The Boy Who Was Too Healthy

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 10/29/2025 10:35:44 AM

When Shelly Boyce walks through her home in Charlotte, the walls are lined with children’s laughter. There are four of them — barefoot, curious, full of life. Judah, the second, is eight years old. He likes dinosaurs and building things. He used to play outside more, before the chemo started. These days he gets tired easily. But he’s alive. And until recently, that was supposed to be the miracle. At Novant Health Hemby Children's Hospital, an affiliate of St. Jude’s, Judah was nearing the end of his treatment for cancer — five months away from the finish line. He’d done better than anyone expected. His bloodwork was strong.

Comments:

Threatening the parents with a CPS report because their child is doing better than expected is absolutely outrageous!! So much for "First, do no harm!!"

This breaks my heart. I have been a strong supporter of St. Jude's in the past. I may not be in the future.

Yes but St. Jude's does have cute heart tugging commercials playing endlessly on TV.

These hospitals are being run like a business. They are protecting themselves. Consider it this way, if that child were to suddenly die, what are the odds the parents would sue the hospital? The only criticism I have of this is it's not exactly a controlled environment. What worked best, what was harmful, and what had no effect at all. There were literally half a dozen things being done for this child.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the dolt who became Joe Biden’s White House Press Secretary through affirmative action (she’s black, gay, a woman, and learning disabled), has once again proven she’s every bit as stupid as everyone suspected. Even the far-left New Yorker — an outlet inclined to fully embrace and protect black, gay, learning-disabled female Democrats — couldn’t protect her from herself. You see, she’s selling a book about her time in the White House and her selling point is as nonsensical as those press briefings she used to deliver. It goes something like this… Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democrat Party and becoming an Independent

Gov.

We expect more than 600 students in the competition and look forward to awarding the newly-named Kirk prize to the winner,” DeSantis posted on X.

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), who serves as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said MAGA voters who cheer the Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats in the eastern Pacific would not like who a potential President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chooses to kill. Jansing said, “You’re the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee. Have you seen any evidence to support the administration’s allegation that these are narco-terrorists?” Himes said, “We have not seen lists of the individuals who were targeted. We have not heard what the protections are, what the checks are, to make sure that these are, in fact, drug boats

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending a policy that automatically extended work permits for millions of migrants in the United States. The policy change, announced by DHS officials on Wednesday, means that migrants seeking extensions of their work permits will now have to undergo “screening and vetting” before such an extension is granted. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow said former President Joe Biden’s administration prioritized migrants in the American labor market over national security — a move he wants to reverse. “USCIS is placing a renewed emphasis on robust alien screening and vetting,

A New Hampshire man has lost his right to vote after repeatedly vandalizing and stealing Trump campaign signs from his neighbor’s property, another glaring example of left-wing intolerance toward free speech and political expression. According to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, Nick Moorhead, 55, of Northfield, pleaded guilty in Franklin District Court to “unlawfully removing political signs.” Moorhead admitted to targeting a local resident’s Trump sign multiple times, an act that clearly wasn’t a one-off impulse but a pattern of politically motivated harassment, Boston 25 News. Court documents reveal that Moorhead was caught on camera on August 27 and 28, 2024, removing the Trump sign from the homeowner’s yard and damaging it.

As my colleague Becky Noble reported, there seems to be a lot of voter fraud being uncovered in red states. Verifiable proof has been uncovered in places like Texas and Arkansas that not only were illegal aliens and duplicate registrations found on voter rolls, but votes were cast in prior elections under those individuals' names. So much for Democrat claims that this never happens. As Noble wrote: As illegal immigrants from all over the world poured into the U.S. during the Biden administration, Republicans voiced concerns about non-citizens making it onto state voter rolls and casting illegal votes. Democrats insisted that it was a "rare" occurrence. Really?

You cannot make this up. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People endorsed a white candidate over a qualified black woman in Virginia.

The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, on Tuesday announced the 13th strike on a narco-terrorist vessel, this time in the Pacific Ocean. This marked the largest single operation against a drug-trafficking vessel to date, involving three separate strikes, four boats, and resulting in the deaths of 14 narco-terrorists. "Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations (DTO) trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific. The four vessels were known by our intelligence apparatus, transiting along known narco-trafficking routes, and carrying narcotics," he wrote on X.

Former U.S. president and censorship proponent Barack Obama’s fingerprints are all over an emerging story that reveals that the left’s quest for global censorship has moved forward unabated by the election of Donald Trump in 2024. According to investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger, the Stanford Cyber Policy Center, on Sept. 24, “hosted a secret dinner between its leaders and top censorship officials from Europe, UK, Brazil, California and Australia.” [Tweets] Shellenberger points to the continued pressure governments around the world are placing on the major tech platforms to conform to a “unified” set of censorship standards.

The fight over the shutdown is coming to a head this week as Democrats appear ready to cave after one of their biggest union backers, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), called for the Democrats to end the shutdown by supporting a Republican stopgap money bill, passed in the House last month, that would fund the government until at least the Thanksgiving holidays. Republicans are working on another stopgap funding bill to keep the government fully funded until Christmas. Also, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has informed the White House that they cannot tap a $5 billion contingency fund to pay for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

As of October 2025, President Trump has made good on an unprecedented number of campaign promises, everything from securing the border and demanding that Europe increase its defense spending to renegotiating fairer trade deals with U.S. partners, ending wars, eliminating woke and DEI programs, ending the so-called climate crisis hysteria, restoring pride in the military, reducing crime in major cities, conducting large-scale deportations, and treating drug cartels as both terrorist and invading forces. His list of accomplishments is so extensive that it almost feels ungrateful to ask for more.

Here in America, the Springsteen biopic opened to a truly dreadful $9.1 million. With billions more customers available overseas and Springsteen’s status as a global superstar, you’d think that’s where the money is.Nope. The movie only scooped up another $7 million internationally, which means that its overall global take was a measly $16 million. How bad is that?Well, box office analysts believed the worst it would do just here in America was $15 million, and it ended up only barely topping the domestic worst-case scenario all over the world. Is this a case of “Go woke, go broke?” Well, as I wrote on Sunday,

Suddenly, Bill Gates is admitting that climate change won’t lead to “humanity’s demise” after all. Now he tells us, after he long joined other climate alarmists in warning of “disaster,” as the West burned trillions on “decarbonizing” and steered economies toward the stone age. The “doomsday view” that “cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization” is “wrong,” the Microsoft co-founder writes; people will “be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.” His 2021 book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” somehow missed these truths; he predictied instead that global warming “could be worse” than COVID.

President Donald Trump’s firing of all members of an independent federal agency expected to review some of his construction projects, including his planned $300 million White House ballroom, has sparked an online backlash. Trump fired six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, a group of architectural experts that advises the federal government on historic preservation and public buildings, on Tuesday. The Washington Post first reported the firings. A White House official told the newspaper that new members who were more aligned with Trump’s "America First" policies would be named to the commission.

Protesters gathered at the site Monday morning after a man and his two middle school children were arrested that morning on their way to school. Protesters formed a human chain in front of the field office gates Monday night to block federal agents from removing the family from the facility.

One aspect of the government shutdown that probably wasn’t anticipated by Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, is that it has revealed to the public just how many people receive food stamps. Years ago, when the program was still called ‘food stamps’ it was seen as something that struggling families might use temporarily to get through a hard time. Then it was re-branded as the ‘SNAP’ program and destigmatized. People were encouraged to enroll. Now there are many more people using the program, many who probably don’t even really need it.

Ronald Reagan was known for a typically cogent observation about government: "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." As is so often the case, he was right. He likely didn't foresee the onset of electric vehicles and the climate scolds' touting of them to prevent the planet from catching on fire; those were subsidized before they ever moved in the first place. But those subsidies are gone now, and so a bunch of people who worked on vehicles and batteries are finding themselves out of work.
