Woman, who has been in a coma for 14 years, gives birth at a nursing home
January 4, 2019 at 2:05 PM EST - Updated January 5 at 1:23 AM
PHOENIX (KPHO/KTVK/CNN) - Arizona authorities are investigating the rape of a female patient in a vegetative state in a nursing facility.
The woman stunned workers when she went into labor on Saturday because they didn't even know she was pregnant.
The woman has been in a vegetative state at the Hacienda Skilled Nursing Facility in Phoenix for at least 14 years after a near-drowning incident.
But nobody knows who did this to her.
An employee at the facility, who didn’t want her name or face being used, said staff could not believe what was unfolding inside the victim’s room.
"How could it happen? And just anger and sadness, and sick to my stomach,” the employee said. "None of the staff were aware that she was pregnant until she was pretty much giving birth."
When asked how the staff was alerted that the woman was going into labor, the staffer, who admits she was not in the room, said she had been moaning all morning. A nurse who was in the room delivered the baby boy, who is healthy.
Adult Protective Services immediately dispatched a team to conduct health and safety checks on all members living in the facility.
The Arizona Department of Health says they are actively working with local law enforcement in their criminal investigation.
But right now, no suspects have been named.

Actual info on the Military Equipment captured by the Taliban
Firstly, most if not all of the equipment has been equipment given to the Afghani Army over the last 20 years of different administrations. They pretty much have been getting stuff "lost" by the Afghani army for years anyway. But we have to drop the idea that all this crap was stuff abandoned by the US army as they fled the country, becasue Trump announced he was drawing down the amount of troops in the country to 2000 droops by January 15th, and they had been closing down bases since trump started negotiations with the Taliban in march 2020.
In any case this is a list of what the US Army gave the Afghanis over the course of 20 years
Astute observers will note that the $85 Billion in funding that the US gave over the last 2 decades is the same number that Biden is said to have left behind in Afghanistan. How He personally could be responsible for everything given to the Afghan Army over 20 years is an question only the demented can answer.
In any case this is a list of what the US Army gave the Afghanis over the course of 20 years
In response to: The Biden administration admitted on Tuesday that the Taliban had captured a significant amount of U.S. military equipment originally supplied to Afghan security forces during the militants’ blitzkrieg on Kabul in recent weeks — and the U.S. doesn’t know exactly how much American gear they’ve lost to terrorist hands.
“We don’t have a complete picture, obviously, of where every article of defense materials has gone but certainly, a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban,” White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said during a press conference. “??Obviously, we don’t have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport.”
*snip*
While Sullivan did not specify what a “fair amount” of defense materials entailed, he had previously blamed the members of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) for laying down their arms before the Taliban onslaught, stating that the U.S.’s $86 billion in funding over the last two decades[ “could not give them the will and ultimately they decided that they would not fight for Kabul.”
At the moment, there’s still a lot that senior U.S. officials don’t know about American weapons falling into the hands of the Taliban. But based on past reporting from U.S. government watchdogs, the militant group may have inherited a broad arsenal of American weapons from the hands of fleeing Afghan security forces.
According to a 2017 Government Accountability Office report, the U.S. military transferred roughly 75,898 vehicles, 599,690 weapons systems, and 208 aircraft to the ANDSF between fiscal years 2003 and 2016. And according to a recent Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction analysis, the last few years have seen the Defense Department send the ANDSF more than 7,000 machine guns, more than 4,700 Humvees, and more than 20,000 grenades. This is to say nothing of the communications, explosive ordnance disposal, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) equipment transferred to the ANDSF over the course of two decades as detailed in the GAO report. According to the Intercept, the Taliban have even seized U.S. military biometrics devices “that could aid in the identification of Afghans who assisted coalition forces.”

Faith vs Reality
Which one is more powerful?
faith or reality?
The story about the Russian experiment
There was once a prisoner who was given the "Hang to Death" punishment. The Russian scientist met him & asked if he would like to do something for humanity while dying. They wanted him for an experiment test where instead of hanging to death he would be bitten by snake. The prisoner found "No loss" in this deal. So the papers were signed & the prisoner was given to the scientist for conducting their deadly experiment.
In the experiment a very venomous snake was shown to the prisoner. It was told that his eyes will be closed by a cloth & then this snake would bite him and he would die. They wanted to note the reactions how fast the poison mounts the body. The prisoner agreed. They closed his eyes with a cloth.
Now instead of the venomous snake they took a needle & pinched on the forefinger of his leg. Within few seconds his body became blue & bubble & foam started coming out of the mouth just as in case of a real snake bite! Mind power over body power? What we believe happens? Does faith or reverse faith works?!! Some of this questions are still unanswered & unproved.
Reference - Word of Mouth. Not sure whether a true or untrue story.

Warfighter relieved of Command after Speaking Truth to Inept, Corrupt Power
These are my people. My Brothers. And the fighters are calling out the f'ing useless POS wine-and-brie JCS cowardly and inept dirtbags who let this debacle happen, and allowed 20 years of bravery and sacrifices to be tossed away and over 10,000 Americans to be surrendered to gang-raping, neck-sawing Muzz hyenas.

U.S. Marine Lt. Col. ‘relieved of duty’ after emotional rebuke of Generals Milley and Austin…
Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, U.S. Marine Corps
A Marine officer was relieved of duty on Friday after criticizing military leaders. Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller confirmed he has “been relieved for cause based on lack of trust and confidence as of 14:30 today.”
“America has many issues … but it’s my home … it’s where my three sons will become men. America is still the light shining in a fog of chaos. When my Marine Corps career comes to an end, I look forward to a new beginning,” he said. “My life’s purpose is to make America the most lethal and effective foreign diplomacy instrument. While my days of hand to hand violence may be ending…I see new light on the horizon.”
Colonel, I salute you.
If only DC had the moral courage of the men on the front line and in the barracks.

Multiple US Marines, Civilians Killed In Kabul Attack
Multiple U.S. military service members were killed in explosions outside the Kabul airport Thursday, the Defense Department confirmed.
“We can confirm that a number of U.S. service members were killed in today’s complex attack at Kabul airport,” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said in a statement after the WSJ report. Kirby didn’t specify the number of fatalities.
Ross Wilson, the U.S. ambassador in Kabul, informed American embassy staff that four Marines had been killed, an official with knowledge of the briefing told the Wall Street Journal. U.S. officials confirmed the report to Fox News Pentagon reporter Lucas Tomlinson.
Afghan health officials estimated that there have been 30-40 confirmed fatalities as a result of the attacks, The New York Times reported. The officials spoke anonymously because the Taliban, which said 13 had been killed, told them not to speak to the press.

ONE OF A NUMBER OF FACT CHECKS/BIAS ON "STATEOFTHENATION"
Overall, we rate State of the Nation (SOTN) extreme right biased and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and pseudoscience as well as the use of poor sources, a complete lack of transparency, and false claims.
Detailed Report
Reasoning: Extreme Right, Propaganda, Conspiracy
Country: USA
World Press Freedom Rank: USA 45/180
History
Founded in 2012, State of the Nation (formerly State of the Nation 2012) is a propaganda and conspiracy website that focuses on right-wing politics. According to their about page, “SOTN has no other interest except uncovering and presenting the facts. SOTN commentary provides a uniquely insightful perspective rarely found anywhere else in the alternative news media.”
The website completely lacks transparency as it does not name authors, editors, or owners.

Funded by / Ownership
State of the Nation lacks transparency as they do not disclose ownership and there does not appear to be a source of revenue.
Analysis / Bias
In review, State of the Nation does not write original content, but rather links to other news sources, videos, social media, etc. They also republish news from other sources. Story selection comes from a far-right perspective with many stories promoting conspiracy theories such as this Here’s the Raw Truth about the Covid-19 Vaccine. (Video). This is a video that features Anti-vaccination Dr. Simone Gold, who has made numerous false claims regarding the Coronavirus. She was also arrested for taking part in the Capitol riots on January 6th. When it comes to sourcing they frequently use far-right questionable sources such as Breitbart, Zero Hedge, and the Gateway Pundit.
Editorially, all stories favor the right and particular former President Trump such as this Palm Beach County Harassing Trump, Chasing Him Out of Mar-a-Lago. In general, SOTN is not a credible source of information as they routinely promote far-right conspiracies, propaganda, and pseudoscience.

Livin' in a polygag and givin' off spock...
It's difficult getting the lyrics 100% on some songs. I blogged about this before.
An old song came on the radio today that needs clarification.
It's Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler.
You may have heard it... what sounds like:
"I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark, we're livin' in a polygag and givin' off spock"
Is really:
"I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark, we're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks"
Yeah...
Bonnie turned 70 this year!
