Woman Graphically Describes Holding Her Chemically Aborted Baby on Bloody Bathroom Floor

/0 Comments/in , /by

A woman who considers herself the victim of a chemical abortion says she “was not prepared for how severe and devastating” the abortion-inducing drugs she took would be.

In an interview with The Daily Signal, Elizabeth Gillette said she took prescribed drugs in 2010 to abort her unborn baby.

She now deeply regrets the abortion, Gillette said.

In graphic terms, Gillette described her experience 14 years ago to Daily Signal reporter Mary Margaret Olohan outside the Supreme Court Building as the nine justices heard oral arguments Tuesday in two cases centered on abortion-inducing pills such as mifepristone and misoprostol.

“I found myself on the bathroom floor, covered in a pool of blood, wondering if I was going to survive the procedure, completely alone,” Gillette said.

Army Faces Fourth Apache Helicopter Incident Since January

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two soldiers sustained injuries in the latest Apache helicopter crash at Fort Carson in Colorado on Wednesday evening, adding to a string of recent incidents involving the aircraft. This marks the fourth such incident within a short span of two months, raising concerns about the safety of Army aviation operations.

According to officials at Fort Carson, the AH-64 Apache helicopter, belonging to the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, went down during routine training in a southern area of the base at approximately 6:30 p.m. Both pilots aboard the aircraft were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital and subsequently released.

Following the crash, base command decided to ground all of its aviation assets until further notice. Investigators from the Army Combat Readiness Center, based at Fort Novosel, Alabama, have been tasked with probing the incident to determine its cause.

The Army National Guard has also experienced Apache helicopter accidents in recent weeks, with back-to-back crashes occurring on February 12 and February 23. Tragically, the latter incident resulted in the loss of two pilots’ lives.

In response to the incidents within the National Guard, the organization’s top officer ordered an indefinite aviation safety stand-down across all helicopter units, spanning the National Guard’s 54 states and jurisdictions. This measure aims to thoroughly review safety protocols and procedures to prevent future mishaps.

As investigations into these incidents continue, questions persist regarding the safety and operational protocols surrounding Army aviation assets.

Numerous Celebrities Expected To Be Questioned As Feds Prepare To Subpoena Diddy’s Flight Manifests: REPORT

/0 Comments/in , /by

High profile celebrities are likely to be questioned as part of Diddy’s sex trafficking probe, as federal agents reportedly prepare to subpoena Diddy’s flight manifests.

Federal law enforcement sources told TMZ that the investigation into the rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs will involve sending subpoenas to charter jet companies and intrerviewing passengers who flew with him on chartered planes, many of whom are expected to be prominent stars.

Those close to the situation said federal agents are likely to demand the flight manifests to establish who was with Diddy on each trip he took, meaning many other stars are likely to play key roles in the probe into Diddy’s lifestyle.

Widening the investigation to include interviews with passengers on Diddy’s plane could enable federal agents to verify claims made by individuals who filed lawsuits against the rapper, according to TMZ.

Trump Calls for Return to ‘Law and Order’ at Wake for Slain NY Police Officer

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump expressed his condolences for the family of a slain police officer and called to restore “law and order” on Thursday.

Trump attended the wake of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller on Thursday and met with people close to the slain police officer, including his widow and 1-year-old son. Diller was killed on Monday during a traffic stop in Far Rockaway, Queens.

“What happened is such a sad, sad event. Such a horrible thing, and it’s happening all too often and we’re just not going to let it happen, we just can’t,” Trump said in brief remarks at the funeral. “But the Diller family will, you’ll never be the same, you can never be the same, but we have to stop it, we have to stop it. We have to get back to law and order. We have to do a lot of things differently because this is not working. This is happening too often.”

Trump noted that the Queens man accused of murdering Diller, 34-year-old Guy Rivera, had a lengthy history of run-ins with the police before Monday’s fatal shooting. Rivera had at least 21 prior arrests. Rivera has been charged with first degree murder and attempted murder related to Monday’s shooting.

Tragedy: 45 Dead After Bus Crashes off Cliff En Route to Easter Church Service

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Forty-five Christians are dead and a young girl seriously injured after a bus crashed off a cliff in South Africa en route to an Easter church service.

The bus crash reportedly took place in Limpopo, the northernmost province of South Africa, and occurred after the vehicle veered off a cliff and burst into flames upon hitting the ground. According to various reports, the lone survivor of the accident was an 8-year-old girl who was now receiving medical attention at a nearby hospital.

The group was reportedly from Botswana and headed to Moria, South Africa, for Easter church services as Christians around the world prepare to commemorate the resurrection.

“I am sending my heartfelt condolences to the families affected by the tragic bus crash near Mamatlakala,” said South African Minister of Transport Sindisiwe Chikunga. “Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We continue to urge responsible driving at all times with heightened alertness as more people are on our roads this Easter weekend.” (Read more from “Tragedy: 45 Dead After Bus Crashes off Cliff En Route to Easter Church Service” HERE)

Buttigieg Mess: Transportation Dept Will Not Say How Many National Defense Ships Stuck in Harbor

/0 Comments/in , /by

After an initial strong public response from President Biden vowing the federal government would do whatever it took to fix the situation, his administration is showing early signs it is bungling the response to the collapsed bridge in Baltimore.

Questions abound — such as exactly how many ships are stuck in the harbor, but the administration has been unable to provide fast or forthcoming answers.

Breitbart News has asked the Department of Transportation for answers regarding the country’s National Defense Reserve Fleet — a fleet of ships that could be used to support the military during war or emergencies, but the agency has been unable to respond.

According to another inventory list maintained by the DOT, as of January 31, 2024, there are 90 ships that are part of the National Defense Reserve Fleet, with 53 of those part of the Ready Reserve Force (RRF). RRF ships are Maritime Administration vessels assigned to the RRF to support Pentagon surge sealift requirements.

Six of those RRF ships — all roll-on/roll-off cargo ships — are assigned to Baltimore, according to the list. Those include the SS Antares, the MV Cape Washington, the MV Cape Wrath, the MV Charles L. Gilliland, the SS Denebola, and the MV Gary I. Gordon.

‘I Could Kill Someone’: Most U.S. Troops Aren’t Getting Enough Sleep, Report Warns

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most U.S. troops need more sleep.

That’s the big-picture takeaway from a sweeping Government Accountability Office study that found a sizable majority of service members get six hours or less of sleep each night. The Defense Department recommends a minimum of seven hours.

The consequences could reach far beyond sluggishness or crankiness.

“When service members don’t get enough sleep, it can affect their performance. Fatigue has led to fatal accidents and hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to ships, vehicles, and aircraft,” says a part of the study, made public on Tuesday.

A remotely piloted aircraft operator told the GAO that they “almost collided with another aircraft due to mental fatigue,” and an aviation maintainer said sleep deprivation means a “greater possibility of mistakes.” (Read more from “‘I Could Kill Someone’: Most U.S. Troops Aren’t Getting Enough Sleep, Report Warns” HERE)

New Estimate Says U.S. Now Has 13.7 Million Illegal Aliens, up 37% Under Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s wave of illegal immigrants is upending the usual demographics of immigration and sending education levels plummeting, according to a report Thursday that raised big questions about the nation’s ability to absorb the newcomers.

The U.S. now has 13.7 million illegal immigrants and 51.4 million immigrants overall — an increase of 6.4 million in three years since Mr. Biden took office, the Center for Immigration Studies reported. That averages 172,000 new immigrants each month, or roughly four times the rate in the Trump years and nearly three times the rate in the Obama years.

Most of the new arrivals are from Latin America, and 3.7 million of the net new arrivals came illegally. Some 44% have no education beyond high school, and a significant number haven’t even completed high school.

“Education is the single best predictor of how you’re going to do in the United States. What kind of job you’re going to do. How much you’re going to make. What fraction are going to be in or near poverty. What fraction are going to qualify for welfare programs — particularly their children,” said Steven A. Camarota, the study’s lead author.

As recently as 2018, 55% of immigrants had a bachelor’s degree. That has dipped to just 41%. Meanwhile, the share who haven’t made it past high school has risen from 29% to 44%, Mr. Camarota figures. Those changes challenge a chief selling point for supporters of high immigration rates. (Read more from “New Estimate Says U.S. Now Has 13.7 Million Illegal Aliens, up 37% Under Biden” HERE)

Ukraine Loses Patience: Give Us the Damn Weapons

/12 Comments/in , , /by

The West should hurry up and hand over the “damn” missiles Ukraine demands, their foreign secretary says, remarking: “We need air-defence systems on the frontlines”.

An essential role of the Ukrainian state since even before Russia’s re-invasion in 2022 has been cajoling and even begging the West for more military equipment, but these calls have occasionally tripped into a more demanding mien. That time has rolled around again with one of the nation’s top politicians making strident demands to help stop the bombs falling.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, perhaps the final remaining senior member of Volodymyr Zelensky’s government to regularly wear a suit and tie rather than the near-ubiquitous olive green in public, said in quotes distributed by Ukrainian state media: “Give us the damn Patriots.”

The remarks came in an interview with Politico, and Kuleba explained his demand, speaking of new Russian weapons that were harder to intercept. The answer, he said, was to deploy more advanced air-defence weapons on Ukraine’s frontiers to shoot down the aircraft dropping the bombs, rather than the weapons themselves.

He said: “…If we had enough air defence systems, namely Patriots, we would be able to protect not only the lives of our people, but also our economy from destruction… You cannot jam [the new bombs]. It just falls on your head and destroys everything… We need air-defence systems on the frontlines”. (Read more from “Ukraine Loses Patience: Give Us the Damn Weapons” HERE)

Disney Caves in High-Stakes Lawsuit Against Ron DeSantis

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disney on Wednesday capitulated in its long-running legal battle against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — handing a victory to the Republican in the high-stakes fight over a $17 billion planned development at the company’s theme park near Orlando.

The Mouse House agreed to a settlement that gives up its self-governing powers over the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which was dissolved by DeSantis in 2022 after the company opposed his “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Disney had controlled the special tax district for decades.

As part of the deal, Bob Iger’s Disney also agreed to drop a lawsuit over access to public records and defer briefings in a federal lawsuit it filed against DeSantis as the two sides try to reach a consensus on a new development agreement for Walt Disney World, among other matters.

“This agreement opens a new chapter of constructive engagement with the new leadership of the district,” Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle said.

DeSantis took a victory lap after the stunning turn of events, saying his administration was “vindicated” by the settlement with one of Florida’s biggest employers following the two-year feud. (Read more from “Disney Caves in High-Stakes Lawsuit Against Ron DeSantis” HERE)
