden directly, according to the report.”

The report also criticized ex-White House physician Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s longtime doctor, “noting that he had ‘business dealings with and financial connections to President Biden’s family.’ Investigators said those ties, combined with political incentives to keep Biden viable for reelection, created ‘a motive to conceal the president’s decline while running the government in his stead,’” the Examiner explained.

Comer’s report also revealed former aides confirmed an entire system of pre-scripted press cards, controlled questions, teleprompter use, schematics outlining the number of steps he would take and the time he would use during any public appearance.

Democrats on the Oversight Committee cited Biden’s own statements rejecting evidence he was unaware of decisions, and said the Republican report is conjecture.

Oversight report: Biden aides exercised presidential authority, so autopen actions are ‘VOID’!
