High School Football Coach, 60, Dies After Chemotherapy Supply Runs Out

(How sad is this! This is American dammit. Maybe if we quit giving free medical to Illegals and quit spending money in countries that hate us and put America first again things like this wouldn’t happen.)

Jeff Bolle, pictured left next to his wife Connie, died six months after doctors informed him that his cancer-slowing drug cisplatin was unavailable due to an ongoing shortage. He passed away that same year having not received his remaining two chemo treatments

AMilwaukee football coach has become the latest victim of the devastating drug shortage crisis threatening the lives of patients with diabetes, cancer and deadly infections.

Bolle had surgery and four rounds of chemotherapy to remove a grapefruit-sized tumor in his bile duct next to his liver.

Doctors said he needed two more to kill all remaining cancer cells – but Mr Bolle was told the cancer center where he was treated did not have the drug.

Instead, he languished for months without cancer-slowing medication.

His story comes as thousands of patients in the US struggle to access medication amid a protracted shortage that has affected more than just chemotherapy drugs, but also diabetes medications, antibiotics, and anesthetics.

Before he died, Mr Bolle and his wife Connie shared their story publicly in the hope of garnering attention for the issue and to pressure federal action to fix it.


Dem lawmaker urges return of Trump-era border policies: ‘US does not have operational control of the southern border’

Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez from Washington stated in a recent interview with NPR that there is an “urgency” for the Biden administration to revive Trump-era border policies.

Gluesenkamp Perez and a group of other “self-described centrist Democrats” are demanding that the federal government do more to tackle the crisis at the southern border, the news outlet reported.

During a Monday interview with NPR’s A Martinez, Gluesenkamp Perez said that Biden needs to bring back Title 42 and fully utilize the “remain in Mexico” program. She noted that “one of the fundamental mistakes around immigration” has been “to debate whether or not an immigration policy is … motivated by racial animus.”

“By the way, I think a lot of them are, but a lot of people in rural and working-class communities like mine, we come from communities that have been hollowed out by fentanyl, and so we’re watching our cousins, our neighbors, our coworkers overdose and die, and we are demanding operational control of the southern border. That can’t wait for a perfect immigration policy to come along,” Gluesenkamp Perez told NPR.


AstraZeneca vindicates skeptics with admission that its COVID-19 vaccine can cause blood clots

(Sure glad I never got the jab!)

By January 2022, the vaccine had been injected globally more than 2.5 billion times.

More than 20 countries temporarily took AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine off the market in March 2021 following mounting reports of abnormal bleeding, low blood platelets, blood clots, and sudden deaths among various recipients.

AstraZeneca repeatedly denied causation, noting in a March 14, 2021, statement that a careful review showed “no evidence of an increased risk of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or thrombocytopeniain any defined age group, gender, batch or in any particular country.”

AstraZeneca added that the “available evidence does not confirm that the vaccine is the cause [of the clots].”

Despite an alarming number of apparent victims, various health organizations, including the European Medicines Agency, suggested that “the vaccine’s benefits continue to outweigh its risks.”

A coroner determined in September 2021 that the mother of two had died from blood clots on her brain. She began suffering stroke-like symptoms a week after her first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, reported the Daily Mail.

In the event that AstraZeneca loses in court, it could be forking over around $100 million in compensation. The British government will, however, underwrite the company’s legal bills.


What we know about the suspect in the Charlotte police ambush

(To quote James Woods on X, “He was released from jail hours later…The charges out of Mecklenburg County were dismissed. District Attorney Spencer Merriweather stopped prosecuting many drug crimes in early 2021…” )

(And now four law enforcement officers are dead.)

The suspect was identified as 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes Jr.

Court records show Terry Clark Hughes Jr. had a lengthy criminal record in North Carolina.

The suspect was identified as 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes Jr. The U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force was attempting to serve multiple warrants against Hughes at a home on Galway Drive in east Charlotte when they were met with “active gunfire,” according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Hughes was shot and killed during the encounter. 

North Carolina state records show Hughes was convicted of breaking and entering in Person County, which is north of Raleigh-Durham, in 2010. He spent approximately six months in prison before being released in May 2011.

Hughes was arrested in June 2012 after a high-speed chase in Alamance County, which is east of Greensboro and west of Raleigh-Durham. Deputies said Hughes led them on a chase at speeds over 100 mph after turning around to avoid a checkpoint.

At the time, he was wanted on several warrants in numerous counties for failing to appear in court. He spent nearly a year in prison for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and speeding to elude arrest….

Win For Reality: UK’s National Health Service Constitution to Declare ‘Sex is Biological’

In a marked rejection of transgender ideology and a win for women’s rights activists, the constitution of Britain’s National Health Service will publicly declare that sex is a biological reality that must inform how patients are treated.

Following the move by the National Health Service to prohibit the prescription of life-altering puberty blockers to children, another major pillar of wokist medicinal thought, that sex is a fluid concept, looks to be dismantled as the NHS’ constitution will state: “We are defining sex as biological sex.”

In practice, the update to the governing document of the socialised healthcare system will mean that so-called transgender women will be barred from female-only hospital wards, The Telegraph reports.


NY v Trump: Judge regrets he ‘unfortunately’ can’t fine 45th president more in gag order ruling

Judge Juan Merchan fined Trump $9,000 Tuesday morning for violating a gag order that bans him from speaking publicly about witnesses and family members of court officials. The judge found he violated the order on nine separate occasions, with each violation resulting in a $1,000 fine. 

The judge detailed in the order that if Trump carries out “continued willful violations” of the gag order, he could face “incarceratory punishment” if “necessary and appropriate.”

Merchan continued that it would be “preferable” if the court “could impose a fine more commensurate with the wealth of the contemnor.”

“In some cases that might be a $2,500 fine, in other cases it might be a fine of $150,000. Because this Court is not cloaked with such discretion, it must therefore consider whether in some instances, jail may be a necessary punishment,” he said, highlighting again that Trump could face time behind bars if he continues violating the order. 


Sanctuary City Chicago: Police Made More Than 1,000 Arrests of Venezuelan Migrants in 2024 So Far

DuPage County State Attorney’s Office

The Tribune solely reviewed crime data of the sanctuary city’s Venezuelan population, as 40,000 have arrived since August 2022. The Chicago Police Department does not track arrests of migrants, but it does track the country of origin for those arrested, though that data is not recorded in about 14 percent of cases.

Of cases where that data was recorded, the Chicago Police Department made more than 1,000 arrests of Venezuelan migrants from January through March of 2024.

Put another way, while newly arrived Venezuelan migrants make up just 1.5 percent of Chicago’s 2.6 million residents, they have accounted for 11.11 percent of all arrests in the first three months of 2024, when officers recorded the arrestees’ country of origin.

Gilver Yuviny Zelaya Diaz, a 42-year-old illegal alien, was arrested and charged with Price’s death after prosecutors alleged that he hit the young father, who was skateboarding at the time, and then fled the scene of the crash.

On April 8, prosecutors said Diaz was driving without a license when he struck Price who was skateboarding. Diaz allegedly fled the scene, leaving Price dead on the ground.

According to prosecutors, Diaz is an illegal alien who was on probation at the time of the fatal crash. Diaz had been recently released from federal prison and prosecutors said he has failed to appear in court on five separate occasions.

Diaz was previously arrested on drug charges as well as assault and armed robbery. Despite his being an illegal alien in the United States since 2019, according to prosecutors, he was never deported.

Middle schoolers who protested trans athlete’s participation are banned from future competitions

Five West Virginia middle schoolers who protested a transgender athlete’s participation in a track and field competition have been barred from future meets — prompting the state attorney general to ask the US Supreme Court to weigh in on transgender student-athlete bans for a second time.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education on the dissenting students’ behalf after they were blocked from upcoming meets following their protests at the April 18 shot put competition, West Virginia Watch reported.

Five girls from Lincoln Middle School stepped up to the circle for their turn before refusing to throw in the event, which was won by Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 13-year-old girl who takes puberty-blocking medication and estrogen hormone therapy.
