Doctors are manually operating ventilators in order to keep babies alive in Cuba.
The U.S. is laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel, power is out, leaving hospitals without electricity. Dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others will die. This’s a crime against humanity.
today coworker who started ranting about "open boarders" so I told her "you could not pay me to care if someone comes into this country illegally because I have real problems" and ALL OF A SUDDEN I’ve got an "investigatory meeting" for checking my schedule on my phone on Friday.
🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ has "indefinitely paused" the unsealing of the final Epstein files, citing "regional instability" and "national security" regarding the Iran conflict.
If you had ANY remaining doubts, then nobody can help you.
In the Netherlands, if a person dies alone, without any family or friends as mourners, a poet will be sent to write a poem and read it at the burial service. It's called the Lonely Funeral Project, and it's just humans being good humans.
This is a huge story in China right now given how big an outcry the installation of this caused back in 2017: Chinese tourism to South Korea was stopped, the Lotte Group was essentially shut down in China (nearly all of Lotte Mart's 112 Chinese stores were closed down due to "fire safety issues"), Hyundai and Kia had to close factories, k-pop disappeared from Chinese media, etc.
And now the US is just dismantling it to send it to the Middle-East...
So, quite literally, to have this, South Korea endured tens of billions in economic damage and did enormous harm to its relationship with its neighbor and largest trading partner... only for the US to take it back whenever it suited them.
The lesson writes itself.
Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at https://t.co/MQvByA4atR and https://t.co/v6ghw99u1K — it takes two minutes and it matters.
It’s nukes. He’s gonna use nukes. It’ll do very little to actually affect Irans dispersed tactical functionality. But It’ll shatter every international alliance and break tabooos. It’ll be a humanitarian catastrophe. Russia and China will be forced to take a stand
Benjamin Netanyahu announces he has a major surprise for Iran that will completely destabilize the country.
Netanyahu is asking Iranians to lay down their weapons and surrender or face death.
Netanyahu says, “The moment of truth is approaching,” and he will free Iran and make Iran and Israel allies.

I remember when hepatitis B was a major problem for surgeons - getting stuck in the operating room. In fact a famous surgeon died from cancer caused by chronic hep B infection. So - here is the tea (I am not really cool but someone said this is the thing cool kids say).
Hepatitis B is a liver virus that spreads through blood and body fluids. Decades ago we saw it all the time—chronic infection, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. The problem is worse in infants: when babies get infected, up to 90% develop lifelong infection. And babies don’t get it from sex or drugs—they get it from caregivers and household exposure to infected blood or body fluids. That’s why the U.S. began universal newborn vaccination in the 1990s: protect the child before exposure happens.
We now have 40 years of data from carefully followed U.S. populations—including Alaska Native communities—showing what happens when you vaccinate early: childhood hepatitis B infections drop by >95% and liver cancer in children essentially disappears. That success is why hepatitis B is now rare in U.S. kids. And after billions of doses and decades of study, the evidence is clear: the hepatitis B vaccine does not cause autism. It prevents a lifelong viral infection that used to fill hospital wards.
BREAKING: Iranian military says they have finalized a plan to target Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor if the U.S. and Israel pursue a ‘regime change’ scenario in practice.
An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇
"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.
Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation.
So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.
Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse.
A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."
ICE shoot pepper spray into moving car in busy traffic—hit U.S. citizen driving & her 3 kids.
New bodycam footage clearly show agents lied claiming family was "impeding."
"My eyes were burning, I had crying kids... How did I manage to drive?" mom said. "It's assault on minors."
Video shows 2 agents drive up alongside the moving car—then pepper spray the 3 young girls ages 18, 15 & 11.
ICE vehicle then turned on its police lights and sped away fleeing the scene
The incident occurred while driving home from shopping at Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents followed STUDENTS to their home… boxed them in… and then tried to call it a “consensual encounter,” in Shakopee, Minnesota.
In the video, the students pulled into a parking spot at their home.
Multiple ICE vehicles pulled up behind them and blocked them in.
Then, agents approached and demanded ID.
When a neighbor started filming and asked why they were following the students, the agent claimed this was a “consensual encounter”… and said the driver had “stopped for them.”
Except she parked her car and they pulled up behind her…
And that distinction matters legally.
A consensual encounter only exists if a reasonable person would feel free to leave.
You are not free to leave when multiple government vehicles pull in behind you and block your car. That is a seizure under the Fourth Amendment. And a seizure requires reasonable suspicion of a crime.
When asked the reason for the stop, the agent said they were “stopped in the middle of the road.”
…They were in a parking spot.
Then, the agent tells the driver, “I think we stopped and talked to you the other day.”
So, this is the SECOND time they’ve illegally targeted and followed a CHILD.
And let’s be honest about the power dynamic here…
When agents surround your vehicle, when they have a documented pattern of escalating encounters, when people across the country have been dragged out of cars, tackled, tased, or shot at during these so-called “stops,” no reasonable person believes they can just drive away without consequences.
Consent under threat of force is not consent.
If ICE wants to detain someone, they need lawful grounds, they need articulable suspicion. They do not get to follow students home, block them in, and retroactively call it “consensual” because someone asked questions on camera.
This is how constitutional erosion happens.
If federal agents can redefine “parking” as “stopping for them,” and redefine “blocked in” as “free to leave,” then the Fourth Amendment becomes whatever they say it is in the moment.
And that should alarm everyone.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are arresting unaccompanied minors, trafficking them across state borders, and then “losing”them.
Sixteen-year-old Sebastian, an asylum-seeker from Ecuador, was driving in Minneapolis when immigration agents pulled him over in early January. He managed to call his father before they confiscated his phone.
Then he disappeared.
Instead of processing him locally, federal agents moved him from holding area to holding area, kept him overnight in a HOTEL under guard, and then flew him to Michigan.
He was placed in a federally contracted Christian youth shelter, and given 5 vaccines.
All while his family had no idea where he was.
For nearly a week, the government could not… or would not… tell his father where his 16-year-old son had been taken. When his attorney filed an emergency petition, an ICE lawyer responded that it “does not appear that this Petitioner is in ICE custody.”
He had been arrested by ICE… He had been transported by ICE.
But suddenly, according to ICE, he wasn’t in ICE custody.
After agents picked him up, they labeled him an “unaccompanied minor” and issued him a new alien number, even though he already had one as an asylum-seeker.
That second number made him nearly impossible to track once he was transferred into the federal shelter system.
When his lawyer finally located him in Michigan, he had been confined for over a week, he was not allowed to disclose his location to his father, his movement was restricted, and his communication was monitored.
This is what they are calling “ensuring safety.”
The shelter he was sent to… Bridgeway, operated by Bethany Christian Services…has a documented history of violations.
In 2023, a counselor there was charged with sexually abusing immigrant youth. State inspections later found compliance failures, including background check issues and evidence of staff hazing children.
This facility receives millions in federal funding.
Sebastian’s family was lucky. They were able to hire a lawyer. They were able to track him through paperwork the government claimed did not exist. They were able to physically show up and get him out.
How many families don’t have that kind of help?
How many parents are calling numbers that lead nowhere?
How many children are sitting in facilities under new identification numbers, waiting for someone to figure out where they’ve been sent?
If it takes a federal court order, and private investigators, to locate a 16-year-old the government admits it picked up…
That’s a system where the government is knowingly trafficking children, unless their family has the resources to pull them back.
