CDC: More Than 100 Vaping Youth Have Contracted Severe Lung Diseases

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is reportedly investigation 153 possible cases of lung disease that may be associated with e-cigarettes and vaping. The sudden lung problems are primarily occuring amongst adolescents and young adults.

The Verge reports that the CDC is now investigating 153 cases of mysterious lung disease in young people that could be linked to e-cigarette use. The agency is investigating the diseases alongside 16 states where the incidents were reported between June 28 and August 20.

Those suffering from the illness stated that it started gradually, displaying symptoms including difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Some also suffered from gastrointestinal illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, and severe fatigue. No one has died as a result of the unnamed illness but is being taken very seriously.

The CDC and a number of states that have been impacted by the illness have yet to identify a cause but in all of the reported cases, the affected individuals had used vapes. In many of these cases, the individuals had recently used tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing products. THC is the psychoactive chemical in marijuana which is often vaped.

The CDC has stated that this is not an infectious disease, but is working to verify cases and fully determine the cause of the illness. The agency is requesting that doctors report any suspected cases to their state health office including details of patient symptoms and any information about the use of e-cigarette products and if the symptoms began following the use of vaping devices.

The FDA is also investigating faulty e-cigarettes and is requesting that members of the public report any “adverse experiences” to them via the Internet here.  Most of the cases involving sudden lung issues are reportedly happening with adolescents and young adults, late last year the US Surgeon General declared youth vaping an epidemic. Recent studies found that more than 27 percent of high schoolers use vapes or e-cigarettes on a regular basis.

Immigration Crimes Account for 95% of Increased Federal Arrests over Last 20 Years

Media Matters for America will hate this headline. They’ve actually already fact-checked another outlet that talked about this same topic. But that liberal “watchdog” organization can grouse all they want if they don’t like the facts. As John Adams once said, “Facts are stubborn things.” The establishment media’s chief narrative on illegal immigration is that…

Official Deficit Numbers Prove Trump’s Beating Obama Yet Again

President Donald Trump is faring significantly better on the deficit front than his predecessor Barack Obama did by at least one important measure. As background, when Obama took office in January 2009, the national debt stood at $10.6 trillion. When he left office in January 2017, it had nearly doubled to just shy of $20…

Austria to Import Children of Dead Islamic State Jihadist

BERLIN (AP) – Austria is preparing to repatriate two sons of an Austrian Islamic State group supporter believed to have died in Syria after she headed there in 2014.

Foreign ministry spokesman Peter Guschelbauer told public broadcaster ORF’s Oe1 radio Saturday that “there is a positive DNA test and so the children are clearly identified.” He said there has also been an Austrian court decision on custody “and so the conditions for repatriation are fulfilled.”

ORF reported that a court last week awarded custody to the grandparents of the boys, who are 1 ½ and 3. It said they have been at the al-Hol camp in Syria, controlled by Kurdish forces, for the past few months.

Four German children fathered by IS militants were handed over to Germany by Syria’s Kurdish-led administration Monday.

Actor Refuses to Do Nudity: ‘I Had to Choose Career or Christ’

Christian Hollywood actor, Cameron Arnett, starring in the movie Overcomer, says he “lost everything” years ago for refusing to do a nude scene until he restarted his acting career in faith-based films.

“Hollywood told me that in order for you to be an actor, you have to do partial body nudity, and I had to choose career or Christ,” said 58-year-old Arnett in a Facebook Live interview with Miami pastor, Diego Calderon.

“I chose Christ, but when I did, I lost everything,” the Haitian-born actor said.

Arnett, who acted in productions like Meet the Browns (2009), Stand Your Ground (2013), and Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), eventually was asked to do partial nudity in a film role, which he refused, even when they offered to use a body double.

“All hell broke loose. I lost everything,” Arnett said. “Agents left. Everybody left. Friends left. I was left behind by the world and by everything that I had.”

Eventually, with his wife’s encouragement, Arnett returned to acting, but now only works on films that embody his faith and principles.

Since entering full time in Christian media, Arnett — who describes himself as an “apostle, prophet, and teacher” — says that he has found harmony between who he is and what he does.

“I have the ability to be myself everywhere and not compromise my standards,” he said.

“I am a Christian first,” Arnett insists. “I’m not an actor. I’m not a pastor. I am a son of God and I am a servant of God. That is my claim to fame.”

“There is who you are and what you do. What you do should come out of who you are,” he said.

In Overcomer, which opened in theaters Friday, Arnett plays the role of Thomas Hill, a blind Christian who helps a cross country coach find his identity in Christ.

“If you are a Christian you are a minister, you are a full-time minister,” he said. “You may not be in the pulpit, but you are called to be a leader in the church and in the world.”

Remember the Time Liar Brian Williams Smeared the Tea Party?

For someone who was ultimately exposed as a liar, Brian Williams had no problems smearing conservatives as ignorant and gullible. Nine years ago this week, the now-disgraced NBC Nightly News anchor appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman to bash Tea Party conservatives. Teed up by Letterman as to why the Tea Party wants their “country back,” a smug Williams mocked, “It makes people feel better to say ‘Take our country back.’ If you ask them, they would say from, ‘from the Trilateral Commission, from the big bankers, from the Council on Foreign…

Liberal Bubble on NPR: NY Times Team LOL at View They Help Dems with Slavery Project

On Thursday’s edition of the NPR morning talk show 1A, host Joshua Johnson devoted the first hour to promoting the "1619 Project" at The New York Times, which seeks to "reframe" American history as dominated to this very day by slavery. In a town hall meeting transcript that leaked, Times executive editor Dean Baquet explicitly announced  that the project was meant to help the public understand why we narrowly elected Donald Trump in 2016. When Johnson made time for an opposing view, he quoted a note from "Charlie," and the assembled Times team burst out…
