Kidney From Pig ​Transplanted Into Deathly Ill Woman — And Begins Working Almost Immediately

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New Jersey woman is alive and improving after undergoing experimental transplant surgery involving a kidney from a genetically modified pig.

Earlier this month, Lisa Pisano — a 54-year-old grandmother from Cookstown, New Jersey, about 20 miles southeast of Trenton — was practically on death’s doorstep. She was in desperate need of a kidney transplant, but antibodies in her tissues made finding a match nearly impossible.

She was also in heart failure, but because she was on dialysis, doctors hesitated to implant a heart pump known as a left ventricular assist device because of the high mortality rates for dialysis patients undergoing that kind of procedure.

Miserable and seemingly out of options, Pisano suddenly received a message of hope from Dr. Robert Montgomery, the director of NYU Langone Transplant Institute. Montgomery and his team offered to perform two separate procedures that, if successful, would at least buy Pisano some more time with her loved ones. . .

Doctors have dabbled in xenotransplantation — or cross-species organ transplants — for some time, but with little long-term success. Last year, two men received hearts transplanted from pigs at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, but both men died within months. To lessen the chances of organ rejection and improve xenotransplantation possibilities, scientists at United Therapeutics Corp. genetically engineered pigs so that they wouldn’t produce a sugar that the human body does not recognize.

Cheerleader Stripped of Valedictorian Title and Might Lose Scholarship Over ‘Miscalculation’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas high school cheerleader was snubbed for valedictorian honors and could lose her scholarship due to a miscalculation with her GPA.

Maya Veliz, a senior at Blue Ridge High School in northeast Texas, was officially announced as the school’s top student in March. But her triumph was short-lived when she learned mere weeks from graduation that an error involving transfer credits from another school had dropped her GPA ranking to third in the class.

“It had been, like, the one goal I set myself for the beginning of my freshman year, was, I can do this,” the crestfallen teen told WFAA.

Veliz starred on the school’s cheerleading squad and was recognized by the College Board National Hispanic Recognition Program for her academic achievements.

As Veliz progressed toward her dream, administrators allegedly told the student consistently that she was on track to be valedictorian as long as she didn’t fail a class. (Read more from “Cheerleader Stripped of Valedictorian Title and Might Lose Scholarship Over ‘Miscalculation’” HERE)

Protesters Heckle Mike Johnson During Speech at Columbia University (VIDEO)

Students at Columbia University heckled Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) during his speech on Wednesday, addressing the rise of antisemitism on college and university campuses in the past week.

As Johnson began his speech at Columbia University, the crowd could be heard booing.

“We are standing here right now on the steps of the Low Library. In this very building right behind us, Columbia University once awarded Winston Churchill an honorary degree,” Johnson said. “And, it was Churchill who said, ‘It is manifestly right that Jews should have a national home where they may be reunited.’ We believe in that principle. And, today, I’m here to proclaim, to all those who gnash their teeth and demand to wipe the state of Israel off the map and attack our innocent Jewish students, this simple truth: neither Israel nor these Jewish students on this campus will ever stand alone.”

Video footage posted to X showed Columbia University students in the crowd shouting, “Get the f**k off our campus!” as Johnson was speaking.

How the Biden Admin Enables Government Employees to Change Genders

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration has set out to encourage gender transition attempts among federal bureaucrats, establishing gender transition support plans, holding trainings pushing Left-wing gender ideology, and even telling federal employees that referring to someone by biologically accurate pronouns is discrimination.

In a document published by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), effectively the human resources department of the federal government, the Biden administration commanded federal agencies to embed “gender identity inclusion practices” throughout the bureaucracy.

Titled “Guidance Regarding Gender Identity and Inclusion in the Federal Workplace,” the document was published on “transgender day of visibility,” March 31, and it instructs agencies to “take actions to ensure that all Federal employees have their respective gender identities accurately reflected and identified in the workplace.” The document specifically tells the federal bureaucracy to ensure that name and pronoun changes are respected, warning that those who use “incorrect” terms might “contribute to an unlawful hostile work environment.”

It also directs agencies to host gender identity trainings, saying they should “take steps to implement or increase the availability of training programs on gender identity and inclusion in the Federal workplace for employees, managers, and leadership.”

While the OPM document further formalizes the Biden administration’s support of transgenderism, numerous federal agencies have already established policies to encourage transgenderism in the federal workforce. The Department of the Interior (DOI), for example, published a document called “Supporting Gender Transition in the Federal Workplace” that lays out how the federal agency will offer support to bureaucrats who are attempting to change their sex.

Former Obama Administration Official Arrested on Child Sex Offenses Charges

/1 Comment/in , /by

A senior advisor in former President Barack Obama’s administration, Rahamim “Rami” Shy, has been arrested in the UK on charges related to child sex offenses. Shy, who worked closely with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, faces accusations of arranging child sex offenses and possessing indecent images of children. The arrest comes as a shocking development for someone who previously coordinated the U.S. government’s strategy against terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Shy, 46, was arrested by Bedfordshire Police in late February and charged the following day with paying pedophiles to produce child pornography. Court documents reveal that he faces multiple charges, including possession of indecent images of children and possessing a prohibited image of a child. During a recent court appearance at Luton Crown Court, Shy was remanded in custody and is set to face further hearings in June.

Despite his past roles in government, including senior positions at the U.S. Treasury Department and advising on countering terrorist financing, Shy’s current employment was as an executive at Citi banking group.

As the case unfolds, authorities are examining Shy’s background and activities, including his work in advising officials on counter-terrorism measures and providing strategic policy analysis to defense chiefs.

Ron Paul: Final Nail in America’s Coffin?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

When future historians go searching for the final nail in the US coffin, they may well settle on the date April 20, 2024.

On that day Congress passed legislation to fund two and a half wars, hand what’s left of our privacy over to the CIA and NSA, and give the US president the power to shut down whatever part of the Internet he disagrees with.

The nearly $100 billion grossly misnamed “National Security Supplemental” guarantees that Ukrainians will continue to die in that country’s unwinnable war with Russia, that Palestinian civilians will continue to be slaughtered in Gaza with US weapons, and that the neocons will continue to push us toward a war with China. It was a total victory for the war party. . .

Speaker Johnson could not have passed these monstrosities without the full support of House Democrats, as the majority of Republicans voted against more money for Ukraine. So in the worst example of “bipartisanship,” Johnson reached across the aisle, stiffed the Republican majority that elected him Speaker, and pushed through a massive gift to the warfare/(corporate) welfare state. . .

Along with sending $100 billion that we don’t have to fund more overseas war, Speaker Johnson threw in another version of the Tik Tok ban, which gives Joe Biden and future presidents the power to shut down websites at will by simply declaring them to be “foreign adversary controlled.

Not to be outdone, the US Senate on that same day passed the extension of Section 702 of the FISA Act, which not only allowed the government to continue spying on us without a warrant, but also contained new language massively expanding how they can spy on us.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Only 20 percent of eligible voters think that the United States has control of its own borders, a recent poll found, making it the latest survey find Biden underwater on the critical election-year issue.

The poll of 1,500 eligible voters, performed by Redfield and Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek, found that just 20 percent of respondents said that the United States has control over its border, marking a significant decline over the past several months. The number has plummeted since August, when 34% of respondents said that the country had control over its own borders.

When asked “Do you believe the United States has control over its borders?” a full 63 percent said “no,” while another 13 percent said “don’t know.” A plurality of all age groups surveyed in the poll, which was performed on April 11th, agreed that the U.S. does not have control over its borders, including 47 percent of Generation Z, which was defined as those born between 1997 and 2002. A majority of those who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 (53 percent) also said that the U.S. does not have control over its borders.

The survey also asked voters their thoughts on the government’s current handling of illegal immigration, with 52 percent saying that they were either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied, while only 21 percent said that they were satisfied or very satisfied.

Alec Baldwin was caught on camera smacking the phone of an anti-Israel agitator who repeatedly demanded he say “Free Palestine” inside a New York City coffee shop, according to footage posted online Monday night.

The rabble rouser approached the actor while he appeared to be on the phone and at the cash register inside the shop and began to relentlessly harass him, the video shows.

“Alec, can you please say ‘Free Palestine’ one time,” said the protester, who hosts an “anti-fascist” show called Crackhead Barney & Friends.

She continued to accost Baldwin, 66, before he went toward the door inside Maman on University Place and motioned for her to get out, the video shows.

“Free Palestine, Alec, just one time, and I’ll leave you alone,” she said. “I’ll leave you alone, I swear.” (Read more from “WATCH: Alec Baldwin Smacks Phone of Anti-Israel Agitator Who Demanded He Say ‘Free Palestine’ in Coffee Shop” HERE)

Seattle Children’s Hospital Leaves Texas After Investigation Over Gender Transition Medication for Minors: AG

/0 Comments/in , /by

Seattle Children’s Hospital has agreed to stop providing care in Texas after backlash for allegedly helping minors in the Lone Star state receive gender transition medication, The Post has exclusively learned.

The hospital is suspected of providing support for gender transitions to Texas-based patients from its Seattle facility, which writes prescriptions for sex change hormones to their pharmacies in the Lone Star state, according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Paxton says this would violate state law, which prohibits drug and surgical sex changes for kids. However, when his office made enquiries they were rebuffed.

“Seattle Children’s Hospital appeared to break Texas law and initially tried to evade accountability when investigated,” Paxton said in a statement shared with The Post. . .

Seattle Children’s subsequently sued Texas in December arguing the state’s request should either be invalidated or limited, claiming “the Demands represent an unconstitutional attempt to investigate potential interstate commerce and travel for Texas residents to another state.” (Read more from “Seattle Children’s Hospital Leaves Texas After Investigation Over Gender Transition Medication for Minors: AG” HERE)
