During the same congressional hearing that featured Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, lawmakers also heard from an American teenager named Jamie Margolin of Washington state. She used the same type of doomsday rhetoric we've heard from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. According to Margolin, some of her peers are wondering why they should even complete their studies since the world is ending.

On Monday, the Women's March voted off its board Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory, and Bob Bland due to the anti-Semitism controversies surrounding them. The organization announced 16 new members to the board. I noted in my Monday blog that Zahra Billoo could cause problems for them due to her past statements on Israel, the FBI, and the IDF. She once called herself "a proud anti-Zionist." I was correct. Billoo tweeted early this morning the Women's March booted her off its board.

This should be a big deal, but since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a liberal, he'll get away with it. Time published a photo of Trudeau decked out in brownface at an Arabian Nights themed gala party in 2001. Trudeau has apologized, but also admitted he wore blackface while in high school. He claimed he had no idea at both times it is racist and wrong to do such things.

On Monday, news came out that the family of a dead abortion doctor found over 2,200 well-preserved bodies of babies he murdered when he was alive. Dr. Ulrich Klopfer resided in Illinois but had a clinic in South Bend, IN, where 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg serves as mayor. Buttigieg finally received questions on the house of horrors. Something tells me his answers won't shock you.

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday morning that he picked Robert C. O'Brien as his new national security adviser. He currently serves as the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs. The move comes a few days after Trump dismissed John Bolton as his national security adviser. Trump said the two of them had too many disagreements on foreign policy.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has told the country's Supreme Court to stay out of "political arena." The top judges will soon hear evidence on whether he acted lawfully by suspending the parliament until October 14. Johnson "warned Britain's most senior judges not to intervene in his decision to suspend Parliament," UK's Daily Mail reported. The suspension of parliament is an "inherently and fundamentally political" matter and is not something for the judiciary to decide, the government's lawyer Sir James Eadie argued before the UK Supreme Court.

California added Iowa to the list of states on its "travel ban" list because of the state's new prohibition against funding gender-transition surgeries under Medicaid.
The announcement by state Attorney General Xavier Becerra means that as of Oct. 4, California will no longer offer taxpayer-funded trips to Iowa for any public employee or student at a state-run university.
