FDA approves Gates-backed bird flu vaccine trial: ‘Disaster waiting to happen’

The FDA has approved the first phase of human trials for a self-amplifying mRNA bird flu vaccine developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, funded by the US government and the Gates Foundation.
This vaccine, targeting the H5N1 virus, introduces an enzyme prompting cells to produce more mRNA, leading to sustained antigen production, which experts warn could lead to prolonged immune activation and unknown health risks.
Epidemiologist Dr. Nicolas Hulscher described the FDA’s approval as an opportunity for Arcturus to “experiment with injecting humans with H5N1 bird flu replicon mRNA.”
The clinical study is funded by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a division of HHS focused on pandemic preparedness.
Arcturus also recently received a $928,563 grant from the Gates Foundation, which has long supported mRNA research.
“After the rollout of the first global genetic experiment with mRNA technology … it seems unbelievable that an even more aggressive attack on our body and genetics should be tried out.”
Arcturus claims self-amplifying mRNA vaccines can provide immunity with smaller doses. However, Hulscher warned that even a small dose might be more hazardous due to the vaccine’s self-replicating nature, as the extent of antigen production cannot be precisely measured or controlled.
“The difference between medicine and poison is dose — and you cannot dose the mRNA vaccines.”

Censored Del Bigtree
In America, we have the freedom to say, read or believe most anything, no matter how distasteful or false some may claim it to be— except that which is illegal. But in recent times, the heavy hand of censorship has become a sledgehammer.
Today we speak about Covid censorship with Del Bigtree. He heads up the nonprofit consumer group Informed Consent Action Network.
Exploited Children: Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson
Donald Trump was elected in part on the promise of ending the border crisis that’s brought in a record number of illegal immigrants… including huge numbers of children.
In August, the Inspector General seemed to confirm the worst, issuing an urgent report saying the government has lost track of more than 32,000 of these children over the last five years. Some have been trafficked into the hands of criminals and gangs.
Today, we hear from a whistleblower who says the government has been sending vulnerable kids to live with sponsors vetted through little more than an honor system.
Nuclear Downwinders
You might not have heard much about it, but America is in the middle of a once in a generation effort to upgrade our nuclear weapons. One that could cost taxpayers as much as 1.7 trillion dollars.
Some are also now suggesting it might be time to restart nuclear testing too.
Scott Thuman reports on downwinders suffering the fallout from our original nuclear tests.
Steve Baker Pleads Guilty to J6 Charges — Will Trump PARDON Him & Other J6’rs?
Blaze Media correspondent Steve Baker and his attorney Bill Shipley join The Glenn Beck Program to explain why Baker pleaded guilty to 4 misdemeanor counts connected to his presence at the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot.
Steve has argued the entire time that he was there as a journalist and did not act violently, and also that the government isn’t going after the other 80 or so journalists who were there.
He pled guilty, he explains, because he believes that the court wanted to make an example out of him: “The trial is nothing more than a shaming exercise if you’re not going to be allowed to present your own case.” Baker and Shipley also discuss the possibility of Donald Trump pardoning J6 defendants when he takes office.
Defective ballot fight heats up amid U.S. Senate recount

The state and national Republican parties told local officials to scrap defective ballots as the U.S. Senate race recount gets underway on Monday.
In a letter to the election boards in Bucks and Montgomery counties, party chairs said “enough is enough” and accused commissioners there of bolstering U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr.’s “election denial” by violating a state Supreme Court ruling.
The tense words come after both counties agreed to count ballots with incorrect or missing dates despite state law deeming such votes invalid.
The 4-3 ruling issued in September reversed a lower court decision that said tossing misdated ballots, as stipulated in state law, was unconstitutional. In the opinion, the majority rejected weighing in because the underlying legal challenge was only filed against two of the state’s 67 counties, Allegheny and Philadelphia.
Since the case’s merits were not litigated, the plaintiffs – including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Public Interest Law Center – are free to refile the complaint.
During a Nov. 14 election board hearing, Bucks County Commission Chairwoman Diane Ellis-Marseglia reiterated her disagreement with the high court’s decision before voting to count roughly 400 ballots with dating errors…
Desperate Pennsylvania Dems Cling To The Lie That Casey Can Still Win

The Associated Press called the Pennsylvania Senate race on Nov. 7 for Republican David McCormick, ending Democrat Sen. Bob Casey’s long, uneventful career in the Senate.
At that time, not all the votes were counted, but McCormick was up by more than 30,000 votes and, although the results were close, there was no mathematical path to victory for Casey.
But Casey refused to gracefully accept the loss and concede. As more results trickled in, the margin between the candidates dropped below a half percent, triggering a mandatory recount, as prescribed in state law.
This election law, Democrats have decided to follow.
As the loser candidate, Casey had the option of declining the recount and accepting the loss. Instead, this longtime steward of your hard-earned money has opted to spend more than $1 million in Pennsylvania’s taxpayer’s money to drag out the drama.
Before Election Day, The Federalist reported the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered that, as the state election code dictates, mail-in ballots arriving in an envelope with no date or the wrong date should not be counted for the 2024 election.
The matter has been debated in the court for several years, but the court ruling gave counties a uniform way to handle the issue for the election — simply follow state law.
This election law, Democrats have decided not to follow.
In public meetings last week, county election boards in Bucks, Centre, Philadelphia, and Montgomery Counties decided to count these and other improperly marked ballots anyway; laws be dammed. By flouting the law, they hold voters in their counties to a different set of rules than the rest of the state.
This is anarchy. Democrat-led counties have changed the rules in hopes of hanging on to their candidate in Democrat strongholds….
Due To Staffer Error, Dem-Controlled Pennsylvania Board Tosses 142 Ballots In Trump Stronghold

The Democrat-led Luzerne County Election Board voted Friday to reject 142 mail-in ballots from a Donald Trump-voting stronghold in Pennsylvania after staffers screwed up the ballot processing.
The votes came from the 119th Legislative District, a portion of Lucerne County. This year, Trump received 90,370 votes in Luzerne County, while Vice President Kamala Harris received 59,966 votes. Trump flipped the county red by double digits in 2016.
But his 20-point lead in 2024 isn’t as large as it could be because 142 ballots were disqualified because an election worker mixed them in with others.
If the margin were tighter, these tossed ballots also could have affected the recount between Republican Senate candidate David McCormick and Democrat candidate Bob Casey.
Election workers were supposed to segregate thousands of mail-in ballots that arrived on Election Day because the county had sent roughly 7,000 new ballots out to voters after it discovered the original ballots had a spelling error.
The ballots had to be segregated because “the board had intended to revisit the original ones and accept them if the voters never returned a new one,” according to Times Leader.
Only one ballot can be counted. Then an election worker made a mistake that made this original plan impossible.
On Election Day 1,301 mail-in ballots were mistakenly opened and separated from their outer envelopes, according to Times Leader. The outer envelope includes identifying information about the voter…
Critical undersea internet cable severed amid fears of Russian sabotage

A critical underwater internet cable linking Finland to Germany has been severed, sparking fears of Russian sabotage.
The incident happened in the vicinity of the Swedish island of Gotland, in the Baltic Sea, early on Monday morning.
Cinia, the Finnish state-owned data service provider, said a repair ship had been sent to investigate the cause of the outage, which has hit the only cable connecting the country to central Europe.
Finland’s communications agency said most internet users would not notice Monday’s outage, with the country able to fall back on cables running through other parts of the continent.
The company said that, while there was no indication that the damage was sabotage, it was likely to have been the result of human activity.
“At the moment, there is no way to assess the cause of the cable break, but such breaks without external impact do not happen in these waters,” said Ari-Jussi Knaapila, the chief executive of Cinia….
Swedish Govt Sends Out Millions Of Pamphlets Instructing Citizens To Prepare For Possible War And Disaster Scenarios
The Swedish government has begun sending out Cold War style pamphlets, urging its citizens to prepare for possible war and disasters after the Biden administration authorized the Ukrainian government to utilize western supplied long-range missiles in its war with Russia, crossing Putin’s red line.
Both Sweden and Finland were previously non-aligned within the context of NATO and Russia, however, following Russia’s 2022 invasion into Ukraine, the two countries reassessed their national security protocols and decided to join the western NATO allies.
Sweden reportedly sent out five million copies of a 32-page pamphlet titled “If Crisis or War Comes” to Swedes, instructing them how to stockpile food, where to seek shelter during the event of a nuclear attack, and how to prepare for possible cyber attacks and terrorism.
“An insecure world requires preparedness. The military threat to Sweden has increased and we must prepare for the worst – an armed attack,” the pamphlet began.
“When someone wants to take the right to rule over us by force, it threatens our right to a free and independent life. There are also ways other than military force to influence and damage our country, for example cyberattacks, influence campaigns, terrorism and sabotage,” it continued. “If Sweden is attacked, we will never give up. All information about the end of the resistance is false.”
The pamphlet went on to stress the importance of the country’s ability to quickly mobilize to “face an attacker,” further informing Swedes that the threat of nuclear warfare has heightened….
Biden-Harris DOJ drops charges against illegal aliens who allegedly tried to breach US military base

One of the Jordanian nationals illegally crossed the southern border approximately a month before the incident, and the other man allegedly overstayed a student visa. Due to their illegal immigration status, the men were previously turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but they were released from federal custody.
The two men were facing misdemeanor trespassing charges after the May incident. However, in July, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia ordered their release on the condition that they attend their immigration proceedings and avoid military installations, Blaze News previously reported. They were released from detention after posting bail for their alleged crimes.
On Friday, the Washington Times reported that the Justice Department “quietly dismissed the charges” against Hamdan and Dabous.
The U.S. attorney in eastern Virginia dropped the charges in the interest of “the ends of justice,” which the Times referred to as “boilerplate language” that failed to reveal any details about the decision.
Lawyers for the two men blamed the incident on a language barrier, claiming that Dabous was attempting to complete a delivery when he failed to understand the guard’s instructions.
The Times reported that by September, it appeared prosecutors believed the event was a misunderstanding, yet they did not move to have the charges dropped until October 3.
Todd Bensman, a senior national security fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, told the Times, “This whole case is more than curious.”
“The government had many, many opportunities to dispel the notion that there was something more nefarious about this than met the eye. And they took a pass every time,” he noted.
Congress requested more information about the incident, but according to House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.), the Biden-Harris administration has been “delinquent” in answering lawmakers’ questions….
Elon Musk triumphant as IBM, Disney, and Comcast end yearlong advertising boycott on X

Big-name brands have ended their advertising boycott against Elon Musk’s X after approximately a year of refusing to support the platform.
Comcast, Discovery, Disney, IBM, Lionsgate Entertainment, and Warner Bros. have resumed their ad spending on X, with Musk thanking CEO Linda Yaccarino for her work on bringing the companies back onto his platform.
“Just want to say that we super appreciate major brands resuming advertising on our platform!” Musk wrote. “Thanks [Linda Yaccarino] and the whole X team for your hard work in restoring confidence in our platform and ensuring that advertising content only appears where advertisers want it shown.”
Without the major companies, brands like Karma Shopping and Canles Shoes became the top ad-buyers on X. Overall, ad revenue dropped by a reported 98% year over year, but Musk remained principled in his cause.
“I’ll say what I want to say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it,” Musk told CNBC at the time.
Political commentator Ian Miles Cheong called the boycott a failed effort “the moment Donald Trump won the election.”
“The censorship apparatus is coming to an end, and the advertisers know it. Beyond that, advertisers can undoubtedly see the strength of X, and depriving themselves of profits for the sake of sticking it to Elon clearly doesn’t work,” Cheong added….
Texas announces plan for advanced nuclear reactors across the state worth over $50 billion

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Public Utility Commission of Texas have identified 61 possible sites across the state for new nuclear reactors.
A recently-released state report on Advanced Nuclear Energy is hoping to bring in over $50 billion in new economic output to Texas, along with $27 billion in income for Texas workers.
Governor Abbott announced the state’s new plan, saying the plants would enhance the “reliability” of the state grid and provide “affordable, dispatchable power” to residents.
“Texas is the energy capital of the world, and we are ready to be No. 1 in advanced nuclear power,” the governor added.
The Nuclear Energy Institute defines advanced nuclear reactors as smaller, more efficient reactors that are safer to build and protect than the previous generation of reactors. Underground and underwater housing can be used for advanced reactors to greater endure natural disasters.
Advanced nuclear designs have been used for the newly popular small modular reactors being built privately across the country by the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle. States like Virginia and Maryland have become popular sites for SMRs and self-sustaining commercial campuses.
Texas is already home to two nuclear plants that generate over five gigawatts of electricity, which makes up about 10% of the state’s grid….
Pacific ‘Bomb Cyclone’ Will Usher In Strong Atmospheric River To West With Heavy Rain, Snow, High Winds

On Tuesday, low pressure will undergo what meteorologists call bombogenesis over the northern Pacific, which is where the term “bomb cyclone” originates from.
That means its pressure will have dropped by 24 or more millibars in 24 hours or less, indicative of a storm that is intensifying quickly, which can result in more significant impacts than what a weaker storm would produce.
In this case, the storm will also haul in a long-lasting atmospheric river moisture plume that is packed with copious amounts of rain and mountain snow, especially in Northern California and parts of Oregon.
Peak impacts from this soaking pattern will unfold Tuesday through Friday, possibly lingering into Saturday….
A half-dead Mitch McConnell vows to block Trump’s agenda…

The Deep State is on the ropes. Heading into this landslide victory, they likely rested easy, assuming President Trump’s new administration would be packed with RINOs, just like last time.
But they’re quickly realizing that’s not the case. What’s really sent them spiraling is Trump’s nomination of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. We haven’t seen a full-blown meltdown like this since 2016.
And it’s no wonder they’re terrified—Gaetz is Trump’s secret weapon. He’s the one who will whip the DOJ into shape and punish the tyrants who abused their power to target decent Americans for refusing to bow to the regime.
If Matt Gaetz becomes AG, the swamp will finally be drained, and that scares the hell out of the Deep State. So, the war has begun, and leading the charge against Trump’s agenda is their favorite puppet, Mitch McConnell.
After McConnell reportedly said, “There will be no recess appointments,” social media was overtaken by talk of the upcoming standoff.
Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman said, “Lines are drawn.”
“It would be sad as well as disgraceful if the Senate caved on this,” he added. “And the stakes go beyond the political, and even the constitutional. It’s an inordinate and unnecessary national security risk.”
HuffPost reporter Yashar Ali said, “McConnell will not be Senate Republican Leader soon, but he may be saying this based on conversations with his colleagues.”
However, Rick Scott, MAGA’s choice for Senate Majority Leader, who lost out to RINO John Thune, begs to differ.
The American people didn’t just elect President Trump—they sent him to the White House with a historic mandate. Trump isn’t just a president; he’s the most powerful Republican to ever exist. And if the GOP doesn’t fall in line, there will be hell to pay.
We recently published a compelling piece outlining exactly how to drain the swamp—a clear blueprint for Making America Great Again…..

Rep. Greene Reiterates Call for ‘National Divorce’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., again called for a “national divorce” as Democrat governors prepare to fight President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda.
In a post on X, Greene called out blue state governors who have said they will not allow the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.
Greene also said governors want to block Trump’s effort to “gut and cut the federal government of corruption, waste, and stifling regulations in order to reduce inflation and build an America first economy, and to stop the mentally ill and predatorial trans agenda against our kids and women’s sports.”
“I’m still in favor of a national divorce if need be,” Greene wrote. “If Democrat governors plan to commit treason against our President and the majority of Americans then let them destroy their own states. No one will want to live there. And after years of being attacked by the deranged left, most of us are so sick of their crap.”
Last year, on Presidents Day, Greene made her initial call for her a “national divorce.”
“We need to separate red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” she said. “Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”…

NASA Begs Elon Musk to ‘Clean House’ After Millions of Taxpayer Dollars Spent on DEI Initiatives

NASA has been plagued by overrun costs during the Biden Administration, exceeding its roughly $99 billion from taxpayers by about $10 billion, thanks to an aggressive focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs. As a result, NASA staff are calling on Elon Musk to ‘clean house’.
The Daily Mail writes: “Spending reports from 2020 to 2024 showed NASA awarded grants to universities and consulting firms to support ‘environmental justice’ and initiatives that ’embrace greater diversity and inclusive practices.’ LMI consulting received over $2 million in 2023 for NASA to ’embark on a venture to incorporate and deeply engrain diversity, inclusion, equity and accessibility in the culture and business.”
An additional $3 million went to Booze Allen Hamilton in March alone, to support NASA’s ‘office of diversity and equal opportunity DEI data analytic specialty,’ and $ 7 million was announced last month for six ‘minority-serving institutions.’
A former NASA employee told DailyMail.com that NASA’s DEI is ‘destroying America’s ability to compete with China in space because the Biden-Harris administration will only fund programs that feature it.’ NASA receives, on average, about 0.4 percent of what the US government spends each year, but is still given a budget of at least $20 billion.
Software engineer Kyle Sorensen told he hopes Musk will ‘clean house.’
Musk, along with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, was tapped to lead the Department of Government Efficiency that aims to ‘slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure Federal Agencies.’…

Trump Mulls Court Martials in Afghan Withdrawal

President-elect Donald Trump vowed to root out the “woke TV generals” from the U.S. military brass, and that reportedly might include court martial for top Biden administration military officials responsible for the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal.
On the campaign trail, Trump vowed accountability, and his legal team is weighing potential actions against senior Biden military officers, according to reports.
Among the bandied about actions include an independent commission to investigate the withdrawal decision-making, execution, and failures of those responsible. The recall of senior officers might assess charges as sever as treason, according to The National Pulse.
The officers do have the defense of following President Joe Biden’s orders, however.
Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Matt Flynn is not involved in the transition investigation of using court martial, according to Flynn attorney Mark Zaid, despite sources suggesting otherwise.
Trump on the campaign trail has suggested his former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, could be executed for treason.
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters there was increasing concern within the Pentagon that Trump would purge career civilian employees from the department.
“I’m deeply concerned about their ranks,” the official said, adding that several colleagues had expressed concern about the future of their jobs.
Career civil servants are among the nearly 950,000 non-uniformed employees who work within the U.S. military and in many cases have years of specialized experience….

Kremlin Warns ‘Inevitable Escalation’ over Biden Allegedly Authorising Ukraine Long-Range Missile Strikes

The United States allowing its long-range tactical missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia for the first time would “inevitably lead to a serious escalation”, Kremlin figures warn after Washington D.C. appears to brief one of President Biden’s final acts in office will be to permit such attacks.
Russia warned of dire consequences if Ukraine used long-range U.S.-made ATACMS missiles to strike strategic targets deep inside the Federation, but also confidence it would be able to foil the attacks in the first place.
The responses came after claims were published in the beltway-interest newspapers favoured for leaks by the U.S. intelligence community at the weekend that U.S. President Joe Biden would permit Ukraine to use the American Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles to strike targets within Russia.
Until now, the system was permitted for Kyiv to strike Russian targets inside Ukraine, but deeper strikes inside Russia had been prohibited over fears using American weapons to directly attack the Russian Federation would lead to Russia treating the U.S. as a direct combatant in the conflict. Ukraine sees hitting Russia inside Russia as essential as it would theoretically allow them to destroy Russian weapons before they have a chance to join battle.
Russian state media on Sunday night and Monday morning was quick to highlight the remarks of top Kremlin figures making dark warnings about the alleged change in police. Among them was head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky, a frequent interlocutor on Russian-Western relations, who said: “American missile strikes deep into Russian regions will inevitably lead to a serious escalation, which threatens to have much more serious consequences.”…

Key Data on Federal Benefits Paid to Illegal Immigrant Households

While critics often connect illegal immigration with elevated crime, compromised national security, and other ills, another key issue is the high cost of government benefits paid to illegal immigrants. While deporting illegal immigrants with criminal records is first on their to-do list, the new Trump administration should act to restrict benefits paid to illegal immigrants, too. As it does so, here are ten key facts on illegal immigration, drawn from sources on the political left, right, and center.
1. How many illegal immigrants are in the US and how many entered during the Biden-Harris administration?
“Recent estimates range from 10.3 million to 11.4 million unauthorized individuals living in the United States.”
“…the Biden-Harris Administration has released into the United States more than 5.6 million illegal aliens, with another 1.9 million illegal alien ‘gotaways’ escaping into the country…”
2. What is the total annual cost of illegal immigration?
“At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.”
3. How much are those costs per taxpayer?….
Haitian immigrants flee Springfield, Ohio, in droves after Trump election win

“Some folks don’t have credit cards or access to the internet, and they want to buy a bus ticket or a plane ticket, so we help them book a flight,” she told the Guardian recently. “People are leaving.”
Koveleski, leaders in Springfield’s Haitian community, and others have relayed reports of Haitians fleeing the city of 60,000 people in recent days for fear of being rounded up and deported after Donald Trump’s victory in the 5 November presidential election.
“The owner of one store is wondering if he should move back to New York or to Chicago – he says his business is way down,” Koveleski remarked.
Trump has repeatedly said he would end immigrants’ temporary protected status (TPS) – the provision through which many Haitians are legally allowed to live and work in the US – and deport Haitians from Springfield once in office.
For many, the threats are real.
A sheriff in Sidney, a town 40 miles (64km) north-west of Springfield that is home to several dozen Haitian immigrants, allegedly told local police in September to “get a hold of these people and arrest them”….
Nancy Pelosi is finished — no one deserves more blame for Dems’ $1B electoral collapse

It’s high time to shatter the myth of Nancy Pelosi as a master strategist. Nobody deserves more blame than the ridiculously self-titled “speaker emerita” for the Democrats’ $1 billion electoral collapse.
Under her ruthless leadership, her party lost the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote. You can’t say that enough.
Voters rejected the Dems from coast to coast, even in Pelosi’s deepest-blue home city of San Francisco, which saw a 7-point swing to Donald Trump.
She’s the only speaker in history to have lost control of the House twice.
She’s finished.
Yet she still has the nerve to reward herself with another term, filing the papers last week to run for re-election in 2026, at the tender age of 86! She’ll be 88 at the end of Trump’s term.
When is too much enough?
Her saccharine-coated “Mean Girls” style of partisan viciousness and deviousness turns out to have done nothing for her party but postpone the inevitable reckoning between the radical left and common-sense moderates. Unfortunately for the Dems, most of the latter have taken a hike under Pelosi’s reign.
If the GOP is Trump’s party, the Democratic Party is Pelosi’s — and what a viper’s nest of blame-shifting and rancor it has become, as they all blame each other for their humiliating defeat at the hands of the man they derided as a Nazi. Most Americans didn’t agree, and now the Democrats and their media handmaidens stand exposed as frauds and liars…..
Rules for Thee: IRS Agents, Gov’t Employees Owe Stunning $1.5 Billion in Back Taxes – Report

Republican senators have been up in arms over reports issued over the past 18 months indicating the extent to which federal employees are not paying their federal taxes.
In a July letter, Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa noted that a recent audit by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that 149,000 federal employees owe $1.5 billion in unpaid taxes.
It gets worse.
“Tens of thousands are repeat tax cheats, failing to file tax returns year after year, and the number is steadily increasing,” she wrote.
In the letter, she challenged Internal Revenue Service Commission Daniel Werfel to make “thousands of tax-evading tax collectors at the IRS.”…
