Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on Capitol Hill for two hearings on Wednesday and embarrassed leftist Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) when he tried to outsmart him on health matters.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, RFK Jr. first testified before the Senate Finance Committee on his agency’s budget and the deals that the Trump Administration struck with drug companies to lower prices.

Late in the hearing, Warnock decided to test RFK Jr.’s knowledge of rabies, one of the most deadly diseases on the planet.

Warnock started off by trying to ‘educate’ the HHS Secretary on rabies, which can be spread by numerous animals to humans, including raccoons, foxes, and skunks.

Of course, RFK Jr. already knew this information.

Sen. Warnock: Secretary Kennedy, do you know what rabies is?

RFK Jr.: Yeah…

Sen. Warnock: So, people contract rabies, as we know, through bites from infected animals, like skunks, foxes… like raccoons. pic.twitter.com/Sb7IEr35qv

Then, Warnock decided to attack RFK Jr. for making budget cuts to the ‘rabies office.’ He said that only one person is handling issues concerning the disease at the CDC rabies division in Atlanta, Georgia.

But what the Georgia senator neglected to say was that rabies cases in humans are EXTREMELY rare, with only a couple of cases per year on average. Thus, this seems like a job one person can handle.

RFK Jr. left Warnock stammering when he dropped this truth bomb.

WATCH:

RFK Jr. just showed America that Sen. Warnock (D-GA) is an absolute DOPE

WARNOCK: You made cuts to the rabies office!

RFK JR: “There’s 1-3 rabies cases PER YEAR in the US! I think ONE PERSON manning that office can handle that traffic!” pic.twitter.com/hPxbRgEBIs

WARNOCK: You’re gutting the very offices that keep American families safe from disturbing and deadly infectious diseases.

RFK JR: Senator, there’s one to three rabies cases a year in the United States. I think one person manning that office full-time can handle that traffic.

WARNOCK: Here, uh, here, uh…

Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren (D-MA) tried to go after RFK Jr. over TrumpRx’s price cuts earlier in the day, but he shut her down completely.

The 70-year-old pilot miraculously survived the crash but is in critical condition.

A small California airport plagued by safety concerns was the stage of a shocking crash involving a low-flying light plane attempting to land before hitting power lines and crashing down.

The New York Post reported:

“Terrifying footage has emerged of the plane careening into utility poles along Van Nuys Boulevard just blocks from the Whiteman Airport in Pacoima, leaving the 70-year-old male pilot hospitalized in critical condition.

In video posted Tuesday on X, the plane was seen flying close to the power lines when it clipped them, flipping over and nosediving into the ground.”

“LAFD said the plane, a single-engine Cessna owned by Vista Aviation and rented by the pilot, was doing patterns around the airport when it hit the power lines, eventually crashing into a parking lot at an O’Reilly’s auto shop. It had only been in the air for about 10 minutes. The pilot was found outside the plane.

A bystander who helped the pilot told KTLA that ‘half his body was crushed from the plane’.”

Watch: people manage to pull the pilot out of the plane.

The plane crash knocked out power to some parts of the city, with crews working to restore it.

Residents have been trying to close the Whiteman airport for his ‘highly urbanized’ location.

The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the plane crash.

Watch: similar Pacoima crash from 2020.

Starmer continues to refuse to resign.

After surviving dozens of crises and scandals, embattled Labour party leader Keir Starmer is facing the most serious danger of losing political power of his 2-year Premiership.

The US DOJ release of the ‘Jeffrey Epstein files’ led to the dismissal of US ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson, and subsequent collapse of his life, from resigning from the House of Lords up to his arrest for suspicion of ‘Gross Misconduct in Public Office’.

But the fallout also hit PM Starmer square in the jaw, as the failed vetting process – that Mandelson flunked – and the cover-up led to an unprecedented crisis.

After the scapegoated Sir Olly Robbins testified to the House of Commons, and it became clear that Starmer’s chief of staff told the Foreign Office to ‘just f***ing approve it’, many in the British media and society feel the Premier has to go.

But Starmer himself has not ‘received the memo’, apparently.

Now, a Labour MP has come forward as the first member of Starmer’s party to call publicly for the PM to resign over his mishandling of the Mandelson vetting scandal.

The Telegraph reported:

“On Wednesday, Jonathan Brash, the MP for Hartlepool, demanded the Prime Minister’s resignation and said no MP ‘reasonably expects’ him to last until the next general election.

He broke cover as three former Cabinet secretaries lined up to criticize Sir Keir after he sacked Sir Olly Robbins as chief of the Foreign Office for not telling him that Lord Mandelson had failed his security vetting.”

Ministers and backbenchers have reportedly soured on him, including members of the foreign affairs committee who feel Starmer was wrong to sack [former Foreign Office chief] Sir Olly [Robbins].

“Speaking on GB News on Tuesday, Mr Brash said: ‘I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that as far as the Prime Minister is concerned it’s not a case of if – it’s when. Ultimately, we’re in a situation now where I don’t think anyone reasonably expects the Prime Minister to lead the party into the next election’.”

‘You’re saying it’s not if, but when the Prime Minister should resign?’

‘Yeah.’

An unhinged student at the University of Michigan, who is allegedly transgender, was caught on video making a death threat against conservative comedian Alex Stein, telling him to “watch out for a hole in the neck” in an obvious reference to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, during a Turning Point USA campus event.

The threat took place during a Turning Point USA “Pick Up the Mic” free speech event earlier this month, modeled after Kirk’s famous campus discussions.

In the video posted by Stein on X on Tuesday, the student engaged Stein on topics including affirmative action, DEI policies, and meritocracy.

After the exchange, as the student walked away, he delivered the ominous line, “Watch out for a hole in the neck.”

The comment is a clear reference to Kirk, who was assassinated in September by a gunman who shot him in the neck.

Tyler Robinson, 23, has been arrested and charged with the shooting. He was living with his transgender furry boyfriend at the time of the murder.

The threat was made in front of a crowd of students with security present, yet the individual simply walked off without consequences.

The University of Michigan student newspaper, The Michigan Daily, covered the event but focused its outrage on Stein, accusing him of making “racist remarks” during the debates, while barely addressing the student’s explicit threat.

The paper described the comment as an “allusion to the killing of TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk” but downplayed any real concern, noting the student “walked away from Stein without confronting any TPUSA event staffers or police officers.”

The Michigan Daily reports:

One speaker, who did not provide their name, debated Stein on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. They made the rhetorical point that paying government interns serves as a form of DEI that makes internships more accessible to individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. In response, Stein said he disapproves of paying government interns.

At the end of their conversation with Stein, the speaker made an allusion to the killing of TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk, telling him to “Watch out for a hole in the neck.” The individual walked away from Stein without confronting any TPUSA event staffers or police officers that were present.

No statement has yet been issued by the University of Michigan administration or campus police regarding any disciplinary action or investigation into the student. The Gateway Pundit has reached out for comment and will update this article if one is provided.

Turning Point USA has not commented publicly on the incident as of this writing.

The Gateway Pundit will continue monitoring for any updates from the University of Michigan, campus police, or law enforcement regarding potential charges or expulsion proceedings.

President Trump on Wednesday called out the rigged Virginia election.

On Tuesday evening, Virginia voters passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit Democrats and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans.

“The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state’s current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia’s congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge,” Fox New reported.

Virginia’s radical Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger lied on the campaign trail and said that she would not support gerrymandering and the congressional redistricting referendum.

The party that calls Trump a “dictator” and republicans “fascists”, now controls 90% of the districts in a state they won by 5%.

The irony…

Trump said Tuesday night’s Virginia election was rigged.

The President also said the language on he referendum was “purposely unintelligible and deceptive.”

President Trump’s full statement:

A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA!

All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive “Mail In Ballot Drop!”

Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory! Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split.

In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive.

As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they!

Let’s see if the Courts will fix this travesty of “Justice.” President DONALD J. TRUMP
