Before the military imposed its 2021 COVID-19 shot requirement, Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 Brandon Budge had built an impeccable 18-year career flying Black Hawk helicopters. His trajectory changed dramatically when he refused the COVID shot on principle—a stance that now threatens to end his career.

Update at bottom of article Mary Grace Westman has retained a criminal defense attorney.
…The FBI is investigating the mass shooting as a domestic terror attack and a hate crime against Catholics.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara, who has repeatedly stated he just can’t figure out the motive behind the anti-Catholic transgender shooter’s mass shooting, told the press on Thursday that Westman’s mother is not cooperating with law enforcement.
“We have not been successful in talking to the shooter’s mother,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said. Continue…

The very first issue that the panel discussed was the shooting in Minnesota this week by a young man who believed he was female, or at least wanted to live that way.
Gutfeld tore into Democrats and the media for encouraging these delusions and for hiding the shooter’s identity when it was politically inconvenient for them.

South Korea’s Ruling Party Pushes “Special Court for Rebellion” – A Communist-Style Assault on Judicial Independence
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/south-koreas-ruling-party-pushes-special-court-rebellion/

Korea’s pro-China totalitarian leader met with President Trump this week at the White House.

On August 28, 2025, South Korea’s Democratic Party (DP) crossed a dangerous line. In response to the judiciary’s rejection of an arrest warrant for former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, the DP not only condemned the courts but also moved to create a so-called “Special Court for Rebellion.”
This is not a normal judicial measure. It is an attempt to strip authority from ordinary courts and build a parallel tribunal designed to guarantee convictions. In reality, this amounts to the creation of a Communist-style pseudo-court—courts in appearance, but not in substance—serving as instruments of political repression.

In an exclusive statement to Talking Points Memo UM shared, “The University of Michigan, including Michigan Medicine, is one of multiple institutions across the country that has received a federal subpoena as part of a criminal and civil investigation into gender-affirming care for minors.”
“In light of that investigation, and given escalating external threats and risks, we will no longer provide gender affirming hormonal therapies and puberty blocker medications for minors.”

This is so typical. For all of the Democrats’ talk of getting ‘big money’ out of politics, they are the worst culprits of using big money to advance their agenda when it suits them.

BREAKING: Housing Regulator Bill Pulte Sends SECOND Criminal Referral on Embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook After She’s Allegedly Caught Lying on 3rd Property
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/breaking-housing-regulator-bill-pulte-sends-second-criminal/
Lisa is Cooked!
Lisa Cook apparently owns three properties and she allegedly committed mortgage fraud on all three properties.
Housing regulator Bill Pulte sent a second criminal referral on embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook after she was allegedly caught lying about a third property.
According to Pulte, Cook misrepresented a condominium in Cambridge, Massachusetts when she claimed it was a “second home”. Eight months later, Cook signed an ethics form with the US Government and represented the Cambridge property as an “investment/rental property.”
Banks and lenders give more favorable loan terms and lower interest rates for second homes. Mortgage loans on investment properties have higher interest rates because they are considered high risk.
“In subsequent filings from 2022 to 2025, Cook consistently listed this property as an investment/rental property, not a second home,” Pulte said.

Argentina declares the Cartel de los Soles an international terrorist organization, joining the diplomatic offensive against the criminal network linked to Nicolás Maduro’s regime.
Paraguay President Santiago Peña signed a decree classifying the Cartel of the Suns, allegedly led by Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, as an international terrorist organization, and urged their citizens to leave the country immediately.
The Republic of Guyana expressed ‘support for a collaborative and integrated approach to tackle transnational organized crime’.
Even unprompted, Trinidad & Tobago’s Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar formally backed the deployment of US Navy Vessels against drug cartels, and even in the event of a Venezuelan invasion of Guyana over the Essequibo Region, allowing USN access.
And then, there’s Brazil.
While Brasilia hasn’t even formally recognized Maduro’s presidency, everyone expects Lula da Silva to help his socialist counterpart.
A news website specialized in military affairs reported that Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be preparing ‘Operation Imeri’, with the objective of rescuing Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Lula’s government denied the report – but no one was quite convinced.
As all this is happening, US GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez said that Nicolas Maduro’s wife could turn him in because she ‘intends to rule Venezuela’. Continue…

President Trump on Wednesday fired Richard Primus, a Democrat member of the Surface Transportation Board and he is refusing to leave the post.
Primus is not only refusing to leave after being fired, but he is also threatening to file a lawsuit.
According to The Hill, Primus was fired because he did not align with Trump’s America First agenda.
“The Administration intends to nominate new, more qualified members to the Surface Transportation Board in short order,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai told The Hill.
Richard Primus wrote a lengthy message on his LinkedIn account after he was fired. He said he will file a lawsuit if he is forced out of his post. Continue…

Trump Strips Former VP Harris of Secret Service Protection
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/29/trump-strips-former-vp-harris-of-secret-service-protection/
Former Vice President Kamala Harris lost her Secret Service protection Thursday after President Donald Trump withdrew the privilege.
An Oval Office directive instructs the agency to discontinue all security procedures beyond those required by law, effective September 1, Newsweek reports.
A senior White House official confirmed the decision to the outlet via email on Friday morning.
AP notes the loss of Harris’ Secret Service protection comes as the former vice president, who became the Democratic nominee last summer after President Joe Biden was defenestrated by party minions, readies to embark on a national book tour for her memoir, titled 107 Days.
The book is scheduled to be released next month alongside the tour, as Breitbart News reported.
Harris originally had her protection extended by Biden from beyond the traditional six months previously afforded VP’s after they leave office.
CNN notes Biden’s order to extend was secret – not made public until now – signed by him shortly before leaving office, according to multiple people familiar with the undisclosed arrangement.

Kiev restricts mass gatherings after anti-government protests
https://www.rt.com/russia/623662-ukraine-mass-gatherings-military/
Zelensky’s attempt to strip the independence of anti-graft bodies triggered mass demonstrations last month
The Ukrainian authorities have introduced a requirement that all mass gatherings receive prior approval from the military, according to local media and an official. The move comes weeks after Vladimir Zelensky faced widespread protests over his attempt to curtail the independence of anti-corruption agencies.
The restriction, attributed to security concerns, was reported this week based on a leaked instruction from Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko to senior officials. The document outlined a general regulation for mass gatherings under martial law and stated that in Kiev, organizers must obtain permission directly from the General Staff.
On Friday, Nikolay Kalashnik, the head of the Kiev Region administration, confirmed the policy in comments about a recent event – a small concert that he said sparked complaints from residents and had not been approved by the military. Continue…

Man claims women’s golf championship in Victoria
https://www.rebelnews.com/man_claims_womens_golf_championship_in_victoria
Another women’s trophy has been taken by a man, this time it's a recidivist title snatcher who has competed under multiple female aliases.
Veronica Ivy, 43, a trans-identified male, recently won the Olympic View Golf Club’s Ladies Club Championship in Victoria, B.C., after only starting to compete this year. He announced his victory on Instagram. This story was first reported by Amy Hamm at Reduxx.
The club, which normally posts winners online, remained silent, with no announcement or photos.
This wasn't Ivy's first women's golf victory. Earlier this month, he helped Team B.C. win the Margaret Todd Trophy by eight shots at the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship. Despite a 14-year break, Ivy was "shocked" at his rapid success.
Ivy, formerly Rachel McKinnon, sparked controversy by winning the Women's Masters Track Cycling World Championships in 2018 and 2019. This led to the 2023 cycling federation ban on biological males in women's events.
Ivy also faced criticism for extreme comments, including wishing death upon women who oppose male participation in female sports and mocking Magdalen Berns' cancer death.

Taxpayers stuck with $93K bill for CBC's vanity awards
https://www.rebelnews.com/taxpayers_stuck_with_93k_bill_for_cbcs_vanity_awards
To even be considered for one of the awards, outlets must pay a fee of $95 to $190 depending on category. Not surprisingly, the CBC dominates the nominee list. This year, 65% of national nominees and 72% of Prairie nominees were CBC entries.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has spent $93,058 of taxpayers’ money since 2019 just to enter and attend the Radio Television Digital News Association of Canada (RTDNA) awards, according to new records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
“Taxpayers should not be paying for CBC bureaucrats to travel to awards galas,” said Kris Sims, CTF Alberta director. “Many private newsrooms don’t bother with these awards because the odds of winning are slim, and the costs are high. But the CBC has a firehose of taxpayer cash to waste.” Continue…
Canada’s $200M COVID fund shows millions misspent with zero oversight
https://www.rebelnews.com/canada_s_200m_covid_fund_shows_millions_misspent_with_zero_oversight
A federal audit reveals that the Public Health Agency of Canada gave out more than $200 million in grants with minimal oversight, untrained staff, and virtually no accountability as part of their pandemic spending spree.
The Public Health Agency of Canada spent more than $200 million on a pandemic program with little oversight, according to an internal report exposed by Blacklock’s Reporter.
It reveals that PHAC disbursed $206.3 million through the “Safe Restart Agreement Contribution Program,” a subsidy initiative aimed at funding local authorities for COVID-19 research, testing, tracing, and distribution of test kits. Yet instead of rigorous accountability, millions in grants were essentially rubber-stamped, according to the program's evaluation. Continue…
City of Toronto staff are now including pronoun declarations, indigenous, and African land acknowledgements in their email signatures.
https://breaking-news.ca/city-of-toronto-staff-are-now-including-pronoun-declarations-indigenous-and-african-land-acknowledgements-in-their-email-signatures/
Toronto: Your city government is completely captured by activists.
The post by Lisa Di Felice, Integrity Commissioner for Toronto, includes an email signature with land acknowledgements for Indigenous and African peoples, reflecting a growing trend in Canadian public institutions to address historical injustices, supported by the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action, which recommended such acknowledgements to foster reconciliation.
Critics on X argue this inclusion in government communications represents “activist capture,” citing a 2023 study from the Journal of Canadian Studies showing 72% of surveyed municipal employees felt pressured to adopt these statements, suggesting potential overreach into professional neutrality.
Historically, Toronto’s land acknowledgement aligns with treaties like the Dish With One Spoon, a pre-colonial agreement between Indigenous nations, but the addition of an African acknowledgement is ridiculous.

BC Lottery Fined $1 Million for Violating Anti-Money-Laundering Rules
https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/bc-lottery-fined-1-million-for-violating-anti-money-laundering-rules-5907632?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=bc-lottery-fined-$1-million-for-violating-anti-money-laundering-rules-0
The British Columbia Lottery Corporation has been fined $1,075,000 by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) for three violations of money-laundering rules. The Crown corporation said that it is appealing the decision.
Following a compliance examination, FINTRAC found that the corporation had failed to report suspicious transactions, failed to develop and apply policies for high-risk clients, and did not take special measures for those high-risk clients. The federal agency issued the fine on July 17.
“FINTRAC works with businesses to help them understand and comply with their obligations under the Act. We are also firm in ensuring that businesses continue to do their part and we will take appropriate actions when they are needed,” FINTRAC Director and CEO Sarah Paquet said in an Aug. 28 statement.
The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), based in Kamloops, oversees all legal gambling products within the province, which includes lottery tickets, casinos, and online gambling.
Money laundering operations through the province’s casinos were the subject of a public inquiry from 2020 to 2022. The inquiry heard evidence of Chinese regime-linked criminal organizations laundering proceeds of drug operations through B.C. casinos and real estate market.
FINTRAC Findings Continue…
Federal Government Posts $3.3 Billion Deficit From April to June
https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/federal-government-posts-3-3-billion-deficit-from-april-to-june-5907999?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=federal-government-posts-$3.3-billion-deficit-from-april-to-june-0
The federal government posted a $3.3 billion deficit in the first three months of its fiscal year.
The result for the April-to-June period compared with a $2.9 billion deficit for the same stretch last year.
Revenues increased $3.5 billion or 2.9 percent from the prior year, largely due to increases in customs import duties related to Canada’s counter-tariffs on American goods, along with higher corporate and personal income tax revenues.
The Finance Department says program expenses excluding net actuarial losses rose $5 billion, or 4.6 percent.
Public debt charges decreased $100 million, or 0.6 percent, as the impact of lower interest rates on treasury bills was largely offset by higher average effective rates on an increased stock of marketable bonds.
Net actuarial losses fell $900 million, or 46.8 percent.
Toronto's last shooting range wins legal battle against chief firearms officer

The Toronto Revolver Club (TRC) took the province’s chief firearms officer (CFO) to Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice after a 2024 inspection where the Ontario Provincial Police inspector who holds the position visited the 120-year-old non-profit’s facility and issued a new shooting range approval containing several conditions.
“One of these conditions required the closure of two of the TRC’s ten firing lanes for safety reasons,” Justice Shaun Nakatsuru wrote in a recent decision.
But the judge found the CFO “has no authority to attach conditions to the shooting range approval,” according to his decision dated Aug. 25.
The court heard that under the Canada Firearms Act, the CFO can revoke the approval entirely for the Revolver Club, thus shutting down the city’s last shooting range. But he doesn’t have the power to attach conditions to an approval. Continue…

A 71-year-old man is facing charges after an elderly Jewish woman was stabbed inside an Ottawa grocery store, in an attack the police have described as a “hate-motivated crime.”
Ottawa police said the victim entered the store with a friend at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 27 where she was “approached by a man who stabbed her.”
The woman suffered “serious injuries,” police said in a press release. She was helped by store staff and transported to hospital where she was treated and later released.
Police said officers responded to the store at 1900 block of Baseline Road and arrested a male suspect without incident.
Cornwall resident Joseph Rooke has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a dangerous weapon in connection with the stabbing.
“After a thorough investigation” it was determined the attack was a “hate-motivated crime,” police said, noting that the suspect and the victim were not known to each other before the incident. Continue…
Carney’s UN-Backed Green Bank Alliance Pauses Activities While Members Vote on ‘New Framework’

A global green bank alliance, which Prime Minister Mark Carney helped create, is pausing its activities while its members vote on whether the alliance will be restructured following the withdrawal of numerous members.
The United Nations-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) says it has initiated a vote for its member banks to decide on a proposal to transition “from a membership-based alliance to establishing its guidance as a new framework initiative.” The decision to initiate the vote was based on member input, the alliance says.
“NZBA has paused its ongoing activities while members complete the current voting process and will share the outcome once voting concludes at the end of September,” the alliance said in an Aug. 27 press release.
Four of Canada’s major banks left the alliance leading up to U.S President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, including the Bank of Montreal (BMO), TD Bank, National Bank of Canada, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), who announced they were leaving the coalition on Jan. 17. Following suit, Scotia Bank announced it was leaving the pact on Jan. 20, and the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) on Jan. 31, leaving none of Canada’s “Big Six” banks represented in the group.
The Canadian banks left the alliance following the withdrawal of the six largest U.S. banks after U.S. President Donald Trump was elected on Nov. 5 last year, including Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan.
Some U.S. Republican politicians have been critical of the alliance, with U.S. Representative Andy Barr saying the alliance is meant to “weaponize the financial system and politicize it to choke off funding to legal fossil energy businesses.” Continue…
