“God did it”: Austin Applebee, 13, swam for nearly four hours in the open ocean off the coast of Western Australia to get help for his mother and two younger siblings, who had been swept out to sea while kayaking and paddleboarding. Battling strong currents and freezing water, he swam far beyond what most trained adults could endure. He says that he prayed constantly until he reached the shore: "I don't think it was actually me swimming... It was God the whole time. I kept praying, I kept praying. I told God I would get baptised."

The federal government is deploying two helicopters to Surrey as police forces in BC’s second-largest city struggle to maintain control of the streets. Surrey’s Indian community has been under siege from a constant barrage of extortion threats, frequently accompanied by arsons and shootings targeted at both homes and businesses. What is now widely being referred to as Surrey’s “extortion crisis” is not the product of homegrown crime, but rather a direct result of Canada’s open-door immigration policy. The chaotic violence and disorder unfolding in that city is exactly what immigration restrictionists have been warning our political elite about for decades – the Canadian public is now suffering because of the determined refusal of successive governments to heed those warnings. Open-door immigration has long fuelled the rise of a diverse array of organized crime groups in Canada, from black street gangs to the money laundering Triads. The specific extortion wave now unfolding in …
Of course not because trump is deeply involved. 38,000 times mentioned and emails back and forth to epstein. This is why trump lied and still lies today about them. And why he gets so angry when the files are mentioned. This administration has to be the worse there ever was. They don't go by any laws. They make up their own.

His rhetoric places him among the most vocal pro-immigration bishops in Poland. "Marches Full of Hatred" - "Costume of Patriotism" In September 2016, he told Deon.pl: "Today Christ has the face of a refugee." And: "Christ is in those refugees who die in the Mediterranean." In autumn 2017, Monsignor Zadarko visited Lampedusa, Italy, and on 5 October he told Więź.pl that he had seen "hundreds of anonymous graves".

A lonely girl on a tiny island wrote stories to keep herself company — and one of them changed children's literature forever. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on this day in 1874, in a small village on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Her mother died before she turned two. Her father, stricken with grief, sent her to live with her elderly grandparents and eventually moved away to western Canada. She rarely saw him again. By all accounts, young Maud was deeply lonely. An only child raised by strict grandparents on an isolated farm, she had few friends and no siblings to play with. So she did what would one day make her immortal — she invented worlds. She created imaginary friends, gave names to the trees around her, and by age nine, she was writing poetry and filling journals with her observations of life on the island. The adults around her dismissed her dreams. In the late 1800s, the idea of a young woman becoming a published author was considered absurd by many. Montgomery didn't care. She …Kara
Medecine Today Laboratory and animal studies suggest that dandelion root extract may have potent anti-cancer properties. Researchers found that an aqueous extract of dandelion root triggered programmed cell death in over 95% of colon cancer cells within 48 hours, regardless of the cancer cells’ p53 status — a mutation often linked to treatment resistance. In animal models, oral administration of the extract reduced tumor growth by more than 90% without harming healthy tissues. The study showed that the extract activates multiple pathways of cell death, suggesting a multi-targeted mechanism that may contribute to its selective toxicity. This natural compound appears to stimulate both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent cell-death signals, two of the body’s main systems for eliminating damaged or cancerous cells. However, while these results are encouraging, it’s crucial to note that all data so far come from preclinical studies in cell cultures and animal models — not from human …Kara
