Why Did NBC Censor an NFL Player Holding up Christian Jewelry?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Saturday night’s NFL playoff game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Los Angeles Chargers was one for the ages. The Jaguars completed one of the biggest comebacks in NFL history, overcoming a 27-0 deficit and winning the game on a last-second field goal by kicker Riley Patterson.

Jaguars kicker Riley Patterson held up his cross necklace for the camera after kicking the game winner.

Before the kick, Patterson pulled out a cross he was wearing around his neck and kissed it. After his game-winning boot, while celebrating, Patterson held up the cross in what appeared to be his way of giving thanks to God. Yet, as soon as he did this, NBC purposely seemed to cut away from Patterson holding up the cross.

Based on the sequence of events and the many cameras that refused to show Patterson holding up his cross, this appeared to occur on purpose. It would be a logical conclusion to anyone who watched the kick live. The entire incident was trending on Twitter Saturday night, with many people noticing that NBC cut away from Patterson as soon as he held up his cross.

This was a stark contrast from when network cameras focused intensely on NFL players kneeling for the anthem a few years back. NBC had every opportunity to show Patterson, but each time they tried to cut to him after the kick, he was holding up his cross, and cameras almost immediately cut away before it appeared on television.

Over 5,000 Babies Saved From Abortion in August 2022, State Report Confirms

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new report reveals abortions in Texas plummeted in August 2022, showing 0 legal elective abortions committed and 3 medically necessary abortions legally performed to save the life of the mother. A year ago in the same month, there were 5,706 lives taken by elective abortion.

Texas law allows abortion when the life of a mother is jeopardized by her pregnancy:

“Medical emergency” means a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy that, as certified by a physician, places the woman in danger of death or a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless an abortion is performed.

Advancements in medical technology have greatly reduced the situations where both mother and child are at risk, but in rare and heartbreaking circumstances, a woman’s pregnancy can endanger her life. The death of the child is an indirect result of a life-saving intervention for the mother. We mourn the loss of the three children who tragically could not be saved last year but are grateful the doctors rightly protected the mothers rather than losing both precious lives.

Court Orders Removal of Virgin Mary Statue

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A French court ordered on Friday the removal of a statue of the Virgin Mary from a small town on the grounds that its display violates the separation of church and state.

The court’s order ended four decades of the statue’s display at a crossroads in La Flotte, France, a town of about 2,800 people, according to Agence France Presse (AFP). A local family originally erected the statue after World War II in gratitude for a father and son’s safe return from the war, the outlet reported. A private garden first housed the statue, until the family gifted it to the town and saw its placement at the crossroads in 1983.

The statue sustained damage after it was struck by a passing car in 2020, the outlet noted. Its restoration included the addition of a platform, a move which drew the attention of of an organization that advocates for the defense of secularity. La Libre Pensee 17 filed a complaint, citing a 1905 French law that forbids the display of religious monuments in public places. (Read more from “Court Orders Removal of Virgin Mary Statue” HERE)

Taking Someone Under 19 to a Drag Show Would Be a Misdemeanor Under Proposed Bill

/4 Comments/in , /by

Multiple Nebraska state GOP lawmakers are backing a measure that would prohibit people younger than 19 from attending drag shows and people younger than 21 from attending such performances at any location where alcohol is served — the measure lays out consequences for businesses and adults who violate the age rules by allowing young people to attend drag shows.

“No individual under nineteen years of age shall be present at a drag show. Any person nineteen years of age or older who knowingly brings an individual under nineteen years of age to a drag show shall be guilty of a Class I misdemeanor,” the bill states. “No individual under twenty-one years of age shall be present at a drag show if alcoholic liquor is being served at such location.”

The measure goes on to stipulate that any companies, establishments, or nonprofits that hold a drag performance and run afoul of the age limit rules will get slapped with a whopping $10,000 fine for every violation.

The owner of an entity that holds a drag show and knowingly permits a person below the age limit to attend will “be guilty of a Class I misdemeanor,” the measure says. (Read more from “Taking Someone Under 19 to a Drag Show Would Be a Misdemeanor Under Proposed Bill” HERE)

Report: Vasectomies in High Demand Following Roe v. Wade Reversal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Doctors say they are seeing a “drastic increase in vasectomies” following the Supreme Court’s decision to overrule Roe v. Wade and return the issue of abortion back to the states, Yahoo News reported on Thursday.

“There was an increase of basically 100 percent in the number of vasectomies from the moment Roe v. Wade was overturned,” Dr. Esgar Guarin, the co-founder of SimpleVas Medical Clinic, told the outlet.

Guarin, who is a doctor trained in maternal, child, and “reproductive health” in Des Moines, Iowa, said that his office signed up 50 percent of the patients that they would normally have for vasectomies in a month “within only 48 hours” of the high court’s decision on June 24, 2022. The report noted that typically, around 500,000 vasectomies are performed every year in the United States as a form of “permanent birth control for men.”

Planned Parenthood’s office in St. Louis has also noticed an increase in vasectomies, telling Live Action in November of 2022 that the pro-abortion organization has “seen an increasing number of male-bodied people coming and requesting this service.” (Read more from “Report: Vasectomies in High Demand Following Roe v. Wade Reversal” HERE)

Disturbed Doctor Who Euthanized 400 People Brags She Helped Kill Man Deemed Unfit for Assisted Suicide

/0 Comments/in , /by

A doctor who has reportedly euthanized more than 400 people proudly claims she helped end the life of a man originally considered unfit for assisted suicide.

Ellen Wiebe, who works with Dying With Dignity Canada, reportedly bragged at a seminar for physicians involved in assisted suicide about how she treated a patient who was ineligible for the macabre service. The unnamed man had previously been rejected by a Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) assessor because he did not have a serious illness or “the capacity to make informed decisions about his own personal health” However, the man eventually found Wiebe, who reportedly cleared him and euthanized him in Vancouver.

“It’s the most rewarding work we’ve ever done,” Wiebe said during a 2020 MAID event in a video that has since made waves online, The New Atlantic reported. Meanwhile, Stefanie Green, an obstetrician and colleague of Wiebe, also admitted that she’d helped 300 people die in the controversial program. She reportedly used the term “deliveries” to describe both helping women give birth and helping people end their lives.

According to records, only 486 people died from California’s assisted suicide program in 2021, but 10,064 died from MAID. The program has reportedly become so popular that there are both anti-suicide and pro-suicide hotlines in Canada for people who want to kill themselves. MAID has come under further scrutiny for claims that people are now seeking assisted suicide because of poverty and homelessness or mental anguish – rather than terminally ill people seeking a painless death. Such cases were reportedly highlighted in a 2021 presentation by Althea Gibb-Carsley, a recently retired care coordinator and social worker for Vancouver Coastal Health’s assisted suicide program, MAID. She described a 55-year-old patient named Mary who suffered from chronic pain and was unable to relieve the pain because of her low income. “She does not want to die, but she’s suffering terribly and she’s been maxing out her credit cards. She has no other options,” the presentation said.

Gibb-Carsley also cited a similar situation with 68-year-old Nancy, a former doctor who ran out of savings, and with 57-year-old Greg, a writer who suffers from trauma and lacks funds for housing. Another case highlighted was that of a 38-year-old trans woman named Lucy who suffered from chronic pain and felt trapped in her studio apartment where there was “no air or light and creepy men all around.” It is unclear, however, whether any of the above cases were ever approved for assisted suicide.

‘They Are Loving Us to Death’: Homeless Say Portland’s Policies Make It Too Easy to Live on the Street, Fail to Empower

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent video of a homeless woman living on the streets of Portland declaring that the city’s policies have failed to empower the homeless population went viral on Twitter, KATU reported.

Kevin Dahlgren, who does homeless outreach for the nonprofit We Heart Portland, posted a candid interview on social media featuring a woman named Wendy, who has been living in a tent on the streets.

When asked what it is like to be homeless in Portland, Wendy tells Dahlgren that “it’s a piece of cake.”

“I mean, that’s why you probably got so many out here because they feed you three meals a day,” Wendy told Dahlgren. “You don’t have to do s*** but stay in your tent or party. Or, if you smoke a lot of dope, you can do that.”

[Warning: video contains explicit language.]

Wendy told Dahlgren, “They are loving us to death.” (Read more from “‘They Are Loving Us to Death’: Homeless Say Portland’s Policies Make It Too Easy to Live on the Street, Fail to Empower” HERE)

Harvey Weinstein Files NYC Appeal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and his attorneys have filed an appeal in New York City, claiming that a “carnival atmosphere” surrounding the 2020 proceedings prevented him from receiving a fair trial.

Weinstein attorney Arthur L. Aidala — of Aidala, Bertuna & Kamins — said that despite being found guilty and sentenced to 23 years in New York, his client had never once wavered from maintaining his innocence.

“The day I met Harvey in 2019 he told me, ‘I was innocent.’ Despite all the negative things that have happened from 2019 to today, the one thing that hasn’t been diminished is his powerful defense of himself and his proclamations of innocence. He has not given up,” Aidala said in a statement to entertainment outlet Page Six.

Aidala went on to say that Weinstein was actively participating in the appeals process, drafting and approving some of the documents himself even as he awaits sentencing on three separate counts of rape and sexual assault in Los Angeles. (Read more from “Harvey Weinstein Files NYC Appeal” HERE)

Dress Code Pondered in Light of Trans Teacher’s Disgusting Attire; Tucker Carlson Hammers the Insanity

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Kerry Lemieux is free to skydive with Z-cup plastic breasts in 2023, but will the Halton District School Board’s decision to create a dress code prevent the trans shop teacher from wearing the controversial attire that has put [him] in the spotlight.

In a major reversal that could possibly prevent Lemieux from wearing giant prosthetic breasts, the HDSB on Jan. 3 directed staff to develop a “professional standards of dress” policy.

Since September, Lemieux has taught at Oakville Trafalgar High School, wearing extra-large, retail-purchased breasts with artificial nipples under a tight top, along with flex shorts and a blonde wig. While many students and parents have expressed concern this actually mocks women and makes a mockery of the education experience, the board has supported the teacher’s right to dress in this manner. . .

“Be it resolved that the Director (of Education Curtis Ennis) develop a professionalism policy which outlines the HDSB’s expectations of all staff members, including the requirement to maintain appropriate and professional standards of dress and decorum in the classroom,” said the unanimous motion.

This report is expected to be completed by next month. Until then, Lemieux is free to dress as [he] has been seen in videos and pictures from inside the classroom, hallways, skydiving or more recently walking with a cast boot on a foot that suffered an unknown injury. While the instructor was seen teaching in several other HDSB schools in December, there was no sighting on Monday, the first day students returned to class after the Christmas holidays.

Woman Describes Eerie Tinder Date With Idaho Murder Suspect Bryan Kohberger

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hayley Willette says she had not been closely following the latest developments in the case of the four University of Idaho students who were murdered inside their campus home when she came across a news article last week about the grisly crime.

As Willette was reading the story in a small Pennsylvania news outlet, detailing the scene where Bryan Kohberger had been arrested on Dec. 30, the 26-year-old OB/GYN nurse stumbled upon the suspect’s mugshot. That’s when she says she realized that Kohberger was the same man she went on an uncomfortable December 2015 Tinder date with when she was in college. . .

Willette said that after matching on Tinder, the pair went to go see an action movie before Kohberger drove her back to her dorm at Penn State Hazleton. Once back on campus and briefly talking inside his car, she said, Kohberger “started being really pushy about coming” into her room to watch another movie. She said that while she initially agreed, she later pretended to “loudly throw up” in the bathroom before Kohberger—who she said was waiting for her outside the bathroom door—left.

“After an hour or so of him being gone, he messaged me and said I had good birthing hips and I just never messaged back,” she added.

Willette first detailed her story about a strange date with one of the most notorious murder suspects in America in a series of TikToks beginning on Sunday evening. Kohberger’s lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story. (Read more from “Woman Describes Eerie Tinder Date With Idaho Murder Suspect Bryan Kohberger” HERE)
