NEW: Michigan state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky says she has sterilized herself thanks to President Donald Trump. The pro-abortion advocate (as seen below) says she refuses to be treated like "currency," which is why she sterilized herself. "Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America," Pohutsky said. "I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate." "If you know people who are questioning how serious this is, I’m going to repeat myself: A sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future."

(#AD) — Amy Luciani is speaking out, claiming CPS has been called to her home multiple times over situations involving Dwight Howard and alleging their daughter was recently taken. She also says when police and CPS arrived, Dwight allegedly asked her for an alibi and had his son lie for him after she refused. Whew, Tasha K tried to tell her but let’s keep Amy in our prayers.

I want to thank CNN for making me the face of common sense in the debate over transgenderism and military readiness. After I defended President Trump’s EO—that service members who undergo gender transition surgery are not deployable and weaken military readiness—Kaitlan Collins hosted a transgender activist the following night in an attempt to ‘debunk’ my factual position held by the majority of Americans. Ironically, the person she interviewed underwent gender transition procedures AFTER his combat deployment, which only proves my point. And frankly, it’s unclear whether he actually had surgery or only took hormones. CNN still fails to understand that this is an 80/20 issue. But if they really want to continue this battle, I am happy to keep fighting it. Let’s say it again: THIS IS WHY YOU LOST LAST NOVEMBER.

The woman the was followed off the highway to a parking lot by another woman who was road raging, she felt the camera woman drive poorly and became irate and disgruntled. She keeps inching forward and following the camera woman so that she can voice her displeasure at her. She goes as far as threatening her life and calling for her to be removed from the country. The camera woman, sensing how unhinged she was, made it a point not to provoke her in any way, she remained cheerful and positive in the face of negativity. If you were faced with someone like this, could you keep your cool?

Here is what free health care in Canada means, shocking! I will tell you the free healthcare is not as great as you may think in fact, I think it’s actually named incorrectly, and it should be named free emergency care where if you have a very serious emergency and you need surgery yes, it is free. but my friends that’s also named incorrectly because our "taxes" are so damn high in this country that you’re already paying for it. want to know what else you get with free healthcare? "Long" waiting times everywhere go see your doctor" during season prepare yourself even more your kid has an emergency, so you decide to drive to a Children’s Hospital six-hour diagnostic and anything else that needs to be done.

On April 16th, 2026, K9 Apollo suffered an unexpected medical emergency following an exercise session while at home. Although Apollo was rushed to an emergency veterinarian and underwent emergency surgery, he did not survive. He was just six years old at the time of his unfortunate passing. He was surrounded by his family, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office K9 Unit and numerous EDSO and allied law enforcement agency personnel. Apollo was a purebred German Shepherd from the Czech Republic. He started his law enforcement career with Deputy Hellam in November of 2020 when he was only 10 months old. Cross-trained in handler protection and narcotics detection he made numerous physical apprehensions of dangerous criminals and his mere presence facilitated many more peaceful surrenders. Apollo was a true asset to the communities of El Dorado County as not only an apprehension and detection K9 but also loved for his various demonstrations at schools and public events. His demeanor was a perfect blend of calmness and laser focused seriousness when his talents were needed. Not only was he an ideal Sheriff's K9, but he was also a loving family dog as well.

SOME THINGS CAN JUST NEVER BE FAKED Miss Deborah was diagnosed of brain cancer in October 2023, after an MRI was done because she was unable to use her left hand & left leg. The brain cancer was seen to have spread from the pelvic mass endometrial carcinoma - cancer of the womb (See evidence in attached video as signed by a professor of radiology in UBTH) She was bound to a wheelchair, and from UBTH she was transferred to National Hospital, Abuja for chemotherapy & radiotherapy treatments. Then she began to follow the Commanding The Day Midnight Prayers #CTDMP, claiming all the declarations & joining the prayers earnestly. She was booked for a surgery, but another MRI had to be done. On 12th January 2024, God's servant Dr Paul Enenche took authority over cancers & brain issues at the #CTDMP, while she was in the hospital connected. The following day, another MRI was done to prepare her for surgery & nothing was found. The doctors looked & looked, & behold the cancer was gone. They asked her to go home as there was nothing to operate upon. She was asked to come back in 3 months for another MRI. She was out of her wheelchair & now back to work. THIS CAN ONLY BE GOD!!! #mydunamistestimony #testimony #dominion2025 #dunamis #drbeckypaulenenche #drpaulenenche

Marilyn Monroe died at only 36. Despite being rich/famous, she was super depressed BECAUSE THEY LIKELY STERILIZED HER ⚠️🧵 🚨 I WANT YOU TO LISTEN CLOSELY BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING THIS TO US TOO 🚨 Drug and alcohol culture is designed at its core to wipe out the strength of our population through a combination of distraction and gradual chemical castration. Particularly relevant in the case of Marilyn Monroe, there is also an evil anxiety “medicine” called benzodiazepine (one of many) that was developed by slime-bag “scientists” in the 1950’s and used by many celebrities who were tricked into taking it. Risk of ectopic pregnancy (where the baby grows and dies outside the womb) is 50% HIGHER among women who fill a benzodiazepine prescription before conception. READ THAT AGAIN. Marilyn told close friends that she wanted children more than anything in the world. So badly that she was ready to walk away from Hollywood and start a family… BUT THEY COULDN’T LET THAT HAPPEN‼️ So they pumped her full of alcohol and all sorts of drugs and convinced her she needed to keep taking more. During her marriage to Arthur Miller, she experienced at least two miscarriages as well as an ECTOPIC PREGNANCY (1956–1958) and couldn’t handle the agony. All likely caused by the substances they hooked her on. She would have given up everything she had and been poor a million times over just to start a family. None of it was worth it. Not a single moment. Not a single dollar. She died of an intentional overdose in 1962! Not only are they still doing similar stuff to celebrities, but they have normalized and glorified drugs/alcohol/depression medication use because they don’t want you to have kids either… There is one and only one way to fight back. Stay away from all the substances to the best of your ability, AND HAVE AS MANY KIDS AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN! Worry about the money later. You will never regret bringing another child into this world. Please do it like crazy and you will live the happiest life of anyone to ever walk the earth.

Lamuu is unrecognisable from the calf we rescued and milk only tells part of the story. We rescued her on 4 January 2026 from the northern coast of Kenya. She was around 17 months old, alone, with a snare wound around her front left leg that had sliced through an artery. The snare had been working as a tourniquet – KWS Vet Dr Lawi performed emergency surgery in the field just to keep her alive. Five months on, at our Kaluku Neonate Unit, the ring wound around her leg has healed thanks to daily wound care. She's put on weight thanks to three-hourly feeds and she's bonded closely with her Keepers, following her Keeper Lekoli everywhere – his shadow, our team calls her. Her best friend Subi is alongside her every day and she spends her day among our orphan-human herd. Lamuu has years of care ahead before she is ready to return to the wild. Adopting Lamuu helps to fund the milk, her Keepers, and the support structure she needs for a wild future. Adopt Lamuu:

Dear Doug Ford, Sylvia Jones and our entire Provincial Government. I've written you this video essay—recorded while my child underwent surgery—only after 36 hours of sleep deprivation and social maneuvering to get our healthcare system to pay attention to my daughter's acute appendicitis. This would be unacceptable if my daughter were unique—but she's not. Her case of appendicitis is as routine and standard as emergency surgeries can get. And if we botch it so badly on something so straightforward, then all Ontarians should be very, very concerned about our future health prospects. In my anger from the last 24 hours, it's tempting to blame St. Mary's Hospital and Grand River Hospital. Both hospitals did an atrocious job of prioritizing care for my daughter. But I know that blaming these institutions, and especially the healthcare professionals within them, would be misplaced. These are good, hardworking, caring people, who have been trapped in the impossible place of running emergency departments that are so wholly under capacity there's simply no way for them to meet their mandate. That is unacceptable. For as long as I've been alive, Ontario Ministry of Health has provided the healthcare system that we all know and hate. During the triage at Grand River Hospital—I told the triage nurse that I was going to very publicly share our experience. Do you know what her response was? "Good. Please do!" Was her reply. She's spent much of her career raising the alarm of how our emergency rooms are failing our citizens and her—along with her colleagues—have been entirely ignored. For our children and for our seniors. For our doctors and our nurses. Do better. For all of us.
