"Even when she was being prepped outside the operating room for organ harvesting, her nostrils flared, and she could breathe independently from the respirator. She was also moving her lips and tongue. But, it was only when Burns was actually in the operating room and had opened her eyes that doctors called off the procedure.
"Dead people don't curl their toes," said Dr. Charles Wetli, a nationally known forensic pathologist out of New Jersey who reviewed the case for the Post-Standard, said. "And they don't fight against the respirator and want to breathe on their own.""
"In fact, there was no review at all until the Health Department made a surprise visit. That resulted in a one-page document that said the mistake was made because of "perception differences."
Lucille Kuss, Burns' mother, told the Post-Standard that the hospital never told her why they almost had removed her daughter's organs while she was still alive.

@AntiCommieBecca @michellmybell1 Because they've never lived under it.
Because America's post war prosperity has made them soft, naive, and complacent.
Because they're ignorant of history.
Because our universities, news media, and government are populated by leftists.
Same in Western Europe.

Capitalism is why healthcare is measured in profits instead of health outcomes.
…why there are poisons in your food.
…why military contractors lobby politicians to start wars.
…why media spies on you to sell things.
…why technology exploits your data.
…why you aren’t paid enough to afford anything.
There will be no renaissance until we care more about each other, instead of how much money a very few people can make by exploiting the rest of us.
Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie
If America would embrace capitalism and reject cronyism in health care, agriculture, military contracting, insurance, media, technology, and banking, we would experience a renaissance unprecedented in human history.

@FinancialPhys What does any of that have to do with capitalism?
English
If government spending going to ZERO tomorrow would collapse the economy… 37.9% of GDP
•US debt = $39+T
•State/local debt = $6.1+T
•Unfunded liabilities = $130+T
Total debt per American $533,333 (NOT INCLUDING PERSONAL DEBT)
—Explain capitalism lifting people from poverty
English
@FinancialPhys Sorry. Uncontrolled deficit spending and debasement of currency is not a feature of capitalism, nor free market economies. It's a characteristic of poor government. You're confusing the two.

Sea levels have risen 130 meters over the last 25,000 years. Most of that long before the Industrial Revolution. This reflects a powerful natural process which we probably don't have the ability to stop.
So many Leftist claims are based on lies and childish fantasy. The polar bears are dying. Men can be women. The wealthy don't pay their fair share. Males have no advantage over females in sports. All disparities are due exclusively to racism & sexism. Words are violence. Slavery was uniquely European.

Al Gore says the doomsday predictions from climate scientists 20 years ago "were proven dead right," so we should take them even more seriously now.
He says it's "inevitable that we're going to see Greenland go and the west Antarctic ice sheet go."
Reminder, in 2006, Gore warned that the world would reach a "point of no return" in 10 years.
He also said there would be "no more snows of Kilimanjaro" within a decade, which proved false.
He also predicted in 2009 that there was a 75% chance of the North Pole losing all of its ice during parts of the summer by the year 2016. That didn't happen, either.

You sound like an angry Marxist with zero common sense who believes theft is a good thing so long as it victimizes other people, not you. Those people you don't like.
No morals. No principles.
Bigot.

@elonmusk Congressional testimony from a former US Border Patrol agent illustrating how utterly determined the Biden/Harris administration was to change US demographics in favor of their party.
🇺🇸RealRobert🇺🇸@Real_RobN
And here it is: One of the most shocking testimonies in United States congressional history. J.J. CARRELL served in the United States Border Patrol for twenty-four years until he retired as a deputy patrol agent in charge in the San Diego Sector. He worked under five presidential administrations, and only one president secured the border: President Donald Trump. J.J. CARRELL: “I state without reservation that the United States federal government, under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is the world’s largest child sex-trafficking organization in modern history. The probability that thousands of these children are being raped at this very moment is one hundred percent. “Border Patrol agents went from working and being supported by the greatest border president in American history to the worst, President Joe Biden. My last year in the Border Patrol was Joe Biden’s first year in office. On his first day in office, I watched in disbelief as ninety-four executive orders cascaded down from Washington, D.C., obliterating every immigration policy that had provided the most secure border in America’s history. Border agents were forced to carry out unconstitutional orders that violated every law in the Immigration and Nationality Act. President Biden, through Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, created policy out of thin air, ignored federal immigration law, and facilitated the largest mass invasion into America that the world has ever seen. “The United States of America will have spent hundreds of billions of dollars in four years to fund the needs of over fifty million illegal aliens who populate our nation. Between one in six and one in seven residents in America is an illegal alien. America has suffered the greatest demographic shift in modern history. “After serving in the United States Border Patrol for twenty-four years, I state with complete certainty that Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas are intentionally, strategically, and purposely weaponizing illegal immigration and using it as a tool to fundamentally transform America. Inside this invasion, the unspoken evil of child trafficking, and more specifically child sex trafficking, has flourished. At the end of this current administration, the number of children trafficked will have grown to over five hundred and fifty thousand unaccompanied alien children, known as UACs.” The death penalty.

It is the end of democracy if voter ID is not passed

@jan_murray We have 100+ years of Olympic records which refute this claim across virtually every event.

Guardian columnist Zoe Williams claims the reason we don't have mixed football teams is because “women are too good”. 🙄
Now, I’m no expert on football - but you don’t need to be. You can see it with your own eyes.
Watch an elite men’s match and an elite women’s match side by side. The men are, on average, quicker, stronger and more powerful - which changes the pace, intensity and physicality of the game.
Saying that doesn’t diminish women’s football. It’s simply acknowledging reality. Men’s and women’s football are different - because men and women are different.
This isn’t really about Williams - it’s about the kind of baseless arguments that get bandied around to justify men in women’s sports and spaces. Including by women themselves.

@CathyVox3927 @GinaSaysSo So state employees who retire shouldn't receive their pension if "they don't need it"? Teachers, firefighters, police officers left with nothing, because they lived prudently and invested wisely?
Who decides that?
If a private company did that it would be fraud.
English
My issue is with retirees who take Social Security and don't need it. As you said, it was meant for seniors who had no other livable means, not as a slush fund for the wealthy. It's not a 401K, it's welfare and is off the backs of workers today and those who NEED the funds. Not right.
English
Please stop with, 'Social Security was not meant to be your retirement income, it was meant to be a supplement.'
It's insulting to tens of millions of people who worked hard and honest their entire lives and rely on Social Security AS their retirement income.
So get off your high horse and understand that taxing Social Security when it was ALREADY taxed is HURTING the people it claims to be helping.
And, even more plain and more simple, for those of us who like to boil things down, Social Security is a cesspool of fraud.
To those who claim it's crazy to want a lump sum payment in the form of a REFUND for every dollar we put into this, take a look at how government protected our 'investment' in ourselves, and then talk to me about CRAZY.
Government TOOK our money and misappropriated the funds.
SOMETIMES intentionally.
ALWAYS without threat of punishment.
This is CRIMINAL, period.

@GinaSaysSo If a private company did this, the executives responsible would be serving time in prison for fraud.

@RockChartrand @LornaLe46125377 The top 1% of American taxpayers contribute 45% of all income tax. The bottom 50% of taxpayers contribute 3%. Yet the top 1% are the ones accused of not paying their "fair share."
It seems the greediest people are those who accuse others of it.

Funny how “greed” only shows up where government is most involved.
Healthcare, education, housing… prices explode.
But for Tech, TVs, software it's all generosity and falling prices.
Same “greedy” people.
Different incentives.

@ESchillup @therealmissjo Yes, and if I'm convicted for robbing a bank, my sentence will be less if I dashed out the bank's front door with the money instead of sauntering.

@therealmissjo So if this woman's father or brother hypothetically ended this rapists life, they'd face a lower sentence if they made it quick, vs drawing it out?

Utterly appalling. This has left me speechless.
This young Swedish girl is called Meya Åberg. She was 16 and was walking home after missing the bus. She was in a pedestrian tunnel when she encountered Yazied Mohamed, an 18 year old Eritrean refugee.
He raped her. She reported it immediately.
He was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison.
You would have thought that he would be deported afterwards. But no, the Swedish court ruled that although the crime was serious “the duration of the attack” was not long enough to warrant deportation.
Yes, you heard that correctly. She was not raped for long enough.
So Mohamed remains in Sweden.

(A) I'm guessing.
(B) Then don't rent it.
Agreeing to rent, then refusing to pay, while also refusing to vacate the property is theft. Just like shoplifting is theft.
Is shoplifting justified because you don't like the price? Then don't buy the product. Shop somewhere else. Don't steal.
Is it fair to order a large meal at a restaurant, then skip out on the bill, because you don't like the prices in the menu for the dishes you chose to order?
Same principle.

normal behavior ? so you assume everyone needs hot sauce and napkins? When I used to eat fast food I had a stack of left over napkins I never used and never asked for. Its really not hard if you want something to ask for it ... I mean you did have to order your food right ?
Now do I think this is probably over regulation yes but on the same page I just dont see the harm.

Welcome to the 2026 edition of the most ridiculous bill run in Colorado…
Meet SB26-146, the NAPKIN BAN. If this passes, your local Taco Bell can be fined up to $1,000 for giving you a napkin with your order if you didn’t request it.
Yes, you read that right.
Oh, and Taco Bell is also banned from giving you hot sauce packets if you didn’t ask or confirm you wanted them. But pho restaurants will get no penalty for giving you hoisin sauce packets.
Arby’s sauce is also ok, but your local coffee shop’s creamer or sweetener will be subject to the fine. The bill sponsors chose to make a list of which condiments can’t be given out without being requested, and they clearly don’t frequent certain types of restaurants.
Oh yes, they’re also banning cup sleeves on hot coffee unless you ask. So feel free to burn your hands in the name of saving the planet. And no straws with your Coke or Frappuccino either - unless you remember to ask.
If Door Dash doesn’t *clearly* communicate what utensils and sauces you want to the restaurant, and the restaurant packs a single unwanted napkin for you, Door Dash AND the restaurant can be fined up to $1,000.
Socialist rule at its finest. #copolitics

Environmentalism has become the pretext for control freaks to control every aspect of our lives.
In California, plastic grocery bags are now outlawed. They must be paper. Where I used to be able to carry 4 to 6 bags of groceries into the house in one trip, I now can only carry two. While hoping it doesn't rain and nothing leaks.
Where we reused the plastic bags for a number of things, we now put the paper bags directly into recycling.
One can argue about paper versus plastic. But not about the loss of freedom and choice.
This is part of a general trend including outlawing gas appliances, chainsaws, generators, gas cars, diesel trucks, and so on.
But most importantly, God forbid Taco Bell give me a paper napkin!
The background of the authors sponsoring this busybody Bill comes as no surprise.
