Melania reportedly turned down a traditional White House tea meeting, citing the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid under Biden’s administration. A source close to Melania pointed to FBI agents searching through her personal belongings during the classified documents probe—an investigation that Judge Aileen Cannon later dismissed in July. Biden was provably behind the raid. He continuously and […] The post Melania Declines EdD Jill’s Orientation Tea appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Melania Trump has turned down an invitation to meet with Jill Biden on Wednesday —  when President-elect Donald Trump will visit President Joe Biden — with sources reportedly close to Melania citing the FBI raiding Mar-a-Lago as a key reason why. Melania did visit and toured the White House with then-first lady Michelle Obama after Trump won the 2016 election. “She ain’t going,” a source told The New York Post. “Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting. …Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet.” The FBI executed a search warrant and raided the Trumps’ Florida Mar-a-Lago residence on August 8, 2022, as part of its investigation into Trump’s handling of presidential documents. Mr. Trump was at Trump Tower in New York City at the time. In September, Melania Trump posted a video on X in which she quoted the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated …” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ She followed by stating, “I never imagined my privacy would be invaded by the government here in America. The FBI raided my home in Florida and searched through my personal belongings. This is not just my story; it serves as a warning to all Americans, a reminder that our freedom and rights must be respected.” https://t.co/ZCTwZSqZND pic.twitter.com/RxGQPFGZP3 — MELANIA TRUMP (@MELANIATRUMP) September 14, 2024   Melania stated that the FBI “rummaged through my personal belongings.” Asked if that made her angry, she recalled, “Yeah, it made me angry. Yes. Invasion of privacy. The way it was done, I was really surprised. … I saw unpleasant stuff, that nobody wants to see it. And you get angry because, you know, nobody should be putting up with that kind of stuff. Some person, I don’t even know who, or how many people, they went through my stuff.” Roughly one month after the FBI raid, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “I’ll soon be heading to the scene of the unwarranted, unjust, and illegal Raid and Break-In of my home in Florida, Mar-a-Lago. I’ll be able to see for myself the results of the unnecessary ransacking of rooms and other areas of the house. It has already been proven that so much has been wrongfully taken, it is not a ‘pretty thing.’ So sad! The 4th Amendment, and much more, has been totally violated, a grave invasion of privacy. I will keep the American public informed on TRUTH!” Trump’s confidential documents case was dismissed in July by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.

Four hospitals that promote irreversible transgender procedures for children will be the target of an ad campaign launching this week, The Daily Wire has learned. The American Parents Coalition will launch a six-figure campaign Tuesday targeting Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Children’s Minnesota, Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The numbers used in the campaign are from the Stop The Harm Database, which identifies the number of child sex change patients, surgeries, prescriptions, and financial stakes of the extremely controversial gender intervention procedures. “Parents deserve to know the truth about the irreversible damage these hospitals are doing to children through gender interventions right in their own backyards,” American Parents Coalition Executive Director Alleigh Marré told The Daily Wire. “Sex-change surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones are not treatments – they are interventions that create lifelong patients and customers,” she added. “Hospitals are allowing activists and politics to cloud the indisputable data showing the risks and damage associated with these procedures.” The campaign will include mobile billboards at each of the hospitals that highlight how many children are being harmed by these procedures, as well as targeted digital ads in each of the states. In D.C., for example, the campaign will highlight that Children’s National Medical Center has allegedly harmed 49 children: the hospital has had two surgery patients, 47 total hormone and puberty blocker patients, and 402 total prescriptions written, amounting to $67,293 in total submitted charges, according to the “Stop The Harm” database. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, dubbed the number-one offender by the American Parents Coalition, has had an alleged total of 122 sex change patients, five surgery patients, 117 hormone and puberty blocker patients, and 768 total prescriptions written, according to the group — totaling at $230,784 in submitted charges.

The American Parents Coalition will send a “lookout” text alert to parents across the country that showcases the campaign and the dangers to children that these procedures represent. The campaign is timely, given the massive emphasis that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign placed on transgender issues. Though Kamala Harris tried to distance herself from her past support radical stances, such as tax-payer transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants and federal prisoners, Trump and his campaign effectively used her remarks to show the American people how out of touch she was on this topic. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on December 4 in U.S. v. Skrmetti, which revolves around the constitutionality of laws protecting children from transgender interventions, such as hormones, puberty blockers, and surgeries. The case arose when the American Civil Liberties Union sued Tennessee, arguing that the state’s law protecting kids violates the equal protection rights of minors who believe they are transgender.

When it comes to misunderstood critters who are actually adorable, flying foxes are definitely near the top of the list! Although many people are scared of bats, these animals are pretty fascinating when you get to know them. They’re also incredibly important to the environment! Conservationist Ben Dessen posted a precious video of his new flying fox friends in Africa. In this clip, Ben traveled to Protect Paradise Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Seychelles. There, he met some of the cutest, cuddliest flying foxes you’ll ever see! These affectionate animals seemed happiest when the man was giving them snuggles and head scratches. When they weren’t being held in his arms, they were crawling all over his torso! @bendessen Have you seen a cuter face? Flying foxes are not only adorable, they also play a very important role in keeping our forests healthy and thriving. Sadly, bats are often feared and persecuted right around the world. They are even eaten here in the Seychelles and are caught in the most inhumane ways. I was lucky enough to visit the @protect.paradise Wildlife Rescue Centre and see the great work they are doing to protect not only this important keystone species, but many other amazing native animals. Have you seen a bat in the wild before? • • • • #bat #flyingfox #megabat #bats #batman #wildlife #cuteanimals #adorable #amazinganimals #animalfacts #conservation #environment #coolfacts #cute #cool #seychelles #protectparadise #bendessen ♬ original sound – Ben Dessen While Ben enjoyed his visit with these friendly flying foxes, he delivered an important message to his followers. Apparently, bat homes all over the world are being destroyed, leaving these animals vulnerable. Flying foxes in Seychelles are no exception. Not only is this devastating for the bats themselves, but also for the rest of the environment! “Now, these remarkable creatures are known as a keystone species, which means they are crucial for the survival of the beautiful rainforest here on the islands,” Ben said. He went on to explain that native plants need flying foxes to help disperse their seeds. If these creatures were to die out, it would spell doom for their habitats, as well! Thankfully, Ben also said that Protect Paradise Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is dedicated to helping sick or orphaned bats by “rehabilitating them and releasing them back into the wild.” All in all, flying foxes are pretty cool little animals! Screengrab from TikTok Aside from being important to the environment, Ben believes that flying foxes are also “inquisitive, intelligent, and adorable.” It’s a shame that so many people dislike these animals! “Sadly, bats are often feared and persecuted right around the world,” the conservationist wrote in his caption. “They are even eaten here in Seychelles and are caught in the most inhumane ways!” Although these creatures are often maligned, it’s still not a good idea to get too close to them in the wild. Even Ben warned his followers never to touch an injured bat. It’s always best to call the local wildlife rescue instead! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, lava incinerated anything living for miles around. As an experiment, scientists dropped gophers onto parts of the scorched mountain for only 24 hours. The benefits from that single day were undeniable—and still visible 40 years later. Once the blistering blast of ash and debris cooled, scientists theorized that […] The post Gophers Brought Mount St. Helens Back to Life in a Single Day–Following Devastating Eruption appeared first on Good News Network.
