Derek Hough of "Dancing with the Stars" fame announced that his wife Hayley Erbert Hough needed an emergency surgery but is stable."At the end of last night's tour performance in Washington D.C.‚ my wife Hayley became disoriented and was taken to the hospital. She was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniectomy. She is in stable condition‚" Hough said in a written statement posted to Instagram on Thursday. "I want to thank the first responders and medical personnel who have cared for and continue to care for her. I ask for your prayers and positivity during this time."According to the Cleveland Clinic‚ a craniectomy involves removing part of the patient's skull."A craniectomy is a type of major brain surgery where a surgeon removes part of your skull to access your brain‚" the Cleveland Clinic states. "Your care team might consider a craniectomy to reduce swelling‚ pressure or bleeding (extra fluid) on your brain. Pressure in your skull from swelling or extra fluid can be life-threatening or cause brain damage because there isn’t a lot of room between your brain and your skull. Any pressure is dangerous and can affect how your brain functions."Hough and his wife have been on a tour‚ and the tour schedule indicates that there was a show in Oxon Hill‚ Maryland‚ on Wednesday."I was in DC last night. The show was absolutely amazing… Hayley was fabulous… I am so sorry this happened. We were sad to not see her at the end of the show. I had a feeling something happened… Many prayers and sending love‚" someone wrote in response to Hough's Instagram post about his wife's medical emergency."Sending you all the love I have in my soul. Prayers for a speedy recovery‚" DWTS host Alfonso Ribeiro wrote. Hough's sister Julianne Hough‚ who like her brother also has a long history with the DWTS program‚ cohosted the latest DWTS season with Ribeiro.Like Blaze News?

On the anniversary of the infamous 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii‚ former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii questioned whether "the remilitarization of Japan" is really a good idea."As we remember Japan's aggression in the Pacific‚ we need to ask ourselves this question: is the remilitarization of Japan‚ which is presently underway‚ truly a good idea? We need to be careful that shortsighted‚ self-serving leaders do not end up bringing us again face-to-face with a remilitarized Japan. #PearlHarbor82‚" Gabbard tweeted.Former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois — who currently has the Ukrainian phrase "Slava Ukraini" next to his name on X‚ along with American‚ Ukrainian‚ and Israeli flag emojis — responded to Gabbard's post by calling her "crazy."

Three GOP lawmakers are pushing legislation that would have the U.S. completely withdraw from the United Nations and cut off all funding to the globalist organization.Sen. Mike Lee of Utah‚ Rep. Chip Roy of Texas‚ and Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama are pushing the proposal‚ which would put the kibosh on U.S. ties to the U.N. and affiliated entities‚ including the World Health Organization."The UN doesn't deserve one single dime of American taxpayer money or one bit of our support; we should defund it and leave immediately. I am proud to lead this critical effort alongside Mike Lee and Mike Rogers‚" Roy said‚ according to a press release."No more blank checks for the United Nations. Americans' hard-earned dollars have been funneled into initiatives that fly in the face of our values –enabling tyrants‚ betraying allies‚ and spreading bigotry‚" Lee said‚ according to the press release. "With the DEFUND Act‚ we're stepping away from this debacle. If we engage with the UN in the future‚ it will be on our terms‚ with the full backing of the Senate and an iron-clad escape clause."While conservatives would hail the prospect of the U.S. completely ditching the U.N.‚ the legislation likely has no chance of advancing through Congress‚ as many lawmakers would probably oppose the idea of U.S. withdrawal."The President shall terminate all membership by the United States in the United Nations‚ and in any organ‚ specialized agency‚ commission‚ or other formally affiliated body of the United Nations‚" the text of the measure reads in part.Like Blaze News?
