News Weakly - 8/23/2025

Standing Up
The American Academy of Pediatrics has broken with the CDC on their recommendation for COVID-19 for children ages 6 months to 2 years. They're urging the need to get them vaccinated. Mind you, children under the age of 11 had the absolute lowest infection rates and deaths, but our wise and benevolent Big Pharma ... I'm sorry ... American Pediatricians urge you vaccinate your impressively safe little ones with a vaccine that doesn't prevent the disease it's supposed to vaccinate against because ... well ... "we say so."

Saying No
I read the story of the federal judge who ruled against Alina Habba, a Trump appointee, serving as U.S. attorney for New Jersey. I didn't find the rationale. It's disturbing. I'd think a conscientious judge would offer more than "I think she's operating without lawful authority." It couldn't be just an anti-Trump ruling, could it? We'll see as the legal dispute rolls on.

Going About It All Wrong
I watched on the news as federal officers began patrolling in Washington D.C. One protester had a sign urging them to get the criminal element out of D.C. with a reference to the Epstein Files ... because much of America has already convicted Trump without evidence. Like good Americans should. "Guilty without being proven." So now the DOJ has released more Epstein files ... which continue to exonerate Trump ... you know ... on that accusation. But, don't worry. Our futile-minded generation can't be bothered with evidence.

In the Spirit of Free Enterprise
I don't get this. Trump apparently has negotiated a deal with INTEL for a 10% stake in the company. Now, why the federal government would want this in a free enterprise system or why taxpayers would have to pay for this eludes me. And you guys think I like Trump.

Your Best Source for Fake News
The Bee got a bit too real this time. They did a story on a guy who said he didn't have room in his budget for tithing because they're currently spending $30K a year on travel baseball. Hey ... that's meddling! Then, in a move that's sure to anger a lot of people, God has agreed to let Trump into heaven if he repents of his sin and trusts in Christ alone for salvation. God should expect the wrath of the "cancel culture." Finally, Chuck Schumer is confident that he has never felt in danger walking in D.C. ... with his 10 bodyguards.

Must be true; I read it on the internet.

Why, in the year 2025, are we still talking about COVID-19 in young children? I mean, as far as I understand it, that particular virus isn't even around technically, since it has mutated several times. We weren't giving flu shots to young children before 2020, why are we trying to do that now? The fact that people are still afraid of a slightly more infectious flu today boggles my mind.

Saying No
Well maybe, if the Senate would do it's job rather than take it's regular breaks when it has such an active workload, the executive branch wouldn't have to do work arounds to get things done. I'm not sure how ethical firing the DA that the judges appointed was, but it certainly doesn't sound illegal. But, when we have such a complex legal code that most likely has lots of contradictions by this point, who knows.

Going About It All Wrong
Well, he was convicted of 42 crimes that nobody can identify clearly, under a judge that changed the rules about conviction in a way that made convicting him of having maybe possibly committed a crime in his life at some point. I still can't believe there's anything convicting about Trump in the Epstein files since the Biden DoJ didn't throw that at him at the time. But hey, justice is only served when people I want imprisoned are, and when people I don't want imprisoned aren't.

In The Spirit of Free Enterprise
Get the Federal government out of business! I didn't like it when the car manufacturers were bailed out. I don't like these EV mandates forcing a subpar product into market. I don't like Intel being partially owned by the government. If their product isn't good enough to make it in the market, then they should die like any other company. If my job started putting out bad work and stopped making money, I wouldn't expect or want the government to come in and subsidize my job. These are just steps toward government owned businesses that has proven catastrophic repeatedly. Free markets are the way to have better products. The government getting involved is basically forcing me to purchase products I don't want or need, but have no say in paying for it.

Stan quipped, “The Bee got a bit too real this time.” Personally, I think they do that on a regular basis, which is why we sardonic folks love it! (And why it’s my favorite part of News Weakly--it’s the real current events, in my opinion.)
