Blaze News original: Top 5 insane quotes from the WNBA’s biggest — and weirdest — season ever
The WNBA has wrapped up its most notable season since its inception, breaking multiple viewership records while increasing attendance across the league.
The rookie season of Caitlin Clark saw ticket prices skyrocket wherever she played, with games even having to change locations to accommodate the fans who wanted to see her.
‘I’m speaking on a particular group that is motivated by hate and destruction.’
But with more eyeballs came far more scrutiny of — and pressure on — the players. Not only did many players buckle under their newfound fame but so did owners and reporters.
What resulted from this historic season wasn’t a showering of praise on the league’s new fans or an increased appreciation for the sport but rather a historic series of blunders.
5. WNBA owner calls Clark fans ‘racist’
Typically, sports franchise owners want to pull fans into arenas, not alienate them. That note seemingly didn’t make its way to the desk of Renee Montgomery, former WNBA star and part owner of the Atlanta Dream.
Not only did Montgomery claim there was a prevalence of “bots” and “faux fans” within Clark’s massive online following, but also the owner doubted that the new star’s fans even watched her games.
“I’m speaking on a particular group that is motivated by hate and destruction,” Montgomery said in a clip she posted to X.
“I like when our fans are so engaged and so passionate that they just don’t like the other team. But being racist, sexist, and violent with your words — come on now, what are we doing? … That’s not acceptable,” she added.
For some reason, the owner even brought Boston Celtics fans into the mix and accused them of “racist treatment of players.”
The Dream finished 15-25 and were swept in the playoffs. Karma?
4. Reporter says a single MAGA hat made a WNBA game ‘unsafe’
It wasn’t enough in the 2024 season simply not to be a fan of Clark. Any connection to conservative politics that possibly could have been made was made — and then connected to some form of hatred.
Take WNBA writer Frankie de la Cretaz. The “they/them” journalist attended Game 2 of the playoff series between Clark’s Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun.
De la Cretaz’s reporting included citing the game’s “vibe” as “horrendous” while also claiming she and her “partner” told off a “racist” fan sitting behind them. The fan’s crime was daring to mock one of the Sun players for wearing fake eyelashes on the court.
The writer was even more outraged by “a man in a MAGA hat” and a woman wearing a “ban nails” shirt. The fan also sported props of giant fingernails on her hands.
When all was said and done, de la Cretaz said she’d be writing a scathing review about her horrible experience before adding, “I’ve never felt unsafe at a WNBA game & tonight I did.”
3. Players complain their private planes are too small
After Clark was photographed on a luxury private flight — likely due to her being responsible for the massive attention the league was getting — players began demanding similar amenities.
Did they take their issues to WNBA brass and ownership? Of course not. Instead they took to their social media pages and press interviews.
Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese was the first to complain, posting a photo of herself seemingly embarrassed to be on a commercial flight.
On her Instagram story, Reese showed herself in sunglasses and a paper mask with the caption: “Just praying that this is one of the last commercial flights the Chicago Sky has to fly.” A second caption read, “Practicing gratitude & patience as the league introduces charter flights for all teams.”
Phoenix Mercury guard Sophie Cunningham went about her request far more arrogantly, saying, “Butterflies and rainbows now that we got the charters” before adding that the private planes weren’t big enough.

“We are so grateful to be able to start chartering, but with that, there’s a lot of things that need to be adjusted,” she said during an interview. “Our bags and some of our people can’t fly with us because our charter is too small. While other teams get big planes.”
Cunningham seems to be unaware that while the league is losing a reported $50 million in 2024, its private plane program is responsible for half that debt at $25 million.
2. A’ja Wilson claims black players don’t get endorsements — and is immediately proven wrong
In what may have been a cruel joke by a reporter, Las Vegas Aces player A’ja Wilson made wild, racially charged accusations, only to be immediately proven wrong.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Wilson claimed that race has played a “huge” role in Clark’s popularity while adding that black women aren’t seen as marketable and, despite what they may accomplish, are still ignored.
“It doesn’t matter what we all do as black women; we’re still going to be swept underneath the rug,” Wilson argued.
To the surprise of very few, Wilson’s claims were completely destroyed before they were even published.
A week before the interview went public, Wilson signed a deal with Gatorade. Then, on May 11, Wilson and Nike announced that she would be endorsed and given her own signature shoe.
On May 12, Wilson’s interview with the Associated Press was published, leaving egg all over her face.
Wilson called it a “dream” of hers to be able to work with such an iconic brand as Nike, but she failed to mention anything about being unmarketable due to her race.
1. Cameron Brink accidentally calls her teammates ugly
The most jaw-dropping quote of the season came from the right place — that is, if you believe woke culture and social justice are forces for good.
When Cameron Brink gave an interview about “tired narratives,” she focused on the idea of breaking stereotypes and tropes. However, the 22-year-old actually just ended up calling her teammates ugly and manly.
‘Some of my teammates go by they/them pronouns.’
In an attempt to spew woke dogma, Brink initially went with race as a factor in popularity: “I will acknowledge there’s a privilege for the younger white players of the league. That’s not always true, but there is a privilege that we have inherently, and the privilege of appearing feminine.”
Your browser does not support the video tag.

After stating there is pressure for women to appear womanly, Brink attempted to explain why her more “masculine” teammates should be more popular despite their looks.
“Some of my teammates are more masculine. Some of my teammates go by they/them pronouns,” she said. “I want to bring more acceptance to that and not just have people support us because of the way that we look. I know I can feed into that because I like to dress femininely, but that’s just me. I want everyone to be accepted — not just paid attention to because of how they look.”
Brink has since continued to dress like a woman.

Build a basic 2-person, 72-hour emergency kit for $115
When I recommend that people put together some emergency kits, no matter where they live, I often get replies like “Uhhhh, actually, some people are poor and can’t afford to be prepared.”
So I decided to go out and prove them wrong.
For $115 (minus the price of the rucksack, as you can use literally any bag without having to break the bank), I put together a very basic 72-hour emergency kit for two people.
This price does not include the plain household items you should have, like a change of clothes, extra socks, copies of all important documents, some basic toiletries, and a few other items.
Also, some of these picks are not “best in class,” given the strict budget. I’ll break down the choices below.
First up: Some basic survival items
2 emergency blankets
Pack of 2 lighters — if for some reason those aren’t adequate, a pack of stormproof lighters. BiC lighters are some of the most useful yet forgotten survival items.
2 emergency ponchos
Basic fixed-blade knife
Kruschiki Supply Company
Now for the crucial matter of hydration
3 liters of water: This is certainly not enough water for two people over three days, which is why we’ve also included a
Water filter: This filter is what they had at Walmart. There are certainly better options, but you’ll have to spend more money on them. While filters like these do work, I find them extremely inconvenient. I would have preferred tablets or a solution, but in the absence of those, this will have to do. You also have the option to boil water, using your matches or lighter and the metal mess kit. I would recommend the bottled water be used as a last resort.
Liquid IV electrolyte mixes are crucial to fending off dehydration.
Kruschiki Supply Company
And food
Water may be more important, but food is still critical. These may not be the most palatable choices, but, again, we’re going for as cheap as possible.
We chose these specifically because you can cycle them into your regular food use before they expire, so you can always keep them up to date.
You can definitely add more food to your kit, but keep in mind that we’re on a budget here.
6 cans of knock-off Spam
3 packs of ready-made rice
Surplus mess kit for heating food, boiling water, etc. We are selling these specific Polish models for $14.99.
Kruschiki Supply Company
Last but not least, some basic first aid supplies
Kruschiki Supply Company
Again, there are better options, but this is fairly decent for an extreme budget: BleedStop and a basic first aid kit.
All in all, this is definitely a good start. No one says you have to buy it all at once, but this is obtainable very quickly for even those on the strictest of budgets.
If you’re interested in a medium ALICE rucksack, we currently
have them in stock for only $49.99. This is a great ruck for a great price, but once again, an old backpack or duffel will do the job as well.
A backpack with everything I’ve listed above certainly isn’t the be-all, end-all of emergency kits; then again, it”s only meant to tide you over for the first 72 hours until help arrives.
Don’t hesitate to adapt this for your specific environment and circumstances, as nobody knows your situation better than you. And remember: There is no excuse for not being prepared.

FEMA favors migrants over hurricane victims, and that’s a fact
Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc on communities in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas in September. Since then, the pain and suffering of this natural disaster have been multiplied by the Biden-Harris administration’s lackluster response. To date, however, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has failed to take responsibility for its failure.
The agency needs a fact-check. And the American people deserve one.
The simple truth is that FEMA’s spending reflects its DEI agenda.
For example, FEMA denies rumors that it distributes aid based on demographic characteristics. But FEMA’s own website says otherwise. The agency considers factors such as race, ethnicity, and English proficiency when granting aid. This reflects the Biden-Harris administration’s insistence since the very first day of the administration that “equity” would be its guiding principle.
This has been especially detrimental in North Carolina, where FEMA’s DEI-based formulas factor racial and minority status into “social susceptibility,” a main component of the National Risk Index score. This score helps FEMA determine which areas to prioritize for aid, and it could put predominantly white areas at a significant disadvantage.
Consider places like Buncombe County. Hurricane Helene killed at least 57 people there, the largest death toll of any single county that we know of so far. But because Buncombe County has a nearly 90% white population, it has a “relatively low” NRI score, which could help explain why the agency’s aid hasn’t arrived in a timely manner.
FEMA also claims it has not allocated any money to illegal aliens over American citizens. FEMA’s “fact-check” page states: “Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts.”
But this claim is a dodge at best. It does not address the main concern: that this administration has granted over $1 billion to organizations that provide illegal aliens with transportation and housing services, instead of using that money for disaster relief. FEMA’s effort to sidestep the truth by citing a technicality — the fact that disaster relief and illegal alien services grants are separate funds — is shameful. Americans deserve better.
The simple truth is that FEMA’s spending reflects its DEI agenda. FEMA spent $1 billion on illegal alien services instead of disaster relief resources that could have mitigated the deadly impact of recent hurricanes.
In 2023, Joe Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, which allocated $350 million for humanitarian aid through FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter Program-Humanitarian. The administration then diverted resources and authority from agencies responsible for combatting illegal immigration, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The DHS Appropriations Act of 2023 directed CBP to transfer $800 million of its fiscal year 2023 funds to finance FEMA’s EFSP-H program, which was rebranded as the Shelter Services Program. In fiscal year 2024, FEMA’s SSP used $650 million to support the transportation and housing of illegal aliens within the country through non-governmental organizations.
Where is the money actually going? The ESFP-H/SSP distributes funds to organizations assisting illegal aliens encountered by the Border Patrol, covering expenses such as hotel lodging for aliens.
The Biden-Harris administration specifically requested congressional funding for the ESFP-H program, despite previous administrations supporting its dissolution or recommending that budget authority be transferred from FEMA to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The DHS Appropriations Act of 2023 directed CBP to transfer $800 million of its fiscal year 2023 funds to finance FEMA’s EFSP-H Program as it transitioned into the new Shelter Services Program. In fiscal year 2024, FEMA’s SSP had $650 million to fund the transportation and housing of illegal aliens within the country through nonprofit organizations.
While illegal aliens profit from this system, Americans are suffering, and not just from recent hurricanes. For example, this administration allocated more FEMA funds to illegal aliens than to recovery efforts in Maui after last year’s wildfire disaster.
The White House bragged about sending $330 million in federal grants and disaster loans to Maui to help the island recover from a series of devastating wildfires. However, those fires killed at least 100 people and caused an estimated $14 to $16 billion in damages, according to AccuWeather.
In contrast, President Biden and Kamala Harris allocated more than $1 billion to illegal aliens in fiscal years 2023-2024 alone, revealing the administration’s priorities.
At every turn, Biden and Harris have used FEMA to facilitate mass illegal migration rather than preparing the agency to fulfill its intended mission of disaster response.
None of this should come as a surprise. FEMA’s strategic plan reflects the DEI agenda that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have made a core pillar of their administration.
The agency’s top goal, “Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management,” has benefited illegal aliens entering our country more than American citizens suffering from historic natural disasters.

Man’s mummified corpse decomposed in bathtub for months while 7 burglary suspects moved in to steal his property, police say
Georgia police sent on a welfare check said they found evidence that a group of people had moved into a dead man’s home and stolen his property while he decomposed in a bathtub for months.
Cobb County Police said they were called to the residence in Smyrna, a suburb of Atlanta, in early October by people concerned about the absence of 71-year-old Robert Westbrook.
‘It’s a shame and it’s sad. It’s just sad. To take advantage of a dead person is just sick.’
After entering the man’s home, they found his body in a bathtub.
“He was in a severe state of decomposition. It’s called mummification,” said Detective Daniel Goduto.
They believe that Westbrook’s body had been decomposing for about three months.
And in that time, a group of burglars had moved into the home to ransack his belongings and steal whatever they could, police said.
“Drawers were overturned. His master bedroom was completely just disheveled,” Goduto continued. “But then, there were items consistent with somebody still living there. The trash looked like it was taken out regularly. It looked like there was stuff in the garbage can that was fairly new.”
A day later, a neighbor called police to let them know there were people in the man’s driveway. Police responded and found four people loading Westbrook’s property into their car.
Westbrook’s car was also missing, and police were able to trace it to a gas station, where they found three other burglary suspects.
Police said they were using his credit cards and forging checks to steal his money. The suspects face a slew of charges, including burglary and fraud.
“It goes to show their moral compass, if you will,” Goduto said. “I mean, they broke into someone’s home. They saw him deceased on the ground and instead of saying, ‘Hey, we messed up. Let’s call 911. We found this guy dead,’ they decided to just live there.”
Westbrook is believed to have died of natural causes. When police tried to contact his family, they found that all of his relatives were dead.
One neighbor told WSBT-TV that she didn’t know Westbrook had passed away because he often kept to himself.
“It’s a shame and it’s sad. It’s just sad,” said Sonya da Silva. “To take advantage of a dead person is just sick.”
Scenes from the home can be viewed on WSB-TV’s news video on YouTube.

‘Oh my God, f*** you for that one’: Woman screams profanities over pro-Trump lawn signs on viral doorbell video
A Ring doorbell video is going viral on social media after an unhinged woman was captured screaming profanities outside a home over the family’s pro-Trump lawn signs.
‘You are voting for the devil, don’t you know that?!’
The unidentified woman accosted the residents of the house and berated them for posting the lawn signs before walking away.
“I’d like to know how you can vote for!” she yelled at the door.
“Are you the one that always walks by here screaming at people?” the homeowner responded via the camera. “Because a lot of people walk by and scream.”
“You are voting for the devil, don’t you know that?” she asked emphatically. “Why are you voting for him?”
“Because I believe he is the moral candidate,” the homeowner responded.
“Oh, my God, f*** you for that one!” the woman yelled. “That’s moral?!”
“That’s how your side acts,” the homeowner said.
“Oh, my God! He is the most immoral person. Oh, wow!” the woman replied.
“Oh, f*** you, yeah!” she added while stomping away.
“I’m sorry! Have a nice day!” the homeowner said.
“F*** you!” she shouted back.
The video was posted to social media by the popular Libs of TikTok account, where it quickly garnered over 3.8 million views. Many of the responses mocked and ridiculed the bizarre interaction.
“That is a mentally disturbed person egged on by a deceptive, immoral media. They have been programmed by deceit. They’ll never be normal again,” read one response.
A recent poll found that 70% of Americans were concerned that violence may erupt after the election, and over half said they were worried that the election may signal the end of democracy.

Listen to Mark Cuban’s INSANE explanation of why Biden and Harris failed with the border
Gone are the days when blue cities volunteer to be sanctuaries for immigrants. Gone are the days of Kamala Harris saying she wants to decriminalize illegal border crossings (although she probably still believes in it).
At this point, everyone is in agreement that the open border is one of America’s most glaring problems.
Even DEI-loving, unigender-dressing Mark Cuban thinks the border under the Biden-Harris administration has been problematic, but his reasoning for why it got that way is where Cuban, once again, becomes a laughingstock.
Dave Rubin plays the clip of Cuban telling CNN’s Erin Burnett why border crossing got out of hand under the Biden administration and why Kamala will be better for the border than Donald Trump.
“So when it comes to criminalizing and not criminalizing crossing the border, I mean, that is just so stark, but you view that as an evolution?” said Burnett.
“Here’s my opinion … I thought their hearts were too big when Joe came into office,” Cuban began. “They didn’t know how many people would cross the border, and it got away from them, but they figured it out; they learned.”
“[Biden] put together an executive order and now the number of border crossings is down to where they were in the Trump [administration], maybe a little lower. [Harris] says she’s going to sign the border bill, which is very clear where she stands now,” he continued.
Already, his answer is absurd. But then, as is the norm with Democrats, he pointed the finger at Donald Trump.
“But let me tell you the most important thing that has not been discussed – Donald Trump and Kamala both have said when it comes to illegals that are in the country that have violated the law, that are criminals, they’re going to deport them. Donald Trump hasn’t said what he’s going to do to deport anybody else,” said Cuban.
Dave points out that Cuban’s answer is the perfect example of “the modern liberal mind.”
Co-host Elizabeth Pipko adds, “To reach [Cuban’s] success level you have to be smart, so he probably knows as well as I do that no politician on that level suffers from a heart that’s just too darn big. That just doesn’t happen.”

Michael Keaton tries to dissuade men from Musk-Trump rallies: ‘They laugh at you behind your back, they think you’re stupid’
Famed Hollywood actor Michael Keaton catapulted himself into the political arena in a video on Instagram trying to dissuade voters, especially males, from going to see Elon Musk at Trump rallies.
‘They don’t want to hang out with you. They have nothing in common with you. They’re not your bros.’
Keaton claimed that both the billionaire entrepreneur and the billionaire former president had condescending views about their supporters and fans.
“For some of you folks, guys mostly , who are thinking of attending a rally with Musk and Trump, they don’t really respect you, they laugh at you behind your back, they think you’re stupid. They don’t want to hang out with you. They have nothing in common with you. They’re not your bros,” he said.
“When Trump years ago said, ‘I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and they’d still vote for me,’ basically what he is saying is that these people are so dumb and so stupid they’d still vote for him,” he added. “They have no respect for you, trust me.”
Democrats have been panicking over poll results showing that the massive gender gap is pushing former President Donald Trump’s campaign closer to the victory column. In response, the Harris campaign issued last-minute policies meant to bolster support among black men and Latino men, but those efforts were mocked and ridiculed as racist pandering by many.
Keaton is best known for portraying the comic book hero Batman in a series of movies in the ’80s, but he most recently revived his popular “Beetlejuice” character in a Tim Burton-directed sequel.

‘Past is prologue’: Why Trump’s rise in the polls spell a ‘last-minute collapse’ for Kamala
There are only two weeks left until Election Day 2024, and if there’s any truth to the latest polling trends, things are looking good for Donald Trump.
While Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” is “always resistant to good news,” the polls he’s seeing seem to spell a “last-minute collapse” for the vice president.
“To remind you, on polling averages, there’s a little bit of secret sauce in every polling average. It’s no polling average is pure, if you will. The closest thing you can come to pure would be RealClearPolitics,” Stu says before analyzing a Washington Post poll, which he admits does have “secret sauce.”
The Washington Post poll has Kamala Harris up by very little in key battleground states, which Stu says reflects a “very close election.”
The New York Times has reported a “slight Trump shift” but “no real favorite” in the presidential race.
“If the polls missed like they did in 2022, as I mentioned, they underestimated Democratic support. Harris would sweep all of these states with the exception of Georgia and run away with the election win with over 300 electoral votes,” Stu says.
“If the polls missed like they did in 2020, Donald Trump would dominate a lot of these polls in states, and would win all of these swing states and win with over 300 electoral votes,” he adds.
Stu calls this “very uncertain territory” and says that “at the end of the day, you have a very close election and you don’t know what is going to happen.”
However, Stu is optimistic.
“You have to understand that this is the best chance Donald Trump has ever had to win an election. Now, he won in 2016, but he was a major underdog in 2016. In 2020, he was an even bigger underdog,” Stu says.
“In 2024, it’s basically an even race. And if the past is prologue, if past performance is indicative of future results, in this particular instance, you’ve got a lot of room to sit here and be optimistic,” he adds.

Doctors push for cheaper cancer cures, but Big Pharma stands firm
Since Richard Nixon declared war on cancer in 1971, the National Cancer Institute has spent nearly $160 billion on research and treatment for this deadly disease. In addition to this, the convoluted Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance systems collectively pay out hundreds of billions annually for the same treatments, perpetuating the status quo.
Despite spending far more than any other country, we are not seeing better results. Cancer rates are skyrocketing, including among young adults. With promising, cheaper alternatives available, why aren’t major medical journals and the government giving them the attention they deserve? Maybe the question answers itself.
Deep down, we all understand why chronic illnesses seem to be rising alongside the use of costly treatments that don’t offer long-term solutions.
A handful of heroic doctors who led the way on innovative COVID treatments have now published a peer-reviewed paper proposing a promising protocol for aggressive cancers. This protocol, published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, combines several antiparasitic drugs that are much safer and cheaper than typical cancer treatments: ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole.
These same antiparasitic agents, which showed promise against COVID, also seem effective against many cancers by targeting the mitochondrial-stem cell connection, believed to be a key factor in the aggressive growth of cancer.
Dr. William Makis, a Canadian oncologist and one of the lead authors, announced the publication on social media earlier this month.
“The future of cancer treatment starts NOW,” Makis excitedly shared on behalf of the 15 authors from six countries. “My thanks to lead authors Ilyes Baghli and Pierrick Martinez for their incredibly inspired work, FLCCC’s Dr. Paul Marik for his extensive research on repurposed drugs, and every co-author who worked hard to bring this paper to life.”
While obviously everyone undergoing cancer treatment must do their own research and speak to medical professionals they trust, here is the core of the Makis-Marik protocol in the paper:
Ivermectin
Low-grade cancers:
Dose of 0.5 mg/kg, 3x per week (Guzzo, et al., 2002).
Intermediate-grade cancers:
Dose of 1 mg/kg, 3x per week (Guzzo, et al., 2002).
High-grade cancers:
Dose from 1 mg/kg/day (de Castro, et al., 2020) to 2 mg/kg/day (Guzzo, et al., 2002).
All these doses have been established as tolerable for humans (Guzzo, et al., 2002).
Benzimidazoles and DON
Low-grade cancers:
Mebendazole: Dose of 200 mg/day (Dobrosotskaya, et al., 2011).
Intermediate-grade cancers:
Mebendazole: Dose of 400 mg/day (Chai, et al., 2021).
High-grade cancers:
Mebendazole dose of 1,500 mg/day (Son, et al., 2020) or fenbendazole dose of 1,000 mg 3x per week (Chiang, et al., 2021).
The protocol recommends these drugs alongside intravenous vitamin C, high-dose vitamin D, zinc, a ketogenic diet, fasting, and other lifestyle changes.
Several studies support the use of ivermectin in treating cancer for helping cancer cells to die. It has shown promising results, especially in very deadly cancers like pancreatic cancer. Although the doses for cancer treatment (0.5 to 1 milligram per kilogram of body weight) are higher than those used for COVID, doctors point to studies that show these doses are safe for cancer patients. In one study, patients took one milligram per kilogram daily for 180 days without any harmful side effects.
Mebendazole, along with its animal-use counterpart, fenbendazole, is another antiparasitic drug. It induces apoptosis in cancer cells by blocking microtubule formation and starving their growth by inhibiting glucose metabolism. The doctors mention several studies in which patients went into complete remission after following this regimen for several weeks.
Between 2020 and 2022, 59% of peer reviewers received at least one payment from the pharmaceutical industry.
So why aren’t the government, major pharmaceutical companies, and prestigious medical journals seizing this opportunity? These breakthroughs are often dismissed as being too new or lacking large sample sizes. Fine. Then why not fund a placebo-controlled clinical trial? We’re willing to spend billions on expensive therapies that often have extreme, life-altering side effects. These drugs, by contrast, are much cheaper and cause no harm. If even a 1% chance exists that this protocol could treat more cancers, why has this effort been left to a handful of independent doctors and low-profile medical journals?
The questions, once again, answer themselves. A new research letter, surprisingly published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, revealed that between 2020 and 2022 (during the pandemic), 59% of peer reviewers received at least one payment from the pharmaceutical industry. Among 1,155 supposedly impartial reviewers, the total payments amounted to $1.06 billion — lining their pockets and potentially influencing their research.
Now, consider competing products on the market for various ailments like Parkinson’s, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. On one side, you have potential treatments from cheap repurposed drugs; on the other, expensive new drugs that ravage the body with side effects but enrich the pharmaceutical industry. These expensive drugs create a cycle of chronic illness, failed treatments, and side effects, each reinforcing the need for more drugs. Given this conflict of interest, which treatment do you think will make it past the gatekeepers in major medical journals?
Deep down, we all understand why chronic illnesses seem to be rising alongside the use of costly treatments that don’t offer long-term solutions. In 2022, Yale researchers analyzed the association between cancer care expenditures and age-standardized cancer mortality rates across 22 wealthy Western countries in 2020. Their findings, published in JAMA, showed that despite America spending $584 per capita on cancer care — more than any other nation and double the median spending of the other 21 countries — “cancer care spending was not associated with age-standardized cancer mortality rates.”
Cancer rates are now skyrocketing in America and other Western countries, including aggressive, hard-to-treat cancers in young adults. From 2019 to 2023, cancers have surged among individuals ages 15-44 in the following categories: uterine cancer (up 37%), colorectal cancer (up 17%), liver cancer (up 8%), and unspecified metastatic cancer (up 14%).
Earlier this year, the American Cancer Society noted that in the late 1990s, colorectal cancer was the fourth-leading cause of cancer deaths among men and women younger than 50. Today, it has become the No. 1 killer of men under 50. In Great Britain, cancer rates hit a record high in 2022, with prostate cancer being the most diagnosed and particularly deadly.
Why aren’t alarm bells sounding in the oncology field, recognizing that current approaches clearly aren’t working?
We don’t yet know how broadly successful an ivermectin/mebendazole-based cancer treatment protocol could be for the general population. The trouble is we may never find out. If such a protocol were to emerge from the gatekeeping medical journals, the very entities funding those journals would stand to lose billions in revenue. That moral hazard is one humanity cannot afford to ignore.

Twisted Texas love triangle: Couple allegedly plot ambush, kidnapping, murder of wife’s alleged former lover — over dishonor
A Texas husband and wife allegedly attempted an ambush, kidnapping, and murder of the wife’s alleged former lover over the weekend.
The victim — who did not want to be named due to fears for his life — allegedly had been having an affair with 35-year-old Hana Ahmad Alolaimi. Both the victim and Alolaimi reportedly were married to other people.
The victim said the angry husband told him he had to die because he had dishonored his wife.
Citing court records, KRIV-TV reported that the two would meet at a Chick-fil-A in West Houston and then would drive behind a nearby Target to be alone.
While court documents say the victim broke off the adulterous relationship three months ago after his wife found out, the victim and Alolaimi allegedly met Saturday in the parking lot at the same Chick-fil-A from their past meetings.
According to court documents, Alolaimi parked her vehicle and gestured to the victim to enter her vehicle.
When Alolaimi started to drive away, the victim — a 36-year-old DoorDash delivery driver — reportedly told her that he had to make a delivery and could not leave. She allegedly continued to drive from the Chick-fil-A.
The victim was unaware that 48-year-old Omar Mahmoud Bishtawi — the husband of Alolaimi — reportedly was hiding in the back seat of the vehicle.
“Your husband jumped out from under a curtain that was in the back seat of the vehicle, put the complaining witness in a chokehold, then pressed a firearm against the complaining witness’ head,” the prosecutor told Alolaimi at her hearing, according to KHOU.
The victim said the angry husband told him he had to die because he had dishonored his wife.
“With his left hand, he grabs me like this and says: ‘You made fun of her,'” the victim told KHOU.
“I pulled the door handle, and thank God it opened in a matter of seconds,” the victim said.
The prosecutor added, “The complaining witness tried to get away, and your husband shot the complaining witness two times.”
The victim managed to get away, call for help, and then he was rushed to a hospital.
Court documents note that the victim was shot in the thigh and right foot, and he could have died from the shooting if he had not been taken to the hospital in time.
The victim told KHOU he still can’t feel anything below one knee.
The suspects reportedly drove away but later surrendered to the Houston police who said Alolaimi and Bishtawi provided investigators with conflicting statements about the nearly fatal incident.
Bishtawi and Alolaimi are both charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated assault.
Bishtawi’s bond was set at $200,000 while Alolaimi’s was set at $150,000.
Bishtawi and Alolaimi have three children ages 13, 10, and 7, according to court documents.

Research results on puberty blockers delayed because researchers don’t want them to be ‘weaponized,’ NYT report says
A blockbuster New York Times report said that researchers trying to prove the effectiveness of puberty blockers refused to publish the results when they did not suit their political agenda.
The study was conducted by Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who is described as an “influential doctor and advocate of adolescent gender treatments” and who, with her colleagues at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, received millions of dollars in 2015 to document medical treatments for transgender youth, according to the Times.
‘I understand the fear about it being weaponized, but it’s really important to get the science out there.’
Olson-Kennedy and others gave puberty blockers to 95 children and followed them for two years in hopes of providing evidence that the controversial treatments eased depression and mental illness from body dysmorphia.
Years later, Olson-Kennedy admits that the results were not what they expected and gave a dubious excuse for not publishing them.
“They’re in really good shape when they come in, and they’re in really good shape after two years,” she said.
However, the Times report noted that the claim contradicted an earlier description of the child cohort that said a quarter of them were either suicidal or depressed before the puberty blocker treatment.
And while it’s been nine years since she received the funding, she said that they were not publishing their results out of political motivations.
“I do not want our work to be weaponized,” she said. “It has to be exactly on point, clear and concise. And that takes time.”
Olson-Kennedy also claimed the delays were due to budget cuts, but the Times again contradicted that excuse by reporting that the researchers had received $9.7 million to date for the broader survey.
The Times then obtained comments from other researchers who were alarmed by Olson-Kennedy’s actions.
“I understand the fear about it being weaponized, but it’s really important to get the science out there,” said Boston College clinical and research psychologist Amy Tishelman.
“No change isn’t necessarily a negative finding — there could be a preventative aspect to it,” she added. “We just don’t know without more investigation.”
Pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass said that delaying results misleads the public about whether transgender treatments are actually beneficial.
“It’s really important we get results out there so we understand whether it’s helpful or not, and for whom,” she said.

Harris ‘terrified’ as she falls out of favor with crucial voting bloc
Vice President Kamala Harris is facing another electoral dip among Latino voters, despite being a historically reliable voter demographic for Democrats.
Former President Donald Trump has pulled ahead of Harris by 11 points among Latino voters at 49% while the Democratic nominee trails at just 38%, according to a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll from Monday. While Trump has made inroads with the demographic, this slip in support is cause for alarm for the Harris camp.
Latinos have consistently voted in favor of Democratic presidential candidates. In 2020, President Joe Biden secured 65% of the Hispanic vote while Trump pulled 32% support. Similarly, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton won 66% of the Hispanic vote with 28% supporting Trump in 2016.
“She needs to stop targeting specific groups and instead say, ‘I’m going to be the president for all Americans,'” Jon McHenry, a GOP polling analyst and vice president at North Star Opinion Research, told Blaze News.
“She’s got enough leaks in her boat now that she just needs a new boat,” McHenry continued.
This trend could prove particularly consequential for the 2024 presidential race in swing states with substantial Hispanic populations. Roughly a third of the population in Arizona and Nevada is Latino, two states that have become increasingly tight for the presidential hopefuls.
In Arizona, Trump is currently an average of 1.8 points ahead of Harris, which is a slimmer margin compared to a 4.2 point lead in July after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. Trump is also holding a 0.9 point advantage in Nevada, which Harris has managed to narrow from four points in late July.
“This puts Nevada in jeopardy, and it puts Arizona in jeopardy for sure, but it also puts Georgia and North Carolina in jeopardy,” McHenry told Blaze News. “It’s not a gigantic share of the population, but it may be enough, especially in the case of Georgia, where there was an 11,000 vote margin last time. At this point, she could lose that in almost any demographic.”
The Democratic nominee is still trying to recoup her losses. Harris’ campaign released a list of policy proposals Tuesday that she said would “deliver real changes for Latino men and their families” just a week after unveiling her “opportunity agenda” for black men.
Similar to last week’s pitch, Harris is offering up no-interest, fully forgivable small-business loans for Hispanics, down-payment assistance for first-time Hispanic homebuyers, and a $6,000 child tax credit for Latino families.
“She’s got 55 plans to increase the deficit, but what is she really trying to do?” McHenry told Blaze News. “There’s no real sense of an overarching goal. There’s no real sense of leadership when you’re cherry-picking the groups you’re talking to.”
Harris is attempting to regain ground she has lost in light of her extremely unpopular track record. The majority of Hispanic voters, 55%, said they disapprove of her job as vice president while just 35% said they approved, according to the USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll.
Hispanics also prefer Trump over Harris to handle issues that are most important to them. Among Hispanics, Trump outperformed Harris 58% to 34% on the economy and 54% to 38% on immigration, according to the poll. The majority, 56%, said Trump would provide strong leadership while just 38% said the same for Harris.
“I just think that the Biden-Harris administration’s record on the economy is forcing a lot of people to vote based on their pocketbooks rather than social issues, especially the Hispanic voter,” McHenry told Blaze News.
“She’s terrified that she’s going to lose,” McHenry continued. “She’s not going to lose Hispanic voters overall, but she’s terrified she’s going to lose too much of the Hispanic vote.”
The Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Federal appeals court hands Biden-Harris DOJ big win in Jan. 6 criminal cases
A federal appeals court upheld a misdemeanor trespass charge used against more than 1,400 defendants who protested at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, but the issue could end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a 45-page ruling, a three-judge panel upheld the conviction of Jan. 6 defendant Couy Griffin on a charge of knowingly entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds under U.S. Code 18 §1752(a)(1).
The two judges signing the majority opinion for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit were Cornelia Pillard — an appointee of President Barack Obama — and Judith Rogers, appointed by President Bill Clinton.
Judge Gregory Katsas, appointed to the bench by President Donald J. Trump, filed a 22-page dissenting opinion.
The statute is designed to protect the president, vice president, and other top government officials from trespassers. It has two elements: The area in question must be “posted, cordoned off or otherwise restricted” and be one where “the president or other person protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting.”
‘I would vacate Griffin’s conviction and remand for further findings or proceedings.’
Griffin entered the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol just after 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 6, walked onto the West Plaza and up a flight of stairs to the inauguration stage, where he prayed and spoke to the crowd below using a bullhorn.
Griffin, the founder of Cowboys for Trump, argued that he was not aware that Vice President Mike Pence being in the U.S. Capitol was the basis for the second element of §1752(a)(1).
Pence presided over the ceremonial counting of Electoral College votes from the 2020 presidential election during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. He was evacuated from the U.S. Senate at 2:11 p.m. and moved to a secure loading dock just before the Capitol was breached by the swelling crowds.
After a March 2022 bench trial before U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, Griffin was found guilty of violating §1752(a)(1) and not guilty of a charge that he intended to disrupt the orderly conduct of government business. Judge McFadden made no finding whether Griffin knew that the vice president would be present on Jan. 6.
Three months later, Griffin received a time-served prison sentence. He had spent 20 days in pretrial detention. His appeal of conviction was argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals on Dec. 4, 2023.
In her client’s appeal, assistant federal public defender Lisa Wright said as Griffin approached the Capitol, “There was no signage or police presence indicating that he was not allowed to be there.”
Couy Griffin, founder of Cowboys for Trump, poses for photos on his walk to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.U.S. Department of Justice
“A reasonable person would expect that, if a part of the Capitol grounds was meant to be closed, there would be some signage, barricades, or police presence to tell him so,” Wright wrote in her appeal brief. “But everywhere Mr. Griffin went–past walls that enclosed nothing and through an open door near the base of the Capitol steps–he encountered no postings or police suggesting he had reached an area that was off-limits.”
Wright said that prosecutors had not proven that Griffin knew the vice president was still at the Capitol. Some 45 minutes before he set foot on the West Lawn, evidence showed Griffin remarked that Pence “certified it,” referring to the Electoral College tally.
In the majority opinion, Judges Rogers and Pillard wrote that prosecutors did not need to prove that Griffin knew the vice president was present in order to satisfy elements of the crime.
‘Not required to prove’
“We hold that the trial evidence sufficed to prove that the Capitol grounds were ‘posted, cordoned off, or otherwise restricted’ under section 1752(c)(1), and that Griffin knew they were so restricted when he entered and remained there,” they wrote. “We further hold that the government was not required to prove that Griffin knew when he entered and remained in the restricted area that Vice President Pence was still there.”
In his dissent, Judge Katsas said knowledge that an area is restricted and that a protectee of the U.S. Secret Service such as the vice president is present are both necessary for a conviction.
“Some evidence suggests Griffin did not know, such as his later, mistaken statement that the vice president had already certified the election before Griffin arrived at the Capitol,” Katsas wrote. “Because an essential element of the section 1752(a)(1) charge thus remains unresolved, I would vacate Griffin’s conviction and remand for further findings or proceedings.”
Many defense attorneys expect the questions raised in the Griffin case to end up before the Supreme Court, which in June issued a ruling strictly limiting use of an accounting-fraud statute to prosecute Jan. 6 defendants.
The DOJ had charged more than 350 Jan. 6 defendants with the felony crime of obstruction of an official proceeding for the delay of the session of Congress. But the High Court said 18 U.S. Code §1512(c)(2) could apply only to documents or other evidence used in a proceeding.
As of Aug. 6, the DOJ had charged 1,417 people with knowingly entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds — the most common Jan. offense.
However, the DOJ stopped reporting that total in its September and October statistical summaries. Instead, it inserted this language: “All defendants charged in the January 6 prosecution have been charged with some form of trespass or disorderly conduct, in violation of federal criminal codes.”

Kamala’s ‘Satan rally’: Mocking Christianity and praising abortion
Christian students Grant Beth and Luke Polaske recently attended a Kamala Harris rally only to be mocked for their beliefs by the Vice President.
While Harris was carrying out her routine glorification of abortion, the students peacefully shouted “Christ is King!” and “Jesus is Lord!”
“Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,” Harris responded to cheers from her abortion-worshiping crowd, adding, “I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”
The “smaller” rally she was referencing was former President Trump’s, which actually attracted around 7,000 attendees. Kamala’s brought in only 2,000 attendees.
Pat Gray and Keith Malinak of “Pat Gray Unleashed” are disgusted.
“Clearly mocking the pro-life Christian guy,” Malinak comments.
“She’s probably right,” Gray says. “They probably are at the wrong rally. This is the Satan rally, okay, that wants to murder babies and murder children and perform evil in America. ‘Okay, yeah, you’re right, we’re probably at the wrong rally.’”
“Pathetic,” he adds.

Harris’ desperate, last-ditch effort to win over voters? Recycle tired Trump-Hitler narrative
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris made a last-minute addition to her schedule on Wednesday afternoon to deliver remarks outside of the vice president’s residence.
While the White House’s announcement did not disclose the topic ahead of time, it became glaringly evident from Harris’ opening remarks that the sole purpose of the address was to torch her opponent, former President Donald Trump.
‘Increasingly desperate because she is flailing, and her campaign is in shambles.’
During her three-minute speech, Harris explained that Trump’s former chief of staff, retired Marine General John Kelly, “confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had.”
“Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution; he wants a military that is loyal to him,” Harris continued. “One that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States.”
The Trump campaign responded to Kelly’s claims, stating that he “beclowned himself with these debunked stories he has fabricated.”
During Harris’ address, she doubled down on statements claiming that Trump has “called his fellow Americans, the ‘enemy from within.'”
“And let’s be clear about who he considers to be the enemy from within — anyone who refuses to bend a knee or dares to criticize him,” Harris claimed.
She stated that Trump plans to go after judges, journalists, and non-partisan election officials.
Harris was presumably referring to comments that Trump made over the weekend, during which he specifically referred to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and Representative Adam Schiff (D-California) as “the enemy from within.”
Harris continued her Wednesday address, stating, “It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of six million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans.”
“It is clear from John Kelly’s words that Donald Trump is someone who, I quote, ‘certainly falls into the general definition of fascist,'” Harris said.
She claimed that Trump “vowed to be a dictator” and “use the military as his personal militia.”
“Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable,” Harris declared.
“So, the bottom line is this: We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be, what do the American people want,” Harris concluded before ending the address.
She did not take any questions from reporters.
In a Sunday interview, Harris accused Trump of demeaning the office by making critical remarks about her. NBC News accused Trump of using “incendiary rhetoric” against his opponent.
Harris’ impromptu Wednesday address kicked up criticism on social media, with many claiming that her campaign’s final message to voters ahead of the upcoming election signaled desperation.
In a post on X, conservative influencer Benny Johnson responded to Harris’ claim that Trump desires “uncheck power.”
“This is coming from the administration that has abused its power against Trump from DAY ONE,” Johnson wrote.
“TOTAL DESPERATION,” he said of Harris’ campaign.
Rudy Giuliani wrote in a post on X, “Kamala Harris is now comparing Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler. Kamala knows there have been two assassination attempts and countless threats on his life. It couldn’t be any clearer—this is a dog whistle to potential assassins. Disgraceful.”
Trump’s campaign responded to Harris’ press conference, writing, “Kamala Harris is a stone-cold loser who is increasingly desperate because she is flailing, and her campaign is in shambles. That is why she continues to peddle outright lies and falsehoods that are easily disproven. The fact is that Kamala’s dangerous rhetoric is directly to blame for the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump and she continues to stoke the flames of violence all in the name of politics. She is despicable and her grotesque behavior proves she is wholly unfit for office.”

CNN pollster says blue wall is collapsing as independents turn against Harris, toward Trump
CNN poll analyst Harry Enten unearthed more data that showed the election could be swinging decisively toward former President Donald Trump just weeks before Election Day.
‘This is the type of movement Donald Trump likes to see in the center of the electorate.’
Enten found that independent voters were slipping away from Vice President Kamala Harris just as the Democrat was looking to shore up support.
“What do we know about independents, right? Center of the electorate. You go last time around, Joe Biden won these voters by 11 points,” Enten explained. “You look at September of 2024, a month ago, Kamala Harris was up five points among independents. You look now, though, look at this. She’s only up by two points among a key bloc, center of the electorate, down nine points from where Biden was at the end of the 2020 campaign.”
He went on to say the case against Kamala worsens when the focus centers on the battleground states.
“What is going on in those key battleground states, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, the Great Lakes, that blue wall, right?” Enten continued.
“Joe Biden, last time around, won ’em by five points over Donald Trump. Look at where we are today,” he said. “This is the type of movement Donald Trump likes to see in the center of the electorate, up by a point. Now, of course, that’s well within any margin of error, right? But again, it‘s the movement. It’s the trend.”
Enten then pointed out that in the presidential elections since 1952, the candidates who won independents went on to win the election 15 times, while those who lost independents won the presidency only three times.
While not decisive, the trend of independents turning toward Trump is a very bad sign for Democrats.
Video of Enten’s analysis from CNN can be viewed at his social media account.

National Guard husband vanishes, and his wife’s alleged affair — and a new mattress — raise chilling questions of murder
A Utah mother allegedly shot her husband to death in their bed in September, according to claims by her alleged lover. The husband has been missing since last month.
Jennifer Gledhill, 41, told police she and her estranged husband met to talk Sept. 20 and began “drinking whiskey,” according to an arrest report.
The mother of three allegedly told her lover that she transported her husband’s body “north, dug a hole, and buried him in a shallow grave.”
Gledhill and her husband — 51-year-old Matthew Johnson — allegedly agreed to have sex that night.
“Jennifer informed [the officer] due to the intoxication from the whiskey she had a hard time recalling the events that took place after her and Matthew had sex,” the warrant states, according to KSTU-TV.
Johnson — a member of the Utah National Guard — was reported missing Sept. 23.
The next day, Gledhill reportedly contacted the Cottonwood Heights Police Department to file a domestic violence incident report against her husband.
She allegedly informed an officer that “bruises were all over her body,” and she wanted them photographed for evidence.
The warrant noted that an officer noticed several bruises on Gledhill’s arms, hands, legs, and a bruise under her left eye.
Gledhill claimed Johnson “became upset,” but she could not remember why, according to the warrant.
“Jennifer informed me she remembered Matthew was on top of her with a closed fist striking her several times,” Gledhill reportedly told police.
However, an informant told investigators a different story.
An unnamed man who claimed to be having an affair with Gledhill reportedly told police that she informed him that she sustained bruises from “moving Matthew’s body and cleaning the mess in the house.”
‘I washed everything & vacuumed & it’s not an issue anymore.’
The alleged lover also made another bombshell accusation.
Fox News reported that the lover informed investigators that Gledhill came over to his house on Sept. 22, and she told him that she was “likely going away for a long time.”
According to police, the informant claimed that Gledhill told him that she and Johnson got into a fight on Sept. 20 “because he knew she had been sleeping with someone else.”
The informant allegedly told police Gledhill confessed to him that she shot Johnson in the head with his 9mm Glock “as he slept in their shared bed.”
Court documents said Gledhill told her lover “that she loaded Matthew’s body into a rooftop storage container, slid him down the stairs by herself, and loaded him into the back of her minivan.”
Documents added that the mother of three allegedly told her lover that she transported her husband’s body “north, dug a hole, and buried him in a shallow grave.”
The probable cause affidavit noted that Gledhill sent the informant text messages and messages on WhatsApp, including one that reportedly read: “I washed everything & vacuumed & it’s not an issue anymore.”
Gledhill told the informant that if she were told a story like the one she told him that “she would take it to the grave,” according to court documents.
A neighbor reportedly told police that she witnessed Gledhill’s parents inside the home “cleaning” the garage and “moving things around” on Sept. 24. The suspect’s mother reportedly confirmed to investigators that she was at her daughter’s house Sept. 24.
Johnson has yet to be found.
‘Take it to the grave.’
Detectives found Johnson’s truck and his cellphone inside it less than a mile from his home.
While serving a search warrant at Gledhill’s residence, detectives allegedly noted that the mattress in the master bedroom “appeared to be brand new.”
Prosecutors claimed, “The evidence is significant that defendant obstructed the investigation by removing the mattress she admitted to [the] informant that she shot Matthew on while he was sleeping and replaced days later with a new mattress.”
Gledhill’s mother allegedly told detectives that she purchased a new mattress from Amazon at Gledhill’s request.
“Additionally, the entire wall behind the master bed appeared to have fresh wipe marks from cleaning,” court documents state. “Several reddish-brown spots were located on the walls, bed frame, and blinds of the master bedroom. Detectives noted that the wall behind the master bed was covered in bleach.”
Police noted “a strong smell of chlorine in the basement” and bleach stains on “several stairs” with black carpeting.
During a search of the suspect’s vehicle, detectives discovered bags of what appeared to be drugs packaged “for individual sale” and roughly $200 in cash.
Citing cellphone records, prosecutors said “at no point” after Sept. 21 did Gledhill “ever attempt to contact” Johnson.
When investigators asked the suspect’s father if he had recently entered the master bedroom, he reportedly responded, “I did not go in where the incident happened.”
According to police records, Gledhill previously made “unsuccessful attempts to secure a protective order against Matthew during the course of their marriage and was found by the court to be an instigator and one to goad Matthew into a response in order to get him in trouble,” prosecutors argued.
On Oct. 2, Gledhill was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, five counts of obstruction of justice, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, abuse of a human body, and tampering with a witness.
During her first court appearance Monday, 3rd District Judge Todd Olsen ordered her to not have contact with any of her three young children — ages 11, 7, and 5 — either in person or electronically.
KSL-TV reported Gledhill “wiped tears from her face” as the judge issued the order.
Gledhill’s attorney, Jeremy Deus, argued, “I think this is a heavy-handed tactic by the state to try to put undue pressure on her.”
Deus added, “I can’t imagine what it’s like to say that she can’t see the children and, in effect, tell the children that they can’t see mom, either. They’re not named victims in the case. I don’t see a basis for having a protective order that prevents them from having contact with their mother in any form or fashion.”

Over 600 female athletes have lost medals to transgender competitors, shocking UN report reveals
A United Nations report reveals that a staggering number of female athletes have lost medals to transgender competitors.
The report states that as of March 2024, more than 600 female athletes have been pushed off podiums in 29 sporting categories.
‘Male athletes have specific attributes considered advantageous in certain sports, such as strength and testosterone levels that are higher than those of the average range for females, even before puberty, thereby resulting in the loss of fair opportunity.’
As such, women have lost almost 900 medals to men who identify as women in over 400 competitions, the report says.
The report, titled “Violence against women and girls in sports,” was published by the U.N.’s special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem.
In the document, Alsalem explains that various national federations and governing bodies have allowed males who identify as females to compete in female sports categories.
Alsalem goes on to say that no matter the age at which transgender males compete against females, inherent athletic advantages for trans competitors will persist: “Male athletes have specific attributes considered advantageous in certain sports, such as strength and testosterone levels that are higher than those of the average range for females, even before puberty, thereby resulting in the loss of fair opportunity.”
Alsalem also cited the 2024 Paris Olympics, during which “female boxers had to compete against two boxers whose sex as females was seriously contested” and noted that “the International Olympic Committee refused to carry out a sex screening.”
Controversial boxers Lin Yu‑ting of Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) and Imane Khelif of Algeria both won gold medals in women’s boxing this past summer.

Both the International Boxing Association and the World Boxing Organization found that Khelif was biologically a man, but the International Olympic Committee decided to allow Khelif to box in the women’s category anyway.
Khelif has since filed criminal hate speech complaints in France over alleged abuse during the Olympics.
The U.N. report claimed that reliable sex screening procedures can be provided through a simple cheek swab and that female Olympians were in favor of its use in the past.
“A 1996 survey of female Olympians found that an overwhelming number (82 percent of the 928 surveyed) supported sex tests,” the report noted.
Last week a group of female activists and former athletes urged the U.N. to push for limitations on men who wish to compete against women in their events.
Olympic silver medalist Sharron Davies and former West Virginia athlete Lainey Armistead were among those who spoke at the United Nations General Assembly meeting, alongside Alsalem and lawyers such as Kristen Waggoner of the Alliance Defending Freedom.
The group of women called for the international sports community to ensure that women can participate in athletics without being at risk of harm from men.

Harris enrages Muslim community after campaign boots prominent doctor from Detroit-area event
Vice President Kamala Harris further enflamed tensions with Muslim Americans after her campaign kicked a prominent doctor and former Democratic congressional candidate out of a Detroit-area event earlier this week.
On Monday afternoon, Dr. Ahmed Ghanim and approximately 200 other guests arrived at a Harris rally held at the Royal Oak Music Theatre in Royal Oak, Michigan, a trendy suburb located about 15 miles north of Detroit.
Ghanim, a 49-year-old native of Egypt who received an invitation to the event, claimed he entered the facility, passed through security, and arrived at his seat without a problem. About 10 minutes later, someone from the venue approached him and asked him to follow her.
“I followed her,” Ghanim told FOX 2. “I thought they are changing my seat or doing something.”
The venue was not changing his seat. Instead, the woman led Ghanim to the theater lobby, where members of the Royal Oak Police Department and U.S. Secret Service were standing. The group of officials then asked him to leave the premises or risk detention in the back of a cop car.
Ghanim filmed his conversation with venue staff and members of law enforcement. According to the footage he captured, one officer said, “I’m not kicking you out. The venue’s kicked you out.”
When Ghanim pressed further, demanding to know why they were removing him, a woman stated, “Unfortunately, this is no longer a conversation.”
“This is my city,” Ghanim explained to WXYZ. “So if this happens to me in my city where I should feel safe … how do you think that is going to make me feel other than being an outcast?”
When FOX 2 asked whether he believed his Muslim faith played a role in the incident, Ghanim replied, “I think so.”
“They kicked me out without providing [a reason],” he told the Detroit News. “I didn’t have anything. There is no provocation. I didn’t even have any, like, a Palestinian kaffiyeh, any signs, or a banner, nothing. None of that is allowed inside.”
A spokesperson from ROPD confirmed to WXYZ that a representative from the theater issued the order to remove Ghanim. Secret Service confirmed to the outlet that none of the attendees, including Ghanim, were considered a security threat.
The Harris campaign, likely recognizing that someone had bungled the situation, immediately issued an apology.
“Our campaign regrets this action and its impact on Dr. Ghanim and the community, and he is welcome at future events,” Naomi Savin, deputy communications director for the Harris team in Michigan, told FOX 2. “We value our relationship with the Muslim American community.”
‘If you were kicked out of her campaign, would you vote for her?’
Thus far, that apology has apparently done little to quell the anger in the Muslim community, which is still frustrated with the response from the Biden-Harris administration to the war in Gaza. Some feel affronted that no one spoke on behalf of Palestinians on the main stage at the Democratic convention in August.
“We have seen this repeated pattern of disregard and disrespect towards Muslim and Arab Americans unfold before,” said Rex Nazarko, of the American Muslim Engagement and Empowerment Network, according to FOX 2.
Basim Elkarra, the director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in another state, called for an investigation into the incident in Royal Oak.
In addition to his work in health care management, Dr. Ghanim also recently attempted to oust Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in the 2024 Democratic primary. Stevens won overwhelmingly with 74% of the vote.
Ghanim, described by the Detroit News as a Democratic “activist,” now says he will likely not vote for Harris in the 2024 presidential election. “If you were kicked out of her campaign, would you vote for her?” he asked FOX 2 rhetorically.
“I guess that’s how the Democratic Party deals with Muslims. They’re not important to them. … Maybe the Democratic Party doesn’t want people like me and my kind in the party,” he added to the Detroit News.
Amer Ghalib, a fellow Muslim and the Democrat mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, has already endorsed former President Donald Trump, calling him “the right choice for this critical time.”

Election worker fired after man finds boxes of unsecured ballots in parking lot: ‘Totally unacceptable’
Election officials in Minnesota fired a ballot courier last week after Republicans spotted unsecured ballots in the back of a van.
While walking through the parking lot of the Edina City Hall on Oct. 18, a man spotted a Hennepin County courier vehicle with the rear door ajar. Inside the back of the van were approximately a dozen boxes of unsecured ballots.
‘This is exactly what can’t happen.’
Surveillance video shows the unsecured ballots were left exposed in the parking lot for nearly 10 minutes.
The eyewitness who snapped the photograph of the unsecured ballots told KSTP-TV that he is concerned about a fair election, telling the news station, “This is exactly what can’t happen.”
One day after that witness spotted the ballots, Hennepin County officials released a statement acknowledging a “lapse in protocol” had occurred.
“The protocol for transporting ballots is that they are to be secured at all times and Hennepin County has alerted its courier of this incident,” county officials said. “Hennepin County acknowledges that this lapse in protocol occurred, should not have happened, and is unacceptable. Corrective actions have been taken by the county and its courier to prevent any recurrence.”
Officials, moreover, fired the election worker who left the ballots unsecured.
Because of the security lapse, Hennepin County officials inspected the unsecured ballots and determined all remain legitimate.
The statement explained:
Hennepin County has determined that all expected ballots have been accounted for and found no evidence of tampering with sealed transfer cases. This is done by comparing the ballots received from the courier with the record in the Statewide Voter Registration System for all absentee ballots accepted by cities. The comparison demonstrated a 100% match. This step is routine in the ballot integrity process, occurring with every transfer.
County staff have also inspected individual ballots and determined that absentee ballot envelopes within the cases were received in sealed condition. This inspection is also a routine election integrity process.
Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon (D), meanwhile, said the incident “was totally unacceptable,” yet he still chalked it up as a “teachable moment.”
