[NY Post] God bless. My Dad died from Glioblastoma. It's a death sentence
Former Rep. Mia Love, who became the first Black woman elected to Congress for the GOP, shared the new grim reality of her brain cancer diagnosis in a statement issued Saturday.
The family of Love, 49, said she was diagnosed with glioblastoma and has now stopped all treatment for a malignant tumor as the disease has become too advanced.
"Hello Friends, I’m Mia’s daughter Abigale. Many of you are aware that Mom has been fighting GBM brain cancer," the doting daughter wrote on X via her mother’s account.
"Sadly her cancer is no longer responding to treatment and the cancer is progressing. We have shifted our focus from treatment to enjoying our remaining time with her," Abigale wrote.
The mother of three was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2022, and revealed her diagnosis in 2023. Glioblastoma manifests in the form of a brain tumor; it is an aggressive form of cancer that has an unknown exact cause.

From Frank G’s PJMedia link:
Love, who is just 49, was the first black Republican congresswoman in the United States. Born to Haitian immigrants, she grew up in New York and Connecticut before moving to Utah after graduating college. She worked as a flight attendant, but she found a passion for politics when she served as a community spokesperson representing homeowners who were fed up with a midge infestation in Saratoga Springs. In 2010, she became the town's mayor. In 2015, she was sworn in to represent Utah's 4th district in the House of Representatives.
She lost favor with many Republicans in 2016 when she didn't support Donald Trump for president, and in 2019, she was voted out of office. However, in 2024, in one of her last posts on X, she announced that she was proudly supporting the Trump/JD Vance ticket.
[ZeroHedge] A week after the Trump administration fired the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and five more senior Pentagon officers, another head rolled on Friday as the three-star commander of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) retired -- with sources telling Reuters that retirement was forced on her.
As DHA commander, US Army Lt. Gen. Telita Crosland oversaw a vast medical system serving more than 9.5 million service members, retirees and family members around the world via more than 700 hospitals and clinics with a staff of more than 130,000 service members, civilian employees and contractors.
News of her sudden retirement broke Friday morning, with acting Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Stephen Ferrara notifying DHA service members and civilian employees. In an email obtained by ZeroHedge, he wrote:
"This morning, Army Lieutenant General (LTG) Dr. Telita Crosland, the fourth Director of the Defense Health Agency (DHA), is beginning her retirement. I want to thank LTG Crosland for her dedication to the nation, to the Military Health System, and to Army Medicine for the past 32 years. I have designated Dr. David Smith, the Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, as the Acting Director of the DHA while the Department conducts the normal nomination process."
On Friday evening, Reuters was first to confirm universal suspicions that Crosland's sudden retirement wasn't her idea, with both a current and former official saying she was ordered to retire. The officials, spoke to the news agency on condition of anonymity, said she was not given a reason for being pushed out of the military after a career spanning more than 30 years. A West Point graduate who started her Army service as a Medical Corps officer in 1993, Crosland was given the DHA command after serving as the Army's Deputy Surgeon General.
Crosland's forced resignation capped a week of momentous moves by the Trump administration vis-a-vis the Pentagon.
Last Friday brought an extraordinary mass-firing that took out the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff USAF Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., Chief of Naval Operations Adm Lisa Franchetti, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff James Slife, and the judge advocates general of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
Wednesday gave us a court filing in which the Department of Defense declared that it's about to initiate a fast-paced program to ferret out transgender military members and discharge them from the military
[JustTheNews] Law enforcement being put in harm's way with Illinois’ migrant sanctuary policies, the Illinois Sheriffs Association says.
State and local law enforcement are being put in harm's way with Illinois’ migrant sanctuary policies, the Illinois Sheriffs Association says.
Association Executive Director Jim Kaitschuk said the National Sheriffs Association put out a note to their state partners that there are 700,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement administrative arrest warrants that are active. But, that doesn’t matter in Illinois.
“Illinois law enforcement is precluded and prohibited from participating in any activity that is solely related to civil enforcement,” Kaitschuk told The Center Square.
Illinois law, through the TRUST Act and The Way Forward Act, prohibits state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials if a civil detention order is the only thing ICE has against someone.
While Kaitschuk said they can cooperate when there are criminal orders, law enforcement not being able to cooperate with civil warrants can still cause security concerns.
“Unfortunately things do go wrong, right, and then we’re in a situation where you may not know anything about what’s occurring,” Kaitschuk said. “So, we’re kind of blind in those cases.”
Daily immigration arrests nationwide haven’t been comprehensively published, but some estimates are more than 21,000 immigration detentions across the country since Jan. 20, when President Donald Trump took office.
Last week, state Sen. Omar Aquino, D-Chicago, told a group of immigration advocates that Illinois will stand strong.
“You are not going to come into our house and just try to take people and separate families in this state,” Aquino said. “People have rights. They are human rights.”
Illinois law also limits ICE from using local county detention facilities. Kaitschuk said the state’s sanctuary policies prohibit police from even knowing whether they have a suspected illegal immigrant in their jail.
“And [ICE] they’re having to go to people’s houses and at the point in time, the problem then is that you may be subjecting people then that weren’t involved in any other criminal activity other than being here … not legally and open them up to being subjected to ICE at that point in time in that residence, as opposed to if they were at the jail, where they wouldn’t have been,” Kaitschuk said.
Illinois and Chicago officials are on the other side of the U.S. Department of Justice in litigation over migrant sanctuary policies. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is due in front of the U.S. House Oversight Committee Wednesday to discuss the city’s migrant sanctuary policies.

By that logic illegals should identify their illegal status up front when committing any crime in Illinois to guarantee a safe escape. “Hello, I’m Bob. I claim illegal status for the purposes of this car jacking today. Please include my immigration status in any 911 call subsequent to my departure from the crime scene.”

Why do these illegals still have their EBT cards and phones?
It seems to me that would make them much, much easier to find when the time comes.
That definitely is a perspective on the situation. Not remotely connected to reality, but a perspective.
[BREITBART] On Friday's broadcast of CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... 's ''Situation Room,'' House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) argued that the Trump administration hasn't focused on the problems of everyday Americans, while Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... are ''continuing to make sure that we focus on trying to make life better for everyday Americans.'' And ''We have to drive down the high cost of living. We have to secure the border.''
Jeffries said, ''Look, what we've seen from the Trump administration over the last several weeks is just a flood of unprecedented extremism and a parade of horribles that continue to be unleashed on the American people, while, at the same time, the Trump administration is not focused on solving the problems of everyday Americans. We're continuing to make sure that we focus on trying to make life better for everyday Americans. Fundamentally, that's why we were sent to Washington, D.C.''
With that as the official Democratic Party approach, betcha fewer Democrats will be sent to DC after the next election in two years.
He continued, ''We have to drive down the high cost of living. We have to secure the border. We have to keep communities safe. We have to protect our DREAMers and farm workers and families. These are the things that matter, as opposed to creating crisis-like moments when we should be coming together and demonstrating leadership for the free world.''
