Children under ten in London are set to be offered polio booster vaccines after the virus returned to the UK for the first time in 40 years. Health chiefs declared a national incident in June after samples of the virus, which in the worst cases can paralyse or even kill, were found at a waste water site in London. A major drive is now expected to be launched by the UK Health and Security Agency to ensure children are vaccinated or receive a booster in the capital.
An announcement about the vaccine rollout is expected this week, including details on which areas will be targeted.(Snip)Children should have five doses
President Joe Biden was noticeably disoriented Monday as he struggled to put his sport coat back on during a visit to Kentucky.
During the trip back to Washington DC, the president traveled aboard Marine One and exited the helicopter at the Lexington airport wearing a mask and his aviator sunglasses. The president paused after exiting to put his sports coat back on but fumbled for several seconds as he tried to get his arms into the sleeves. He finally turned to First Lady Jill Biden for assistance after his arms got tangled. The president, still wearing his mask, finally adjusted his coat successfully but then his aviator sunglasses fell off
Washington, District of Columbia—Former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos told Breitbart News that many in the conservative movement have ignored education for decades, only to recently rediscover the “failings of the system.” “I think by and large, a lot of those in the conservative movement have been rather complacent to what has been actually going on,” she told a roundtable of reporters.(Snip)“Whether it was, you know, extended lockdowns, mask mandates, you know, woke and [critical race theory] curriculum, hyper-sexualized, age-inappropriate curriculum, or just an outright lack of robust academic quality—any or all of those things were really laid bare to families.”
In the summer of 2019, Brittany Hill was 24, and walking with her toddler daughter through Chicago’s Austin neighborhood when a sedan slowly approached, and two men opened fire.(Snip)Using a wide range of stats, Mangual shows that most American violent crime is perpetrated by a small number of criminals—primarily young men with long rap sheets—and that gun violence affects an equally small minority of Americans, mainly in New York, Chicago and other large metro areas. Just two percent of all US counties account for half the nation’s homicides, he writes, and depending on the location as many as 95 percent of the victims are black or Hispanic.
Donald Trump says his Mar-a-Lago home has been raided by the FBI.
'These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before,' he said in statement Monday night.' 'After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.' It is unclear what the raid is for, what kind of warrant is being executed and what agents are seeking.
The World Health Organization declared monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern in late July—despite the fact its own advisory panel voted 9-6 against the declaration. Shortly after, President Biden declared monkeypox a public health emergency, while Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra assured that the White House was “prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus.” Monkeypox, schmonkeypox.

A British supermarket chain is under fire for locking up a makeup product for dark-skinned shoppers while the same line for lighter-skinned women was left without any security measures. Natalie Westgate, a local mother of three, wandered into a Tesco location in West London last week and noticed the disparate security while browsing a shelf lined with Garnier SkinActive BB Cream products.
Westgate posted a photo showing the products that are traditionally marketed to minorities being encased in what appeared to be theft-proof containers. Westgate tweeted: “@tesco can you please explain this? Do white people not steal then? Absolutely disgusting and not to mention racist!!!!”
Oklahoma Sooners assistant football coach Cale Gundy has resigned from his position after he used a “shameful” word during a team meeting. The 50-year-old, whose brother Mike Gundy is the head coach at rival Oklahoma State, released a lengthy statement on social media Sunday night, announcing his resignation and apologizing for using the word, which he says he read off of a player’s iPad.
“I owe it to Sooner Nation to be transparent about what led to this decision: Last week, during a film session, I instructed my players to take notes,” the statement read. “I noticed a player was distracted and picked up his iPad and read
The American Civil Liberties Union is ramping up its battle against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott‘s border security push, filing a new complaint Monday with Homeland Security urging the department to limit how Border Patrol agents are able to work with Texas authorities. Mr. Abbott last month ordered Texas’ Department of Public Safety and the National Guard to begin arresting and transporting illegal immigrants back to the border area, where they are reportedly being turned over to the Border Patrol. The ACLU says that violates the migrants’ civil rights.(Snip)The ACLU also said the stops are increasingly dangerous. The group said it has linked 30 traffic deaths to DPS vehicle pursuits
Men drink and smoke more than women—but that is not the reason they have a higher cancer risk. A major study suggests biological differences are the real reason behind the disparity between sexes.
Understanding these differences could help to improve prevention and treatment, researchers say. The study looked at 300,000 middle-aged and older Americans who did not have cancer over 15 years. Men were more than twice as likely to develop the disease compared to women—even when lifestyle factors were ruled out.(Snip)The findings, published in the journal CANCER, show 17,951 cancers were detected among men, while just 8,742 were diagnosed among women.
Sen. Lindsey Graham gave credit Sunday to President Biden for several bipartisan legislative accomplishments, such as on infrastructure, gun control and social media. The praise from the South Carolina Republican came as Senate Democrats were advancing their tax and climate spending bill along party lines, a move that has infuriated Republicans amid the highest inflation rate in four decades. “He’s signed things that made sense. The infrastructure bill, the gun thing, we’ve been working on this for years. We sort of found the sweet spot,” Mr. Graham said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”(Snip)Mr. Graham, who was interviewed with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut Democrat, also offered kind words
Freight ships carrying almost 170,000 tonnes of grain and other products set sail from Ukraine's Black Sea ports this morning as part of a U.N.-brokered deal to protect the export of vital foodstuffs from the nation amid war with Russia.

President Joe Biden’s staff claimed Monday they did not know about the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s house at Mar-A-Lago.
“No advance knowledge. Some learned from old media some from social media,” a senior White House official told CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe when asked about the raid.
Fox News journalist Pat Ward also cited a comment from a White House official denying they did not receive notice of the raid and referred reporters to the Justice Department.
President Joe Biden returned to the White House from his trip to view flood damage in Kentucky at about 6:00 p.m. and his staff called a “lid” for the day at 6:29 p.m.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday after a second bus full of illegal migrants arrived at his doorstep.
Adams gave a news conference Sunday morning at the Port Authority where he greeted an incoming bus of around 40 migrants — only 14 of whom disembarked in the Big Apple."This is horrific when you think about what the governor is doing," Adams said, noting that many of the arriving families did not realize they were coming to New York City.
According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Trump was not at Mar-a-Lago when the FBI showed up.(Tweet) And, Politico’s Ryan Lizza reported that the Department of Justice declined to comment.

Manchin, Sinema, and the Oldest Profession

With inflation raging and the shadow of recession looming, it’s difficult to envision a worse time to pass a tax-and-spend bill like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Yet, that’s just what Senate Democrats did Sunday. It’s even harder to imagine that “moderate” Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), both of whom voted for the bill, believe it will live up to its Orwellian name. If so, they are at odds with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), hundreds of economists, millions of Americans, and even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Smears Florida Governor Ron DeSantis As “Dangerous” 21 replies
There are factions of conservative Republicans who are steadfast in their opposition to Donald Trump, and accordingly, they approve of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and her efforts opposing the former president. ‘Never-Trumpers,’ they’re sometimes called. There aren’t many, but you may indeed know a few. Trump is a narcissist, and Liz is just standing up to him, they’ll tell us. Trump attacked our democracy on January 6th, and Cheney is protecting our country, they’ll insist. Liz is the one who’s an authentic Republican, not a Johnny-come-lately like Mr. Trump, they’ll say.
But Liz Cheney has now lifted the veil. She’s not some principled, well-intentioned conservative
Even before he became president, the now-79-year-old Joe Biden faced serious and persistent questions about his mental health. Among average Americans, those questions have become a major issue, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The I&I/TIPP Poll, conducted online from Aug. 2-4 among 1,335 adults nationwide, shows that a 59% majority now say they are “very concerned” (36%) or “somewhat concerned” about Biden’s mental health.
That compares with just 39% saying they are “not very concerned” (18%) or “not at all concerned” (21%). Only 2% of respondents said they were “not sure.” The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.8 percentage points.
The TWA 800 Whistleblower Is Legit

In the past few weeks, I have received numerous inquiries about ten-year Navy veteran William Henry Teele III. After years of quietly providing information to me and other investigators into the July 1996 destruction of TWA Flight 800 off the coast of Long Island, Teele has gone public and is naming names.
I shared some of Teele’s information in my 2016 book, TWA 800: The Crash, The Cover-Up, The Conspiracy. Teele did not claim to be on the ship that fired the missile. He was on the USS Carr, a guided missile frigate that was one of the “combatants” in the battle group that destroyed the unfortunate 747
