Attempted Assassination of Former President Trump & Mental Health

 

News broke July 13 that an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was thwarted by law enforcement. The incident raised several questions about  the potential consequences of extreme polarization and the role of mental illness in the assassination attempt. 

The attempted assassination took place on July 13 at a political rally in Pennsylvania. According to law enforcement officials, one attendee was killed, two people were seriously injured, President Trump was shot in the ear, and the gunman was shot and killed. 

While the suspect's motives remain under investigation, the incident has sparked a nationwide conversation about the role of mental health in acts of violence and in our society. 

The attempted assassination of former President Trump is a sobering reminder of the potential consequences of mental health issues. It serves a reminder that is our responsibility to work towards a more open and respectful political environment, promoting civil discourse and understanding mental illness in the face of our differences. We also must stop mainstreaming people with mental disorders and stop telling the mentally ill that their delusions are right and normal. 

We live in an age when the mentally ill are encouraged to scream and cry on TikTok for likes and affirmation: where men are told they can dress as women, pretend to have periods and insist on being called women; and where confused children are being encouraged to try to live as the opposite sex. We have normalized things that until recently were known mental disorders, including violence. Just look at the riots that burned cities that were labeled “mostly peaceful” by the media. We honor criminals with a history of drug abuse and violence with statues and murals. 

Where do we draw the line?

Ninth Circuit Court Reveals Truth About COVID Shots

~ The Ninth Circuit Court Reveals the TRUTH about COVID Shots  ~

According to America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLD), the  Ninth Circuit Court EXPOSED THE TRUTH in an important decision that will have profound legal ramifications for COVID-19 shots and beyond. AFLD sent out a statement about the groundbreaking decision  

Ninth Circuit Court Reveals Truth About COVID Vaccinations 

“The Ninth Circuit ruled that because the COVID shots do not stop the spread of disease, they cannot be classified as vaccines. 

 

“This means it was completely illegal for the US Government and its various tyrannical health agencies to force anyone to take these shots.”

America’s Frontline Doctors sued Kaiser on behalf of 4,000 employees based on this argument. These experimental therapeutics  did not stop transmission - they were not vaccines as the word had been historically defined, and therefore our government had no legal standing to mandate them. They were the first to present this legal theory, and this pivotal ruling is a direct result.

Ultimately, this decision challenges Big Pharma's unlimited liability protection and may hold them responsible for producing dangerous COVID-19 treatments. —AFLD 

The compromised mainstream media has done its best to depict AFLD as right-wing conspiracy theorists. Therefore, it might come as a surprise to discover they have been proven right in their medical assessments time and time again.

The Tanning Pills Trend Has Taken Over TikTok But what’s in them & are they safe?

 July is Ultraviolet Awareness Month

For some reason, tanning is still in vogue. It isn’t healthy, it isn’t safe, and many people no longer think it looks attractive Be that as it may, people still make pilgrimages to the beach, lake, or their own back yard in search of the sun to bask in its rays and get a golden tan. To assist in that endeavor, there are tanning sprays, foams, lotions and now tanning pills.

According to Mary McGeever, tanning pills are the rage all over social sites like TikTok. These pills allegedly work because they contain canthaxanthin, a synthetic color additive similar to beta-carotene, the substance that gives carrots their orange color.  

Once swallowed, the additives in the pills are then deposited throughout the body, especially the skin, giving it a sun-kissed hue.These pills are often marketed as a way to enhance a tan but not without some concern say dermatologists.

“One potential hazard is that the ingredients in these pills offer no protection from the sun’s damaging rays,” says Dr. Alexis Young, dermatologist with Hackensack University Medical Center. “The ingredients can actually make your skin even more sensitive to sunlight, making you more susceptible to sunburn and potential skin cancers.” 

See Why Should You Wear Sunscreen? Everything You Wanted to Know about Sun Protection

Dr. Young also warns of other potential health concerns including a build up of  canthaxanthin in the liver which may result in damage to the organ as well as an accumulation in the retina, potentially causing vision problems. 

“Of all the tanning options available, I do not recommend tanning pills,” says Dr. Young. “I suggest choosing a tanning lotion with DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which is a safe and effective ingredient that reacts with the skin's amino acids to produce a brown pigment.”

This July, UV Awareness Month, Dr. Young reminds everyone that the sun emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can damage your skin and lead to sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. To protect yourself, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, even on cloudy days. Apply sunscreen liberally and evenly to all exposed skin 15 minutes before going outside, and reapply every two hours, or more often if you are sweating or swimming.
