A Washington State doctor, who was persecuted for COVID treatments, says doctors are still being muzzled. They are victims of the new systems-based care which replaces doctor-patient care. What that means is the following. Only a handful of entities own the hospitals and most doctors now work for hospitals.

To Control Anti-ICE Riots Jon Putman/Anadolu via Getty Images Topline: President Trump sends the National Guard to Los Angeles amid violent anti-ICE riots. Chaos erupted over the weekend in the Los Angeles area as some anti-ICE protesters turned violent after false claims that ICE had conducted a “raid” on a Home Depot in the city of Paramount had circulated after a Home Depot in L.A. had been raided on Friday. To quell the riots, President Trump mobilized and deployed some 2000 members of the National Guard. By Sunday, things spiraled even further out of control, with hordes of protesters blocking interstates, burning cars, and injuring law enforcement officers. In response, Northern Command said it was ready to send in 500 Marines to help keep the peace. But LA’s Democratic Mayor Karen Bass said federal authorities are making things worse – and that Trump is responsible for the widespread unrest. “What we’re seeing in Los Angeles is chaos that is provoked by the administration,” Bass said. “When you raid Home Depot and workplaces, when you tear parents and children apart, and when you run armored caravans through our streets, you cause fear and you cause panic. And deploying federalized troops is a dangerous escalation… I call on all Angelenos to continue expressing your right, your anger, your outrage. But to do it peacefully.” Dozens of people have been detained throughout the protests, and at least two law enforcement officers have been injured, according to a report from CBS. “There were times when things were out of control in this situation and the local law enforcement didn’t have a total handle on what was going on,” Elex Michaelson, an anchor at FOX News’s L.A. affiliate, told The Daily Wire on Sunday. “My own colleague on Fox 11, Matthew Seedorf and his photographer, Sam Dubin, were out reporting in Paramount and their vehicle, their news vehicle was destroyed with people punching out the windows – spray-painting “F*** ICE” on it, slashing the tires, stealing stuff from their vehicle – as they were out doing their job. So that’s an example of criminals taking advantage of a situation and creating chaos.”   Trump Vs Musk Part 2: Midterm Boogaloo (Photo by ROBERTO SCHMIDT/AFP via Getty Images) Topline: After their public falling out last week, Trump is warning Elon Musk to stay out of the midterm elections as the president pushes forward on the passage of his signature budget bill.  Elon Musk, who once said he “loved Trump as much as a straight man can love another man,” continued to slam the president over the weekend. While he has deleted some of his most inflammatory remarks on X, including an allegation that Trump was covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s client list to protect himself, he has put out new statements that have drawn more attention to the rift. Musk tweeted Friday that he would “apologize profusely as soon as there is a full dump of the Epstein files.” Trump responded by calling Musk “the man who has lost his mind” — according to a report from CNN the president asked his aides if the outburst could be related to alleged drug use on Musk’s part, although publicly he has said, “I don’t want to comment on his drug use. I don’t know.. [The New York Times report on the subject] sounded very unfair.” Apart from personal digs, Musk could pose a more substantial risk to Trump’s electoral prospects. Writing on X, the billionaire asked his followers if it was “time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle.” After his audience responded favorably, Musk said it was “fate” and that he would name it the “America Party.” Musk spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars during the 2024 election cycle, and third-party candidates with his backing could potentially act as spoilers in key races, jeopardizing the Republicans’ narrow majority. That has gotten Trump’s attention. Speaking to ABC News, the president said Elon will “have to pay very serious consequences” if he funds challenges against Republicans in 2026.  Allies of both men have publicly and privately called on them to reconcile, but as of now, they remain at odds. President Trump said there was “no reason to” repair the relationship, which he “assumed” was over. However, stranger things have happened – Trump’s current vice president, JD Vance, was once a “never Trumper” who compared the president to Adolf Hitler years before he became one of his supporters.   Women’s Sports Spat Gets Personal (Photo by LOIC VENANCE/AFP via Getty Images) Topline: An online debate has erupted between Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines over the question of transgender-identifying athletes competing in women’s sports. The controversy began when Gaines, a vocal critic of transgender-identifying male athletes competing against women and girls, commented on a social media post from the Minnesota State High School League. The post celebrated Champlin Park High School’s girls’ softball state championship win. However, the team’s star pitcher is a boy who identifies as a girl – and he pitched a shutout in the 6-0 victory. Gaines noted that the team turned its comments off, posting on social media: “To be expected when your star player is a boy.” Biles weighed in by calling Gaines “truly sick” and a “sore loser,” and she accused Gaines of bullying. But then, despite being known for supporting the “body positivity” movement, she mocked Gaines’ physique, telling Gaines to “bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.” Gaines is 5’5″, around average height for a woman. Interestingly, though, some X users dug up an old post from Biles in which she acknowledged men’s innate physical advantages over women. In 2017, she wrote, “Good thing guys don’t compete against girls or he’d take all the gold medals!!” Gaines also noted Biles and other gymnasts suffered under Larry Nassar, suggesting that the same system that failed them then is now negatively impacting female athletes by putting them in vulnerable positions, like allowing men in their locker rooms. Both women have received their fair share of support online. With the support for Gaines, there’s a building outcry now for brands like Athleta to drop Biles as an ambassador for female athletes. On the flip side, legacy media and many left-wing pundits voice their support for Biles. There were a number of op-eds, including one from USA Today, cheering her as a hero. Politically, however, this issue puts Democrats between a rock and a hard place. Many of those fervent and vocal supporters, including celebrities like Biles, are deeply committed to gender ideology and allowing trans-identifying men into women’s sports and women’s spaces. The overwhelming majority disagree – a February 2025 New York Times/Ipsos poll, for example, found that about 80% of respondents believe biological males should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports, including 67% of Democrats and 64% of independents.

President Donald Trump promised Sunday night to restore order in Los Angeles after riots broke out over the weekend with protesters burning cars and attacking federal officers in response to immigration enforcement operations.  Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had directed his administration to take all necessary steps to end the “Migrant riots” and continue the deportations of illegal immigrants. Earlier on Sunday, Trump sent the National Guard into Los Angeles to help quell the unrest that began on Friday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies conducted several immigration raids, including outside of a Home Depot.  “A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots,” Trump added. “Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” In another Truth Social post, Trump ripped into California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass for their handling of the unrest.  “Governor Gavin Newscum and ‘Mayor’ Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they have done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots,” Trump wrote. “These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists. Remember, NO MASKS!” Newsom has blamed Trump for the riots, claiming that he escalated the situation by sending in the National Guard to “manufacture chaos and violence.”   The violence continued on Sunday afternoon as rioters continued to commit vandalism, throw objects and concrete at law enforcement, set vehicles and dumpsters on fire, and shoot “commercial grade fireworks” at law enforcement.  “That can kill you,” said LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. The protesters, including many waving Mexican flags, have also blocked traffic on roads and highways.  The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for a man who threw rocks at law enforcement, injuring a federal officer and damaging federal property. Law enforcement has arrested dozens of people, and many face assault and vandalism-related charges. LAPD declared an unlawful assembly in downtown L.A. on Sunday night. 

The Gentle Barn is an animal rescue and sanctuary with locations in California and Tennessee. The foundation is the dream of Ellie Laks, who set her heart on the concept when she was seven years old. Henry is one of their rescue pigs, and he is the best while waiting for his mom to apply sunscreen to protect his ears. @thegentlebarn That kiss at the end Why do pigs need sunscreen? The same reason we do! While our rescue pigs do get important protection from the sun in their daily mud baths and all the shade we provide, they need extra help preventing sunburn, especially on sensitive areas like Henry’s king-sized ears! #rescuepigs #pigcare #farmanimalsanctuary #piggy #cuteanimals ♬ Married Life (From “Up”) – Gina Luciani What an adorable blond boy. Did you catch that “thank you” kiss? Henry has been at The Gentle Barn’s Tennessee location since 2015. He and his brother Horton were rescued after running down the street, starving and covered in ticks. After months of rehabilitation and belly rubs, caregivers noticed Horton having mobility issues from fast growth. Henry picked flowers, brought food for Horton, and stayed by his side until he passed away. Since then, Henry has become the herd-father, taking care of everyone. He will spend the remainder of his days at The Gentle Barn relaxing in a mud bath, getting belly rubs, and having animal-safe sunscreen applied to his ears. Image from Instagram. The Gentle Barn, founded in 1999 by Ellie Laks, is based on her dream. Animals have always played a healing role in her life. After majoring in psychology and special education, she applies her knowledge, passions, and talents to The Gentle Barn. It is a safe haven for animals and an educational center for children. Joining as a volunteer in 2002, Jay Weiner quickly fell in love with the animals and the healing atmosphere. The Gentle Barn outgrew their half-acre in the San Fernando Valley and moved to a six-acre property in Santa Clarita. The property is now home to approximately 200 animals. The Nashville, Tennessee, location provides services to the Midwest. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
