CNN’s most infamous ‘reporter’ got embarrassed during an interview with United Nations Ambassador Mike Waltz last night while acting like she knew more than him on the law and on Trump’s so-called media ban.

Collins spoke with Waltz outside the United Nations building on the night before Trump’s big address to the organization. Instead of talking to him about Trump’s upcoming speech and his ideas for UN reform, she spent her time with Waltz hectoring him over Trump’s ban on CNN’s access to the White House.

Waltz was in no mood to deal with Collins’s nonsense, especially when she refused to listen to what he was saying in response. He then schooled her on the previous Supreme Court cases that give the President the right to ban outlets from White House.

When Collins tried to object by saying that he was wrong on Supreme Court case law and that Trump had essentially banned CNN from reporting, Waltz quipped, “He’s not saying, ‘Don’t go out and report. Heck, we’re talking right now!

He reiterated this when Collins stubbornly refused to listen and repeated herself. Finally, he schooled her when she brought up Trump’s argument that the media WH ban was justified on national security grounds.

WALTZ: You just ignored what I said. You don’t have an inherent right to any government facility you want, whether it’s Langley or the White House. And that has been determined by multiple Supreme Court cases in the 60,70, and as recently as a few years ago…

COLLINS: But actually that case…

WALTZ: That’s an important distinction.

COLLINS: I remember you said that to Dana Bash on Sunday. That case found that…Reporters don’t have carte blanche to do everything, but you can’t just ban outlets based on their viewpoint or reporting.

WALTZ: He’s not saying, “Don’t go out and report.” Heck, we’re talking right now!

I hope we can talk about the reforms we’re going to do in the United Nations…But if we want to spend the entire time talking about this, fine.

COLLINS: But didn’t the president ban free outlets from…

WALTZ: I’m standing here talking to CNN right now, and you just referenced when I was on CNN on Sunday morning. That is very different than when you have access to every government institution.

COLLINS: The president is now making an argument that it’s a national security threat (for CNN to have access to White House). He did not make that argument Friday, Saturday, or Sunday…

WALTZ: I think when we have outlets relying on anonymous sources, talking about the levels of munition in the middle of conflict, vulnerabilities, deployment orders…that are highly classified, that’s absolutely a national security threat and should be investigated and prosecuted.

Fashion Icon’s Son Dies After Becoming Face of Psychiatry’s Anti-Stigma Campaign

Republished with permission from AbleChild.

Presley Gerber, 27, the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, was a model and mental-health advocate. Through Mental Health Mondays, Presley discussed panic attacks, depression, addiction and the pressure on men to conceal emotional distress.

Presley died September 20 at a rehabilitation facility. Police said the death was being investigated as a suspected overdose; an official cause has not been released.

Stigma and lack of access are repeatedly presented as the central dangers facing young people in distress urging them to seek mental health “treatment.” Presley’s story raises a harder question: who benefits when private suffering becomes a public campaign for psychiatric intervention?

In 2023, Presley appeared on Studio 22, an iHeartRadio-distributed podcast, and called mental health a “24/7 job.” The interview discussed the developing Mental Health Mondays project, an online series built around personal experiences with therapy, treatment and “Western medicine.”

What role did iHeartRadio’s commercial reach play in turning Presley’s private treatment history into a public mental-health narrative? iHeartMedia’s PAC is registered with the Federal Election Commission as a lobbyist/registrant PAC. During the 2023–24 cycle, the PAC gave nearly equal amounts to federal candidates of both political parties totally $320,500. What lobbying, political spending or policy relationships should a media company disclose when the company amplifies behavioral-health messaging and treatment narratives?

Anti-stigma campaigns turn young people’s private pain into public testimony and corporations, charities and treatment organizations turn that testimony into sales, donations and pressure for more screening, diagnosis, medication and treatment.

Presley’s final reported appearance was June 11 at the Malibu launch of the We Are ENOUGH x Aviator Nation bracelet. Presley joined Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber for a mental-health panel. Organizers said 100 percent of profits would support NAMI, Project Healthy Minds, Active Minds, the Kevin Love Fund and The Hidden Opponent.

Who designed the campaign? How much did it generate? What were the gross receipts, expenses and net distributions? What agendas related to psychiatric treatment, screening, medication, referrals and legislation do those organizations support?

The event reflects a wider corporate model: brands, nonprofit partners and behavioral-health organizations gain attention, donations and policy influence when young adults turn distress into public testimony. Campaigns should disclose sponsors, revenues, beneficiaries, referral relationships, policy agendas and industry ties.

The National Alliance Mentally Ill (NAMI) 2023 annual report lists Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Alkermes, Astellas, Axsome Therapeutics, Boehringer Ingelheim, Janssen, Neurocrine Biosciences, Novo Nordisk, Takeda and Teva among corporate supporters. NAMI also states that the organization works with members of Congress on legislation affecting people with mental health conditions. What influence, if any, do pharmaceutical-industry financial relationships have on NAMI’s messaging, education, policy priorities or support for expanded services?  Senator Grassley exposed NAMI’s past conflicts; and it appears not much has changed.

Meta recently agreed to pay up to $18 billion to settle state claims that Facebook and Instagram harmed young people’s mental health. The platforms accused of harming children also turn suffering into shareable content, branded advocacy and awareness campaigns.  The settlement money is flowing right back into the same behavioral health system that appeared to be advising Meta on mental health policies.

Presley’s own words publicly described a very alarming treatment history. In a since-deleted video reported by multiple outlets, Presley said approximately 15 psychiatrists had been involved and that Presley was seeking help tapering medications and described taking buprenorphine, Xanax and Valium, and also referred more broadly to opiates, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, medication for night terrors and ketamine drips.

Public reporting does not establish which drugs, if any, were present at the time of Presley’s death. FDA labeling nevertheless warns that combining opioids and benzodiazepines can cause profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma and death; Xanax labeling also warns of dependence and potentially life-threatening withdrawal. The behavioral health industry blames the underlying mental illness, but is that provable?

AbleChild calls for accountability, before public funds expand awareness campaigns, organizations should disclose corporate donors, revenues and distributions, paid partnerships, referral relationships, treatment-policy positions and ties to drug companies, insurers, providers and facilities.  Most of all the government should fund MEDWATCH as a public awareness campaign!

AbleChild calls for a human-rights standard for federally funded mental-health campaigns: full disclosure of treatment risks, dependence, withdrawal, adverse effects, drug interactions, informed-consent rights, records access, facility safety and financial conflicts.

Families deserve more than “get help”: full records, informed choices, independent oversight and institutions accountable to the people served.

AbleChild extends heartfelt support to Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber, Kaia Gerber and all who loved Presley Gerber.

No anti-stigma campaign should demand public trust while shielding the behavioral-health industry from scrutiny of drugs, treatment, safety, funding and accountability.

Maryland’s chief medical examiner has officially ruled that a Black man found hanging from a tree in Prince George’s County on Sunday morning died by suicide.

The ruling came Monday, just one day after the body was discovered high in a tree in front of an industrial business on the 9300 block of D’Arcy Road in unincorporated Upper Marlboro, WTOP News reported.

Police and fire crews arrived around 7:55 a.m. Sunday. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Because of the height of the body and the need to wait for the medical examiner, many drivers passing by saw the grim sight. Photos quickly spread on social media. Almost immediately, users began calling it a lynching.

County Executive Aisha Braveboy, a Democrat, held a press conference Monday and pleaded with the public to stop.

“Don’t ask for clickbait and use this tragedy to get followers or to get likes, because this is a tragedy,” she said. “A person is dead. He’s dead, and he took his own life.”

Braveboy added that officials “will tell the truth” and she would not entertain “theory, innuendoes and folks who just want to spew, quite frankly, untruths.”

The Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined the man died of suicide by hanging with no other signs of trauma.

Braveboy continued:

“It is not up to the Prince George’s County Police Department to make a determination on a manner of death. That was the medical examiner’s office… They have now made their official ruling of suicide. We will now continue the investigation because we think it’s important to get all of the information we can, collect all the evidence that we ca, because we think it can be informative for our community. We know that the community needs and deserves the truth.”

Police sources told local outlets that detectives have video evidence showing no one else was involved.

WATCH:

The man had a history of mental illness and prior suicide attempts, according to those same sources. His identity has not been released. The investigation remains open while detectives review his phone, additional camera footage, and speak with people who knew him. Toxicology results could take weeks, WJLA reported.

This is the latest example of a familiar pattern. Last month, a Black woman in Jackson, Mississippi, was found hanging from a tree. CNN and Democratic politicians immediately framed it as possible racial terror and “modern-day lynching.”

House Democrats, including Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Ayanna Pressley, sent letters to the Justice Department demanding federal investigations into a supposed nationwide pattern of Black Americans found hanging from trees.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a Black man was later arrested and charged with her murder.

President Trump will deliver remarks at the United Nations General Assembly in New York this afternoon in what is expected to be a unapologetically boastful speech about American greatness and hegemony in the world. 

During last year’s UN General Assembly, Trump spoke for nearly an hour, touting his success at ending the immigration crisis and ending wars across the world, and tore into the globalist establishment, Europe’s immigration policies, and the “green energy scam.”

This year’s address comes amid the ongoing war with Iran, which Trump is also expected to discuss.

UN Ambassador Mike Waltz told reporters that Trump will highlight the “importance of ensuring that Iran never has a nuclear weapon,” as well as the 20-point Gaza peace plan, US actions against drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere, and various peace deals Trump has worked on, NBC reports.

This comes as the US ramps up economic pressure on Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on Monday that Iranian airlines will be “shut down around the world” by tomorrow, September 23, threatening any country that provides fuel or landing services to Iranian aircraft. He further threatened sanctions on any bank that provides money to Iran.

WATCH:

A White House official said in a statement:

In his speech to the United Nations today, President Trump will lay out a clear case for how he is using American Power to confront longstanding challenges and reshape the world to America’s benefit.

From the Iranian nuclear threat, to cartel violence, to securing American interests in Greenland, while others have talked, President Trump has acted. The result will be a much safer and more prosperous world for the American People—and a much more powerful America.

President Trump will highlight his administration’s strategy for ending decades of violence, instability, and foreign interference in the Western Hemisphere.

He will also discuss the Trump administration’s efforts to prevent the U.N. and other globalist institutions from infringing on American sovereignty or imposing a radical-left wing agenda on the American People.

Following his speech, Trump is scheduled to participate in various meetings with world leaders on the sidelines of the UN.

Trump will hold meetings with the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Greenland, the UK, and Japan, and the President of Ukraine, throughout the morning and early afternoon.

Later, he is set to meet with leaders in the Western Hemisphere with the Shield of the Americas anti-cartel coalition and the Arab member nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

The President was expected to deliver his UN speech at 9:55 am ET. He is began speaking at approximately 10:30 am ET.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is quietly undoing all of the rules created by her Republican predecessor Glen Youngkin, regarding biological males competing in girls’ sports.

Virginia voters were warned that this would happen. Spanberger ran as a sort of middle-of-the-road candidate, but the minute she got into office, she revealed herself to be a creature of the far left.

This is a metaphor for the entire Democrat Party. The instant they regain any sort of power, they will pick up right where they left off in the fall of 2024.

FOX News reports:

Spanberger sparks outrage after sneakily ending Youngkin-era women’s sports protections

Critics, including parents of athletes, expressed outrage Friday after Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s administration quietly shut down a rulemaking process that would have required school sports to be divided by sex.

The move to end protections for scholastic sports based on sex is the latest development in the debate over whether biological males who identify as transgender should compete in girls’ sports.

“My jaw dropped when I saw the news,” former Del. Kim Taylor, R-Petersburg, told Fox News Digital on Friday. “As a mom of a daughter, I’m furious that protecting the privacy, safety, and opportunities of Virginia’s girls has somehow become controversial.”

“Governor Spanberger had a chance to stand up for women and girls, and instead she turned her back. Our daughters should never be asked to sacrifice their privacy or a fair playing field for someone else’s political agenda.”

Taylor focused on maternal and children’s issues during her time in Richmond and was the target of an assassination threat during her unsuccessful re-election bid last year.

Del. Wren Williams, R-Stuart, called the move “classic Spanberger.”

“Say one thing, do another, don’t tell anyone, and ignore them if they ask about it,” he told Fox News Digital.

Democrats have made it quite clear that they do not care what the public thinks on this particular issue.

They will go right back to this at their first opportunity. Count on it.

A bombshell sworn declaration filed in federal court is raising new questions about the Biden-era COVID-19 vaccine mandate imposed on America’s military.

According to TrialSite News, Army Lt. Col. Theresa Long, a retired Army flight surgeon now serving as senior medical military adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and reporting to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, filed a sworn declaration in Adirim v. U.S. Central Intelligence Agency et al., in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Long told the court she has firsthand knowledge of more than 29 service-member deaths after COVID-19 vaccination and that she has been tasked with examining roughly 55,000 military-linked adverse-event reports, including 2,544 death reports in the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

“I have first hand knowledge of over 29 deaths of servicemembers after vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccines. I am currently tasked with investigating the 55,000 vaccine adverse event reports filed on individuals identified as members of the U.S. Armed Forces, this includes 2544 deaths.

“As the first aviation brigade surgeon I had one servicemember die of rapid onset and progression of esophageal cancer after COVID vaccination and one in which a student pilot who had never been COVID positive, who experienced sudden cardiac death at the controls of a helicopter during a training flight.

“An independent cardiologist evaluated all imaging, labs and history on the student pilot and determined that myocardial injury secondary to the COVID-19 vaccines was the most likely cause.

The declaration reportedly cites troubling increases in several medical conditions recorded in the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database, including:

• A 151 percent increase in myocarditis and pericarditis
• A 43.6 percent increase in pulmonary embolisms
• A 34.9 percent increase in ovarian dysfunction
• A 22.9 percent increase in hypertension
• An 18.3 percent increase in cancers of the digestive organs

These figures are now being examined as part of a broader investigation into whether military health officials properly tracked vaccine injuries and deaths, or ignored them to protect the Biden regime’s vaccine narrative.

The declaration was filed in Adirim v. CIA et al., a case in the Eastern District of Virginia brought by Dr. Terry Adirim, the former acting assistant secretary of defense for health affairs under Lloyd Austin.

Adirim signed the September 14, 2021 Pentagon memo addressing the interchangeability of FDA-licensed Comirnaty and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine doses administered under emergency use authorization. She is now suing Ivan Raiklin over statements he made about her role in implementing the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The Gateway Pundit has covered this file from the beginning.

We reported when Adirim was quietly moved to the CIA’s Center for Global Health Services and then fired after President Trump returned to office. We reported when she sued the CIA, Director John Ratcliffe, and retired Green Beret Ivan Raiklin to claw her way back and to brand Raiklin’s accusations as defamation. And we reported when a federal judge allowed the CIA firing to proceed. See our prior coverage:

• NEW: Senior CIA Official Who Played Role in Biden Military Covid Vaccine Mandate Fired
• Top Doctor Behind Defense Department’s Vaccine Mandate Who Tossed Thousands of Men and Women from US Military For Not Taking Jab – Sues to Get Her Job Back
• Federal Judge Greenlights CIA Firing of Biden-Era Doctor Who Pushed Mandatory COVID Vaccines on Military Personnel
• Dr. Terry Adirim’s Legacy, Five Years On: The Unraveling of the Military COVID-19 Mandates and the Shot’s Illusion of Interchangeability

In a February 25, 2026 memorandum opinion, U.S. District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff dismissed Adirim’s claims against the CIA and Ratcliffe and denied her bid to pile on more federal defendants.

He kept her defamation claim against Raiklin alive, finding that Raiklin’s statements, including that Adirim “signed the memo institutionalizing the illegal vax mandate” and would face consequences for “genocide and mass mutilation,” could be read as factual accusations, not mere opinion, and that Adirim had adequately alleged actual malice at the pleading stage.

About 8,600 service members were thrown out. Tens of thousands left early. Another 20,000 retired early. Nearly a million were ordered to take a product service members had a statutory right to refuse absent a presidential waiver that Joe Biden never issued.

Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), a physician and former Naval Reserve medical officer, put it in language Washington cannot spin. After The Gateway Pundit’s five-year anniversary reporting on the Adirim memo, Harris called on Chairmen Comer, Paul, and Johnson to put Adirim under oath.

“Anthony Fauci got an autopen scribble pardon,” Harris said. “Dr. Adirim has no pardon.”
