DNA Contamination Found in Pfizer Vaccine, Researchers Said

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Phillip Buckhaults, a cancer genomics expert and professor at the University of South Carolina, recently revealed to a South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Ad-Hoc Committee that Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine is contaminated with billions of tiny DNA fragments.

“There is a very real hazard” that these fragments of foreign DNA can insert themselves into a person’s own genome and become a “permanent fixture of the cell,” Buckhaults, who has a Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology, said.

He added that it is quite possible that the reason why so many people who were vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine had some side effects afterward, like death from cardiac arrest, was because of these DNA fragments.

Buckhaults was reluctant to go public because he didn’t want to frighten people. In addition to that, he was also vaccinated three times with Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine, recommending it to his family and friends.

“I’m a real fan of this [mRNA] platform. I think it has the potential to treat cancers, I really believe that this platform is revolutionary. In your lifetime, there will be mRNA vaccines against antigens in your unique cancer. But they’ve got to get this problem fixed,” he said.

He then added that he was the most concerned about the risk of “future cancer in some people,” adding that the foreign piece of DNA could “interrupt a tumor suppressor gene or activate an oncogene,” depending on where it lands in the genome.

“I’m kind of alarmed about this DNA being in the vaccine… DNA is a long-lived information storage device. It’s what you were born with, you’re going to die with and pass on to your kids. … So alterations to the DNA… well, they stick around,” he said.

In the end, Buckhaults told vaccinated people to be tested to see if any of the foreign DNA has integrated into the genome of their stem cells, saying that this is easily detectable because the foreign DNA has a unique signature, or a “calling card,” as he called it.

“This is not terribly expensive to do these kinds of tests. But there has to be a system where professors are not going to be penalized for producing results that are counter to what the party line is supposed to be,” he said.

House GOP Obliterates Scandal-Plagued AG Garland Over DOJ Corruption

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Attorney General Merrick Garland faced a barrage of criticism from House Republicans during a tense hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

The hearing centered around allegations of corruption embroiling the DOJ, political interference in the criminal probe of Hunter Biden and the targeting of traditional Catholics. 

Garland, who appeared before the committee to defend the contentious actions of the DOJ under his leadership, was immediately met with fiery questions from fired-up Republicans. 

“Our job is to uphold the rule of law. That means that we apply the same laws to everyone,” Garland claimed in his opening statement, rejecting damning allegations that the DOJ operates with a two-tier system of justice.  

However, this response failed to quell the mounting criticism. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, confronted Garland, alleging that the DOJ and District Attorney David Weiss of Delaware allowed the statute of limitations to expire on Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes.

“Did they forget? Did the lawyers just, like, oh, darn we let it — were they careless?” Jordan asked. A defiant Garland responded, “This investigation was being conducted by Mr. Weiss, an appointee of President Trump. You will, at the appropriate time, have the opportunity to ask Mr. Weiss that question and he will no doubt address it in the public report that will be transmitted to the Congress.” 

Jordan remained unconvinced. “We all know why they did it,” the Ohio lawmaker added. “Everyone knows why they did it … those tax years, that involved the president. It’s one thing to have a gun charge in Delaware. That doesn’t involve the President of the United States. But Burisma? Oh, my, that goes right to the White House.” 

Rep. Jefferson Van Drew, R-N.J., also pressed Garland, this time regarding allegations that the DOJ was targeting traditional Catholics. He referenced a memo from a Richmond FBI field office that labeled traditional Catholics as “violent extremists.”

Van Drew asked Garland, “Do you agree that traditional Catholics are violent extremists? Yes or no?” Faced with the tough question, Garland deflected by responding, “Let me answer what you said in that long list of — I’d be happy to answer all of those.” Later in the exchange, Garland responded, “May I answer the question,” before ultimately adding, “I have no idea what the traditional means here.” 

Garland was further grilled on the facts surrounding the January 6 protests. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., questioned previous testimony from Garland regarding the number of federal agents “agitating” the crowd before the protests.

Massie bluntly accused Garland of defying Congressional oversight by refusing to answer questions. “This is an answer that’s appropriate at a press conference,” the Kentucky stated. “It’s not an answer that’s appropriate when we are asking questions … you cannot continue to give us these answers. Aren’t you in fact in contempt of Congress when you refuse to answer?”

Donald Trump Jr.’s Twitter Account Was Hacked

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Donald Trump Jr.’s Twitter account was hacked early Wednesday, with the hacker sending a series of offensive tweets, including the one when he announced the “death” of his father, Donald Trump Sr.

“I’m sad to announce [that] my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024,” the now-infamous first message from his account read, as reported by the New York Post.

At 8:46 a.m. — more than 20 minutes after the fake death announcement — Trump Sr. indirectly proved that he is, in fact, still alive by posting an unrelated message on Twitter’s rival social media platform, Truth Social.

Aside from the fake death announcement, the hacker also wrote and published other inflammatory tweets, such as “North Korea is about to get smoked.” In another tweet, the hacker wrote that Trump Jr. had “some interesting messages with Jeffrey Epstein,” more than four years after the pedophile was murdered in his cell.

Pretending to be Trump Jr., the hacker also wrote “F–k Joe Biden,” calling the latter a “stupid ass” n-word. He also claimed that crypto personality Richard Heart, who was accused of stealing $12 million from investors, is innocent.

“When I become president I am going to burn the SEC,” another fake tweet said.

All of the fake tweets were removed from his Twitter page just before 9 a.m.

In addition to that, Trump Jr.’s spokesman, Andrew Surabian, tweeted that the earlier messages were “obviously not true,” confirming that Trump Jr.’s account had been hacked.

The Post added that it wasn’t clear whether Trump Jr. had two-factor authentication enabled and whether the hacker may have been able to access his messages.

This incident raised the question of whether Twitter can secure user accounts — especially those belonging to high-profile political figures — ahead of the 2024 election.

The social media platform is still under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission over its ability to protect user data and whether it may have violated binding commitments it made in 2011 to secure the platform, according to the Post.

Eat ‘Sh-t’: Chip Roy Curses Out House GOP Over Spending Debacle

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is not holding back in his criticism of staunch conservatives in the House of Representatives who are opposing a contentious stopgap proposal aimed at averting a government shutdown.

In a profanity-laden interview with Fox News, Roy unleashed a tirade against his fellow congressional colleagues who are demanding bigger cuts to the federal government’s spending. But Roy had none of it, going as far as calling their opposition “stupid.” 

An unhinged Roy stated, “If a Republican opposes a 30-day, 8% cut to the non-defense, non-veteran federal government with the best border security bill we’ve ever had attached to it, I honestly don’t know what to say to my fellow Republicans other than you’re gonna eat a s— sandwich, and you probably deserve to eat it.” 

Roy’s remarks came in response to his co-sponsorship of a proposal by the Freedom Caucus and Main Street Caucus, which seeks to fund the federal government while implementing an 8% cut in discretionary spending. 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has thrown his support behind this stopgap measure, urging Republicans to “amaze America one more time.” However, a growing number of conservatives within the GOP are voicing their opposition to the bill, with over a dozen members publicly expressing their concerns.

“I’m an equal opportunity basher of stupid, and I think this is stupid,” Roy added in response to the dissenting lawmakers, which include GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz, Fla., Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ga., Bob Good, Va., and Anna Paulina Luna, Fla. 

“We must recommit to implementing the conservative Republican policies that we ran on last year, including real spending cuts that take a step toward fiscal responsibility,” Good said in a lengthy Twitter post on Sept. 18.

The rift within the Republican Party is intensifying, as those opposing the measure cite concerns over the spending topline and appropriations. According to the Hill, GOP Reps. Ken Buck, Colo., Tony Gonzales, Texas, Nancy Mace, S.C., and Ralph Norman, S.C. are among those leaning toward a “no” vote. 

Newsom Defends Biden Family’s Influence Peddling: ‘Hardly Unique’

(Headline USA) California Gov. Gavin Newsom defended Hunter Biden’s influence peddling during an interview this week with CNN’s Dana Bash, claiming it is “hardly unique” for families to profit from a famous member’s influence.

Bash asked the Democrat about reports that President Joe Biden joined business calls with Hunterand his associates.

“Republicans have shown that Hunter Biden … tried to leverage his father’s name and that the president allegedly, before he was president, joined phone calls that Hunter Biden’s business associates were on. Do you see anything inappropriate there?” Bash asked.

Newsom claimed he didn’t know “the details” of the allegations against the Bidens, but said he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

“If that’s the new criteria, there are a lot of folks in a lot of industries—not just in politics—where people have family members and relationships and they’re trying to parlay and get a little influence and benefit in that respect. That’s hardly unique,” he said.

Newsom claimed he doesn’t “love” that influence peddling occurs.

“We want to see a lot less of that. But an impeachment inquiry? Give me a break,” he continued.

Unlike other industries, such as the Hollywood film industry or the business world, the Bidens’ influence peddling likely resulted in changes to U.S. foreign policy that cost billions in taxpayer dollars, undermined U.S. national security and, of course, violated the U.S. Constitution.

In the same interview, Newsom also defended Joe Biden from criticism regarding his age and said the fact that Biden would be 86-years-old by the end of a second term doesn’t bother him.

“I want a seasoned pro that knows how to get things done,” Newsom said. “I’m a little old-fashioned. I want a guy who produces results—and the results are in, it’s been a masterclass.”

Despite rumors that he was considering launching his own bid for the presidency, Newsom announced he does not plan to run in 2024, endorsing Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris instead.

“I couldn’t imagine three years ago that this president could accomplish so much in such a short period of time—I mean that,” Newsom told Bash.

Police Found Stolen Clothing in Sam Brinton’s Home After Executing Search Warrant

(Headline USA) Law enforcement revealed they discovered multiple articles of clothing belonging to a Tanzanian designer in Sam Brinton’s home after executing a search warrant on the disgraced former Biden energy official’s property.

Brinton—who worked as deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy before being charged with multiple counts of theft for stealing women’s luggage—was accused of stealing the Texas-based designer’s suitcase from the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport several years ago.

Asya Khamsin said she saw pictures of Brinton wearing her designs that had been packed in the luggage.

“I saw the images. Those were my custom designs, which were lost in that bag in 2018,” Khamsin said. “He wore my clothes, which was stolen.”

After Khamsin filed a report, officers of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police department executed a search warrant on Brinton’s home in May.

MWAA officials confirmed Tuesday that police found Khamsin’s belongings in Brinton’s home and that they had been returned to her. 

“The MWAA returned to [Khamsin] various parcels of retrieved clothing after the search warrant was executed,” an attorney for Khamsin said. “These items were returned in sealed evidence bags.”

After the search on Brinton’s Maryland home, Brinton was charged with felony grand larceny of items worth more than $1,000.

Brinton was also arrested as a “fugitive from justice” around the time as the search.

“Four unmarked police showed up last night, they would not let his spouse Kevin leave,” said a person who claimed to be Brinton’s neighbor at the time of the arrest. “After about an hour Sam Brinton was escorted out in handcuffs.”

Brinton has also been charged with misdemeanor theft after stealing $3,670 worth of items in a woman’s suitcase from the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, and $2,325 worth of items from luggage in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport.

Khamsin has also filed a civil suit against Brinton.

DHS Appoints Russia-Gate Hoaxers Clapper, Brennan to Intelligence ‘Expert’ Group

(Headline USA) The Department of Homeland Security tapped several leftist intelligence community members best known for pushing the Russian collusion hoax to its new “expert” group, according to a press release.

On Wednesday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the launch of a Homeland Intelligence Experts Group, which will meet four times a year.

It comprises “private sector experts who will provide their unique perspectives on the federal government’s intelligence enterprise to DHS’s [Intelligence and Analysis] and the Office of the Counterterrorism Coordinator,” Mayorkas said in a statement.

“The security of the American people depends on our capacity to collect, generate, and disseminate actionable intelligence to our federal, state, local, territorial, tribal, campus, and private sector partners,” he added. “I express my deep gratitude to these distinguished individuals for dedicating their exceptional expertise, experience, and vision to our critical mission.”

Among the group’s 17 members, at least three pushed the hoax that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election and signed the infamous October 2020 letter dismissing reports about Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation.

Those signatories are John Brennan, former director of the CIA; James Clapper, former director of National Intelligence; and Paul Kolbe, former senior operations officer at the CIA.

Clapper, in particular, became one of the leading proponents of the Russia-Gate hoax. In 2017, for example, he told CNN that Russian President Vladimir Putin “[k]nows how to handle an asset, and that’s what he’s doing with” Trump.

Brennan, likewise, pushed the hoax, writing in an August 2018 op-ed for the New York Times that Trump’s denials were “hogwash.”

“The only questions that remain are whether the collusion that took place constituted criminally liable conspiracy, whether obstruction of justice occurred to cover up any collusion or conspiracy, and how many members of ‘Trump Incorporated’ attempted to defraud the government by laundering and concealing the movement of money into their pockets,” Brennan wrote at the time.

Brennan’s partisan attacks were so unbecoming of the dignity of his former office that in 2018 Trump even threatened to revoke his security clearance, arguing that Brennan posed a national security threat. It remains unclear whether he followed through on the threat.

SELLERS: In Fond Memory of Mark Pellin

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) For loyal readers, “Mark Pellin” may have been a ubiquitous byline. Nearly every weekday morning for the past two years, one could expect him to have reliably churned out two or three pieces at a steady overnight clip, and sometimes more.

For us here in the Headline USA office, Pellin, 59—who passed away early Tuesday, following a brief hospitalization—was a lot more.

From very early on we realized what a find we had on our hands: to have secured, during the pandemic—for an on-site job opportunity, no less—a talented writer and editor who shared the same conservative values, a strong foundation in politics, a wonderful work ethic and self-driven initiative. But, above all, Pellin was a genuinely affable man who was so easygoing it made being around him a joy.

A 1990 graduate of Appalachian State University, the proud Mountaineer worked in a variety of local news and marketing positions in the Charlotte region.

At one of those jobs, he met his future wife, Tracy, who said she envied his fast ability to turn around well written copy while she would labor over every word.

By 2002, he had landed his first editing position overseeing a weekly newspaper, the Rhinoceros Times, as it sought to expand its operations from Greensboro into Charlotte, a venture that ultimately lasted six years.

“Mark was one of those rare gems you don’t come across very often,” recalled Rhino Times Editor John Hammer in a 2021 job reference email.

“From a purely financial standpoint we should have closed the Charlotte paper earlier than we did, but Mark was producing such a good paper every week that we thought the financial side would catch up with him,” Hammer added. “If I had a position for him, I would rehire Mark in a second.”

It was during his time there that Pellin encountered politicians like a young Dan Bishop, then a Mecklenburg County commissioner, who would go on to be one of the most prominent conservative voices in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Pellin even began enjoying something of a celebrity status himself while providing commentary for a local radio station, WBT 1110.

He also became acquainted with up-and-coming talk-radio personality Pete Kaliner, who would remain Pellin’s lifelong friend and invite him back on to discuss politics while promoting his work at Headline USA.

Pellin recalled once that, during a random encounter, a stranger who admired his work had recognized his last name and asked, “Are you related to the Mark Pellin?”

He would go on to attempt to launch his own political news website, PunditHouse, before making his way to Headline USA in 2021, where he was an indispensable part of a skilled and growing team eager to take on the conservative media world.

Although he never had the opportunity to witness Headline USA reach its full potential, Pellin believed in its mission and invested all he had into seeing it flourish as the evening editor, which he dubbed the “Midnight Show.”

Several of his articles had recently been featured on the nationally recognized site ZeroHedge, including one in February that received more than 334,000 views.

Pellin was a natural leader who knew that respect is best earned through understanding, and he delivered his feedback to writers with unparalleled patience and empathy. However, he wasn’t afraid to take ownership of his own mistakes and learn from them.

Outside of work, it was clear he was a truly fun person to be around, and also a loving family man who doted on his wife, Tracy; daughter, Olivia; son, Nathaniel; and mother, Barbara. He also is survived by a brother, David, and extended family.

Admirers of his work or those who knew him personally may pay their respects at DignityMemorial.com.

Biden Admin Withholds Damning Data on Illegal Immigration

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The Biden administration is fighting tooth and nail against the release of potentially politically damning documents related to its open border policies, igniting the ire of a conservative legal group. 

America First Legal (AFL) has been relentlessly pushing for the release of weekly ICE reports that are submitted for final approval before ICE can take deportation action against certain illegal aliens. 

The dispute stems from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by AFL in 2021, shortly after President Joe Biden’s inauguration, according to Fox News. Upon his appointment, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas forced ICE agents to submit weekly arrest reports before they could deport what they deemed to be non-priority illegal aliens. 

In response, DHS provided a heavily redacted document that hid the personal identifying information of illegal aliens, including potential affiliations with violent gangs, cartels and other terrorist groups. 

The concealment ignited AFL to slap DHS with a lawsuit for the fully unredacted documents. However, Biden officials argued that disclosing this information would invade the personal privacy of illegal aliens, even those potentially tied to gangs. 

“ICE properly withheld gang, cartel, and terrorist group affiliations of noncitizens under Exemption 7(C), because disclosure would invade noncitizens’ personal privacy without any countervailing public interest,” DHS claimed in a legal filing, Fox News reported on Sept. 19. 

AFL, on the other hand, slammed the DHS for apparently seeking to shield alleged gang members who may be in the country illegally. 

AFL Vice President Gene Hamilton told Fox that the American people “have every right to know the criminal history or gang affiliations of illegal aliens in the United States.” 

In the same statement, Hamilton added, “The simple fact is that every single crime they commit is a crime that wouldn’t have happened if our immigration laws were enforced, and the privacy interests of a cartel member or a gang member can never outweigh the need of the American people to know what is happening in their own country.” 

The legal battle unfolds against a backdrop of controversy surrounding the DHS, with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former Biden ally and campaign surrogate, criticizing Biden for his reckless handling of the open border chaos. 

Furthermore, damning videos have recently surfaced showing illegal aliens hijacking a train from Mexico to the United States, raising concerns about border security. Over 2,200 illegal aliens were reportedly captured in just one day in Texas, as reported by Fox.

Globalist Oligarchs Hatch Plan to Secure Senate in 2026 by Buying Maine Media

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A pair of globalist oligarchs from Europe may already be hatching a plan to meddle in American politics during the 2026 election after scooping up nearly two-dozen local newspapers in the state of Maine, Semafor reported.

Those newspapers, in turn, could play a big role in securing the seat of incumbent independent Sen. Angus King—a radical leftist who caucuses with Democrats—in next year’s election, as well as flipping the seat held by centrist Republican Sen. Susan Collins in the following election cycle.

George Soros’s Open Society Foundation and Swiss-born billionaire Hansjörg Wyss reportedly tried to keep their latest media acquisitions under wraps by going through a vaguely named intermediary organization called the National Trust for Local News.

Such is common practice for the dark-money donors, who frequently rely on shadowy networks such as Arabella Advisors to spread their illicit influence while potentially circumventing U.S. campaign-finance regulations banning foreign donations.

Wyss, a medical equipment magnate, has some past practice with media takeovers. For example, he is an active financial supporter of States Newsroom, a left-wing network of local news outlets.

Soros was recently part of an investment group that acquired Vice Media, which was responsible for the recent smear attack on real-life Sound of Freedom protagonist Tim Ballard.

Among the papers that the duo recently bought up are the Portland Press Herald, the Lewiston Sun Journal and the Kennebec Journal.

According to the National Trust for Local News website, “community newspapers are key to thriving societies, economies, and democracies.”

Further, the organization’s mission is to “create a future where local news thrives and people in every corner of this nation benefit from community-centered journalism.”

Presumably, however, the attempt to make local newspapers thrive means that Maine’s ranked-choice voting could be easily manipulated.

With a favorable 2024 political map expected to help Republicans reclaim the Senate in 2024, such long-range thinking could be the key that Democrats need to securing power once again and mitigating any short-term damages in 2026 by running phony Republican candidates, who could then ciphon off votes from Collins or another GOP frontrunner.

The Soros-controlled local media outlets would be on hand to run smear campaigns and other disinformation to push the wrong candidates, effectively sowing chaos in the race and allowing a unified Democrat challenger to coast to victory.

In any case, the coopting of local media sources in Maine is reflective of a larger national trend, which includes the centralization of the media into a propaganda wing for the establishment.
