Such material is standard fare in the anti-abortion underground – a world in which newsletter writers ponder whether it would have been better to stone Gunn to death. Some activists, like John Burt, whom Griffin names as his chief guide to anti-abortion doctrine, say they draw the line at homicide: “I can’t picture Jesus Christ walking in anywhere with a .45 and blowing people away.” But others, like former minister Paul Hill, calls murder “defensive action” if it saves unborn lives....
Others develop proptosis as a result of various health conditions. The most common cause of proptosis is a thyroid condition called Graves’ disease. Up to 50% of people with this condition develop Graves’ ophthalmopathy, or thyroid eye disease (with eye symptoms like proptosis). Symptoms The main symptom of proptosis is an abnormal protrusion (bulging) of the eyes. Proptosis can result in the bulging out of one eye (unilateral) or both eyes (bilateral)....
A judge on Friday unsealed an inventory list showing what FBI investigators took during last month’s search of Trump’s Florida residence. According to CNN, the list revealed confidential and classified documents at the property had been mixed together with items including newspaper and magazine articles, clothing, and gifts. During an interview on CNN, Mariotti was asked about the state of the documents found at Mar-a-Lago. “You mentioned the folders with the classified markings being among the things that were recovered....
Last week, prosecutors told U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken that jurors will likely hear about how Parnas and Igor Fruman, a Soviet-born Florida businessman, tried to boast of their influence as international fixers by sharing photos of themselves with Trump and Giuliani. Parnas and Fruman assisted Giuliani in seeking damaging information about President Joe Biden in Ukraine during Biden’s campaign, pleaded guilty in another trial for illegal campaign contributions through a corporate entity to GOP political committees....
Benefits of Surgery The goal of prostate surgery is to resolve problems caused by your prostate gland. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland of the reproductive system that is located between the bladder and the penis. Disorders of the prostate are usually a result of an enlarged prostate gland, which can wrap around the urethra and obstruct the flow of urine. Prostate enlargement is common in men as they age. This type of prostate enlargement is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)....
Not long ago, sun-protective clothes meant heavy fabrics and boring styles. But today Coolibar and its competitors are providing more comfortable materials, prettier fashions and attractive colors. Doctors welcome the trend. Sunblock, they note, is great, but few people apply enough. (A recent study found that almost half of teens got their worst burn of the summer while wearing it.) “The beauty of sun-protective clothing is that you don’t have to reapply it every couple hours or worry about missing an area,” says Florida dermatologist Susan H....
The violence erupted in the country’s largest city of Abidjan on Sunday, and continued into Monday. More than 100 protesters began dismantling the test center, according to Reuters, prompting police to use tear gas to try and disperse them. The demonstrators feared that the facility would accept sick patients, thus spreading the pandemic through the Yopougon area of the city. The country has thus far recorded 323 confirmed COVID-19 cases and three deaths, and has been under a state of emergency since March 23....
The demonstration came as the university suspended all fraternity activities, including social events, after a freshman who attended a Phi Gamma Delta party had to be transported to a hospital. Some of the protesters outside the fraternity house chanted “Stop the hazing. We want justice,” the Columbia Missourian reported. “Hazing has gone on for too long, and it shouldn’t take someone almost dying for the university to do something about it,” student Olivia Sommer said....
Most rallies were organized by the Protect the Results coalition, which drew hundreds of protesters to gather with anti-Trump signs that decried white supremacy and fascism and called to abolish the Electoral College. Others held up signs and banners displaying the phrase, “Every Vote Counts, Count Every Vote” and similar sentiments. In New York City, the march started at the New York Public Library on 42nd Street and continued down Fifth Avenue, toward Washington Square Park....
This has been the theme, mission, and email signature of the moment since the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic in March. Social distancing mandates are a crucial part of staying safe and preventing disease transmission. But in the wake of George Floyd’s death on May 25, thousands are marching, protesting, and rallying together—making social distancing safety measures difficult to maintain in these situations. “We know there is a risk [for COVID-19 exposure]....
However, on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Michel Moore directly blamed “challenging conditions officers faced” during the recent protests for a rise in coronavirus cases among the LAPD’s workforce. In the last week, cases among LAPD workers rose from 170 to 206. “This was a 21 percent increase and is about twice the rate of our historic rate of change over the history of the pandemic,” Moore said, noting that most of the new cases occurred among officers and “dozens” of civilian employees, according to the Los Angeles Times....
Zachary Rehl, leader of the Philadelphia chapter of the Proud Boys organization, faces charges of conspiracy, disorderly conduct and obstruction of an official proceeding in relation to his alleged participation in the riot. On Saturday, Rehl’s defense attorney, Jonathon Moseley, wrote in a brief: “Actually, the Proud Boys primarily came to Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021, to patrol the perimeter of the crowds and the places where crowds were gathered to defend vulnerable demonstrators against violent attacks from ANTIFA, not unlike what Kyle Rittenhouse did in Kenosha, Wisconsin,” he wrote....
PP rash often occurs on the trunk and neck, but it can appear anywhere, including the face and scalp. It is also associated with conditions that produce ketosis (when your body uses stored fat rather than glucose for energy), including restricting food intake and diabetes. For this reason, healthcare providers sometimes refer to it as “keto rash.” This article explains the link between prurigo pigmentosa and diet, which foods can help the condition, and which ones to avoid....
The quick Digitimes report reads “claims about TSMC having yield rates issues with its 7nm process manufacturing AMD chips for Sony’s PlayStation 5 (PS5) games console are highly questionable, according to sources from Taiwan’s semiconductor supply chain.” This news arrives two days after a Bloomberg report in which the publication’s sources alleged production yields as low as 50 percent might mean there could be fewer PS5s on store shelves this holiday season....
Here is a breakdown of the latest information. Best Buy PS5 Restock Reputable industry analyst Matt Swider has reported that a PS5 drop could be taking place sometime this week at Best Buy. His sources (who are in charge of console inventory for the retail chain) have indicated that the “add-to-cart” button might be going live in the coming days. While this could just be a rumor, Swider’s contacts rarely steer him wrong when it comes to these things, and he has accurately predicted the last few restocks....
Celebrities and influencers alike have endorsed the drug as a fat-melting miracle, and the hashtag #ozempic has already amassed over 250 million views on TikTok. In October, Elon Musk revealed that his weight loss transformation is the result of fasting and Ozempic’s sister drug, Wegovy. “These agents are incredibly effective,” Dr. Sultan Linjawi, an endocrine and diabetes specialist, told Newsweek. “Clinical trials of these drugs have demonstrated really phenomenal diabetes improvements and typically, depending on the drug, 3 to 6 kilograms in weight loss in the context of the clinical trial....
“We expect over 80 million hard-working Americans will get the direct deposit by this Wednesday,” said U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin at a Monday press briefing. While the process of providing Americans with their money began on Saturday, many were still waiting on Wednesday. “Thanks to hard work and long hours by dedicated #IRS employees, Economic Impact Payments are going out on schedule, as planned, without delay, to the nation,” the IRS tweeted Wednesday....
It all started when Politico’s chief White House correspondent Ryan Lizza shared a photo of a rioter inside the Capitol carrying a lectern. Lizza captioned it, “Via Getty, one of the rioters steals a podium from the Capitol.” One Twitter user who responded to the post was under the impression that “Via Getty” was the name of the man depicted in the photo. “BOOM! WE got one of these maga CHUDS!...
