For now, it serves to provide a post-convention bounce. Later, the FBI will be right there to add more oil to the fire.”

- BREAKING: POLICE RAID CHINESE-RUN HUMAN TRAFFICKING RINGS. The Austin Police Department raided illicit “spas” secretly run by Chinese crime networks. There were no cucumber facials, just a whole lot of illegal stuff. The sting, called "Operation Coast to Coast," pulled in more than 150 law enforcement agencies from places like Texas, California, and NY. It wasn’t your average police day; officers found over 60 victims of human trafficking and arrested more than 30 people. Some of the victims were just teenagers, including a 14-year-old girl who was forced to “work” for over 10 men a day. Officials say all the cash and victims were being funneled straight back to China. They're calling it the fastest-growing form of trafficking in the U.S. So, if your “spa” has bars on the windows and a kitchen behind the massage table, it’s probably not a spa.

- Here’s a photo of @ZohranKMamdani with anti-American pro-animal abuse (and obviously Muslim) streamer Hasan Piker who said Americans deserved 9/11. This photo was taken during Mamdani’s Mayoral campaign. Tonight at the NYC Mayoral debate, he pretended like he has no association with Piker. Another Mamdani lie. (pic)

- We shouldn’t stay in the UN after this—not another day. Even though it’s great that the carbon-tax measure failed, we can be confident they’ll try it again. Americans are ill-served by continuing to legitimize the UN through our membership and dues—paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

- Democrats have now voted 11 TIMES to keep the government closed — blocking pay for troops, Border Patrol, TSA agents, air traffic controllers, and the rest of our federal workforce. Yesterday, they went EVEN FURTHER — voting against a bipartisan standalone bill to fund our national defense and pay our troops. Their message couldn’t be clearer: politics OVER patriots, and the American people LAST. (video)

- Bill Maher appears genuinely alarmed as he discusses Democrats’ growing preference for socialism over capitalism. If you thought Democrats were already flirting with communism, wait until you see these poll numbers. “I read these [poll numbers]: 74% [of Democrats] are for democratic socialism, only 16% favor capitalism.” “Is this going to be a country that I don’t recognize in five to ten years if we don’t have these two pillars [democracy and capitalism]?” Maher asked. “I mean, where are the Democrats going with this? If Mamdami is the face of the Democrats on the East Coast and Katie Porter is the face on the West Coast, I don’t know if that’s great politically for that party.” (video)

- “Women who use Depo-Provera face a higher risk of developing a slow-growing brain tumor, according to a new study that comes as the contraceptive’s maker, Pfizer, faces hundreds of lawsuits claiming that it was aware of the potential risks. For the new study, researchers examined over 61 million female patient records, finding that women who used DMPA had a twofold higher risk of getting diagnosed with meningioma compared to women not on hormonal birth control. How much more will we have to tolerate from Pfizer? (video)

- VAERS US COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports. 1,026,944 Reports(+441 from prior report) Through August 29th, 2025.
SKirsch.com:
- Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
