While involuntary euthanasia – the act of ending someone’s life without their consent to spare them pain and suffering – is illegal in the United States, assisted suicide – or voluntary euthanasia – is legal in six U.S. states. In Washington, Oregon, California, Vermont, New Mexico and Montana, doctors may prescribe lethal doses of certain drugs to patients who have made the choice to die, rather than endure further suffering or add to the suffering of their families. Euthanasia is already a hotly debated subject, and it has become even more controversial since it became evident that health insurance companies are using it as a way to avoid properly caring for terminally ill patients.   Continue reading “Health insurance companies now pushing EUTHANASIA to avoid paying disease treatment coverage costs to doctors and hospitals”

Senator Lindsey Graham has warned South Carolinians about the threat of a ‘terrorist nuclear attack’ on the same day that our exclusive high level military intel revealed to us that nuclear warheads were being shipped to South Carolina from a major Texas airforce base under an ‘off the record’ black ops transfer.

Found in the CBS report entitled ‘Graham: Nukes In Hands Of Terrorists Could Result In Bomb Coming To Charleston Harbor’, the report details Graham’s warning that a lack of military action in Syria could result in a nuclear ‘bombing’ in Charleston, South Carolina — the very destination of the black ops nuclear transfer. The CBS report reads:   Continue reading “Remember This? 2013: Senator Warns of Nuke Strike on S. Carolina After Missing Nuke Report”

Autism is one of humanity’s most mysterious afflictions. The disorder, which can hinder communication, empathy and other social skills on a spectrum ranging from mild to severe, affects as many as 1 in 68 children born in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control, up from 1 in 150 at the turn of the century. No one knows exactly what has caused the increase, but one researcher is pointing her finger at a chemical called glyphosate, more widely known as the active ingredient in the ubiquitous weed killer Roundup.  Continue reading “MIT Scientist Uncovers Link Between Glyphosate, GMOs And The Autism Epidemic”

Are there any bad memories in your life that you wish you could simply erase? Researchers might have found a way to do exactly that thanks to the discovery of the enzyme in the brain that plays a pivotal role in storing long-term memories. They believe that this enzyme could be targeted in order to essentially wipe distressing memories out of the minds of people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, like many things that sound too good to be true, this development is raising red flags left and right.   Continue reading “U.S. scientists have developed a “memory wipe” enzyme that can erase memories forever”

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
“It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.  Continue reading “Missing You (for Spike Timmons)”

“If I was a farmer up there, and I see a small patch of Palmer amaranth coming up out of my crop, I’d stop my truck, walk out there, pull them up and go throw them in a ditch someplace,” says Bond, weed science specialist with Mississippi State University’s Delta Research and Extension Center.

Lawmakers in Texas have been attempting to restructure many of the laws governing Child Protective Services in the state, since children have been falling through holes in the system and being permanently damaged in the process. One of the proposed bills under consideration is House Bill 39, introduced by Representative Gene Wu (D-Houston). This bill would push for children taken into the foster care system to receive medical examinations more quickly – within three days for those in urban areas, and within no more than seven days for those in rural areas.   Continue reading “Texas lawmaker claims your child “belongs to the state” and can be forcibly vaccinated”

If ever there were a perfect example of the phrase, “The inmates have taken over the asylum,” this is it.

On Friday the Washington Times reported that in the preceding 72 hours, students had taken over — yes, taken over — Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. The college is known for its uber-Left-wing politics and its policy of appraising student performance not with grades but with “narrative evaluations.”   Continue reading “Evergreen State College students SEIZE campus, begin forced searches of vehicles for white professor who refused to kow-tow to liberal insanity”

On the final day of Alabama’s legislative session, Alabama lawmakers passed HB315, the “midwife decriminalization bill.” After an amendment was added by Senator Paul Bussman of Cullman, it actually became a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) licensure bill, and it was placed on Governor Kay Ivey’s desk at 9:04 pm Friday night for her signature.

There are a number of problematic issues with this amendment, but this is the most serious for birthing mothers in Alabama:   Continue reading “Alabama’s New “Midwife Decriminalization Bill” Actually does the Opposite: It Criminalizes Traditional Midwives”
