Australia Euthanizes Disabled Patient After Denying Him Disability Support– www.lifenews.com

I really do try to write about other issues. But the awfulness keeps on coming.

Yesterday, I called attention to the Canadian bioethicist who claimed that lethal jabs are no different than hip replacements. Today, I came across an awful story out of Australia in which Tony Lewis, age 71 and experiencing Motor Neurone Disease — what we call ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease — has asked for euthanasia because he was denied sufficient financial support for his disability. From the Hello Care report:

A Queensland man with Motor Neurone Disease has chosen to access voluntary assisted dying after being denied support through the National Disability Insurance Scheme because of his age, reigniting concerns about Australia’s two-tier approach to disability and aged care.

Tony Lewis is 71. Diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease last year, he falls outside the eligibility criteria for the NDIS, which excludes people diagnosed after the age of 65. Instead, he must rely on the aged care system, where funding levels and response times are widely acknowledged as inadequate for fast progressing neurological conditions.

Minnesota Dems Pushing A Nullification Crisis Over Immigration– thefederalist.com

The videos coming out of Minneapolis, of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers apprehending illegal immigrants in the streets while having to fight off aggressive and sometimes violent anti-ICE activists, are the predictable result of a Democrat strategy that amounts to nullification.

I mean nullification in the historical sense, like the Nullification Crisis of 1832 when South Carolina declared federal tariffs to be null and void within the boundaries of the state, and President Andrew Jackson threatened to send in the U.S. Army to enforce federal law.

Good news, everybody! We’re well on our way to making “The Purge” a year-long reality.

You know “The Purge” — the movie franchise in which, for one night a year, all lawlessness is tolerated so that humanity can get it out of their system. It’ll take a while to get there, sure. But for the second time in five years, leftists in general and Minneapolis leftists in particular want to give the theory that undergirds it a trial run by deciding which laws we can choose to obey.

Trump says he may tariff countries that don’t ‘go along’ with Greenland plans – National– globalnews.ca

U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a bipartisan Congressional delegation sought to lower tensions in the Danish capital.

Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.”

During an unrelated event at the White House about rural health care, he recounted Friday how he had threatened European allies with tariffs on pharmaceuticals.

Tensions remain high in Minneapolis in the aftermath of the killing of Renee Good by a federal agent. About 3,000 immigration officers are either continuing their operations in Minnesota or are en route to deploy in the state.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the Trump administration, accusing federal immigration authorities in Minnesota of racial profiling and unlawful arrests, as Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to the widespread protests against the federal immigration operations.

Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, has urged demonstrators to “speak out loudly, urgently but also peacefully” and made a direct appeal to the president to “turn the temperature down.”

Minnesota State Sen. Omar Fateh (D-MN) is calling on Democrat Gov. Tim Walz to impose a statewide eviction moratorium, arguing that residents are too “terrified” to go to work due to heightened immigration enforcement.

Fateh claims Minnesota residents are struggling to make ends meet because of the increased presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state.

However, ICE operations only target illegal aliens, most of whom are criminals, and not law-abiding American citizens.

A torrent of violence, including reported beheadings and a prison break by Islamic State terrorists, erupted in Syria on Monday following the signing of an agreement between the jihadist federal government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa and the U.S.-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

The SDF and associated Kurdish political arms had enjoyed years of semi-autonomy in the region known as Rojava, or Syrian Kurdistan, during the rule of deposed dictator Bashar Assad. Assad fled to Russia following the collapse of his military in late 2024, leaving the country in the hands of Sharaa’s Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an al-Qaeda offshoot.

“Today, we are responding to the moment. We are setting the tone for what Virginians can expect over the next four years.”

Newly inaugurated Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed 10 executive orders on her first day in office, including one ending cooperation between law enforcement in the state and federal immigration authorities.

The new Democrat leader said in a statement, “Today, we are responding to the moment. We are setting the tone for what Virginians can expect over the next four years: pragmatic leadership focused on lowering costs and delivering results. My administration is getting to work on Day One to address the top-of-mind challenges facing families by lowering costs for Virginians in every community, building a stronger economy for every worker, and making sure that every student in the Commonwealth receives a high-quality education that sets them up for success. These executive orders represent the first steps in our work to create a stronger, safer, and — critically — more affordable future for our Commonwealth.”

The first order signed by Spanberger directs her secretaries and all executive branch agencies to submit reports “identifying immediate, actionable budgetary, regulatory, or policy changes that would reduce costs for Virginians,” with the reports being required to address “cost savings in areas such as housing, healthcare, energy, education, childcare, and everyday living expenses (groceries), where relevant to the agency or secretariat.”

Minnesota’s Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison is rejecting assertions that anti–Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators who stormed a church in his state over the weekend may have violated federal civil rights laws.

Ellison defended the mod, despite the Department of Justice (DOJ) confirming it is reviewing the incident, which appeared to be provoked by former CNN anchor Don Lemon.

Top DOJ officials have said they are examining whether activists who disrupted Sunday services at Cities Church in St. Paul violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act or the Ku Klux Klan Act, both of which carry potential criminal penalties.

An Episcopal Bishop in New Hampshire says we are entering a new martyr era, where Christians may be called upon to martyr themselves. No, not in the name of God. In the name of protecting criminals and sex offenders in this country illegally. Not even American-born criminals and sex offenders. Just the ones that ICE wants to deport.

Granted, I am the least religious person here at Louder with Crowder and the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website. So if someone else can quote the scripture back to me that validates Episcopal Bishop Robert Hirschfeld preaching at a Renee Good vigil (obviously) that Christians best be prepared to die in the name of politics, I’d be curious about the passage

I have told the clergy of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire that we may be entering into that same witness. And I’ve asked them to get their affairs in order, to make sure they have their wills written, because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies, to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable.

Over the Christmas break some of you might have heard that on December 30, 2025, Kiano Vafaeian was euthanized in Vancouver after being approved by Dr. Ellen Wiebe, a physician who has ended over 400 lives through Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program.

Kiano suffered from diabetes, had lost vision in his left eye, and struggled with depression. His mother, Margaret Marsilla, had successfully stopped his first assisted suicide attempt back in 2022 through a public petition campaign. But this time, she couldn’t save him.

“No compassion. No protection. No effort to save a life, only to end it,” Marsilla wrote.

Despite Canada’s ban on MAID for mental illness until 2027, Dr. Wiebe did find a loophole in the system. Kiano was approved for death — not treatment, not therapy, not help, but death.

Virginia legislators took a radical step forward in altering the state’s constitution on Friday, passing an extreme abortion amendment that will go to a people’s vote in November.

The Virginia “Fundamental Right to Reproductive Freedom” Amendment passed the House on Wednesday and the Senate on Friday along party lines, the result of a multi-year effort by Democrats to dismantle the few protections in place for the unborn in the state.

The amendment incorporates broad language and excludes basic safeguards. It includes no age limit, no parental rights, no ban on partial-birth abortions, no required medical treatment for babies born alive after a botched abortion, and no restrictions on taxpayer funding. The language goes so far as to protect anyone “aiding” a woman in killing her unborn child. Freedom of conscience protections are completely absent.

On Monday’s edition of The View, to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, actress Pam Grier was teed up by co-host Sunny Hostin to recall the racism she experienced while growing up in Columbus, Ohio in the 1950s. According to her, her mom would often have to get her and her siblings to avert their eyes lest they see a body hanging from a tree. But according to the Ohio Lynching Victims Memorial, the last lynching was in 1911. Other details about the story were questionable as well.

Fresh from defending discrimination against white people earlier in the show, Hostin teed up Grier to share her experiences with racism, specifically during her time in Columbus, Ohio:

But let me ask you this: because you’ve been the first so many times, but you were the first black woman on the cover of Ms. magazine in 1975. You paved the way for black female representation in the stunt industry as well. But before breaking all of those barriers in Hollywood and other places, you faced a lot of racism growing up in Columbus, Ohio. How did that shape you?

It could be the premise of a Monty Python sketch or a Mel Brooks movie, but it’s a question every leftist insurrectionist in Minneapolis, etc. should ask themselves.

As others have noted, the left wanted Renee Good’s death to be the second coming of George Floyd. But there were problems. There was the footage of the incident, especially from the ICE agent’s bodycam, that clearly showed him being struck by Good’s 4,000-pound Honda. There was Elon Musk’s ownership of X, which allowed actual facts to stand against leftist lies like Good was just dropping off her kids at school. And there’s the problem that Good was white.
