Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has halted a $240 million contract signed by the Biden administration to develop an oral COVID-19 vaccine.

The contract, which has now been paused for 90 days, is with biotech company Vaxart Inc.

The project’s freeze comes just before 10,000 people were scheduled to begin clinical trials for the oral vaccine on Monday.

Kennedy and his team will review the initial study before deciding whether to terminate the contract or allow it to continue.

“While it is crucial that the Department [of] Health and Human Services (HHS) support pandemic preparedness, four years of the Biden administration’s failed oversight have made it necessary to review agreements for vaccine production, including Vaxart’s,” Kennedy said in a statement to Fox News.

Kennedy added, “I look forward to working with Vaxart and medical experts to ensure this work produces safe, effective, and fiscal-minded vaccine technology.”

Fox News reports:

The creation of a new COVID-19 vaccine was part of the Biden administration’s $4.7 billion Project NextGen initiative, which was launched in 2023 and works to streamline the…

King Charles III invites Trump for unprecedented second state visit
February 27, 2025
King Charles III has invited US President Donald Trump for an “unprecedented” second state visit to Britain, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said while visiting the White House on Thursday. “This is really special, this has never happened before, this is unprecedented,” Starmer said in the Oval Office as he handed Trump a hand-signed letter from the monarch containing the invitation. “This is truly historic.” Trump made a state visit during his first term in office in 2019, when he met the late Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles’s mother. “His majesty the king wants to make this even better,” said Starmer, who was at the White House to push Trump to give US security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a deal to end the war with Russia. The US president has long been a vocal fan of the British royal family. Reading the letter, Trump pointed out that he had been invited to Windsor Castle, near London, one of the royal family’s ancient homes. “On behalf of the wonderful first lady Melania and myself, the answer is yes,” Trump said. “It will be my honor to be there.” […]

Canada Moves Closer to Taking Over Russian Cargo Plane for Ukraine
February 27, 2025
The federal government is moving closer to gaining full control over a massive Russian cargo plane parked in Toronto and hopes to use the proceeds to support Ukraine. In June 2023, the federal government officially seized an aircraft that had been sitting on the tarmac at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport since February 2022. The plane hasn’t moved since then and Ottawa has issued new cabinet orders that clarify the plane’s ownership, pointing to foreign subsidiaries and affiliates of the Russian corporation thought to own the plane. William Pellerin, an Ottawa-based trade lawyer with the firm McMillan LLP, says these steps bring Canada closer to taking full possession the plane and he believes this will happen “imminently” in spite of court challenges. Russia has claimed that Ottawa is undertaking an illegal expropriation and is violating the terms of the foreign investment protocol Moscow signed with Ottawa decades ago. The Canadian Press has contacted Global Affairs Canada and the Russian embassy in Ottawa for comment. […]
Christian Identity in the U.S. Holds Steady after Years of Decline, Pew Finds
February 27, 2025
Christianity in America may no longer be in decline, according to a new Pew Research Center survey that also reveals hopeful signs for the future of the faith across the nation. Pew’s latest Religious Landscape Studies survey shows that 62 percent of Americans identify as Christian, a number that is slightly more than 2022 (60) and just one point lower than 2020 (64). The stability is a welcome sign for the nation’s church leaders, who have watched Christian identity in Pew surveys fall from 78 percent in 2007, to 71 percent in 2014 and then roughly another 10 points to its present level. “After many years of steady decline, the share of Americans who identify as Christians shows signs of leveling off,” a report summary said. The Religious Landscape Studies survey includes interviews with 39,000 Americans and is the largest survey Pew conducts, providing comprehensive data not collected by the U.S. Census. “It’s striking to have observed this recent period of stability in American religion after that long period of decline,” said Pew’s Gregory Smith, one of the study’s co-authors. “One thing we can’t know for sure is whether these short-term signs… Read the full article here […]

One Name on List of Possible Mitch McConnell Successors Is Sure to Rev Conservative Engines – RedState
February 27, 2025
A week ago, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made it official that this would be his last term in office after serving in the United States Senate for over four decades. After noting that he was “humbled” by the faith Kentuckians had put in him over the years, the 83-year-old McConnell said, “Representing our commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime. I will not seek this honor an eighth time. My current term in the Senate will be my last.” The former Senate Majority Leader, who has suffered some health scares over the last couple of years, had previously been praised by conservatives for being the “GOAT” on judicial confirmations. But in recent years, he earned their disdain for – among other things – positioning himself as a Trump-skeptic voice of sorts, most recently with his votes against some of President Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Culling Chickens to Stop Bird Flu Isn’t Working, Dr. Robert Malone Says
February 27, 2025
In a conversation with EpochTV’s Jan Jekielek, Malone questioned the strategy for avian influenza outbreaks. He’d prefer to breed flu-resistant chickens. OXON HILL, Md.—In a discussion with American Thought Leaders host Jan Jekielek, Dr. Robert Malone questioned the current approach to limiting bird flu outbreaks—the culling of tens of millions of domesticated birds. Twenty million egg-laying chickens died last quarter in connection with bird flu, including through the mass culling of flocks whenever avian influenza was spotted. The strategy is motivated in part by concern over the transmission of bird flu to humans. Bird flu—and the public health paradigm for preventing its spread—have contributed to fast-rising egg prices. Malone, known for his skepticism of the U.S. public health establishment’s approach to COVID-19, voiced concerns about the culling strategy in his interview with Jekielek. “It’s not working. That is the old-school way to control outbreaks,” the medical doctor said. The conversation between Malone and Jekielek took place on Feb. 22 at the Conservative Political Action Conference, located at a resort just outside Washington. […]
Trantifa Activist Arrested in Colorado For Vandalism Attacks on Tesla Dealership › American Greatness
February 27, 2025
Police in Loveland, Colorado have arrested a suspect in connection with several “offensive and hateful” vandalism incidents involving incendiary devices at the local Tesla dealership. The suspect, who goes by the name Lucy Grace Nelson, is a biological male (formerly Justin Thomas Nelson). The alleged “trantifa” activist was arrested just before midnight on Monday after a weeks long investigation and “incorrectly booked” into the Larimer County Jail as a female, according to the Post Millennial’s Andy Ngo on X. All the major media outlets, including the Denver Post, CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, CNN, and Fox News, are referring to Nelson as a woman in their reports. Police launched the investigation on Jan. 29 after they found incendiary devices on the scene of the first vandalism incident, according to a Loveland Police press release. Investigators said two more incidents occurred at the dealership on Feb. 2 and Feb. 7. Photos and video taken at the dealership after the Feb 7 incident showed several Cybertrucks and other Teslas with red X’s spray painted across the windshields, and graffiti on the building reading “NAZI CAR.” There was also… Read the full article here […]
