The man who stabbed and killed a UT student in 2017 will be released from a state hospital and will receive court-ordered outpatient treatment, a Travis County judge ruled on Wednesday. Kendrex White, now 29, was arrested for stabbing freshman Harrison Brown, 19, and injuring three others outside of Gregory Gym in May 2017, according to his arrest affidavit.

Judge Tamara Needles heard testimony from White, his mental health providers, his mother and Brown’s family....

A whistleblower doctor and his wife took to X recently to slam a man who is angling to become President Trump’s chief prosecutor in the Southern District of Texas. Dr. Eithan Haim, a surgeon who blew the whistle on illegal child sex change surgeries at Texas Children’s Hospital, and his wife, Andrea, contend that Pearson did nothing to oppose or block their persecution at the hands of the Biden-appointed US Attorney and AUSA Tina Ansari, who later had to recuse herself from the case due to her family’s close ties to the hospital.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Workers in attendance for Friday's United Auto Workers (UAW) watch party feel they've made history. And for those Volkswagen employees who wanted unionization, the third time was the charm. In order to unionize, the UAW needed 50% plus one vote. Both previous UAW elections fell short of this, with 2014's election showing 47%, and 2019's election showing 48%. But Friday night, employees won by a landslide with the official National Labor Relations Board results reporting 2,628-985 votes for union representation. Some who came to watch the vote were from other right-to-work states in the U.S., wanting to...

Almost two years ago, the Texas energy grid came within minutes of total system failure, leaving 4.5 million Texas homes and businesses without power at its peak. After the storm, it was painfully clear that the makeup of the Texas energy grid must be rebalanced, with an emphasis on electricity generated from cheap, plentiful and reliable natural gas and ensuring the natural gas energy supply chain was better weatherized to ensure operation during extreme weather conditions.

Performing gender reassignment on minors is among the evilest actions performed in the United States today. It causes permanent physical and psychological harm that many have categorized as child abuse. It promotes advancing the Cultural Marxist principles of “wokeness” while expanding the LGBTQIA+ agenda. Worst of all, it works to break the connection people have with their Creator.

Health care workers who were fired for not getting a COVID shot have won a major victory.

From the article:Goalposts being moved: Experts generally say at least 70 percent of the population needs to be immune, either by vaccination or natural infection, for the virus to stop spreading. With the highly transmissible delta variant, Berggren believes the percentage of those vaccinated needs to be closer to 90 percent. Unvaccinated are the threat and problem and going to cause more people to die: So what risk do the unvaccinated pose to the vaccinated? Surges in the unvaccinated will undoubtedly fuel more mutations and those mutations will always favor the virus and not the human being. Mutated viruses coming...

If the health risks of COVID-19 aren’t enough to drive more people to get vaccinated, what about the cost of treatment — or even health insurance? In June and July, the estimated costs for treating unvaccinated patients hospitalized for COVID were at least $2.3 billion, according to a recent report by researchers at the Kaiser Family Foundation. In Texas, the total probably surpassed $280 million, although researchers acknowledge the actual burden was probably higher in the state and country. They estimated that 113,000 preventable hospitalizations occurred nationwide at an average cost of $20,000 a person.

A Houston doctor says he is using the anti-parasite medication ivermectin with a combination of drugs to treat COVID-19 patients, despite warnings from federal health officials that it could cause serious harm when used to combat the virus. Dr. Joseph Varon, chief medical officer at United Memorial Medical Center, on Thursday told the Houston Chronicle that he has used ivermectin since the start of the pandemic in all COVID patients. He said he administers a low dosage based on the people’s weight with a cocktail of steroids and vitamins.

Senator Paul then said Dr. Fauci must answer questions on why he funded dangerous human-viral testing even after it was banned here in the US. Senator Paul, “There’s a huge ethical question about the origins of the virus. The ethical question is should we be doing gain of function, should we be upgrading animal viruses in the lab to make them more susceptible to humans… We have to ask Dr. Fauci, why did he in overseeing these labs allowed gain of function? Why did he allow labs to get money to upgrade animal viruses so they can infect humans? We...

When 83 residents and staff at a Texas City nursing home tested positive for the novel coronavirus in April, Dr. Robin Armstrong rolled the dice. Armstrong, a politically connected physician and medical director at The Resort at Texas City, obtained supplies of hydroxychloroquine, a drug not approved for treating COVID-19, from the state and immediately began providing the tablets to 38 residents who had tested positive but not yet shown symptoms.

Over the last few weeks, the country has managed to stabilize the spread of the coronavirus sufficiently enough to begin debating when and in what ways to “reopen,” and to normalize, against all moral logic, the horrifying and ongoing death toll — thousands of Americans dying each day, in multiples of 9/11 every week now with the virus seemingly “under control.” The death rate is no longer accelerating, but holding steady, which is apparently the point at which an onrushing terror can begin fading into background noise. Meanwhile, the disease itself appears to be shape-shifting before our eyes.

His comments come days after Democrats carried legislation through the House for the third time in the last two months.
