Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was rushed to a hospital last month after a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, CNN reported.

Alito, who just turned 76, was treated for dehydration after he fell ill (food poisoning?).

Details about the medical emergency were not disclosed.

In the two weeks since the medical incident, Samuel Alito has been on the bench and has attended oral arguments.

“Out of an abundance of caution, he agreed with his security detail’s recommendation to see a physician before the three-hour drive home,” the Supreme Court said in a statement, The Hill reported.

“After that examination and the administration of fluids for dehydration, he returned home that night, as previously planned,” the high court said.

CNN reported:

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was taken to a hospital after becoming ill last month at a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, according to people with knowledge of the March 20 incident.

The justice was evaluated and administered fluids for dehydration. He returned to his home in Virginia that night with his security team.

Alito and Supreme Court public information officials declined to comment for the record about the episode, which has not been previously reported.

In the two weeks since the incident, Alito has attended oral arguments and appeared healthy during the usual give-and-take with lawyers at the lectern.

Alito, who turned 76 on Wednesday and has served as a justice for 20 years, has become the subject of widespread speculation from commentators across the ideological spectrum and the news media over whether he might retire. (He has refused to answer journalists’ questions on the subject.)

Fox News also confirmed the Alito report.

Fox News reported:

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was treated for dehydration at a hospital after a previously undisclosed March 20 incident in Philadelphia, sources told Fox News.

He was not admitted and returned home the same night without complications.

Alito, 76, attended a Federalist Society dinner that evening and reported feeling lightheaded, prompting his security detail to recommend a precautionary hospital visit. Sources said the justice has had no issues since.

Iranians Have an Obscene Nickname for British PM Starmer: REPORT

Starmer’s Iranian nickname makes a lot of sense in English, too

Is Starmer really a ‘kir’?

Failing British Prime Minister probably has been called worse, but Persian speakers around the world have a new, choice nickname for him.

In Iran and among the diaspora, Starmer is unable to avoid a rather unfortunate nickname.

The Telegraph reported:

“To millions of Persian speakers, his first name sounds remarkably similar to a vulgar term for a penis. The word کیر – transliterated as “kir” – is one of the language’s most commonly used obscenities.

The linguistic similarity, long noted by Iranian diaspora communities, has sparked a wave of mockery on social media since the outbreak of the Iran war.”

Starmer’s passivity during the Iran military clashes let Iranian diaspora users fuming.

“’From his name, you can tell what kind of man he is’, one user wrote on X. While the joke predates the Iran war, the volume increased in the past month, and peaked this week when Sir Keir declared that Britain would not take part in any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Prime Minister’s widely shared statement prompted an immediate eruption of jokes online, with many Persian speakers referring to him as ‘Kir Starmer’.”

Tulsi Issues Criminal Referral For Eric Ciaramella, the ‘Whistleblower’ Who Sparked Trump Ukraine Impeachment, and Former Intel Community IG

DNI Tulsi Gabbard has criminally referred Ukraine impeachment ‘whistleblower’ Eric Ciaramella and former intelligence community IG, Michael Atkinson to the Justice Department.

Fox News reported:

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department for the whistleblower whose complaint helped trigger President Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment and for the former intelligence community inspector general who notified Congress of the allegations, Fox News Digital has learned.

“I want to refer information that may constitute possible criminal activity in violation of federal criminal law committed by one or more former employees of the intelligence community,” ODNI’s general counsel wrote in the referral to the Justice Department.

Fox News Digital on Wednesday reviewed the referrals ODNI sent to the Justice Department.

“The possible criminal activity concerns the circumstances described in the following congressional briefings: Discussion with Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019); Briefing by the Intelligence Community Inspector General, House Permanent Select Comm. on Intel., 116th Cong. (2019),” it continued.

Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified a top secret document related to Trump’s first impeachment that then-House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff locked away in a SCIF [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] for years.

The House Intelligence Committee voted on Tuesday to release transcripts from 2019 hearings with the former Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson.

CIA snitch Eric Ciaramella filed a whistleblower complaint in August 2019 over a July 25 phone call President Trump had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alleging Trump engaged in quid pro quo and pressured Zelensky to investigate the Biden crime family.

Changes were made to the whistleblower form to include watercooler talk, gossip and second-hand information and ICIG Michael Atkinson defended the changes.

Atkinson admitted in a previous statement that the agency changed its own whistleblower rules *because of the anti-Trump complaint* from CIA snitch Eric Ciaramella.

Although, the form should not have been accepted based on second-hand information and because it was about the President of the United States (who is not in the IC), Atkinson accepted the complaint.

The whistleblower later attempted to edit the form he originally provided.

The original form stated that the whistleblower did not talk to Congress before filing the form but after it was discovered that he had met with Adam Schiff’s team in Congress, the whistleblower attempted to edit his form.

Then-House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff lied when he stated publicly, “we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower.”

Lifelong Catholic Tom Homan Pushes Back Against Pope with Realities of Immigration (Video)

Published

By

President Trump and Pope Leo XIV have been trading barbs about the Pontiff weighing in on American politics.

Trump recently blasted the Pope as “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.”

In addition to slamming U.S. involvement in Iran,  the Pope has repeatedly slammed the Trump administration’s stance against illegal immigration.

Border Czar, a lifelong Catholic, speaking outside the White House, told reporters the Vatican doesn’t know what they are talking about.

“I’m not going to speak for the President, I’m speaking for myself, a lifelong Catholic,” Holman told reporters. “I wish they’d stay out of immigration. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”

“Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor-trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!”

“And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don’t understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.”

“Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He’s saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border.”

“Human traffickers are out of business, right?”

“The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border.”

“I wish they’d understand that.”

“Because if they did, I think they’d have a different opinion.”
