Nurse May Have Killed Over 100 Patients

/3 Comments/in , /by

A nurse who is already serving a life sentence for two murders may have killed more than 100 patients over several years at two hospitals in northwestern Germany, prosecutors said Thursday.

Investigators have completed toxicological examinations on patients who died during Niels Hoegel’s time as a nurse in the hospitals in Oldenburg and Delmenhorst, prosecutors and police in Oldenburg said. They found a further 16 cases in which he is suspected.

In late August, they said they had determined that he might have killed at least another 84 patients beyond the ones for whose murder he is already serving time. At the time, they said that they were awaiting toxicology results on another 41 fatalities, which have now been concluded. (Read more from “Nurse May Have Killed Over 100 Patients” HERE)

Newest Threat to Mental Health: Christmas Music

/0 Comments/in , /by

Are you one of those people that can’t stand hearing Christmas songs months before the holiday actually arrives? Does hearing festive carols weeks before Thanksgiving only make you upset that you haven’t eaten your turkey yet? A psychologist in Great Britain says your reactions don’t make you a Grinch because too much Christmas music is actually bad for your mental health.

Clinical psychologist Linda Blair claims the constant barrage of Christmas tunes too early in the season forces people to remember all the things they have to do before the holiday. Blair says the songs are a reminder to buy presents, cater parties, organize travel, and all the more stressful chores during Christmas. “You’re simply spending all of your energy trying not to hear what you’re hearing,” Blair tells Sky News.

The psychologist added that store workers are most at risk for being worn down by the catchy beats. She states that hearing the same songs over and over each day make workers struggle to “tune it out” and they become “unable to focus on anything else.” “Christmas music is likely to irritate people if it’s played too loudly and too early,” Blair explained to reporters.

/0 Comments/in , /by

As a shooter attacked parishioners in a Sutherland Springs church Sunday, a grandmother stepped in front of her 18-year-old grandson, absorbing the bullets and saving his life, according to a family member.

Peggy Lynn Warden, 56, of La Vernia, was killed in the mass shooting at First Baptist Church that also left her grandson, Zachary Logan Poston, with multiple gunshot wounds in the arms and legs, said Korri Scheel Stevens, Warden’s sister-in-law and Poston’s great-aunt.

“She is our hero,” Stevens said. “She saved Zachary’s life.”

Stevens first shared the family’s story on a GoFundMe page created to help raise money for Poston’s medical expenses and his college education.

Warden was among the 26 people killed by Devin Patrick Kelley, who walked into the church with an assault rifle and opened fire. (Read more from “Grandmother Sacrificed Self to Save Grandson in Church Shooting” HERE)

Celebs Accused of Sexual Misbehavior Have Another Thing in Common

/0 Comments/in , /by

The growing number of celebrities accused of sexual misbehavior have another thing in common: They have unleashed vitriolic and sometimes violent rhetoric against Donald Trump.

Actor Charlie Sheen is the latest celebrity publicly accused of sexual offenses.

Actor Dominick Brascia, a friend of the late child star Corey Haim, told Hollywood Reporter that Sheen raped the then-13-year-old Haim 30 years ago on the set of “Lucas.” . . .

Sheen, who confirmed on the “Today” show that he was HIV positive, is denying the allegations . . .

Just hours after actress Debbie Reynolds died on Dec. 29, Sheen wished death upon then President-elect Donald Trump. (Read more from “Celebs Accused of Sexual Misbehavior Have Another Thing in Common” HERE)

U.S. Muslim Stokes Violence Against Coptic Christians

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some of the most vicious incitement against Christians in Egypt originates from a petite Egyptian woman sitting at a computer in her home in a quiet suburb of New Jersey.

It is not as though Egypt’s Muslim community needs any encouragement to go after Coptic Christians, but Arat Oraby does her part, calling the Copts a “gang” that needs to be boycotted and subjugated.

“The problem of the Christians in Egypt is that they follow the church gang,” she wrote. “They believe that (Coptic Pope) Tawadoros the criminal, or any other criminal who will replace him, was selected by the Lord and speaks on His behalf. The church gang deceives its followers in this despicable way, just like a thief or a swindler from the Middle Ages.”

She often refers to Christians as “Nazarenes,” as they are called in the Quran and by ISIS, and tells Egyptians to boycott Coptic businesses and buy only from fellow Muslims.

A Coptic priest was murdered on the streets of Cairo last week by a young Muslim, the latest in a string of murders and church bombings that began more than a year ago. (Read more from “U.S. Muslim Stokes Violence Against Coptic Christians” HERE)

U.S. Seeks Restrictions on Mexican Trucking Under NAFTA

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. has proposed another difficult change to the North American Free Trade Agreement that could eventually restrict long-haul Mexican truckers from operating in the country, according to people familiar with the discussions.

American negotiators asked to remove Mexico’s long-haul industry from a Nafta chapter on cross-border services, according to an industry official familiar with the proposal who isn’t authorized to speak publicly. That could open the door to restrictions on truckers, as losing Nafta trade protections and advantages would make it harder for Mexico to challenge any future U.S. requirements on trucks such as new safety checks.

One government official familiar with the text said the U.S. proposal would allow restrictions and limitations on Mexican trucking if certain conditions were reached, while another official described it as a broad industry exclusion that came during the last round of talks in October. Neither was authorized to speak publicly. The U.S. Trade Representative’s office declined to comment, and hasn’t made its proposals public. Reuters also reported last month that the U.S. was seeking fresh restrictions on long-haul trucks from Mexico, citing a person familiar with discussions.

Anthony Weiner Looking for Pen Pal in Prison

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, who reported to prison this week to begin a 21-month sentence for sexting with a 15-year-old girl, is hoping to stay in contact with the outside world.

Weiner’s away message on his personal email addresses provide specific instructions on how to stay in contact with the disgraced Congressman, the New York Post reported Thursday.

“Thanks for reaching out,” the message says. “Starting November 6th, I’ll be away for a while but I would love to stay in touch. As quaint as it may sound, the best way to reach me is by sending a letter. When you write, ill get you the information about how email might work.

“So please include your full mailing address here and of course include it when you write,” Weiner says in the message. “And although you didn’t ask — yes, you may send me books via Amazon. (No crockpots or washers/dryers though)”

Weiner then provides information on how to contact him via the “Federal Medical Center” in Massachusetts. (Read more from “Anthony Weiner Looking for Pen Pal in Prison” HERE)

Rampant Hollywood Pedophilia: Shocking New Report Claims Charlie Sheen Raped Corey Haim at Age 13

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Charlie Sheen is being named as the person who raped Corey Haim when the actor was just 13 years old, leading the child star to a life of drugs, which ultimately resulted in his untimely death.

Former actor Dominick Brascia, who was a close friend of Haim’s, came forward with the bombshell allegations against the “Two and a Half Men” star in a report published by the National Enquirer on Wednesday.

“Haim told me he had sex with Sheen when they filmed ‘Lucas,’” Brascia revealed. “He told me they smoked pot and had sex. He said they had anal sex. Haim said after it happened Sheen became very cold and rejected him. When Corey wanted to fool around again, Charlie was not interested.”

Sheen was 19 and Haim was just 13 when “Lucas” was being filmed and the alleged incident occurred. However, Brascia claims Sheen and Haim reconnected a few years later when both actors were in their 20s.

“Haim told me he had sex with Sheen again,” Brascia added. “He claimed he didn’t like it and was finally over Sheen. He said Charlie was a loser.” (Read more from “Shocking Report Claims Charlie Sheen Raped Corey Haim at Age 13” HERE)

Another Hate Crime Reported, Another Fake Story Exposed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Since the election of President Donald Trump one year ago, the number of hate crimes being reported has jumped off the charts.

But after police have time to investigate, they find many of the reports turn out to be unsubstantiated, or outright false.

The latest case of fake hate was meant to make victims of five black students at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado Springs in September. Racist slurs written on a student message board triggered a stern response from the superintendent telling bigoted cadets to “get out.” That speech went viral on social media and was held up as an example of righteous indignation against the new racism of “Donald Trump’s America.”

“If you’re outraged by those words, you’re in the right place. That kind of behavior has no place at the prep school, it has no place at USAFA and it has no place in the Air Force. You should be outraged not only as an airman but as a human being,” said a stern-faced Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria as he lectured cadets and staff in a video that garnered more than 1.2 million views on YouTube. He then connected the racial slurs to “the backdrop of what’s going on in our country, things like Charlottesville and Ferguson, and the protests in the NFL.”

Now, more than two months later, the truth comes out. The alleged evil act was a fabrication, a complete hoax, perpetrated by one of the alleged victims, the academy confirmed on Tuesday. (Read more from “Another Hate Crime Reported, Another Fake Story Exposed” HERE)

Comey Softened Language in Hillary Memo Even After CIA Officials Called Her Emails ‘Problematic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

CIA officials described emails found on Hillary Clinton’s private email server as “problematic” and damaging to the agency, according to summaries of interviews they gave to the FBI last May and June.

The timing of the interviews is significant because they are within a 39 day time window in which top FBI officials, including then-director James Comey, edited language in a draft memo of a statement that was to be given at the conclusion of the Clinton email probe.

A May 2, 2016 memo sent by Comey to three top bureau officials referred to Clinton’s use of a private email server to send and receive classified information as “grossly negligent.”

But according to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the memo was changed on or around June 10 to refer to Clinton’s actions as merely “extremely careless.”

The distinction between “grossly negligent” and “extremely careless” is significant because the former is considered a federal crime while the latter term has no legal weight. (Read more from “Comey Softened Language in Hillary Memo Even After CIA Officials Called Her Emails ‘Problematic'” HERE)
