'his condition is that of a disabled person" Lawyer Jean Paillot Representing Vincent Lambert's Parents Speaks July 1, 2019 The doctor treating quadriplegic patient Vincent Lambert, 42, at the University Hospital in Reims, France is taking food and water away from him today, beginning the process of Lambert's death. The parents of mentally disabled patient Vincent Lambert, injured in a 2008 motorcycle accident, won a reprieve on May 20th hours after food and water was withdrawn. That's when the Court of Appeal of Paris ruled to stop the killing until a UN panel could review Lambert's case. But late last...

Four days after their prime-time showdown, the tit-for-tat between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden is still going strong. Some Harris allies said Monday they saw sexism and desperation in the backlash from the former vice president's camp. They were outraged after an ally of Biden suggested she had allowed her ambition to get the best of her when she challenged the former vice president’s long opposition to busing for school desegregation. And at least one black leader aligned with a rival campaign rose to Harris’ defense, too. “Why couldn’t she be ambitious? She’s running for president of the United States,”...

Video evidence shows that recycling hurts the environment, and landfills help the environment Below are two videos.The first video shows that much of the recycled garbage from rich countries (the U.K. in this case) gets sent to poor countries, where it just sits there on the ground without any covering or protection, getting blown around, and often ending up in rivers and ultimately the ocean.The second video shows a landfill in a rich country (New York in this case). The landfill is well sealed and covered, and is now a park with grass, trees, plants, and animals.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRQLilXLAIUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zcMfDbxmgURecycling is a scam.

More on my paid blog. But you must be invited. Not just anybody can access my paid blog. So no link here. Sorry. Seriously though, walking barefoot on the beach does make me sleep much better and deeper. With vivid dreams. Or maybe it's the salt air. Maybe it has nothing to do with being barefoot. But it does feel good to be out on the beach with no shoes and spending the day sloshing around in the water and then reading books in a lawn chair. This is the way I would like to live more often. What was...

Can't believe these clowns. It's not very easy to follow their directions and cancel next year's subscription. Renewal should NEVER be automatic. When I 'followed' their directions to cancel I got no confirmation email. Very sleezy. Anyone else with this problem? The 'contact' button lead me to something else that was stupid. Thanks.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims Border Police agents are forcing migrants to drink out of toilets and live under other extreme conditions — while the officers sit back and laugh. “I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me,” the congresswoman tweeted Monday after leaving a US Customs and Border Protection facility in Texas. “Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets,” she said. “This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress.” The New York lawmaker was visiting a number of...

The presidential election is about 500 days away, technology will have its ultimate effect.There is now AI technology for cops to detect deception. Imagine America watching debates while tech tells you who is lying and who is telling the truth,

The lawyer for independent journalist Andy Ngo, who was allegedly beaten up and robbed by antifa members while covering a protest in Portland, Ore., on Saturday, says those responsible for the attack are going to face maximum legal repercussions. “Goodnight everyone except Antifa criminals who I plan to sue into oblivion and then sow salt into their yoga studios and avocado toast stands until nothing grows there, not even the glimmer of a violent criminal conspiracy aided by the effete impotence of a cowed city government,” Harmeet Dhillon wrote on Twitter. After Ngo was admitted to a local hospital following...

Sandra Airey, the Prophecy Lady, is back re-connecting current events to prophecy. In this article she ties a current crisis in Kentucky with Revelation chapter 19. She believes that biblical prophecy is building up before our very eyes. Sandra's husband was reading the latest article from the Courier Journal about Kentucky black vulture attacks. As Sandra says, "as soon as he started reading Goosebumps went all over me. It's like lightning went through me. I immediately remembered the biblical words about...

My 80yr old widowed mother just got a letter from the local office of the USDA *telling* her that their people were going to be on her property doing a 'grazing land inventory' survey using 'equipment'. She was given no choice to opt out of this or any other contact information. What are her rights in this matter? She does NOT want to let strangers with 'equipment' on her property. We've heard too many bad things about abuse of power and 'privilege' from fedgov wrt property rights and land use.

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts may go down in judicial history as the worst Republican SCOTUS pick ever. The man who found Obamacare constitutional by inventing the fiction that it was a tax, has joined the courtÂ’s four liberals to block a citizenship question on the 2020 Census, not because it is unconstitutional, but rather because he didnÂ’t like the Trump administrationÂ’s reasons for asking for it. The man who supervises the FISA Court, which blindly accepted every lie and fake document the Obama FBI and DOJ put before it to justify the deep state coup against the Trump presidency,...

VIDEO A large crowd gathered in Pyongyang to hear the announcement by North Korean officials that President Donald Trump had stepped over the DMZ line into North Korea. As you can see, those officials also seemed to have an agenda of their own.

Killing America With Kindness The Humanitarian Hoax is a deliberate and deceitful tactic of presenting a destructive policy as altruistic. The humanitarian huckster presents himself as a compassionate advocate when in fact he is the disguised enemy. Harvesting is defined as collecting or obtaining a resource for future use. We commonly equate harvesting with agricultural crops - but in the 21st century harvesting has far more to do with political crops - the resource is votes. When the chain is broken the evidence is inadmissible because it may have been tampered with

If Gazan and West Bank Arabs cannot vote in election booths--then Trump should help them vote with their feet President Trump should consider championing legal, voluntary and financially-assisted emigration from Gaza and the West Bank by calling on Jordan and Egypt to open their border crossings and grant residency status to Gazan and West Bank Arabs seeking a better future for themselves and their families. Such action is certainly justified following the rejection of President Trump’s offer to inject US$6.5 billion into the West Bank and Gaza—with both Hamas and the PLO telling Trump they were not prepared to accept...

Independence Day 2019 approaches, the hatred of the Democrat Party is doing in the Free World The 25 (and still counting until their intended Dark Horse emerges) contenders seeking top banana spot in the DNC primary are teaching the masses presidential Election History 101. None of them has anything even remotely positive to say about America or Americans. They just want everyone to know how much they hate President Donald J. Trump, as if hatred of Trump qualifies them to be America’s 46th.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the basketball league will stop using the term "owner" to describe the owners of the teams. "We are sensitive to the feelings of the Black millionaires who make up the overwhelming majority of our players," the Commissioner said. "Given the racist history of America it is deplorable that we have been using this term." Silver acknowledged that "we haven't yet settled on a specific replacement terminology. Some have suggested 'overseers' while others favor 'bloated plutocrats.' I think we'll be doing some market research with polls and focus groups to try to find the right language...

The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” George Orwell, 1984 The algorithmic Memory Hole has arrived. In doing some research recently, I found that I could no longer quickly locate items on Google that were at the top of the first page in the past year or so. These topics, such as the Obama administration keeping children separate from adults, are almost impossible to locate now. Articles “debunking” Obama’s policies being similar to Trump’s are everywhere. And when looking for a current news item, I got a litany of first-tier and second-tier news and...

I stayed up through the night last night to watch South Korea's coverage of the G20, President Trump and President Moon's Summit in S. Korea immediately after the G20, and the historic meeting at the DMZ with our President and Chm Kim. For the first time in history a U.S. PRESIDENT was invited to step foot over the DMZ and enter North Korea! The People of S. Korea were in such hopeful anticipation of that possibility as expressed by one of the news anchors who said if nothing but that face to face with Kim Jung Un and a hello...

Many colleges assign “common readings” to incoming students as an intellectual experience outside the classroom to set the bar for the academic rigor that professors expect of students. This tradition is most students’ first taste of the university. This well-meaning tradition, however, has become highly politicized and the quality of reading has significantly decreased over the years. Works like The Iliad and Catcher in the Rye have disappeared, replaced by books written by comedians from The New York Times best seller list. The classics have been traded out for the ephemeral. This change is emblematic of the university. Incoming students...

When a country trashes democratic rights in the name of protecting women and others from non-existent dangers, does that country still deserve allegiance? Australia has put its most decorated living Catholic in jail over on the basis of one very shaky witness's testimony, contradicted by the other alleged victim and not even coming close to being proof beyond reasonable doubt: that ancient principle of western jurisprudence now trumped by "Believe the victim." Australia has sacked a star footballer for one instagram post which offended homosexuals, but not the other seven groups of sinners named by the footballer as bound for...
