Speaker Mike Johnson: ‘President Trump is willing to take the arrows for doing the right thing’ 
“The president made the right choice, did the right thing. And by God’s grace, not a single American was harmed.” “This may end up proving to be the antidote to President Biden pulling the plug on U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, and then seeing the entire 20-year investment collapse within hours,” he said. Johnson agreed, adding that President Trump is willing to “take the arrows” for doing the right thing. “I think history will record that this was clearly the right and necessary thing to have been done,” he said.

HHS Overhauls Organ Donation System After Review Finds ‘Systemic Disregard for Sanctity of Life’
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched “a major initiative to begin reforming the organ transplant system,” it announced Monday. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explained, “Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying. … The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves.” The New York Times identified that victim as Anthony Thomas Hoover II, then 33 years old, who was hospitalized with a drug overdose in 2021. Hours after a doctor had declared him brain-dead, Hoover awakened to find medical staff preparing to remove his organs. “Even though the man cried, pulled his legs to his chest and shook his head, officials still tried to move forward.” Hospital staff ultimately became “uncomfortable with the amount of reflexes” Hoover showed, and a doctor ultimately refused to remove him from life-support. The man ultimately survived. “This seems to be a story more fitting for a horror movie than a congressional hearing, frankly,” said Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla).

What NHS staff said at a “hate incident” tribunal over “trans” changing rooms beggars belief
Junior doctor Teddy “Beth” Upton is a man who believes he has the right to use women’s changing rooms. After an exchange with a nurse while he was using a female changing room, he filed a complaint of a “hate incident” with NHS Fife. Following her suspension, the nurse brought a case against NHS Fife and Upton for unlawful treatment.  Comments from NHS staff who were called as witnesses are jaw-dropping – they don’t know how to identify who is a man and who is a woman, even though their job relies on them knowing the difference. Also, look out for a misogynistic remark from the man, Upton, who claims to be a woman.
