Some of those patients may end up sicker, suggests a recent survey entitled “Not What the Doctor Ordered” from the Doctor-Patient Rights Project (DPRP). Health insurers denied coverage for nearly a quarter of the Americans with chronic conditions or persistent illnesses. In a third of the cases, these patients, all of whom had insurance coverage, said their conditions worsened after being rejected.

Antifa, which is a progressive, anti-fascist, anti-police hate group is making national headlines lately.

The disparate group of masked rioters and protesters have shown up in greater and greater numbers across the country. Their priorities are bound by anti-capitalist, anti-American sentiment and really not much else.

A dreamy summer vacation turned into a messy, sweaty nightmare for 10,000 tourists on the Outer Banks when the power went off and air conditioners stopped humming, and officials ordered visitors to leave Friday because the outage could last days or perhaps weeks.

People and cars lined up to get on ferries, the only way off Ocracoke Island. Gas stations ran perilously low on fuel and ice. Workers at a cafe improvised by using flashlights to make sausage biscuits on a gas stove and people searched for anything cold to eat or drink in the thick, humid air.   Continue reading “‘A Man-Made Disaster.’ 10,000 Tourists Forced to Evacuate North Carolina’s Outer Banks”
