Hulk Hogan’s Spasming Cadaver Body-Slams Mortician CLEARWATER, FL—After undergoing a medical emergency and dying last week at the age of 71, Hulk Hogan’s spasming cadaver reportedly lifted a mortician high above its head Monday and body-slammed the professional. “At approximately 1:34 p.m., Hulk Hogan’s deceased corpse underwent spontaneous convulsions, at which point the cadaver bolted upright, ripped off its body bag, […]

A Smithsonian spokesperson says it’ll be restored after “updates”. But let’s not ignore the timing the White House is actively pushing for a more “positive” version of U.S. history. This isn’t just editing an exhibit. It’s an attempt to rewrite the record.

The Smithsonian removes a Trump impeachment reference from an exhibit. The label, added in 2021 to the National Museum of American History’s presidential power exhibit, has been taken down for “revisions.”

Demonstrating for: 1. Mandatory respiratory protection (FFP2/FFP3/N95/N99) in healthcare and social care to ensure patient safety for all. 2. High-quality air in all schools, other public buildings, and workplaces. 3. Full access to COVID-19 vaccines for all age groups for whom the vaccines are approved. 4. Adequate care and biomedical research for Long COVID, ME/CFS, and other infection-associated chronic conditions. 5. Honest, science-based public education about the short- and long-term risks of infection, and how to best protect each other. Do you agree?

Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to less restrictive prison after DOJ meeting Normally, sex offenders like Maxwell are not housed in minimum-security prisons, but she has been moved to one.

"As a convicted sex offender, Maxwell would not normally be eligible for a minimum-security prison. According to a Bureau of Prisons policy," it would require "a waiver from an arm of the bureau that designates inmates."

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

“The reason for the move is listed as a “lesser security transfer” (code 308), which is completely inappropriate for inmates who are in the early stages of serving their sentences. ‘This is such obvious corruption. I have never seen this before.’”

Can we please get mandatory masking back on cancer wards and healthcare settings now?

We know COVID can be oncogenic.

We know it’s a much higher risk to those who are immune compromised.

Yet healthcare workers won’t mask around cancer patients & many have died.

Mask up!

Change in OB/GYN Physicians Practicing Obstetrics After the Dobbs Decision This cohort study evaluates changes in the number of obstetrics and gynecology physicians practicing in Idaho after the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision.
