This amazing video shows an unborn baby in the amniotic sac right before birth.

No clump of cells. No parasite. A human being.

Has the @SeattleTimes just handed all newsroom operations over to the WEA and SEIU at this point?

[Ed Morrissey @EdMorrissey]

NOOOOOOOOOO

RIP and thanks for a lifetime of great memories, Mr. Koenig.

We join Star Trek fans in mourning the loss of actor Walter Koenig. He joined the cast of the original Star Trek television series in its second season as Russian navigator Pavel Chekov, a key member of the Enterprise crew. Koenig portrayed Chekov in two seasons of the original series and all six of the original series major motion pictures.

R.I.P. Walter Koenig, great actor and person.

Star Trek Trivia: He did not appear in the first season of the original Star Trek series. Gene Roddenberry wanted the cast to be very diverse and reflect humanity. After one season, amidst the 1960s space race between the USA and USSR, he realized it was an oversight to not have a Russian character in the cast, so Season 2 welcomed "Mr. Chekov."

(He was also supposed to appeal to the mop-top, Beatles generation of then-young Boomers.)

If you think about it, Roddenberry was exceptionally bold adding a Russian character at the height of the Cold War, but he was focused on the idea that we were all humans.

Crazily and unrealistically idealistic and naive? Yes, perhaps, but you have to admire Roddenberry's commitment to world peace.

Also, I'm glad Walter got over that thing that Khan stuck in his ear (kidding, I'm kidding).

Rest in peace Walter, you made so many of us happy.

Did Marie Gluesenkamp Perez stand? Or did she stay seated?! Vote John Braun!!!

I will never forget the day that I watched Democrats refuse to stand for Iryna Zarutska’s mother at the State of the Union.

It was so shockingly evil, that even while I watched it, I could barely believe it.

Honestly, I still can’t.

It was so insanely radicalizing.

A woman in Geauga County asked me about my message to independent voters & here’s what I told her: vote for the person who’ll make more money flow into your wallet than out. Lower property taxes, lower electric bills, lower housing costs.

"As with most issues, the far-left Californian has it backward: The economic and social ideas dear to his own Democratic Party are what have destabilized France. France, after all, is home to socialized medicine, high minimum wages, powerful unions, some of the most generous worker protections in the world, big government spending and a massive welfare state." https://t.co/vHogqQT5m3

Reuters is trash news. They don't mention that they kept some of the polls open (so Lula voters had 2 more hours to flood the polls) and closed others "on time", in districts where his opponent's voters live. How is that valid?

In a victory speech in Sao Paulo, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva vowed to govern for all 215 million Brazilians after winning the runoff election against Flavio Bolsonaro to secure a historic fourth term in office https://t.co/7YJTjgnFAX

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 JUST IN: In a bombshell statement, Brazil's President of the Superior Electoral Court Justice Kassio Nunes Marques just SOUNDED THE ALARM that there was absolutely NO RULE that allowed the voting to continue an extra +2 hours — an unprecedented order from Lula's Supreme Court flunky that helped his regions

"The preliminary decision given after the voting closing time generated DIFFICULTIES in the electoral process...there [were] no regulations authorizing any extension." 🤯

"Never, in the history of the TSE, has there been ANY extension."

"It would not be possible, in a few hours, to form a judgment with certainty that no side effects — especially in the technological aspect — arising from a court decision would significantly impact the vote count!"

He also pointedly reminded the Supreme Court that the Electoral Justice system is "the institution to which our Constitution attributed the exclusive competence to manage the electoral process"

Lula's handpicked justice bypassed the TSE after 5PM and ordered it anyway!

EVERYONE SAW THIS and even LULA knows he stole it. This judge is spot-on.

Sadly, Brazil is run by socialists and tyrants. The ONLY hope now appears to be annulling the results

No more shenanigans. Pray for the success of Bolsonaro and by extension the people of Brazil! 🇧🇷

It isn't transphobic or homophobic to want our kids to not be indoctrinated with gender ideology. No matter how many times you "say" it, it won't be accurate. It's a normal viewpoint and a 20/80 issue.

What should be disturbing is Ukraine misusing Starlink. The contract says they can't use it for military strikes. And they did. So it was their own fault.

@Julie08005511 @ThornsFC Good point

[WA Leg Watch @360GOP]

So I did a little digging, because I did not understand how a pride flag is OK, but this t-shirt isn't. You ready for this? The pride flag is considered "human rights" and an xx xy shirt is considered "political advocacy." The @ThornsFC should be shamed and shunned. Unacceptable.

[Brandi Kruse @BrandiKruse]

I was just forcefully removed from a @ThornsFC game for the crime of wearing an @xx_xyathletics t-shirt. I am in shock. We peacefully wore our shirts. We were assaulted by fans. Then WE were forced to leave – with FORCE by stadium security. I am utterly in shock.

@ronhbishop And I have friends who went from insurance costing $800/month w/ a $5000 deductible to $1300/month and a $13,000 deductible. Wife had to get a job, just to afford the health insurance. Just awful.

NOT a Texas father!

He is an ILLEGAL ALIEN from Mali with a final order of removal from a judge, who said he’s homosexual in order to dodge deportation - despite having a wife and two kids at home.

Wonder why @60Minutes didn’t ask him about that.
