After nearly giving up on love, Dina Huxley’s life was falling into place. She found her soulmate, Iain, in 2018, through a dating app. They married a year later, and welcomed a baby boy in June. It was a storybook ending which crumbled just two weeks after the birth of their son. Iain, 46, was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, which had spread to his liver. Instead of enjoying her new life as a mom, she began searching for treatments to help Iain, who has been in and out of the hospital with infections that delayed his chemotherapy. “It’s like we hit a tree and ended up upside down,” she said.

Comments:

My younger brother passed away last October from pancreatic cancer. I have since been tested, as have other family members, for the abnormal gene that can cause cancer and am working with a genetic counselor. This article describes a lot of symptoms to look for, especially if you have cancer in your family.

OP, condolences on the loss of your brother. My step mother died of pancreatic cancer. And my brother has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. What an insidious disease.

So heartbreaking while the good suffer and criminals never seem to die from anything but gunshot wounds. A local friend found the love of her life. One day he went to the gym and died suddenly from a heart attack.

I'm so sorry to read this. One of my best friends died form this combination last January, less than fifty days after he learned he was ill, and he was a doc who held a named chair at the Vanderbilt Medical School. I had hoped we would have a chance to play again in our old age.

Why are so many people getting pancreatic cancer? What is the common denominator, or risk factor? In our small Sunday School group (20-25) we have lost one to this cancer and about six have had family members with it. What is going on?

Heartbreaking story. I remember someone getting pancreatic cancer back in the '80s and they said it was rare. Maybe it was often misdiagnosed? Now it's the #3 cancer and is often fatal.

You are in my prayers! Turn your problems over to God’s Perfect Lamb! Ask for faith in him and for His comfort! Jesus will never send you away! Find a good LCMS Pastor to speak with! God bless each of you! My health issues are so small in comparison!

Joe Biden was at a signing ceremony to commemorate the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act when he had a ‘senior moment’ that required an intervention by his vice president. [Video] Flanked by Kamala Harris and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Biden looked around as if needing direction on what to do next. That’s when Kamala Harris stepped up in what appeared to be a familiar role for the vice president. “What?” Biden said and whirled his head around. “And this girl right here,” Harris said and pointed. “I will,” Biden replied. “But I want to make sure I have got all the…”

Democrats are worried about winning the 2022 midterm elections after Republican state legislatures reformed 30 election integrity laws in 18 states and additional legislation may come. CEO of the Stacey Abrams-founded New Georgia Project, Nsé Ufot, told Politico, “If there isn’t a way for us to repeat what happened in November 2020, we’re f—ed.” Latosha Brown, cofounder of Black Voters Matter, told Politico that “hope is quickly turning into frustration.” She then asked, “When in the hell are those who claim that they are committed to democracy going to show up to protect those that protect democracy?”

Mayor Jimmy Matta of Burien, Washington has ridiculously claimed to be the victim of a “hate crime” because of lightning bolts on a yard sign. Matta made the claim on Friday over a yard sign advocating against progressive candidates, including him. The sign urged people not to vote for Matta, Hugo Garcia, Sarah Moore and Marxist candidate Krystal Marx — and read “SEATTLE POLITICS ARE BAD FOR BURIEN.” Stickers reading “CORRUPT” were also placed on the far-left candidates signs. Matta told local station KIRO 7 that the lightning bolts were “Nazi symbols” being used to attack his, and the other candidates, identities.

You gotta love the lib reporters meekly accepting the delicious iron discipline of black-clad Mistress Psaki as she demands “Why do you need to have that information?” when asked about the number of infectos in the petri dish that is the * White House.

Notice the Democrats have stopped claiming that Republicans are the party of old white people? Demographics are changing. Their efforts to stigmatize senior citizens for their age and claim that they aren’t relevant anymore is no longer working. The so-called party of diversity elected an old white man who many believe is losing it cognitively, including the former White House doctor for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Viewership of the traditional MSM evening news on CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS leans elderly. Meanwhile, there has been an explosion of conservative youth. Despite the left’s domination of education, the media, entertainment, business and the legal system,

Numbers, numbers. Which ones are correct? Don’t look to the legacy media for anything other than a surface pass at what is being uncovered by the Arizona audit. The Arizona senate hearing on 15 July gave us a taste of what to expect in the final audit report, but just about the only story endlessly repeated by the Democrat-media complex was this one which was magically produced by the Associated Press just one day later: Arizona county election officials have identified fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud out of more than 3 million ballots cast in last year’s presidential election,

They just can’t quit Trump. Unhinged liberal author Carl Bernstein on Sunday said “delusional” Trump is an “American war criminal.” Carl Bernstein made a name for himself during the Watergate investigation. Since that time his career has been on a steady decline. These days Bernstein is CNN’s in-house loser which makes him a perfect fit for Brian Stelter’s show “Reliable Sources.” “I think we need to calmly step back and maybe look at Trump in a different context. He is America’s, our own American war criminal,” Carl Bernstein said to Stelter.

Chase Kalisz got things rolling, claiming the first U.S. gold at the Olympic pool. By the time the morning was done, the powerhouse team had a whole bunch of medals. Six of them in all, quite a start Sunday for the Americans in the post-Michael Phelps era. “I’m happy to be here and kick the U.S. off,” said Kalisz, who won the 400-meter individual medley. There was room for others to shine, as well. Host Japan won a swimming gold, Tunisia claimed a surprising spot atop the medal podium, and the mighty Australian women set the first world record of the competition in the 4×100 freestyle relay.

A man showing off his new gun to patrons in a Florida bar ended up shooting himself with the weapon instead, according to reports. The unidentified knucklehead was inside O’Riley’s Uptown Tavern in Pensacola at 11 p.m. Thursday when he pulled out the gun to show it to a man and a woman at the bar, the Pensacola News Journal reported Friday. The man then made a quick motion to put the gun into an imaginary holster under his shoulder when the gun went off and a bullet struck his torso, the outlet reported. “I don’t know if he was pretending to be a badass or something,”

Nancy Pelosi’s on her last legs 49 replies
Posted by Imright 7/26/2021 1:48:42 AM Post Reply
Nancy Pelosi used to point her angry finger at Donald Trump, but she leaves him for dust when it comes to busting norms, dividing Congress and causing mayhem. If anyone is to blame for the hyper-partisanship in Washington these days, it’s the spiteful House speaker. She behaves more like a Mafia don waging a gang war than a dignified, fair and honest presiding officer, which is what the speaker’s role requires. Pelosi abuses her power in ways that once were unthinkable. Her speakership has been the antithesis of Lincoln’s entreaty to “the better angels of our nature.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to the Biden administration, has defended the National Institute of Health's decision to give $600,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2014 for research into whether bat coronaviruses could be transmitted to humans.In Sunday's episode of CNN's 'State of the Union,' Fauci, the director of the NIH's Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told host Jake Tapper that it would be 'negligent' not to fund the research - though some have argued it could have led to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2019.

For that reason, those Americans who love their country the most have cared the least when Americans have fallen flat in Tokyo.

Fauci, who serves as President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, added, “If we don’t vaccinate people, the model is going to predict that we’re going to be in trouble as we continue to get more and more cases.”
