This is an Unborn Baby at 22 Weeks. Its Legal to Kill Him in Most States– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Any story about media coverage of abortion in the United States is ultimately an act of frustration. Name the last time a media representative, particularly in the cable universe, showed a baby delivered at 22 weeks of gestation. Or the last time they noted the recent data that nearly 36% of babies born at 22 weeks will survive and 82% will do so at 25 weeks (reports of even better save rates are emerging). How many media outlets share information and stories about the growing range of conditions that are amenable to treatment and can be cured inside the womb, illustrating the separate personhood and “patienthood” of these little ones? Images and accounts like these should be commonplace today, but on 24-hour-a-day networks like CNN and MSNBC they are nowhere to be seen.

According to Don Lemon, the most profitable time of his career was fear-mongering the masses about COVID-19, despite him getting nearly everything wrong. This combined with the mostly peaceful 2020 riots was the highest point of his career.

Presenting the pinnacle of his career:

It turns out, that the vaccine never did what they pretended it would do, as it was never intended to prevent transmission. So while he advocated for you to be shunned from society, he could not have been more wrong if he tried.

The networks spent the better part of last week advocating on behalf of Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia student agitator being processed for denaturalization and deportation due to his activities in material support of Hamas. However, when it came to a Rhode Island doctor who left the country to attend a Hezbollah funeral, ABC and CBS decided to bite their tongues, completely omitting the story from their evening newscasts.

NBC, though, found a bit of time for the story- albeit tucked into their story on deportations of suspected gangbangers and subsequent detention in a Salvadoran supermax:

Excerpt:

 

President Donald Trump on Thursday doubled down on his escalating tariff plans, even as his economic agenda continued to rattle investors and contribute to a weekslong stock market sell-off.

“I’m not going to bend at all,” Trump said when asked about his tariff plans during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Trump specifically said he would not change his mind about enacting sweeping “reciprocal tariffs” on other countries that put up trade barriers to U.S. goods. The White House has said those tariffs are set to take effect April 2.

Trump’s comments came as major stock indexes continued to tumble Thursday, with the S&P 500 falling 10% from its recent highs and entering correction territory.

Excerpt:

Canada launched a complaint with the World Trade Organization on Thursday over US President Donald Trump’s across-the-board imposition of 25-percent tariffs on steel and aluminium imports.

The steep levies, which came into force on Wednesday, contained no exemptions despite countries’ efforts to avert them.

“Canada has requested WTO dispute consultations with the United States regarding the imposition by the United States of import duties on certain steel and aluminium products from Canada,” the WTO said.

“Canada claims that the measures, which terminate Canada’s exemption from additional duties on certain steel and aluminium products and increase duties on aluminium articles, and which took effect on March 12, are inconsistent with US obligations,” the global trade body said.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he plans to put a 200% tariff on alcohol from France and other European nations in the latest escalation of global trade tensions.

The U.S. tariff comes after the European Union moved to reinstate an import tax on American whiskey.

“The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World, which was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States, has just put a nasty 50% Tariff on Whisky. If this Tariff is not removed immediately, the U.S. will shortly place a 200% Tariff on all WINES, CHAMPAGNES, & ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS COMING OUT OF FRANCE AND OTHER E.U. REPRESENTED COUNTRIES. This will be great for the Wine and Champagne businesses in the U.S.,” Trump said on Truth Social.

“This is an absolute honor to sign. What they’ve done is just terrible. It’s a weaponization, you could say weaponization against a political opponent, and it should never be allowed to happen again,” said President Trump last week when he signed the executive order stripping the firm of its clearance.

With U.S. Aid Cuts No Longer a Threat, Rwanda Bets Big on Soft Power – The New York Times
Source Link
Excerpt:

Since an armed rebel group backed by Rwandan troops launched a major offensive in the Democratic Republic of Congo, professional cyclists have raced on lush Rwandan hills, John Legend performed a sold-out concert in the capital, Kigali, and entrepreneurs have gathered at a conference center for a financial technology convention.

Rwanda’s role in the war waged by the rebel group M23 has drawn criticism from the United States, China and the United Nations. But so far the strong words have done little to tarnish the country’s status as a premier destination for investors, tourists, athletes and celebrities.

In his first weeks in office, President Trump ended virtually all American foreign aid, cutting off development programs around the world and leaving the United States with one less negotiating tool when responding to conflicts. Now, with Mr. Trump attending to other crises and slashing government spending, experts say Rwanda is betting on its soft power and reputation as a security partner and investment hub in Africa to minimize the backlash to the offensive.

“Rwanda appears to have calculated that in this moment, the pressure will not be coordinated, and that it can weather the storm,” said Murithi Mutiga, the Africa director at the International Crisis Group.

New York officials fired more than 2,000 prison guards on Monday for not returning to work after a weekslong strike.

Enough correctional officers had returned to work for the state to declare an end to the wildcat strike, a labor action that violated a state law prohibiting strikes by most public employees.

“After 22 days of an illegal strike, the governor and I are happy to report it is now ended,” Corrections Commissioner Daniel Martuscello said during a virtual press briefing.

The state and the guards’ union, the New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association, reached a new deal to end the strike over the weekend, but it was contingent on at least 85% of staff returning to work by Monday morning. While the 85% goal was not met, Martuscello said the state would honor some of the agreement’s provisions, including on overtime work.

The United States ordered the immediate departure of non-emergency personnel from the capital of South Sudan, citing an increase in crime, kidnapping and armed conflict, the Department of State said Sunday.

The travel advisory level for South Sudan remains at Level 4, which means Americans should not travel to the African country.

It also said that the U.S. government has “limited ability to provide emergency consular services to U.S. citizens in South Sudan.”

Excerpt:

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is set to launch the highly anticipated Crew-10 mission, a critical step in ensuring the return of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and her colleague Barry “Butch” Wilmore after an unexpectedly extended stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Originally, Williams and Wilmore were expected to stay for just eight days following their launch aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft in 2024. However, technical failures with the Starliner delayed their return for over eight months.
Now, with the Crew-10 mission scheduled for March 12, 2025, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, SpaceX aims to send a new team of astronauts to the ISS, allowing Williams and Wilmore to finally return home. Their prolonged stay has garnered political attention, with claims and counterclaims about the reasons behind their delay. However, NASA officials have assured that safety, rather than politics, dictated their extended mission.

Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who has already been sentenced to serve more than a decade in prison for leaking hundreds of classified secrets, appeared in front of a court-martial on Monday.

The disgraced member of the U.S. Air National Guard was sentenced to serve 15 years in prison last November after he pleaded guilty to six counts of willful retention and transmission of classified information relating to national defense.

He is appearing in front of a court-martial at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts on Monday, where he faces additional military charges.

The Air Force and Department of Justice determined in May 2024 that Teixeira had “committed violations of the” Uniform Code of Military Justice, while his attorneys have argued that the court-martial essentially amounts to prosecuting him twice for the same offense.

The Department of Education warned 60 universities and colleges they could lose federal funding if they don’t do more to protect Jewish students.

Officials told the institutions they must “fulfill their obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.”

The obligations include “uninterrupted access to campus facilities and educational opportunities.

“The Department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite U.S. campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless antisemitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year. University leaders must do better,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “U.S. colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by U.S. taxpayers. That support is a privilege and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal antidiscrimination laws.”

Brain implants don’t change a person’s sense of self. Hear why– www.sciencenews.org Source Link Excerpt:

In the fifth episode of The Deep End, Jon Nelson describes depression as a “no-casserole disease,” one that people are often afraid to acknowledge because of the stigma around mental health disorders. This episode lets listeners into the experience of having a disease that’s often misunderstood, and why that can be so harmful for people who struggle with depression. There’s a philosophical angle here, too: Where does a person’s self come from? And how does the brain fit into that answer?

TRANSCRIPT

Laura Sanders: This episode deals with mental illness, depression, and suicide. Please listen with care. Previously on The Deep End.

Shannon O’Neill: And DBS is not going to give you happiness. It’s not going to just be a device that turns on happiness 24/7. It’s to get you out of the hole and be on solid ground.

Jon Nelson: So has the device made me happy? The device has made me disease-free. That’s all that I needed it to do. It has not taken away the typical emotions in life that I’m going to have forever, and those are happiness, sadness, anger. I’m gonna have those and I’m going to have to learn how to live with having those.

Excerpt:

 

Proving yet again that they are lying when Democrats say they care about democracy, a so-called “law professor” at UCLA is openly calling for a military insurrection to oust Donald Trump from the White House.

Here is a simple truth: Democrats only care about voting and “democracy” to the point where they begin losing elections. As soon as they start losing, their interest in democracy immediately ends.

As soon as they start losing, it is then that their inner fascists come out to show their true colors.

We see this truism with the hate spewed by UCLA Criminal Law Professor Peter Arenella, who jumped to his radical X account to reveal that he approves of insurrections… as long as they go his way.

Internal polling shows Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) leading as he campaigns for the governorship of his state, Florida Politics reported on Monday.

The news comes after President Donald Trump endorsed Donalds for the 2026 gubernatorial race, calling him a “TOTAL WINNER,” Breitbart News reported on February 20.

According to the Politics article, Donalds is pulling out ahead of two other Republicans who could possibly run for governor:

Fort Lauderdale-based survey, research and strategic consulting firm Fabrizio Lee & Associates, which Donalds hired for his campaign, polled 600 likely Republican Primary voters in Florida from Feb. 26-27. The poll had a 5-percentage-point margin of error.

Pollsters found that 34% of respondents prefer Donalds as Florida’s next Governor, while 30% like First Lady Casey DeSantis for the job.

Three percent said they plan to vote for Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, who is also rumored to be gearing up for a run. The remainder were undecided.

The Politics report noted that as voters learn Donalds is Trump’s pick, his potential for victory grows.

California ‘Lost’ $2.4 BILLION It was Supposed to Spend on Homeless Problem– lidblog.com

Excerpt:

 

California Governor Gavin Newsom and the state’s Democrat-infested legislature designated a whopping $24 billion tax dollars to fix the homeless problem there. Now they say they somehow “lost track” of $2.4 billion of that cash.

This is the same Gavin Newsom who thinks, in his arrogance, that he is a great candidate to become our next president, folks.

An audit has been conducted on this massive waste of money and, low and behold, it turned up huge problems.

According to the Los Angeles Times:

The audit by the global consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal found that the city was unable to track exactly how much it spent on homeless programs and did not rigorously reconcile spending with services provided, making it impossible to judge how well the services worked or whether they were even provided.

Contracts written by LAHSA were vague, allowing wide variations in the services provided and their cost, it said.
