Health officials are warning that the rise of life-threatening sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is “out of control.” According to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, STIs are on a worrying rise putting millions of people’s lives at risk from entirely preventable infections. “STIs must be a public health priority,” the CDC warned on Tuesday. The health agency noted that “the most alarming concerns” revolve around syphilis cases — which are at the highest level they’ve been in more than seven decades. Reported chlamydia cases have remained at a record high level but gonorrhea cases did decline...

Jacinda Ardern’s government had an emotional response to the crisis and a mistaken understanding of science, which led to multiple vaccine-induced deaths. Have these victims become a new source of organ donors for organ transplantation? By perusing scientific literature from around the world, New Zealand’s Dr. Guy Hatchard explores what vaccine-induced deaths mean from the perspective of transplant surgeons. “[While] transplant surgeons are very excited to have more available young donors … [they] completely fail to comment on the significance of the increased number of cases of vaccine-induced death,” he writes. “Transplant surgeons are narrowly focused on their discipline. Despite...

Badfellows- “As far back, I can remembah, day wiz always ganstahs”. This is very funny take on deep state Clinton and Joey B antics. Support snarfblat, who put this gem out because it will make the rounds.

This was sick. Like Shakespeare's three witches cackling over Macbeth's impending doom, Nicolle Wallace and two of her guests today threw poisoned entrails in their cauldron as they fantasized ill for President Trump. Two of the reveries were outright violent. First up was "GOP strategist" Rick Wilson, who declared "Trump isn't magic, he isn't invulnerable. If you cut him, he'll still bleed." Wilson has a history of bloody fantasies about President Trump. Back in May, we caught him advising Democrats to up the Trump admin "body count," while encouraging them to inflict a "death of 1,000 cuts," and to "raise...

Former Oklahoma state senator is found dead inside his house just one day after another former GOP senator was shot dead at her Arkansas home (full title). Senator Jonathan Nichols was found dead with a gunshot wound Wednesday. He was discovered inside his house and a police source reportedly said a gun was in the room where he was discovered at his home in Norman. Police would not confirm or deny the detail due to their ongoing investigation. A family member called 911 for the man who was married with two children. His body was found 500 miles from Linda...

PALU, Indonesia, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Indonesia is in a race against time to save victims of a devastating earthquake and tsunami on Sulawesi island, the government said on Tuesday, as the official death toll rose to more than 1,200 and looting fueled fears of lawlessness. Four days after the double disaster struck, officials feared the toll could soar, as most of the confirmed dead had come from Palu, a small city 1,500 km (930 miles) northeast of Jakarta. Some remote areas have been largely cut off after Friday's 7.5 magnitude quake triggered tsunami waves, destroying roads and bridges, and...

Adrian Lamo, the notorious computer hacker who turned in Chelsea Manning to the FBI and was arrested for hacking into The New York Times and Microsoft, has died in Kansas at age 37. *snip* Charley Davidson, a Wichita police officer told the media outlet there was “nothing suspicious about his death.” It was not immediately clear how Lamo died.

FAISALABAD, Pakistan — The father of Imran Awan — an IT aide to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz who investigators concluded made “unauthorized access” to House servers — transferred a USB drive to a Pakistani senator and former head of a Pakistani intelligence agency, the father’s ex-business partner, Rashid Minhas, alleged. Minhas told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Imran Awan’s father, Haji Ashraf Awan, was giving data to Pakistani official Rehman Malik, and that Imran bragged he had the power to “change the U.S. president.” Asked for how he knew this, he said that on one occasion in 2008 when...

The reporter who exposed corruption within the Clinton Foundation was found dead after a car bomb exploded with her inside. Maltese Investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was responsible for leaking millions of documents from the Panama Papers, which exposed high-level government corruption from around the world, reports Conservative Fighters.

In an 8-minute video, an articulate TALKING CAT nimbly draws together evidentiary parallels in recent DNC/Debbie Wasserman-Schultz related deaths in Florida (e.g. Beranton J. Whisenant Jr.) and elsewhere. Connections to Haitian children and the wealthy and politically influential patients of Florida branch offices of the Mayo Clinic are made clear, partly owing to the yeoman's service of Florida attorney Elisabeth Beck, currently suing the DNC. With personal relationships with some of the recent murder victims (to say nothing of the physical proximity of the crime scenes to her office) Beck Esq. is clearly in fear for her life. Admittedly the...

Jorge Ramos has to get a lot better on pronunciation or he could find himself in trouble with the Clinton campaign. Not only is Hillary’s vice presidential now many making an ass of himself all day today, but now this is published. This woman is in trouble. I just came across this tweet a few minutes ago and I had to put it out because it was so funny. If you listen to him you know he has an accent, but at that to saying the name Hillary Clinton and you will be laughing for the next few minutes.

Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, whose real name was Ali Mohammed al-Fakheri, 46, took his own life in his prison cell, according to the Libyan newspaper Oea. Information gained from the interrogation of al-Libi was cited on several occasions by the Bush administration as justification for the war in Iraq. He told his CIA interrogators that al-Qaeda had sent two men to Iraq to seek training in chemical and biological weapons in December 2000. Classified documents added that the men did not return, so al-Libi did not know whether the training took place, and that, in any case, he was probably "intentionally...

Walpin's son-in-law, Allan Tananbaum, said Walpin was struck by a car while crossing a street in Manhattan.
