Nearly three dozen migrants have produced documents proving they're alive after the Social Security Administration labeled them as being deceased...

In a tragic and surprising turn of events, recently released records reveal that Gene Hackman‘s wife, Betsy Arakawa may have been searching for answers about her medical symptoms just days before she passed away. The documents, which include emails and internet searches, point to a couple concerned with health issues in the days leading up to their deaths. Authorities confirmed that Arakawa died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare disease spread by rodent droppings. Hackman, 95, is believed to have passed away roughly a week later, reportedly due to heart disease complicated by Alzheimer’s. Their partially mummified remains were discovered in their Santa Fe home on February 26, after staff members raised the alarm.

These searches occurred between February 8 and the morning of February 12, just days before her death. One search questioned whether COVID-19 could cause dizziness or nosebleeds. In an email to her massage therapist, Arakawa mentioned that Hackman had woken up with cold or flu symptoms on February 11. Though he tested negative for COVID-19, she canceled her appointment out of an abundance of caution. These details showed a glimpse into what the couple grappled with privately before their sudden passing. Public records shed light on Betty Arakawa and Gene Hackman’s final days GENE HACKMAN at the 60th Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hills Hilton. 19JAN2003. Paul Smith / Featureflash The court recently ordered the release of hours of footage, photos, and detailed reports related to their deaths, while blocking any depictions of the couple’s remains to protect the family’s privacy. Hackman’s family had initially sought to keep the documents sealed to avoid public scrutiny. Authorities say more records, including dashboard camera footage and possibly 911 call transcripts, may be released in the coming weeks. For now, the newly uncovered evidence paints a somber picture of a couple quietly confronting health fears, unaware of the severity of what was to come.             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by People Magazine (@people)   Next up: Dolly Parton Set To Release New Book Recounting Her Full Journey As A Performer The post Gene Hackman’s Wife Looked Up Symptoms Of Illness Days Before She Passed Away appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.

The three of them, who once acted out a love triangle on the iconic soap opera, enjoyed themselves, reminisced, and gave each other accolades during the heartwarming meetup. Mathison, who acted as Ryan Lavery, reminisced about the intensity of soap opera viewers, recalling moments when audience members reacted vehemently to his character’s attempt to set Hayley and Mateo at odds. Ripa and Consuelos both acted as the on-screen darling couple, and they also recalled the drama that once captivated viewers.

News The Toxic Avenger The Toxic Avenger Teasers Mop Up the Gore and Inject It Right Into Your Eyeballs He’s got a mop and isn’t afraid to use it By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on April 18, 2025 Screenshot: Troma Entertainment Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Troma Entertainment The Toxic Avenger remake starring Peter Dinklage finally has a release date and two teasers to boot! The clips give us Dinklage as Winston Gooze, both before and after his toxic accident. The first teaser takes place in a fast food joint with questionable things on the menu, when Gooze comes in as Toxie and rips a server’s face off with his iconic green glowing mop. The audience is treated to a full look of the face sans lower jaw before cutting to black, where we hear more juicy maiming. The second clip, which was released today, has Winston in his pre-toxic state. Gooze is sick, and his expensive (toxic) treatment isn’t covered by insurance. And so he goes to his boss, played by Kevin Bacon, who is happy to fire him rather than help. You can guess what happens next. Both clips prove that the movie will be gory, made especially so because Legendary gave them a bit more money to create the Butt Guts Unit. One guess what the focus of that team was. In addition to Dinklage and Bacon, the film stars Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, and Jonny Coyne. It’s directed by Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore). The Toxic Avenger hits theaters on August 29, 2025. Check out the two NSFW teasers below.

In November, Donald Trump overwhelmingly carried the Native American vote. By January, just six days before Trump took office, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau published a regulation that tribal leaders say isn’t legal and would harm the growing financial services industry on Indian lands.  At least four tribes are asking for the rule to be withdrawn, calling it an intrusion on tribal sovereignty and noting that tribes were never consulted. The latter point seemingly conflicted with President Joe Biden’s November 2022 pledge to bolster tribal consultations.  As online lending has grown as a tribal industry, in some cases, tribes have established their own financial regulatory agencies to police the businesses.  On Jan. 13, the CFPB published a proposed rule prohibiting financial institutions from including provisions in contracts in which customers could “waive substantive consumer legal rights” under federal and state laws to sue. Currently, a company and customer can mutually consent to a contract based on the laws of a specific state or country.  As sovereign entities with their own governments, Native American tribes experience unique effects from federal regulations, argued Louis Taylor, chairman of Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Governing Board.  “Therefore, our Tribe is at a loss to understand why no consultation whatsoever took place with tribal governments in relation to the proposed rule,” Taylor wrote to the CFPB. “This is particularly troubling given that the parts of the proposed rule … appear to seek the imposition of state law and the enforcement of state law upon sovereign Indian nations. After hundreds of years of fighting against attempted state government encroachments, our tribe and others simply cannot let such an attack on tribal sovereignty stand.”   The CFPB rule would infringe on the common practice of “choice of law” provision in contracts, which allows parties to contracts to determine what jurisdiction’s law the agreement will be governed by.  This is particularly important for tribal businesses, said Loyola University law professor Adam Crepelle, author of “Becoming Nations Again: The Journey Towards Tribal Self-Determination,” “Tribes rely heavily on economic development because they don’t have a tax base,” Crepelle told The Daily Signal.  While many Americans associate economic development with casinos, increasingly tribes have been expanding into the financial services industry such as online lending, Crepelle said.  About 30 tribes in mostly rural areas engage in online lending, Crepelle said. Online lending businesses have been a key for economic growth, tribal services and tribal development, according to the Native American Financial Services Association.  Moreover, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which created the CFPB, recognizes tribes as states, Crepelle stressed, which makes the lack of consultation even more problematic.  Several tribes weighed in opposing the regulation. Federal regulations are required to be open to public comment.  “Our Tribe was very disappointed to see that the Bureau made no effort to engage with tribal governments regarding this Proposed Rule, particularly given that the Bureau is well aware of its consultation obligations under federal law and policy,” James Williams, the tribal chairman for the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, wrote to the CFPB in a public comment. Williams notes the Lac Vieux Desert tribe launched an online lending business in 2011 as part of its economic development that supports the tribe’s governmental services such as education and social services programs, elder programs, housing, cultural and language programs, Tribal Court, and law enforcement.  “In order to protect funds used by the tribe to support its citizens and its government, the tribal treasury must be protected against legal liability,” Williams continued. Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians Chairman Flaman McCloud, Jr. also raised objections to the CFPB regulation.  “Such action is inconsistent with federal law and policy (including the Bureau’s own tribal consultation policy), which requires that consultation take place before any formal federal action is taken that could impact tribal rights and interests,” Flaman said.  A CFPB spokesperson did not respond to several inquiries from The Daily Signal over the last week. But the bureau’s press release says it is ensuring companies cannot use contracts to opt out of statutes passed by Congress or state legislatures. “To access the American financial system, people should not be forced into forfeiting rights enshrined in law or our Constitution,” then-CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a public statement when the regulation was published. “Companies should not weaponize fine print to deplatform or purge people from the financial system.” Trump ousted Chopra, a Biden appointee, from the director’s position. The White House’s Department of Government Efficiency has targeted CFPB to close down. The agency has faced numerous controversies in recent years, including a major data breach and settling a racial discrimination lawsuit.  Trump named Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as the acting director of the CFPB after ousting Chopra. The Treasury Department did not respond to an inquiry for this story.  However, the proposed regulation hasn’t been removed. Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians Chairman Jon R. Shotton argued the regulation would “unlawfully encroach on tribes’ ability to enact and be governed by their own laws, and it frustrates the federal policy of promoting tribal self-determination.”  “It is a fundamental aspect of tribal sovereignty that tribes have the power to pursue tribal economic development, and current federal policy requires the protection and promotion of tribes’ ability to pursue this self-determination,” Shotton contends in public comment. “This exercise of tribal sovereignty and self-determination necessarily requires contractual freedom, including the right to freely negotiate issues such as choice-of-law, forum selection, and other dispute resolution procedures.”  While she was a Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren, now a Massachusetts senator, was the architect of the CFPB. Interestingly, Warren famously pushed a now discredited story about having Native American heritage.  Spokespersons from Warren’s office did not respond to inquiries from The Daily Signal for this story.  Biden’s pledge for increased consultation focused on climate change but also stressed land use and economic development. Biden made the vow at the 2022 White House Tribal Nations Summit. “Democrats want to talk to American Indians when it fits their policy preference,” said Crepelle of Loyola. An NBC exit poll by Edison Research after the 2024 election said 68% of Native Americans backed Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris. That’s more than 57% of the white population that voted for Trump. While some questioned whether Trump ran that well, since the poll was only of 10 key states, Politico later reported on Trump’s strong showing with native voters.  “In his last administration, seven tribes gained federal recognition,” Crepelle said, “Objectively, Native Americans did well under Trump.” The post CFPB Rule Would ‘Unlawfully Encroach on Tribes,’ Native Americans Leaders Argue  appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Perfect: COVID.gov Now Goes to Page Debunking 'Proximal Origins' Paper, Trashing Fauci

The White House press room was left speechless on Thursday after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt invited Maryland angel mom Patty Morin to speak about her daughter Rachel, who was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant (a story largely ignored by the liberal media until the briefing). But during Friday’s CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish scoffed and chuckled at Morin as she chided the White House for their “use of the victims' families.” Before writing off Morin’s story from discussions of illegal immigration, Cornish did play a soundbite of the grieving mother’s reaction to her Democratic Senator, Chris Van Hollen flying to El Salvador to be with an alleged MS-13 gang member instead of meeting with her: And to have a senator from Maryland who didn't even acknowledge or barely acknowledged my daughter and the brutal death that she endured. [Transition] To fly to El Salvador to bring back someone that's not even an American citizen. Why does that person have more right than I do? Or my daughter? But as she was noting that the cases were not directly related, Cornish couldn’t seem to help herself as she openly scoffed and chuckled. “So, just to be clear, she was not raped or murdered by Kilmar Abrego Garcia. So, two completely different crimes [scoff and chuckle] different times,” she argued. “And Garcia does not actually have a criminal record.”     Looking to former Washington Senate candidate Tiffany Smiley (R), Cornish took issue with Morin’s story even being shared in this moment, suggesting that she was being “use[d]” by the White House. “And also, Tiffany, I want to hear from you about the use of the victims' families in this way, at the forefront. What do you make of having her out there in the response?” she asked. But as Smiley was explaining how this was all about the White House’s response to illegal immigration, Cornish interrupted to question if Morin’s story should be included: SMILEY: Well, I think it's important to hear Patty and Rachel's story. I mean, let's not -- CORNISH: But in this story?! SMILEY: I mean, so -- so, I think this all goes back to the majority of Americans voted for President Trump, because there was an open Southern border where illegals were coming in and making our communities unsafe, killing American citizens with no plan in sight. And no -- no -- you know, people were feeling less and less safe with every waking day. “And President Trump came in on a commitment -- promises made and promises kept -- that he was going to secure the border, deport illegals, deport criminals who do not belong in this country,” Smiley noted. Cornish also took issue with Smiley talking about Garcia’s alleged criminal history, teaming up with former Obama official Nayyera Haq to push back (Click “expand”): SMILEY: So, I think it's just making this stark contrast that, you know, this Maryland man, he is a part of MS-13. There is intelligence reports that show that he was involved in human trafficking. He’s a wife beater. There are records that his wife -- HAQ: None of that has actually been proven or shown in court. And that's part of the problem, is there's no due process. [Crosstalk] CORNISH: I know. I do want -- I'm glad you're introducing this. I also don't want to get sued, so I'll say the government has not released any documented information around intelligence reports, specifically. And right now, the documents they did release this week did not show he had a criminal record. SMILEY: I think it is an interesting -- from a messaging -- CORNISH: Yes, I just want to say, "Fact." “This is the conversation that I hear all the time, right? You're either for criminals, against victims; or you are for this bullying government that is just completely pillaging due process,” Cornish huffed, gesturing to her political guests. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: CNN This Morning April 18, 2025 6:04:43 a.m. Eastern (…) AUDIE CORNISH: I want to play a sound bite, however, from Patty Morin. She's the mother of Rachel Morin, who was -- who was raped and murdered by an undocumented immigrant back in 2023. And here's how she reacted to Hollen's trip. [Cuts to video] PATTY MORIN (mother of Rachel Morin): And to have a senator from Maryland who didn't even acknowledge or barely acknowledged my daughter and the brutal death that she endured. [Transition] To fly to El Salvador to bring back someone that's not even an American citizen. Why does that person have more right than I do? Or my daughter? [Cuts back to live] CORNISH: So, just to be clear, she was not raped or murdered by Kilmar Abrego Garcia. So, two completely different crimes [scoffs and chuckles] different times. And Garcia does not actually have a criminal record. But, Sara, I want to talk to you about messaging. And also, Tiffany, I want to hear from you about the use of the victims' families in this way, at the forefront. What do you make of having her out there in the response? TIFFANY SMILEY (R, Washington Senate candidate): Well, I think it's important to hear Patty and Rachel's story. I mean, let's not -- CORNISH: But in this story?! SMILEY: I mean, so -- so, I think this all goes back to the majority of Americans voted for President Trump, because there was an open Southern border where illegals were coming in and making our communities unsafe, killing American citizens with no plan in sight.

SMILEY: From a messaging standpoint, it's fascinating that Democrats are really going to bat for this illegal immigrant, which we do know he is. And that he -- HAQ (interrupting): He’s here legally. He had legal status here in the United States! SMILEY: This senator is -- HAQ: If we're going to have the messaging conversation, let's at least make sure it’s grounded in the facts of individuals, because this is about people and human lives. CORNISH: All right. Hold on, you guys. Let me bring in Sara for a minute. SMILEY: Can I just say something real quick? CORNISH: Hold on one second. This will be very fast. This is the conversation that I hear all the time, right? You're either for criminals, against victims; or you are for this bullying government that is just completely pillaging due process – (…)

The father of slain high school athlete Austin Metcalf was the victim of a swatting attempt just minutes after he was kicked out of the family news conference for Karmelo Anthony, the accused killer. Frisco police said that they responded to a report of a gunshot at the home of the Metcalf family on Thursday. They found no evidence of a shot being fired at the home and determined that the call was an attempt at "swatting," which is a false call intended to cause harm through a police response. 'The lies and false accusations that have been said about us, especially over the past week, has been overwhelming.' Metcalf was at a track meet on April 2 at the Kuykendall Stadium when he was fatally stabbed, allegedly by Anthony, after a brief interaction, police said. The case has become the focus of a national debate on crime. Jeff Metcalf, the father of the victim, tried to attend the press conference for the Anthony family, but he was spotted by one of the Anthony advocates, who had him escorted out by police. His presence delayed the start of the press conference. A spokesperson for the Anthony family lambasted "conservative operatives" for spreading what he said was "misinformation" about the family and accused the critics of being motivated by "bigotry" and "racism." The suspect's mother, Kayla Hayes, said the family was under intense scrutiny and was suffering from having to deal with criticism stemming from the incident. “Whatever you think what happened between Karmelo and the Metcalf boys, my three younger children, my husband, and I didn’t do anything to deserve to be threatened, harassed, and lied about,” she said at the press conference. “The lies and false accusations that have been said about us, especially over the past week, has been overwhelming. The lies and their amplification put my family in danger," she added. “To the family who experienced the loss, my heart truly goes out to you,” Hayes said. Anthony's father has said that his son was not the aggressor in the incident. Jeff Metcalf previously excoriated the suspect's family for his accused actions. "I'm not trying to judge, but what kind of parents did this child have? What was he taught?" he asked. "He brought a knife to a track meet, and he murdered my son by stabbing him in the heart. The guy was in the wrong place, and they asked him to move, and he bowed up. This is murder."Anthony was released from jail after his bail was lowered from $1 million to $250,000. He is on house arrest awaiting trial. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Rachel Morin was a mother of five, but left behind her children when she was raped and killed by an undocumented migrant from El Salvador. She was found near the MA & PA Trail in Harford County on August 6, 2023. Victor Martinez-Hernandez was found guilty of her murder on April 14 and had fled to the United States illegally after an arrest warrant was issued in El Salvador. Patty Morin, the victim’s mother, took the stage as a special guest at a White House press briefing where Karoline Leavitt began by highlighting crimes committed by another illegal immigrant, Kilmar Garcia. Not just an illegal immigrant but an MS-13 gang associate accused of violent crimes against his own wife, Garcia was deported by the Trump administration — while the Democrats have been fighting for his return. But Morin is well aware of the danger these illegal immigrants pose to American citizens, and she bravely recounted the story of her own daughter's death to drive her point home. “He attacked her. He dragged her 150 feet, blood gushing from her head. It left a 150-foot trail of her blood,” Morin said at the press conference. “He picked her up, he threw her against the wall of the tunnel, and he raped her. But before he did that, he stopped on that trail, and rocks still stained with her blood, he used them to hammer her head against those rocks.” “She was so stoic,” Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.” “It was incredibly brave, and she answered on the way out the door the question that I was intending to ask.” “She felt betrayed by those people, those politicians, who just don’t seem to give a damn in Maryland and in Washington and all around the country,” Bedford says. “When she left, the press room was silent. There wasn’t the usual hubbub, there wasn’t the yelling of questions.” “There was just silence, and that alone was witness to the testimony that she gave,” he adds.
