/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. A British teenager has been struck with a mystery illness and doctors believe it may be due to malnutrition stemming from years of his devouring the same junk food. . .

The boy had complained of fatigue when he was 14 years old. A doctor at the time advised him about his diet and gave him a B12 vitamin injection.

A year later he began to lose his hearing. He was sent to a specialist.

A year after that he began to lose his eyesight. . .

Doctors observed damage to the boy’s optic nerve, but could not identify a cause. The boy denied that he ingested tobacco, alcohol, or drugs, and then admitted. (Read more from “Teenager Mysteriously Loses Eyesight and Hearing — Doctors Cite a Bizarre Cause” HERE)

Blinded by Junk Food: Teen Loses Eyesight from Yearslong Bad Diet, Report Says

By NBC News. A British teenager who had been a “fussy eater” since elementary school lost his vision and suffered significant hearing loss due to his yearslong diet of junk food, according to a case report published Monday. . .

“However, the patient confessed that, since elementary school, he would not eat certain textures of food,” the authors wrote. “He had a daily portion of fries from the local fish and chip shop and snacked on Pringles, white bread, processed ham slices and sausages.”

Nutritional deficiencies can contribute to vision and hearing problems, but in developed countries, “purely dietary causes” for such vision problems are rare, the authors wrote. In the teen’s case, nutritional deficiencies in several essential vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins and copper, probably played a role in his vision and hearing loss. . .

The doctors also referred the teen to mental health services, concluding that his dietary habits constituted an eating disorder. “‘Fussy eating’ that is restricted to junk foods and causes multiple nutritional deficiencies is an eating disorder,'” the report says.

Latest: Ilhan Omar’s Husband Supposedly Wants a Divorce; REPORT: Ilhan Omar Splits with Her Husband and Moves into Luxury Penthouse as She Heads for SECOND Divorce

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. Ahmed Hirsi, the husband of far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), reportedly wants a divorce after the bombshell “homewrecker” allegations came out against Omar last week in divorce filings.

A source told The New York Post that Hirsi “is poised to file for divorce after the revelation in a bombshell court filing that she allegedly had an affair with DC political consultant Tim Mynett.”

“The Minnesota congresswoman and her husband allegedly separated in March, and Omar asked Hirsi to divorce her around that time because she didn’t want to file the papers — but Hirsi refused, telling her if she wanted a divorce she should do it herself, said the source, who has known both parties for 20 years,” The New York Post reports. “The husband allegedly changed his mind after Tim Mynett’s wife last week filed bombshell divorce papers claiming her spouse was having an affair with the Somali-born US representative — with Hirsi said to be angry he had been made to look the fool by the allegations of an extramarital affair.”

After The New York Post reported the bombshell allegations against Omar last week that were made in court filings, Omar told a local CBS affiliate that she and her husband were still together and refused to answer further questions.

Pastor: Black People Who Vote for Trump Are Mentally Ill

/0 Comments/in , /by

The pastor of a Birmingham, Alabama, church posted a sign out front saying black people who vote for President Donald Trump are mentally ill, and white people who vote for him are racist, according to WVTM-TV.

Pastor Michael Jordan of New Era Baptist Church defended the sign, which read, “A black vote for Trump is mental illness” on one side and “A white vote for Trump is pure racism” on the other.

“God motivates me to take a stand for what’s right,” Jordan told WVTM. “Read the Bible. And look in the White House. If they’re calling me a racist, look in the White House. When you vote for Donald Trump, you are supporting institutionalized racism.”

Jordan already has a reputation as a racially divisive minister. In 2018, Jordan posted a sign that read, “Black folks need to stay out of white churches” on one side and “White folks refused to be our neighbors” on the other. The signs were a response to a megachurch opening a satellite campus in Birmingham to help reduce crime. . .

Jordan’s latest signs could put his church’s tax-exempt status in jeopardy. Churches with tax-exempt status are not to “participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.”

Alyssa Milano Complains About Second Amendment Rights: ‘Which Passage of the Bible’ Says It’s a ‘God-Given Right to Own a Gun?’ Ted Cruz Demolishes Her Argument.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a pointed tweet, [Alyssa] Milano wrote, “Can someone cite which passage of the Bible God states it is a god-given right to own a gun? This guy is unbelievable and is clearly owned by the gun lobby.”

She was responding to a tweet from Rep. Matt Schaefer (R-Texas), who promised that he would not allow the mass killer’s acts put a damper on the Second Amendment rights of Texans. . .

[Ted Cruz] wrote, “An excellent Q, worth considering carefully w/o the snark of Twitter. It is of course not the right to a modern-day firearm that is God-give [sic] but rather the right to Life & the right to Liberty. Essential to that right to life is the right to DEFEND your life & your family.”

The Texas lawmaker continued, “The right to self-defense is recognized repeatedly in the Bible, eg Exodus 22:2: ‘If a thief is caught breaking in at night & is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed.’ (Note, though, verse 3 says it IS murder if during daylight (ie, not self-defense).” . . .

“The Declaration of Independence acknowledges our rights thusly: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,'” he quoted. “And, for that reason, the Second Amendment provides ‘the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT be infringed.’ It wasn’t to protect people’s ability to hunt, or to shoot target practice, but to defend their lives, their homes & their families.” (Read more from “Alyssa Milano Complains About Second Amendment Rights: ‘Which Passage of the Bible’ Says It’s a ‘God-Given Right to Own a Gun?’ Ted Cruz Demolishes Her Argument.” HERE)

Leftist Writer: Stop Wearing Red Hats Because They Trigger Me

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter is the place to drop an A-bomb like this. If this is serious, then this person needs help. If she wanted to get ratioed, mocked, and create a ruckus, then she certainly succeeded. Apparently, wearing red baseball caps is a triggering experience for Rebecca Makkai and she warned that it scares other people. Even baseball caps that aren’t political are not worth wearing because they trigger liberal America. I mean this is just weakness.

Student Investigated After Posting 4-Year-Old Photo of Him at Shooting Range

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. A student in the Iola, Texas, Independent School District (ISD) was searched after he posted a 4-year-old photo of himself shooting a handgun with an adult present.

The male student had posted the photo on Facebook and the caption included the word “school,” so two other students reported the photo. The student who posted the photo was questioned and searched. . .

Even though the student was found not to be a threat, the photo was non-threatening, and no threat against the school was mentioned, he will still be “disciplined according to district policy,” KBTX reported. The outlet reported that the “County Attorney is also reviewing the case” but that no charges have been filed at this time.

Just last week, another high school student was punished because he went to a shooting range with his mother and posted a video on Snapchat of the guns they would be shooting. He captioned the video “Finna be lit,” which someone mistook as a threat.

The student, Nathan Myers, is barred from classes until an investigation is completed. The Daily Wire previously reported that Myers explained to investigators that his caption was simply slang meaning he was “excited” about going to the range. Myers hadn’t seen his mother in weeks because his parents are separated. (Read more from “Student Investigated After Posting 4-Year-Old Photo of Him at Shooting Range” HERE)

Student Searched for Gun After Old Photo Posted on Social Media

By KBTX-TV. ola ISD is working to put parents at ease after a student’s Facebook post sparked an investigation on the second day of school. The district and law enforcement said there is no threat.

Last week a student made a comment about his school with an older photo of him with a handgun. Investigators say on August 22, an old picture of a male student was posted on social media from when he was 9-years-old. The photo that was taken years ago showed the child and an adult shooting in the country with the child holding a pistol. The Facebook post also mentioned the school with the photo.

“It was a young student, had a handgun in the picture and part of the wording on the picture it had the word “school” in it. So we take that stuff very seriously here. As we investigated we found out the picture was a four-year-old picture,” said Scott Martindale, Iola ISD Superintendent.

“The picture had a caption that mentioned school. It did not threaten the school whatsoever it just mentioned the school,” he explained. . .

“I believe they took the correct action to protect our children,” said Danny Lemley, who has two children in the district. (Read more from “Student Searched for Gun After Old Photo Posted on Social Media” HERE)

Former Planned Parenthood ‘Educator’: Planned Parenthood ‘Grooms’ Young Girls for Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former sex educator Monica Cline said Planned Parenthood pushes sex education that “grooms” children for promiscuity and leads to abortion. . .

“We have to approach this and look at your audience and realize that they’ve probably done anything and everything related to sex,” the Planned Parenthood Director of Prevention Education told Cline at the beginning of her instruction. Cline has asked that the director, who has passed away, remain anonymous out of respect for the director’s family. . .

The director showed Cline several Planned Parenthood case studies that showed girls as young as 10 years old coming to Planned Parenthood for help with injuries, the removal of foreign objects and abortions. The studies convinced Cline that something must be done to help these young women. . .

Planned Parenthood’s sex education grooms students for promiscuity, Cline believes, and this promiscuity leads them to abortion. “The sex education grooms them for promiscuity. Grooms them for STD treatment, and grooms them for abortion,” she said. . .

“Teens are being given false ideas that condoms will cover all the bases,” Cline added. “They do tell them to get tested and treated – which means coming back to the clinic – and if they are pregnant they are encouraged to get an abortion.” (Read more from “Former Planned Parenthood ‘Educator’: Planned Parenthood ‘Grooms’ Young Girls for Abortions” HERE)

California Court Overturns Gun Conviction Against Illegal Alien in Kate Steinle Murder

/0 Comments/in , /by

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that a California Appeals court has overturned the gun conviction against the illegal immigrant who killed the young American woman, Kate Steinle, in 2015. Jose Inez Garcia Zarate had already been acquitted of murder charges in 2017 related to the case after the court ruled his actions as an accident.

Zarate has been previously deported five times and was in the country illegally at the time of the incident. On Friday, the “1st District Court of Appeals…overturned a gun conviction against Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate because the judge failed to instruct the jury on one of his defenses.” . . .

Instead, it looks like justice for Steinle will go unanswered. (Read more from “California Court Overturns Gun Conviction Against Illegal Alien in Kate Steinle Murder” HERE)

Study Proves: There Is No ‘Gay Gene’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Recent polls have shown that most Americans believe that homosexuals are “born that way” rather than become gay as the result of environmental factors. In fact, perpetuating the belief that sexual orientation is innate has been crucial to the gay rights movement. According to the most recent Gallup Poll on the subject, 88 percent of people who believe homosexuals are “born that way” support the legality of same-sex marriage, while only 39 percent of those who believe homosexuality is the result of environmental factors support the legality of same-sex marriage.

So, what happens when science proves that homosexuals aren’t “born that way”? Perhaps we’ll find out. A new comprehensive scientific study of the biological roots of sexual orientation released Thursday proved that there no “gay gene” and that genetic factors are insignificant in determining sexual orientation.

The research, which analyzed data on DNA and sexual experiences from almost half a million people, found there are thousands of genetic variants linked to same-sex sexual behavior, most with very small effects. . .

“We scanned the entire human genome and found a handful – five to be precise – of locations that are clearly associated with whether a person reports in engaging in same-sex sexual behavior,” said Andrea Ganna, a biologist at the Institute of Molecular Medicine in Finland who co-led the research.

According to Ganna, these genetic variances have “a very small effect” on sexual behavior, and combined, only explain “considerably less than 1% of the variance in the self-reported same-sex sexual behavior.” This means that non-genetic factors, including environment, upbringing, personality, and nurture “are far more significant in influencing a person’s choice of sexual partner, just as with most other personality, behavioral and physical human traits,” according to the researchers.
