Compassion can collapse the city systems with overcrowding, the draining of limited resources and support services.
I feel bad for them especially if I hear their personal stories. The fact remains they are coming illegally, committing crimes & have respect for the country they’re invading. Are lives going to be severely affected & possibly out of jeopardy! They are sleeping on the streets of El Paso. Women and children are being sold and raped along the way. They are homeless. We don’t have resources for our own homeless.
This isn’t compassionate. Compassion can collapse a nation. Think about it like this, if you were on a life raft with 9 other people, the raft would sink with more than 10 people. You come across 20 people in the water, are you gonna be “compassionate” and allow them to sink your raft and kill everyone?
Compassion is preventing the USA from looking like the socialist disaster countries they are fleeing. Yeah, ok where is the compassion in that? Without a sufficient, functional border control system, there is NO way to protect the migrants from the very cartel criminals We are told they are escaping. The democrats are using these people to supplant their power-(no ID required to vote)
You obviously don’t understand economics. We already have 30% of our own in this country living in poverty. When you add people to the country in mass numbers, who pays for them? It’s just less money for the poor we already have. Not to mention drugs, guns, sex trafficking, streaming across borders. You’re so compassionate you would rather everyone live in squalor than to have controlled immigration.
For thousands of years, humans learn how to protect their houses and land. Learn the hard way, while every time their houses were devastated if they did not protect it. How many people can house one city? SF, LA, NY already overwhelmed with homeless. You want to add 1000? 1000000?
Oh you are so compassionate right? Why don’t you drive down to the border tonight and pick up as many as you can fit in your Prius and take them home with you and pay for their health care, food, lodging, gender transition surgeries, college, school supplies, utilities, etc? Do you have no compassion for the struggling communities that are so detrimentally impacted by these massive influxes? Are you indifferent to the human trafficking and abuses that occur by encouraging this kind of behavior?
You just look at it like it’s an innocent crime. Oh, and your “compassion” will bring in drugs, drug addicts, murderers, bank robbers and other capital crime offenders. etc. What other trash do you want coming in w/folks who want to make a better life for themselves and families. Just go through the process. It’s that simple. We already have millions 0f illegals in the US now – most on Govt dole; Mayorkas declares they are more important than funding for Veterans or Seniors! USA is broke but is paying for Everything for the illegals #BidenGoodieBags AND has been doing for 2 years NOW = NWO https://dcenquirer.com/bidens-border-
Girls’ underwear and clothing alongside condom.
YUMA AZ: Found on the Mexico side as the border invasion continues Women and children are being raped and trafficked to the US | @TPUSA. It isn’t about our resources! It’s about Tx ranchers finding used condoms next to little girls’ underwear in their fields! Then releasing those same men in our neighborhoods and saying we have to accept it for compassion.
We absolutely cannot stop letting migrants come in. It’s what made America in the first place and our economy is heavily dependent on them. We can’t be making decisions based on the bad aspects only. Legal immigration is fine, no one should skip the line in a dangerous disregarding way like this. That’s like if all the homeless in Oregon and Cali stormed Canada’s border, There’s a proper way to apply for immigration and it takes months and years of paperwork.
You don’t just show up. Anyone with a sliver of common sense realizes that incentivizing illegal immigration by toleration is the opposite of compassion. Look into it and you’ll find rape, murder, slavery, prostitution.. all enabled by the federal government’s unwillingness to enforce border law. You think you should be able to just walk into any country and expect to live there?
I am compassionate for immigrants who come here the right way. If these illegals are seeking asylum from Central America, they should be happy to be in Mexico. What happened to adhering to the US Immigration laws which read ‘enter at an official port of entry’. The US as a nation is not the world’s carekeeper. It’s called limited resources to care for a population of people larger than many American cities.
The problem needing to be addressed is the conditions back in their own countries of origin not US compassion. Years of paperwork and a very high denial rate even after that paperwork is a major reason why we have so many people just showing up.
We have homeless Americans living in tents in the woods and in their cars, with kids. Over 6 million people have come across the border since Biden became President. How many is enough? Maybe another million or so?
Where is the compassion for them? Do you know how many are waiting from across the world to come in and they are doing it the legal way?! Anything but regulated will cause imbalance and problems. Hunting the buffalo isn’t the problem, hunting all the buffalo at once is. The limits on entry are designed to not allow the economy to be overwhelmed. The USA was built on it when it was open land and too many made natives move.
I’m planning to go to the USA 100% legal. With all the papers, Illegal people are a freaking disrespect for us, because they go to America without papers or visa, and in a couple of years they will have citizenship. I would argue that the US has enough resources, but it is not well distributed. Also, another thing is, the American dream used to be and is still a lie.
My history teacher would comment that if every people in this planet would live like an American, we would need 3 more planets. Who says they care more about those people fleeing abject poverty, out of control violence, and tyrannical governments than they do about people in the US, many of whom are homeless because of bad choices.
These people coming here are seeking opportunities, not handouts. We *do* have resources for homeless people; we choose not to provide much. Lemme remind you that America is the richest nation on Earth, and every inequity is the result of choices made by the ruling and owning classes. It does us no good to punch down at our fellow human beings. We absolutely have the resources; we just don’t want to give it to them because they’re illegal. And I am sure BLM and Antifa are recruiting them?
No no no… we DO have the resources for our homelessness. We just don’t care… cmon now, be honest. We have 11 aircraft carriers that are about $10 billion each. The next highest country has 2… take ONE away and 10 billion can build lots of homeless shelters and hospitals. People are always going to immigrate whether it’s legal or not. Shutting down the border just stops the good immigrants, not the bad ones. ~Anonymous Comment
Democrats love illegal immigrants and hate voter IDs… We’re losing this country. The land is not yours; you stole it from the Native Americans and massacred them so that you could expand into it. But The USA must have rules to enter w/o rules there is chaos – this chaos is for the simple fact the democrats are continuing to put out the story that the USA will give you everything your heart desires, even allow you citizenship and to vote!
This is 100% Lunacy, 0h compassionate one, how many of these vagrants will you be taking in? Compassion is not invading a country. No other country allows anyone to come to their country w/o Legal process. Kids are being trafficked & we’re paying for these migrants, while Biden is inflating everything in America.
Wide open border is not humane to anyone! Women and children are assaulted and abused on the trip! They ‘re forced to work off the debt to drug cartels and human traffickers! Biden “lost” 85,000 unaccompanied kids! Probably lost in a sex trafficking ring. Human sex trafficking and drug smuggling and all the destruction wrecks on American cities is not compassion.
It comes after law and order and footing the bill for their housing, education, healthcare, etc., while we have doctor, teacher, housing and nurse shortages. There simply aren’t enough resources to deal with this. If you disagree, you can house and feed them yourself but tax payers are already burdened, people can’t afford basic living expenses, let alone having to pay for someone who essentially broke the law.
Why are they lying about it? Biden said he’s sending troops to the border to help expel them back. They also won’t allow any filming of the migrants getting on buses. They the Feds’ fly them into our small local airports in the middle of the night and bus, them out t0 who knows where from there.
You know they’re paying these agents under the table for them to just do as they’re told…What about “compassion” for American citizens first? Many Americans are suffering, struggling to buy food, medicine, housing, gas, etc due to Biden’s inflation. Now YOU want us to pay $60,000 PER YEAR per illegal for their “free” stuff.
We cannot save the whole world and jeopardize our own. Did you know they’ve been coming in, in thousands since Biden was in office? Their problem is since they’re not filming it or being truthful, why do we think those guys are still the good guys? They’ve let in more drugs that’s killing people, rape at the border., lost 85,000 kids.
We already ARE compassionate. It’s called Foreign Aid. Our compassion does NOT require changing the demographics of our entire society to ensure the Democrat party gets more votes. The Democrats aren’t being compassionate, they’re bringing in voters who will be indebted to them.
What happened to obeying the law?? Look at these invaders.
Do they look like they are starving or ragged or unclothed? There is a legal way to enter a sovereign nation, this isn’t it! Our borders are just like that. Compassion??? Why don’t you just leave your back door open 24/7 and see who walks through it.
Who are we letting in? Why do we have millions of single 20’s-30’s men only coming through? What about compassion for the thousands of young girls getting raped?
It is not compassionate if you are using other people’s money. The Government’s obligation is to its own citizens like the tens of thousands veterans who are not being cared for. How many tax dollars do communities have to divert from care of their own to care of illegals? Many of them were released from prison and mental institutions by their government sent to USA borders.
Are you serious…Wake-up America! Biden’s Greatest Failures – Search (bing.com) This could be an invading army, treat it as such. What about your compassion for our vets under overpasses, encampments of drug abusers in inner cities, the money to be taken from social services…?
Politics May 13, 2023, 2:07 PM EDT President Joe Biden on Saturday told graduates of a leading historically Black Liberal University that American history “has not always been a fairy tale” and that “racism has long torn us apart.” But on the nation’s best days, he said “enough of us have the guts and the heart to stand up for the best in us.” At Howard University, one of the nation’s most prestigious Black universities, Biden warned of assaults on democracy and called on attendees “to stand against books being banned and Black history being erased,” a critique of Republican rivals including Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Polls show the two leading a potential 2024 GOP primary field. Biden spoke after he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters degree. As Biden spoke, more than a dozen capped and gowned Howard University students stood with their backs to him in silent protest over what they said were many forms of white supremacist violence. The address at Howard University is the first of two commencement addresses Biden will deliver this year. Watch Biden’s remarks in the video Here.
Gov. Hochul Issues Emergency Order Over Migrant Crisis – Search (bing.com) The governor issued the executive order late on May 9 in an attempt to help New York deal with an influx of migrants. The influx is expected as Title 42 expires on May 11. According to Hochul, the order will grant NY the ability to request 500 more National Guard members to assist the city. The order will also allow NY to secure housing and other necessities for migrants. It is a crisis situation, especially with the suspension of Title 42 on Thursday, Gov. Kathy Hochul, via statement. It’s no surprise that there will also literally be thousands of more individuals coming across the border and ultimately finding their way to the state of New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul, via statement.
Hochul’s order may also help to subdue frustrations brought by Mayor Adams’ recent announcement of plans to move migrants to empty hotels in Rockland and Orange counties. We are in communication with the mayor’s team and also helping him find locations within the city limits, opening up state property and talking to other counties that are interested in having people come, Gov. Kathy Hochul, Hochul said a main hurdle is getting migrants approved to begin working legally. The number one priority for those here is to be able to get a job. We want them to gain employment, however, there’s constraint at the federal level as far as their designation, Gov. Kathy Hochul, via statement.
Migrants Request Asylum at US Border as Title 42 Expires – Search (bing.com) Migrants crossed the US border from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to El Paso, Texas, following the expiration of Title 42 on the night of Thursday, May 11. Also Footage from Corinne Boudreaux shows the situation at the border prior to the expiration of the COVID-related policy. Boudreaux told Storyful that the footage shows two families on the Paso del Norte International Bridge in anticipation of the expiration. Further footage shows migrants who had crossed the border waiting on US soil to be picked up and transported by US immigration authorities. Title 42 was used more than 2.8 million times from March 2020 by US authorities to expel migrants at the southern border without allowing them to request asylum, according to data from Customs and Border Protection. Citing officials, local media reported 13,000 migrants, more than double the current average, were expected to cross the southern border every day once Title 42 was lifted.
Caitlin Dickerson: Focusing on migrant numbers alone is misleading – Search (bing.com) With the lifting of pandemic-era border restrictions, the chaos that was widely predicted to erupt at the border failed to materialize. 2023 Pulitzer-prize winning immigration reporter Caitlin Dickerson of the Atlantic says focusing on migrant numbers in a vacuum fails to take into account that many migrants end up finding jobs within days of arrival. “Clearly Americans are benefiting from services they’re providing,” says Dickerson. “It’s up to us as journalists to be a little more sophisticated in the way that we cover it and make sure that we’re not playing into the sort of fear mongering over preexisting issues.”
Analysts see major hurdles in new US border policy – Search (bing.com) Legal and immigration analysts in the United States weighed in on the Biden administration’s sweeping policy shift at the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday as new asylum restrictions took effect aimed at encouraging migrants to seek asylum through legal pathways, after the COVID-era order that had allowed the swift expulsion of many migrants expired.

President Donald J Trump… you did nothing wrong except try to save our country ….why is that’s so bad. The funny thing was they said he was racist cause he said Chinese flu lol Ebola was Ebola river Spanish flu was the Spanish west Nile was Nile river lol but you’re not allowed to call the China Virus the China Virus even though it originated from a lab in Wuhan China bought and paid for by the Obama ADMINISTRATION. The 15 most offensive things that have come out of Trump’s mouth – POLITICO
Truer words were never spoken. I tried several times to examine “evidence” that he was a racist, but each “claim” referenced another, which then pointed to another, etc. None of them actually pointed to racism on the part of Trump. Not like with Biden; his racism is everywhere.
Democrats have absolutely No Reason to hate Trump. But like their liberal voters, AND their Leftist media, they ALL FEAR our Great Leader!
NWO NAZI SCUM hate President Trump out of FEAR of their punishment for crimes they have committed and will commit. He loves this country and wants all of us to prosper and to achieve the American dream!
This is the man I want in the Oval office!
I trust a man with this vision!!
Mainstream media applies social engineering to its audience. Just like Pavol’s dogs, the mere mention of TRUMP’s name brings out venomous hate. The lies just legitimize the unfounded hate. TRUMP tells it the way it is with Total Blunt Force Truth – Trump is the only one that has the balls N the brains to stand up to these Vile Criminals, Exactly! 100% TRUTH! And Liars hate.
% The Truth!!
Tired of Dems calling conservatives Nazis. My mothers side is Jewish. 33% of Jews are Republican. We believe in less control by the government…less school interference, less taxes, small government. Anonymous!!
Zersetzung: used by the Stasi. ..to deter individuals from political activity & to disrupt opposition movements by creating existential uncertainty. Under the Weimar Republic, … to weaken political rivals & infiltrate state institutions. ..disseminated subversive propaganda … That’s because they are scared to death of losing their power and grifts. They’ve been grifting so long they never thought we (the American people) would find out. Well, we all found out and they don’t wanna go to jail or worse.
They didn’t find him guilty of anything.. they found him liable in a civil case with a completely biased jury.. he wins on appeal, Actually they found him liable for an act they found he didn’t commit. That’s called a political outcome and it’s why it will be overturned on appeal. A jury of mostly women in Manhattan
Civil Court. The nutty woman couldn’t remember the day or year that a billionaire supposedly raped her in a high-end busy dept store?REAL rape victims remember the day, time, year, and everything else. The nutter has stated rape is sexual. She said she’s been raped 4 times. Unhinged A jury paid by the corrupt demonrats ….. You know it , everybody knows it…People like you deserve the destruction caused by creepy Joe, inflation, criminality, desorder, violence, corruption and lies….
If you believe DemocRats You are part of the problem.
Trump will never back down to what he believes is, Trump is our last hope to stop this abyss we are in. He won 2016 against all odds and thus derailed their plans, they stopped him in 2020/22 and are trying their best for 2024. You can clearly see how they sped up the agenda after 2020. The best choice to take down the swamp, cabal.
God bless him in his endeavor. WHAT Trump stands for is what’s Good For America; We supporters absolutely Respect AND Trust this man to Guide America!
WE know they lie about him.
They’re scared of being exposed and the demons inside them are nervous… If any R candidate thinks they won’t get the same treatment as Trump, they’re delusional. Do they have the fortitude to legally fight “rape” victims coming after 30 years?
Can they handle a coup against them?
They call him everything they are.
A Democrat Manhatten Jury. A woman he’s never met. A civil proceeding. Guilty is not a part of civil litigation. A woman who accused other Billionaires she never met of the same offense. A 40 year old case with NO WITNESS. Could not recall the time, or date. Never reported it or told anyone before. Financed by a left wing political group. Left Wing District Attorney. Case beyond the Statute of Limitations. A leftist Judge. All Nine said there was NO EVIDENCE of any Rape. Only a fool cannot see the seven year false persecution and prosecution of a man who has never committed a criminal offense.
Supposedly, the attack took place in a Lingerie Store, to be specific in the fitting room. Just imagine Donald Trump walking in a lingerie store without being recognized.
Exactly. A he said, she said trial. I have a hard time believing no one heard her scream and yell for help during this alleged rape in a freaking department store on a day, month and year she can’t even remember.
A biased jury. A biased Judge. A lying woman who has done this to other men. A woman who remembers no details whereas real victims have every detail burned in their memories A woman who said that she had a crush on him and was obsessed watching him on The Apprentice A woman who said she has rape fantasies and named her cat Vagina … A woman who’s trying to sell a book and democrats paid for her lawsuit. I’m just going to be honest. Real victims of sexual abuse or rape remember everything. They don’t treat it like it’s some joke. When she talks about it, I don’t see the pain that I see in other victims. It’s in their eyes. Hers are empty. Uh huh.
They call him a liar but can’t name the lie. They call him a racist but can’t cite a racist act. They call him a xenophobe, but he’s married to a legal immigrant. They call him corrupt, but he was never paid a penny. They call him a Nazi, but he has Jewish children, and moved the Israeli Embassy to Jerusalem. The truth is, politics is a slimy, corrupt, blackmail filled cesspool, and a private club of criminals with mutually assured destruction, and Donald Trump is not in it. They don’t hate Trump, they tell their minions too. They FEAR Trump, because they cannot blackmail or control him and he will expose them.
You have established a new level of death by “Ratio”. Read these responses with a genuine heart and you MIGHT be able to actually see that the sheer number of lies about Trump do not make sense. Why are they after him? Why are they determined to make you dislike him? Why do they fear him so? You really need to wake up before it’s too late for you, for all of us. This is the last chance you will have. We are facing a crisis never before seen in a free country, one that has all the earmarks of a total collapse into a tyrannical government that slaughters millions of its own citizens.
Good luck- take the red pill, it won’t be offered again.
Can they accept their family being attacked? Can their kids? Trump did! A Decent Chap? The 35-year-old comment about “Pussy Grabbing” was taken out of context and is exactly the sort of locker room trash talking I have done in the past. It’s masculine bullshit many alphas are guilty of at some point or occasion. It’s wrong, we do and say dumb shit. Again- this was taken totally OUT of Context (but was true).
Trump was an outsider. He was revered by Democrats and Blacks and Republicans alike prior to running for President. We honestly care more about him trying to save this mess of a country leftists have created. We cannot afford to worry only about him not hurting the feelings of a woman who lied and accused him of rape.
TRUMP Did NOT KNOW HOW DEEP THE SWAMP WAS BUT SHOWED US ALL 🙁
The WEF/DEEP STATE/CABAL is intentionally DESTROYING this SOCIETY. Their GREAT RESET is the NEW WORLD ORDER. Be ready to lose everything and be happy! Or EXTERMINATE these LOW LIFE INSECTS without any Mercy! Destroying EVIL is not a Sin! It is SURVIVAL of Greater GOOD! They also fear Trump because he started a war on pedophiles which also explains why the left never asks about the epstein clients!! Wake up!
Story by Irina Ivanova The U.S. may be only a matter of weeks from defaulting on its debt, an unprecedented scenario that government officials have variously described as “unthinkable” and “catastrophic.” With Republicans and Democrats remaining at an impasse for now, economists are examining the potential economic fallout if the situation comes to a head and the U.S. fails to make some payments.
In the event of a full-fledged debt default: the impact would be felt by anyone expecting funds from the government, whether a Social Security check, SNAP payment or government bond payout. But the impact wouldn’t be felt equally across the nation, Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi said in a report this week.
“Most state economies will be hit hard if there is a debt limit breach, although the economic pain varies,” he and coauthors Adam Kamins and Bernard Yaros wrote. Washington, D.C., where 1 in 4 jobs are tied to the federal government, would be hardest hit, becoming the “poster child” for a financial disaster, they said.
BONUS:Looks like this is another fine mess you got us into – Search (bing.com) States with large federal facilities, such as national laboratories or military bases, would be next in line. That includes Hawaii, which is home to the United States Pacific Command and to 11 military bases; Alaska, with vast federal land holdings; and New Mexico, home to Los Alamos National Laboratory. “While the public sector typically serves as a stabilizing force, in the case of a breach it supercharges its economic fallout,” according to Moody’s. Also vulnerable are regions that rely heavily on federal spending, including those with defense contractors. “Professional services firms suffer, hurting white-collar support firms in and around the Beltway, particularly Northern Virginia,” Moody’s said. “Aerospace is also hurt, impacting states including Connecticut, Kansas and Washington.”
Even a short debt ceiling breach, in which the government defaults for less than a week before lawmakers raise the government’s borrowing limit, would likely push the economy into a recession, according to Moody’s. In this scenario, 1.5 million people would lose their jobs, pushing unemployment from its current rate of 3.4% to 5%, while the nation’s gross domestic product would shrink by 0.7%. Moody’s also assesses the potential damage from a default lasting several months, an outcome it calls “cataclysmic.” The federal government would have no option but to slash its spending by about $150 billion. “As these cuts work through the economy, the hit to growth would be overwhelming,” Moody’s said.
‘What difference at this point does it make?’ ~Hillary 13hours Secret Soldiers : Free Download, Internet Archive “The economic downturn that would ensue would be comparable to that suffered during the global financial crisis,” with nearly 8 million jobs lost and the unemployment rate rising to 8%, according to the financial research firm. In this scenario, several states would suffer disproportionately, with Moody’s estimating that unemployment would top 9% in Alabama, Illinois, Ohio and Mississippi, while shooting up to nearly 11% in Michigan.
The turmoil would likely depress stock prices by nearly 20%, vaporizing $10 trillion in household wealth held in 401(k) plans, pension funds and also brokerage accounts, according to Moody’s. The cost of borrowing for households and businesses would soar. Because of the enormous economic fallout of a debt default, it’s worth noting that Moody’s considers such an outcome highly unlikely. And if there is a breach, it’s likely to be short. “But even a lengthy standoff no longer has a zero probability,” the analysts said. “What once seemed unimaginable now seems a real threat.”

Three years later… Joe Biden announced earlier this year that he will end all Covid-19 health emergencies on May 11th. “An abrupt end to the emergency declarations would create wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the health care system — for states, for hospitals and doctors’ offices, and, most importantly, for tens of millions of Americans,” the OMB wrote in a Statement of Administration Policy.
Biden also signed a GOP-proposed bill officially ending the US’s Covid national emergency last month.
The House already passed the resolution 229-197. The law ends Title 42, a Trump-era policy that blocked illegal aliens seeking asylum from crossing over the US border. “The law immediately ends the national emergency & public health emergency first enacted during the Trump administration and continued through the Biden’s regime. Former President Donald Trump first declared a national emergency over the virus on March 13, 2020, retroactive to March 1 of that year. The declarations allowed for federal funding to be freed up to cities and states for things like testing and vaccination centers.” CBS News reported.
The COVID-19 public health emergency has ended as of today, Thursday. “May 11, 2023, marks the end of the federal COVID-19 PHE declaration. After this date, CDC’s authorizations to collect certain types of public health data will expire,” CDC said in a statement. COVID-19 will be treated as an endemic threat to public health, which will be handled using the agencies’ normal authorities, per AP.
The CDC will no longer collect data on Covid-19 in the community, and hospitals and testing facilities will no longer be required to report specific case details. The COVID-19 case, and death data will no longer be highlighted on COVID Data Tracker. The end to Covid emergency declarations also means people will have to pay out-of-pocket expenses for Covid tests, vaccines, and treatments.
USA Today reported: Once the public health emergency for COVID-19 ends, insurance providers will no longer be required to waive costs for COVID-19 tests, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Medicaid: Free tests are available until Sept. 30, 2024; state Medicaid programs will decide whether to continue coverage after that. Medicare: Enrollees will no longer receive free at-home tests, but lab tests are covered. Private insurers: They are no longer required to pay for eight home tests a month. Consumers should check with their insurer about access because coverage varies by state and insurance company. Uninsured: Testing may be available through pharmacies and community-based sites under a CDC program. According to CDC, vaccines, therapies, and tests will continue to be accessible.
Vaccines will remain available. Access to COVID-19 vaccines will generally not be affected for now. The U.S. government is currently distributing free COVID-19 vaccines for all adults and children. To help keep communities safe from COVID-19, HHS remains committed to maximizing continued access to COVID-19 vaccines. COVID-19 at-home tests may not be covered by insurance. Insurance providers will no longer be required to waive costs or provide free COVID-19 tests. CDC’s No Cost COVID-19 Testing Locator can help people find current community and pharmacy partners participating in the Increasing Community Access to Testing (ICATT) program. Treatments will remain available. Medication to prevent severe COVID-19, such as Paxlovid, will remain available for free while supplies last. After that, the price will be determined by the medication manufacturer and your health insurance coverage.
Check with your healthcare provider if you need early treatment to prevent severe COVID-19. The Biden administration is also planning to remove vaccine requirements for international air travelers and federal employees this week. The change will go into effect on Friday, May 12th at 12 a.m. ET. “Considering this progress and based on the latest guidance from our public health experts, we also no longer need a government-wide vaccination requirement for federal employees or federally specified safety protocols for federal contractors,” the White House said. “Vaccination remains an important tool to protect individuals from serious illness, but we are now able to move beyond these federal requirements.”

There are supposed to be 17 episodes in this sequel, however, I could only locate the first 16. It is a sequel because a year ago. I came across “Fall of the Cabal”, all ten episodes, and this has played an important part in my own awakening on what is truly going on in the world and has helped turned me into a proverbial pain in the neck, looked down on as crazy by several of my, who know better, peers, adverse to things like “conspiracy theories” and Q-Anon.
The criminals should be hanged just for the ‘testing’! Watch that episode, then watch the rest! You can find all the episodes Here! 0r StopWorldControl website has them all.
They don’t care about destroying society, only growth if their own wealth, power, influence. The #pope is in fact Satan and the church is their army of shameless unrepentant evil demons. Shame on every Catholic that funds that satanic organized crime syndicate. May they burn in hell for eternity as their master watches & laughs. #maga#trump@RealAmVoice@benbergquam
Just wondering, why do Americans need a passport now? Everyone from around the world just walks right in now! America is lost. Democrats will look at an issue, see what republicans say about it… and then take the opposite position just to be different.
Doesn’t matter what it is. Democrat supporters are complete morons. A mass disease infested migration to over-burden or possible destruction of Hospital services/ Welfare system! AIDS, STD’s, ZIKA, POLIO, TB, MALARIA, several POXES, EBOLA, several VIRUSES, etc.. SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is a weapon of mass destruction launched at the US/Orange Man from China with the help of Fauci and other deep state/globalist operatives. Millions died as a result but it failed to kill its intended targets.
Traitor Joe Biden is now trying to normalize the injurious mRNA-jab with the help of the Clinton Foundation. The Illegitimate Regime probably considers the media-state campaign has been a success thus far in silencing covid-jab casualties. [One who is injured, killed, captured, or missing in action through engagement with an enemy]. Joe Biden is waging a global genocide. through A panocide: The Clintons & Obama’s though Soros are going to perpetrate. Is this a Holocaust, or @DrNaomiRWolf may be able to answer more accurately based on her latest videocast
WITH..ALL THESE ILLEGALS HERE AMERICANS WILL GET SICKER Fake Dr. Walensky is not a Hypocrite at all. it seems, considering the mass-murder campaign against whosoever by jab, stopping pro tennis, in the U.S. Open, with Biden, and Fauci, and Mayorks, and Garland. Vaccine mandates are still destroying the lives of those who comply ( by killing them) and those that don’t by destroying their ability to work and go to school……… NUREMBERG CODE VIOLATION!
What it means is they are planning the NEW Pandemic. They don’t want you having that normal freedom to live as you choose back. They have to keep you in that panic mode. Sudden death happens and they will tell you the Virus has evolved while upgrading the same virus and re-release it as an evolved virus. You can see their wheels turning to start all over again. They change whatever they plan against you a little bit and do the same thing over and over. Same thing they do with Trump. Because we love and want Trump back, they do the same to us. It’s their Satanic punishment on the world because we fight back against their NWO.
Mayorkie (he is a Biden lap dog) was speaking saying mass migration is not exclusive to America, many countries are being invaded too. And I say, the only countries being invaded by illegal aliens are countries who Refuse to protect their citizens & borders.
The funny thing is, most of these illegals won’t vote for Democrats, they know who went down there to help scam the election to install a criminal socialist dictator who proceeded to destroy their economy. Nothing has changed for me regarding anything whatsoever. The initial fear tactics wore off long ago. No mask, no vaccine and I’m good to go. LOL To me it only means the liberal health Nazis have lost their grip momentarily. Have avoided all their restrictions fairly uniformly as my state was never a “blue Kool-Aid” drinking state.
We all know exactly what it means, millions more illegal aliens. I thought it was against the law for a business to hire an illegal alien and if that’s true, how are these millions of illegals going to survive & who pays for the luxury hotels, food, health care, education? Nothing but a sham used for election cheating and attempted communist government takeover. The intelligent people thankfully outsmart the brainless sheeple that fell for it.
So sick of the Joe Biden administration. When the hell are Republicans going to do something? Both parties are contributing to this invasion. Where the hell are RINOS in the Senate?
Where the hell are the Republican Governors And Republican AGS? The fastest way to get rid of the illegals is simply have President Trump say, “make them all citizens.” (Of course, he won’t do it) The leftists and RINOs will pass legislation so fast to deport them, that they will build a bullet train from El Paso to Mexico City running 24/7 until they are all gone. Dems used covid to shut down schools and our economy and now they want to end it so they can continue their invasion of America. Like the song asks; Democrats, what are they good for?
Absolutely Nothing. When was the last good idea a democrat had? Or when Al Gore ‘invented’ the internet? ON THE FEELING SIDE OF HUMANITY FUNGALITY IS RECOGNIZED WALKING TOWARDS CENOBITES AS THE FUTURE INHERITANCE OF OUR FORMER SELFS., Wow just in time for the for illegal horde rushing our border what another coincidence! Somewhere in the bowels of the White House there is a destruction of America time table and it is right on schedule.
BBC UNVACCINATED DOCUMENTARY – Covid-19 is on the rise again in the UK. After multiple lockdowns and more than 197,000 deaths, experts are warning we’re now entering a fifth wave of the pandemic. So why are around four million adults in the UK still yet to receive a single dose of the vaccine? In this timely, eye-opening investigation Professor Hannah Fry seeks to understand why so many remain unvaccinated against Covid-19.
To fully explore this complex and deeply divisive debate, Hannah brings seven unvaccinated participants together under one roof to unpack long-held opinions, beliefs and fears that have prevented them from getting the vaccine. Together, they meet leading experts, confront the latest science and statistics to emerge in the field, and dissect how misinformation spreads on social media. At the end of the experiment, each contributor is asked if what they have learned has changed their mind, and whether they will now take up the vaccine.
The programme also features the largest UK-wide survey on attitudes to the vaccine since its rollout, conducted by ICM. From a sample size of over 2,500 adults from across the UK, 1,894 were vaccinated and 664 were unvaccinated. The findings shed light on what the biggest barriers to vaccination are for those who remain unvaccinated, as well as attitudes towards Covid-19 information and also misinformation from across the whole sample. For example, it suggests that 27% of all adults are unlikely to want any more Covid vaccines.
With all of the news that’s coming out regarding risks from the C O V I D V A X, I thought I would bring back my greatest achievement: Being one of the first people to warn the public about the risks and harms from the V A X on mainstream media, before it all came out. Now that the truth has come out (and they have very quietly banned them for under 50’s), people aren’t calling me crazy anymore. I am getting so many apologies, people are now coming to me for advice – and the death threats have stopped.
I take pride in being brave enough to speak up about this on the BBC, knowing I could lose my job, family, and friends (which I did). I take pride in being the first and only person to mention the Pf-i-zer documents on the BBC. I’m proud of myself for calling out the 9 pages of adverse reactions which no one is allowed to talk about. I take pride in the numerous messages I receive daily, saying I was the reason people didn’t get injected, or didn’t inject their children – and thanking me for possibly saving their lives.
For changing their mindset, and for making them realise that the government lied to them. That the pharmaceutical industry does not have their best interests at heart. I knew that the documentary was a BBC setup, I knew that they would try to use it to brainwash the masses even more. But I also knew that it would fail massively if I took part in it, so I did. Everyone told me not to, that they’d edit everything I said to make me look stupid. But something told me it would be okay. And I think that was God speaking to me. The constant manipulation and silencing I experienced in that house had a massive effect on me, and I struggled to get through it – but it was something I knew I had to do, and I was able to turn my sadness into strength. A massive shout out to Vicky, who was in there with me and kept me strong. She is the only reason I was able to get through that week without losing my mind completely. You will never understand this, but it was the most difficult thing I’ve ever been through, I will talk more about what they did to me in a separate video. Thank you for all your support
The surgeon who operated on an Italian girl, Camilla Canepa, who died at the age of 18 from the effects of the vaccine, said he has never seen anything like this. “It’s not normal,” he added.
Camilla Canepa was operated on by Gianluigi Zona, director of the neurosurgical and neuro-traumatological clinic of the San Martino hospital: “I had never seen a brain that was affected by such an extensive and severe thrombosis.” The neurosurgeon on duty in San Martino that night was Alessandro d’Andrea, who also called the chief physician to his side at the operating table. “We decided to have a decompression craniotomy, in which the skull is opened to relieve internal pressure.” Zona recounted the experience: “All venous sinuses were blocked with thrombi, a scenario I have never seen in my many years in this profession. Think of the venous sinus as the river in the middle of a valley where several streams converge. If a dam is built in the middle of the watercourse, the river swells and the tributaries can no longer drain at this point, so that the pressure rises upstream.
“I’m neither a virologist, nor an epidemiologist, nor a coroner, but given the image I saw in the girl’s head; it is clear that we are dealing with something that is not normal.” The parents of the 18-year-old who died, told the media: “She had no disease.” Last week, the prosecutor of Genoa, which coordinates the ongoing investigations, will instruct the Pavia coroner to perform the autopsy on the body of Camilla Canepa, the eighteen year old who died after the vaccine. The girl allegedly suffered from chronic platelet deficiency, a “familial autoimmune thrombocytopenia”.
This is what investigators have learned from the first reports of the doctors. But the girl’s family, assisted by the lawyer Angelo Paone, is firm on this point. “Camilla had no disease,” explained their lawyer. Supporting their claim, are two different CT scans. She had undergone the two scans and was discharged after the first one that had not shown the situation of the thrombosis in progress, but immediately transferred to the hospital after the second showing that her health had been compromised. The girl arrived in the emergency room in the Lavagna hospital on June 3, just a week after the AstraZeneca shot. She had complained of severe headaches. Canepa, who was from the town of Sestri Levante in Liguria, was given the jab during a vaccination “open day” for youths over 18. The AstraZeneca jab has been approved for all over-18s, but in Italy it is only recommended for over-60s due to links to several cases of blood clots in younger people. Camilla’s case has raised concerns among young people previously keen to get vaccinated to obtain the Green Pass or vaccine passport enabling them to travel and attend mass events.
What a tragedy but just one of millions around the world. There is a special place reserved for the monsters behind this genocide. Camilla had an “autoimmune disorder” which might have made her ineligible for the vaccine.
The article states she was only 18. May she rest in peace. I have never understood why they forced an age group that had a 99.9 percent survival rate to get inoculated with an experimental .
So many unnecessary deaths. I protected my family from getting the \/, and also could have lost my job over it. How could they give gene therapy to billions of people? I just can’t wrap my head around all of this. Beautiful, young, vibrant lives lost. Anonymous
Known professionally as Nightbirde,[1] was an American singer-songwriter.
Host and judges pay tribute to ‘America’s Got Talent’ contestant who lost battle to cancer. Jane Marczewski, a singer known by her stage name Nightbirde, who earned a legion of followers after being a contestant on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” has died after a battle with cancer, her family confirmed. “We, her family, are devastated by her passing and unimaginable loss,” the Marczewski family said in a statement, provided by NBC. Marczewski fought cancer for four years and died Feb. 19, her family said.
The singer caught the attention of many after delivering a stunning audition last year on “America’s Got Talent,” performing an original song called “It’s OK.” During her performance, she disclosed to the judges that she was battling cancer that had spread to her lungs, spine and liver. She impressed judge Simon Cowell with her positivity and resolve. “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy,” she told the judges. Cowell awarded Marczewski a coveted “golden buzzer,” which advanced her to the next round of competition. She ultimately had to drop out, but during a virtual interview aired on the show, Marczewski said it was “beautiful to see the world welcome that song into their own dark night.”
“I’m overwhelmed by it,” she said, of the reaction to “It’s OK.” “Your voice, your story, and your message touched millions. Nightbirde will always be a member of the ‘AGT’ family. Host Terry Crews and judges Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell also paid tribute on their own social media accounts. “Heart breaking news to hear about @_nightbirde, she was an extraordinary person, so brave, so talented,” Cowell wrote on Twitter. “She made a huge impact on AGT and the world. Her determination to fight this terrible illness was remarkable. Rest in peace, Jane. I am sending my love to her family.” Her family added in their statement that those who knew Marczewski “enjoyed her larger-than-life personality and sense of humor.”
“She had a witty joke for every occasion – even if the joke was on her,” her family added. “Her lasting legacy will be the gift of hope she gave to so many through her music and the strength she found in Jesus. We thank everyone for their messages of love and support.” Previously having released two EPs and several singles, Nightbirde auditioned on America’s Got Talent in 2021, where she received a Golden Buzzer for her original song “It’s OK”.[2] However, she decided to withdraw from AGT before the quarterfinals, because of worsening health due to cancer.[3] Marczewski died on February 19, 2022, after keeping the battle with cancer a secret. She was 31 years old.[4][5]
Music career Marczewski uploaded her first songs, and gave her first live performance in 2011, while a student at Liberty University.[17] She released a three-song EP in 2012, called Lines, on which she sang and played acoustic guitar.[10][16] In 2013, she released Ocean & Sky, a six-song EP that she funded on Kickstarter.[14] Remaining in Lynchburg after graduating, Marczewski was a popular performer locally.[17] She returned to Ohio in 2014, and following her marriage, moved in 2015 to Nashville, Tennessee (where she later resumed performing under her married name, Jane Claudio, with her husband acting as her producer).[18]
Credited as Jane Marczewski-Claudio, she contributed music for the 2015 documentary film, Leonard Knight: A Man & His Mountain.[19] Nightbirde adopted her professional stage name based on a recurring dream, in which birds sang outside her window at night in anticipation of the morning.[20] She explained: “It felt so poetic that these birds were singing as if it were morning, and yet there was no sign of it yet, and that’s what I want to embody.”[21] When asked the meaning behind her name by a fan on Instagram, Nightbirde responded: Woke up in the night three times, dreaming of birds singing in the dark. The third time, I went to the window and they were there singing morning songs at 3am. I wanted to be one of them singing as if it was morning, though I couldn’t see it yet.[22]
Nightbirde peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard“Emerging Artists” chart in June 2021.[26] Her song “New Year’s Eve (The Remix)” peaked at No. 14 on iTunes in December 2021.[27] It also charted in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.[28][29][30] In March 2022, Nightbirde’s song “It’s OK” appeared during an episode of Good Trouble.[31] Her 2021 song “Brave” was officially released posthumously as a single in April 2022.[32] Her 2019 song “Fly” was officially released as a single by her family on July 4, 2022.[33]
America’s Got Talent
In June 2021, Nightbirde performed during the 16th season auditions on America’s Got Talent. During her appearance, she offered two inspirational statements: 1. It’s important that everyone knows I’m so much more than the bad things that happen to me… 2. You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.[34][35]
Nightbirde subsequently received a Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell for her performance of her original song “It’s OK”.[8][35][36]
The song became No. 1 on iTunes[36][37] and No. 2 trending on YouTube.[15] In August 2021, before she could compete in the show’s quarterfinal round, Nightbirde withdrew from the competition because of worsening health.[15][38][39] Cowell encouraged her not to return to the competition, saying “You don’t need the stress right now.”[40][41] She appeared via remote broadcast during the live quarterfinals of AGT to express gratitude, and gave an update about her health on August 11, 2021.[42][43] In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Cowell said Nightbirde could have gone all the way and been crowned champion, if it had been possible.[44] In July 2022, Cowell ranked his favorite Top 15 Golden Buzzer moments in AGT history during season 17, and Nightbirde placed first.[45]
Personal life Marczewski was married to musician Jeremy Claudio.[18] The couple separated and divorced in 2020, after which she moved from Nashville to Huntington Beach, California (where she was baptized).[7][46] Nightbirde sold merchandise on social media, and raised money for medical expenses via GoFundMe.[47][48] She also wrote poetry and painted prior to her death.[49] Frequently posting, the singer’s final message and selfie to social media was on January 11, 2022.[50]
Health and death Marczewski was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017,[7][17][18] and declared cancer-free in July 2018.[24] Her cancer recurred in 2019,[21] and she was given three to six months to live,[7] but she was again declared cancer-free in 2020.[25][9] Prior to her America’s Got Talent audition, Marczewski was told that the cancer had metastasized to her lungs, spine and liver.[51][1] With only a 2% chance of survival,[35] she gave health updates on CNN and social media.[52][53][54] According to Nightbirde: “I have a two percent chance of survival, but two percent is not zero percent. Two percent is something, and I wish people knew how amazing it is.”[55]
Legacy and honors The Marczewski family created the Nightbirde Foundation (nightbirdefoundation.org), a 501c3 nonprofit that helps encourage and support young women with breast cancer.[62] America’s Got Talent: Extreme also honored Nightbirde at the end of the “Auditions 2” episode on February 28, 2022. A title card with a photo of her read: “In Memory of Jane ‘Nightbirde’ Marczewski”.[63] Inspired by Nightbirde, the Lebanese dance group Mayyas (who received a Golden Buzzer from Sofía Vergara) honored her during the audition episode of AGT’s season 17 on June 21, 2022.[64] Nightbirde’s song “It’s OK” also played in the background, during the beginning and ending of their performance.[65]
An emotional tribute to Nightbirde was highlighted during an America’s Got Talent special on July 5, 2022. Judge Simon Cowell and host Terry Crews featured their favorite Golden Buzzer winners, with Nightbirde being ranked the best moment (No. 1), on the retrospective episode.[66] “There was something really special about Jane. I adored her,” declared “America’s Got Talent” judge Simon Cowell during the July 5 episode that looked back at the Top 15 “AGT” Golden Buzzers of all time. He was referring to Jane Marczewski, known professionally as Nightbirde, who earned the #1 spot on his list. Nightbirde received the coveted honor during the 2021 season thanks to her original song “It’s Okay” about living with cancer. The singer-songwriter later withdrew from the competition due to health complications and passed away six months later at age 31.
On the year-old video, Nightbirde remained hopeful about her condition, telling the “AGT” judges, “It’s important that everyone knows I’m so much more than the bad things that happened to me.” Simon continued on, “What was so special about Jane in my opinion was she was always optimistic. But she recently passed away, which makes this tough. All she ever kept talking about was her music.” After watching Nightbirde finish her performance of “It’s Okay” up on the big screen, Terry and Simon both had trouble speaking. “I don’t know what to say,” Terry stated. Simon instructed someone off-camera, “Give me two seconds.”
SEE ‘America’s Got Talent’: Is Sofia Vergara really a ventriloquist? One of Nightbirde’s most influential quotes was included in the video package: “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.” That’s the moment where Simon decided to push the Golden Buzzer. Watching the scene play out, an emotional Terry noted, “The amazing strength she showed in the midst of incredible adversity, it was a lesson for all of us … I feel like I’m watching an angel.”
“The last time I saw her, she did say what that moment meant to her,” Simon recalled. “All these years she’d been trying to get recognition as a songwriter, as a singer, and in an instant everything changed for her. I promise you, so many people come up to me and talk about what she did, giving people hope and perspective with the lyrics of that song. She typifies what the Golden Buzzer is all about. Watching it back, it makes you feel hopeful. Her Golden Buzzer will live on forever. No one else in my opinion could be number one.”
NBC’s reality TV show ended with this note about Nightbirde’s lasting impact on the world: “Jane’s family has started The Nightbirde Foundation in her memory to help other young women with cancer. NightbirdeFoundation.org
I plan my schedule, so I have some type of outdoor time every day. Samantha Shea had never been outside the US before she started college in 2014. After graduating in 2019, she visited India and Pakistan while developing her travel writing. She moved to Hunza Valley in Northern Pakistan in 2021.
Where she’s lived ever since.
When I tell people from back home that I live in Northern Pakistan, I’m usually met with shock. On moving to Pakistan, Samantha Shea writes: “I avoid the American hustle culture, which I find toxic. The people I meet in Hunza are generally quiet, polite, and respectful. I breathe clean air and eat organic, home-cooked food for every meal.” Samantha Shea had never been outside the US before she started college in 2014.
After graduating in 2019, she visited India and Pakistan while developing her travel writing. When I tell people from back home that I live in Northern Pakistan, I’m usually met with shock.
Their disbelief escalates when I show them pictures of the snow-capped Karakoram Mountain range that surround the village where I live. “I thought Pakistan was a desert” is the most common response. As wrong as they are, I don’t blame them. I didn’t know much about Pakistan before traveling there after college.
I live in Hunza Valley, 8,500 feet above sea level on the border with Western China, where I work as a digital nomad. When I first came to Pakistan in 2019, I was a recent University of Miami grad who’d never lived outside the US.
In Hunza, electricity comes on for only a few hours a day, you walk to the local market if you need anything – Amazon doesn’t deliver to the mountainous valley region – and running hot water isn’t guaranteed.
The valley has, despite these elements, become my home. Here, I don’t lock up my bike or my front door, I can walk everywhere, and my recent major home renovation cost me only $3,000.
Current guidance around traveling to Pakistan. The US travel advice for Pakistan is to avoid traveling to Balochistan province, many parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the Indian-Pakistan border because of the potential for terrorist attacks, kidnapping, and armed conflict at the border.
The US government warns that the assistance it can provide citizens traveling in Pakistan is limited because of these security issues. However, I have personally traveled to some of these areas and did not feel unsafe at the time.
Although this doesn’t mean these threats aren’t real and something to consider, many foreign nationals and local Pakistani people travel to the Hunza Valley without incident. Forbes recently named Pakistan an up-and-coming adventure vacation. CN Traveller also awarded Pakistan as their top holiday destination in 2020.
My journey to a remote village in Northern Pakistan.
My love of travel began at college. From 2014 to 2019, I was a student at the University of Miami in Florida. While I loved my school, being by the beach, and Florida’s eternal summer, I never felt settled in Miami.
Because I grew up in suburban Connecticut: the move to a busy city was a big adjustment. It was noisy and fast-paced, and the proximity to crime, common in urban areas, put me on edge. I had never traveled outside the US growing up, but I fell in love with backpacking at college. My trips became more and more offbeat. I was traveling through India the summer before my senior year in 2018 when I decided to pursue a career in travel.
I wanted to become a freelance travel blogger after graduation I worked three part-time jobs while finishing my degree to save up for my indefinite adventure. After graduating in 2019, I set off for India again, traveling around the country and into neighboring Pakistan.
Despite media negativity and concerns from family and friends, I didn’t feel nervous crossing the border from India. I traveled from the historical city of Lahore to the Hindu Kush mountains of Upper Chitral — a region that directly borders Afghanistan — and felt comfortable everywhere I went.
I found it easier and more fun to travel here than in India, a much more “mainstream” backpacking destination. I encountered fewer scammers traveling in Pakistan. I also found Pakistan had less trash on the streets, and the roads were in better condition.
I worked for DoorDash and learned Urdu while waiting out COVID-19 limitations In December 2019, I returned to my family home with the plan to move to Pakistan full time in the spring as a digital nomad.
My plans were halted by COVID-19. I spent the next year learning Urdu, the national language of Pakistan, and delivering for DoorDash. I also finally saw some freelance traction.
I got my first paid byline, increased my blog traffic, and freelanced in content writing and social-media management. I wanted to have established myself as a digital nomad before I left home.
In April 2021, I traveled alone to Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad. I hadn’t arranged a guide and had no plan beyond my first few nights at a hostel.
To many, my trip seemed insane, but I was committed.
Why Hunza Valley? My 2021 journey brought me to Hunza Valley for a reason. I’d heard it was well known as the safest destination for solo female travelers, largely due to its liberal culture toward women.
The Gatorade-blue rivers and snow-capped mountains make Hunza a popular tourist destination. The local community is known for its hospitality, and I immediately felt at home – something I’d never felt in big-city America.
The community is welcoming of outsiders — respecting and taking care of guests is a core value here. Before 9/11, there were droves of foreign travelers coming to Hunza, and many locals and their families worked in tourism, so I was welcomed readily.
Hunza is home to a majority Ismaili community, a liberal sect of Islam. Teens hang out in mixed groups, women own restaurants and shops, and it’s common for girls to receive higher education.
I settled in Hunza and have lived here for nearly two years.
Many Westerners I’ve spoken with have trepidations about Pakistan Hunza itself could not be safer. I don’t worry about locking my bike, or even my doors. I’ve never witnessed a crime of any kind, nor any of the terrorist incidents the US State Department warns travelers of.
Barely a day after I’d arrived, I found myself lost on a 5-mile trek I set out on alone. Wandering, I ran into a young male shepherd. He insisted on showing me the route back and carrying my bag.
I kept waiting for “that moment” for which all solo female travelers are on high alert — but it never came. The shepherd was polite and helped me safely find the trail.
I think I felt more comfortable in Hunza than I did in Miami for several reasons: The local cuisine shared many similarities with my Polish grandma’s recipes, I experienced daily peace, and being surrounded by 20,000-foot peaks made me feel like I was positively on another planet.
I didn’t have great WiFi for the first few months of living in Hunza, which was stressful at times. I’ve since found workarounds, but it’s not simple.
The biggest issue is that electricity comes on for only around 5 or 6 hours a day, primarily at night. I knew Northern Pakistan didn’t have great electricity from my 2019 trip to other mountain valleys. Regardless, I always travel with a power bank.
I remember times when the electricity wouldn’t come on as planned and I’d forgotten to charge my devices properly. I found it incredibly stressful, especially if I had a lot of work.
Once, while on a road trip through Upper Chitral, another mountainous region in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, my power bank fell in water and wouldn’t turn on.
I was in an area even more remote than Hunza and knew the power bank likely wasn’t sold anywhere in Pakistan. The bank amazingly came back to life, but I did end up breaking another one a year later.
When these things happen, it makes me miss conveniences like Amazon, but a company called Daraz does manage to deliver plenty of items to Hunza within two or three days.
Power banks and other electronics can also be sourced from other countries via Packr, an app I’ve used several times to receive items from the US.
Now I have a permanent home, I’ve arranged more long-term solutions. I bought a $35 UPS car battery at a local market, which keeps my WiFi router and basic lights working 24/7. I also have two 26,800-mAh Anker power banks as backups, the 2nd of which I purchased after that road-trip scare.
How I live and work in Hunza Valley One month of accommodation costs between $150 and $250 on average — a far cry from the $1,300 I paid in Miami to share an apartment with roommates.
My life in Hunza began in Gojal, the local name for the northern portion of the region. When I arrived, I stayed in hotels. Nowhere I stayed cost more than $15 a night, and if I got a long-stay rate, they averaged closer to $8 a night.
Hunza was slightly more expensive than I thought, especially before I found permanent accommodation. I was shocked by how expensive some hotels were. Budget options are available, but a large portion of Hunza’s tourism caters to the wealthy sector of the domestic market.
This experience has positively influenced my career as a freelancer.
I’ve had my stories published in major media outlets. I also run an Instagram account and a YouTube channel focusing on life here and helping travelers plan their trips.
I now live in Aliabad in central Hunza, the largest town in the district I met my now partner, Fareed, in a local coworking space a few months after I arrived in Hunza. He was born and raised in Hunza and now works in trekking tourism. We’re happily settled in Aliabad in central Hunza, close to my partner’s family, who have become a second family to me.
Aliabad has high-speed fiber-cable Wi-Fi, which makes uploading content or taking Zoom calls easy, and it’s where you’ll find amenities like ATMs, stores, small hospitals, and a few restaurants and shops.
The main roads are paved, but many residential areas have dirt roads. Everything from the doctor to my cellphone provider is within a 15-minute walking radius.
My partner and I moved into a house his parents owned. It had no electricity, flooring, or running water. We recently renovated two rooms and added a bathroom with running water and a Western toilet. It ended up costing about $3,000.
If we were renting, it would cost around 20,000 Pakistani rupees a month, or about $50. Renting might have been cheaper in the short term, but I love having a space all our own.
A meal at a restaurant is usually between $2 for local spots and $7 for Western fare, but cooking at home is much less expensive and often tastier. Wi-Fi costs around $8 for unlimited data each month, and I pay $4 for 10 gigabytes of data for my SIM card.
Hot water is also not a given in Hunza — but an $80 gas-powered water heater solved that, with refills totaling about $20 a month. The electricity that does come is only about $2 a month, and the cold running water, sourced from a glacier, is free.
Aliabad has a cold desert climate. The coldest month is January, with temperatures averaging 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Frequently frozen pipes and a lack of central heating mean winter can be difficult.
Having spent most of my life in Connecticut, I was used to cold, long winters, and I find Hunza’s to be shorter. Winter limits my daily activities, but it almost feels like a cozy hibernation period.
I spend lazy days working by my bukhari — a traditional fireplace. The benefits of living in Hunza Valley far outweigh any negatives. I save thousands each month compared with living in a US city, and my quality of life is infinitely better.
I avoid the American hustle culture, which I find toxic. The people I meet in Hunza are generally quiet, polite, and respectful. I breathe clean air and eat organic, home-cooked food for every meal.
Though my solo journey to Pakistan started as a trip, Hunza Valley is now my home. I’ve even obtained the equivalent of permanent residency. With the money I’ve saved, I hope to travel to other countries, with Hunza as my base. Hunza Valley – Bing images
And now, she’s advocating for others to be proactive about their health. The 44-year-old former E! News correspondent opened up about her experience fighting and beating cancer in a People interview published Wednesday. Her battle arrives as she and husband Keven Undergaro are preparing for the birth of their first child via surrogate. Early detection, she said, saved her. “I need people to know there are places they can go to catch things early,” the “Heal Squad” podcast host told the outlet.
“You can’t let fear get in the way. I had that moment where I thought I was a goner—but I’m okay because I caught this early enough.” Menounos has dealt with a series of health complications: Including a brain tumor half a decade ago, and a type 1 diabetes diagnosis. But she prevailed overall, having the brain tumor removed, and improving her glucose levels by taking insulin and following a specific diet, she told People. She felt she was doing really well by last October.
But a month later, she found herself back in the hospital with abdominal pain and diarrhea. After testing and a CT scan, doctors found nothing.
“They said, ‘Everything’s fine.’ But I kept having pains,” she told People. As her pain continued, she looked for answers and turned to a full-body MRI scan with a company called Prenuvo, which offers scans to the public for a fee. She said the scan found a 3.9 centimeter mass on her pancreas and a biopsy showed that the mass was a Stage 2 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, which was found to be cancerous. “I’m like ‘How in the freaking world can I have a brain tumor and pancreatic cancer?'” Menounos told People. “All I could think was that I had a baby coming.”
Menounos said she is ‘so lucky’ A pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor has the ability to spread and metastasis but is less common and typically comes with a better prognosis than the more commonly found pancreatic cancer which is rooted in a different kind of tumor called pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, James Farrell, gastrointestinal oncology specialist with Yale Cancer Center, told USA TODAY Wednesday. On February 16, Menounos had surgery to remove the mass, a portion of her pancreas, a large fibroid, her spleen and more than a dozen lymph nodes. Menounos does not need additional treatment, just a once yearly scan going forward for five years.
Menounos reiterated her gratitude on Instagram Wednesday. “Obviously, there’s so much to say about this and what I’ve gone through these last few months, and even year,” she wrote. “First, dealing with the diabetes diagnosis last summer, second (my other miracle) preparing for my soon to be newborn baby and third, pancreas cancer. I still haven’t come to grips with it all, including the fact that so very few even survive pancreatic cancer.”
Pancreatic cancer has low survival rates. “The early detection of pancreatic tumors is a key to improving the overall survival for this disease,” Farrell said, noting Menounos was “very lucky” that her tumor was found. Pancreatic cancer makes up 3% of cancer diagnoses in the U.S. and 7% of cancer deaths, according to the American Cancer Society. Pancreatic cancer’s 5-year relative survival rate across all stages is estimated to be 12% based on a number of factors. An estimated 50,550 people will die this year from the disease which claimed the lives of Jerry Springer, Alex Trebek, Aretha Franklin, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and other public figures. Steve Jobs – Search (bing.com)
Part of that low rate comes from a lack of cost-effective screenings that can reliably detect cancer in people without notable symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose. “The majority of pancreatic tumors present at a stage that they cannot be removed surgically which offers the best chance of cure,” Farrell said. Because the pancreas is located deep in the abdomen, pancreatic tumors may develop and grow for a period before people become symptomatic. And most symptoms are not specific to the pancreas, Farrell said pointing to abdominal pain, back pain, jaundice, weight loss and depression adding that some patients present with pancreatitis or newly onset diabetes which could result in further investigation to rule out a pancreatic tumor. Most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Most people diagnosed with the cancer are not candidates for surgery because the cancer has metastasized – spread outside of the pancreas to other parts of the body.
What to know about Prunovo MRI scans Prenuvo, the company Menounos credited for finding the mass, offers body scans starting at $999. A full-body scan costs $2499. Booking is available through the company website with locations in New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago and a couple of other major cities, too, with additional facilities in more cities set to open within this year and next. “This is not a new concept of people walking in off the streets and getting scans. For a long time, executive health physicals would offer this, it’s not covered by insurance,” Farrell said. “In the past, CT scan was used, MRI is considered safer because of the lack of radiation.” While early detection is key to survival, Farrell said current clinical guidelines don’t include recommendations for CT scans or MRI scans for pancreatic tumors in patients who are low risk and asymptomatic. That said “we do (recommend) pancreatic imaging with CT scan or MRI imaging, and in certain individuals an invasive test called an endoscopic ultrasound for people who are considered at an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer,” Farrell said, pointing to factors like family history, genetic predispositions, pancreatic cysts and type 2 diabetes, which is newly accepted as a risk factor.
Walking into a private imaging center like Prenuvo could prompt another issue if you are asymptomatic, according to Farrell. In some instances, patients may find something at an early stage but “for the vast majority of people that is not the case.” Instead, the process could result in a lot of worry for asymptomatic patients and force the patient and doctor to undergo more workups without yielding anything significant. The American College of Radiation released a statement on total body MRI screenings in April noting that the organization “at this time, does not believe there is sufficient evidence to justify recommending total body screening for patients with no clinical symptoms, risk factors or a family history suggesting underlying disease or serious injury.” If you have symptoms, Farrell recommends seeing a healthcare professional. #Healthsquad – Maria Menounes – Search (bing.com)

I plan to share everything on my podcast and on as many platforms as I can. For now, I’ll say how grateful I am to be alive. well and that I WILL get to hold my baby! Thank you, God, St. Nectarios the healing saint, my doctors and nurses, and my family and friends who helped me through. Longer list of thank You’s to come but thank you @prenuvo for catching this early enough to save my life. Now I’m working to get these scans covered by insurance for everyone!! And thank you Lisa Paulsen and @eifoundation. The new issue of @People is on newsstands nationwide Friday to learn more. Link to story: Maria Menounos Reveals She Survived Pancreatic Cancer (people.com)
So glad you are doing well and recovering. As someone that also has neuroendocrine cancer, I just want to say please make sure you are dealing with a neuroendocrine specialist (Nets). They are the ones that have the knowledge about this type of cancer. I am surprised the article said no further treatment is needed, although I really hope that is true. Many ends up doing Sandostatin to keep any new tumors from forming. Also, highly recommend a 3 – 6-month scans including CT, MRI and Gallium scan (specifically for neuroendocrine cancer).
Wishing you the best.
@a.verlinden.83 she may be keeping some of it out of the media for now or may not yet have all the information she needs. I do recommend the FB group. Neuroendocrine Cancer – Ronny Allan’s Group (facebook.com) Lots of valuable information on the medical side of it. I look to others for the nutritional side.
@carlamarielementals I also highly recommend more frequent scans. Also know the type of neuroendocrine tumor. It sounds like she did have symptoms. Given the size of Maria’s tumor, the risk of spread can be greater, depending on type. Also, It is SO important to be under the care of a neuroendocrine specialist whether it be a surgeon or oncologist. I think her surgeon can guide her.
@meaghanbmurphy I am so sorry for your loss. I don’t know why God chose me to be his Miracle. 90 percent of my Pancreas was removed. My surgeon left only 10 percent of my Pancreas. The cancer had not spread to the 10 percent left. That 10 percent worked like I still had all of the pancreas. It was malignant. I did not become a diabetic for 23 years.
The doctors were baffled why I didn’t become a diabetic. The doctors told me I am a miracle. The tumor board voted that no chemo or radiation was needed. The tumor grew in a self-contained cell. I give God all the glory, honor and praise. Each day is a gift from God. I am so grateful, thankful and blessed. I lost the love of my life, my husband of 43 years, to stage four non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Cancer I wanted a miracle for him, but I know he’s healed in heaven.
Abundant blessings to you. mrs.jennifer.schmidt You are so brave. I’m so glad you survived this and are using your voice to help others. I have chronic hereditary pancreatitis, which is due to a genetic defect, and was completely unaware of how much the pancreas does for our body. It also amazes me that so many people are unaware of the signs of an unhealthy pancreas, as I was before my diagnosis. I would love to see more awareness, so people know the signs to look for regarding both pancreatic cancer but pancreatitis as well, which is a chronic disease that has no cure nor treatment other than fluid replacement during an attack.
@teri_w2022 sure. Start with your stool. Is it soft, yellowish or difficult to flush/stick to the toilet? Being overly bloated after a meal and or experiencing lots of gas that is foul smelling. Sudden nausea when eating fatty foods or even smelling them. Abdominal pain that occurs after eating. Losing weight without trying.
Sudden vitamin deficiencies such as vitamin A, E, D & K. If in doubt speak to your doctor.
@mrs.jennifer.schmidt Unfortunately @mariamnounos is bringing awareness to a cancer she does not have. She was not diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. She was diagnosed with Neuroendocrine cancer which happens to be in the pancreas. These are 2 very different diseases. Neuroendocrine cancer is on the rare cancer list. It definitely needs more awareness.
@teri_w2022 have you managed to see a doctor? How did you go?
But I don’t feel fine! But Thanks for asking mrs.jennifer.schmidt @teri_w2022 if you don’t feel fine seek a second opinion. Only you know your body and what’s normal and what isn’t. Demand an ultrasound of your gallbladder and pancreas Thank you @mariamenounos for bravely sharing your story!

Thank you for your question. Maria announced her diagnosis of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, also known as PNET, a rare type of #pancreaticcancer that differs from the more common diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
joanthrax@pancan can you please help the neuroendocrine cancer community by spreading the truth? It’s doing an amazing disservice to a community that so desperately needs funding and resources to combat this terrible disease. Please help us. She has neuroendocrine cancer in the lining of the pancreas. It is NOT pancan

5 lessons I learned about debt after my dad’s death that everyone should know.
My dad died in 2018, and he spent his last 13 days in the ICU — which came with a massive bill. Medical debt like this is one kind of unsecured debt, which goes away if it isn’t covered by the estate. Debt collectors are legally limited in how they are allowed to seek repayment after someone dies. When my father died of cancer in October 2018 — in a small California town named Loma Linda — we were sent a massive ICU bill in his name, exactly one week after he’d died. He was admitted to the ICU for 13 days after nearly two years with colon cancer.
My family was still figuring out the expensive logistics of getting his body repatriated to our home country of Malawi, and the bill felt unreal. It may as well have been Monopoly money, for how real the implied stacks of banknotes actually felt. My mother and I laughed bitterly as we sat together at the dinner table, in horrified awe at the absurdity of our essentially being billed for my father’s death.
The nearly 10 pages of hospital itemizations detailing the technicalities of the final 13 days of my father’s life forced me to realize the intimidating extent of knowledge I did not have about how to handle the financial affairs — especially regarding debt — of the recently deceased. I was even naive enough not to be aware that someone could still be medically billed after they died. That seemed nonsensical, but it is an absolute truth of the financial realities of death in America.
Thus information and research became twin weapons in the months following my father’s funeral. I knew that it would be easy for my family to be financially taken advantage of in that emotionally sensitive period, and I was determined to ensure that did not happen. As I was the only member of my family who was still a US resident, I spent several painstaking months making phone calls and mailing out copies of my father’s death certificate by myself, as I closed out his American financial affairs.
Related video: Should you be worrying about the US debt limit right now? In the nearly five years since Dad’s death, I have seen stories both frustrating and heartbreaking about the ways in which bereaved families have not only been financially lost after a loved one’s passing but have been taken advantage of by unscrupulous companies looking to maximize their earnings by razor-thin margins of ethics and legality. Here are what I consider to be the five most important things for people to know about what they most likely do, or do not, owe debtors upon a loved one’s passing.
1. Debt doesn’t go away, but that doesn’t necessarily mean someone has to pay it
Per the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a person’s debts are assumed by their estate — this is simply any money and property left behind after their death — and any outstanding debts should be paid off by what remains in the person’s estate. This is handled either by the executor of the estate, named in the deceased person’s will, or by a government-appointed administrator, if the person died without a will. There are very limited cases where someone else — such as a spouse or parent — may be required to pay off certain debts of the deceased. In community property states, for example — where spouses share joint ownership of certain debts undertaken during their marriage — a surviving spouse may be required to pay off certain debts. Confirm state-specific requirements to ensure only what is legally owed is paid.
2. Unsecured debts generally remain the property of the deceased
Unsecured loans include most credit card debt, student loans, personal loans, and medical bills. According to Experian, these should be handled by the estate if there is any money remaining to pay those off with. Even then, whether or not those debts are paid off is determined by the legal order in which estate disbursements are required to be handled. If, for example, a person died in a state where survivors are paid out first, there may be no money remaining in the estate to pay off unsecured debts. Ensure the executor or administrator of the estate confirms specific state requirements before paying.
3. Secured debts must be paid off by someone
The most common secured loans are mortgages and auto loans. If they aren’t paid by the estate or by someone else, the asset backing them — the house or the car — can be claimed by the lending institution. Houses and cars often have co-signers for loans, so it’s important to understand who will be responsible for that debt and what happens, especially if they plan to maintain use of them after their loved one’s death.
4. Federal student loans are discharged — private student loans usually aren’t
If you die with federal student loan debt, those loans will be discharged. Private lenders, however, may still require the loan be repaid — especially in the case of certain parent-student loans, or other types of co-signed student debt. The estate administrator should contact the lending institution directly to find out what is applicable.
5. The law restricts debt collection after death
The emotional vulnerability of survivors of the deceased can unfortunately make them ideal targets for aggressive debt collectors intent on seeing debts of the deceased repaid by any means necessary. The Federal Trade Commission gives detailed information on what debt collectors may and may not do in order to collect on a loved one’s death, especially to protect against manipulative and potentially deceptive practices targeted at loved ones willing to do whatever they’re made to believe is required to settle a debt.
Handling a loved one’s debts in the wake of their passing can feel daunting, and even retraumatizing. I discovered in the wake of my father’s death just how bureaucratically difficult it is to make the biological fact of a loved one’s death a legal one — especially regarding their debts.
My father’s ICU bill was eventually written off after several letters and phone calls between myself and the hospital billing office; the last letters I wrote to the hospital were to all of his various medical teams, thanking them for their own intensive care in the worst 13 days of my and my family’s lives. With that, the emotional process of moving forward could finally begin.

The amount of sand determines the amount of time that passes as the chamber is emptied. The image of the sand being emptied in the hourglass creates a visual metaphor for the limited duration of human life, and for the inevitability of change in the world as a whole.

SiriusXM radio host and former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly accused advocates of gun control of standing in the way of progress that could cut the number of gun deaths in America. “Serious q for gun control advocates: and you’ve failed to effect change,” Kelly wrote on Twitter Saturday.
“Pls face it. You can’t do it, thx to the 2A. We’re all well aware you don’t like that fact, but fact it is. What’s next? Must we just stay here sad, concerned, lamenting? Could we possibly talk about OTHER SOLUTIONS?”
In lieu of gun control, the former Fox News host suggested a myriad of other solutions that might decrease the prevalence of mass shootings, including mental health interventions — quipping that this would require something “real” and “not the BS we now do” — as well as “greater willingness to lock people up (w/protocols in place for civil libs) who are deemed to be threats [and] fortification of soft targets, coordination of media response to not lionize shooters.” “We need a mental health facility that is secure (guards/locked down) but still humane enough that a loving parent would send her kid there, for one,” Kelly continued. “Right now parents who know they’re raising the next school shooter have next to no recourse.” While little was known about the shooter in the Texas incident, Kelly suggested that “mental health interventions” and a “greater willingness to lock people up,” along with the “fortification of soft targets” were issues deserving of attention instead of limiting access to guns and a possible assault weapons ban. By suggesting mental illness is linked to mass shootings, Kelly was perpetuating a myth that’s been disproven in several scientific studies.
The FBI, which studied the individuals responsible for 160 active shooter incidents. Between 2000 and 2013, noted the “erroneous inclination to assume that anyone who commits an active shooting must be de facto mentally ill,” and found that “only 25% of the active shooters…were known to have been diagnosed by a mental health professional with a mental illness of any kind prior to the offense.” That figure is roughly the same for Americans at large, with about 1 in 4 adults suffering from a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year.
