Conspiracy theorist ex-nurse campaigning to free baby killer Lucy Letby
Kate Shemirani, who was last week slammed by her children Gabriel and Sebastian who say she convinced their sick sister to refuse chemo, thinks the former neonatal nurse is innocent A shamed anti-vaxxer former nurse, who was accused by her sons of causing her daughter's cancer death is campaigning to free Lucy Letby. Kate Shemirani was last week slammed by her children Gabriel and Sebastian who say she convinced their sick sister, Paloma, to refuse chemotherapy. The brothers told how medics gave Paloma, 23, a high chance of surviving her cancer diagnosis with treatment but their mum made her opt for alternative therapies. We can now reveal Shemirani, 60, regularly airs her views on controversial podcast The Sons of Liberty, saying fellow ex-NHS nurse Letby was 'railroaded' and is 'a poor woman'. In an episode titled No Nurse In The UK Or US Is Safe Anymore After Lucy Letby, she says: 'What we have seen is a Christian, single woman tried by the press. It is horrific to watch. "All of the agencies that you think are there to protect you are there to harm you and to make you sick. Everything is an inversion – the devil comes to lie, cheat, steal and kill.' Shemirani also hosted leading Letby cam-paigner Professor Richard Gill on her TNT radio show. It comes a week after prosecutors said they were considering more charges against Letby. The former neo-natal nurse is serving a whole life term after being convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Shemirani found fame in the pandemic for touting conspiracy theories on social media. She was struck off the nursing register in 2021 after claiming Covid was a hoax and vaccines were a conspiracy to kill people. Shemirani, who calls herself the Natural Nurse, told her daughter to refuse chemo when she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Doctors told Paloma, a Cambridge graduate, she had an 80% chance of recovery with chemo but she died last year. Her brother Sebastian said she had 'passed away as a direct consequence of my mum's actions and beliefs and I don't want anyone else to go through the same pain or loss that I have'. Shemirani, who we approached for comment, blames 'medical interventions given without confirmed diagnosis or lawful consent' for her death. Letby, 35, is seeking to overturn her convictions at the Criminal Cases Review Commission, having lost two challenges at the Court of Appeal. Her case was boosted in February when an international panel of 14 medical experts who reviewed the case said there was no evidence of crime. But the Crown Prosecution Service says it has received intelligence from police investigating other incidents. It follows the arrest of three former Chester hospital bosses on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.

Bad Bunny Slams Donald Trump's Immigration Policies In NUEVAYoL Video
One of the shots from the video shows Bad Bunny saluting from the crown of the Statue of Liberty, which was draped in a Puerto Rican flag. Bad Bunny has made headlines after he dropped a music video for his single NUEVAYoL on July 4. Since its release, the music video has become the talk of the town for criticising US President Donald Trump and his immigration policies. The video further featured a cameo from a voice that sounds like Trump, asking for forgiveness. The song is a part of the Puerto Rican singer's latest album, Debi Tirar Mas Fotos. Directed by Renell Medrano, the retro-style video began with Bad Bunny attending a classic quinceañera, complete with a nervous teenage honoree, dancing chamberlains, and a host of family members. As the music video continued to play, fans began to see a few sharp political messages. One of the shots from the video shows Bad Bunny saluting from the crown of the Statue of Liberty, which was draped in a Puerto Rican flag. This shot was followed by a group of men sitting around a 1970s-style radio listening to a voice that resonated with President Trump, only the words were nothing like his usual speeches. 'I made a mistake," the voice began. 'I want to apologise to the immigrants in America. I mean the United States. I know America is the whole continent." The voice further went on to accept that the United States is nothing without its immigrants. 'I want to say that the country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, and Cubans," the voice continued before a man shut it down. The video ends with images of the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York, some in black and white, keeping with the retro feel. Before ending, the video shows a simple message that says, 'Juntos somos más fuertes," which means 'Together we are stronger." Bad Bunny dropped the music video after a week of the US administration's continued escalation of anti-immigration policies. In recent years, Bad Bunny has been using his platform to send more and more powerful political messages. Previously, when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage during a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, Bad Bunny released an eight-minute video titled Garbage and celebrated his homeland.

Elon Musk meltdown? Billionaire goes ballistic at Grok, the chatbot he created, fuels speculation about internal chaos at X and xAI
It's not common to catch someone publicly slamming their own invention, but when you're Elon Musk, even your AI may not be off-limits to criticism. The billionaire, over the weekend, seemed to lose patience with Grok — the AI chatbot his own company, xAI, after it fact-checked a conspiracy-leaning message and referred to legacy media sources as credible, according to a report. The Post That Sparked the Fire This happened when a user on social media platform X @amuse posted an "article" claiming that billionaires such as George Soros, Bill Gates, and the Ford Foundation were using their fortunes to "hijack federal grants" by "seeding" nongovernmental organizations with left-wing ideology, reported Futurism. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo These claims were based on speculation and lacked any foundation, filled with buzzwords like "DEI" and missing any real evidence or balanced opinion, according to the report. ALSO READ: If you had put $10K into Berkshire Hathaway when Warren Buffett took over, you'd be sitting on a mind-blowing fortune today; here's the jaw-dropping return you missed out on Live Events Grok Pushes Back Then an X user asked Grok to analyze the post, following which the AI rejected the article's key point and argued that there was "no evidence" that Soros, Gates, and the Ford Foundation "hijack federal grants or engage in illegal influence peddling," quoted Futurism. After that, the X user asked Grok to explain what "verified" sources it had used to give the argument, to which Grok responded by saying that it used "foundation websites and reputable news outlets," naming The Atlantic and the BBC, which it said are "credible" and "backed by independent audits and editorial standards," reported Futurism. Grok wrote, "No evidence shows the Gates, Soros, or Ford Foundations hijacking grants; they operate legally with private funds," adding, "However, their support for progressive causes raises transparency concerns, fueling debate. Critics question their influence, while supporters highlight societal benefits. Verification comes from audits and public records, but skepticism persists in polarized discussions," as quoted in the report.

Virginia school puts up controversial ABCs display on Women's History Month, starting with 'A is for Abortion'
A public high school in Fairfax County, Virginia, decorated its history hallway with a polarizing alphabetic display for Women's History Month, beginning with "A is for Abortion." West Springfield High School lined the hallway with a display for each letter of the alphabet, representing what school officials believe are important aspects of women's history. The school told Fox News' Laura Ingraham that "The ABCs to ME" display "is a student-led history project that is part of an elective Women's History class." The "A is for Abortion" section of the display featured an image of a coat hanger and a positive pregnancy test, as well as a description of the project, which was first reported by The Daily Signal. According to the project description, the display is for Women's History Month, and the Women's History class is "celebrating and bringing awareness to what it means to be a young woman today at West Springfield High School and in the world." "A" wasn't the only letter that turned heads, with former Vice President Kamala Harris being the focal point of the "H is for Hope" display. For the "J is for Justice" display, students were shown an image of the Statue of Liberty holding a female sign instead of a torch, surrounded by transgender, Ukrainian and Palestinian flags. Prominent female Democratic Party members such as Kamala Harris, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Michelle Obama were featured in the "L is for Leadership" section of the alphabetic display. The "ABCs to ME" display also had a spot reserved for men, seemingly criticizing them with "M is for Mansplain," a reference to the derogatory term for a man explaining something to a woman in a condescending manner. "N is for NOW" highlights the progressive women's advocacy group, the National Organization for Women (NOW). In a May 2022 blog post on its website, NOW railed against the decisions made by several states to ban biological males from competing against females in sports. The post asserted that it is "simply dehumanizing and sexist to assume that because a person is AMAB* [assigned male at birth] they must have some sort of athletic advantage over cisgender women." Two letters of the alphabet were dedicated to the LGBTQ community. "Q is for Queer" and "T is for Trans Women" were shown in the display, with a transgender flag inside the circle of the female symbol being the image featured for "T." The mother of a male student attending West Springfield High School, Stephanie Lundquist-Arora, spoke with "The Ingraham Angle" on March 18, sharing a story of one of the students at the high school who allegedly ripped down the "A is for Abortion" display. "I just found out, a mom called me, and she told me that her son had actually ripped down the 'A is for Abortion' sign. He was upset, and he was brought into the principal's office, and they counseled him, and they said, 'Well, you had such a visceral reaction to this,' and I think that's just absurd. I mean, how could you not have an emotive reaction to this, even if the adults do? So I'm proud of the students who are stepping up and saying, 'This isn't right. This isn't the kind of school we want to be in. This is indoctrination, it's not education,'" Lundquist-Arora alleged. An email exchange between the Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), Dr. Michelle Reid, and Lundquist-Arora, was provided to Fox News Digital by the concerned parent. Lundquist-Arora, a chapter leader for the conservative Independent Women's Network, asked Reid via email why the "obscene display" continued hanging in the school's history hallway, despite the fact that it seems to violate the district's own "controversial issues policy." The concerned mother also highlighted President Donald Trump's Executive Order, "Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling," which she felt was violated by the school's "ABCs to ME" display. Trump's aforementioned executive order seeks to remove federal funding for schools that teach Critical Race Theory (CRT). When faced with these concerns, the superintendent made no concessions regarding the appropriateness of the display, and supported the school's decision to keep the display up. "Often, women's history is excluded from traditional history texts and instruction. I respect the right of our students to respectfully share their honest, comprehensive historical perspective that is relevant to them as young adults and in keeping with the assignment guidance and expectations. This is critical thinking -- an integral part of our educational experience for our soon-to-be graduating high school students," Dr. Reid asserted in her email. The response continued, "Finally, let me be clear that our schools will remain focused on achieving a world class education for each and every student in a safe environment that values critical thinking, problem solving and creative thought provoking work. I see this student display as an example of student work that explores ideas and perspectives in a thoughtful manner and trust that this matter has been appropriately handled by school based staff – who have my full confidence." When asked for comment by Fox News Digital, Lundquist-Arora responded, "The ABCs to Me display is what happens at the intersection of politicized teaching and biased district leadership. The teacher and administrators are using students to amplify their own divisive political messages, while silencing other students' voices. Such viewpoint discrimination is unprofessional, immoral, and violates students' civil rights and their parents' rights to direct their children's upbringing and education." Fox News Digital reached out to Fairfax County Public Schools for comment and was directed to a statement previously provided to Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle."
