Donor with Rare Antibodies Gave Blood Every Two Weeks for Decades to Save Babies

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[James]Harrison, known as the “Man With the Golden Arm,” has donated blood nearly every week for 60 years. After all those donations, the 81-year-old Australian man “retired” Friday. The occasion marked the end of a monumental chapter.

According to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service, he has helped saved the lives of more than 2.4 million Australian babies.

Harrison’s blood has unique, disease-fighting antibodies that have been used to develop an injection called Anti-D, which helps fight against rhesus disease.

This disease is a condition where a pregnant woman’s blood actually starts attacking her unborn baby’s blood cells. In the worst cases, it can result in brain damage, or death, for the babies. (Read more from “Donor with Rare Antibodies Gave Blood Every Two Weeks for Decades to Save Babies” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rapper and entertainer Kanye West began an online conflagration after he began tweeting support of President Trump, but a new poll shows how many Americans believed the campaign was authentic.

While more than half of Americans believe West made his comments simply to seek publicity, only 39 percent say that they think he believes in what he’s saying.

The CNN poll showed that many more Republicans had faith in his authenticity, 56 percent, than did Democrats, of which only 30 percent think be believed in what he’s saying.

West angered many on the left and thrilled many Trump supporters after he began posting videos of online personalities who were supporters of the president.

“You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him,” West tweeted. “We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone.”

Gun Manufacturer Issues Scathing Rebuke Against Dick’s Sporting Goods, Pulls out of Stores

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dick’s Sporting Goods is continuing to feel the consequences of its decisions on weapons following the deadly Parkland school shooting.

Another major gun manufacturer announced Wednesday that it is severing ties with the sporting goods store after it hired three Washington, D.C., lobbyists to push for gun control legislation, the National Review reported.

Dick’s had already banned the sale of assault-style weapons and raised the minimum age for purchasing a gun to 21 after the mass shooting at the Florida high school in February that took the lives of 17 people. But the move to lobby gun control efforts on Capitol Hill was the last straw for several prominent gun manufacturers.

O.F. Mossberg & Sons Inc., the parent company of Mossberg guns, issued a statement announcing the end of its relationship with Dick’s Sporting Goods. . .

“Make no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick’s Sporting Goods’ recent anti-Second Amendment actions,” he added, telling customers to “visit one of the thousands of pro-Second Amendment firearm retailers” instead of Dick’s.

Nancy Pelosi Raises Eyebrows and a Whole Lot of Questions with Incoherent Rant on Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats’ swift condemnation of President Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal may have been too quick for Nancy Pelosi to coherently gather her thoughts.

The House Minority Leader slammed the president for his decision, which she claimed threatens global security, but was soon rambling in her weekly briefing with reporters.

“For the president to destroy the successful Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action gravely endangers our global security and defies comprehension,” Pelosi said Thursday, referring to the Iran nuclear deal as “one of the great diplomatic achievements of our time.”

The California Democrat then held up a book which she earlier explained contained statements by Democrats in favor of the Obama-era policy.

“I show you this book because we didn’t ask people to sign a letter,” she said. “We asked them to study the agreement, to study the validation of ambassadors, and generals and admirals and military people across the board.”

Bombshell Report Suggests FBI Had a Mole Embedded Inside Trump Campaign

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, Kimberly Strassel unpacked some stunning developments in the battle between the Department of Justice and House Intelligence Committee members.

House Intel Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, D-Calif., and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., received a classified briefing at the DOJ on Thursday, viewing classified documents about a top-secret intelligence source that was part of the FBI probe of the Trump campaign.

According to Strassel’s Wall Street Journal piece:

The department knew full well it should have turned this material over to congressional investigators last year, but instead deliberately concealed it.

House investigators nonetheless sniffed out a name, and Mr. Nunes in recent weeks issued a letter and a subpoena demanding more details. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s response was to double down—accusing the House of “extortion” and delivering a speech in which he claimed that “declining to open the FBI’s files to review” is a constitutional “duty.” Justice asked the White House to back its stonewall. And it even began spinning that daddy of all superspook arguments—that revealing any detail about this particular asset could result in “loss of human lives.”

Accuser Recants: Two Men Wrongfully Convicted of Rape Exonerated 26 Years Later

/0 Comments/in , /by

A long 26 years later, two men wrongfully convicted of rape were finally exonerated on Monday in a Manhattan Supreme Court after the accuser admitted the assault “never happened.”

In 1991, Van Dyke Perry and Gregory Counts were convicted of the kidnaping and rape of an unidentified woman in Harlem despite a lack of physical evidence. Perry spent 11 years behind bars and Counts served 26 years.

The woman claimed she was kidnapped at knife-point and raped in a car by three black men near her Queens residence. But there was no physical evidence to support her accusations concerning Perry and Counts; the semen collected after the alleged rape did not match the accused. However, as noted by Vibe, the prosecution relied on the “inconsistent testimony” of the accuser, who was a recovering crack addict. Moreover, as pointed out by the defense at the time, the woman’s then-boyfriend was wanted by authorities for shooting Perry two months before the alleged incident.

In April, the accused admitted to authorities and the New York Innocence Project that she lied about the rape. It “never happened,” she confessed, adding that she was on drugs at the time and pressured by her then-boyfriend to lie . . .

After the men had their convictions vacated in court, an emotional Counts amazingly expressed his forgiveness for the woman who wrongfully accused him of rape; the woman responsible for putting him behind bars for 26 long years.

Woman Calls 911 and Says She’s Dying. The 911 Operator’s Response Is Insane.

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a gripping and shocking exchange, a young French woman in mortal danger and agonizing pain called emergency services and told the operator she was going to die, only to have the operatory coldly respond, “”Yes … you will die, certainly, one day, like everyone else.” The 22-year-old woman died only a few hours later. . .

The operator then gave Musenga the phone number to SOS Médecins, France’s medical emergency service that sends doctors directly to a house. . .

According to CNN affiliate BFM TV, the lawyer for Musenga’s family said at a Thursday news conference that a doctor who came to Musenga’s house had her taken to a hospital, but she suffered two heart attacks soon after she arrived and eventually died. BFM TV reported that the initial autopsy showed symptoms of multiple organ failure and hemorrhaging.

The Musenga family lawyer told reporters, “There were no questions like: ‘Are you alone? Are you able to dial the phone number?’ ‘How long have you been hurt?’ Or ‘Are you in pain?’ All that she has had as treatment is indifference or cynicism.” Musenge’s father Policarpe told reporters, “We are waiting for justice to be done … to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Whether it was bad will or dysfunctions, it is a serious error.” (Read more from “Woman Calls 911 and Says She’s Dying. The 911 Operator’s Response Is Insane.” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence, a devout Christian himself, shared a moving moment that occurred when he met the three American detainees returning from North Korea: one of the men handed him a note on which was written the 126th Psalm.

The three men who were released were Kim Hak Soon, Kim Dong Chul, and Kim Sang Duk. Hak-Soon and Sang Duk, who taught at the Pyongyang University of Science & Technology (PUST), were detained in April & May 2017; Kim Dong Chul was arrested in October 2015.

Kim Hak-song was ordained as an evangelical Christian pastor affiliated with the Oriental Mission Church in Los Angeles. His wife told CNN that he is an agricultural expert who’d been teaching rice-growing at the university. (Read more from “One Of The North Korean Detainees Handed Pence A Note.

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

By Indy100. A pro-Trump billboard that tells liberals to ‘get their guns’ if they try to impeach President Trump has kicked off a storm on social media.

The sign, which is posted on private property in Maryland, around 30 miles from Washington, reads:

Hey liberals, better get your guns if you try to impeach President Trump. From all of your deplorables in Calvert County.

. . .

Residents of the area have had a mixed response to the sign’s message. Speaking to AB7 News, Michelle Rinker said: “I love the billboard. We’re conservative and there’s a lot of corruption that’s happened in this country and I don’t think it’s threatening.”

Other people have been less enthusiastic: “I hate that billboard,” a woman said. “I think it’s very threatening. I don’t like it at all.” (Read more from “Billboard: Get Your Guns, Pro-Impeachment Liberals” HERE)

Sexuality ‘Expert’ Says Parents Should Ask Babies for Consent Before Changing Diapers

/0 Comments/in , /by

A woman who describes herself as a sexuality expert and educator said parents should ask if it’s okay and make sure their babies give consent to change their diapers before parents do so.

Deanne Carson, a vocal advocate of consent in all arenas of life, went on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Thursday and stated bluntly that parents should make sure that babies, even newborns from birth, give consent before parents change their soiled diapers.

While Carson admitted that newborns cannot speak or even fully comprehend their world, parents should ask for consent by looking their child in the eyes and waiting for the baby to give them a response via body language.
