Since taking office for a second term, illegal border crossings have dropped to record lows under President Donald Trump. However, his mass deportation policies are facing criticism, as detractors argue that his administration is not solely targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records, and the crackdown could adversely affect industries that rely on migrant workers. In response, there is a bipartisan push to allow certain illegal immigrants who have lived and worked in the country since before 2021 to remain in the country. Florida Republican Congresswoman Maria Salazar spearheaded the Dignity Act and joins the Rundown to discuss her efforts. For decades, we've seen headlines about honeybee colony collapses plaguing beekeepers. Now the headlines are back, as honeybees are dying in record numbers. With more than a third of our food crops dependent on these vital pollinators, there is concern that these collapses could have wide-sweeping financial impacts for Americans. Ryan Burris, president of the California State Beekeepers Association and a third-generation beekeeper, joins the podcast to explain why so many bees are dying and why he is advocating for stronger government support in providing farmers with the tools to fight evolving threats to the nation's food system.

Republican Congressman Gabe Evans, who represents Colorado's District 8, has signed onto the Dignity Act, which he says will reform the immigration system and give legal status to undocumented people without giving them citizenship or amnesty. We also ask about ICE arrests, international aid, and the economy. Then, the Trump administration wants to stop Colorado from shutting down coal plants in the state. And the great-granddaughter of "the unsinkable Molly Brown" is in Denver to share new history about her legendary great-grandmother. 

On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Josh McGill delivered a jam-packed episode featuring expert insights and compelling conversations, headlined by a deep dive into immigration reform and its implications for agriculture. The show spotlighted the newly introduced Dignity Act of 2025, a bipartisan bill aimed at resolving the nation's immigration and labor issues, a topic especially critical to California's ag industry. Josh outlined the bill's key components, including a seven-year legal status pathway for undocumented immigrants who've been in the country since before 2021. The bill offers work and travel authorization, protection from deportation, and introduces no taxpayer burden since it's fully funded by the applicants' $7,000 restitution payments. Enhanced border security, mandatory E-Verify, and expedited asylum processing are also baked into the legislation. The episode also featured a wide-ranging conversation with Stephen Paul of Homegrown Organic Farms, one of the most respected names in organic produce. Paul described the current harvest as one of the best in years, thanks to cooler-than-usual July weather and strong yields across commodities. The conversation touched on everything from the challenges of fig production to organic certification, international partnerships, and the importance of year-round relationships with retailers like Whole Foods. Paul also echoed the urgency of immigration reform: “There are so many good people contributing to agriculture who deserve a legal pathway to stay and work.” As the show wrapped, Nick and Josh looked ahead to upcoming episodes covering almonds, dairy, water issues, and more. Tune in every weekday to AgNet News Hour for timely news, in-depth interviews, and sharp insight into the people and policies shaping agriculture.

//The Wire//2000Z July 17, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TENSIONS CONTINUE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AMID RENEWED TARGETING IN GAZA AND WEST BANK. CONGRESS WEIGHS IMMIGRATION AMNESTY BILL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Gaza: The war continues as before amid Israeli forces conducting the high-profile targeting of a Christian Church. The Holy Family Church in Gaza City was struck with a tank shell overnight, which resulted in 3x parishioners being killed and many people inside being wounded, including the parish Priest Fr. Gabriel Romanelli.Analyst Comment: This attack comes after weeks of increased violence on Christian Churches in the West Bank, as Israeli settlers have conducted arson attacks on Churches throughout the region as recently as two days ago. This also comes two years after another high-profile Church bombing, in which the IDF targeted a site adjacent to the Church of St. Porphyrius a few days after the war began in October, 2023. That strike killed over a dozen people, and the Church was heavily damaged during the strike.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - In Congress, Rep. María Elvira Salazar introduced the "Dignity Act" on Tuesday, an immigration reform bill which seeks to grant amnesty to "long-term immigrants" via new work programs. Separately, in the Senate, Bill 225 has been introduced as the End Unaccountable Amnesty Act, which seeks to remove the ability for the DHS to grant immigrants Temporary Protected Status (TPS), as well as allow the deportation of unaccompanied minors that were dropped off at the border.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Washington, rumors are growing pertaining to the strikes in Iran a few weeks ago. In short, grumblings are beginning to emerge that indicate the airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were not as effective as first touted. Both American and Israeli media outlets have been trying to float this story for a few days, of course citing the usual "unnamed sources" that can't be verified in any way. Whether or not this information is true is largely immaterial when it comes to the potential for this whole affair to kick off again. Right now, there aren't many indicators suggesting the US is interested in escalating things again. However, with strong domestic dissent regarding the handling of issues such as the Epstein scandal, the motivation for diversionary actions is quite high. This consideration, while certainly out on a limb at the moment, is still worth remembering as there might not be much notice of impending escalations with any of the global conflicts currently on the table.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Florida Representative María Salazar --whose parents were foreigners to America, and who still maintains her bonds to her non-American heritage by spelling "María" in the Spanish fashion using the "acento ortográfico" over the "i"—is leading a group of RINO GOP traitors in pushing her “Dignity Act” that would grant mass amnesty to millions of illegal migrant third-world invaders of our nation. In effect, María would have us extend "dignity" to illegal migrant third-world invaders who broke into our nation against our will and laws, and now demand to stay, with a fast-track to American citizenship—and the interim a status as a sub-class of menial laborers ineligible for full participation in American society.In other words, she's advocating for an illegal migrant apartheid in America.And this is GOOD news. Why? Because these RINO GOP traitors to our nation are exposing themselves to public view. In a nation where our own LEGAL immigrants are overwhelmingly in favor of deporting the 100 million illegal migrant third-world invaders in our nation, including deporting all the unlawfulness, gangs, drugs, violent crime, and consumption of billions of dollars of scarce American resources—including housing, healthcare, employment, education, and more—MAGA is perfectly equipped to politically excise GOP RINO politicians like María Salazar from Congress. Indeed, given that María Salazar is in a congressional district that is R +20, in the area of south Miami, her traitorous proposed legislation perfectly opens the door for virtually ANYBODY on the right to primary against her and win easily. The #1 guide for understanding when using force to protect yourself is legal.

Marc & Kim fire up Hour 1 by slamming the Biden-Harris ticket as a national embarrassment, highlighting Biden's bumbling NATO performance and the coordinated PR spin trying to save face. In Segment 2, Biden's age, fitness, and media gaslighting come under fire with some serious pushback from even mainstream media figures. In Kim on a Whim, they dissect ESPN's woke collapse with Sam Ponder revealing her firing came down to simply stating biological facts—Marc and Kim expose Disney's activist rot from the inside. Finally, they torch Maria Salazar's so-called “Dignity Act,” exposing it as an amnesty trap that rewards illegal immigration while pretending to offer compromise. From crumbling leadership to cultural decay, Hour 1 pulls no punches.

President Trump travels to battleground Pennsylvania to tout new investments in artificial intelligence while also trying to drum up support for his sweeping domestic agenda. Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) joins Meet the Press NOW to discuss the Dignity Act, a new bipartisan legislation she co-sponsored with Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) that would allow some undocumented immigrants to apply for legal status. NBC News Correspondent Vaughn Hillyard is on the ground in Tucson, Arizona ahead of a special election primary to fill the seat of late Congressman Raúl Grijalva.

AgNet News Hour: Immigration Reform, Border Concerns, and a Call to Protect California Farm Labor In today's AgNet News Hour, hosts Nick “The Ag Meter” Papagni and Josh McGill bring you an in-depth, powerful conversation with Manuel Cunha, President of the Nisei Farmers League, who delivers a passionate and eye-opening look into the state of agricultural labor in California and the urgent need for immigration reform. Cunha pulls no punches, outlining the very real fears many farm workers live with daily—from Border Patrol raids in rural towns to the looming threat of deportation for long-time community members who have worked in California's fields for decades. As harvest season hits full swing with tree fruit, grapes, garlic, and almonds, farmers are bracing for labor shortages while navigating a legal and political maze that has left both employers and employees uncertain and exposed. The episode also explores the rising costs and complications of the H-2A program, with Cunha explaining why it's often unworkable for California producers. He calls for a new guest worker program that provides temporary legal status and protections for the existing ag workforce—a workforce that was hailed as essential during COVID but has been left behind by politics ever since. Listeners will hear stories from the field, including families torn by fear, parents working long hours to put children through college, and farmers facing constant pressure from overlapping state and federal agencies. Cunha outlines actionable solutions, including bipartisan collaboration on the Dignity Act and a broader alliance with other industries—like construction, hospitality, and restaurants—to push immigration reform forward. This episode is a must-listen for any grower, rancher, policymaker, or citizen concerned with the future of food production in California. Catch the full interview and analysis at AgNetWest.com, or subscribe to the AgNet West podcast on your favorite platform. The stakes are high, the stories are real—and the time to act is now.

Send us a textOn this Episode of The Plant Movement Podcast, we welcome back Martha Vega from National Community Service to discuss one of the most pressing issues affecting the agricultural industry: immigration.A Look at Immigration Policies and Realities: Martha Vega, who previously appeared on Episode 35, provides her expert insights on the current immigration landscape. She explains that while Donald Trump's administration has made immigration policies more visible, they are not fundamentally different from those of past administrations. Many undocumented workers in Florida have the means to become legal but lack proper information, which organizations like National Community Service strive to provide.Addressing Fears and Seeking Solutions: Willie and Martha discuss the fears many undocumented individuals and business owners face when dealing with immigration concerns. Many are hesitant to seek help due to misinformation and fear of exposure. Martha emphasizes the importance of consulting qualified immigration attorneys and organizations instead of falling victim to scammers who take advantage of vulnerable individuals.The Current Immigration Climate: With reports of increased patrol activity and executive orders prioritizing the deportation of undocumented individuals with criminal records, many are living in uncertainty. While the Constitution allows for these measures, Martha highlights cases where individuals with pending asylum cases and work permits have been unfairly detained. However, those who can prove they live law-abiding lives are often released quickly.Real-Life Cases and Legal Pathways: Martha shares examples of individuals who have faced immigration challenges and how legal intervention has helped them. She also discusses the importance of preparing for potential detainment by setting up power of attorney and ensuring that children and property are taken care of in case of deportation.Understanding Visa Options: For those in the Green Industry looking for legal employment solutions, Martha outlines visa options like the H-2A and H-2B programs, which allow foreign workers to be legally employed in agriculture and other industries. She encourages businesses to seek Department of Labor certification to ensure compliance and avoid workforce disruptions.The Dignity Act: A Path to Legalization: Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar's proposed Dignity Act is a bipartisan bill that aims to provide a path to legal status for undocumented individuals who have lived law-abiding lives. Martha urges listeners to contact their congressmen to support this initiative, which could provide stability for millions of individuals and businesses that rely on immigrant labor.Moving Forward with Knowledge and Faith: Misinformation often prevents people from taking the right steps. Martha stresses the importance of obtaining accurate information from reliable sources like National Community Service, which offers free consultations and legal assistance. Connect with National Community ServiceFor those needing assistance, National Community Service is located at 1883 West Flagler Street, Suite 3, Miami. They provide information clinics and connect individuals with trusted immigration attorneys. For more details, call 305-244-3125 or 305-303-3092.Final ThoughtsImmigration is a complex and emotional topic, but with the right resources, individuals and businesses can find solutions. Willie and Martha encourage listeners to take action, stay informed, and support policies that benefit the community.Support the show

Serene Mechel-Dillman talks about the global success of her film documenting first-hand accounts of the terminally ill who have used medical aid in dying (MAID). Airing on Amazon Prime, Take Me Out Feet First has been in the top five TV documentaries for the past three months, with more than 24 million minutes of viewing. About Serene A New York native and dancer with a passion for the visual arts, Serene attended The School of American Ballet, Tenafly High School then The University of Vermont. Post graduation, she opted out of law school and worked at an advertising agency in New York, founded a company that imported baskets from Haiti, then moved to Los Angeles to work in production on television commercials. Commercial production stuck and she worked her way up until she became a producer. In 2014 Serene conceived and directed the documentary film, “Getting to The Nutcracker”, a behind the scenes look at what it takes to produce the classic ballet from auditions to final performance. The movie garnered 7 major festival awards, including a Grand Jury Prize, Audience Award, Best Direction, and Best Feature Documentary. Her second documentary, “The 5th Dementia” is about a Los Angeles-based band whose members live with Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's. They are able to sing and play music despite their neurodegenerative diseases. "Take Me Out Feet First" is her first documentary series. The first 6 episodes of season 1 are currently airing on Amazon Prime. Look for season 2 later this year. Key Takeaways Medical aid in dying (MAID) is the practice where a physician provides a terminally ill patient with the means to voluntarily and intentionally end their own life. This usually involves prescribing a lethal dose of medication that the patient can self-administer. "Medical aid in dying" is distinct from "assisted suicide." Medical aid in dying involves the self-administration of prescribed medication by terminally ill patients, and there are strict safeguards in place to prevent abuse. Oregon's Death with Dignity Act, enacted in 1997, has not reported a single instance of abuse since its initiation 27 years ago. The term "suicide" implies a desire to die, whereas medical aid in dying is a choice made by individuals facing an unavoidable terminal illness. Compassion & Choices is a nonprofit organization in every US state that advocates for end-of-life care options, including medical aid in dying. The organization works to expand and improve end-of life care and ensure that patients can make their own decisions about their treatment and how they wish to spend their final days.

In this episode of LifeBeat, we introduce ·Life. The Other Choice.,· an organization-wide refresh built around our new multi-media ads that includes the ads, a new website and brand refresh. We also provide updates on the ·Death with Dignity Act,· a package of bills that were introduced in the Michigan Senate last November and are likely to be heard in committee sometime over the next couple of months. The package of bills would legalize physician-assisted suicide in Michigan. We wrap up the episode with a summary of new polling from the Marketing Resource Group. The poll results were extremely encouraging, with an overwhelming majority of Michigan voters in favor of retaining parental consent, informed consent and safeguards against the use of tax dollars to pay for abortions.

It's easy to fixate on the statistics at the southern border, as millions of migrants and gotaways cross every day. However, there are human lives behind these numbers — so how can we work to ensure the innocent ones are treated with respect? Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) and Congresswoman Hillary Scholten (D-MI) discuss their bipartisan efforts to create the Dignity Act – which aims to improve security and processing systems at the border while also ensuring migrants who have been living and working in America for five years receive fair treatment from the government. Later, they discuss how the border crisis has impacted both of their states in unique ways, and how they found themselves working across the aisle with one another on this issue.

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday, #LALiens. If you ask Mike, Ye is getting back on the throttle. Will there be an awakening of the American spirit? . Today, Norm and Mike discuss: . › The United States Centers for Disease Control is reporting that data emerging from 2021 shows that life expectancy for men is nearly six (6) years less than for women.

The Left of Lansing Friday Short this week applauds a trio of state Senate Democrats (Mary Cavenagh of Redford Twp., Kevin Hertel of St. Clair Shores, and Veronica Klinefelt of Eastpoint) for introducing the Death with Dignity Act.  If passed, Michigan would become the 11th state to grant terminally ill patients the power to make their own end-of-life decisions. Since the legislative calendar is finished for the rest of this year, the bills will have to wait until next year. But it ought to pass in bipartisan fashion. It's about personal freedom, and it's about compassion. Thanks for listening. --Pat leftoflansing@gmail.com  leftoflansing.com

California's Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act was meant to protect transgender people, reducing the trauma of physical and sexual assault experienced by many transgender women in particular when housed in men's prison. But the culture at state prisons and rising anti-trans fervor throughout the country have exposed some transgender women to new traumas. Like Syiaah Skylit, who is currently in solitary confinement at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla. She's experienced harassment, taunting, and attacks from other incarcerated women because of her gender identity. Reporter Lee Romney, who covered criminal justice at the LA Times, and Jenny Johnson, a former public defender, spent a year interviewing Syiaah and other transgender incarcerated people  to gauge how the law – meant to protect gender-expansive people in prison–  may not actually be working out the way it was intended.

Dr. Mark Pickering joins Tim to talk about the disturbing spread of  and interest in human euthanasia throughout western cultures, particularly in Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. Mark is a general practitioner of family medicine. He focuses his work on prisons and other similarly secure facilities. In addition, he is the head of the Christian Medical Fellowship in the United Kingdom. In this conversation, we talk about the myths and the realities of assisted suicide. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Human_Euthanasia_is_Here_auphonic.mp3 In 1997, the state of Oregon passed the Death with Dignity Act, which allowed the medically assisted suicide for people who were terminally ill. Since that time, over 3,280 people received prescriptions for legal doses of medications under the act's provisions. The state reports that of those who received prescriptions, 2,159 people actually took the medications and died from the lethal dosages. Since 1942, the nation of Switzerland has allowed assisted suicide. But according to the government, it only allows this form of euthanasia so long as, “the motives are not selfish.” Closer to home, in Canada in 2016, the Canadian government legalized medical assistance in dying. The acronym for this is MAID. The Canadian Supreme Court had decided that existing laws that prohibited assisted suicide were an afront to individual rights. Here's how the MAID program started. Medical professionals - doctors and nurses - would administer lethal injections or fatal medications to patients who met a specific criteria. The individual had to have a serious illness or disability; the individual had to be in what the government described as an “advanced state” of decline that could not be reversed; the individual had to be experiencing unbearable physical or mental suffering; or the individual had to be at the point where natural death had become “reasonably foreseeable.” Notice that nowhere in Canada's original requirements did the individual have to be terminally ill. But that was just the beginning.  Before long, anyone who wanted help with suicide was able to get it. Canadians who were depressed, stressed, or just economically poor or in a state of mental distress could get help with their own suicide. In 2021, the government relaxed the condition that that natural death must be “reasonably foreseeable.” After that, the stories of Canadians being presented with suicide as a medical option included some who were just temporarily homeless or in some kind of pain that otherwise could be treated. Consider the story of Alan Nichols. When he was a child, he lost his hearing. He had had a stroke. But overall, at 61 years old, he was able to live on his own. Then in 2019 he was admitted to the hospital over concerns that he might be at risk of committing suicide. He was mentally unstable. Not in his right mind. While he was in the hospital, he pleaded with his brother Gary to get him out of the Canadian hospital. Over the course of the next four weeks, he then was reported to have applied for medically assisted suicide under the MAID program. The only medical condition he listed as his reason for wanting to die was being hard of hearing. Instead of treating Nichols' obvious mental instability, the hospital supported his desire to kill himself and provided its own justification. It said Nichols had some vision loss, that he was frail, that he had a history of seizures and in their words, he had a “failure to thrive,” whatever that means. The hospital framed the process as Nichols requesting to die by lethal injection, and it saw that rationale as valid. The procedure was carried out expeditiously. When the Associated Press talked to Nichols' brother Gary, he said that his brother Alan, “was basically put to death.” Inmates on death row are forced to wait much longer. Mark Pickering is on the front lines of this issue.

In a bipartisan 63-36 vote, the Senate passed a debt limit package, bringing an end to the ongoing stalemate on negotiations. The compromised legislation contains concessions from both parties, suspending the debt limit into 2025 while also setting new caps on discretionary spending. The deal comes just days before the country was expected to default on its debt, which some experts say would've yielded catastrophic economic consequences. FOX Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains the contents of the bill, the threats to Speaker McCarthy's leadership, and what the bipartisan compromise means for the divided government.   House members Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and Maria Salazar (R-FL) are spearheading a new bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill this year titled the Dignity Act, with the odds against them because despite many attempts, this kind of reform has fallen short over the past several decades. FOX News Correspondent Griff Jenkins weighs in on the probability that this bill could pass both the House and the Senate.   Learn more about your ad choices.

An update on the situation in Turkey & Syria: https://www.theepochtimes.com/earthquake-death-toll-crosses-5000-as-turkey-experiences-285-aftershocks_5039212.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport&src_src=partner&src_cmp=BonginoReport Earthquake Death Toll Passes 7,200 as Turkey Experiences 285 Aftershocks The death toll from the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have exceeded 7,200, with thousands more injured, infrastructure crumbling, and rescue groups struggling to bring aid to the victims. In Turkey, at least 5,434 people are confirmed dead. In Syria, state news agency SANA reported at least 1,832 deaths. Combined, at least 7,266 people have died in Turkey and Syria. In total, at least 3,749 people are estimated to have been injured in Syria. Turkey’s injured are estimated to be over 30,000. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the death toll could rise to around 20,000 in the coming days. The first quake, with an epicenter in the Pazarcik district of Turkey’s southern Province, had a magnitude of 7.8. A second quake of 7.6 magnitude hit the same region nine hours later, worsening the situation. Turkey experienced 285 aftershocks. U.S. President Joe Biden “noted that U.S. teams are deploying quickly to support Turkish search and rescue efforts and coordinate other assistance that may be required by people affected by the earthquakes, including health services or basic relief items,” a readout of Biden’s conversation with Turkish President on Jan. 6 said. The earthquakes have caused widespread devastation in Turkey. A video shared on Twitter shows innumerable buildings turned to rubble, with only a few tall buildings still standing. Another video shows a building crashing down while people run for safety. In Turkey’s southern region, which is home to some of the worst-hit cities, damaged roads and poor internet connections are hampering rescue attempts. In some places, freezing winter weather is also posing a challenge. Families were forced to sleep in cars lined up in the streets. Families wrapped themselves in blankets and gathered around fires to keep themselves warm. The Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Turkey (AFAD) is said to have deployed 13,740 search and rescue personnel as well as over 300,000 blankets, 100,000 beds, and 41,000 tents to the region. According to Organ Tatar, an official from AFAD, 5,775 buildings have been destroyed by the quake. “The infrastructure is damaged, the roads that we used to use for humanitarian work are damaged, we have to be creative in how to get to the people … but we are working hard,” U.N. resident coordinator -told Reuters. The earthquake on Monday is Turkey’s deadliest since a quake of similar magnitude hit the country in 1999 and killed over 17,000 people. https://www.dailyfetched.com/massive-human-trafficking-bust-sees-368-arrested-131-rescued-in-california-2/ Massive Human Trafficking Bust Sees 368 Arrested, 131 Rescued in California Three hundred sixty-eight people have been arrested, and 131 victims rescued in large-scale human trafficking operation by a multi-agency task force in California. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Michel Moore said: “We know that the sex trade is a prolific one that exists throughout this state and throughout our nation.” “It’s an ugly scar against this great country that exists too oftentimes in plain sight,” he added. Operation Reclaim and Rebuild occurred between Jan. 22 and Jan. 28 in nine counties, including Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino, Kiro7 reported. Various federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies teamed up for the effort, including the LAPD, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Victims of human trafficking, including ages ranging from 13 to 52, including children. Investigators worked with victim advocacy groups to provide resources “to help [victims] escape from this life-threatening environment,” he said. Investigators responded to advertisements offering sexual services and visited massage parlors suspected of being involved in sex trafficking. Among those arrested included pimps and panderers, Moore said. The victims, most of whom were kidnapped, face “threat of death” or coercion and are isolated from their former support to become dependent on the trafficker, Moore added. https://thepostmillennial.com/death-tourism-oregon-becomes-national-destination-for-assisted-suicide?utm_campaign=64487 'Death tourism': Oregon becomes national destination for assisted suicide Individuals residing in states that outlaw euthanasia, such as Texas, have started traveling to Oregon to gain assistance in their suicide, making the state the first "death tourism" destination in the US. According to the Daily Mail, Dr. Nicholas Gideonse, the director of End of Life Choices Oregon, recently admitted to assisting a man from Texas with Lou Gehrig's disease who came to the doctor's Portland clinic in achieving suicide and said that "for a small number of patients who otherwise qualify or are determined to go through that and who have the energy and the resources … it has started to happen." According to Oregon's official website, the state passed its Death with Dignity Act in 1997, "which allows terminally ill individuals to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose." The law enabled terminally ill patients expected to die within six months to request fatal drugs from doctors that the patient then takes and self-administers. In 2021, 238 people committed suicide via the program, and 383 doses of fatal drugs were prescribed by doctors. There was originally a restriction for people out-of-state but in 2021 Dr. Gideonse sued Oregon to lift the restriction, which was granted in 2022. Currently, if a resident from another state wants to go to Oregon for the fatal drugs, they are placed on a 15-day waiting period. In that time paperwork is processed and two doctors along with witnesses must sign off on the request for suicide by prescription. The expansion of Death with Dignity to out-of-staters is not yet law in Oregon but is expected to be codified this year with House Bill 2279. The law resembles Canada's state-sponsored euthanasia program known as medical assistance in dying (MAiD), originally intended for those with physical illnesses where death was a reasonable inevitability although it has been amended to allow those with mental health issues to apply. Dr. Gideonse's original lawsuit was over neighboring residents of Washington who wanted suicide drugs and has expanded to residents from further states, including those with strict laws against euthanasia. The executive director of the Patients Rights Action Fund, a group pushing back against Oregon's law, Matt Vallière, said "You end up in this Wild West scenario where people take the drugs back to their home states, and there are a lot more questions than there are answers about what would happen after that." Dr. Gideonse, who also has campaigned for legalizing psilocybin to treat depression, has connections with the Compassion & Choices group which "grew out of the 1980s right-to-die movement of the Hemlock Society and Jack Kevorkian — the pathologist and notorious 'Dr Death' who assisted scores of suicides and was ultimately convicted of murder," reports the Daily Mail.

The study reviewed 78 randomized control trials—experiments that have long been considered "the gold standard" for medicine—which assessed the effectiveness of face masks against flu, COVID-19, and similar illnesses. It found that wearing masks "probably makes little or no difference" for the general public, no matter what kind of mask is used. Even N95 masks, considered the most effective at filtering airborne particles, showed no clear benefit for health care workers. The study was published on January 30 by the Cochrane Library, a world-renowned medical database that is famous for its high-quality evidence reviews. It comes as a battering ram to the recommendations of the U.S. public health establishment, which urged children as young as two to wear masks throughout the pandemic. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/person-stuck-on-the-side-of-downtown-phoenix-building-says-phoenix-fire-dept 'Pro-life Spiderman' taken into custody after scaling former Chase tower in Phoenix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcaLtpAM0fE - Play 0:00-1:22 And that’s your news for today…

The victims, most of whom were kidnapped, face “threat of death” or coercion and are isolated from their former support to become dependent on the trafficker, Moore added. https://thepostmillennial.com/death-tourism-oregon-becomes-national-destination-for-assisted-suicide?utm_campaign=64487 'Death tourism': Oregon becomes national destination for assisted suicide Individuals residing in states that outlaw euthanasia, such as Texas, have started traveling to Oregon to gain assistance in their suicide, making the state the first "death tourism" destination in the US. According to the Daily Mail, Dr. Nicholas Gideonse, the director of End of Life Choices Oregon, recently admitted to assisting a man from Texas with Lou Gehrig's disease who came to the doctor's Portland clinic in achieving suicide and said that "for a small number of patients who otherwise qualify or are determined to go through that and who have the energy and the resources … it has started to happen." According to Oregon's official website, the state passed its Death with Dignity Act in 1997, "which allows terminally ill individuals to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose." The law enabled terminally ill patients expected to die within six months to request fatal drugs from doctors that the patient then takes and self-administers. In 2021, 238 people committed suicide via the program, and 383 doses of fatal drugs were prescribed by doctors. There was originally a restriction for people out-of-state but in 2021 Dr. Gideonse sued Oregon to lift the restriction, which was granted in 2022. Currently, if a resident from another state wants to go to Oregon for the fatal drugs, they are placed on a 15-day waiting period. In that time paperwork is processed and two doctors along with witnesses must sign off on the request for suicide by prescription. The expansion of Death with Dignity to out-of-staters is not yet law in Oregon but is expected to be codified this year with House Bill 2279. The law resembles Canada's state-sponsored euthanasia program known as medical assistance in dying (MAiD), originally intended for those with physical illnesses where death was a reasonable inevitability although it has been amended to allow those with mental health issues to apply. Dr. Gideonse's original lawsuit was over neighboring residents of Washington who wanted suicide drugs and has expanded to residents from further states, including those with strict laws against euthanasia. The executive director of the Patients Rights Action Fund, a group pushing back against Oregon's law, Matt Vallière, said "You end up in this Wild West scenario where people take the drugs back to their home states, and there are a lot more questions than there are answers about what would happen after that." Dr. Gideonse, who also has campaigned for legalizing psilocybin to treat depression, has connections with the Compassion & Choices group which "grew out of the 1980s right-to-die movement of the Hemlock Society and Jack Kevorkian — the pathologist and notorious 'Dr Death' who assisted scores of suicides and was ultimately convicted of murder," reports the Daily Mail. Tucker Carlson & Charles Camosy spoke on this very subject. https://rumble.com/v1adg4j-charles-camosy-on-the-way-assisted-suicide-is-increasingly-being-pushed.html - Play Video Classical Conversations Classical Conversations supports homeschooling parents by cultivating the love of learning through a Christian worldview in fellowship with other families.

The study reviewed 78 randomized control trials—experiments that have long been considered "the gold standard" for medicine—which assessed the effectiveness of face masks against flu, COVID-19, and similar illnesses. It found that wearing masks "probably makes little or no difference" for the general public, no matter what kind of mask is used. Even N95 masks, considered the most effective at filtering airborne particles, showed no clear benefit for health care workers. The study was published on January 30 by the Cochrane Library, a world-renowned medical database that is famous for its high-quality evidence reviews. It comes as a battering ram to the recommendations of the U.S. public health establishment, which urged children as young as two to wear masks throughout the pandemic. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/person-stuck-on-the-side-of-downtown-phoenix-building-says-phoenix-fire-dept 'Pro-life Spiderman' taken into custody after scaling former Chase tower in Phoenix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcaLtpAM0fE - Play 0:00-1:22 And that’s your news for today…
