Democrat Plots Kennedy Impeachment

Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens announced that she plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“RFK Jr. is making our country less safe and making healthcare less affordable and accessible for Michiganders,” she claimed. “His contempt for science, the constant spreading of conspiracy theories, and his complete disregard for the thousands of research hours spent by America’s top doctors and experts is unprecedented, reckless, and dangerous.”

“Enough is enough – we need leaders who put science over chaos, facts over lies, and people over politics, which is why I am announcing today that I have begun drafting articles of impeachment against Secretary Kennedy,” Stevens continued, further claiming that Kennedy has “violated his oath of office and proven himself unfit to serve the American people.”

The congresswoman’s impeachment articles will focus on what she argues is Kennedy’s “abdication of duty by cutting funding for lifesaving research,” restricting access to vaccines, lying, and failing to fulfill duties of HHS.

Stevens urged Kennedy to resign from his role as HHS Secretary earlier this month, declaring that he was “creating chaos and turning away from science at a time when Michiganders need real leadership and real answers.”

The congresswoman’s effort comes as more than 1,000 current and former HHS employees signed a letter on September 3 demanding that RFK Jr. resign.

“We swore an oath to support and defend the United States Constitution and to serve the American people. Our oath requires us to speak out when the Constitution is violated and the American people are put at risk,” the letter says. “Thus, we warn the President, Congress, and the Public that Secretary Kennedy’s actions are compromising the health of this nation, and we demand Secretary Kennedy’s resignation.”

Kamala Harris Memoir Panned as ‘Unhelpful and Divisive’ by Dems

Kamala Harris’s push to promote her new book has backfired, with top Democrats blasting her for writing what they call an “unhelpful and divisive” memoir. Released Tuesday, 107 Days recounts Harris’s view of the 2024 election—but party insiders warn it could damage her future ambitions and leave her branded as a “sore loser.”

Michael Hardaway, a former senior adviser to House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, told Politico the memoir “seems to be unhelpful and divisive in a way that makes it hard for her to be the face of the party as we look to the future.” A former Biden-Harris campaign staffer echoed the concern, warning that voters could “start seeing her as a sore loser,” which they called a major “risk.”

The book levels accusations at Joe Biden’s White House team, claiming aides “intentionally knock[ed] her down.” Harris also called Biden’s decision to run for reelection at 81 “recklessness.” She didn’t stop there—attacking California governor Gavin Newsom as “unreachable” and slamming Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro’s “ambition.”

Democrats privately fear the drama is tarnishing the party’s already shaky image. “Democrats privately worry the parade of scab-picking, backward-looking books isn’t helping the party move on,” Politico reported.

Even longtime Democratic strategist David Axelrod questioned Harris’s judgment: “If this was intended as a campaign launch, I don’t think it got off the pad. If it was intended as a catharsis, only she can know if it was successful.”

Florida Names Road After Charlie Kirk

Lake County, Florida, has approved a resolution naming a road in honor of Charlie Kirk. The resolution passed in a 5-0 vote, making the county the “1st local government in the nation to name a road after the great [Charlie Kirk],” Lake County Commissioner Anthony Sabatini announced.

“Thank you to my colleagues on the Lake County Commission & to Floridians across the state who supported this proposal!” he wrote on social media. “Hoping more counties & cities across the country follow our lead!”

Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet called the plan “amazing.”

“In what I hope is the first of many, Lake County, Florida has just named a road after Charlie Kirk,” Kolvet said. “I would love to see Charlie Kirk highways all over America as an enduring reminder of his sacrifice for this country. Thank you [Anthony Sabatini] for spearheading this!”

Another Florida effort aims to rename a Miami-Dade road. The bill, filed by Florida House Speaker Juan Carlos Porras (R), would designate a “portion of S.R. 985/S.W. 107th Avenue between S.W. 24th Street and S.R. 90/S.W. 8th Street” near Florida International University in Miami-Dade County to be named “Charlie Kirk Memorial Avenue.” The bill further directs the Florida Department of Transportation to erect “suitable markers” for the memorial avenue.

Porras said he and Kirk “founded the first ⁦[Turning Point USA] chapter in FL back in 2015 where this road is going to be, now it will honor his legacy.”

Similarly, Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen introduced legislation to rename State Route 202 in honor of Kirk.

NYC Prostitute Accused of Killing 3 Johns in fentanyl-Laced Robbery Spree

Manhattan prosecutors say a prostitute left a trail of death across New York City, killing at least three men by plying them with fentanyl-laced drugs before robbing them.

Tabitha Bundrick, 38, is now charged with three counts of murder and multiple robbery charges in connection with a deadly scheme described by prosecutors as “calculated” and “callous.” She was already serving a 13-year federal sentence for drug distribution tied to the same spree.

Her reign of terror allegedly began in April 2023, when Bundrick lured 42-year-old Mario Paullan and his friend to an apartment. Prosecutors say she urged them to snort what she claimed was cocaine. Paullan collapsed and died on the spot, while his friend awoke in an emptied apartment next to his lifeless body.

Five months later, Bundrick allegedly used the same method to kill 39-year-old Miguel Navez, who was later found dead by his brother — pants around his knees, valuables missing. In February 2024, she allegedly struck again, this time killing Abrihan Fernandez while hauling off his belongings in “giant laundry bags.”

District Attorney Alvin Bragg warned that such predatory crimes will be prosecuted aggressively. “We will uncover and prosecute this conduct,” he vowed.

Bundrick’s public defender claimed she is mentally ill and a victim of childhood abuse. But prosecutors insist her deadly spree shows a woman who “encouraged [victims] to do it again and do it again a third time,” knowing the drugs were lethal.

NYC Hit-And-Run Horror: Tourists Mowed Down in Midtown as Crime Crisis Deepens

New York City witnessed yet another hit-and-run horror Wednesday as a German couple visiting Midtown were brutally struck by a minivan driver who fled the scene. The woman, 50, was nearly decapitated on impact, while her husband, 55, was left with a fractured skull. He remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Police sources said the suspect, driving a green Toyota Sienna with a vanity plate reading “TIMES SQUARE,” pinned the couple between his vehicle and a box truck while reversing at high speed on East 40th Street and Fifth Avenue. Witnesses described a scene of chaos and disbelief.

“The minivan sped away,” said a Nuts4Nuts vendor. “As he was reversing, [the woman] was under the van. The man was stuck under the tire. He got himself out.”

Another bystander, Rosa Paredes, recalled she “heard the impact of the crash” and said the truck’s driver likely had no idea someone was trapped.

Graphic footage showed first responders trying to revive the woman, only to realize her head was nearly detached.

This tragic incident underscores the worsening state of public safety in America’s largest city. Tourists, once drawn to the Big Apple for its culture and landmarks, are now forced to weigh the risks of rampant crime, reckless drivers, and lenient policies that leave criminals free to wreak havoc.

As one vendor summed up the disbelief of the crowd: “Everyone was shocked. No one knew what to do. [The] guy fled the scene.”

Ben Carson Joins Trump Team to Fix America’s Health Crisis

Dr. Ben Carson, President Trump’s former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development during his first term, has been sworn in as an advisor for nutrition, health, and housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” Carson said upon being sworn in. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America.”

Carson’s role will see him advise President Trump and USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins on policies pertaining to nutrition, rural healthcare, and housing accessibility, the USDA explained.

“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing,” Rollins said, in part. “As the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump Administration, Dr. Carson worked to expand opportunity and strengthen communities, and we are honored to welcome him to the second Trump Administration to help lead our efforts here at USDA to Make America Healthy Again and ensure rural America continues to prosper.”

President Trump announced over the weekend that he plans to award Carson the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

“We are going to be presenting Dr. Ben Carson with the highest civilian award and honor in our country. It’s the civilian version of the Medal of Honor, which is our highest military award. It’s the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Trump said during an event with the Carson-founded American Cornerstone Institute.

Viral Moment: JD Vance Pauses Speech for Boy Who ‘Skipped School’

Vice President JD Vance delivered a hard-hitting speech on law and order in North Carolina this week — but the headline-grabbing moment came when a young supporter interrupted to ask for a selfie.

During a Q&A session, a boy named Henry called out from the crowd: “I skipped school today. I was wondering if I could get a picture with you.” The room erupted in cheers as Vance invited him up.

Smiling, Vance quipped, “Henry said ‘I skipped school. Can I have a picture with you?’ Well, I guess I got to have some excuse to skip school, so I might as well get a photo with Henry.”

Henry, sporting a red Trump hat and an American flag T-shirt, walked to the stage and snapped the viral selfie as the vice president gave him a pat on the back. The audience roared, and even the White House’s official Rapid Response 47 account shared the clip, which quickly topped 15,000 likes on X.

After the lighthearted exchange, Vance pivoted back to serious policy, praising law enforcement, calling for violent offenders to remain behind bars, and stressing support for local police. Wrapping up, he circled back to Henry, saying, “Henry, I hope you got the photo you needed,” drawing another round of applause.

Trump, Musk Reach AI Partnership

The General Services Administration (GSA) announced that federal agencies will have access to Grok technology as part of an agreement with xAI.

Grok AI models will be available to agencies for $0.42 per organization for 18 months, serving as the longest OneGov AI agreement to date.

The program, called “Grok for Government,” further provides agencies with an “upgrade path to Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and DoD Impact Levels (IL)–aligned Grok enterprise subscriptions for expanded features and higher rate limits,” the announcement explains.

“xAI has the most powerful AI compute and most capable AI models in the world. Thanks to President Trump and his administration, xAI’s frontier AI is now unlocked for every federal agency empowering the U.S. Government to innovate faster and accomplish its mission more effectively than ever before,” xAI cofounder and CEO Elon Musk said in a statement. “We look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his team to rapidly deploy AI throughout the government for the benefit of the country.”

“Widespread access to advanced AI models is essential to building the efficient, accountable government that taxpayers deserve—and to fulfilling President Trump’s promise that America will win the global AI race,” said Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum. “We value xAI for partnering with GSA—and dedicating engineers—to accelerate the adoption of Grok to transform government operations.”

The agreement aligns with President Trump’s AI Action Plan, which seeks to provide federal agencies with secure models to enhance their missions and bolster American dominance in the industry.

Treasure Hoard Unearthed Near Jesus’ Galilee Ministry Site Tied to Jewish Revolt

Archaeologists in Israel have uncovered a remarkable treasure hoard near one of Christianity’s most important regions — the Galilee, where Jesus preached and performed miracles.

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced that 22 bronze coins were discovered in Hukok, just three miles west of Capernaum, a fishing town central to Jesus’ ministry. The coins, dating back more than 1,600 years, were linked to the Gallus Revolt of 351–352 A.D., the last Jewish uprising under Roman rule.

IAA researcher Uri Berger explained that the find was deliberately hidden: the hoard was placed “in a small crevice prepared deep in an underground hiding complex,” suggesting its owners intended to reclaim it after the turmoil.

The tunnels where the coins were found had been used during earlier Jewish revolts — including the Great Revolt in the first century and the Bar-Kochba Revolt in the second century. “This shows that hundreds of years after these tunnels were dug out, they were reused,” the IAA noted.

The discovery was made by volunteers excavating the site for future tourism. Einat Ambar-Armon of the IAA praised the effort, saying, “The excavation thus became not only an important scientific event, but also a significant communal educational experience – one that brings the public closer to its heritage.”

IAA Director Eli Escusido added that the site could soon welcome visitors worldwide: “We are working together so that the entire public can enjoy the hidden treasures of this site.”

The find is a powerful reminder of the region’s deep biblical and historical roots — and a link between the struggles of ancient Israel and the land where Christ once walked.

Blue City Crime Crisis: A Repeat Seattle Offender Strikes Again After Charlotte Train Murder

The blue city crime crisis is once again making headlines after yet another violent repeat offender struck in Seattle, just weeks after a shocking light rail murder in Charlotte. Police say 44-year-old Jose Francisco Garcia stabbed a man in the stomach in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District in what authorities called a “seemingly unprovoked attack.”

Surveillance video shows Garcia riding a bicycle before suddenly plunging a knife into his unsuspecting victim. Court records reveal a criminal history dating back to 1997, with convictions ranging from assault to firearm charges, drug offenses, and even resisting arrest. Despite this rap sheet, Garcia remained free to terrorize the community.

Seattle police officers captured him within nine minutes, recovering a knife from his waistband. Garcia now faces first-degree assault charges, which could carry a life sentence. The victim, a 40-year-old man, was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition.

Seattle Police Officers Guild President Mike Solan said the cycle of crime and release stems from political pressure to appease activists instead of protecting the public. “This is another example of soft-on-crime policies and laws that impact the community at large,” Solan warned.

The Seattle attack comes on the heels of another tragic case in Charlotte, where repeat offender Decarlos Brown Jr. fatally stabbed 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a light rail train last month. Solan captured the broader frustration, saying, “It’s an unreasonable activist push to reform the criminal justice system that put most of blue cities in this predicament that, to me, is sad and needs to be corrected, really quick.”
