Today’s Top 5:
Word twisting and spin at its finest … after the interview with Newsmax’s Eric Bolling (on Trump’s arrest in Fulton County, GA), CNN analyst and former FBI chief Andrew McCabe said Friday on “Inside Politics” that former Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R-AK) comments on civil war over the arrest of former President Donald Trump were encouraging “political violence.”
1.Sarah Palin: Civil War Is ‘Going to Happen’ — ‘We’re Not Going to Keep Putting Up with This’
Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) said Thursday on Newsmax TV’s “The Balance” that a civil war was “going to happen” over former President Donald Trump’s indictments.
Eric Bolling asked, “We’ve talked about the two tiered justice system but when you see it happening, when you see the former president being fingerprinted, having to show up turn himself in. You see the mug shots of the other seven or eight who turned themselves in already. Do you have concern for the country as I do?”
This should send a huge message to black voters!
2.Former Black Voices for Trump Director Still in Jail as Others Post Bond in Fulton Case: Records
One of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants in the election fraud case in Georgia remained in jail Friday after Trump and the 17 others charged in the case had reported to jail and posted bond.
Court records showed defendant Harrison Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump, was due to appear in court on Friday morning. However, Judge Scott McAfee told reporters that he would not appear after all.
Later, the judge said court records contained “misinformation” about Mr. Floyd’s case, although he did not elaborate. “Mr. Floyd is entitled to a first appearance … one will not be happening today here,” Mr. McAfee told reporters.

Tropical Storm Idalia Expected to Make Landfall Along West Coast of Florida by Tuesday
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency for 33 Florida counties as storm watchers are expecting Tropical Storm Idalia to make landfall on the west side of the state, between the panhandle and the Tampa Bay area, by Tuesday.
The National Hurricane Center’s midday update showed the tropical storm sitting between Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba with wind gusts of 40 miles per hour. Storm watchers expect Hurricane Idalia to be at least a Category 1 and make its landfall on land regions along the eastern side of the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, Fox 13 reported.
DeSantis Declares Emergency in 33 Florida Counties as Storm System Gathers Steam
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency in 33 counties in preparation for the potential impact of a weather system that the National Hurricane Center (NHC) warns is becoming better organized and could become a tropical storm with dangerous consequences.
The weather system—an area of low pressure dubbed Invest 93L—that is located in the northwestern Caribbean Sea and eastern Gulf of Mexico near Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula continued to become better organized on Saturday.
Biden Staffer Met With Member of Jack Smith’s Team Before Trump Indictment

Nearly 5,000 pilots are suspected to have lied about having mental health conditions and other health disorders which would prevent them from flying.
The Washington Post broke the news that nearly 600 of those pilots being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) fly planes for passenger flights and over 4,800 are veterans receiving disability benefits. The Post reported:
The pilots under scrutiny are military veterans who told the Federal Aviation Administration that they are healthy enough to fly, yet failed to report — as required by law — that they were also collecting veterans benefits for disabilities that could bar them from the cockpit.
Veterans Affairs investigators discovered the inconsistencies more than two years ago by cross-checking federal databases, but the FAA has kept many details of the case a secret from the public.
FAA spokesman Matthew Lehner acknowledged in a statement that the agency has been investigating approximately 4,800 pilots “who might have submitted incorrect or false information as part of their medical applications.” The FAA has now closed about half of those cases, he said, and has ordered about 60 pilots — who Lehner said “posed a clear danger to aviation safety” — to cease flying on an emergency basis while their records are reviewed.
Data collected by the National Transportation Safety Board shows that pilots’ medical issues were the cause of 9 percent of fatal aviation accidents from 2012 to 2022.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) ordered the U.S. Capitol flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the 13 troops killed two years ago in President Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

Recent Mask Mandates Lifted Amid Pushback
Kaiser Permanente in Santa Rosa, California, on Aug. 24 reversed a recent policy that would require masks in its hospital after it reinstated the mandate days before. A Hollywood studio also said it would do away with its mandate.
Officials for the hospital system told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat that the mask policy applies only to staff, not patients. It said that it is “strongly encouraging masks for patients, members, and visitors in the hospital and medical offices in the Santa Rosa Service Area in response to this latest increase in COVID-19 cases.”
“Our intent was to communicate that as of Tuesday, we have expanded the masking requirement for our employees and physicians to medical offices and clinic settings; we apologize for any confusion among Press Democrat readers,” Kaiser said in its latest statement.
Sen. Johnson Sounds Alarm on Return of COVID-19 Mask Mandates
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is sounding the alarm after a small number of offices, hospitals, and schools reinstated mask mandates in recent days.
Describing the mandates as “alarming,” Mr. Johnson told the Moms for Liberty group on Aug. 23 that they are ineffective and said he would keep fighting them.
“It’s alarming that the mandates are kicking in again,” he told the group. “It’s like, OK, we noticed masks didn’t work, particularly for children. We always knew they didn’t work for kids.”
The Wisconsin Republican said, “N-95 masks can have some marginal benefits—but not to deny people freedom.”
Mr. Johnson has said he was always skeptical of federal vaccine mandates and has been an advocate for people who claimed to have been injured by COVID-19 vaccines. He also called on the Biden administration to admit that its COVID-19 policies didn’t work.
“They’ll never admit they were wrong in how they handled COVID. I don’t see how anybody can take a look at how the federal government—really, over the course of two administrations—how they handled COVID, and say it was anything but a complete and miserable failure,” he told the Washington Examiner in May.

IRS Bows to Pressure, Grants 2-year Reprieve on 401(K) Catch-Up Contribution Rule
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has agreed to put a two-year freeze on implementation of a contentious new rule that requires catch-up contributions by higher-income participants in 401(k) and similar retirement plans to be designated as after-tax Roth contributions.
Bowing to public pressure, the IRS has agreed to provide an administrative transition period until 2026 that postpones enforcement of a new provision in the SECURE 2.0 Act that requires catch-up contributions by higher-earning retirement plan participants to be designated not as pre-tax contributions to plans like the 401(k) but as after-tax contributions to Roth IRA accounts.
The new Roth catch-up contribution rule (Section 603 of the SECURE 2.0 Act) applies to people who participate in 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) plans and whose prior-year Social Security wages exceeded $145,000.

A work stoppage by nearly 150,000 UAW workers at GM, Ford and Stellantis would result in an economic loss of more than $5 billion after 10 days, according to Anderson Economic Group.
The Michigan-based consulting firm estimates the total economic loss by calculating potential losses to UAW workers, the manufacturers and to the auto industry more broadly.
During the last round of bargaining in 2019, a breakdown in negotiations between the Detroit automakers and the UAW led to a national 40-day strike against GM that cost it $3.6 billion.

AI Humanoid Pilot Might be Able To Solve Pilot Shortage
Our readers know there’s yet to be a quick solution to the US pilot shortage, which may linger until 2032. Current data shows a staggering 17,000-pilot gap. This shortfall can be attributed to several factors:
- Early retirements spurred by the pandemic.
- The unyielding retirement age of 65.
- A dwindling number of pilots from the military.
- The unappealing prospect for civilians to embark on a pilot career.
Airlines can only train 1,500 to 1,800 pilots a year. The deficit has triggered all sorts of flight disruptions, with the latest from American Airlines.

Microsoft Files For a Face-Tracking Patent
A patent filed in the US shows that Microsoft is working on technology that would allow it to track a person’s face in a way so comprehensive that the device powered by the tech could be referred to as a “face reader.”
And it could be used for gaming, but also for tracking remote employees. And who knows what else in between.
Microsoft says it needs the patent approved to develop mixed reality headsets that would be cheaper yet better at “understanding” expressions on human faces.
The patent filing doesn’t go into many considerations other than those of a purely technical nature, and this in a nutshell is how the under-development technology works.
Currently, converters are used that are not only bulkier to render high resolution tracking but also cost more to manufacture.
Now Microsoft wants to replace this method of tracking with elements directly embedded, circumventing the need for converters, and also what’s referred to as processing circuit area.

HEALTH
Ninety Percent of Sea Salt Contains Plastic
Salt in your diet … Research data show 90% of sea salt sold worldwide contains plastic microparticles, leading researchers to believe most people consume nearly 2,000 particles a year in their sea salt. Your body requires a specific sodium-to-potassium ratio to normalize your blood pressure. Low salt intake may result in an increased risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, and low magnesium levels accompanied by a long list of other potential health risks. Today, salt is mined from deep in the earth or extracted from saltwater sources. Your best option to salt your whole foods is Himalayan sea salt, created long before the environment was polluted by plastics and chemical toxins.
Five ways to take control of your health … and stay out of the hospital!
- Get one hour of daily sunshine (with minimal clothing).
- Eliminate vegetable seed oils (soybean, cottonseed, canola, corn and safflower) from your diet.
- Avoid ALL processed and ultra-processed foods (restaurant-created foods, sauces and salad dressings).
- Walk one hour a day (ideally outdoors; you can combine #1 that way), with a goal of 8,000 steps once or twice a week.
- Improve mitochondrial function in your cells in any way possible (with supplements from The Power Mall).
Weedkiller’s cancer link: New review adds to the case
It’s unfortunate that the term “weedkiller” has become so closely associated with cancer – just look no further than the ongoing litigations between cancer patients and Big Agricultural powerhouse Monsanto, the notorious creator of Roundup.
But as industry-backed “experts” continue to claim that the link between the world’s most popular herbicide and cancer is “controversial,” we continue to see more evidence showing just how plausible and indeed probable it is that this toxin is causing serious harm to humans.

Tame sunburn pain with these 3 natural remedies
Clear skies, blue water, and silky sand under a radiant sun – is there a more perfect recipe for summer bliss? But, without common-sense precautions, even this glorious experience can send you home with a painful souvenir: sunburn.
An inflammatory reaction caused by overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, sunburn affects one out of three Americans every year. Fortunately, minor cases of sunburn can be addressed with natural interventions that help minimize damage and speed healing. If you realize too late that you’ve overdone it on the sun, you may want to whip up one or more of these cooling, evidence-based sunburn soothers.
Chamomile tea contains a “trifecta” of healing compounds to ease sunburn
Brewed from the yellow-and-white flowers of the chamomile plant, chamomile tea contains bisoprolol, chamazulene, and apigenin – a trio of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory compounds that can accelerate cell renewal and soothe irritated skin. Botanically known as Matricaria recutita, chamomile also has antimicrobial properties that help prevent skin infections. Highly prized in herbal healing for its therapeutic properties, chamomile has earned the endorsement of many contemporary practitioners as well.
For example, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dendy Engelman, M.D., FACMS, FAAD, advises topical chamomile for skin care. While clinical research on chamomile for skincare is limited, animal studies suggest that the essential oil can alleviate atopic dermatitis. To use, simply soak a clean washcloth in cooled chamomile tea and place it over sunburned areas. Before using chamomile tea to ease sunburn, check with your holistic healthcare provider. And don’t use it if you are allergic. (A sensitivity to ragweed and members of the aster family – such as daisies, marigolds, and chrysanthemums – makes a reaction more likely).
Cool sunburn with aloe vera gel
Aloe vera gel, from the spiky plant botanically known as Aloe barbadensis, has a venerable history in herbal medicine for alleviating burns.
Aloe’s therapeutic effects are believed to arise from its content of aloin, an anthraquinone with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and painkilling properties. (Antioxidant vitamins and beneficial fatty acids may also contribute to aloe vera’s ability to maintain moisture and promote skin healing).
Aloe vera’s reputation received a solid boost in 2022 when a review published in Cureus showed that aloe vera gel was superior to silver sulfadiazine in speeding the healing of second-degree burns.
Many holistic doctors advise using pure aloe vera gel straight from the plant. Snip the leaves close to the stem, where healing compounds are the most concentrated. After washing and drying, trim the spiky edges and scoop out the clear gel at the center. Apply the chilled gel to affected areas several times a day. If you don’t have access to a live aloe plant, try to purchase 100 percent pure aloe vera gel rather than an “aloe-based” lotion or cream, which may contain alcohol or other irritants. Of course, check with your holistic doctor before using aloe vera for sunburn. —> Get premium aloe gel from The Power Mall:WILLARD WATER ALOE GEL
Baking soda is a trusted “old-school” remedy for sunburn
Sodium bicarbonate – commonly known as baking soda – can be a surprisingly effective remedy for sunburn. With a pH of 9, this alkalizing powder seems to have the “right stuff” for reducing pain and calming inflamed tissues. Simply mix two tablespoons with enough cool water to make a paste. Apply, leave on for ten minutes, and carefully rinse off.
Alternately, you can add three heaping tablespoons of baking soda to a tub of cool water and soak for 20 minutes. For a calming aroma and added comfort, splash in a few drops of lavender essential oil, which has been shown in studies to have mild painkilling and relaxant properties.
After a baking soda bath, you should apply a gentle, dye-free moisturizer or oil intended for sensitive skin. Convenient, inexpensive and safe, good old-fashioned baking soda can be a useful weapon against sunburn. Again, get the “thumbs-up” from your holistic physician before trying baking soda on your sunburn.

Delayed Headaches Occurring After COVID Shot Raise Red Flags: Researcher
Reports of headaches after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine have been common. While most are nonserious and treatable, researchers in Iran who conducted a new study published in Frontiers in Neurology warn that delayed headache onset “should be considered a red flag.”
According to a survey of nearly 2,000, primarily female respondents, the prevalence of headaches after the first, second, or third vaccine doses was 36.5 percent, 23.3 percent, and 21.7 percent, respectively.
Some people are at high risk of postvaccination headaches, including people with primary headaches, post-COVID-19 headaches, headaches following a previous dose, postvaccination fever, and those who received vector vaccines (such as AstraZeneca and the Johnson & Johnson vaccines), according to the researchers.
Mask Mandates Will Not Come to These US States
Mask mandates will not be coming to Texas and Florida, based on posts published by the states’ governor and Surgeon General, respectively.
While Greg Abbott said in a brief post on X that “There will be NO mask mandates in Texas,” the Health Officer and Surgeon General of Florida, Joseph Ladapo, had a bit more to say: “What do you call re-imposing mask policies that have been proven ineffective or restarting lockdowns that are known to cause harm? You don’t call it sanity. These terrible policies only work with your cooperation. How about refusing to participate…”
Mandate discussions are gaining steam on online platforms and otherwise as institutions are gearing up to reintroduce the mask—part of the COVID restrictions brought about after the pandemic spread all over the world.
Who Best Avoided the COVID Religion?
Commentary – One of the greatest contributions that the United States gave to the world was and is religious freedom. In 2020, that freedom was taken away from all religions in the United States. We’ve not yet come to terms with this awful reality and what it means for the future of faith.
The lockdowns were a major blow to religious institutions and practice. Every major survey shows that attendance at weekly religious services is down from pre-lockdown times.
“The share of all U.S. adults who say they typically attend religious services at least once a month is down modestly but measurably (by 3 percentage points, from 33 percent to 30 percent) over that span,” Pew writes. “And one-in-five Americans say they now attend in person less often than they did before the pandemic.”

Exclusive — Fake News Busted: Donald Trump Jr. Did Not Acquire Mar-a-Lago
Former President Donald Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr. did not acquire Mar-a-Lago in the weeks leading up to his father’s arrest in Fulton County, Georgia, Trump Jr. told Breitbart News exclusively.
“I woke up this morning to numerous media reports claiming that my dad transferred ownership of Mar-A-Lago to me, and while anyone would love to be gifted one of the most beautiful properties in the entire world, it is nothing more than total and complete fake news,” Trump Jr. told Breitbart News exclusively on Friday. “A lot of media outlets should be embarrassed with themselves for running such a phony story, but we all know that most of them won’t even retract their reports because they have no shame. SAD!”
The fake news claims spread online in the past couple days, after media outlets falsely claimed Zillow listings showed the property was sold. Outlets as far-ranging as the Daily Express and Newsweek among others pushed the inaccurate reports.

“In light of recent statements by Alice Cooper we will no longer be doing a makeup collaboration. We stand with all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and believe everyone should have access to healthcare. All pre-order sales will be refunded,” the company said.

Trump Reveals Who Won the First GOP Debate
Former President Donald Trump revealed who he believed won the first GOP presidential debate on Wednesday night.
Tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy effusively praised the former president in the first debate, coming about an hour after it started.
“I’ll just speak the truth. President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century,” Mr. Ramaswamy said as the crowd cheered. “Your claim that Donald Trump is motivated by vengeance and grievance would be a lot more credible,” he told former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, “if your campaign were not based on vengeance and grievance against one man,” referring to President Trump.

Giuliani to Seek Removal of Georgia Election Case to Federal Court
Attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said on Wednesday, after surrendering at the Fulton County jail and being released on bail, that he would seek to move his case to federal court in about a week.
“I will, within the next week or so, file a motion of removal,” he said on a 77 WABC radio show on his way back to New York from Georgia.
The conditions of his bond, which was negotiated at $150,000, prevent him from speaking to other defendants, but Mr. Giuliani said he expects former President Donald Trump to do the same and believes the case will be removed.
