Even NICU preemies need their mom. Kangaroo care helps regulate babies heart rate, breathing, and temp. They love hearing mommas heart beat. God designed it that way.

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

When my oldest was born, they refused to let me hold her because her oxygen levels were low. But I was persistent, and they eventually relented, allowing her to lay on my chest until the NICU nurse came to roll her away. When the nurse arrived, I asked that they check her oxygen levels one more time before taking her. They did. Oxygen: 100%. Perfect. The nurse shrugged and left. Our baby girl was healthy. She just needed me. My heartbeat, my warmth, my touch. She needed her mom.

Stories like this aren’t rare. Newborns need their moms to regulate their oxygen and heart rate. That’s why, when at all possible, most doctors and hospitals give baby to mom right away.

We know this when it comes to normal births, but when it comes to surrogacy - especially the kind when two men are purchasing a baby from a woman - the baby is immediately and intentionally taken away from his or her mom and given to two strangers. It is not surprising that these babies often undergo complications post-birth. Beyond that, we don’t fully know the physiological and psychological effect of robbing babies of their mothers at birth.

It’s worse treatment than we give puppies and kittens, but when it’s for “inclusion,” it’s celebrated.

Adoption is one thing - it redeems a broken situation. But surrogacy is another - it intentionally creates the broken situation.

Babies’ needs will always matter more than adults’ wants.

BREAKING: Video shows that before the Algeria - Argentina World Cup match, Algerian fans chanted:

“Messi is the enemy of Allah. Allah is on our side. Algeria will destroy the infidel nation of Argentina.”

What is wrong with these people?

[Verenice N. Flores @Vflo93]

Nobody cares! Go back to your beloved Iran!

[Oyindamola🙄 @dammiedammie35]

Iranian fans cr!es out inside the stadium yesterday after their flags were reportedly taken from them by FIFA official 🥹💔🏟️

Karmelo Anthony’s parents wanted their son to live in a gated community, and now he will. So it all worked out for them in the end.

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

While it’s not on the table, the correct, proportionate, just punishment for Karmelo Anthony is the death penalty.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

I hope Austin Metcalf's family sues Karmelo Anthony for wrongful death and gets every penny of the money that was donated to him and then some.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

This is so devastating. Imagine being a black parent tonight. How do you protect your children? If they go out and stab just one person, they might go to prison. It’s like a black man in America can’t even murder anyone anymore. Unimaginable. Jim Crow all over again. I’m furious.

[Verenice N. Flores @Vflo93]

What’s disgusting is acting “tough” and murdering someone and not expecting consequences. Stop blaming everything on race and start owning up to the consequences of our actions. He should have been sentenced to life! So I agree, this isn’t justice for the VICTIM (Austin)!

[Cardi B @iamcardib]

Wow! Just freakin wow! DISGUSTING… This is not justice, this is trying to make an example!!!

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Keep in mind, if Karmelo had plead guilty early on, it would have cut the fundraiser short. His parents chose to send him to trial so they could keep raking in the cash. They don’t love or care about him. Awful people who inevitably raised an awful son. My only regret is that they can’t be thrown in a prison cell along with him.

[Nike Basketball @nikebasketball]

Greetings, @NBA Finals.

[Verenice N. Flores @Vflo93]

What about Karmelo Anthony? He also murdered a teen and was allowed to continue life (graduate, stay in the comfort of his home). I mean you can be mad at both. So report on both! Both should be in jail awaiting their murder trials. America has gotten soft of crime.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Timothy Hudson, the 16-year-old charged with sexually assaulting and killing his 18-year-old stepsister, Anna Kepner, while on a family vacation aboard a Carnival Cruise Ship last year, will remain free with his family for now.

CBS News' @annaschecter has more.

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

@elonmusk wish you would allow private tours of @SpaceX for kids. My space obsessed would be soo excited!

Military should get money, and NYC should go and get a job.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

THEIR PRIORITIES AND OURS.

President Trump wants $500 billion more for the military for new weapons of destruction and endless wars.  

Mayor Mamdani wants $22 billion to address the housing crisis in NYC and build 400,000 units of low income and affordable housing.

Please go on @conservmillen podcast and correct your comments. Let’s have a civil debate. Come on, what do you have to lose? Texas wants this! Make it happen.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Texas state Rep. and Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico responded to GOP attacks over his past remark that God is “non-binary,” telling @edokeefe that some of his previous comments “missed the mark.”

“There are some statements that I’ve made that I certainly regret,” Talarico said, adding that Ken Paxton, whom he will face in November, “is intentionally clipping my cringey comments to distract from his career of corruption.”

[Haus 🇺🇸 @HausenUSA]

Nah. We're not doing this anymore.

[Verenice N. Flores @Vflo93]

Homeboy died of an overdose! A soldier killed fighting for our freedom is not the same as a man dying of an overdose! This is disrespectful and stupid!

[City of Minneapolis @CityMinneapolis]

Today we remember George Floyd.

[Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen]

No one is being “forced” to sell their 5-year-old daughters to pedophiles. They are voluntarily doing this to make money, as they have in the Middle East for centuries. Any half-decent father would starve to death before selling his child to a rapist. These are evil men making evil choices justified by an evil religion and normalized by an awful culture. And, bonus: it’s being imported into the West en masse

[Verenice N. Flores @Vflo93]

Okay Benghazi 🙄

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.

He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.

You could not make this up.
