🚨 MOM SNAPS - DOES THE GARBAGE MEN’S JOB WHILE HER BABY CRIES ON THE LAWN

They refused to pick it up for two weeks, claiming it was “too heavy.”
So she stormed out, lifting and dumping the trash herself while they stood there watching.

In 1979, Elvita Adams, overwhelmed by financial difficulties and living paycheck to paycheck, reached a point of deep despair.

In a moment of crisis, she decided to end her life by jumping from the Empire State Building. Remarkably, she survived what seemed to be a certain death.

Adams’ survival can be attributed to an extraordinary stroke of luck—or what some might call divine intervention.

As she leaped from the building, a gust of wind caught her and blew her back onto the observation deck below, where she landed on a ledge. From there, she managed to crawl to safety, escaping what would have otherwise been a fatal fall.

Her experience sheds light on a disturbing aspect of the Empire State Building and the fate of those who have attempted to jump from it.

As a former building employee explained, the structure’s design plays a significant role in the outcome of such jumps.

The base of the Empire State Building is wider than its upper floors, which means that individuals who jump do not necessarily fall straight to the ground.

Instead, they often strike other parts of the building on the way down, sometimes causing their bodies to disintegrate upon impact, akin to a block of cheese meeting a giant grater.

It is a gruesome reality that underscores the horror of such attempts, one that Elvita Adams was fortunate to avoid.

The phenomenon of surviving a jump from a great height often leads to a profound shift in perspective for those who experience it.

Accounts from individuals who have survived similar falls, such as those from the Golden Gate Bridge, frequently reveal a common realization: once they found themselves falling, the problems that had driven them to jump seemed far less significant.

This shift in perception highlights the complexity of the human experience in moments of extreme crisis, and the potential for clarity that can emerge even in the direst of circumstances.

DENVER — Truly incredible video shows a douchebag hyping ICE, using a homophobic slur, then falling twice on his own face and getting laughed at during yesterday's NO KINGS rally.

In 1952, inside a New York City delivery room, a baby was born blue and silent. Doctors hesitated, unsure whether to keep trying. Then a calm voice broke through the panic.
“Let’s score the baby,” said Dr. Virginia Apgar.
That moment changed medicine forever.
Apgar had once dreamed of being a surgeon, but in the 1940s few women were allowed into the operating room. Told that no hospital would hire her, she turned to anesthesiology instead — a decision that would save millions of lives.
Working in Columbia-Presbyterian’s maternity ward, she saw newborns die within minutes of birth because doctors had no system to judge which babies needed help first. So one morning in 1952, she grabbed a pen and paper and designed a five-point test measuring heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflex response, and skin color. She called it the Apgar Score.
The idea spread faster than anyone expected. Within a decade, almost every hospital in America was using it. Infant mortality fell sharply. Doctors finally had a language for newborn care — and babies once thought lost were suddenly being saved.
Apgar never stopped pushing forward. She earned a public health degree, joined the March of Dimes, and became a global voice for mothers and infants. When asked how she had thrived in a man’s world, she laughed, “Women are like tea bags — they don’t know how strong they are until they’re in hot water.”
Dr. Virginia Apgar passed away in 1974, but her test still guides every delivery room on Earth. Every two seconds, somewhere in the world, a baby takes its first breath — and someone quietly calls out a number that honors the woman who refused to give up on newborns or on herself.

I think Democrats should implement this nationwide at all protests.

A competent attorney with a bullhorn directly communicating to law enforcement and the surrounding cameras.

This is a VERY smart idea.

This is Reverend David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot seven times in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was kneeling to pray at a protest.

You guys DO know he’s simply baiting everyone with all this ICE terrorism of cities, so he can then declare Martial Law and cancel the election(s), right? Please understand this.
