Biden Slammed by Democrats and Republicans Over Response to Israeli Airstrike That Killed 7 Aid Workers in Gaza

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Biden has received criticism from Democrats and Republicans this week over his response to an Israeli airstrike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza on Monday.

On Tuesday, Biden, 81, said he was “outraged and heartbroken” over the deaths of the aid workers delivering food to Gaza’s population, but didn’t signal any change in approach to his administration’s backing of Israel in its war against Hamas.

The president, in his public statement, pinned the blame squarely on Israel, demanding an investigation that “must bring accountability” and accusing the Jewish state of not having “done enough to protect aid workers” in the Palestinian territory.

Privately, Politico reports, Biden is “enraged” over the airstrike and was “angry” when he was notified that the Israel Defense Forces mistakenly targeted members of celebrity chef Jose Andres’ humanitarian group.

Jon Favreau, a one time speechwriter for former President Barack Obama and the host of “Pod Save America,” slammed Biden over the report, arguing that private expressions of rage are not enough in the aftermath of Monday’s tragedy.

Did Trump Just Secure This State Ahead of the 2024 Election?

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s border crisis is costing him voters, resulting in his 2024 re-election chances going down the drain.

On the other hand, Biden’s border crisis is looking to be good news for former President Trump’s 2024 aspirations.

Strategic National CEO John Yob predicted that recent murders in Michigan committed by illegal immigrants will drive the state’s voters to cast their ballot for Trump.

In an op-ed published this week, Yob wrote that Michigander’s mounting concerns over safety put voters “more firmly in President Trump’s corner,” as illegal immigrant crime continues to threaten the country.

“The immigration issue hitting home in West Michigan is going to fundamentally change the outlook of the 2024 election,” Yob wrote, adding that the trend will likely impact other states nationwide as well. (Read more from “Did Trump Just Secure This State Ahead of the 2024 Election?” HERE)

Concerns About ‘Structural Racism’ Prompt Major Hospital Network to Change Policies About Babies Born Addicted to Drugs

/1 Comment/in , /by

A major hospital network in Massachusetts has now revamped its policies regarding babies born addicted to drugs in an attempt to address “significant racial and ethnic inequities” it claims are associated with substance abuse disorder.

On Tuesday, Mass General Brigham, the commonwealth’s largest hospital group, announced that it will no longer automatically report that an infant has been born with drug addiction since the automatic reporting and other such policies “disproportionately affect Black individuals.”

Current commonwealth law demands mandatory reporting of all infants with “physical dependence upon an addictive drug at birth.” However, the hospitals affiliated with Mass General Brigham — including Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and Salem Hospital — will now encourage reporting such cases to child protective services only if the babies are “suffering or at imminent risk of suffering physical or emotional injury.”

Another policy change at Mass General Brigham means that medical professionals will now conduct toxicology tests on newborns and/or “pregnant people” — sometimes referred to as women — only under two conditions. First, hospital workers must be given written consent to perform the tests. Second, they will perform the tests only if the results will affect the medical treatment the mother and/or child receives. . .

“Our new perinatal testing and reporting policy is the latest step in our efforts to address longstanding inequities in substance use disorder care and to provide compassionate, evidence-based support to families, while addressing substance use disorder as a treatable health condition,” said Sarah Wakeman, M.D., senior medical director for Substance Use Disorder at Mass General Brigham.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The family of an 11-year-old boy is filing a lawsuit against a Hindu temple in Texas after they say he was left disfigured from being branded with a hot iron in a religious ceremony.

Vijay Cheruvu said his son suffers from extreme pain and permanent disfigurement over the branding he received without the father’s notification or approval.

“I was shocked. I didn’t know how to handle it. My primary concern is for my son’s well-being,” Cheruvu said to KHOU-TV.

The lawsuit claims that over a 100 participated in the ceremony at the Ashtalakshmi Temple off Synott Road in Sugar Land in August. Three of those participants were children, including Cheruvu’s son.

He said his son was branded in two spots on his shoulder in the shape of a Hindu god named Vishnu. (Read more from “Father Says 11-Year-Old Son Was Branded With Hot Iron in Religious Ceremony at Hindu Temple Without His Approval” HERE)

Medical Students Ordered to Bow to ‘Mama Earth’ (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

First-year medical students at the University of California Los Angeles have been ordered into a mandatory “structural racism” indoctrination with a guest speaker who has praised Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorism in Israel and demanded they bow down to “mama earth.” . . .

Attendees were ordered to “get on their knees and touch the floor – ‘mama earth,'” the report said.

The activist had been invited to speaking about housing and the “justice” issues involved, and she thanked “tribes” for “what the settlers call L.A.,” the report explained.

She also addressed the needs of “black,” “brown” and even “houseless” people.

“Mama earth,” Gray Garcia told the kneeling students, “was never meant to be bought, sold, pimped, or played.” (Read more from “Medical Students Ordered to Bow to ‘Mama Earth'” HERE)

Dems Spread Hoax That Trump Called Immigrants ‘Animals’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most people, if not all, could see it as reasonable to describe someone who barbarically attacks and murders a college coed as an animal, and that’s what President Trump has done.

However, by the time the campaign of Democrat Joe Biden got through editing a clip of Trump, they had him calling “immigrants” “animals.”

The situation developed after Trump spoke at a Michigan rally Tuesday, promising to ensure justice for the “animal” that killed Riley, a suspect who is an illegal alien. . .

“The Biden campaign cut up the clip, out of context, and spread it across social media with a caption quoting the former president, saying ‘Trump: Democrats said please don’t call immigrants animals. I said, no, they’re not humans, they’re animals.'”

Alarming Warning on the Threat of a New Pandemic — What You Need to Know

/2 Comments/in , /by

As avian influenza (bird flu) continues to spread among wild birds in the European Union, officials are warning of the potential for a future human pandemic.

On Wednesday, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued an alert noting that “transmission between bird and mammal species has been observed, particularly in fur animal farms, where outbreaks have been reported.”

Although it is rare for infected birds to pass along the virus to humans, the agency warned that new strains could pose a danger in the future.

“These viruses continue to evolve globally, and with the migration of wild birds, new strains carrying potential mutations for mammalian adaptation could be selected,” the alert stated.

“If avian A (H5N1) influenza viruses acquire the ability to spread efficiently among humans, large‐scale transmission could occur due to the lack of immune defenses against H5 viruses in humans.” (Read more from “Alarming Warning on the Threat of a New Pandemic — What You Need to Know” HERE)

One of Oldest Christian Liturgical Books Expected to Bring in More Than $2.6M

/1 Comment/in , /by

One of the oldest Christian liturgical books is expected to sell for more than $2.6 million at an auction in London.

The Crosby-Schøyen Codex was written on Egyptian papyrus from around 250-350 A.D., and produced in one of the first monasteries.

“It’s right at that period, that transitional period, when papyrus scroll starts turning into codex form,” Eugenio Donadoni, Christie’s Senior Specialist, Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts, told Reuters. “So, books as we know them today. And what we have in this book is the earliest known texts of two books of the Bible.”

According to auction house, Christie’s New York, the book is expected to fetch between $2.6 million to $3.8 million.

One scribe wrote 104 pages, with 52 leaves, over a period of 40 years. (Read more from “One of Oldest Christian Liturgical Books Expected to Bring in More Than $2.6M” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

The largest producer of fresh eggs in the U.S. said Tuesday it had temporarily halted production at a Texas plant after bird flu was found in chickens, and officials said the virus had also been detected at a poultry facility in Michigan.

Ridgeland, Mississippi-based Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. said in a statement that approximately 1.6 million laying hens and 337,000 pullets, about 3.6% of its total flock, were destroyed after the infection, avian influenza, was found at a facility in Parmer County, Texas.

The plant is on the Texas-New Mexico border in the Texas Panhandle about 85 miles (137 kilometers) southwest of Amarillo and about 370 miles (595 kilometers) northwest of Dallas. Cal-Maine said it sells most of its eggs in the Southwestern, Southeastern, Midwestern and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.

“The Company continues to work closely with federal, state and local government officials and focused industry groups to mitigate the risk of future outbreaks and effectively manage the response,” the statement said.
