Doctor Who Spread Story About 10-Year-Old’s Abortion Disciplined for HIPAA Violation: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The doctor who spread a story about a 10-year-old girl who allegedly travelled from Ohio to Indiana for an abortion is being disciplined for a HIPAA violation for taking the story to the press, Fox News reported.

The story originated from Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist who claimed the girl couldn’t legally obtain an abortion in her home state of Ohio. The story came under scrutiny given its single-source nature and Bernard’s history of pro-abortion activism, but an unnamed source has purportedly corroborated the story and revealed new details about the repercussions the doctor is now facing, according to Fox.

A 10-year-old Ohio girl did travel to Indiana for an abortion, a source familiar with the situation told Fox, but it remains unclear whether she was actually forced to cross state lines or was simply referred to the Indianapolis clinic after Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said she would have been allowed to have an abortion in the state. Bernard’s employer is disciplining her for violating HIPAA, the federal law protecting patients’ sensitive medical information, for sharing the child’s story publicly.

Biden Begs the Middle East Nation He Called a ‘Pariah’ to Give Us Oil After He Throttled U.S. Energy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden landed in the Middle East on Wednesday with high hopes for his first visit to the region as commander-in-chief. The agenda included revitalizing a nuclear deal with Iran, pursuing peace in Yemen, and desperately pleading to the Saudis for increased oil production.

While the Biden administration has sought to throw cold water on claims that his first trip to the Arabian Peninsula is an effort to produce more oil, the president himself nearly said as much in The Washington Post. In justifying his upcoming visit with the Saudi crown prince — the same prince the U.S. government says is responsible for the execution of Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi — Biden explained that the nation’s “energy resources are vital for mitigating the impact on global supplies of Russia’s war in Ukraine.”

“This trip comes at a vital time for the region, and it will advance important American interests,” Biden wrote. Presidential pleas to ramp up oil output are an open secret, after repeated calls for increased production were rebuffed by the Arab nation.

The trip also represents an about-face from the president who campaigned in 2019 on making the Saudi state out to be “the pariah that they are” over Khashoggi’s killing the year before. Now Biden writes in the same publication for which Khashoggi worked, “From the start, my aim was to reorient — but not rupture — relations with a country that’s been a strategic partner for 80 years.”

The reality is that Biden is desperate to find global oil reserves ready for market consumption after 18 months spent shutting down American production. From his first day in office, Biden has followed through on his signature campaign pledge to “end fossil fuels.” (Read more from “Biden Begs the Middle East Nation He Called a ‘Pariah’ to Give Us Oil After He Throttled U.S. Energy” HERE)

Most Top Biden Officials Have 0 Years of Business Experience

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is led by lawyers, academics, and community organizers — but few business leaders, a report from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity recently revealed.

According to the conservative think tank, the top 68 individuals in the administration have spent an average of 2.4 years in the business world, with only one in eight boasting “extensive business experience.” The median length of business experience for Biden officials is zero years.

“Surely we want our political class to have a diversity of backgrounds. We want lawyers, grassroots activists, those with political and policy experience, scientists, health experts, and academics with required specialties,” the report argued. “But we also want people who have experience running large operations with hundreds and thousands of employees and who understand logistics.”

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris each have zero years of business experience. Likewise, top Cabinet officials — such as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, and U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai — do not have any experience in the business world. However, a handful of top officials — such as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, both of whom worked in venture capital — have more than a decade of business experience.

Eco-Activists Are Terrorizing US Cities by Going Around and Deflating SUV Tires

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A group of British eco-activists are deflating SUV vehicle tires in major American cities and are actively looking to expand their activities.

The climate activist group “Tyre Extinguishers” are now targeting SUV vehicle tires in major American cities in an effort to fight climate change. In the previous month, they deflated 40 tires in New York City’s Upper East Side, 20 in Philadelphia, 20 in Chicago and 12 in San Francisco as they step up operations in America, according to their website.

The Tyre Extinguishers asserted late Wednesday that they had “more planned” after they bragged about disabling more than 5,000 SUVs in at least eight countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom and Germany. The activists state that their objective is to halt climate change by making it impossible for individuals to drive large, polluting SUV vehicles that belong to the privileged in urban areas.

On Twitter, the group expressed its desire to disable and vandalize SUV vehicles in Los Angeles.

Texas Sues Biden Administration Over Emergency Abortion Guidance

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on Thursday after the Department of Health and Human Services reiterated guidance this week that says doctors are required to perform an abortion if a pregnant woman’s life is in danger.

“President Biden is flagrantly disregarding the legislative and democratic process—and flouting the Supreme Court’s ruling before the ink is dry—by having his appointed bureaucrats mandate that hospitals and emergency medicine physicians must perform abortions,” the lawsuit, which names Health Secretary Xavier Becerra and other officials as defendants, says.

Becerra issued the guidance to health care providers on Monday, writing in a letter that under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, physicians “must” provide an abortion if it is the “stabilizing treatment necessary to resolve” an emergency medical condition.

“When a state law prohibits abortion and does not include an exception for the life and health of the pregnant person — or draws the exception more narrowly than EMTALA’s emergency medical condition definition — that state law is preempted,” Becerra wrote in the letter.

Paxton said in a statement on Thursday afternoon that the administration’s interpretation is too wide and mandates “abortions under a whole new range of circumstances.” (Read more from “Texas Sues Biden Administration Over Emergency Abortion Guidance” HERE)

World Health Organization: Gender ‘Beyond Non-Binary’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The World Health Organization has insisted that mankind was not created by God as male and female but instead displays many genders on a spectrum.

However, that’s apparently no longer good enough for the United Nations organization, which now says in its “gender mainstreaming manual” that gender goes “beyond non-binary,” reports Fox News.

The WHO websites states the updated guidance will focus on “highlighting and expanding on the concept of intersectionality, which looks at how gender power dynamics interact with other hierarchies of privilege or disadvantage, resulting in inequality and differential health outcomes for different people.”

It will emphasize “going beyond non-binary approaches to gender and health to recognize gender and sexual diversity, or the concepts that gender identity exists on a continuum and that sex is not limited to male or female.”

After the WHO was accused of helping China cover up its role in the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. under Donald Trump withdrew its membership from the organization. President Joe Biden has rejoined the WHO. But Republicans in Congress are trying to curb its authority. (Read more from “World Health Organization: Gender ‘Beyond Non-Binary'” HERE)

Worst Poll Yet: Only 18% Want Biden 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

One in five Americans want President Joe Biden to run for reelection while the vast majority say it is time for Biden to call it quits, a Yahoo News/YouGov survey released Thursday found.

While he is not even halfway into his presidency, Biden is struggling to find mass support for reelection come 2024. According to the survey, just 18 percent, overall, believe Biden should run again.

Yahoo! describes the figure as “the lowest number to date.” Further, it reflects a seven point drop from the number who said he should run in May.

Perhaps what is more, just 35 percent of Democrats — an eight point drop since May — believe Biden should run for reelection. Only nine percent of Republicans and 12 percent of independents say Biden should run again. (Read more from “Worst Poll Yet: Only 18% Want Biden 2024” HERE)

Woke Judge Faces Calls to Quit for Telling Criminal: ‘I Don’t Want to Be Where the Cops Are Because I Don’t Know if I’m Going to Walk Away Alive’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Mail. A woke Las Vegas judge is facing calls from a police union to resign after brazenly telling a criminal in her courtroom she didn’t know if she would ‘walk away alive’ from cops.

Judge Erika Ballou told a defendant that he should have walked away from officers, after being arrested for committing battery against an officer in Nevada while on probation.

Footage of the exchange shared by KLAS shows Judge Ballou, who is black, saying: ‘You’re the one making the decisions not to walk away from cops. You’re a black man in America.

‘You know you don’t want to be nowhere where cops are. Listen to me.

‘You know you don’t want to be nowhere where cops are cause I know I don’t, and I’m a middle-aged, middle-class black woman. (Read more from “Woke Judge Faces Calls to Quit for Telling Criminal: ‘I Don’t Want to Be Where the Cops Are Because I Don’t Know if I’m Going to Walk Away Alive’” HERE)

American Judge Kidnapped and Held for $36,000 Ransom After Hiring Two Prostitutes While Vacationing in Rio de Janeiro: Four Suspects Are in Custody, Including Two Men Who Posed as a Police Officer

By Daily Mail. An American judge vacationing in Rio de Janeiro hired two prostitutes before he was kidnapped and held for ransom by two men who were posing as police officers.

The magistrate, whose name has not been released by Brazilian authorities, arrived in the tourist hot spot July 3, according to police reports.

The judge said he had known the two women, identified as Shayna Monteiro and Beatriz Freitas, from his previous trips to Rio de Janeiro. He reached out to the women and invited them Monday to an apartment he rented out in the Copacabana sector.

Monteiro and Freitas left the apartment around 11:30 am but returned an hour later, accompanied by Erivaldo da Silva and Alef dos Santos, who followed them into the judge’s pad and identified themselves as members of the Civil Police force.

Once inside the apartment, da Silva and dos Santos claimed that the women were underage and that he was being placed under arrest.

The Left Is Doing Its Best To Make Self-Defense A Crime

/0 Comments/in , /by

The same left-wing prosecutors who let rioting run rampant and let repeat offenders out on low bail also want to make it difficult for you to defend yourself.

We don’t yet know all the details about an apparent fatal stabbing of an agitated man by bodega clerk Jose Alba in New York City last week, but we do know that the clerk was quickly charged with murder and initially held at Rikers Island on $250,000 bail while video surveillance seems to indicate he likely acted in self-defense. Surveillance videos show the unnamed girlfriend of Austin Simon, the man Alba killed who had a history of felony arrests and was out on parole, becoming upset with Alba when her card was declined and threatening to “bring my n– down here and he gonna f-ck you up.”

Another video shows Simon walking behind the counter to Alba, shoving him, and getting in his face before Alba stood up and appeared to try to walk past Simon, at which point the two wrestled until Alba eventually stabbed the other man. “I don’t want a problem,” Alba told Simon when he walked in, according to the New York Post. Further footage appears to show the girlfriend pulling out a knife of her own and slashing Alba, although she has not been charged.

After outrage over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s decision to charge Alba, who has no prior criminal record, with murder, and his pursuit of such a high bail while Alba languished at Rikers, the bail amount was reduced — but the charges have so far not been dropped. In the meantime, GoFundMe deleted a fundraising page for Alba’s defense, in a move that has become common for the platform when its leaders don’t agree with a cause.

A fearless citizen with the will and means to defend himself is a threat to left-wing bureaucrats who want to boss him around — like they did when they knocked on doors sniffing out “unauthorized” religious services and gatherings during Covid lockdowns, or when they allowed lawless riots to hold cities hostage during the summer of 2020. Bragg’s decision to crack down on what appears to at least potentially be a strong case of self-defense may not have been an intentional ploy to criminalize self-protective autonomy, but it does follow a long string of actions and attitudes on the left that are hostile to the idea of a law-abiding citizen using a lethal weapon to protect himself and his property.
