This Week in the World Affairs Brief
THE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION
Except for a few mainstream media commentators who kept accusing Kirk of hate speech, the entire nation is in shock over the targeted killing of this young conservative icon at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. When it first happened, most attendees and local reporters thought it was done by a shooter at close range with a handgun. An older man can be seen in a news video being hauled off by the arms and legs by police, but he turned out not to be involved. They apprehended another “person of interest” and had to release him too as he was obviously innocent. Finally, the 3 or 4 people who had shot videos of a person lying on a distant rooftop nearby on campus and filmed running away on the roof after the shooting, got their message to police and the narrative changed to the hunt for the rooftop sniper. But by that time, the figure seen in black was long gone as the police manhunt ensued. Utah, known as a conservative state, was outraged that this would happen here. While the University is embarrassed at its light security, the mainstream Republican Governor of Utah and local FBI have vowed to find the killer and bring him to justice. This week, I’ll cover the saga of the 2 day manhunt for the shooter and the news from President Trump that the “finally got him.” For a free one-time sample of the brief, along with options on how to subscribe, click on Request a Sample on the left.

France in Flames As the 'Block Everything' Protest Movement Sweeps the Country – PJ Media
France and its hapless President Emmanuel Macron are in deep trouble. On Monday, Macron's government failed to survive a "no-confidence" vote as the country spiraled into crisis. What's most worrying for Macron is that the vote wasn't even close. Prime Minister François Bayrou was dumped overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote. At issue: Bayrou's sensible but unpopular notion that France had to cut spending to address a growing debt crisis.

Texas A&M Ousts 2 Officials After Student and Professor Clash Over Gender Identity Lesson
The disputed lesson included teaching that there are more than two genders. In another clip, the professor told the student she was “very free to leave, and now is the time to do that.” Harrison also released audio in which the student appealed directly to Texas A&M University System President Mark A. Welsh III to dismiss the professor. Welsh replied, “That’s not happening.”
FDA Chief Says No Solid Evidence Supporting Hepatitis B Vaccine at Birth
The CDC first recommended the hepatitis B vaccine in 1982, the year after it was cleared, for people deemed to be at high risk, such as drug users, pregnant women, and infants born to mothers who had hepatitis B. By 1992, the recommendation for infants shifted to the first day of life and was broadened to all newborns because of “the difficulty of vaccinating high-risk adults,” according to the CDC. Three doses of the vaccine are on the CDC’s childhood immunization schedule
Trump Condemns Stabbing of Woman on Charlotte Train
Trump later took to social media to say that the accused was a career criminal who had been released on cashless bail a total of 14 times. “What ... was he doing riding the train, and walking the streets? Criminals like this need to be LOCKED UP,” the president wrote, adding that the victim’s “blood is on the hands of” politicians who refuse to put bad people in jail. The killing has drawn national attention, with Republicans tying the incident to national debates over criminality.

Russia Strikes Ukraine Government Complex, Near Zelensky's Office, In War's Biggest Air Attack
Russia launched its largest-ever aerial assault on Ukraine early Sunday, sending over 800 drones across the country, which included decoys. The prior largest strike, which happened in July, saw around 730 drones sent. At least nine missiles also made impact on Sunday, local officials said. Some sources say the fresh assault may be seen up to 1,000 projectiles launched. Crucially, this is the first ever aerial strike directly targeted Ukraine’s cabinet of ministers, a major government complex in the heart of central Kiev.

Global Mail Disruption Deepens As U.S. Tariffs Trigger International Postal Shutdowns
The sudden halt comes amid mounting trade frictions as Washington uses tariff policy to rebalance foreign commerce. For small businesses, e-commerce sellers, and consumers relying on international packages, the suspension has created uncertainty and extended delivery delays. Without an agreement, logistics experts warn that U.S. buyers and overseas exporters alike could face lasting disruptions in the global flow of goods - underscoring how deeply interconnected the world’s postal infrastructure has become.
Why Washington’s Panic Over Kennedy Tells Us He’s Close to the Truth
But read the captions closely: The questions weren't really about medicine; they were about power. Secretary Kennedy has been working to dismantle a system that thrives on crisis, contracts, and revolving door profits. His punishment wasn't the result of his hard work, which put errors into the spotlight. Instead, he was punished for the simple act of touching the money tree. That action alone explains the flak.
The Image That Killed the Democrats in 2026 and Beyond
A violent lunatic with fourteen previous arrests under his belt but who still freely roamed the streets randomly and viciously stabbed a young woman on the train, killing her. The murder occurred over two weeks ago, and they had every reason to believe the "local crime story" was as dead as the beautiful young victim. But then, the video emerged. It's chilling and terrifying, the horror that every urban female (and plenty of males) fears. The still image of the moment the madman's knife begins its descent is the most damning optic I've seen in years, and it will now become the face of the modern Democrat party.
Japan's Prime Minister Ishiba Resigns, Most Likely To Be Replaced With Hard-Line Conservative
For much of the past two months, ever since the historic loss of Japan's LDP in July's parliamentary elections, we have mocked the highly unpopular Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba, who was clinging to the post despite record disapproval and a clear shift in popular sentiment that had clearly stripped him of mandate to be Japan's leader.
Biased Wikipedia Hurls Brickbats at Fox and Newsmax, Bouquets at CNN and MSNBC
Even their leftist tilt is questioned! “In October 2019, American socialist magazine Jacobin argued that ‘MSNBC embodies the politics and sensibility of Trump-era liberalism, but argued that MSNBC ‘wasn’t always liberal.’” Then they quoted Tom Jones, the Poynter Institute’s version of Brian Stelter, who “argued that the primary distinction between MSNBC and Fox News is not left bias vs. right bias, but rather that much of the content on Fox News, especially during its prime-time programs, is not based in truth.” So, Fox is even maligned in the Wikipedia entry on MSNBC.
‘We Are Being Lied To’: RFK Calls Out CDC Cover-Ups
“The data from that study showed that black boys who got the vaccine on time had a 260% greater chance of getting an autism diagnosis than children who waited,” Kennedy said. But the chief scientist on that study, Dr. William Thompson, was called into an office by the head of the Immunization Safety Branch of the CDC “in order to destroy that data.” “Then, they published it without that fact,” Kennedy said.

Damning New Evidence Emerges in Biden Autopen Scandal
Most tellingly, Dixon noted in her email that "the president did not review the warrants." The expectation that autopen would handle Biden’s pardons and commutations says everything about how his White House operated and raises legitimate questions about who was really running the country. Staffers routinely mechanically applied Biden's signature to legal documents, and now we know his own counsel admitted he never actually reviewed what he was supposedly signing.
India Doubles Down On Russian Oil Purchases, As Trump Declares Both Are 'Lost' To 'Deepest, Darkest China'
President Trump on Friday said India and Russia seem to have been "lost" to China following Modi and Putin having met with President Xi Jinping this week, amid the leaders hailing the forging ahead of a new multi-polar order which seeks to thwart a purely Washington-centric global system. "Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!" Trump wrote in a social media, with an accompanying a photo of the three leaders together at Xi's summit in China. This has been followed on Friday with India confirming that it will double down on Russian oil purchases, in defiance of US tariffs and threats.
