Today, the Trump Administration is proud to announce the United States of America’s updated Childhood Vaccination Schedule. This Schedule is rooted in the Gold Standard of Science, and widely agreed upon by Scientists and Experts all over the World. Effective today, America will no longer require 72 “jabs” for our beautiful, healthy children. We are moving to a far more reasonable Schedule, where all children will only be recommended to receive Vaccinations for 11 of the most serious and dangerous diseases. Parents can still choose to give their children all of the Vaccinations, if they wish, and they will still be covered by insurance. However, this updated Schedule finally aligns the United States with other Developed Nations around the World. Congratulations to HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy, CDC Acting Director Jim O’Neil, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, CMS Administrator Dr. Oz, NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, and all of the Medical Experts and Professionals who worked very hard to make this happen. Many Americans, especially the “MAHA Moms,” have been praying for these COMMON SENSE reforms for many years. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

China on Alert for Public Discontent After Death of Former Premier Zhu Rongji
The CCP fears public mourning for the reform-era leader could become an outlet for broader expression of dissatisfaction with the regime, an insider said.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is closely monitoring public reactions to the death of former Premier Zhu Rongji, amid concerns that mourning for the outspoken reform-era leader could become an outlet for broader dissatisfaction with the regime, according to an insider familiar with the matter.
Zhu died on Aug. 12 at the age of 97 in Beijing.
An insider within the CCP, who spoke to The Epoch Times on condition of anonymity on Aug. 12, said the regime had been closely monitoring Zhu during his final years and was particularly concerned about how the public might respond to his death.
“People may use the opportunity to mourn Zhu Rongji to express their dissatisfaction with the current reality, and it could even develop into broader social sentiment,” the insider said.
The insider said Zhu’s movements were closely monitored by personnel assigned by Cai Qi, the CCP’s top official overseeing the Party’s General Office and a close ally of Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
“There were security guards, secretaries, doctors, and nurses around Zhu Rongji who were arranged by Cai Qi, and every move he made was monitored,” the insider said. “His later medical treatment also required Cai Qi’s approval.”
These claims could not be independently verified by The Epoch Times.
Zhu, who served as premier from 1998 to 2003, was known for his aggressive economic reforms and efforts to restructure China’s state-owned enterprises and financial system. In retirement, he largely stayed out of public political life, although occasional appearances and remarks continued to attract attention.
One such moment came at the opening of the CCP’s 19th National Congress in Beijing on Oct. 18, 2017. After Xi delivered a speech lasting about three and a half hours, other CCP officials in the audience stood and applauded. Zhu, who was seated among the former senior leaders, appeared to be the only one who didn’t applaud initially. Video of the moment circulated online and prompted speculation about whether Zhu was signaling dissatisfaction with Xi, while others said the footage was being overinterpreted.
Fears of Political Mobilization
The insider said the regime’s concern over public mourning for Zhu reflects a broader fear within the CCP of spontaneous public gatherings and political expression.
“The CCP has always opposed spontaneous activities among the public,” the insider said. “Regardless of whether such activities are consistent with the regime’s goals, it will remain vigilant. Its main concern is that spontaneous action by the public could get out of control and even develop into a movement opposing the CCP.”
The insider noted the death of former Party leader Hu Yaobang in 1989 as a historical precedent. Public mourning for Hu, who had been removed from his position amid a political struggle within the Party, became a catalyst for student demonstrations that eventually spread across China and culminated in the military clampdown around Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989.
The insider explained that the CCP’s sensitivity to mass sentiment has remained unchanged.
“Once large-scale public opinion emerges, the regime will inevitably intervene,” the insider said. “The CCP has never relaxed its control over public opinion that could potentially lead to social mobilization.”
With Zhu’s death coming at a politically sensitive time in China, the insider said authorities are likely to pay particular attention to online discussions, public commemorations, and any signs that mourning is spreading beyond officially sanctioned expressions.
“After Zhu Rongji’s death, the regime will likewise be highly vigilant about public sentiment,” the insider said. “Once they discover signs that mourning activities are spreading, the situation will likely be reported quickly to the highest level of power.”

Kennedy Center votes to restore Trump’s name and close for 2 years, challenging a judge’s order
WASHINGTON (AP) — The battle over the Kennedy Center’s future escalated Thursday as President Donald Trump’s allies on the board took new steps to commemorate him with physical changes to the iconic performing arts institution that could defy a federal court order.
During an hourslong meeting that was conducted virtually, the board voted to add Trump’s name to the building’s facade so it would read “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump.” The plaza in front of the building would be named after Trump and most of the space at the venue would be closed for two years to allow for substantial renovations.
The changes, described by Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who is an ex-officio board member, and her lawyers, amount to a dramatic test of U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper.
He ruled in May that letters affixed to the building that spelled out Trump’s name were added illegally and he ordered their removal, a decision that the Republican administration failed to persuade courts to overturn. At the same time, Cooper blocked a two-year closure that was set to take effect July 5, saying an earlier board vote authorizing the shuttering was “ill-informed and seemingly preordained.”
“This latest development is a transparent effort to circumvent the Court’s ruling, and flies in the face of the statutes that Congress passed,” Beatty said in a statement. “I will continue to fight for this treasured national monument.”
A Kennedy Center representative did not respond to a request for comment.
Much of Thursday’s board meeting was expected to focus on the extent of closures required to allow for renovations that the Kennedy Center’s management says are needed to improve safety. In response to the judge’s criticism of the earlier vote, the institution’s leaders said they would provide the board with three options to consider.
They included a complete closure or a partial closure that would allow “some continued public access and limited programming in spaces unaffected” by the work. A third option would “consider a highly limited series of phased closures to address only the Center’s most serious infrastructure needs while scheduling and maintaining a full slate of programming.”
Ultimately, the board decided to close the building for two years while leaving the potential for some degree of programming to still happen in an outdoor space known as the Reach. The decision to move ahead with the two-year closure, in addition to the moves to memorialize Trump, could revive questions about whether the board seriously considered the full range of options, a point Democrats emphasized after the meeting.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat who is also an ex officio board member, criticized a “sham meeting.”
“What happened today was nothing more than a rubber stamp on a decision the President made months ago that the Board already tried to effectuate without doing proper due diligence,” he said in a statement.
