Suicide rates have risen tenfold among U.S. veterans since 9/11
“Despite efforts in recent years to prevent suicide in military veterans the problem has continued to grow, which suggests that new approaches are needed,” Howard said.
For the study, Howard’s team looked at more than 8,200 suicides among veterans, comparing them with more than 562,000 U.S. adults in the general population.
The investigators found that between 2006 and 2020 suicide rates among veterans who suffered a TBI increased by 15% a year, compared with 14% per year among veterans without a TBI and 1% a year among the general population.
From 2019 to 2020, suicide rates per 100,000 people increased from 80 to 90 for veterans with a TBI and from 50 to 57 for veterans without a TBI, but it did not change in the general population, the researchers noted.
The report was published online Aug. 28 in JAMA Neurology.
Adams thinks more outreach to veterans is needed, not only by the Veterans Administration (VA) but by other health care providers. She pointed out that many recent veterans don’t get their health care through the VA.
She noted that people in a crisis can call 988 and if they are veterans they can connect with the Veterans Crisis Line.
“That’s a great immediate resource for people struggling,” Adams said, but helping veterans is not just the job of the VA.
12-Year-Old Kicked Out Of Colorado Classroom Over Gadsden Flag Patch
The 12-year-old, identified only as Jaiden, was told that the flag violated school policy regarding the displaying of symbols that “refer to drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or weapons,” and that he had to remove the patch if he wanted to return to class.
“The reason we do not want the flag displayed is due to its origins with slavery and the slave trade,” an administrator said during a secretly recorded meeting with Jaiden and his mother.
Many on X were quick to side with Jaiden and his mother, pointing out that the rattlesnake imagery on the Gadsden flag was inspired by Benjamin Franklin, who “spent the latter part of his life petitioning Congress to free the South’s slave.”
The Culpeper Minute Men, who also used the symbol, “incorporated 14 black and Native men and a black flagbearer—a greater ‘diversity’ than many other regiments,” according to Tony Kinnet, an investigative columnist of the Daily Signal.

KJP Gives Unsettling Answer on ISIS Smuggling People Into the Country
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre was cornered at the daily briefing Tuesday about why the Biden administration allowed an ISIS-sympathizer to smuggle people illegally into the United States.
Jean Pierre couldn’t account for where all of the individuals connected to the smuggler are and attempted to reassure Americans illegal immigrants who “fit the profile” will be given extra scrutiny.
The comments come after an alarming report shows countless individuals are missing and unaccounted for.
More than 100 suspected terrorists have been arrested at the U.S. southern border since President Joe Biden took office.
It is estimated two million “gotaways” have crossed into the U.S. undetected. In May, an Afghan national on the terror watch list was arrested in San Diego.
DC Reaches $5.1 Million Settlement Agreement in Lawsuit Over Gun Rights Violations
A group of five different nonresidents filed a federal class action lawsuit (pdf) against the District of Columbia’s local government in 2015, alleging their gun rights had been violated by D.C. police officers.
On Monday—more than eight years after the plaintiffs started their lawsuit—U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth granted preliminary approval for a settlement agreement (pdf) that would pay out around $50,000 to six named class representative plaintiffs, another $2.2 million to cover the plaintiff’s attorney expenses, and another $2.6 million to notify and compensate other gun owners similarly impacted by D.C.’s gun laws.
The original 2015 class action complaint argues that the D.C. gun laws at the time prohibited residents from carrying their firearms outside their homes and flatly prohibited nonresidents from registering their firearms within the district.

Pfizer’s COVID Vaccine Causes VAIDS in Children, Study Proves
Finally, we have scientific confirmation that vaccination against COVID-19 causes a marked decrease in immunity to heterologous pathogens such as other viruses, bacteria and fungi. This decreased immunity to other pathogens (acquired immune deficit) is what people colloquially refer to as “VAIDS.”
The study titled BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccination in children alters cytokine responses to heterologous pathogens and Toll-like receptor agonists, set out to measure the quality of immune responses in children vaccinated with the Pfizer COVID vaccine.
In the introduction, scientists coyly said that vaccination “altered cytokine responses”. As we will discover, the jabs altered immune responses for the worse, not better!
10 arrested in ‘disturbing and a heinous’ kidnapping and murder: ‘more arrests’ coming
He was “forcibly abducted” by several people, which led dozens of law enforcement officers from several jurisdictions on a multicounty search.
Police had “a significant amount” of interviews with people who live in “The Jungle” and executed over 40 search warrants until his remains were found in a neighboring county on Aug. 3.
“As the missing persons case evolved, it revealed a particularly disturbing and a heinous series of events that ultimately revealed the kidnapping and murder of Mr. Rath,” Maj. Jeffrey VanAuken, New York State Police Troop C commander, said during a press conference Monday.
Monday marked the 100th day since Rath’s abduction.
Las Vegas woman slashes police officer before being shot: video
The officer-involving shooting that claimed the life of Sandra Lopez-Ochoa happened last Friday and was the fifth of its kind this year, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Sheriff Sasha Larkin.
Larkin said Officer Rudy Sacba and his partner were sent to an apartment complex around 1 a.m. after a man called dispatch and “stated his sister had battered him.” Minutes later, Lopez-Ochoa, 25, also called police to report a “domestic disturbance.”
They then went inside an apartment where they found her sitting on the couch in a living room, according to police.
Larkin said when Sacba’s partner grabbed Lopez-Ochoa’s arm to handcuff her, she reached down, grabbed a knife and slashed the officer in the top of the forehead.

Florida mother kills 2 kids, herself in apparent murder-suicide after losing custody battle: sheriff
Brandy Hutchins is accused of shooting her 10-year-old son, Aiden, and 19-year-old daughter before turning the gun on herself inside the family’s mobile home in Lake Wales.
The incident took place after a judge ordered her to surrender Aiden to his father who lives in Maine. Hutchins’ daughter had a different father and was not involved in the custody battle.
Hutchins’ ex-husband was in Florida to appear in court with her because she did not appropriately turn over custody of their son.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said she was instructed to give up custody of him by 6 p.m. Friday but failed to show up for the appointment.

REPORT: ISIS-Connected ‘Contractor’ Smuggled Uzbek Migrants Across Border into U.S.
Not all of the Uzbek migrants released into the U.S. have been located for the investigation, the report states. More than 15 have been located and are “still under scrutiny by the FBI as possible criminal threats,” a U.S. official told CNN.
In May, Breitbart reported that a source with CBP revealed that five migrants found on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database watch list were apprehended after crossing the border into Arizona.
The number of migrants appearing in the TSDB skyrocketed under the Biden administration.
During the four fiscal years of the Trump administration (FY 17 through FY 20) agents apprehended only 14 migrants appearing in the national security database. During FY 21, FY 22, and Year-to-Date FY 23, agents apprehended 196 known or suspected terrorists on the list, the CBP report states. These numbers do not include the May arrests above.

Viral Photo of Woman Hanging Out Car Window with AK-47 Leads to Arrest After Driver Is Tagged on Instagram
“Not only does the car match a vehicle that Gonzalez-Nunez owned at the time, but Instagram users tagged him in photos from the incident and mentioned him by name,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Leif Dautch wrote in a legal motion, per local outlet Mercury News.
Dautch said that Gonzalez-Nunez, a resident of Hayward, California, also reportedly made a T-shirt emblazoned with the photo, then posted a photo of himself wearing it on Instagram.
The image became a viral symbol of the Bay Area’s perceived anarchy and disorder in the summer of 2021.
Gonzalez-Nunez’s current charges aren’t connected to the photo. He’s accused of owning three guns and ammunition as a felon, including two pistols that were unserialized.
It was a ‘dispute over sauce’: 16-year-old girl stabbed to death near U Street McDonald’s
After deliberating for nearly two-and-a-half hours, a D.C. Superior Court magistrate judge decided to hold a 16-year-old girl at a secured juvenile facility in D.C. at least until her next hearing on Friday.
The teen from Waldorf, Maryland is charged with second-degree murder (as a juvenile) among multiple other serious charges, in connection with the stabbing death of another 16-year-old from Waldorf, Naima Liggon.
It was said in the juvenile proceeding, that an argument began in the vehicle, apparently over sweet and sour sauce. It then turns physical.
The teens at one point exited the vehicle, and a fight broke out right outside the U Street McDonald’s.
Study calls for a shareholder-based carbon tax as 69,700 of the wealthiest US households are found to be “super emitters” of CO2
A new study that analysed US household income data over the last three decades found that the bottom 90 per cent of households’ share of emissions has fallen, while the top 10 per cent’s share has increased.
The wealthiest 10 per cent are the source of 40 per cent of US national greenhouse gas emissions, according to research published in the journal PLOS Climate on 17 August 2023.
The researchers also found that the wealthiest 1 per cent of households were responsible for between 15 per cent and 17 per cent of national emissions

Air Pollution Now A Major Risk To Life Expectancy In South Asia, Says Study
Rising air pollution can cut life expectancy by more than five years per person in South Asia, one of the world’s most polluted regions, according to a report published on August 29 which flagged the growing burden of hazardous air on health.
The region, which includes the world’s most polluted countries of Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan, accounts for more than half of the total life years lost globally to pollution, the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute (EPIC) said in its latest Air Quality Life Index.
In South Asia, particulate pollution levels are currently more than 50 percent higher than at the start of the century.

German Islamist sentenced to 14 years for killing of girl
Jennifer W., from a small town in the German state of Lower Saxony, had been found guilty of the killing, as well as membership in a terrorist organization and sentenced to 10 years in prison in an initial trial in 2021.
But that sentence was deemed too lenient by state prosecutors, who appealed.
In addition, a federal court voided the first conviction because of alleged legal failures in the first trial, which meant the circumstances of the young girl’s death had to be reinvestigated.
The court found that Jennifer W., then aged 23, had traveled to Syria in 2014 to join her husband Taha A.-J., also a member of the so-called “Islamic State” who had bought a Yazidi woman and her 5-year-old daughter as slaves.
The couple then moved to Iraq, where the Yazidi woman and her daughter were forced to work in their household and were frequently abused by both Jennifer W. and her husband.
According to the court’s findings, the man tied the young girl to the bars of a window outside in the middle of the summer 2015, where she died of thirst.

Surviving ISIS: The hunt for the missing Yazidis | Foreign Correspondent
It’s almost a decade since ISIS militants swept through Iraq and Syria but the legacy of their brutal caliphate remains. While many Iraqis are reclaiming their lives in a period of relative calm, the targets of ISIS’ genocide, the Yazidis, are not at peace.
The world was transfixed when this religious minority fled to the mountains of Sinjar. Rescue efforts managed to airlift some to safety and others who escaped on foot and were eventually settled in countries like Australia. But many were trapped and killed, and huge numbers of women and girls were taken as slaves.
This week Foreign Correspondent goes in search of what happened to them. Reporter Stephanie March travels to northern Iraq and uncovers incredible stories of survival and hears brave accounts from those who have rescued hundreds of Yazidi women. She also meets the women trafficked by ISIS who allege they were held captive by an Australian.
Meta uncovers world’s ‘largest’ spam campaign to boost China
Meta said it removed some 7,700 Facebook accounts plus hundreds of other pages, groups and Instagram accounts that pushed pro-China narratives online.
The accounts typically praised China and its policies in Xinjiang, and criticized the United States, Western foreign policy, and individuals critical of Beijing, including journalists.
“We assess that it’s the largest, though unsuccessful, and most prolific covert influence operation that we know of in the world today,” said Meta’s global threat intelligence lead, Ben Nimmo.
Parents pull out kids from Kinderland Woodlands Mart over videos showing alleged abuse
A parent whose two-year-old daughter was seen in the video footage seemingly being forced to drink water, told The Straits Times she will pull her daughter out from Kinderland once she can get a place in another pre-school.
The parent, an educator in her 30s, said she was appalled when she saw the videos, adding that she can no longer trust the pre-school to look after her child.
The mother, who declined to be named, said she was informed by the principal of the pre-school two weeks ago that the teacher had “mishandled her daughter”. This was before the video was circulated.

The PCR test was not a diagnostic test, it is just a process used to make a whole lot of something out of something, PCR is a ‘process’, not a diagnostic test.
We did not know the number of cycles, amplifications (by doubling it per cycle) because we would have known that they were over-cycling to ensure they denoted most as positive when they were not.
Most, in our math, 95% of those denoted as ‘positive’ were ‘false-positive’.
We closed societies down, we shut schools down knowing 95% were not positive. It was a fraud PCR manufactured pandemic. Non-culturable, non-infectious, non-lethal (non-clinically ill) virus was what we detected beyond 24 amplifications.
We were cycling at 40 or 45 cycles. It was all a lie. 24 was the cut-off cycles to detect infectious virus, and so can you thus see the devastating duplicity and lie?
PCR test doubles the fragments (RNA fragments) in cycle thresholds and keep doubling until they have enough genetic material to identify.
So the goal was never to identify accurate infections, the goal was to lie, scare, and SHUT down!

7.1-magnitude earthquake strikes Bali Sea, aftershocks rattle residents
BALI – A 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck deep in the sea north of Bali and Lombok islands in Indonesia early on Tuesday morning, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said, sending residents running out of buildings.
The quake’s epicentre was 203km north of Mataram, Indonesia, and very deep at 516,000m below the earth’s surface, EMSC said.
Indonesian and US geological agencies pegged the magnitude at 7.1, with no threat of a tsunami.
The quake was felt just before 4am local time across coastal areas in Bali and Lombok and was followed by two quakes of magnitudes 6.1 and 6.5, according to the Indonesian Geological Agency.

Joe Biden Used a Fake Name to Conduct Official Government Business
One of the names Biden used was “Robert L. Peters” and in addition to his communication with Hunter, he used that name to conduct official government business.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer sent a letter to the National Archives earlier this month requesting all documents containing President Biden’s pseudonym.
We already have evidence of then-Vice President Biden speaking, dining, and having coffee with his son’s foreign business associates,” Comer released said about the investigation. “We also know that Hunter Biden and his associates were informed of then-Vice President Biden’s official government duties in countries where they had a financial interest. The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family’s corruption.”
