A scientist for Johnson & Johnson, one of the corporations that assembled a COVID shot during the China virus pandemic, has confirmed in an undercover video that proper testing wasn't done, the effectiveness was unknown and somebody eventually will get sued over the catastrophe that developed for Americans.

The comments were reported by O'Keefe Media Group, which released undercover video, and a subsequent video in which the scientist, identified as Joshua Rys, a lead regulatory scientist for Johnson & Johnson, tried to avoid questions about his comments.

The OMG report noted the scientist confessed that the J&J COVID shots were "not safe and effective" and there was lack of basic research done.

"People wanted it, we gave it to 'em," he said.

At one point, the explained, there was a move to just "throw the vaccine" to the wind and "see what happens."

In fact, vaccines made by under companies, using the mRNA technology, have been found to give people a higher risk of multiple side effects, including heart failure.

"Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products [vaccines]?" Rys asked.

"I mean we basically just had a race to figure out who could solve it best … At one point, we just canned it," he added.

The Food and Drug Administration in 2022 announced it would limit who can take the J&J shots because of a serious risk of blood clots.

A report from the Gateway Pundit explained two years ago, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., called for Congress to investigate vaccine manufacturers and the COVID vax approval process in response to Project Veritas' explosive undercover video exposing Pfizer's alleged plans to "mutate" the virus.

That video showed Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer director of research and development, admitting the pharma giant is exploring "mutating" COVID-19 via "directed evolution" so the company can continue to profit off of vaccines.

Was the first lady of France actually born a man?

Brigitte Macron is now going to the highest court in France after being "devastated" by a lower court ruling last week that let off two women who claim she's actually male.

The pair had originally been convicted for spreading false information before the Paris appeals court on Thursday overturned the verdict. The initial ruling ordered the two women to pay $9,300 in damages to Brigitte Macron, and $5,800 to her brother.

Laura Loomer, the investigative journalist and ally of President Donald Trump, is making a bold prediction for the 2028 presidential contest, saying she's "convinced" media titan Tucker Carlson will run for the Oval Office.

"I'm convinced that @TuckerCarlson is going to run for US President in 2028 as the extreme libertarian Bernie Sanders," Loomer posted Sunday on X. "Bookmark this!"

Ten minutes later, she expounded on the reasons for her prediction.

"He sure isn't doing all of this for nothing," Loomer began.

"He is trying to fracture MAGA and make inroads with Muslims and the radical left so he can undermine @JDVance."

"Mark my word, in 2028 @TuckerCarlson will try to run against @JDVance and he will attack JD for standing with Trump over Iran, he will attack JD over Blondi not releasing the Epstein files, and he will accuse JD of having dual loyalty because JD speaks out about jew hatred."

She continued: "I wouldn't even be surprised if Tucker tries to accuse JD of dual loyalty because his kids are half Indian. Tucker is working overtime (and is possibly even being funded) to fracture the MAGA base ahead of 2028 for Islamist and anti-Trump interests.

"Tucker hates MAGA. He blames MAGA for him losing his show on Fox News over the stolen election.

"Fracturing MAGA and encouraging a Pogrom in the US is the revenge he has always wanted. Hopefully @JDVance and his advisors see what @TuckerCarlson is trying to do.

"Never trust someone who says 'Hunter Biden is my good friend.' The signs have always been there."

Carlson has not voiced any desire to run for president in 2028, at least not publicly.

But last month he was critical of the Trump administration's involvement in Israel's unilateral military strikes on Iran, even before the U.S. on June 22 carried out its own strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

On June 13, the Independent of Britain reported: "Tucker Carlson has turned on President Donald Trump by accusing him of being 'complicit' in Israel's attacks on Iran.

"The former Fox News host and MAGA figurehead rebuked Trump and the administration in his newsletter titled: 'This Could Be the Final Newsletter Before All-Out War.'

"'Despite being complicit in the act of war, the president hopes last night's events will help his ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran,' Carlson wrote.

"'While the American military may not have physically perpetrated the assault, years of funding and sending weapons to Israel, which Donald Trump just bragged about on Truth Social, undeniably place the U.S. at the center of last night's events,' the right-wing pundit added."

On April 7, as WorldNetDaily reported, Carlson issued a stark warning against any U.S. military strike on Iran, calling it "suicidal" and claiming "we'd lose the war that follows."

"Whatever you think of tariffs, it's clear that now is the worst possible time for the United States to participate in a military strike on Iran," Carlson posted on X.

"Thousands of Americans would die. We'd lose the war that follows.

"Nothing would be more destructive to our country. And yet we're closer than ever, thanks to unrelenting pressure from neocons.

"This is suicidal. Anyone advocating for conflict with Iran is not an ally of the United States, but an enemy."

Loomer made headlines last week, as WorldNetDaily reported, when she urged President Trump to fire U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, whom she calls "Blondi," for reneging on her pledge to release more information about convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

"Please join me in calling for Blondi to RESIGN!" Loomer said on X. "How many more times is this woman going to get away with Fing everything up before she is FIRED?"

There is a banquet table in heaven with a special place reserved for those who know Jesus and love Him. We know this to be true because Jesus told us so.

Many of the good guys from the Golden Age of Hollywood have gone ahead of us to join the festivities. We know that there is rejoicing and probably a lot of wonderful conversations with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who has wiped away all their tears.

Some of the good guys are very well-known: Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Jimmy Stewart, and a host of others.

Among that host of well-known was my father, Bob "Tex" Allen, the original Texas Ranger. He ranks among them, having won a Box Office award for his lead in "Love Me Forever" and was rated next to Tim McCoy with his Western series that still airs on Turner Network Television.

Regrettably, we live in a cynical age, which has drifted away from good and evil, as Nietzsche told us it would – an age in which we have forgotten God.

So we look back at that Golden Era and sometimes don't realize that these men not only manifested virtue on the screen, but also in their lives off the screen.

My father, a great rider and roper, was born in 1906, when the cowboys still existed, and before the last U.S. Cavalry battles with the Comanches and Apaches in 1910-1912.

Unlike the portrait painted in today's movies, I remember the stories from those old-timers who said that in the Old West – when one was in a world where death was so close and danger was just around the corner – you lived in awe of God.

Therefore, these real cowboys were good guys who wore high white hats, who didn't curse, who kept their word, and who manifested love and compassion.

In his personal life, my father manifested so much integrity, virtue, and compassion that his example helped me to know God the Father, and the truth of Jesus Christ.

Among other wonderful virtues, he was a mentor and a friend, giving and decent, full of kindness and grace. Rudeness and crudeness so shocked him that I am relieved he has gone on to glory before today's degradation of our government and the officials who act like rude barbarians and hooligans.

It is hard for us to remember, but there was a Golden Age.

There were those who tried to live by standards that are today being torn apart by evil. If we truly love those heroes of the silver screen, we can, perhaps, tell the truth of their stories instead of dragging those stories into the filth of our Freudian decadence.

If we love them, we can try to emulate the virtue that so easily and so well suited them. It is a legacy worth considering.

The Bible tells us that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, who are none other than those wonderful saints that went on to glory before us.

A saint is a person set apart by God when that person is born again through faith by the power of the Holy Spirit. I remember quite well the very moment that my father said the sinner's prayer and was born again in my home in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1982.

At the Glen Cove Hospital in the final days of his life, he reaffirmed his faith in Jesus Christ while all my family was gathered around his bed weeks before he died.

However, despite the secure knowledge I have that my father has gone on to glory to a mansion prepared just for him in heaven, I wept when my father died.

Jesus gave His precious life to purchase eternal life for each and every man, woman, and child who would accept His gift.

Although Jesus lived at an extremely pagan time – where life was cheap and disposable, where pleasure took precedence over life, where people were murdered in the Roman Colosseum to entertain the populace, where babies were left to die outside the city gates, where bodies were thrown into stew pots to feed the outcasts – Jesus knew how unique each one of us is, and so He alone redeemed us. He, of course, knew the mission and ministry to which He appointed each of us.

God designed my father to be a gentleman in every way. He possessed great talent, a wonderful mind, and was extremely handsome. He was open, decent, and humble in ways that caused most of those who knew him to love him. Throughout his life, he got better. In spite of all his gifts and talents, my father dedicated himself to his children, often at great cost to himself.

He would often come and visit me in Atlanta and then Hollywood, although it cost him interviews for movies, plays, and TV programs. He would then hasten back home to his beloved Oyster Bay because he loved my sister so much. He wanted to spend as many months a year with her and then with me.

An actor's life is extremely difficult. Getting a part is dependent on having the right look and being at the right place at the right time. When you have a major part, things are great, but when you don't, there is nothing.

I remember many days when we had nothing, but my father always had faith that God would provide. God always did. He provided in miraculous ways.

In spite of the financial highs and lows, my father never complained. He trusted God so much that he sent Kathy to Westover and Vassar and me to St. Paul's and Dartmouth. Thus, my father prepared me for faith in God and for the vagaries of ministry.

Furthermore, when I came to know God after years of rebellion, I saw how much of Him was reflected in my father, who gave himself so selflessly for his family.

Although I wept at his passing, I also rejoiced that Dad had gone ahead of me.

Today, we are confused about what is right and what is wrong, and about what makes us happy and what makes us sad. Many have forgotten that life is tenuous and can be cut short in an instant. Many who ponder the afterlife want it their way without thinking about the consequences.

They are in a sense like the inhabitants of the TV program "The Twilight Zone," who get what they want only to find out that it is not what they really want.

My father was not confused. He lived his values and was certain about the meaning of life. He listened to his family and blessed those who knew him. He saw his whole family come to know the Truth that set them free from the confusions, delusions, and demons of our age. He came to know and understand that Jesus Christ is the only Way.

God gave him faith, which is a gift.

I miss Dad. I love him and thank him for what he did for me. And I look forward to joining him in heaven.

Commentator Wayne Allen Root has explained that the controversy over Jeffrey Epstein, his death and his files, are tarnishing the administration of President Donald Trump.

It was announced earlier that Epstein's death, in a New York jail, was suicide, and that there was no "client list" among his effects, regarding his known activities involving pedophilia and friendships with high-profile personalities such as Bill Gates and Bill Clinton.

That determination provoked a flood of outrage from even Trump supporters, who suspected a cover-up.

Root explained he's known as "the most fiery and loyal champion, celebrator and defender of President Donald J. Trump- the greatest patriot and President of my lifetime," and sticking to the "raw truth."

He warns that Trump needs, now, to "deal with" the statement that there is no Epstein list.

"It looks like a cover-up," he warned.

But a new report this week confirms that that dispute may not yet be closed.

It is Washington watchdog Judicial Watch that confirms it has filed a joint status report in federal court confirming that "the Justice Department and the FBI continue to search for and review records in response to Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for records regarding Jeffrey Epstein."

"The lawsuit requests any records on the identities of clients or associates of Epstein."

The organization explained that disclosure "is at odds with the leaked, unsigned and undated Justice Department/FBI memo that suggests no more Epstein records would be disclosed to the American public."

It was Judicial Watch that sued the DOJ and FBI in April "after they failed to adequately respond to three separate FOIA requests for records filed in February 2025 concerning Epstein, including a specific request for records 'depicting the identities of clients or associates of Epstein.' Epstein document requests were sent to the Justice Department's Office of Information Policy, the Criminal Division, and two separate requests were sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)."

The status report confirmed that the FBI "has run its initial searches and is in the process of reviewing those search results," and the FBI's efforts "are ongoing."

Further, at this point, the FBI "does not yet have an anticipated number of documents or anticipated dates for release.

The same response from the Executive Office of United States Attorneys was given to the court.

A 200-page report on Epstein was unleashed earlier, but the latest unsigned statement suggests no more is coming.

"The Justice Department and FBI are sending out contradictory messages: telling the American people that no more Epstein material will be released, while telling the federal court in our case that the Epstein FOIA review is proceeding," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "But no matter, our FOIA lawsuit for the Epstein material continues. We will be relentless in demanding transparency under law."

Root delivered his verdict, after praising Trump for huge accomplishments in a short time for America, "I'm guessing half of Congress was on the Epstein list. Or certainly a lot of prominent Congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle. I think Trump may have made the decision to stop the release of the Epstein list in return for passing the 'Big Beautiful Bill' – thereby preventing a massive tax increase on the American people – that could have led to an economic collapse. And/or … B) Trump made a moral decision that so many political leaders, business leaders and influential people who run this country were on this list, that releasing it would bring down much more than the Deep State. It would bring down our entire nation and our U.S. economy – leading to a collapse and Great Depression."

Root said now there is no choice: The list must be released.

USAID workers for years have handed out billions of U.S. tax dollars to other nations, their programs, their politicians, their agendas.

Some were completely off-base when it came to U.S. interests and some simply were in support of the ideologies of the USAID.

Now, under President Trump, multiple thousands of USAID workers are now ex-employees, with the official closure of the agency just days ago and a few jobs considered important transferred to the State department, with a few hundred leftover workers.

But among those thousands, now, apparently is a contingent planning to sabotage the United States.

In the wake of a new FBI memo claiming there was no client list of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, despite U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi saying she had it on her "desk right now to review," the White House is now saying law enforcement did its job, and "the Trump administration is committed to truth and to transparency."

During a press briefing Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked point blank: "The DOJ and the FBI have now concluded there was no Jeffrey Epstein client list. What do you tell MAGA supporters who say they want anyone involved in Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes to be held accountable?"

Leavitt replied: "The Trump administration is committed to truth and to transparency. That's why the attorney general and the FBI director pledged at the president's direction to do an exhaustive review of all of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and his death. And they put out a memo in conclusion of that review.

"There was material they did not release because, frankly, it was incredibly graphic and it contained child pornography which is not something that's appropriate for public consumption.

"But they committed to an exhaustive investigation. That's what they did and they provided the results of that. That's transparency."

Peter Doocy of Fox News immediately followed up on her answer, saying: "According to the report, this systematic review revealed no incriminating client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk?"

A former Space Force officer's objection to the military's Biden-era COVID-19 vaccine mandate still haunts him over three years later.

WorldNetDaily spoke to Joshua Zermeno, a former officer who dedicated part of his career to space superiority, having served in the U.S. military for 13 years. In August 2021, Zermeno objected to then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's military COVID-19 shot mandate, questioning both its "efficacy and legality." For this, he received two Letters of Reprimand (LORs) and a "Do Not Promote" recommendation that blocked his promotion to major. He was also banned from government buildings and required to work from home.

With his career collapsing in front of him, Zermeno attempted to voluntarily separate from the military in October 2021, but was told his separation was "not in the best interest of the Air Force and Space Force." In the week following this statement, he said base leadership initiated Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) action against him. Despite the rescission of the COVID-19 shot mandate in January 2023, he was passed over for promotion a second time. Seven months later, he was forced to separate from the military entirely.

Nevertheless, Zermeno would consider returning to Space Force, but has been offered "zero guidance" from the Department of Defense and the Air Force's Total Force Service Center, which manages Space Force matters.

The former Space Force officer said stories like his are among "the most censored topics globally." He pointed out, "Many service members and veterans have turned to social media to share their experiences, but censorship limits reach, and account deletions risk erasing these stories." Even his own X account has been "targeted and tagged with 'Visibility limited: this Post may violate X's rules against Hateful Conduct,' despite its professional content."

To counter the censorship, Zermeno published "DISOBEYING AN UNLAWFUL ORDER: A SPACE FORCE OFFICER'S FIGHT FOR FREEDOM" in June 2025. It was written "to preserve history of military's COVID-19 shot mandate permanently," he said, adding that his desire is for the book to reach current and future military leaders to "study, learn from, and prevent such mistakes from ever happening again."

Jimmy Swaggart, the charismatic, but scandal-conflicted, televangelist whose accomplishments included founding a church, a school, musical projects and multiple books, has died at the age of 90.

A report at PJMedia explained he was "one of the most controversial figures among Christian leaders in the late 20th century."

The death was announced by his family in a Facebook post, which said, "Today, our hearts are heavy as we share that Brother Swaggart has finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ. Today was the day he has sung about for decades. He met his beloved Savior and entered the portals of glory. At the same time, we rejoice knowing that we will see him again one day."

The post quoted 2 Timothy 4:7-8 (KJV): "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

President Donald Trump reacted, saying: "Very sad, Jimmy Swaggart passed away today! He was an incredible Man of Faith and, as our Nation's longest serving Televangelist, inspired millions with his Great Love of God and Country. Our hearts and prayers are with his wonderful wife Frances, his son Donnie, and their entire family. Jimmy will be deeply missed!"

He started preaching at age 20 in 1955.

President Donald Trump, who is famous for calling out "fake news" among national reporters, has just dropped a verbal bomb on Dan Alexander of Forbes Magazine, calling him an "untalented writer" whose publication "continues to hang around like a bad disease."

In post on Truth Social Monday, Trump said: "Not that it really matters, but a terribly untalented writer for badly failing Forbes Magazine, Dan Alexander, who probably can't get a meaningful job in the business, has written so inaccurately about me that it is ridiculous.

"Many others also, the media is mostly Fake News, but Forbes doesn't even try to get things right. I haven't spoken to these SleazeBags in years, they don't want the facts, and they're so inaccurate (purposely!) about everything.

"I would have thought Forbes would be DEAD by now, but it continues to hang around like a bad disease. Isn't it owned by a hostile nation?

"Anyway, that's what happens when you have bad reporters with evil intentions. Eventually the publication dies. I've happily seen it over, and over, again!"

While the president didn't specify what reports prompted his opinion, Alexander's most recent postings this month on X and Forbes may provide a clue, as the writer claimed to have "the scoop on the backroom dealing."

"The Trump family touts its 'all in' commitment to crypto," Alexander said on X.

"Behind the scenes, however, their company has reduced its stake in one of their primary crypto ventures. I have the scoop on the backroom dealing … ."
