I am in the ER at the Tampa VA Hospital. The Bride is being admitted. Once again, I am experiencing the nightmare that is the VA. Please contact all prayer warriors. We cannot afford to lose her now.

Even biologists are confused about gender confusion. One thing they know from science: it is not biological.A study at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles resulted in a politically-incorrect conclusion: transgender identity is not due to hormone imbalance.“We’ve now put to rest the residual belief that transgender experience is a result of a hormone imbalance,” said Dr. Johanna Olson, of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “It’s not.”Olson and her colleagues found that transgender youth have sex hormone levels consistent with the gender they were assigned at birth. So, a transgender youth who is assigned a female gender at birth, usually...

I was born into a family of famous gay pagan authors in the late Sixties. My mother was Marion Zimmer Bradley, and my father was Walter Breen. Between them, they wrote over 100 books: my mother wrote science fiction and fantasy (Mists of Avalon), and my father wrote books on numismatics: he was a coin expert. What they did to me is a matter of unfortunate public record: suffice to say that both parents wanted me to be gay and were horrifed at my being female. My mother molested me from ages 3-12. The first time I remember my father...

Cecile Richards, who recently linked the racist history of baby parts harvesting Planned Parenthood to the NAACP and makes a six digit salary as CEO of the abortion giant, is being again mocked by a national feminist group. Recently, the group, Center for Medical Progress released two videos capturing TOP Planned Parenthood doctors admitting to harvesting the organs of unborn babies as late as 17-22 weeks for what some claim amounts to profit. Shortly after their release, the national feminist organization, New Wave Feminists uploaded a parody video comparing the ghoulish operation to Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. Planned Parenthood’s PR...

Muslims Are Required To Fulfill Five Demands for Being a Good Muslim, one in Which He Must Visit Mecca Islam: Haj Pilgrimage incomplete without hot Camel sex *SNIP* "If He Had Sexual Intercourse with His Camel would that make his hajj void" http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/Islam_and_Bestiality#cite_note-E.L._Masters-8 http://www.barenakedislam.com/2009/06/13/islams-rules-for-having-sex-with-animals/ Islamic Scripture Qur'an In contrast with what secular and non-Islamic religious sources say about bestiality, this is what the Qur'an has That's right - absolutely, positively nothing. Unlike the Qur'an's clear-cut rulings on the morality of homosexuality, Polygamy, rape, and pedophilia, the permissibility of bestiality seems to have been left open to ‘interpretation.’ If Islamic teachings...

As we approach the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon Johnson signing the Medicare bill into law (July 30th), what better time to consider the seemingly intractable problem of healthcare? FDR tried to include a federal health insurance component into the Social Security Act of 1935, but backed off. Harry Truman, his successor, took up the cause again in 1945, 1947, and 1949. JFK would pick up the banner in 1961. During the 1965 signing, LBJ called the 81-year-old Truman “the real daddy of Medicare,” and presented him and his wife Bess with the first two Medicare cards. With the passage...

Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox If they sincerely cherish their names and reputations, the principals of Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox should launch a joint lawsuit against Planned Parenthood. Until the scandalous video showed their doctors talking about the sale of aborted baby parts as ‘taking care of business’, the names of the three multi-nationals, among others, were being openly advertised as corporate sponsors on the Planned Parenthood website. The purveyors of selling aborted baby parts have linked their names to infamy, and in fact disgraced all corporations boldly named on the Planned Parenthood website. Members of the public at large have...

As the second video is released showing Planned Parenthood in a baby parts harvesting operation, the meme’s have flooding in. Tuesday the world heard Planned Parenthood doctor Mary Gatter say, “I want a Lamborghini” when haggling over the price of the aborted body parts with Center for Medical Progress undercover actors. Last week I posted some images after video of Planned Parenthood abortionist Deborah Nucatola was published showing her offering to “crush below” and “crush above” the baby in the womb to preserve the precise organ for their buyers. Tuesday’s image responses, ranged from more well known pro-life people like...

I got a reply from Trump’s Veteran’s email today -— I know it is most likely a blanket response at this time, but it IS an actual response: “Thank you for sharing your story. It is an embarrassment for America when our men and women who serve have to struggle to get the care they earned and deserve. Mr. Trump is determined to fix the problems veterans face and your experience will be a part of the reform. Please know that fixing these problems is job one. Thank you for your service. Take care”

A Sardis, Alabama woman, Michelle Russel, was attacked by a rabid bobcat in her front yard on 13 July, 2015.  Her friend, Register, had a .22 rifle in the house, but the cartridges were in a tool shop.  From greenvilleadvocate.com: “I kept yelling, ‘There’s a bobcat out here.’ He immediately got his gun and ran to his tool shop to get bullets,” she said.   Register got the rifle loaded, but not before the cat attacked Michelle: “The cat just full-force jumped in the air and bit my arm. If I had been facing him, he would’ve probably got...

Sophia was air lifted again to the Dallas area after another stroke. The doctors now believe she may have something called Pediatric Central Nervous System Vasculitus as new images show other arteries in the brain beginning to close with inflammation. Her situation is very bad and treatment includes forms of chemotherapy to suppress her immune system to hopefully decrees the inflammation. My husband and I are considering transferring her care to Boston Children’s or Cleveland Clinic which has a vasculitus center. My mother flew in with my son so I am cherishing every second with him in case we leave...

Back in 2008 Barack Obama promised his supporters that he would not take their guns. ““I believe in the Second Amendment. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away… But I am not going to take your guns away. So if you want to find an excuse not to vote for me, don’t use that one because it just ain’t true. It ain’t true.” Via Free Republic:(VIDEO-AT-LINK)His campaign also ran this ad: “Barack Obama WON’T Take Away Your Gun…”But that was in 2008. Now this… Barack Obama is...

Stem Express It didn’t take long for Stem Express, the California-based company caught buying aborted baby parts from Planned Parenthood, to get back in business online. Stem Express, which LifeNews reported offline on Wednesday is back online today—advertising the sale of the same baby livers, Deborah Nucatola so callously went on about during her salad and red wine lunch. Planned Parenthood’s baby livers, advertised by Stem Express, are going for anywhere from $565 to $2433. Hard to believe they’re back so soon. Perhaps Stem Express principals are emboldened by the nepotism of their Planned Parenthood /Republican Party connections.

Here’s an explanation for Islamic terrorism that’s never proffered: Insanity and Stupidity A never-spoken-about problem with Muslims is their inbreeding as a result of their long and deeply-ingrained practice of marrying first cousins — a practice that has been prohibited in the Judeo-Christian tradition since the days of Moses. More than 7 years ago, the UK’s environment minister Phil Woolas had sounded the alarm about this “very sensitive” issue that is “rarely debated”. Referring to the culture of arranged marriages between cousins in the Muslim immigrant community, Woolas said: “If you have a child with your cousin the likelihood is...

Performing an important public service. I have to admit. I’ve been caught off guard by this. I had no idea that people were keeping chickens as pets. I get raising chickens for eggs. I understand grilling their tasty meat. I was not, however, aware that people think owning a chicken is a lot like owning a cat. Apparently, I’ve been asleep at the switch. It’s a brave new world and chicken-pets are a part of it. But, if you’re thinking it would be tons of fun to see a rooster curled up in a ball at the foot of your...

Naturally, monstrous butchers are liars too Image Credit: StemExpress via Center for Medical ProgressDo a quick Google search and you’ll find it just about everywhere on liberal opinion sites and on dinosaur media sites that aren’t still ignoring the story. It’s one or another variation on the following: “No, Planned Parenthood Isn’t Selling ‘Aborted Baby Parts’.” And how can Planned Parenthood and its media protectors make such a claim when there’s a video out that shows one of the organization’s top medical officials engaged in a three-hour discussion of how Planned Parenthood sells aborted body parts? Nuances, you see! You...

An abortionist who once called abortion sacred and claims to be a Christian has made several more stunning statements lately. Abortion doctor Willie Parker is a hero to the eugenics motivated abortion industry because he is African American and works at the last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi. Parker is also a circuit runner at other clinics around the country. “My work is emotionally satisfying because compassion is my passion,” the abortionist told In These Time. “I am fortunate to do what most people are not able to: expend my energies on behalf of what I think is a noble...

One of the unfortunate realities of clinical research is that much of it doesn’t bear fruit in the way its intended beneficiaries would like it to, i.e. resulting in cures for the diseases from which they suffer. It often leads researchers into blind alleys and cul-de-sacs rather than transformative medical breakthroughs. Even so, this experimentation is necessary, if only to learn from their past failures and mistaken assumptions-a process illuminated brilliantly in The Emperor of All Maladies, the first comprehensive biography of cancer-and ultimately discover successful treatments and therapies. But this presupposes a consistent stream of funding to enable research...

The corrosive connection between donations to the Democrat political machine and one’s profession comes into glaring focus with the revelation that Pakistani American doctor Asad Qamar gave that party a whopping $450,000 while pulling in the highest total of Medicare reimbursements of any U.S. cardiologist. This man received the highest reimbursement of cardiologists all over the U.S. in Medicare reimbursement money during 2012. His practice, located in four Florida counties, is based in Ocala and raked in $18.2 million in one of Medicare’s largest fraud scandals to date. Whistleblowers started the Doctor’s fall from America’s medical gravy train with legal...

The term “politically correct” dates back to shortly after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Originally, it only meant adherence to the policies and principles of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (aka the “party line”). Inevitably, though, the term would become one of derision, mocking those who would blindly follow Stalin’s enormous policy flip-flops during and after World War II. These days, the term is primarily used to mock the imposition of overly precious speech codes, supposedly intended to prevent insult. Too often, though, the net effect is simply censorship. A common complaint is that the choice of what...
