On direct orders from President Donald Trump, U.S. military forces launched a precision strike on a drug-laden vessel in international waters, killing 11 Tren de Aragua narcoterrorists en route to the United States. Trump declared the operation a clear warning to traffickers that those who smuggle poison toward American shores will face swift and lethal consequences. “Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” President Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States. The commander-in-chief added, “The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!!!!!!” Several members of the Senate Finance Committee tried desperately during a hearing on Thursday about President Donald Trump's 2026 health care agenda to paint Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as both a "charlatan" and as a danger to public health. In addition to highlighting recent victories at the Department of Health and Human Services such as recent reductions to bureaucratic waste and the obliteration of the DEI regime, Kennedy informed the committee at the outset, "We are ending gain-of-function research, child mutilation, and reducing animal testing. We are addressing cellphone use in schools, excessive screen time for youths, the lack of nutrition education in our medical schools, sickle cell anemia, hepatitis C, the East Palestine chemical spill, and many, many others." Rather than dwell on these or other recent positive developments at the HHS, Hassan, like other Democrats on the committee, instead focused her attack on Kennedy's approach to vaccines. Hassan, whom Open Secrets indicated has received over $1 million in campaign donations from the health professional industry and hundreds of thousands of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry, claimed that Kennedy "acted behind closed doors to overrule scientists and limit the freedom of parents to choose the COVID vaccine for their children" and "unilaterally changed the parameters for giving vaccines." "This is crazy talk," Kennedy said. "You're just making stuff up." ...parents still enjoy the freedom to choose the COVID vaccine for their children even though Makary indicated his agency is not confident that the benefits outweigh the risks. Kennedy told Hassan on Thursday that the decisions about the COVID vaccines were not made "behind closed doors. The industry makes the studies, and they could not provide a study that said it is effective for healthy kids." Elizabeth Warren picked up where Hassan left off, willfully conflating FDA approval for COVID vaccines with their general availability. "Last week, you announced that the COVID-19 vaccine is no longer approved for healthy people under the age of 65," Warren said. "In announcing the change, you said that the vaccine will be available for anyone who wants it. Now obviously, both things cannot be true at the same moment." "Anybody can get it," Kennedy said. "It's not recommended for healthy people." ...Kennedy told her flatly, "I'm not going to recommend a product for which there's no clinical data for that indication. Would you?" "I know you've taken $855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, Senator," Kennedy added, possibly answering his own question. Over the holiday weekend, rumors began circulating on the left that President Donald Trump had passed away after going several days without a public appearance — but he quickly shut them down. “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Aug. 31st. “Also, DC IS A CRIME FREE ZONE! President DJT.” “The left was really excited,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments. “There was, like, a gleam in their eye. You know, usually they have dead eyes. On August 30, “Donald Trump” was the number-one trending topic on X after the left began excitedly repeating that the president was nowhere to be seen. In the trending sidebar on X, it revealed that 49,000 posts claimed that “TRUMP IS DEAD,” 17,500 posts claimed that “TRUMP DIED,” and 110,000 posts said “It Happened.” Even Tim Walz got in on the deranged and deluded excitement. “You get up in the morning and you doomscroll through things — although I will say this. The last few days you woke up thinking there might be news,” Walz told an audience, to laughter. “Just saying, there will be news sometime.” “Or is that his cowardly call to violence?” BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens chimes in. “Because that’s what they really want. What a sick, sick human being. I don’t recall ever in this network or anyone here ever talking about wanting Joe Biden to lose his life.” “The left was really excited,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments. “There was, like, a gleam in their eye. You know, usually they have dead eyes. Reminds me of Quint's description of shark attacks.
