Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for Operation Warp Speed and the development of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, American innovation led the world, helping prevent economic collapse and saving more than 14 million lives globally,” Bourla wrote in a Wednesday statement. “Operation Warp Speed restored consumer confidence, saved over $1 trillion in health care costs due to reductions in serious illness and avoidance of hospitalizations, and rapidly scaled up domestic production.”

“This American leadership also delivered a new platform that may drive significant innovation in cancer research,” he noted. “Such an accomplishment would typically be worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, given its significant impact.”

In response to Trump’s recent request that pharmaceutical companies release data justifying the COVID-19 vaccine, Bourla shared a link to Pfizer’s website containing “updates on safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy data in an open and accessible manner.”

“We agree with President Trump about the role data and transparency play in helping to inform patients and providers about their decision to vaccinate,” said Bourla.

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) also said that Trump “deserves a Nobel Prize for Operation Warp Speed.”

This week, Trump wrote on Truth Social that it is “very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree! With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW. I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not???”

“They show me GREAT numbers and results, but they don’t seem to be showing them to many others,” he wrote. “I want them to show them NOW, to CDC and the public, and clear up this MESS, one way or the other!!! I hope OPERATION WARP SPEED was as ‘BRILLIANT’ as many say it was. If not, we all want to know about it, and why???”

Hitachi Backs Trump’s AI Vision With Massive Energy Deal

Hitachi Energy announced a $1 billion commitment to invest in the United States’ electrical grid infrastructure.

“These investments, among the largest seen in the electrical industry in the U.S., include approximately $457 million USD for a new large power transformer facility in South Boston, Virginia, along with significant expansions of existing facilities throughout the country,” the company said in a press release.

The investments are intended to meet the “skyrocketing energy demand” driven by AI data centers, in line with President Trump’s AI Action Plan. The investment further “supports the power needs of American manufacturing and other sectors and much-needed grid expansion and modernization efforts.”

Energy Secretary Christ Wright said in a statement, “If we are going to win the AI race, reindustrialize, and keep the lights on, America is going to need a lot more reliable energy.”

“Thankfully, Hitachi is delivering,” Wright stated. “The Trump administration looks forward to continuing to partner with private industry to ensure the American people access to affordable, reliable, and secure energy and thousands of high-paying jobs.”

“The United States is a key market for Hitachi, and this investment reflects our commitment to powering America’s energy future to meet the accelerating demands for reliable and sustainable solutions to benefit the nation,” said President and CEO of Hitachi, Toshiaki Tokunaga. “Leveraging our expertise in IT, operational technology, and advanced products, we are supporting American manufacturing, the development of critical infrastructure, and the rapid expansion of data centers driven by AI adoption.”

President Trump’s January executive order on AI directed agencies to “sustain and enhance America’s global AI dominance in order to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security.” The order called for AI systems that are “free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas” as to “solidify our position as the global leader in AI and secure a brighter future for all Americans.”

Xi and Putin Caught on Hot Mic Discussing Organ Transplants, ‘Immortality’—U.S. Expert Calls Claims Unfounded

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were caught on a hot mic during a military parade in Beijing discussing organ transplants and the possibility of human “immortality.” The private exchange, unintentionally broadcast during the event, included references to living to 150 years and speculation about scientific breakthroughs that could defeat aging.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was also present during the discussion. The conversation appeared casual but raised questions about the priorities and worldview of the authoritarian leaders involved. Russian state media later confirmed the remarks, framing them as speculative and informal.

A U.S. medical expert quickly responded. Dr. James Markmann, chief of transplant surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, told Fox News there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that organ transplants can lead to immortality or significantly extend human life. He noted that while transplant science is advancing, the discussion ignores the real ethical and practical concerns surrounding organ availability and access to care.

The conversation comes amid ongoing accusations that China’s government has engaged in forced organ harvesting, particularly from political prisoners and religious minorities. Human rights groups and lawmakers have repeatedly cited credible reports that the Chinese Communist Party has used prisoners of conscience—including Uyghur Muslims and members of Falun Gong—as involuntary organ donors.

Trump Allies Reportedly Consider Offering Adams Job to Block NYC Socialist

Advisers within President Donald Trump’s administration have reportedly discussed offering New York City Mayor Eric Adams a federal position in order to influence the outcome of the 2025 mayoral race. The reported strategy aims to encourage Adams to withdraw, making way for former Governor Andrew Cuomo to consolidate the moderate vote and stop socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani.

According to Fox News, sources familiar with the conversations said a possible ambassadorship or senior administration role could be extended to Adams. The White House has not commented on the matter, and there is no confirmation that an offer has been made. Adams’ campaign denied any discussions with President Trump or his team, stating he has had “no discussions with, nor has he met with, President Donald Trump regarding the mayoral race.”

Mamdani, a radical left-wing councilman and self-proclaimed democratic socialist, quickly condemned the report. At a press conference, he accused the Trump administration of trying to manipulate the election to install a preferred candidate. Mamdani, backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, is considered a leading figure in the far-left push to transform city governance.

The potential political maneuver highlights a growing concern among conservatives and moderates about the continued rise of socialism in major urban centers. Under President Trump’s leadership, federal officials have taken an active stance in confronting far-left policies that have led to spikes in crime, homelessness, and declining quality of life in Democrat-run cities.

Blocking Mamdani’s path to City Hall would represent a strategic move to prevent New York City from falling deeper into progressive control. With Adams politically weakened and under federal investigation, the possibility of a Trump administration appointment could offer him an exit while helping reshape the mayoral race.

Judge Rules Trump Illegally Cut $2 Billion in Harvard Research Funds

A federal judge in Boston ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully terminated more than $2.2 billion in federal research grants to Harvard University. The decision comes after Harvard challenged the administration’s decision to suspend funding over concerns about governance, campus climate, and allegations of antisemitism.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, determined that the funding cuts constituted unlawful retaliation and violated the First Amendment, the Civil Rights Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. The court ordered the restoration of federal funding to the university and criticized the administration for using antisemitism as what she described as a “smokescreen” to justify the cuts.

The Trump administration had previously cited Harvard’s handling of antisemitic incidents and its refusal to implement governance reforms as justification for cutting funds. The university’s diversity policies and resistance to outside oversight had also drawn scrutiny. Despite these concerns, the court ruled that the funding decisions were not legally grounded and must be reversed immediately.

Judge Burroughs acknowledged the importance of combating antisemitism but wrote that federal agencies cannot infringe on protected speech or academic freedom in the process. Her opinion stated that “neither goal should be sacrificed on the altar of the other.”

The ruling is expected to be appealed. Legal analysts note that the case could influence future efforts by federal agencies to hold universities accountable when public funds are involved. Critics argue the judgment limits the government’s ability to respond to legitimate concerns about university conduct and ideological bias.

Rubio: U.S. Will Strike Again—Venezuelan Cartels Face Consequences

Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared that the United States will continue to take direct action against Venezuela-based cartels, following a U.S. military strike that destroyed a drug-smuggling vessel in the southern Caribbean. Rubio stated unequivocally, “We’re not going to sit back anymore,” signaling a major shift in U.S. policy from passive drug interdiction to active military engagement.

The targeted vessel was reportedly operated by the Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan cartel known for drug trafficking, human smuggling, and regional violence. The strike resulted in the deaths of 11 cartel operatives. According to defense officials, the operation marked the first time the U.S. military has conducted a lethal strike against a drug-running boat in that region. Pentagon officials confirmed that the mission was successful and said more such actions are expected.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the strike and suggested similar operations are planned. The Trump administration has designated the Sinaloa and Tren de Aragua cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, allowing the U.S. military to engage them with greater authority. Hegseth emphasized the administration’s commitment to protecting American communities by cutting off narcotics supply chains at their source.

President Trump praised the mission, saying it sends a strong message to cartels and their state sponsors that their operations will be met with force. The administration also increased military presence in the Caribbean as part of a broader deterrence strategy. Intelligence agencies have linked Venezuelan criminal networks to rising drug flows into U.S. cities, exacerbating the opioid crisis and gang violence.

Rubio’s statement reflects a core conservative principle: national security begins at the border, and foreign threats must be met with strength, not appeasement. The decision to use military force against drug cartels operating with the protection of hostile regimes like Venezuela underscores the administration’s resolve to prioritize American lives over diplomatic restraint.

Scarborough Urges Pritzker to Work With President Trump on Chicago Crime Crisis

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough publicly urged Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to set aside politics and work directly with President Donald Trump to address Chicago’s violent crime. During a recent segment, Scarborough called on Pritzker to take what he described as a “radical” but necessary step to restore order and safety to one of America’s most violent cities.

The comments followed a bloody Labor Day weekend in Chicago where 58 people were shot and eight were killed. Despite the ongoing violence, Governor Pritzker has repeatedly refused federal assistance, including offers from President Trump during his administration to send in National Guard units to restore peace.

Scarborough acknowledged the constitutional limits on presidential authority to deploy the National Guard to a city without the governor’s request, but emphasized that Pritzker should act in the best interest of Illinois residents. “This has to stop,” Scarborough said, suggesting a partnership between the Democratic governor and President Trump could break political gridlock and prioritize lives over party loyalty.

President Trump has long emphasized law and order, often highlighting the failure of progressive leadership in cities like Chicago. His prior offers to support local law enforcement in Democrat-run cities were often rebuffed by state leaders more concerned with optics than outcomes. Chicago continues to be plagued by gang violence, carjackings, and a demoralized police force operating under progressive prosecution policies.

Scarborough’s call for cooperation between Pritzker and Trump represents a rare acknowledgment from a left-leaning media figure that conservative-led solutions may offer the leadership necessary to confront urban lawlessness. For many conservatives, the ongoing deterioration of public safety in cities like Chicago confirms the dangers of progressive governance that prioritizes ideology over effective law enforcement.

URI Student Sues for Defamation After Bathroom Voyeurism Incident

A University of Rhode Island student has filed a federal lawsuit, claiming the university defamed her after a male intruded into a unisex bathroom, filmed her while showering, and the institution then mishandled the incident. The victim, identified only as “Jane Doe,” alleges URI’s actions exacerbated her trauma through careless public statements.

The lawsuit states that on April 29, 2025, while showering in a unisex bathroom in Adams Hall, Doe discovered a male, later identified as “J.P.,” recording her through a mobile phone. She immediately reported the incident to campus police. Doe claims URI failed to notify the student body, failed to remove the perpetrator from campus immediately, and did not bolster safety measures following the incident.

Doe further alleges that URI verbally communicated to third parties that the perpetrator was “known to her, as the victim,” thereby making her identifiable and defaming her by implication. The suit was originally filed in Rhode Island Superior Court and refiled in U.S. District Court for Rhode Island last week.

She names multiple defendants, including the Rhode Island Council for Postsecondary Education and “J.P.,” and seeks compensation for emotional distress, defamation, Title IX violations, breach of contract, and the loss of a merit-based scholarship. The suit also claims URI delayed the appeals process related to her scholarship loss, compounding emotional and academic damage.

The legal filing includes eight claims: assault (against J.P.), negligence, defamation, Title IX violation, breach of contract, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and punitive damages (against URI and the board).

This lawsuit surfaces as universities nationwide face growing scrutiny over campus safety, gender-neutral policies, and how political ideologies are influencing institutional responses. Critics argue that higher education’s obsession with gender inclusivity often comes at the expense of basic protections for women. The use of unisex facilities and the reluctance to confront male misconduct, particularly when aligned with progressive narratives, continues to raise concern among parents, students, and lawmakers.

Kim Jong Un’s Daughter Groomed for Power as North Korea Eyes Female Succession

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s daughter, Kim Ju-Ae, is being publicly positioned as his likely successor, according to intelligence analysts and regime experts. Her recent appearance at a high-profile military parade in Beijing marks her first known international outing and fuels growing evidence that the regime is preparing a hereditary handoff of power—this time, to a young girl.

Ju-Ae, believed to be around 12 or 13 years old, accompanied Kim Jong Un to China’s Victory Day celebration commemorating Japan’s surrender in World War II. The North Korean regime offered no formal announcement about her role, but analysts interpret her presence at a foreign state function as part of a deliberate strategy to elevate her profile. Her involvement in previous domestic events—such as missile launches and military inspections—has only intensified speculation about her future leadership.

Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, told reporters that Ju-Ae is “crossing the final gateway” to becoming the officially recognized successor. Analysts at the Stimson Center and South Korean intelligence agencies now consider her the top candidate for the role. Her appearances, highly orchestrated and often framed with military and symbolic pageantry, mirror traditional dynastic successions more than modern political transitions.

Kim Ju-Ae’s elevation raises both political and ethical questions. Dr. Justin Frank, a psychiatrist and parenting expert, told Fox News that exposing a child to political spectacle at this level is harmful. He warned it may damage her development, calling it “state-sponsored child abuse.” The decision to parade a minor before the world stage in a totalitarian regime underscores how human rights concerns in North Korea continue to be ignored by global elites.

North Korea remains one of the only communist states to maintain a hereditary system of power, now in its third generation under the Kim family. If Ju-Ae is officially named successor, she would become the first female leader in North Korean history—selected not by public mandate or competence, but by bloodline. Her rise would signal continuity of the regime’s dynastic grip, not reform or progress.

Wes Moore’s Yacht Getaway With Clooney Sparks Backlash Over Elitism

Maryland Governor Wes Moore, considered a rising Democrat figure and potential 2028 presidential candidate, is facing sharp criticism after being photographed aboard actor George Clooney’s private yacht in Italy. The trip occurred as crime and public safety concerns continue to rise in Baltimore and across Maryland. Clooney, a high-profile liberal donor, has previously promoted Moore as a serious national contender.

Images obtained by the Daily Mail show Moore and his wife relaxing on Lake Como during what Moore’s office claimed was a personal vacation to celebrate his wife’s 50th birthday. The Daily Caller confirmed the governor’s team stated the trip was paid for “out-of-pocket.” However, critics question the optics of a luxury European vacation while residents in Moore’s home state continue to face violence and lawlessness.

A spokesperson for the Republican National Committee condemned the trip, saying, “While Maryland residents try to escape dangerous criminals in their communities, Gov. Wes Moore is attempting to escape any accountability for his failed leadership by fleeing to Italy for a luxury getaway with Democrat elites.” The statement concluded with a call for Moore to “get his priorities straight” and focus on making Maryland safe again.

Delegate Mark Fisher, a Republican member of Maryland’s General Assembly, also criticized the trip. Fisher said the image of Moore relaxing on a billionaire’s yacht while citizens endure crime-ridden streets in cities like Baltimore is “so elitist it could have come straight out of a Dickens novel.” He urged Moore to address the public safety crisis instead of mingling with wealthy Hollywood donors overseas.

Moore has denied intentions to run for president, though his high-profile appearances and growing national exposure suggest otherwise. The Washington Examiner reported that Moore’s Italian retreat has only intensified speculation about his political ambitions. Critics argue that his actions reflect a disconnect from the everyday struggles of working Americans, particularly those living in urban areas devastated by progressive crime policies.
