We now know that the experimental mRNA COVID vaccine is linked to many serious, adverse health effects, including myocarditis and blood clots, among others. But, did you know it’s also been linked to eye damage and loss of vision? If you or anyone you know experienced a decline in eyesight since taking the jab, it could have been the direct cause. You see, as it turns out, the COVID vaxx causes structural damage to the eye’s corneal endothelium, which can lead to vision problems. Dr. Peter McCullough said: BREAKING: COVID-19 mRNA Shots Destroy 8.4% of Non-Renewable Eye Cells in Just 75 Days New study finds irreversible structural damage to the eye’s corneal endothelium in healthy young adults following Pfizer mRNA injection. No wonder many vaccinated have vision problems after… pic.twitter.com/HolUqxfHEb — Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH® (@P_McCulloughMD) July 15, 2025 These findings are based off a study recently conducted in Turkey, which specifically examined patients who took the Pfizer vaccine. Daily Mail has more details: The new study specifically examined how the vaccine affected patients’ corneas, the clear front part of the eye that allows light to enter. In 64 people, scientists in Turkey measured changes in the cornea’s inner layer, called the endothelium, before taking the first Pfizer dose and two months after receiving the second. Results revealed that taking both doses of the vaccine led to thicker corneas, fewer endothelial cells in the eye and more variation in size of these specialized cells that form the endothelium. In the short term, these changes suggest the Pfizer vaccine may temporarily weaken the endothelium, even though patients didn’t suffer clear vision problems during the study. For people with healthy eyes, these small changes likely won’t affect vision right away. However, if scientists find that these changes last for years, they could lead to corneal swelling or blurry vision, especially in those with pre-existing eye problems or people who have had a cornea transplant. A thicker cornea and reduced cell density could contribute to eye conditions like corneal edema, bullous keratopathy, or corneal decompensation, which can all cause permanent vision loss in severe cases, especially if left untreated. The more we learn about the vaccine, the more we realize just how dangerous it is. Many folks are taking to X to share their personal experiences with vision loss since getting vaccinated against COVID: Suddenly lost my ability to read the morning newspaper 24 to 36 hours after my second jab. Now I need reading glasses.

Dupres (@Susan_Dupres) July 15, 2025 Very alarming. This experimental vaccine should have never made it out of the trial stage, let alone have been pushed on the public! I have a feeling it will go down as one of the biggest crimes against humanity in modern history.

Brazil is finally being held accountable for the political witch-hunt against former President Jair Bolsonaro. President Trump has repeatedly made his support of Bolsanaro very clear. Most recently, he enacted 50% tariffs on all Brazilian imports, due in part to how the government has treated Bolsanaro! However, Brazil has only doubled down in their judicial persecution of Bolsanaro. And, the U.S. isn’t going to let that slide without consequences. Today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded by canceling the visa of Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moras, as well as several other justices and top officials.

Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes’s political witch hunt against Jair Bolsonaro created a persecution and censorship complex so sweeping that it not only violates basic rights of Brazilians, but also extends beyond Brazil’s shores to target Americans. I have therefore ordered visa revocations for Moraes and his allies on the court, as well as their immediate family members effective immediately. Here’s the full list of all the justices and officials who have been sanctioned: Supreme Court Justices Alexandre de Moraes, Luís Roberto Barroso, Gilmar Mendes, Edson Fachin, Cármen Lúcia, Dias Toffoli, Cristiano Zanin and Flávio Dino Paulo Gonet Branco — General Council of the Republic Andrei Rodrigues — Director-General of the Federal Police, as well as Head of the Cybercrime Division Fábio Schor Ricardo Lewandowski — Attorney General Rodrigo Pacheco — Senator, former President of the Federal Senate It’s about time that Brazil be held accountable for what they are doing to Bolsanaro, who recently had his home raided. He is now forced to wear an ankle monitor and banned from contacting foreign leaders or using social media. Supreme Court Justice Moraes was the one who issued those restrictions. Reuters has more: Bolsonaro was banned from contacting foreign officials, using social media or approaching embassies, according to the decision issued by Moraes, who cited a “concrete possibility” of him fleeing the country. His home was raided by federal police and he had an ankle monitor placed on him. In an interview with Reuters at his party’s headquarters on Friday, Bolsonaro called Moraes a “dictator” and described the latest court orders as acts of “cowardice.” “I feel supreme humiliation,” he said, when asked how he felt about wearing the ankle monitor. “I am 70 years old, I was president of the republic for four years.” Bolsonaro denied any plans to leave the country, but said he would meet with Trump if he could get access to his passport, which police seized last year. He also said he had sought out the top U.S. diplomat in Brazil to discuss Trump’s tariff threat. Asked about Bolsonaro’s comments to Reuters, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said on Friday, citing previous comments from Trump, “Bolsonaro and his supporters are under attack from a weaponized court system.” In his decision, Moraes said the restrictions against Bolsonaro were due to accusations that the former president was making efforts to get the “head of state of a foreign nation” to interfere in Brazilian courts, which the judge cast as an attack on national sovereignty. Bolsonaro is on trial before Brazil’s Supreme Court on charges of plotting a coup to stop President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office in January 2023. Trump has in recent weeks pressed Brazil to stop the legal case against Bolsonaro, saying that his ally was the victim of a “witch hunt”. The U.S. president said last week he would impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods from August 1, in a letter that opened with criticism of the Bolsonaro trial. This all follows President Trump sending a personal letter to Bolsanaro, which you can read right here: Dear Mr. Bolsonaro: I have seen the terrible treatment you are receiving at the hands of an unjust system turned against you. This trial should end immediately! I am not surprised to see you leading in the polls; you were a highly respected and strong leader who served your country well. I share your commitment to listening to the voice of the people and I am very concerned about the attacks on free speech — both in Brazil and in the United States — coming out of the current government. I have strongly voiced my disapproval both publicly and through our Tariff policy. It is my sincere hope that the Government of Brazil changes course, stops attacking political opponents, and ends their ridiculous censorship campaign. I will be watching closely. Sincerely, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America It’s ridiculous what’s going on in Brazil right now, and Trump’s administration has every right to sanction and tariff the crap out of them! Not to mention the fact that Moraes, in particular, is textbook villain material.

Last night, President Trump called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all relevant Grand Jury transcripts from Epstein’s 2019 trial. He wrote on Truth Social: Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now! Now, Pam Bondi’s DOJ has just officially filed a motion to unseal the transcripts. Check out the latest development: FLASH: Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Atty General Todd Blanche have filed motion in New York “to release grand jury transcripts associated with” Jeffrey Epstein casehttps://t.co/b2m0AacTNy pic.twitter.com/tASYcUjKbG — Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews) July 18, 2025 Notably, the motion to file states that victim names and “personal identifying information” will be redacted from the transcripts. Per Fox News: While the department maintains it stands by the memo’s findings, the filing emphasizes that “transparency to the American public is of the utmost importance to this Administration.” Given the intense public interest, the DOJ told the court it is moving to unseal the underlying grand jury transcripts to shed light on its investigative work in the Epstein matter. The DOJ said it will work with prosecutors to redact all victim names and personal identifying information from the transcripts before any release. “Transparency in this process will not be at the expense of our obligation under the law to protect victims,” the motion assured. Let’s hope that’s all that is redacted… BREAKING: The motion requesting the “pertinent” Epstein Grand Jury transcripts has been filed by AG Bondi as President Trump stated.

So, it’s not going to happen overnight. But, it’s good to see Bondi get the ball rolling. CBS News has more: The Justice Department filed a request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Epstein’s 2019 child sex trafficking charges in New York, which ended when Epstein died in custody later that year. It also petitioned for the release of grand jury transcripts in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, who in 2021 was convicted of conspiring with Epstein, and said it will ask a South Florida court to release transcripts. Epstein was initially investigated by federal authorities in Florida in the 2000s, which ended in a federal non-prosecution agreement and a guilty plea on state prostitution charges. The judges overseeing the cases will be the final decision-makers as to whether and how much of the grand jury documents can be released. If the judges do grant the government’s requests to unseal the material, it’s unlikely to be immediately available, and it could be weeks or months before the records are unsealed. Federal rules typically require matters before a grand jury to be kept secret. This is a step in the right direction. Hopefully, it will lead to the release of all the Epstein files… Your thoughts?

Former Democrat Representative of Missouri William (Bill) Lacy Clay Sr. has passed away. Rep. Clay died on Wednesday at the age of 94. Clay served 16 terms in the House and during his tenure he was one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Politico had more details to share on Rep. Clay: Former Rep. Bill Clay Sr. (D-Mo.), one of the 13 founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus and an icon in Missouri’s civil rights movement, died this week, the CBC said. “Congressman Clay helped build the CBC into a force for equity and accountability in American Democracy,” caucus Chair Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) said Thursday in a press statement. “As a member of Congress, he was a fierce defender of labor rights, education and social justice.” Clay was 94. Clay became Missouri’s first Black congressman when St. Louis voters elected him in 1968. He entered the House alongside two other Black lawmakers, former Reps. Louis Stokes (D-Ohio) and Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y.) The trio helped launch the Congressional Black Caucus several years later in 1971. Former Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr., a St. Louis powerbroker who became Missouri’s first elected Black member of Congress and went on to serve 16 terms in the House, died at the age of 94. https://t.co/ghFNKn01Hu pic.twitter.com/zFIYKKP56d — Roll Call (@rollcall) July 18, 2025 Roll Call reported more on Clay’s legacy: Former Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr., a St. Louis powerbroker who became Missouri’s first elected Black member of Congress and went on to serve 16 terms in the House, died Wednesday at the age of 94. First elected in 1968, the Democrat was succeeded in the House by his son, former Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr., who himself served for 10 terms. The elder Clay, born April 30, 1931, in St. Louis, was a fixture in his home town’s politics for more than six decades. When he first came to Congress, Clay was labeled a Black militant. He gradually adjusted his political focus and rhetoric to match his slightly less Black and more conservative district, but his voting record remained decidedly liberal. A founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, Clay supported abortion rights and opposed amending the Constitution to permit laws to ban the burning of the flag. He voted against prohibiting the use of federal funds for needle distribution and against Republican proposals to permit states to use federal funds for school vouchers. Over his 32-year tenure, Clay enjoyed some notable legislative successes, including the enactment in the first year of the Clinton administration of two measures he had long pushed for — the Family and Medical Leave Act and changes to the Hatch Act, which limits political activities of federal workers.
