Conversation Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV A woman 23–25 weeks pregnant, is now on a ventilator from liver failure—she was trying to “prove Trump wrong” about Tylenol & autism because of a TT trend. Doctors say they do NOT expect her to survive. It’s sad that someone could be this brainwashed

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The Charleston County magistrate judge who is facing charges in connection with sexually explicit images of children has waived his right to a preliminary hearing. James B. Gosnell Jr., 68, faces charges of possession of child sexual abuse material, according to the United States Department of Justice. He was scheduled to appear on Monday to determine whether a judge would grant him bond. But that hearing lasted only about five minutes and Gosnell’s attorney, Lionel Lofton, asked the court for two more days to prepare for a preliminary hearing. Court documents state Gosnell has now waived...

A federal judge handed down a stiff sentence to a man who turned political rage into arson, and it matters. Casey Robert Goonan was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison after a string of firebombings and arsons in the Bay Area. The court applied a terrorism enhancement, and the result should remind anyone tempted by violent activism that the system takes these attacks seriously. On June 1, Goonan placed a bag of six incendiary devices under a UC Police Department patrol car near the UC Berkeley campus, an act caught on surveillance video. Ten days later he attacked an...

The High Cost of Easy Credit: How Consumer Debt Distorted the EconomyIn the past five decades, the expansion of consumer credit has transformed the American economy. What began in the 1970s as a convenient financial tool has become a fundamental pillar of daily life for most households. Credit cards, followed by newer lending models like "Buy Now, Pay Later," have fueled consumption, enabled lifestyle inflation, and propped up economic growth. But beneath the surface lies a troubling reality: easy credit has created a disconnect between buyers and sellers, distorted real demand, inflated prices, and built a fragile foundation of debt.In...

A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster. This was absolutely sabotage, as noted by a day’s earlier “post” in The London Times that said UN workers “joked about turning off...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an update to make the party's longtime insignia more accurate in reflecting its modern platform and constituency, Democrats unveiled a new logo featuring a donkey holding a sniper rifle. Following a rash of violent crimes perpetrated by members of the political left, the Democratic Party held a closed-door meeting that determined adding a sniper rifle to the logo would best depict what the party stands for and who it represents. "It's the perfect illustration of what our party stands for," said Ken Martin, head of the Democratic National Committee. "Everyone has known the donkey as the...

Illegal migrants being given free taxis to health appointments are being treated as “special cases” by the government. Express columnist Carole Malone said the system makes taxpayers’ “blood boil” as they have to make their own way to hospital while funding transport for asylum seekers. One illegal migrant took a 250-mile journey to visit a GP at a cost to the Home Office of £600. Malone told the Daily Expresso news show: “This is what makes people’s blood boil because sick people can’t get free taxis on the government to get to a hospital to see a doctor.”

On Monday, President Donald Trump issued an advisory for pregnant women to refrain from taking Tylenol or at the very least cut back on their intake of it as a precaution due to a possible link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) and autism.The reaction to this announcement by the Associated Press that same day displayed an obvious animus that Science was dying. This fury was reflected in the headline of the AP story by Ali Swenson and Lauran Neergaard: "Trump makes unfounded claims about Tylenol and repeats discredited link between vaccines and autism."

Sir Sadiq Khan has said Donald Trump has shown he is "racist, sexist, misogynistic and Islamophobic" after the president made comments about him to the United Nations. Speaking to the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, Trump said London had "a terrible, terrible mayor, and it's been changed, it's been so changed". He added: "Now they want to go to Sharia law." Speaking to BBC London, Sir Sadiq said: "People are wondering what it is about this Muslim mayor who leads a liberal, multi-cultural, progressive and successful city, that means I appear to be living rent-free inside Donald...

Hillary: "The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was, dominated by— you know, let's say it, White men, uh— of a certain persuasion, uh— certain religion, uh— certain point of view certain ideology, is just doing such damage..."

A third Catholic bishop has stood up to oppose a decision by Cardinal Blasé Cupich to give an award to pro-abortion Senator Dick Durbin. As LifeNews has reported, Cupich has been flooded with messages from Catholics urging him to rescind an award he is planning to give to Durbin in November. Cupich, head of the Archdiocese of Chicago, plans to honor the radically pro-abortion senator with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the “Keep Hope Alive” Benefit on November 3. Now, Bishop James Conley of Nebraska has spoken out against the decision. “I too was shocked and bewildered to learn of...

hen President Joe Biden visited Santa Cruz County following the 2023 winter storms, residents responded with pure fanfare. People skipped work and lined the streets with thank-you signs, and parents took their children out of school just for a chance to see the presidential motorcade speed down Highway 1. Amid the wreckage of natural disasters that reshaped swaths of the county, enthusiasm followed Biden from his steps off Air Force One at the Watsonville airport, to the Capitola wharf and back again. In the nearly three years since, the Biden aura has shifted — dramatically. People have increasingly laid the...

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois), who identifies as Catholic, has been named by the Archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Blase Cupich, the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the “Keep Hope Alive” Benefit on November 3. It has already set off the alarms among the clergy and the laity. Leading the criticism is another Illinois bishop, Thomas Paprocki, Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield. “Senator Durbin, who has been banned from receiving Holy Communion in the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois since 2004 for his public support for abortion, should not be celebrated by the Church.” Durbin supports partial-birth abortion, the procedure...

Yesterday afternoon, Cardinal Cupich responded to demands by pro-lifers from across the nation that he rescind his offer to honor Senator Dick Durbin with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Office of Human Dignity and Solidarity’s upcoming ‘Keep Hope Alive’ fundraiser on November 3rd. You can read his statement here. Forgive me for being blunt. This statement is abhorrent. The killing of the defenseless child in the womb is a grave moral evil. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that a person who formally contributes to the procurement of an abortion commits a grave sin and separates himself/herself from...

The mother of Joshua Jahn — the sniper who killed two migrants in a shooting at a Dallas immigration facility — had posted a series of anti-gun rants on Facebook aimed at Republican lawmakers just a few years ago. Sharon Jahn lashed out at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn over their support for the Second Amendment in resurfaced Facebook posts from May 2022. “Governor Abbott, Senator Cornyn and Senator Cruz how does it make you feel that your action to open up gun laws is responsible for the killing of 21 more people?”...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — With China leading the way by announcing its first emission cuts, world leaders said Wednesday they are getting more serious about fighting climate change and the deadly extreme weather that comes with it. At the United Nations high-level climate summit, Chinese president Xi Jinping announced the world’s largest carbon-polluting country would aim to cut emissions by 7% to 10% by 2035. China spews more than 31% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. Xi and Brazil’s leader also took thinly veiled swipes on Wednesday afternoon at U.S. President Donald Trump’s attacks a day earlier on renewable energy...

A 29-year-old man, Joshua Jahn, with ties to North Texas and Oklahoma has been identified as the suspect in a shooting at a Dallas ICE detention center. Two people were killed in the shooting. The suspect is also deceased. The investigation is ongoing, and police have not yet released a motive for the shooting. According to FOX News and FOX 4 sources, the sniper who killed at least two people at the Dallas ICE facility early Wednesday morning was 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. A sniper died from a self-inflicted gunshot early Wednesday morning after he shot three ICE detainees at a...

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, posted an ironic message on Telegram in which he commented on the appearance of the US president Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly, accusing him of casting "a series of political spells" on the theme of Russia's alleged weakness. "Trump has once again crossed the threshold of an alternative reality," Medvedev wrote, referring to a post by the US president that spoke of "Kiev's final victory," "a return to the old borders," "the collapse of the Russian war economy," and "Russia as a paper tiger." In a sarcastic tone,...

The Trump administration signaled a dramatic shift in its approach to the Ukraine conflict Wednesday, with Vice President JD Vance warning that President Donald Trump is "growing incredibly impatient" with Moscow after diplomatic efforts to end the war have faltered. -snip- "He doesn't feel like they're putting enough on the table to end the war," Vance said during remarks in North Carolina, referring to Russian negotiating positions. "If the Russians refuse to negotiate in good faith, I think it's going to be very, very bad for their country." -snip- Secretary of State Marco Rubio reinforced the administration's hardening position during...

Explanation: It was the strongest gravitational wave signal yet measured -- what did it show? GW250114 was detected by both arms of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in Washington and Louisiana USA earlier this year. Analysis showed that the event was created when two black holes, each of mass around 33 times the mass of the Sun, coalesced into one larger black hole with a mass of around 63 solar masses. Even though the event happened about a billion light years away, the signal was so strong that the spin of all black holes, as well as initial ringing...
