Father’s Eerie Last Message to Wife Revealed Before Mountain Tragedy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Minnesota hiker was found deceased in Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains nearly a month after he sent a final text message to his wife and was not heard from again, authorities said Thursday.

The body of Grant Gardner, 38, was found underneath a ledge near the summit of the 13,000-foot Cloud Peak by a professional climbing team from North Carolina, the Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

“While it’s not the outcome we hoped for, we are hopeful this will provide much needed peace and closure to the family,” the sheriff’s office said.

Gardner went missing on July 29 in the Cloud Peak Wilderness, where he had planned a three-day hike through the Misty Moon Lake area before eventually summiting Cloud Peak.

Phone records showed Gardner’s last known contact was a message to his wife on that day, “letting her know he’d made it to the summit,” the sheriff’s office has said. Authorities said the text indicated “the climb was more taxing than he expected and he was tired.” (Read more from “Father’s Eerie Last Message to Wife Revealed Before Mountain Tragedy” HERE)

/7 Comments/in , , /by

A 22-year-old law graduate recently died after suffering a rare but catastrophic allergic reaction during a routine CT scan, shining a spotlight on the risks of a procedure millions undergo every year.

Letícia Paul, who had recently earned her law degree and was pursuing postgraduate studies in real estate and business law, went into anaphylactic shock moments after receiving an iodinated contrast dye, Jam Press reported.

The incident occurred at Hospital Regional Alto Vale in Rio do Sul, in Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Doctors intubated the young woman and placed her under intensive care, but she died on Aug. 20, less than 24 hours later.

Paul had originally visited the hospital for a scan linked to her history of kidney stones. (Read more from “Young Woman’s Life Cut Short After Hospital Visit for Routine Procedure” HERE)

Kirk Cameron Warns Taylor Swift ‘Mocks God,’ ‘Celebrates Explicit Sin’ in Her Music

/7 Comments/in , /by

Kirk Cameron recently sounded the alarm over Taylor Swift’s cultural influence, warning that the pop star “mocks God, normalizes sin” and “glorifies lust and rebellion” in her wildly popular music.

In a recent Instagram post, the 54-year-old father of six, known for his roles in “Growing Pains” and recent faith-based projects, said Swift’s latest work amounts to “discipleship” for young people.

“What do you get when a billionaire pop star releases an album with provocative artwork, lyrics that mock God, glorify rebellion and celebrate explicit sin? You get the most powerful sermon that America’s youth will hear this year,” Cameron said. “She mocks God in her lyrics. She normalizes sin, she glorifies lust and rebellion as if this was womanly empowerment. Her songs are not just music. This is discipleship.”

Cameron added that Swift’s influence over fans, many of whom are teenagers, can unfortunately serve as a substitute for parental guidance.

“She doesn’t have any kids of her own, but raising kids is hard. Why get into all that when she can just disciple your kids and train them up in the way that she would like for them to go?” he said.

Shooter’s Mother Reportedly Worked at Catholic School Targeted in Attack

/1 Comment/in , /by

The mother of the man who carried out a mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school reportedly worked at the institution where the attack occurred, according to law enforcement sources cited by 11Alive.

Authorities identified the gunman as Robin Westman, who opened fire Wednesday morning at Annunciation Catholic School during a Mass service attended by students. Police said Westman killed two children, ages 8 and 10, and injured 17 others, including 14 children, before fatally shooting himself.

During a press conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the victims were shot while seated in the pews. Witnesses described a man dressed in black carrying multiple firearms at the scene. Police confirmed Westman had a rifle, shotgun, and pistol.

A now-deleted YouTube channel bearing Westman’s name appeared to display a cache of weapons alongside anti-Christian messages, racial slurs, and other writings.

Authorities have not released details on the mother’s role at the school or whether it factored into the motive. The investigation remains active with assistance from federal law enforcement.

Study Links Abortion to Higher Risk of Psychiatric Hospitalization

/13 Comments/in , /by

A recent study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research has found that women who undergo induced abortion face more than twice the risk of psychiatric hospitalization compared to women who give birth.

The study, conducted in Quebec, Canada, analyzed more than 1.2 million pregnancies over a period of up to 17 years. Researchers reported that, per 10,000 person-years, 104 women who had abortions were hospitalized for mental health issues—including psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and suicide attempts—compared to 42 women who gave birth.

The data also showed that women who had multiple abortions were at greater risk of hospitalization than those experiencing their first abortion. The likelihood of psychiatric hospitalization was highest within the first five years following an abortion. Researchers noted that women with preexisting mental health conditions were more vulnerable, and the study adjusted its findings to account for this factor.

The Quebec study is not the first to suggest a connection between abortion and subsequent mental health challenges. A 2023 study using Medicaid data similarly reported that women who had a first-pregnancy abortion were at higher risk of needing mental health treatment, particularly inpatient care, than those who carried to term.

Separate research has also highlighted medical risks associated with abortion procedures. Reports indicate that more than 10 percent of women who take the chemical abortion drug mifepristone experience serious adverse events, such as hemorrhaging or sepsis. Pro-life groups and some medical organizations have argued that the risks of mifepristone are underreported by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the drug’s manufacturer, Danco Laboratories.

Costco Stands Firm Against Abortion Pill Sales

/1 Comment/in , /by

In an era when corporate America often bows to the loudest voices on the Left, Costco has taken a stand that deserves recognition. The retail giant has confirmed it will not dispense the abortion pill mifepristone at its 500-plus pharmacy locations.

This decision didn’t come in a vacuum. Faith-based activists, including Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and Inspire Investing, pressed Costco to resist the cultural push to normalize abortion-on-demand through retail pharmacies. And Costco listened — or at the very least, refused to cave to activist pressure from the other side. That in itself is a win.

ADF’s Michael Ross called it “a very significant victory,” and he’s right. At a time when CVS and Walgreens are moving forward with dispensing abortion drugs, Costco has demonstrated that it will not be swayed into turning its pharmacies into abortion providers. The message is clear: not every corporation has to follow the radical Left’s playbook.

Critics claim this is “short-sighted” and that Costco is undermining “access to safe and FDA-approved medication.” But let’s be honest — this isn’t about access. Abortion pills are already widely available online and by mail. This is about pressuring every major American corporation to carry the water for the abortion industry, no matter the moral or societal cost. Costco has simply said no.

For conservatives, Costco’s decision is not just a victory — it’s momentum. The coalition of pro-life advocates is already turning its attention to Walgreens, CVS, and even Amazon, urging them not to participate in the sale of mifepristone. Every small stand matters, because it reminds corporate America that millions of consumers still believe in the sanctity of life.

Costco has proven that it’s possible to thrive without bowing to the abortion lobby. Let’s hope other retailers take note — and follow suit.

Bryan Kohberger’s Disturbing Porn Searches Ahead of Gruesome Idaho Student Murders Revealed: Report

/4 Comments/in , /by

Twisted murderer Bryan Kohberger made disturbing internet searches for women being raped and sexually assaulted while asleep, according to digital forensics experts who were due to testify at his trial.

Kohberger’s search history included terms like “raped,” “forced,” “sleeping,” “passed out” and “voyeur,” according to Heather and Jared Barnhart, who were hired in 2023 to help investigate the psychopath who broke into an off-campus university house in the middle of the night and slaughtered four students.

“The easiest way to say it is that all of his terms were consistently around nonconsensual sex acts,” Jared Barnhart told The Daily Mail.

Although Kohberger did not sexually assault any of the victims, the father of one of those killed, Kayla Goncalves, believes the killings were motivated by Kohberger’s “weird sexual fetishes.” Others have speculated that his sick plans were forced to change when he was unexpectedly confronted.

Kohberger cowardly refused to reveal his plans or motives when he unexpectedly admitted the slayings. (Read more from “Bryan Kohberger’s Disturbing Porn Searches Ahead of Gruesome Idaho Student Murders Revealed: Report” HERE)

Melania Trump Threatens $1B Lawsuit Against Hunter Biden Over Epstein Claim

/0 Comments/in , /by

First Lady Melania Trump has threatened legal action against Hunter Biden, demanding he retract comments linking her introduction to former President Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein.

In an Aug. 6 demand letter obtained by Fox News, Melania’s attorney, Alejandro Brito, accused Biden of making “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory” statements during a recent appearance on the YouTube program Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan. Brito said the remarks caused “overwhelming financial and reputational harm” and warned that failure to retract them could lead to a lawsuit seeking more than $1 billion in damages.

According to Brito, Biden claimed in the interview that Epstein introduced Melania to Donald Trump, citing allegations from author Michael Wolff. The attorney described Wolff as a “serial fabulist” and asserted the claim was untrue. Biden also commented on “connections” between figures in Epstein’s network, which Brito characterized as baseless.

The letter was sent to both Biden and his attorney, Abbe Lowell, and calls for an immediate public retraction.

Pentagon Reports Increase in Female Military Recruits Across All Branches

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon says female enlistment numbers have risen in every branch of the U.S. armed forces during Fiscal Year 2025, countering claims that recruitment among women has declined.

According to Pentagon data, 23,985 women have enlisted so far this fiscal year, compared to 16,725 at the same point last year — an increase of about 7,260 recruits. Female recruitment is rising alongside overall enlistment, with the U.S. Army surpassing its annual goal in June, four months ahead of schedule.

The upward trend follows record-low recruitment in 2022. Officials say numbers began to improve in 2024, with the armed forces bringing in 12.5% more personnel than the previous year.

Defense officials attribute the increase to a variety of factors, including leadership and a focus on core military readiness. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has previously stated that the department’s current emphasis is on “war fighting” and mission preparedness.

Members of Congress with military backgrounds have also noted the trend. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), an Air Force veteran, said she believes the current administration’s priorities have played a role in renewed interest among both women and men in joining the military.

The Pentagon has not released projections for whether the momentum in female enlistment will continue through the end of the fiscal year.

Children’s Hospital Fires 15 Nurses After 12-Year-Old Patient’s Suicide

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A children’s hospital has terminated the employment of fifteen nurses and disciplined another following the tragic suicide of a 12-year-old patient who slipped out of her room and died after jumping from a hospital parking garage.

The patient, Sarah Niyimbona, described by family as a caring and outspoken middle schooler, died on April 13. She had been admitted multiple times in 2024 for suicide attempts. Despite her history of self-harm, safety measures such as a round-the-clock sitter, video monitoring, and door alarms were reportedly removed prior to the incident, according to a family lawsuit cited by Investigate West.

Sarah’s mother, Nasra Gertrude, expressed deep frustration and sorrow over the hospital’s failure to adequately supervise her daughter. “I ask what happened. How come she left the room without anybody seeing her? How come she walked all the way to the elevator without anybody seeing her?” Gertrude said. “They haven’t given me any answer at all. I trusted this hospital to take care of my daughter.”

Hospital officials have stated that the nurse terminations relate to unauthorized access of the patient’s medical records, a potential violation of the federal HIPAA privacy law. However, the nurses’ union, representing the affected staff, has accused the hospital of retaliating against employees who spoke to the media following the suicide. The union has filed a grievance, which could take considerable time to resolve.

Providence Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital said in a statement that it conducted an internal review after the incident and has since introduced new safety protocols, including suicide risk screening for all patients and enhanced procedures for locating missing patients.

A state Department of Health investigation into the circumstances surrounding Sarah Niyimbona’s death remains ongoing.
