Tori Spelling Hospitalized
August 20, 2023
Tori Spelling is back in the hospital this weekend, but it's not clear why. The reality star shared a photo of her wrist with an IV and a hospital bracelet dated Aug. 17 on her Instagram Story. She noted that while she is in the hospital, she is mostly thinking about her children.
"4th day here and I'm missing my kiddos so much," Spelling wrote. "Grateful and so proud of my strong, brave, resilient and kind to the core children who remain positive no matter what comes our way." The 50-year-old has five children - 16-year-old Liam, 15-year-old Stella, 11-year-old Hattie, 10-year-old Finn and 6-year-old Beau - all shared with her husband Dean McDermott. McDermott has not mentioned his wife's hospitalization on social media this weekend.
Spelling was hospitalized back in December with some kind of respiratory issue that had fans on social media concerned. At the time, she wrote: "Here I am in [the] hospital since late last night. To all of you who gas lit me when you were told I [was] too sick to work, well here I am... How about next time [you] take someone at face value and show kindness instead of doubtfulness."
Since then, Spelling has not given consistent updates on her health so it's not clear how that issue was resolved or if it might be related to this weekend's treatment….

Chris Evans reveals he’s been diagnosed with skin cancer: ‘It’s been caught early’
August 21, 2023
Radio presenter Chris Evans has announced live on air that he has been diagnosed with skin cancer.
Evans, 57, revealed on his Virgin Radio show on Monday morning (21 August) that his doctors broke the news to him just recently.
However, he reassured listeners that the disease was discovered in its early stages and he is hopeful he will have a full recovery after he undergoes treatment next month.
Evans said on his breakfast show: “We need to discuss what’s going on with this issue. It is a melanoma.
“There’s this phrase called a malignant melanoma – you know once you get something and you find out all about it – that is a redundant phrase because if it is a melanoma, it is malignant.”
He added: “But it’s been caught so early, just so you know, that it should be completely treatable.”

NEW ZEALAND
Deaths up 14%, Natural Birth Increase Down 28%, Disability is up 37.5%
August 16, 2023
Auckland - Stats New Zealand released the official figures for births and deaths for the period 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2023 today. The short summary accompanying the release of the horrifying figures compares these to the previous 12 months and reports increases in deaths and reductions in live births. 2022/23 figures would have best been compared to the July 2018 to June 2019 totals, the first available pre-pandemic period. We report this comparison below. There were 38,442 deaths among all ages for July 2022-June 2023 compared to 33,753 deaths in the 2018/19 comparable period. This is an increase of 4,689 deaths (up 14%) which occurred at a rate of 90 excess deaths per week. Working age people were also affected. Deaths among 15 to 64 year olds were up by 6%. Figures released by the Household Labour Force Survey reports rates of disability sufficient to preclude joining the workforce among this age group has increased by 37.5% over the same period and now stands at 14.3% of the workforce. That is huge. Why? Alarmingly, natural live birth increase (births minus deaths) fell from 26,500 in 2018/19 to 19,185 in 2022/23 a decrease of 7,400 or 28%. This is an absolutely unprecedented drop. Nothing even remotely like this has been recorded previously.
We need to start thinking and planning, as an entire society, what this massive kill off and maiming of our population is going to mean to our civilization. Our world is going to be hugely impacted by the loss of a substantial amount of our populations and it will change everything! Somebody besides the eugenicist wackos at the WEF and the WHO better start thinking this through and quick!
That Yahoo Sports article about the “competitive advantage” of getting jabbed is so repulsive.
