DENVER, COL - Now that Colorado’s semiautomatic firearm ban has passed the senate all eyes are on the house, where the bill must pass in order to make its way to Gov. Jared Polis’s (D) desk.

Breitbart News noted that the ban passed in the Colorado Senate by a vote of 19-15 — and all 19 votes in favor of the measure were cast by Democrats.

The ban covers America’s most popular rifle, the AR-15, as well as numerous semiautomatic shotguns and pistols.

The bill says:

The bill defines a “specified semiautomatic firearm” as a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semiautomatic handgun with a detachable magazine. The bill prohibits knowingly manufacturing, distributing, transferring, selling, or purchasing a specified semiautomatic firearm; except that a person may transfer a specified semiautomatic firearm to an heir, an individual residing in another state, or a federally licensed firearm dealer.

The bill passed the Senate after a deal was struck to allow exemptions to the ban for would-be gun buyers who cooperate with special prepurchase conditions and requirements, including training and a vetting process similar to that required for a concealed carry permit. Click here to read more.

TIMMINS, Ontario - A doctor learned he was having a heart attack while treating a cardiac patient who was experiencing the same symptoms the doctor had displayed for months.

According to a press release from Timmins and District Hospital (TDH), Dr. Chris Loreto had been experiencing intense chest pains for over four months, which he chalked up to acid reflux. Specifically, the pain would reach its highest intensity during exercise and the acid reflux medication his doctor prescribed was not helping.

The pain came to a head on Nov. 12 while Loreto was playing hockey, but he "shrugged it off," according to TDH, the hospital Loreto worked for.

"He went to work the next morning," the release said. "Near the end of his shift, a patient had a massive heart attack which Dr. Loreto jumped in to help with. Afterwards, he spoke to the patient's wife to learn more about his symptoms leading up to this event. Both he and the patient were on the same medication for acid reflux."

 

BOSTON, MASS - Experts from Yale University have discovered an alarming syndrome linked to the mRNA Covid vaccines.

The previously-unknown condition - dubbed 'post-vaccination syndrome' - appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus and exercise intolerance.

Some sufferers also show distinct biological changes, including differences in immune cells and the presence of coronavirus proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot.

The condition also appears to reawaken a dormant virus in the body called Epstein-Barr which can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and nerve issues.

The full results of the small study have not yet been published, and the Yale experts emphasized the results 'are still a work in progress.'

Yet the findings, from a well-respected institution, suggest more research on post-vaccination syndrome is needed, independent experts said.

The next phase of the research will be to ascertain how widespread the condition is and who is most at risk. Click here to read more.

 

ATLANTA, GA _ A Georgia woman is suing a fertility clinic after she says she was implanted with a stranger’s embryo.

Krystena Murray, 38, gave birth to a healthy black baby boy in December 2023, following IVF treatments. However, Murray is white, as is the male donor, who has “dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.”

After the woman says she told Coastal Fertility Specialists (CFS) of their error, the clinic notified the baby’s biological parents, who sued Murray for custody of the child. Murray says she gave up the five-month-old baby instead of continuing to pursue a legal fight she was told she couldn’t win. Murray has not seen the baby since.

“To carry a baby, to fall in love with him, to deliver him, to build that uniquely special bond between a mother and a child, all to have him taken away,” Murray said at a press conference on Tuesday. “I’ll never be the same woman, I’ll never fully heal or completely move on and part of me will always long for my son.” Click here to read more.

In a significant policy shift, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that could withdraw federal funding from schools and universities mandating COVID-19 vaccinations. This move aligns with the administration's stance against vaccine mandates, emphasizing individual choice over institutional requirements. The order specifically targets COVID-19 vaccines, excluding other immunizations like those for measles and polio. Critics argue that this action may undermine public health efforts and compromise student safety.

Concurrently, the Trump administration is undergoing notable changes in its Cabinet composition. Notably, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent vaccine skeptic, has been nominated as Secretary of Health and Human Services. This appointment has raised concerns due to Kennedy's history of questioning vaccine safety, potentially influencing public health policies and vaccine programs. Despite controversies, the GOP-majority Senate is expected to confirm most of Trump's nominees. Click here to read more.

 

NEW YORK, NY - The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) sued the Trump administration Wednesday over the loss of tens of millions in federal funding for its services for illegal migrants.

The Catholic organization claims its loss of millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars is a violation of the Refugee Act of 1980, Fox News reported.

“For decades, the US government has chosen to admit refugees and outsourced its statutory responsibility to provide those refugees with resettlement assistance to non-profit organizations like USCCB,” the lawsuit alleges.

“But now, after refugees have arrived and been placed in USCCB’s care, the government is attempting to pull the rug out from under USCCB’s programs by halting funding,” the suit adds. Click here to read more.

 

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - About $4.7 trillion in payments from the Treasury Department were missing a code that allowed them to be tracked, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project.

DOGE, led by billionaire Elon Musk, announced its discovery on X.

“The Treasury [Account] Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process),” the post said. “In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going.”

Musk also touted the announcement, calling it a “[m]ajor improvement in Treasury payment integrity.” Click here to read more.

 

ATLANTA, GA - A Georgia woman says her journey to motherhood has left her “emotionally and physically broken,” and now she is suing the company responsible.

Even as a child, Krystena Murray, 38, of Savannah, always told people it was her dream to be a mom. Two years ago, she became pregnant after undergoing in vitro fertilization, a life-changing procedure for people trying to have a child.

She said her joy was taken away within seconds of delivery after discovering that the fertility clinic had made a fateful mistake. She is now suing Coastal Fertility Specialists for negligence.

Murray had turned to Coastal Fertility Specialists to help her get pregnant. She began treatment in early 2023 and became pregnant the second time an embryo was implanted in her uterus. She gave birth in December 2023, but within 15 seconds of the baby boy’s arrival, her life had changed forever.

“He was beautiful and literally the best thing I had ever seen. But it was also immediately apparent that he was African-American,” said Murray, who, along with her sperm donor, is white. Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - Michigan school districts including Lansing and Waverly in the capital region are pushing back against President Donald Trump’s executive order allowing immigration officers on school property.

Local district officials have changed or updated policies to affirm “welcoming school” resolutions and implement measures to protect any undocumented students and their families.

The Waverly Community Schools Board of Education on Monday passed a resolution “affirming commitment to a safe, inclusive and supportive school environment for all students regardless of immigration status,” according to The Lansing State Journal.

The resolution specifically states that all students, regardless of their immigration status, have the same rights to an education and privacy. In late January, the district’s superintendent posted on social media that ‘schools should be sanctuaries’ for undocumented students, FOX 47 News reported. Click here to read more.

PHOENIX, AZ - Millions of taxpayer dollars were spent on transgender surgeries and treatments on animals, House Oversight Committee Chairman Eli Crane (R-AZ) confirmed yet again this week.

According to reports, the committee revealed that $241 million in taxpayer dollars were used to study transgender surgeries and treatments on animals. What is perhaps more, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief Anthony Fauci gave the green light to the bulk of these cruel and unusual experiments.

“Insane, right?” Crane said of the report on Tuesday.

The confirmation is welcomed but the news is not new, as taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste Project (WCW) has continued to bring these realities to light. Testifying at an Oversight hearing earlier this month, Senior Vice President of Advocacy and Public Policy at White Coat Waste Project Justin Goodman testified that the $241 million spent on transgender animal testing is merely the “floor” of this so-called research.

WASHINGOTN D.C. - In a sweeping legal defeat of the former Biden administration, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that the administration’s student loan forgiveness efforts were unconstitutional. The ruling effectively declares illegal the vast majority of the $188.8 billion in loan forgiveness granted to 5.3 million borrowers.

This decision comes after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Biden v. Nebraska, which struck down an earlier $430 billion forgiveness plan. Despite this, the administration continued to push widespread debt cancellation through executive action, a move that legal experts and lawmakers argued was an overreach of executive authority.

The Mackinac Center for Public Policy and Cato Institute, in partnership with the New Civil Liberties Alliance as lead counsel, challenged this latest loan forgiveness attempt in multiple lawsuits. The Center also filed amicus briefs in support of other legal efforts to stop the administration’s actions. Click here to read more.

 

THOMPSON COVE BEACH, Turks and Caicos Islands - A woman reportedly lost her hands to a shark attack while she was trying to take a selfie with the large creature.

According to The New Zealand Herald, the woman was reportedly a 55-year-old Canadian tourist visiting the Thompson Cove Beach in the Caribbean.

The woman reportedly "attempted to engage" the 6-foot-long shark, at which point the animal attacked her and seriously injured her hands. The outlet reported that the woman needed to have one of her hands amputated below the wrist and her other arm was amputated halfway up her forearm.

Other beachgoers saved the woman from an even worse fate, with her husband scaring off the shark after the attack and strangers gathering around her and using their clothes to slow the bleeding. Click here to read more.

 

HELENA, Mont. — Legislators heard a bill on Friday that would make Montana the first state to ban the use of mRNA vaccines.

House bill 371, sponsored by State Rep. Greg Kmetz (R-Miles City) and introduced alongside a dozen other Republicans, would ban the use of mRNA vaccinations on humans, and provide for misdemeanors to be issued to violators.

According to Johns Hopkins, gene-based vaccines include those to protect against Covid-19, and vaccine manufacturers are developing mRNA vaccines to protect against other respiratory viruses.

Friday’s hearing on the bill in House Judiciary lasted well over two hours, with proponents arguing these vaccines have caused short term side-effects and could have long-term impacts that are unknown, and that they could shed to others.

“Gene-based vaccines, or mRNA vaccines, are the most destructive and lethal medical products that have ever been used in human history. I am asking you to support this bill banning gene-based vaccines so we can halt continued harm, disability, and death of our citizens,” said Christine Drivdahl-Smith, a family physician in Miles City and volunteer board member of Montana Medical Freedom Alliance.

The Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) has been promoting the use of anti-Israel teaching materials that includes phrases such as “Zionist bullies” in workbooks for students.

MTA president Max Page was called to a hearing on Feb. 10 by the Massachusetts Commission on Combating Antisemitism regarding the materials, during which he consistently defended them despite the committee pointing out the blatant anti-Israel bias contained in the documents. A Parents Defending Education (PDE) dispatch first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation provides the teaching materials promoted by MTA, which PDE called “antisemitic.”

Some of the materials provided to educators included Palestinian “activist” guides and a children’s book that says “a group of bullies called Zionists wanted our land so they stole it by force and hurt many people” and “children like me keep having their homes taken by Zionist bullies.” The documents also encourage children to protest and help “Free Palestine.”

During the hearing, committee members pointed to several social media posts by Page’s staff stating “Free Palestine” just days after Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Page defended his staff’s posts to committee members. The MTA president also refused to disclose who compiled the resources meant to teach students about the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel. Click here to read more.
