Interesting they trotted out Vance this morning. Was Trump sleeping? Incoherent more than usual?

Vance was up there faking anger and righteousness. Where was Trump?

Any possibility of Trump's speech last night being AI?

So much analysis going around on social media. A lot of speculation that it was AI. I didn’t watch it and have no opinion, just wondering what you all think.

Noem accuses Portland of covering up terrorism

She figured it out. Yep, it’s a coverup!

Kristi Noem accuses Oregon leaders of 'covering up terrorism' after visit to Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. — A day after her surprise visit to Portland, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized elected city and state leaders while blaming antifa for political violence on Wednesday. Noem accused the Portland mayor and the Oregon governor of "covering up the terrorism that is hitting their streets."

Noem made the remark during a roundtable meeting on antifa with President Donald Trump, held in the White House State Dining Room. They were joined by a number of administration officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI director Kash Patel, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

A handful of conservative social media influencers were also present at the roundtable. Among them was Nick Sortor, who has been at recent protests outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland.
"I was in Portland yesterday and had the chance to visit with the governor of Oregon and also the mayor. They're in town and they are absolutely covering up the terrorism that is hitting their streets," Noem said.

Conservative influencer gets arrested at PDX Ice facility last night

https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/protests/nick-sortor-arrest-portland-ice-facility/283-5c5b2295-f639-4120-97b5-dad8be4d7dd3

“PORTLAND, Ore. — Nick Sortor, a conservative influencer who has been posting videos to social media of clashes outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland this week, was arrested late Thursday night during a protest outside the facility, police said.
Sortor was among three people arrested by the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) for second-degree disorderly conduct, after police said officers saw multiple fights break out. Sortor was released from jail Friday morning.
The conservative influencer made multiple social media posts Friday morning about the arrest, in which he accused PPB of corruption, saying they're controlled by antifa. He also warned PPB to "lawyer up."
Sortor said in a post that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi called him personally Friday morning to say that she had ordered a full investigation, led by Assistant U.S. Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, into the Portland Police Bureau and Sortor's arrest.”



Looks like they’re trying everything to create a situation for Trump to call in the military .

Moderna's mNEXSPIKE vaccine

I got a prescription for the vaccine and got my shot Monday afternoon. Just a few hours of feeling malaise and a sore arm, that was it. Usually after every Covid shot, I have a very strong reaction, fever, chills, and a very sore arm with a rash.
I looked at my paperwork and I received the mNEXSPIKE, which is a new lower dose, resulting in potential less side effects and a stronger immune response. Yay for science!

“With the benefit of years of real-world data and a deeper understanding of the virus, we explored if alternative vaccine design strategies could be more effective. mNEXSPIKE was born from this continued push for excellence. Its streamlined vaccine design aims to target key parts of the spike protein rather than the entire spike protein, and at a lower dose.”

OR, WA and CA forming their own health alliance

https://www.opb.org/article/2025/09/03/vaccines-oregon-washington-california-cdc/

The democratic governors of Oregon, Washington and California are forming a new public health partnership aimed at preserving access to vaccines.

The partnership, called the Western Health Alliance, will develop its own immunization guidelines “informed by respected national medical organizations,” according to a press release Wednesday from Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson and California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“The CDC has become a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science, ideology that will lead to severe health consequences. California, Oregon, and Washington will not allow the people of our states to be put at risk,” the governors said in a joint prepared statement.

Their announcement comes after a week of chaos at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Roads closed around Walter Reed?

Read that on Threads. Checked it out on Maps and I see road closures. Is that normal?

What's with the blurry pics of Trump being released?

It’s like hunting for Bigfoot or something. It’s 2025, shouldn’t camera lenses be a bit better?
Instead of blurry Getty images, put him up in front of mics and cameras and let him speak. This cover up is really getting ridiculous.
