In the beginning, ‘strict conditions’ – after that, ‘anything goes.’

Around the world, new initiatives are popping up to establish initiatives regarding euthanasia and assisted suicide, despite the real tragedy that those policies are imposing on the societies that have adopted them.

Now, the culture of death is making a landing in France.

French lawmakers voted today (15) to approve a bill creating a ‘legal right to assisted dying for adults with incurable ​illnesses.’

This is the culmination of what the press calls ‘an intense ethical and political debate.’

As it happens in the infancy of such laws, the legislation imposes ‘strict conditions’ to allow a person to receive a lethal substance.

After those laws catch on, it’s like the Great White North, as you can read in CANADA OUT OF CONTROL: Woman With Back Pain Goes to the Hospital, Is Horrified as Doctor Offers Her Assisted Suicide.

In France’s case, the substance could be self-administered (assisted suicide) or, if the person is physically unable to do so, administered by a doctor or nurse (euthanasia).

France is set to move closer to joining the ranks of countries that guarantee the right to assisted dying, after the long journey to adoption of a controversial bill championed by President Emmanuel Macron

Reuters reported:

“Access to assisted dying would be restricted to adults who are French citizens or legal residents in France, ​and who suffer from a serious and incurable illness that is life-threatening and in an advanced or terminal ​phase, experience constant physical or psychological suffering linked to that condition, and are able to express ⁠a free and informed choice.”

There you have it: restrictions, safeguards… we’ve seen this movie.

Soon, new legislation gets tacked to it, and before you know it, you have children who are mildly depressed, taking the easy way out, cheered by the ‘doctors.’

The debate has divided French society, with all the MSM and celebrities pushing hard for this.

“Opponents, including sections of the medical profession and religious groups, argue ​that legalizing assisted dying could put pressure on vulnerable people. The Catholic Church is among those that have opposed the legislation, with ‌one bishop ⁠threatening to deny communion to lawmakers who support it.

‘A society grounded in fraternity supports, protects, and cares for people. It never gives up on the most fragile among us’, former interior minister, Bruno Retailleau, a conservative presidential candidate, said on X.”

Catholic members of France’s National Assembly who vote for the country’s euthanasia and assisted-suicide bill this Wednesday will no longer be able to receive Communion, says Bishop Marc Aillet of Bayonne, Lescar, and Oloron in southern France.https://t.co/y57xg44lcQ

Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche on Wednesday morning faced Senate Judiciary Committee members in a confirmation hearing.

President Trump last month announced that he nominated Todd Blanche to serve as Attorney General.

Blanche, a former federal prosecutor in New York, was chosen to serve as the Acting Attorney General after President Trump fired Pam Bondi in April.

Prior to serving as Acting Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, Blanche served as President Trump’s personal attorney in New York.

President Trump praised Todd Blanche on Tuesday evening ahead of the hearing and called on the senate to confirm him as the next US Attorney General.

“Todd Blanche is doing a PHENOMENAL job as Acting Attorney General of the United States. Under Todd’s incredible leadership at DOJ, Murder is down to the LOWEST level since 1900, and we just saw the biggest one year drop in RECORDED HISTORY,” Trump said on Tuesday evening.

“Violent Crime arrests are UP 100%. Robberies, Carjackings, and Assaults, are all CRASHING. More than 500 million deadly doses of Drugs have already been seized, saving countless innocent lives. This is what happens when you unleash LAW AND ORDER on our streets, instead of protecting vicious Criminal Thugs, and releasing dangerous Illegal Aliens into our Communities like the Dumocrats did for four disastrous years under Sleepy Joe Biden,” the president said.

“Todd has fought hard for Religious Liberty, ended the Weaponization of our Justice System, protected FREE SPEECH, kept Men OUT of Women’s Sports, strengthened Election Integrity, and gone to all-out-WAR against Fraud like nobody in the History of the Department of Justice. He is tough, brilliant, and 100% LOYAL to our Constitution, and the American People,” Trump said.

As expected, Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse immediately attacked Blanche and other officials appointed by President Trump.

Sheldon attacked FBI Director Kash Patel and tried to bait Blanche.

Blanche also called out Senator White House for “cherry picking” comments from judges.

“I appreciate the handpicked words that you have behind you right now,” Blanche said.

“But that’s not reflective of the 100,000 indictments and informations that have been filed to do the work,” Blanche said.

“While cherry picking a few isolated words from district court or magistrate judges in certain districts is something that you’re entitled to do, it’s absolutely false to suggest that this Department of Justice is not executing as we should, and doing the right thing every single day,” Blanche said.

A former U.S. Marine who is now running as a write-in candidate for Congress in Florida is facing widespread condemnation after posting a lengthy video in which he declared that President Donald Trump “must be killed” while describing the commander-in-chief as the “anti-Christ.”

The disturbing remarks prompted an unusually swift public response from the U.S. Marine Corps, which made clear that William Upham’s rhetoric does not reflect the values of the Corps or the oath he once took.

William Upham posted a deeply disturbing six-minute video to his X account. As of the time of writing, the video remained available on his account.

Wearing his military uniform, the medically discharged former Marine First Lieutenant leveled the ultimate threat against the leader of the America First movement, declaring that President Trump “must be killed”.

He claimed he reached a “turning point” in his campaign after realizing “our country is broken” and that “we are led by a president who’s the enemy of God.”

Upham tied his hatred to President Trump’s recent criticism of Pope Leo XIV and an AI-generated image Trump posted depicting himself in a Jesus-like pose. “He is nothing like Jesus Christ,” Upham said.

The former Marine tried to cloak his call for assassination in religious language, claiming “we are at war with evil” and that “this is a war between God and the Antichrist.”

He ranted that “America is Babylon” and that “the Book of Revelation is occurring right now.”

He also stated that “violence should never be used for evil purposes such as vengeance or plunder” while simultaneously insisting the President “must be killed.”

This is the dangerous, unhinged rhetoric that has fueled a documented pattern of political violence and multiple assassination attempts against President Trump.

In a statement posted to X, the Marine Corps said: “The Marine Corps is aware of the disturbing statements made by William Upham, who was medically discharged on May 30, 2025. The comments made by Upham are a direct violation of the oath he swore to uphold and are not in keeping with the service’s values.”

Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao was even more direct: “Unacceptable. William Upham is no longer a Marine and does not represent our values or ethos.”

Below is the full transcript of Upham’s unhinged rant:

For God and Country. This is the motto of my campaign.

I decided to run for office to fix our broken political system, to restore bipartisanship, return power to the working class, and to end our system of Washington insiders, extremism, and excuses from our current members of Congress.

I’ve reached a turning point in my campaign. Why? I’ve come to the realization that our country is broken. We are led by a president who is the enemy of God, and President Trump will never bring us together like God intended.

Democrats are wrong because they’re wrong on the common-sense issues: enforcement of our criminal laws, border security, national security, and social issues that are 80/20. Republicans are wrong because they never address the racism and discrimination that have persisted in our country for generations.

Is our country salvageable? Maybe it is. Our Founding Fathers intended us to be the freest country on this planet, and that’s what we became. But in doing so, we became the most selfish. We turned away from God. We turned away from love and kindness, and we turned away from putting others first.

I served in the United States Marine Corps. I swore an oath when I commissioned:

I, William Upham, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. So help me God.

I joined the United States Marine Corps to defend our country against all enemies, including the enemies here at home.

This principle of defending others, especially the innocent and the vulnerable, is seen in the Bible in many passages. In Esther 8:11, the Prime Minister of Persia authorized the right for Jews to defend themselves, as well as women and children, from armed attackers. In Nehemiah 4:13, builders armed themselves and were stationed for self-defense purposes, with Nehemiah stating, “Fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters.”

This biblical principle can be summarized as follows: God values life, and although self-defense is not explicitly endorsed, it is implied through these passages and should be used to protect the innocent and the vulnerable. Violence should never be used for evil purposes, such as vengeance or plunder.

This is a message to all of God’s children in our country: We must defend ourselves against all enemies. We are at war with evil. This is a war between God and the Antichrist.

There is no doubt in my mind that the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, is the Antichrist. He is a false messiah, and he is your enemy, and he must be killed.

Why do I believe this?

President Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself in the likeness of Jesus Christ. He has also criticized the Pope. He is nothing like Jesus Christ.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:3–12, the Apostle Paul describes the man of lawlessness, otherwise known as the Antichrist, as someone who opposes God, exalts himself, and claims to be God. In Revelation 13:1–8, John describes the Antichrist as a ruler backed by Satan who demands to be worshiped, blasphemes God, and wages war on the saints. All of these descriptions of the Antichrist describe President Trump.

If you disagree with me, you must ask yourself: Is your perspective clouded by MAGA ideology? Are you worshiping a false idol? Is President Trump anything like Jesus Christ?

The Book of Revelation is occurring right now. America is Babylon. God and His angels have condemned our country because we are drowning in sin.

Who are we now?

We are selfish, worshiping ourselves and false idols, not showing love or kindness to our fellow Americans, and treating life without love and dignity.

Instead of remembering our Founding Fathers’ intention of a nation under God, we have lost sight of God and treated Him like He was an accessory. We’ve become too proud to be Americans and not proud enough to be God’s children.

I ask this question to all of you: Is it too late for us to turn from our sins? Is it too late for America?

My answer is no. It’s not too late.

The Lamb will be sacrificed to pay for all of our sins, and our country will be saved from the Babylon that we have become.

President Trump is the Antichrist, and he will be killed and sent to hell. God will prevail against evil.

Kamala Harris emerged from hiding on Tuesday to smear ICE agents following the recent shooting, only for her move to backfire after social media users issued her a very damning reminder.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a driver in Biddeford, Maine, reportedly attempted to run over ICE agents on Monday during a targeted enforcement operation, forcing the agents to fire their weapons in self-defense. The suspect was killed.

A family friend told Maine’s Total Coverage on Tuesday that the man killed was Joan Sebastian Guerrero. He is a 26-year-old migrant originally from Colombia who leaves behind a wife, a 3-year-old child, and a sister.

This came after another migrant, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, was fatally shot in Texas after ramming an ICE vehicle, ignoring commands, and trying to run over an agent last week.

Harris later added her brain-dead take on the matter. She repeated the sob stories circulated by her fellow Democrat cronies and leftist media outlets about the Guerrero merely being an ‘innocent’ father who was ‘murdered’ by ICE agents while his little daughter watched in her pajamas.

“Joan Sebastian Guerrero should still be alive,” Harris wrote on X. “This is the second time in a week that ICE agents have killed someone who — by their own admission — was not the subject of their operation.”

“Now Sebastian is dead, his killing witnessed by his three-year-old daughter wearing her Bluey pajamas,” she added. “This cannot be acceptable in America.”

“There must be an immediate, independent, and transparent investigation. Anyone responsible for wrongdoing must be held accountable.”

Joan Sebastian Guerrero should still be alive.

This is the second time in a week that ICE agents have killed someone who — by their own admission — was not the subject of their operation.

Now Sebastian is dead, his killing witnessed by his three-year-old daughter wearing her…

Americans were quick to fire back by hitting her with a crippling reminder: Harris was the “border czar” while serving as vice president from January 2021 to January 2025.

During that time, the United States experienced the worst immigration crisis in its history. This gave Trump no choice but to push for a mass deportation policy to remove the r*pists and murderers Harris and Joe Biden let in.

This was one of the key reasons Harris lost the 2024 presidential election in a landslide.

As border czar, you are responsible for all the deaths caused by illegals crossing the border during your time as VP.
