  1. So, KTTC asked Mayo Clinic for its response to the change. It did not expressly comment on the CDC’s action but spoke more broadly on the topic of the importance of vaccines.

    Note:
    Unfortunately, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has control of the CDC which used to provide sound advice on vaccinations. He has gone contrary to what vaccine studies have shown, and against pediatricians and other doctors advice regarding vaccinations.

    He is also regarded as an anti-vaccine activist. This is alarming because Robert Kennedy does not hold any medical related degrees.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. holds no degrees in the medical field: 
    Harvard University: BA in American History and Literature.
    University of Virginia School of Law: J.D. (Law Degree).
    Pace University School of Law: LL.M. (Master's in Environmental Law). 

    I do not recommend taking Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s advice on anything medical related - talk to your health care provider instead.  Don't take advice from a lawyer when it comes to the medical needs of you, your child, or your family.

  2. The annual suicide report, which the Department of Defense typically publishes each fall, provides suicide statistics from the previous calendar year that inform Congress, researchers, and senior leaders across the services on efforts to combat military suicide, a persistent problem.

    The defense department is also delayed in releasing its quarterly suicide data for 2025, with the third-quarter figures still unpublished, months later than usual.

  3. A two-year-old girl in Georgia has been left paralyzed after suffering a rare condition brought on after she contracted the flu, according to her parents.

    Sara Lopez, 2, fell victim to transverse myelitis, a disorder the Mayo Clinic describes as being triggered by influenza and other ailments that target body tissue. According to the clinic, transverse myelitis interrupts the messages sent from the spinal cord to the rest of the body. This can result in pain, muscle loss, and, as happened to Sara, paralysis.

  4. Navy Safety Command publishes a report on aviation, ashore and afloat mishaps at the end of each fiscal year that includes off duty and crash deaths, but does not report on deaths from overdoses, suicides or illnesses. The report only contains Class “A” mishaps, which means there were aircraft lost, damage of at least $2,500,000, a fatality or a permanent disability.

  5. U.S. forces have boarded another oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea. The announcement was made Friday by the U.S. military. The Trump administration has been targeting sanctioned tankers traveling to and from Venezuela.

    The pre-dawn action was carried out by U.S. Marines and Navy, taking part in the monthslong buildup of forces in the Caribbean, according to U.S. Southern Command, which declared “there is no safe haven for criminals” as it announced the seizure of the vessel called the Olina.

  6. Do you think Putin will retaliate?

    Russia’s transport ministry said Wednesday: “No state has the right to use force against vessels duly registered in the jurisdictions of other states.”

    Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) raised concerns about what comes next.  

    “I think there are a lot of questions about whether this seizure may raise the prospect of hostilities beyond what’s happened already,” he told reporters.

  7. Who is Going to Pay for This? 👀

    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday proposed setting military spending at $1.5 trillion in 2027, citing "troubled and dangerous times."

    Trump called for the massive surge in spending days after he ordered a U.S. military operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and spirit him out of the country to face drug trafficking charges in the United States. U.S. forces continue to mass in the Caribbean Sea.

  8. Recent comments by the Defense Secretary have faith leaders, atheists, and civil libertarians alike fearing that he will end the military's long support for religious pluralism by pushing his brand of Christian nationalism on the Chaplain Corps. 

    'Hegseth is overstepping his boundaries, trying to become the denominational policeman for members of the military,' says Reverend Justin Cohen, a Baptist chaplain for veterans in Pennsylvania.
