Doctor Faces 35 Years In Prison For Issuing COVID-19 Cards To No-Vax Patients
[ZH] Vero Beach, Fla. Huh?- Utah plastic surgeon Dr. Kirk Moore is facing thirty five years in federal prison for destroying thousands of vials of COVID-19 vaccine, giving his patients vaccine cards without taking the shots, and injecting saline into children whose parents wanted them to believe they got vaccinated without risking the deadly side effects.

Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., 58, who operates his practice Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah, Inc. in Salt Lake County, Utah, begins his trial on Monday, July 7, 2025, at the Orrin G. Hatch U.S. Courthouse, located at 351 S. West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah.

As of this writing, a 'GiveSendGo' donation campaign for him is at just under $140,000

A rally that day at the steps of the courthouse at 350 South Maine Street, Salt Lake City, UT, is being organized by We Are The People Utah

and will include veterans of the health freedom movement, such as vaccine safety activist Robert Scott Bell, as well as the team that produced the film Died Suddenly, Dr. Moore’s son Michael, Jason Preston, host of the organizing group, and Mike Schultz, the speaker Utah’s House of Representatives

Countless other prominent figures in the MAHA sphere, such as Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, will be joining online to stand with Dr. Moore.

Follow @DiedSuddenly_ on X for updates over the next three weeks as the trial progresses

Government Corruption
CIA review suggests Brennan misled Congress on Steele Dossier and 2016 intel, lawmakers want probe
[JustTheNews] An anal probe, with a cactus, please
A new report by the CIA revealed new details about infirmities and failures with the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment of Russian influence in the 2016 election, criticizing now-former CIA Director John Brennan for his actions and raising the possibility he may have misled Congress. Brennan is currently a Senior National Security Analyst for NBC.

Last week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe released a "lessons learned" review of the December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). That review sharply criticized Brennan for allegedly joining with anti-Trump forces in the FBI, pushing to include British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s baseless anti-Trump dossier in the assessment. In the review, the CIA’s new review also critiqued the “high confidence” assessment by the FBI and the CIA that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had “aspired” to help President Donald Trump win in 2016.

Now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., spoke on the John Solomon Reports podcast for Just the News on Monday, arguing that the Justice Department should investigate Brennan over his denials about pushing to include the Steele dossier in the ICA. The former congressman said that “there’s a pretty clear shot at Brennan for a review of lying to Congress.”

Brennan was not one of the recipients of then-President Biden's 4,245 pardons or clemency granted, and lying to Congress can be a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 1001, which forbids making false statements to the federal government, including Congress. Unlike perjury, it is not limited to statements made under oath, but the statement must be "materially false" and made knowingly and willfully.

Federal judge pauses Trump administration's Planned Parenthood defunding measure
[FoxNews] A federal judge on Monday prevented the Trump administration from enforcing part of a massive tax and spending bill that would block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood health centers.

The temporary restraining order by Judge Indira Talwani in Massachusetts blocks the "big, beautiful bill's" provision to defund the family planning provider.

At issue is the provision in the new tax and spending bill signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4 that eliminates one year of Medicaid payments from Planned Parenthood health centers because the organization also provides abortions.

A White House official told Fox News Digital that the Trump administration is committed to ending the use of federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortions. The official noted that the administration's stance is a commonsense position that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with.

On Monday, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and Planned Parenthood Association of Utah filed a lawsuit in federal court.

"The prohibition specifically targets Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its member health care providers in order to punish them for lawful activity, namely advocating for and providing legal abortion access wholly outside the Medicaid program and without using any federal funds," the lawsuit states.

If allowed to stand, Planned Parenthood said the provision would have "devastating consequences" for the more than 1 million patients who use Medicaid as their insurance at Planned Parenthood health centers across the country to get birth control and cancer screenings, among other services.

Dominique Lee, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, said the organization has a long history of fighting for sexual and reproductive freedom.

"The Trump administration’s hell-bent ambitions to close our clinics and abandon our patients won’t stop us. Let me be crystal clear: We are not intimidated. We were built for this moment," she said. "Here in Massachusetts, we fight back, and we will never be bullied into turning our backs on health care or human rights."

#1  BBB made it law. Unless Judge Indira Talwani can demonstrate that is unconstitutional, she has no power to intervene unless she decides she is the law.
