[NYPOST] A woman who has been in a vegetative state since she nearly drowned 10 years ago reportedly gave birth to a baby last month, prompting a sex abuse investigation at the Phoenix-area nursing facility, AZ Family reported.
The baby was born on Dec. 29 and is doing well, according to the report. The woman is reportedly a patient at Hacienda HealthCare in Phoenix.
A source familiar with the situation told AZ Family that "none of the staff were aware that she was pregnant until she was pretty much giving birth."
"From what I’ve been told she was moaning. And they didn’t know what was wrong with her," the source said.
The source told AZ Family that the patient required constant care and that many people had access to her room.
The facility has reportedly changed protocol after the Dec. 29 birth. Male staff needing to enter a female room are required to bring a female employee with them, the source said.
A Hacienda HealthCare nurse declined Fox News’ request for comment because it would be a HIPPA violation and referred questions to the CEO of the nursing facility. The Phoenix Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
Hacienda issued a statement to AZ Family saying it has been in business in the valley for over 50 years and "has an outstanding reputation providing high-quality specialized care for our patients."
"As a Healthcare provider, we cannot comment on any patient due to Federal and State privacy laws. Additionally, we cannot comment on any ongoing investigations. We can say that our patients and clients health and safety is our #1 priority and that we always cooperate, when asked by any agency, in an open and transparent way."
Authorities are investigating the facility for possible sex abuse, AZ Family reported. No further details were released.
It sounds like a direct plot theft from the movie Kill Bill #1

[Daily Caller] Florida Highway Patrol said five children on their way to Disney World were among those killed in a fiery crash on Interstate 75 near Gainesville, Florida, on Thursday.
The children were traveling in a large passenger van from Louisiana, The Associated Press reported Friday. Two truck drivers were killed and at least eight people were injured.
The crash involved the van along with two tractor-trailers and a midsize sedan, WKMG reported. The fire occurred after nearly 50 gallons of diesel fuel spilled onto the road.

[Detroit Free Press] LANSING ‐ There's a breakthrough in the case of the mysterious rash at Michigan's only women's prison as 24 women there have been diagnosed with scabies ‐ an ailment prison officials had previously ruled out.
Notices have been posted at Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility warning prisoners, staff and visitors of the outbreak and an epidemiologist has been called in, as the number of women diagnosed with scabies is expected to grow, Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Chris Gautz said Friday.
Scabies is a skin infestation caused by a microscopic mite. If not properly treated, the mites can live on skin for months, burrow, and lay eggs, causing an itchy red rash. Scabies can be easily treated with topical lotions and/or pills such as Ivermectin.
[Townhall] Democrats have wasted little time shaking up Washington, D.C. since they were sworn into office on Thursday. In fact, Democratic leadership in the House is planning to make a big splash on Tuesday, when Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Mike Thompson introduce legislation requiring universal background checks for firearm purchase. The duo decided to do it on Tuesday, Jan. 8th because it's the eight anniversary of former Rep. Gabby Gifford’s shooting, which took place Jan. 8, 2011. And, to continue with the "eight" theme, the bill is also called House Resolution 8, POLITICO reported.
Giffords has worked with the pair to bring about this piece of legislation.
"Since the shooting at Sandy Hook, the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force has been fighting for a chance to pass legislation that will help save lives," Thompson told POLITICO. "Finally, with our new majority that ran on helping to prevent gun violence, we will introduce a bipartisan, universal background checks bill. We will hold hearings, we will have a vote, and this legislation will finally pass the House."

Depends on where you live and what you are going to use it for. A 410/22 combo is a great survival firearm for in the country/woods and can nab varmints and birds. Not high on the self defense scale though.
In a city, a 12 gauge or a AR-15 is a better choice for self defense.
Ideally, I would at least suggest a 22 for survival and a 12 gauge for hunting/defense.

Getting into guns? Get a good pistol, 9mm (see below for why a 9), and the 410/22 shotgun/rifle is a great suggestion for a starter longarm.
Survival? you need a decent shotgun, a good pistol, and a 22 rifle.
For the 22, take what you like. You can't go wrong with a Ruger 10/22 - its an easy rifle, and once you decide to modify it, there are tons of kits and oprtions out there to turn it into all kinds "tacticool" looks as well as adding to the functionality. Marlin isnt a bad option either.
Shotgun? 12ga because its deadly, dead simple, plentiful ammunition, and has multiple practical uses in home defense and hunting. 870 is the most common here, and like the 22 above, lots of hardware modifications you can do to make it to your liking.
Last but not least: a reliable 9mm pistol. Some will criticize the round, but plentiful and cheaper ammunition makes that a moot point if you're talking survival or actually putting in a lot of range time to get good with it - as well as having a lower "flinch" factor and kick, something people overlook for new gun owners. Find one you like and spend a lot of range time with it because for the most part, practice is more important than the brand and caliber. If you want a bigger round, move up to it after you get good with your 9.
Plenty of good 9mm pistols out there, my favorite is the Glock because there are a ton of them around, they hold a ton of ammo in the standard magazine, they last a long time, they are very simple to operate and maintain, and not all that expensive, especially if you buy a used one in good shape.
The Dems havent changed a bit. Demagougery and noise, no real substance unless its to expand the power and reach of government at the expense of regular citizens, or to grant favors to their voting blocs and rich patrons.

Wouldn't it be nice if they could send a draft of this sort of thing to the Supreme Court and get a 'not a freaking chance' ahead of time. Save a lot of anxiety all around.
#8
The entire goal is to get the law on the books long enough (before the Supreme Court overthrows it) to allow them to get their lists established. I have no doubt there is a little phrase in there to require retroactive registration.
I learned to shoot in scouts a loooooooooong time ago and have pulled a trigger now and then since.
The sea change is A) the kids are all gone and B) my wife, the hoplophobe, has decided that the gov't under the lefty DemSocs is more frightening than me with a bang stick AND we move to New Hampshire from the Peoples Republic of Mass.
I've been researching for a while and for nothing other than aesthetics like the looks of the CZ 75 pistol and their 457 Lux .22 etc.
From my research at Nation of Riflemen I've seen many recommendations. One that is interesting is a Henry or Marlin lever gun in .357 paired with a Ruger revolver.

Home defense - I have a short barrel Winchester pump 12 GA. No penetrating power to endanger others and the "snick-snick" sound says more than I can verbally about the situation they're in

Everyone should own a full size 9mm pistol. (Beretta 9s is good) An AR-15 - many different makes. And a 12ga pump action.

[Aljazeera] The US military has deployed soldiers to Gabon amid fears of violent protests in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo after its presidential election. Life Magazine cover, 12 February 1965
US President Donald Trump told Congress on Friday the first of about 80 troops arrived in Gabon on Wednesday to protect US citizens and diplomatic facilities should violence break out in DRC's capital Kinshasa.
Voters in Congo went to the polls on December 30, two years after they were first scheduled to be held, to elect the successor to President Joseph Kabila who has been in power for 18 years.
[Breitbart] Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s chief of staff Onyx Lorenzoni told reporters following a cabinet meeting Thursday that Bolsonaro intends to fire any "communists" who work for the government currently, contending that those holding opposing ideological views to the new government cannot properly execute its goals.
Bolsonaro, who defeated the socialist Workers’ Party (PT) candidate Fernando Haddad in October’s run-off presidential election, ran a campaign vowing to eradicate Marxist thought from the government and from Brazil’s schools and spearhead a movement of small-government conservatives in Latin America who opposed the ideologies of the region’s dictatorships, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.
"Society said ’enough’ to socialist and communist ideas which, in the past 30 years, brought us to the chaos were are living today," Lorenzoni told reporters, explaining that this mandate made it necessary to remove Marxists from top positions in the government according to the Spanish news agency EFE. To accomplish this, the Bolsonaro administration will begin a review of some of the highest-ranking officials.
In the olden days, when there was a regime change, everyone from the previous admin who didn't beat feet was tossed into a volcano or stood up against a wall. I'm not necessarily advocating for a return to those times, but I can see certain advantages.
In the US, government workers have union protections against firing. Until that changes, it’s not about President Trump’s mistakes but about what he can legally do.
[ARABNEWS] Diplomats from a dozen Latin American countries and Canada on Friday urged President Nicolas Maduro to abstain from being sworn in for a second term and cede power until new elections can be held, saying it is the only way to restore democracy in Venezuela. The strong rebuke from the Lima Group urging Maduro to hand over power to the opposition-controlled National Assembly comes days before his Jan. 10 inauguration to a six-year term widely rejected as illegitimate. yeah, that'll work

"They meet to receive orders from @ RealDonaldTrump through @SecPompeo, what a show of humiliating subordination!"

[Saudi Gazette] North Korea's top diplomat in Italia has sought asylum and gone into hiding, Seoul politicians told news hounds after a closed-door meeting with South Korean intelligence officials on Thursday.
It would mark the latest high-profile defection by a senior North Korean envoy since the deputy ambassador in London abandoned his post in 2016.
"Acting ambassador Jo Song Gil's term was ending in late November last year and he escaped the diplomatic compound in early November" with his wife, politician Kim Min-ki told news hounds.
Jo, 48, has been acting ambassador in Rome since October 2017 after Italia expelled the then ambassador Mun Jong Nam in protest at a North Korean nuclear test a month earlier in violation of UN resolutions.
Italia is an important diplomatic mission for Pyongyang, as it handles relations with the Rome-headquartered UN Food and Agriculture Organization and North Korea suffers from chronic food shortages.
Another member of the South Korean parliament, Lee Eun-jae, told news hounds that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) had confirmed the envoy had sought asylum, but did not appear to know his whereabouts.
A source close to the Italian Foreign Ministry told AFP on Thursday the country had "no knowledge" of any asylum request from Jo.
The source said the ministry had simply received a request for the "replacement" of the diplomat, but did not know Jo's whereabouts, adding that the replacement had arrived in Rome.
The NIS briefing to politicians came after South Korea's JoongAng Ilbo daily reported that Jo had sought asylum in an unidentified Western country with his family.
"He sought asylum early last month," the JoongAng quoted a diplomatic source in Seoul as saying. Italian authorities were "agonizing" over what to do, the official was cited as saying, but added that they were "protecting him in a safe place".
Jo is "known to be a son or son-in-law of one of the highest-level officials in the North's regime", the JoongAng cited an unnamed North Korea expert as saying.
Most North Korean diplomats serving overseas are normally required to leave several family members ‐ typically children ‐ behind in Pyongyang to prevent their defection while working abroad.
Jo however came to Rome in May 2015 with his wife and children, suggesting he may be from a privileged family, the JoongAng said, adding the reason for his defection bid was still unclear.

[DW] German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslems .. and other senior politicians were reportedly hit by a data hack, with some of their letters, contact details and party memos leaked on Twitter.
Germany's digital defense body is "intensively" investigating the apparent data leak that saw data of hundreds of politicians from across the political spectrum being published online, a front man for the Federal Office for IT Safety (BSI) said on Friday.

(CNSNews.com) - Amid concerns about trade with China and rollercoaster stock markets, the final employment report of 2018 counts as good news.
The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday the economy added an impressivve 312,000 jobs in December, which was a month of strong retail sales; and the nation's unemployment rate increased two-tenths of a point to 3.9 percent, which is still an 18-year low.
The number of employed Americans has now set a 14th record under Trump:
When Trump became president in January 2017, 152,076,000 Americans were employed. Last month, that number grew to a record 156,945,000, a gain of 4,869,000 in two years.
At the same time, the number of unemployed Americans increased by 276,000 last month, to 6,294,000, as more people were actively looking for work but had not found a job.
In another positive sign, the labor force participation rate increased two-tenths of a point to 63.1 percent, the highest it's been since Trump took office.
In December, the nation’s civilian noninstitutionalized population, consisting of all people age 16 or older who were not in the military or an institution, reached 258,888,000. Of those, 163,240,000 participated in the labor force by either holding a job or actively seeking one.

Might be record LEGAL employment, i.e. colonists de-colonising.
Of course as the wages of average legally employed person improved the establishment welfare state (AKA the fed) will raise rates at this "harmful" inflation, when they ignored the actual harmful inflation occurring in land affordability.
#2
As interest rates rise higher the ponzi scheme of borrowing is in danger of collapsing. 'The Fed' provides a useful function as relief valve and insider trading agent.
As 'The Fed' announces rate hikes, the market sells off, usually at a high. As 'The Fed' backs off the proposed rate hike, the market springs back with a massive 'buy'....usually at a low.
Do you suppose the same people 'selling off' are also buying ?
#3
I'd say there's a fair few leaks that get traded on and when the leaky Fed person leaves the job they get a sinecure in a non-job from a economically rentier firm.

Regarding pocket book issues got Trump elected. They will get him reelected when the time comes. Getting more in your paycheck is a great thing but actually having a job after possibly years is a great thing.
Basra (IraqiNews.com) Thirty-year-old landmines littering Iraq’s southern Basra province are still harvesting lives, according to a parliament representative from the province.
Iraqi al-Maalomah website quoted Zahra al-Bagari saying that landmines kabooms left 20 people dead throughout 2018.
She said more than 1.300 billion square meters of land in the province are still contaminated with radiative items and military ordinance from past wars.
Bagari added that local organizations are so bankrupt that they failed to receive a Japanese minesweeper to remove the explosives. She urged the Iraqi government to help with finances to receive the machine,
The United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... said in February it had cleared more than 45.000 explosive ordnance from all over Iraq, and that the continuation of purging efforts could need at least a decade.
Besides explosives left over from older wars, Iraq’s war against Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... since 2014 left Iraqi soil contaminated with thousands of tons of unwent kaboom! ordnance and booby-traps. Leftover explosives have occasionally went kaboom!, killing several civilians since Iraqi authorities declared victory over the murderous Moslem group last year.
