Abortionist Charged With Murder for ‘Callously’ Leaving Born-Alive Infant To Die

/0 Comments/in , /by

A doctor in Seoul, South Korea, has been arrested and charged with murder after a baby was allegedly born alive and left to die following a botched late abortion.

According to the Korea Times, both the abortionist, Shim, and the facility owner, Yoon, have been arrested and charged after leaving the baby to die after it was born alive following an abortion. An investigation into the incident found that the baby was alive both “before and after” the abortion procedure. The mother was reportedly 36 weeks pregnant, which means the child would have been fully developed and likely able to survive had he received proper treatment and care.

Investigators also learned that “hundreds” of other abortions had taken place at the facility.

Abortion in South Korea remains a legal gray area; though the Constitutional Court ruled in 2019 that the country’s abortion prohibition was unconstitutional, since that time there have been no clear laws or regulations surrounding abortion, which means it is considered legal up to the point of birth. In this instance, it was the act of infanticide — leaving the child born alive to then die — which led to the murder charge.

The Korea Medical Association, the country’s largest group of physicians, condemned the incident, noting “a fetus at 36 weeks of pregnancy is a baby who could survive well if born, and terminating a pregnancy at this stage is tantamount to murder.” (Read more from “Abortionist Charged With Murder for ‘Callously’ Leaving Born-Alive Infant To Die” HERE)

Shadowy CIA Operative Interacted With Lee Harvey Oswald Months Before JFK Assassination, Newly Released Docs Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

A shadowy CIA operative specializing in psychological warfare interacted with Lee Harvey Oswald ahead of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination — and then ran interference against congressional investigators probing whether the US spy agency was connected to the killing, newly disclosed documents show.

CIA officer George Joannides assumed the alias “Howard Gleber” in January 1963, and led an American effort to infiltrate anti-communist Cuban student groups in the year leading up to JFK’s killing that November, according to government documents released Thursday and reviewed by Axios.

Oswald, 23 at the time, got into a fight with members of one of those student groups — the DRE, an organization vehemently-opposed to dictator Fidel Castro’s rule over Cuba — while he was handing out pro-communist leaflets in New Orleans nearly four months before the JFK assassination in Texas.

That fight publicly exposed Oswald as a Castro-sympathizer — with news outlets covering a hearing that followed, and the soon-to-be killer later debating DRE members on a local television broadcast, according to Axios.

A year before that exposure, the Pentagon was looking for excuses to attack Cuba — including plotting a false flag plan known as Operation Northwoods, which drew-up a fake assault on the US that would be blamed on the communist nation.

TikTok Reportedly Building New U.S. Version Of App Ahead Of Sale

/0 Comments/in , /by

TikTok is reportedly building a new version of its app specifically for the United States. The video sharing platform’s app for American users has a planned launch in U.S. app stores Sept. 5, The Information reported.

This development comes shortly after President Donald Trump said the U.S. had “pretty much” reached a deal for an American company to acquire TikTok’s U.S. assets. The president told Maria Bartiromo of Fox News that the deal is “good for China, and it’s good for us.” He added he is optimistic about the deal even though it will require China’s approval.

“I think I’ll need probably China’s approval. I think President Xi will probably do it,” he said.

In April, an earlier deal that the Trump administration had to finalize TikTok’s sale fell through, reportedly in response to the president’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs.

Last month, the president extended the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance to divest its U.S. assets to Sept. 17. It was the third time the president extended the deadline, according to Fox News. (Read more from “TikTok Reportedly Building New U.S. Version Of App Ahead Of Sale” HERE)

NORAD Fighter Jet Intercepts General Aviation Plane After Multiple Airspace Violates Trump’s No-Fly Zone

/0 Comments/in , /by

A general aviation aircraft was intercepted Saturday afternoon by a NORAD-controlled fighter jet after entering restricted airspace near Bedminster Township, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump was spending the holiday weekend, officials said. The airspace over Bedminster is always locked down whenever Trump is in the area.

According to a statement from NORAD, the pilot entered a temporary flight restriction (TFR) zone shortly before 2:40 p.m. ET. A fighter jet performed a standard “headbutt” maneuver—a tactic used to catch a pilot’s attention—and safely guided the aircraft out of the restricted airspace. This incident was the fourth TFR breach in the area that day, with a fifth violation occurring afterward, bringing the total number of airspace incursions to five.

Trump Dismisses Musk’s Political Ambitions as ‘Ridiculous’ in Sharp Rebuke

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump slammed former first buddy Elon Musk for starting a third political party, saying such parties have “never worked” while also calling the move “ridiculous.”

Trump spoke with reporters before boarding Air Force 1 in Bedminster, New Jersey, when he was asked about Musk’s move to start a third party.

“I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party,” Trump said from the tarmac. “We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds to confusion.

“It really seems to have been developed for two parties,” the president continued. “Third parties have never worked. So, he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous.”

Musk announced the launching of a new political party called the “America Party” on his social media platform X on Saturday. (Read more from “Trump Dismisses Musk’s Political Ambitions as ‘Ridiculous’ in Sharp Rebuke” HERE)

Camp Owner Makes Ultimate Sacrifice to Rescue Children From Deadly Texas Flood

/0 Comments/in , /by

The camp director and co-owner of Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, died in the catastrophic flooding as he reportedly raced to save the lives of his young campers.

Dick Eastland, who purchased the camp in 1974, died after the wall of water crashed through the Christian summer camp, which is located along the banks of the Guadalupe River, Texas Public Radio reported.

The report cited a Facebook post from Eastland’s nephew, though the post has since been taken down.

Counselors, former campers and politicians who knew Eastland praised him for his heroic actions and ultimate sacrifice to save his campers.

“Camp Mystic’s Dick Eastland no doubt gave his life attempting to save his campers,” Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, wrote on X. “For decades he and his wife Tweety poured his life into loving and developing girls and women of character. Thank you Mr. Eastland. We love you and miss you.” (Read more from “Camp Owner Makes Ultimate Sacrifice to Rescue Children From Deadly Texas Flood” HERE)

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, as the state reels from deadly flooding that has killed dozens and left more missing.

“These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump Signs Big, Beautiful Bill Into Law: ‘Most Popular Bill’; Initiates Reciprocal Tariffs, “Up to 70%”

/11 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump signed the One, Big, Beautiful Bill into law on the Fourth of July at the White House, noting that it was the “most popular bill ever signed” in the history of the United States.

While speaking at the Military Family Picnic on Friday, Trump criticized Democrats for not voting for the Big, Beautiful Bill, noting that they didn’t vote for the bill either because of their “hatred” for the U.S. or for Trump.

Trump explained that the bill included the “largest tax cut,” “largest spending cut,” and the “largest border security investment” in the history of the U.S.

“The Democrats, they should have voted for it, they didn’t vote for tax cuts, they didn’t vote for taking care of people….they didn’t vote, not one vote and we knew that, because their hatred of either the country or me or both is so great, they didn’t vote at all,” Trump said.

Trump continued: “It’s the most popular bill ever signed in the history of our country, whether your military or anybody else, this is the most single most popular bill ever signed, and it includes the largest tax cut in American history, the largest spending cut, $1.7 trillion, and yet you won’t even notice it.”

House Passes Big Beautiful Bill Act, Sending It to Trump After Bruising Struggle

By New York Post. . . The GOP-led House of Representatives passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in a 218-214 vote Thursday following 29 hours of arm-twisting and deliberation that included the longest floor speech and longest procedural vote in the body’s 236-year history.

In the end, just two Republicans, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, voted against the measure after Trump held 11th-hour White House meetings Wednesday with more than a dozen holdouts. . .

Every House Democrat opposed the bill, in addition to the two Republican defectors. Massie, whom Trump is hoping to oust in the 2026 midterms, had rejected the legislation nearly every step of the way due to his deep concerns with its impact on the deficit.

Fitzpatrick turned against the bill after concluding that the Senate’s adjustments to Medicaid “fell short” of his standards.

Fiscal hawks and moderates alike had initially bristled at the Senate’s modifications to the 870-page bill, which cleared the upper chamber Tuesday in a 51-50 vote that required Vice President JD Vance to break a 50-50 tie.

Trump begins rolling out ‘reciprocal’ tariffs of up to 70% on nations without deals: ‘We’re giving them a bargain’

By Steven Nelson. President Trump said he’ll begin rolling out “reciprocal” tariffs Friday on countries that have yet to reach a tentative deal with his team — with the new US trade taxes hitting as high as “60 or 70%.

“We’re going to start sending letters out to various countries starting [Friday]. We’ll probably have 10 or 12 go out,” Trump told reporters after midnight as he returned from a speech at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

“I think by the 9th [of July] they’ll be fully covered, and they will range in value from maybe 60 or 70% tariffs to 10 and 20% tariffs.”

The upper rates indicate Trump may boost some nations’ figures even higher than described in his April 2 “Liberation Day” rollout, which established a new 10% baseline tariff — roughly triple prior rates — and high duties on countries with large trade imbalances with the US.

The highest previously announced “reciprocal” rates — pegged to a nation’s trade deficit with the US — were 49% for clothing- and shoes-manufacturing hub Cambodia, 48% for next-door Laos and 47% for the world’s top vanilla exporter, Madagascar. (Read more from this article HERE).

‘I’d Be Careful What You Read’: 7 Times Trump Officials Turned Tables on Dem Lawmakers Trying to Corner Them

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Members of President Donald Trump’s administration have pushed back at Democrats’ attempts to ask them harsh questions during hearings.

While Democrat lawmakers have attempted to stump Trump’s cabinet members, they have repeatedly turned tables on their preferred narratives by providing facts that are often not reported on by Democrats or the corporate media. Members of the administration, including Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, gave congressional members reality checks on issues ranging from the riots in Los Angeles, California, or the deportation of alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

During a House Appropriations Committee hearing on June 10, Democrat Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum criticized Trump’s “premature and escalatory” decision to deploy the National Guard and U.S. Marines in light of the Los Angeles, California, riots that broke out over Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) arrests. The congresswoman attempted to contrast Trump’s handling to Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s response to the 2020 riots; Hegseth reminded her of the chaos that took place in Minnesota under Walz’s leadership at the time.

“Well congresswoman, thank you for the question. You are right, we are both originally from Minnesota and that’s why I recall 2020 quite well, when Governor Walz abandoned a police precinct and allowed it to be burned to the ground,” Hegseth said. “And [he] also allowed five days of chaos to occur inside the streets of Minneapolis. The police precinct, ma’am, was abandoned and burned to the ground and because of that, the National Guard, was eventually, far too late, mobilized.”

Critics Slam Kamala Harris for Gloomy July 4 Post — With Photo That Crops Out Biden

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Critics piled on former Vice President Kamala Harris for issuing a gloomy statement on the Fourth of July — while sharing a picture of last year’s festivities that cropped out her onetime running-mate Joe Biden.

“This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better,” Harris posted Friday on X.

“But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.”

X users were quick to point out that the image Harris promoted — which showed her and first gentleman Doug Emhoff enjoying an Independence Day fireworks display in July 2024 — was conveniently framed to exclude Biden and first lady Jill.

“Kamala cropping Joe out is very symbolic,” noted Link Lauren, a former senior adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign, publishing another shot from the White House balcony that shows the first couple just feet away.
