You know you are doing something right in the government if you’re liberal cousin is calling for you to step down. Joe Kennedy III has called for his older cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to step down from his role as HHS Secretary. The former Massachusetts lawmaker even said his cousin was a “threat” to Americans’ health and well-being. Fox News reported more details on the family drama: Joe Kennedy III on Friday denounced his cousin Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as “a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American” in a blistering social media post. The rare public rebuke comes one day after RFK Jr.’s contentious Senate hearing, deepening a family feud that has fractured one of America’s most famous political dynasties. Kennedy’s statement, viewed more than 1.2 million times, opens the curtain behind the extraordinary rift inside the political dynasty. Once synonymous with Democrat unity, the Kennedys are now split over RFK Jr.’s embrace of President Donald Trump and his appointment to HHS Secretary under a “Make America Healthy Again” agenda. Joe Kennedy’s demand that his cousin resign marks a dramatic escalation of the feud.

A United States Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with protecting the public health of our country and its people. At yesterday’s hearing, he chose to do the opposite: to dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion. None of us will be spared the pain he is inflicting. It doesn’t matter how rich or powerful you are or what state you live in— the heartbreak of watching a loved one fall ill knows no borders. The challenges before us-from disease outbreaks to mental health crises-demand moral clarity, scientific expertise, and leadership rooted in fact. Those values are not present in the Secretary’s office. He must resign.

Kennedy Jr.’s sister Kerry Kennedy echoed these concerns, condemning her brother over inaccurate medical statements and poor public health advice. “Medical decisions belong in the hands of trained and licensed professionals, not incompetent and misguided leadership. The decimation of critical institutions, like the NIH [National Institutes of Health] and the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], will lead to the loss of innocent lives. This means that children, mothers, fathers, and those you love are at risk now, like never before,” Kerry Kennedy wrote in a post on X.

So much “freedom” in America that you can’t even use your home how you prefer to use it in a way that’s not hurting anyone else.  Yes, we just can’t have that!  Definitely not in the far-left state of Oregon. Authorities in Oregon have arrested a man who was secretly living inside the crawl space of a condo for several months. The man reportedly lived there for several months and even decked out the crawlspace with lights, a bed, and chargers. CBS reported the full scoop on the man’s actions and how he was discovered: Authorities this week said they discovered a man who had been living for some time in the crawl space of a condo near Portland, Oregon, that had been outfitted with various items, including lights, chargers and a bed. He also appeared to have changed the locks on the doors of the space. According to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, the situation unfolded a little before 11 p.m. local time Wednesday when deputies were called to a condo complex near Happy Valley, a small city located just southeast of Portland, after a witness reported seeing a man who wasn’t known as a resident parking his car and walking toward the back of one of the buildings. The witness also reported seeing the door to a crawl space open and a light on inside, the sheriff’s office said. By the time deputies arrived, the crawl space door was locked, the sheriff’s office said, but they noticed the door was damaged and there was an extension cord running through a vent. Deputies then contacted the condo’s owner, who, after confirming the crawl space should not have anyone inside or any lights on, said they had previously heard “strange noises” coming from it, the sheriff’s office said. Deputies tried to open the crawl space door with the owner’s keys, but they did not work, officials said. When they breached the door, they discovered 40-year-old Beniamin Bucur inside. Bucur appeared to have been living for an “extended period of time” in the crawl space, which contained a bed, lights, televisions, chargers and other electronics that were plugged into the condo’s power source, the sheriff’s office said.

Beniamin Bucur, 40, had been ‘living there for an extended period of time’ and was charged with first-degree burglary and unlawful possession of methamphetamine. Police were tipped off after a witness spotted a man who didn’t live at the complex parking his car there and sneaking around the back of the building. The witness also saw an open door to the crawl space with light coming from the inside before the door suddenly closed. At the scene, police found the crawl space door damaged and locked, as well as a an extension cord snaking through a vent. The owner’s key didn’t work, so officers broke in to make the startling discovery.

Here we go again! I thought we were done with COVID? Health officials in California have reported a dramatic spike in COVID-19 cases as Summer comes to a close. California health leaders are currently urging residents to wear masks to indoor events and have second thoughts about attending large gatherings. California is continuing to see high levels of COVID-19 and increased hospitalizations. If you’re feeling sick, take these steps to protect yourself and others. Learn more: https://t.co/UqPYkNWTXM pic.twitter.com/Bq6GgqTWgA — California Department of Public Health (@CAPublicHealth) September 6, 2025 NBC Palm Springs had more details to report on the new mask recommendations: California is experiencing another summer wave of COVID-19, with tests, hospital visits, and wastewater data all showing an uptick in cases. From Los Angeles to the Bay Area and Sacramento, public health officials are recommending that residents consider wearing masks again in indoor public spaces until case levels subside. Despite the increase in infections, hospitalizations remain relatively low compared to previous waves. Health leaders say that is a positive sign but still caution that preventative measures, including masking, can help limit spread in crowded settings. The guidance has sparked mixed reactions. Some residents say reminders about masking feel like “deja vu fatigue,” while others note that masks only work effectively when worn properly. Experts emphasize that surgical masks offer limited protection, and the best results come from properly fitted KN95 or N95 masks. Looking ahead, health officials say schools, concerts, and other large gatherings may need to adapt if the wave lingers into the fall. For now, they urge Californians to stay cautious and protect those most vulnerable, while stressing that current data does not point to severe outcomes at the level seen in previous years. Traveling? The U.S. is experiencing a summer COVID-19 surge. Lower your chance of catching COVID-19 by masking in indoor public places like airports and planes. Wear a high-quality mask like an N95, KN95 or KF94 to stay protected.

Yolo County’s health officer, Dr. Aimee Sisson, said in a press release last Friday that anyone over the age of 2 should wear a mask while indoors when wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) are “high.” When these levels are “medium,” people at high risk of severe COVID-19 (older adults, people with underlying medical conditions or people with weakened immune systems) should wear masks. Newsweek has contacted the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency and the California Department of Health Care Services via email for comment. What do you think?

Well, this is a new one. A 62-year-old woman from Orange County, CA has just been charged with multiple felonies after registering her dog,”Maya,” to vote and casting mail-in ballots in its name. Laura Lee Yourex of Costa Mesa, CA used her dog’s name to vote in elections at least twice — once in Gavin Newsom’s recall election in 2021 and in the 2022 primaries. She is now facing up to six years in prison, if convicted. Bill Melugin of Fox News has more details: NEW: The Orange County, CA DA’s office has charged a Costa Mesa woman w/ illegally registering her dog to vote in California and casting mail in ballots in her dog’s name.

The dog’s vote was successfully counted in the 2021 recall of Governor Newsom, but was rejected in the 2022 primary. 62-year-old Laura Lee Yourex now faces six felonies. One felony count of perjury, one felony count of procuring or offering a false or forged document to be filed, two felony counts of casting a ballot when not entitled to vote, and one felony count of registering a non-existent person to vote. Per OC DA office: “Proof of residence or identification is not required for citizens to register to vote in California elections nor is it required to cast a ballot in state elections. However, proof of residence and registration is required for first-time voters to vote in a federal election.  As a result, the 2022 primary ballot cast in Maya Jean’s name (the dog) was challenged and rejected. The 2021 election to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom was voted down by 61.9% of voters. The woman also posted photos of her dog on social media with an “I voted” sticker. The dog was registered to vote under the full name “Maya Jean Yourex.” According to social media posts from Laura, “Maya” continued to get her ballot even after passing away . The full Orange County DA press release reads: A Costa Mesa woman has been charged with five felonies for illegally registering her dog to vote and casting ballots in her dog’s name in the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary election. The dog’s vote was successfully counted in the 2021 gubernatorial recall election but was rejected in the 2022 primary. Laura Lee Yourex, 62, of Costa Mesa, has been charged with one felony count of perjury, one felony count of procuring or offering a false or forged document to be filed, two felony counts of casting a ballot when not entitled to vote, and one felony count of registering a non-existent person to vote. Yourex is scheduled to be arraigned at the Stephen K. Tamura West Justice Center in Westminster on September 9, 2025, in Department W12. She faces a maximum sentence of six years in state prison if convicted on all counts. On October 28, 2024, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office was contacted by the Orange County Registrar of Voter’s Office about a resident who self-reported that she had registered her dog to vote and had in fact cast a mail-in ballot she received addressed to her dog, Maya Jean Yourex, for the 2021 gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary election. According to the California Elections Code, in order to vote a person must be registered as a voter by filling out and submitting an Affidavit of Registration which includes the voter’s name, residence, mailing address, date of birth, political party preference and a certification that the voter is a citizen of the United States. The affidavit must be signed under penalty of perjury. Proof of residence or identification is not required for citizens to register to vote in state elections nor is it required to cast a ballot in state elections. However, proof of residence and registration is required for first time voters to vote in a federal election. As a result, the 2022 primary ballot cast in Maya Jean’s name was challenged and rejected. The 2021 election to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom was voted down by 61.9% of voters. Following an investigation by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Investigation, sufficient evidence was discovered to file criminal charges against Yourex for illegally registering her dog to vote and then casting mail-in ballots issued to her dog based on the fraudulent voter registration. On her social media, Yourex posted in January 2022 a picture of her dog wearing an “I voted” sticker and posing with her ballot. Another post from October 2024, showed a photograph of Maya’s dog tag and a vote-by-mail ballot with the caption “maya is still getting her ballot” even though the dog had previously passed away. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon recently sued Orange County for refusing to provide voter records for review. She responded to this insane development on X: And yet…Orange County refused to provide @CivilRights with voter registration records they are required to produce on demand. We had to sue! What next, someone’s pet llama or support peacock on the rolls?! We will find the whole darn menagerie by the time we are done! https://t.co/4e4MbTGqWu — AAGHarmeetDhillon (@AAGDhillon) September 6, 2025 No matter how much you love your dog and consider her a part of your family, that doesn’t give her the right to vote! This made me chuckle: It’s now official–Voting in California has gone to the dogs. pic.twitter.com/vf9DU3LD8s — Albert Latham (@albert1776) September 5, 2025 But, in all seriousness, one has to wonder how many other people’s pets are registered to vote in California, as well as dead people and illegal aliens. Not only do the voter rolls need to be purged, but this case just presents more evidence as to why we need to end mail-in voting. This woman couldn’t have walked in with her dog to a polling booth and cast its vote. In this case, as well as so many others, the fraud is only made possible by mail-in voting. Luckily, President Trump plans on ending it soon. More on that here: President Trump Reveals His Secret Weapon To Ensure Victory In Midterm Elections What do you think?

Actor Charlie Sheen let it all out in the air during his latest interview. In an interview with People magazine, Charlie Sheen revealed he was being blackmailed with his past sexual encounters. In the interview, Sheen revealed for the first time ever that during his drug addiction days he had several sexual encounters with men. He continued to share that he was extorted during this time and paid people off to keep his encounters a secret. Charlie Sheen opens up about sexual encounters with men for the first time: ‘So what?’ https://t.co/AS6XVTUoQ5 pic.twitter.com/v5iPJiLbIr — New York Post (@nypost) September 5, 2025 Fox News reported more on Sheen being extorted in the past: Charlie Sheen is speaking out for the first time about his past sexual encounters with men. In his upcoming memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” and Netflix documentary, “aka Charlie Sheen,” the 60-year-old actor opened up about deciding to try something new after years of being with only women. “I flipped the menu over,” Sheen said in the documentary, according to People magazine. In the documentary, the “Two and a Half Men” alum reflected on how he felt about revealing publicly that he had previously slept with men. “Liberating. It’s f—ing liberating… [to] just talk about stuff,” he said, per People. Sheen continued, “It’s like a train didn’t come through the side of the restaurant. A f—ing piano didn’t fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me.” In an interview with People, published Friday, the Golden Globe Award winner — who has been open about his past substance abuse — said he began having sexual encounters with men after he started smoking crack. “That’s what started it,” he told People. “That’s where it was born, or sparked. And in whatever chunks of time that I was off the pipe, trying to navigate that, trying to come to terms with it — ‘Where did that come from?… Why did that happen?’ — and then just finally being like, ‘So what?’ So what? Some of it was weird. A lot of it was f—ing fun, and life goes on.” In an interview with “Good Morning America,” which aired on Friday, Sheen explained why he kept his sexual encounters with men a secret. “There was another element to it that it did come with a tremendous amount of extortion,” Sheen said. “And so, at the time, I was just like, ‘Alright, let’s just pay to keep it quiet. And just hope it just stays over there, make it go away, you know? Make it go away.’” Sheen shared that he felt he was being “held hostage” adding, “It’s a bad feeling.” “I just need to be free of that … and then see how the world feels if people know that stuff,” he said. “Because I’ve written a story all these years about, ‘Oh jeez, if I ever reveal that, then this has to be how I’d be dealt with, how I’d be treated, how they’d feel.’” Charlie Sheen Recently Confessed He Was Probably a S*x Addict After Spending $53K on Prostitutes, Admits Sleeping With Men: “It Came With Tremendous Amount of Extortion” pic.twitter.com/YmOqu0qGDG — Raphousetv (RHTV) (@raphousetv2) September 5, 2025 Crack isn’t the only drug that can make you have sex with men.

This is quite a bizarre lawsuit. Priscilla Presley’s former business partners are suing her for allegedly being involved in Elvis’ death. Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko have sued Presley for $50 million for allegedly putting pressure on Elvis, which ultimately led to his sudden death. Priscilla Presley Lawsuit Update Accuses Her Of Pushing Elvis to His Death: ‘Calculated Sociopath’https://t.co/EzpmEARAEL — billboard (@billboard) September 5, 2025 Fox News had the following details to share on the lawsuit: Priscilla Presley is fighting back against accusations that she pushed her husband, Elvis Presley, to his death. On Friday, Priscilla’s former business partners, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, amended their $50 million lawsuit against Priscilla, alleging that she was involved in Elvis’ death. In the amended lawsuit obtained by Fox News Digital, Kruse and Fialko allege Priscilla wasn’t happy with her divorce settlement from Elvis. “Despite enriching herself and extorting millions of dollars from Elvis, she then placed a lien on Graceland on or around April 29, 1977, in the amount of $494,024.49, adding pressure to Elvis less than four months before he died,” the lawsuit stated. Kruse and Fialko alleged that this “exerted undue pressure” on Elvis and pushed “him to his death.” Elvis Presley was Priscilla’s “first victim” — at least according to her ex-business partners, who sued her for $50M and claimed she pulled Lisa Marie off life support… but Priscilla strongly denies the claims. Read more: https://t.co/G1ytdhwoYY pic.twitter.com/0qC10cnnsn — TMZ (@TMZ) September 6, 2025 People reported how Priscilla has responded  to the new claim: Priscilla, 80, has denied the claims. Her attorney Marty D. Singer said in a statement to PEOPLE: “Priscilla did not have anything to do with the assassination of JFK, she did not cover up Area 51, she did not fake the moon landing, and she is not secretly keeping Bigfoot locked in a cabin in Canada.” “Take off the aluminum foil hat and face reality,” Singer added. “This lawsuit concerns Ms. Presley’s claims against Ms. Kruse (and her co-conspirators) in which she alleges that Ms. Kruse engaged in a relentless and calculated campaign of elder abuse and fraud in order to take control of Ms. Presley’s finances for her own benefit. Ms. Kruse’s allegations are absurd and despicable, but unfortunately, are not surprising. Ms. Presley looks forward to holding Ms. Kruse and her co-conspirators liable for their wrongful acts.” In response, Jordan Matthews of Holtz Matthews LLP, who represents Kruse and Fialko, said: “Apparently, Ms. Presley’s defense is to list off nonsense hyperbolic statements that have no substance. The documents are in black and white and speak volumes. To date, Ms. Presley has presented zero evidence in support of her salacious claims, and we intend to hold her accountable for her reckless behavior.” The amended complaint marks the latest development in the legal dispute between Presley and her former business associates. A judge has not yet ruled on the claims. Kruse and Fialko filed suit against Priscilla in August, alleging that she “schemed” to defraud them, and ignored her daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s health concerns shortly before she died in an attempt to “regain control” of her estate — allegations that Priscilla has denied.

A trillion is a lot of zeros. Tesla CEO Elon Musk may soon become the world’s first trillionaire. Musk’s chance of becoming the world’s first trillionaire comes from a new pay package Tesla is offering him. The pay package includes over 420 million shares of Tesla stock, which will not make a him a trillionaire but if Tesla’s value rises, he will be on the door of becoming a trillionaire. If Elon Musk achieves his compensation plan, it would make him a Trillionaire. Our traders forecast the first trillionaire to be: • Elon Musk 43% • Mark Zuckerberg 7% • Jensen Huang 5% • Sam Altman 5% • Larry Ellison 3% • Larry Page 2% • Jeff Bezos 1% pic.twitter.com/08THxEj6LC — Kalshi (@Kalshi) September 5, 2025 CNN reported a more in-depth report on how Musk may soon make all of those zeros:   Elon Musk, already the world’s richest person, could become the first trillionaire after the Tesla board unveiled a massive new pay package for its CEO to keep his focus on the troubled EV maker. The package would grant him additional shares of Tesla stock if the company is able to grow far beyond its current value, with a market capitalization far greater than any company has ever approached. Musk’s previous pay package, which added significantly to his massive wealth, also laid out ambitious growth plans that once appeared to be a reach – but which Tesla proved able to reach easily. The new pay package could grant Musk 423.7 million additional shares of Tesla stock. Those shares would be be worth $143.5 billion at today’s stock value. But Musk would get those shares only if the value of Tesla stock increases significantly in coming years. The company stock would need to reach an overall value of $8.5 trillion for Musk to get all the shares, significantly above the current market capitalization of $1.1 trillion Those 423.7 million new shares that Musk would get under this package would be worth close to $1 trillion should the company hit the increased valuation targets spelled out in Friday’s proxy statement. If Tesla shares are able to reach the $8.5 billion market capitalization value, it could become the most valuable company ever. It would be worth roughly double the current market value of Nvidia (NVDA), the current most-valuable company on the market. Tesla is already the most valuable automaker by a large margin, even though legacy automakers, like second-most valuable automaker Toyota, sell far more vehicles and now make more profits. Musk is currently the world’s richest man and has a net worth of $378 million. Bank Rate provided details who is now currently on the top 5 richest people on the earth: 1. Elon Musk: $378 billion Elon Musk is one of the most controversial business figures, but what’s not under dispute is his wealth. Born in South Africa, Musk built Tesla into a leading player in the electric vehicle market, and is pushing space travel with his SpaceX venture. Musk made a small fortune as an early shareholder of PayPal, and more recently purchased Twitter, which he renamed X. Musk has courted controversy in recent years, becoming politically aligned with President Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential election before becoming the face of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), as well as using drugs during a broadcast interview with top podcaster Joe Rogan. 2. Larry Ellison: $297 billion Larry Ellison co-founded software company Oracle and ran it for decades before becoming its chief technology officer and executive chairman. Ellison also owns nearly all of the Hawaiian island of Lana’i. 3. Mark Zuckerberg: $274 billion Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of Meta Platforms, the company previously known as Facebook. The youngest member of this list, Zuckerberg began Facebook out of his dorm room at Harvard and quickly expanded it over the ensuing years. Meta owns social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, as well as the messaging service WhatsApp. The company is also heavily investing in artificial intelligence. 4. Jeff Bezos: $246 billion As the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos became something of a household name in the dot-com boom of 1999-2000, but his wealth really took off after the 2008-2009 financial crisis. In the decade that followed, Amazon expanded into web services, logistics and shipping and more. Bezos purchased The Washington Post in 2013 for $250 million and founded Blue Origin, an aerospace company that is commercializing space travel. He’s also a noted philanthropist, founding the Bezos Earth Fund in 2020 with a donation of $10 billion and has said that he will give away most of his fortune. 5. Larry Page: $181 billion Larry Page co-founded Google — subsequently renamed Alphabet — with another member of this list (No. 7). He headed up the company from 1997 to 2001 and then again from 2011 to 2019. Your thought?

This is spooky. The cause of death for paranormal investigator Dan Rivera who was on tour with the infamous haunted Annabelle doll, has now been revealed. Rivera died from “cardiac arrest” according to the Adams County coroner. At the time of his death Rivera was touring with the Annabelle doll which has been featured in one of the Conjure Franchise movies series.

According to PEOPLE, the Adams County coroner said in a statement Thursday that Rivera’s cause of death was cardiac related. His death was ruled as natural. The coroner also said that Rivera had a known history of heart issues and that the Annabelle doll was not in the room with him when he died. Officials said Rivera, 54, was found dead in July in his hotel room the day after an event in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, that featured the iconic doll. The event was part of the “Devils on the Run” tour, which displays Annabelle, “for those brave enough” to come face-to-face with her. The coroner noted that there was nothing unusual or suspicious about the death. Paranormal Investigator Dies During Tour with “Anabelle” Doll, Built Crate to Contain Its “Demonic” Powers pic.twitter.com/iVPKvVXXBc — TaraBull (@TaraBull808) July 16, 2025 People provided some history behind the Annabelle doll: Annabelle the doll is a real antique Raggedy Ann doll, and it is believed to be haunted or “possessed.” According to the NESPR case file on Annabelle, the demonic toy was bought by a mother in 1970, who gave it to her daughter, Donna, as a birthday present. Fast forward, Donna was about to graduate from nursing school and lived with her roommate, Angie. Shortly after the doll entered their apartment, strange and unexplained occurrences started happening, like the doll seemingly moving and changing positions by itself. Donna and Angie began to find parchment paper around the house with messages written on it, like “Help us” and “Help Lou,” who was their friend. The messages were even more bizarre because they didn’t keep parchment paper in their apartment. The 2014 horror film, Annabelle, is an origin story of the allegedly haunted doll, but the plot is fiction. While Annabelle the doll is real, the movie is not a true story. In Annabelle, a female cult member named Annabelle Higgins kills herself while holding the doll, and the demon she helped summon possesses it afterward. In real life, Donna and Angie contacted a medium in an attempt to speak with whoever was inhabiting the doll. During a seance, it was revealed that the spirit of a 7-year-old girl named Annabelle Higgins, who had died on the property before the apartments were built, was controlling the doll. Donna and Angie thought Annabelle was just an innocent spirit, but their friend Lou was not convinced. Per NESPR, Lou was attacked by Annabelle and bled, which led Donna to contact an Episcopal priest, Father Hegan, who spoke to Ed and Lorraine about the supernatural event. After connecting with Donna, Angie and Lou, the Warrens “came to the immediate conclusion that the doll itself was not in fact possessed but manipulated by an inhuman presence,” according to the NESPR case file. The paranormal investigator couple explained that spirits do not inhabit inanimate objects; only inhuman spirits do. According to the New Haven Register, she and Ed took the doll and brought it back to their house. They almost crashed their car along the way, and experienced a series of supernatural events in their home after Annabelle arrived, per NESPR.

EDITOR’S NOTE: There has been a persistent (but niche) group of people online who believe Edward Snowden is Speaker Mike Johnson, and vice versa.  It sounds crazy at first, but I looked into it and it’s not as crazy as it sounds once you investigate a bit.  I’m not telling you I believe it 100% or even at all, but I do have a big update on the story to bring you today. I first brought you this report over a year ago, but since I saw it going viral again today I took another look.  And I realized that when I originally covered this, the AI tools we had available were significantly weaker.  With major advancements released since then by all the top AI companies, I decided to run the photos through AI again and see what the more advanced AI now says about this doing advanced facial analysis. I’ll give you my original report first in case you’ve never seen or heard about this before, and then below that I’ll give you my new update.  Spoiler alert: the results actually might really surprise you! ORIGINAL REPORT: Ok folks, don’t shoot the messenger on this one, I’m just reporting on something that is starting to go viral online. Perhaps you’ve seen it….the claim the Edward Snowden = Mike Johnson. I’m going to say right at the onset that I do not believe this to be the case, but as you click in and look at some of the photos I have to admit the resemblance in some instances is quite uncanny! Let me show you what I mean, and then I will reiterate I am not promoting this as accurate.  In fact, I believe the contrary. Let’s start with this: The tie in to Kim Clement is interesting….and Kim did say “another Snowden will arise”. This would sure be quite the twist on those words if “another Snowden” meant Snowden himself in disguise! Now let’s look at some side-by-sides that I posted for comparison purposes.

That is definitely odd. Then we have this post which is saying the ears and teeth don’t match, but ironically I think this photo mashup is the most convincing of any I have seen: Speaker Mike Johnson Is Not Edward Snowden As The Ears & Teeth Do Not Match https://t.co/El0ZEkQHqw pic.twitter.com/hxmIccqbUY — Not Op Cue (@NotOpCue) October 28, 2023 I did run all three sets of photos through online AI face comparison software and got these results: I don’t quite know what to make of that.  50-61% does seem awfully high, but the software labels that “not a match”. So AI is telling you it’s not the same person. And we all know our AI overlords are never wrong! (smile) I got 54% using a different AI tool: I did find it interesting that Mike Johnson didn’t even get elected to Congress until 2017 and Edward Snowden had already been exiled back in 2013. But overall this is one “conspiracy theory” I’m just not quite buying into.  Sorry folks! Because the theory seems to be that Speaker Johnson (Snowden) and Trump are somehow working together. I will say that I have found it extremely odd that President Trump continues to support Johnson, even after another $60 billion to Ukraine and NOTHING for our border. That definitely caught my attention and I really don’t have a good explanation for it. But if the idea that Trump is working with Johnson because he knows he’s secretly Snowden, that falls apart pretty quickly based on President Trump’s prior statements about Snowden (spoiler alert: he does not like him). On June 24, 2013, he referred to Snowden as a “traitor” who had “really hurt us.” Additionally, in October 2013, Trump tweeted that Snowden was “a spy who should be executed” after Snowden was charged. So sorry folks, I’m marking this one as “Interesting….but unlikely true”. NEW UPDATE 9/6/25: Now for the update after using the most advanced AI we have available today. I won’t hide the ball, I’ll just come right out and tell you what really surprised me. Not only did the facial similarity comparisons go up by a lot, but both ChatGPT and Grok both arrived at an 82%-83% facial similarity conclusion, which the AIs label as “unusually high” and good enough to be “mistaken for siblings/twins in casual analysis”. Oh my! Before I give you the full reports, here are the four images of side-by-side comparisons I fed into each AI: Here is the full analysis from ChatGPT: Got it — I’ll strip away all the temporary or changeable elements (glasses, facial hair, smile, lighting, even moles) and look only at the fixed, structural, lasting markers: Facial Structure Analysis 1. Cranial & Forehead Structure Similarity: Both have relatively tall foreheads with a smooth vertical slope, no deep protrusion at the brow ridge. Difference: One has a slightly broader upper forehead, while the other’s is more narrow. 2. Orbital (Eye Socket) Shape Both have horizontally narrow eye sockets with downward slant at the outer corners. Distance between eyes is very close in proportion, making them appear aligned. Key Difference: One has deeper-set eyes within the orbital cavity, the other’s eyes sit a bit closer to the surface. 3. Nose Structure Bridge: Both noses are narrow at the bridge. Tip: One has a slightly more defined, angular nasal tip, while the other has a rounder, softer tip. Overall Proportion: Both noses are proportionally similar to face width. 4. Cheekbones & Midface Cheekbones sit high and narrow in both men. Neither has pronounced lateral cheekbone flare (both faces are more vertical than wide). Difference: One shows slightly fuller cheeks, the other has a flatter midface contour. 5. Jawline & Chin Both have narrow jaws that taper sharply toward the chin. Difference: One’s chin is slightly longer and more pointed, the other’s is shorter and more squared off. Angle of mandible (jaw corner) is similar but with minor variation. 6. Ear Placement Both have medium-set ears in proportion to head size, not protruding. Difference: One’s ears sit slightly higher relative to the eyes. 7. Facial Ratios Vertical thirds (hairline → brow → base of nose → chin): Nearly identical between the two men. Horizontal fifths (eye width vs interocular distance): Very close, with symmetry strongly matching. Overall Assessment Looking only at fixed skeletal and proportional markers: High similarity in: Forehead slope, orbital shape, nose bridge width, cheekbone height, jaw taper, facial ratios. Moderate differences in: Chin length/shape, nose tip shape, cheek fullness, depth of eyes within sockets. Final Estimate Based on bone structure and enduring proportions, ignoring superficial modifiers: Similarity: ~82–85%Difference: ~15–18% Final Answer: The two faces are structurally about 83% similar, which is unusually high. The differences (chin, nose tip, midface contour) prevent them from being identical, but their cranial proportions and facial ratios make them look strikingly alike. And the full analysis from Grok: The four images consistently show two distinct faces side by side, but with notable similarities in core structural features. Here’s a breakdown of the analysis, focusing exclusively on enduring facial markers such as bone structure, proportions, and geometry (e.g., ratios of features like eye width to face width, nose length to philtrum, etc.), derived from visual comparison across all provided photos: Overall Face Shape and Proportions Both faces exhibit an elongated oval structure with a similar width-to-length ratio (approximately 0.7:1).The jawline is squared off in both, with comparable prominence in the mandibular angle and chin projection.Cheekbone height and width are aligned, creating a mid-face that tapers similarly toward the chin. Forehead and Hairline The forehead height (from hairline to brow) is proportionally equivalent, occupying about 25–30% of total face height in each.The hairline recedes in a similar M-shape pattern, with comparable temporal peaks. Eyes and Orbital Region Interocular distance (space between eyes) is nearly identical relative to face width, at roughly 30–35% of the total.Eye shape is almond-like in both, with similar horizontal width and subtle hooding at the outer corners.The brow ridge prominence and arch are closely matched, with a gentle curve rather than a sharp peak. Nose Bridge height and straightness are very similar, with a comparable nasofrontal angle (around 130–140 degrees).Nasal length (from bridge to tip) spans about 20% of face height in both, and the alar base width aligns with the interocular distance.The tip shape is rounded without significant bulbousness in either. Mouth and Philtrum Lip width relative to nose base is consistent (approximately 1:1 ratio), with a straight vermilion border.The philtrum (groove from nose to upper lip) has similar depth and length, contributing to balanced lower-face proportions. Ears Attachment height (top of ear aligning with brow level) and lobe shape (attached rather than free-hanging) are equivalent.The helical rim curvature matches closely. Key Differences in Lasting Markers One face shows a slightly broader zygomatic arch (cheekbone span), making the mid-face appear about 5–10% wider overall. The chin cleft is more pronounced in one. The nasal septum deviates subtly differently (one straighter, the other with a minor curve). Orbital sockets are deeper set in one, affecting shadow patterns under consistent lighting. Similarity Estimate Based on these metrics, averaging geometric alignments (e.g., via landmark overlaps like 68-point facial mapping approximations), the facial similarity is estimated at 82%. This accounts for high congruence in foundational structure while noting minor divergences that distinguish them as non-identical. Context for 82% Similarity Yes, 82% is indeed pretty high for facial similarity between two distinct individuals. To put it in perspective: Identical twins: Typically average around 0.746 (74.6%) similarity, with scores ranging from about 0.69 (69%) to 0.856 (85.6%). Unrelated look-alikes: Often average closer to 0.704–0.71 (70.4–71%), with highs up to 0.76 (76%). General recognition systems: Score on a 0–1 scale (or 0–100%). A 1.0 (100%) means identical images. Thresholds for a “match” often start around 0.6–0.7 (60–70%). Anything above that risks false positives for unrelated people. Scores in the 80%+ range are rare outside of close genetic relatives or extreme doppelgangers. Final Perspective An 82% similarity score would likely indicate a level of resemblance strong enough to potentially fool lower-threshold recognition tools or be mistaken for siblings/twins in casual analysis. So there you go folks! As usual, I’m not telling you what to believe — heck, I’m not even sure I know what to make of this… I’m just reporting what I have found. Your thoughts?

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary said the agency is conducting an investigation into whether the COVID-19 jab caused deaths in children. According to The Epoch Times reporter Zachary Stieber, a report is expected within a few weeks. New: FDA investigating deaths among children from COVID-19 vaccines, will publish a report within a few weeks, commissioner says. https://t.co/xI5j0bH4W8 — Zachary Stieber (@ZackStieber) September 5, 2025 More from STAT News: In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Makary said his staff is looking into deaths of young healthy children from the Covid vaccine. He did not share specific data linking pediatric deaths to the vaccine, instead pointing to self reports in the FDA’s vaccine safety database. Self-reported adverse events in the FDA’s vaccine database do not definitively prove that the person’s symptoms were caused by the vaccines. Makary’s comments, however, indicated that he thinks the reports are evidence enough. “The American people deserve to see the data on children who died from the Covid vaccine,” Makary said.

So we can’t just be blind,” he added. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary says new COVID-19 vaccine guidelines will follow a science-based approach, and that his agency is “encouraging an open dialogue.” MORE: https://t.co/OXqMcf0tRM pic.twitter.com/nhGI5ePFzJ — NewsNation (@NewsNation) September 3, 2025 NewsNation provided further info: Access to a COVID-19 vaccine is now more limited than it was four years ago. The FDA also recently narrowed its criteria for who qualifies for the vaccine and Makary wrote an op-ed explaining why the administration doesn’t support COVID-19 boosters forever. Makary told NewsNation that it all comes down to two crucial questions. “The American people want to know, are we supposed to keep going like this?” he said. “[And] do the benefits outweigh the risks? That is the question.” Makary said, “we have an agreement … with the large vaccine makers that make the COVID vaccine that they will conduct a randomized control placebo trial and have those results back to us by May.” The new study, which will begin this winter, will hopefully provide answers to whether the benefits outweigh the risks of the vaccine moving forward.
