Killer Nurse Finally Brought to Justice (Video)

A shocking case has emerged in Pennsylvania, where a nurse is accused of intentionally administering lethal doses of insulin to two patients at a skilled nursing facility. Heather Irene Pressdee, 40, has been arrested and charged with homicide, attempted murder, aggravated assault, neglect, and reckless endangerment.

The alleged incidents occurred while Pressdee was employed at Quality Life Services in Chicora. The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General has launched an investigation into the matter, uncovering a disturbing pattern of behavior and raising concerns about patient safety and the abuse of power within healthcare settings.

Uncovering the Disturbing Allegations:

The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General revealed that Pressdee is accused of providing “overdoses of insulin” to the patients under her care. The incidents occurred between May 23, 2022, and November 28, 2022, while Pressdee was employed at Quality Life Services.

Tragically, two patients, aged 55 and 83, lost their lives on December 4 and December 25, respectively. The office also reported that a third patient, a 73-year-old man, received an excessive amount of insulin on August 31, 2022, but survived due to immediate emergency intervention.

A Caregiver’s Betrayal:

Attorney General Michelle Henry expressed deep concern over the deliberate actions of a healthcare professional entrusted with the care of vulnerable patients. Pressdee, who was responsible for their well-being, allegedly injected the patients with lethal doses of insulin in an intentional and malicious manner.

The charges brought against Pressdee highlight the gravity of her alleged actions, revealing a betrayal of trust and a callous disregard for the lives of those under her care.

Investigation and Tragic Details:

Authorities initiated an investigation after a complaint from a victim’s relative raised concerns about the improper administration of insulin by the nurse. The criminal complaint states that all three victims experienced dangerously low blood sugar immediately after shifts in which Pressdee cared for them.

The complaint also highlights disturbing details, such as Pressdee allegedly remarking that one patient would be “better off dead.” Another patient, who was nonverbal, was taken to the hospital twice for critically low blood sugar before ultimately passing away.

The Alarming Pattern of Misconduct:

According to the criminal complaint, Pressdee has a history of disciplinary actions related to abusive behavior toward patients and/or staff at multiple facilities. The document reveals that she either resigned or was terminated from these positions.

The alleged pattern of misconduct raises questions about the effectiveness of oversight and reporting mechanisms within the healthcare system and underscores the need for enhanced safeguards to protect vulnerable patients.

Seeking Justice and Accountability:

The arrest of Heather Irene Pressdee marks an important step in the pursuit of justice for the victims and their families. However, this case also highlights the urgent need for improved protocols and monitoring systems within healthcare facilities to prevent such tragic incidents from occurring in the first place.

The investigation by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General must be thorough and transparent to provide answers to the grieving families and to restore trust in the healthcare system.

Ivanka Trump Posts Mother’s Day Tribute as Donald Leaves Family Out

The Daily Beast -Ivanka Trump posted a slideshow of throwback pictures in a Mother’s Day post largely remembering her late mom, Ivana Trump.

The 41-year-old paid tribute to the socialite and first wife of the former president, writing: “On the first Mother’s Day following my mother’s passing, I hold space for the beautiful memories of my mom while cherishing the privilege of being a mother to my three amazing kids: Arabella, Joseph, and Theodore.”

Followed was a gallery of images featuring Ivanka and her mom and a few extra of her own children. “Sending so much love to all you superhuman mamas out there,” she added. “Happy Mother’s Day!”

Ivana died at her home in New York City in July 2022 at 73. Patriarch Donald, however, seems to have been lacking in Mother’s Day spirit.

While posting “Happy Mother’s Day to ALL” on Truth Social, he did not focus on his own family, instead using the opportunity to send wishes to, “in particular the Mothers, Wives and Lovers of the Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, and Communists who are doing everything within their power to destroy and obliterate our once great Country. Please make these complete Lunatics and Maniacs Kinder, Gentler, Softer and, most importantly, Smarter, so that we can, quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

NASA Scientist’s Home Raided in Missing Student Case (VIDEO)

Newsweek – A NASA scientist’s home has been searched by the FBI in relation to a missing-person case from the 1990s, with nearly a dozen bags of evidence removed from the house.

The house in Redwood City, California, belongs to Thomas Pressburger, who is a computer scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center.

“Basically, we took a look back into the case and opened up the cold-case investigation and that’s why we’re out here today,” Lt. Peter Lotti, a spokesperson for the Belmont Police Department, said in a video posted by local broadcaster KTVU. “And really our ultimate goal is to bring closure to the case.”

The search was carried out on Wednesday at the house and in a nearby park, reopening the cold case of the disappearance of Ylva Hagner, who went missing in October 1996, then aged 42.

Hagner, a Swedish national, worked at a software company and attended the Stanford Continuing Studies program. She was last seen at work in Belmont—5 miles north of Redwood City—on October 14, 1996.

Her car was found in San Carlos four days later with the keys in the ignition, but she could not be located, and her disappearance was considered suspicious. San Carlos is situated between Belmont and Redwood City.

“We have nothing to show that she was kidnapped, we can’t find any signs of a struggle or anything like that, so all we can say at this point is it’s a disappearance under extremely suspicious circumstances,” said Belmont Police Department Commander Larry Riche in 1996.

Now, however, Belmont police, the FBI, and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s office have all been involved in the search of Pressburger’s house.

According to a report in the Chronicle Peninsula Bureau at the time, Pressburger was Hagner’s boyfriend during that period, and had been questioned by police during the initial investigation.

ABC7 reported that the police were specifically interested in a brick patio in the backyard of the home, initially removing bricks and scanning the ground. Police then brought in excavation equipment and dug up that section of the yard.

“Hopefully they find something and figure it out,” Annie Norgaard, a neighbor, told ABC7. “The Nextdoor app was buzzing all day. It is usually quiet here but of course we saw all the police and helicopters here today.”

Belmont police told ABC7 that the search of the property was now complete, and that they were planning to release new information in the coming days.

Murdaugh Comes Clean About Housekeeper’s Fatal Fall VIDEO

Former South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh, who is currently serving a life sentence for killing his wife and son, has admitted to fabricating the story that his housekeeper fell and died because of his dogs.

The incident happened in February 2018 at the Murdaugh family’s hunting property called Moselle.

Gloria Satterfield, the Murdaugh family’s housekeeper, was initially believed to have died from a “trip and fall” accident. At the time, Murdaugh claimed that one of his dogs caused her to fall and hit her head.

However, it has been revealed that this story was entirely made up. According to court documents filed on Monday, Murdaugh admitted that “no dogs were involved in the fall of Gloria Satterfield on February 2, 2018”.

Murdaugh further revealed that he made up the story to force his insurers to make a settlement payment. He also claimed that Satterfield was not on the property to perform work. The court documents were filed as part of a lawsuit against Murdaugh by an insurance company accusing him of committing insurance fraud in connection to Satterfield’s fall.

Aside from insurance fraud, Murdaugh has also been accused of stealing settlement money from Satterfield’s children and keeping it for himself. His admission that the dog story was made up raises further questions about the case and could potentially lead to more charges against him.

This is not the first time that Murdaugh has been accused of criminal activity. In September 2021, he was charged with insurance fraud and conspiracy to commit insurance fraud in relation to the death of his wife and son. He allegedly arranged for a former client to shoot him so that his surviving son could receive a $10 million life insurance payout.

Following the shooting, Murdaugh resigned from his law firm and checked into rehab. However, his life began to unravel when he was accused of embezzling millions of dollars from his law firm. The investigation into Murdaugh’s various crimes has been ongoing, and his admission that he made up the story about Satterfield’s fall is likely to add another layer to the already complex case.

It remains to be seen what the consequences of Murdaugh’s admission will be and if it will lead to further charges against him.

VP Kamala Harris Holds Back Tears During Visit to African Slave Fort

Vice President Kamala Harris became visibly emotional Tuesday during a visit to a colonial-era African slave fort, lamenting the fate of millions of captives who passed through a “door of no return” to be carried away on ships and sold in the Americas.

“The horror of what happened here must always be remembered,” Harris told reporters in off-the-cuff remarks at the Cape Coast Castle in Ghana. “It cannot be denied. It must be taught. History must be learned.”

Harris, the first vice president of African ancestry, threw out her prepared remarks after touring the site alongside her husband, Doug Emhoff.

The 58-year-old said her visit was “immensely powerful and moving” and called the fortress a “place of horror.”

“There are dungeons here where human beings were kept — men, women and children,” the veep said.

“The horror of what happened here must always be remembered,” Harris said in her speech at a former slave fortress in Ghana.

“They were kidnapped from their homes. They were transported hundreds of miles from their homes, not really sure where they were headed. And they came to this place of horror — some to die, many to starve and be tortured, women to be raped — before they were then forcibly taken on a journey thousands of miles from their home to be sold by so-called merchants and taken to the Americas, to the Caribbean to be an enslaved people.

“And yet, they survived,” she added, her voice cracking with emotion.

“And they tell another history — a history of endurance, a history of faith, a history in believing what is possible, a history not only that tells about the ability that each individual has to survive, but to thrive.”

“All of us, regardless of our background, have benefited from their fight for freedom and justice,” Harris concluded her remarks.

Audience members await remarks by Vice President Kamala Harris in Independence Square in Accra, Ghana.
Harris spoke to thousands near Black Star Gate in Accra about the “special significance” of her African trip.

Earlier Tuesday, during a speech in Accra’s Independence Square, Harris said the African trip carried “special significance.”

“Because of this history, this continent of course has a special significance for me personally, as the first black vice president of the United States,” she told a supportive crowd of thousands. “And this is a history, like many of us, that I learned as a young child.”

Harris also pledged a new era of partnership with Africa, envisioning “a future that is propelled by African innovation.”

The vice president is touring Africa this week to strengthen US ties to Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia — three nations also being courted by China as part of its Belt and Road Initiative.

Harris has yet to mention efforts by China or Russia to spread their influence in West Africa, but did announce $100 million in US aid to the region, some of which will have to be approved by Congress amid ongoing negotiations with the White House to increase Washington’s debt limit.

“What an honor it is to be here in Ghana and on the continent of Africa,” she said on Monday. “I’m very excited about the future of Africa.”

Cape Coast Castle is one of dozens of fortresses in West Africa that held slaves, many of them in Ghana.

The government here has viewed preserving them as part of its historical responsibility.

On their tour of the fortresses, Harris and Emhoff walked past a plaque commemorating a visit by President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama — the nation’s first black president and first lady.

At one point, Harris made her way down a darkened path leading through the infamous “door of no return,” through which slaves left the coast and never came back.

The vice president, her hand on her mouth, placed a white bouquet of flowers given to her during the arrival ceremony, at the entrance to a women’s dungeon nearby.

The Africa junket has also had its fair share of head-scratching remarks from the vice president, who tends to utter circular, off-the-cuff comments.

“There are a number of things on the issue of the economy as a whole that we must do … and a lot of that work is the work that I am here to do on the continent,” she said during a news conference with Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo.

“As you have mentioned, we have had today, this afternoon, a wide-ranging discussion,” Harris also said. “We have discussed a number of important topics, including the importance of concepts and priorities such as freedom and liberty.”

Chocolate Factory Death Toll Rises

Tragedy struck R.M. Palmer Co in West Reading, Pennsylvania, on Friday as an explosion at the chocolate factory caused the deaths of seven people.

The number of casualties steadily increased over the weekend as rescue teams worked tirelessly to sift through the rubble of the building.

Authorities have since announced that they have ended their search for those believed to be missing following the blast.

The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) reported that seven other individuals were taken to local hospitals with injuries.

While the cause of the explosion is yet to be determined, PEMA has cited a possible issue with a gas lead.

In a statement released on Facebook, R.M. Palmer expressed its condolences and said it was working closely with emergency authorities to reach out to employees and their families.

The company did not provide further details on the cause of the explosion.

Images circulating on social media show the devastating aftermath of the explosion, with a vast pile of debris and large plumes of thick black smoke emanating from the factory.

R.M. Palmer, which was founded in 1948 and employs around 850 people, is known for creating over 500 unique chocolate and candy products.

West Reading Borough Mayor Samantha Kaag described the incident as a “devastating loss,” and expressed gratitude for the search being able to account for all those believed to be missing.

The town of West Reading, with a population of around 4,500, is located approximately 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

As the authorities continue their investigation into the cause of the explosion, the thoughts of the community are with the families and loved ones of those affected by this terrible tragedy.

Elizabeth Warren/Kamala Harris Feud Heats Up

According to RadarOnline.com, it seems that Vice President Kamala Harris is still holding a grudge against Senator Elizabeth Warren, as Harris has allegedly been avoiding Warren after Warren appeared to question Harris’ future as Vice President during an interview with Boston Public Radio in January.

According to CNN, insiders have claimed that Sen. Elizabeth Warren attempted to reach out to Vice President Kamala Harris not once, but twice, to reconcile after their relationship reportedly soured. However, Harris has yet to return the calls even after more than a month has passed since the attempts were made.

While Warren has voiced her support for President Joe Biden’s re-election in 2024, her response to whether she believes Harris should also seek a second term was not as definitive.

In a recent interview, Warren stated that she has known Harris for a long time, likes her, and has worked with her in the past on the housing crisis, but did not give a clear endorsement of Harris for a second term.

“But they need — they have to be a team, and my sense is they are — I don’t mean that by suggesting I think there are any problems,” she continued. “I think they are.”

Following the viral interview, Warren clarified in a separate statement to GBH News that she fully supports their “reelection together and never intended to imply otherwise,” praising the duo as a “terrific team.”

With so much at stake and a rumored presidential announcement brewing, those in Harris’ inner camp said she didn’t take kindly to the January interview.

According to an anonymous source speaking to CNN, the incident was considered “insulting,” and it was seen as just one of many snubs aimed at Vice President Harris, who has allegedly not received the respect and support she deserves. The tension between Harris and Warren arises as the First Lady reportedly assumes a more assertive role in the Biden administration.

“Jill’s always been totally protective of Joe since the earliest days of his presidency,” spilled one source, claiming she’s been lending advice and counsel when needed.

Insiders added that Jill has been quietly “running the show,”adding that she has been “stepping up” amid rumbles that Biden will strive for another four years.

Lawmaker Asks Transgender Woman Shocking Questions During Hearing (VIDEO)

An Arkansas lawmaker shocked onlookers this week when he asked a transgender health care professional about her genitals at a hearing on a bill that would prohibit gender-affirming care for minors.

Gwendolyn Herzig, a pharmacist who is a trans woman, was testifying Monday in support of the treatment for minors during a state Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

“You said that you’re a trans woman?” Republican state Sen. Matt McKee asked Herzig. “Do you have a penis?”

The audience erupted, with some audibly gasping and at least one person shouting, “Disgraceful.”

“That’s horrible,” Herzig said, after taking a few moments to gather herself. “I don’t know what my rights are, but that question was horribly inappropriate.”

Herzig, who holds a doctorate of pharmacy, then added: “I’m a health care professional, a doctor. Please treat me as such. Next question, please.”

Herzig said she went into Monday’s hearing hoping that Republican lawmakers would be receptive to hearing her perspective as a trans woman and a health professional.

“Any other question I was expecting other than what I got,” Herzig, 33, said in a phone interview with NBC News. “It was probably the most publicly humiliating thing I’ve ever gone through.”

McKee did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment.

The exchange prompted outrage on social media from trans activists and the state’s Democrats.

“Absolutely sickening,” Alejandra Caraballo, a clinical instructor at Harvard Law School’s Cyberlaw Clinic, wrote on Twitter. “Arkansas State senator Matt McKee asked a trans person at a legislative hearing ‘do you have a penis?’ Does this State Senator have any basic human decency?”

The Democratic Party of Arkansas tweeted, “Republicans are not hiding their transphobia.”

The legislation, S.B. 199, introduced in the Arkansas Senate this month, would prohibit physicians in the state from providing most types of gender-affirming care to minors, including prescribing puberty blockers or hormone replacement therapy, or from performing transition-related surgeries.

It would also allow anyone in the state who has received gender-affirming care as a minor to file a malpractice lawsuit against physicians for up to 30 years after they turn 18.

More than a dozen major medical organizations, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychological Association, support the treatments that would be barred if the bill becomes law.

In 2021, Arkansas became the first state to ban gender-affirming care for minors, but a federal judge temporarily blocked the law. The 2021 legislation largely mirrors the bill introduced this year.

Five other states have enacted similar forms of the legislation, including South Dakota, whose governor signed a measure into law on Monday.

Less than two months into 2023, lawmakers in at least 24 states, including Arkansas, have introduced legislation that would restrict transition-related care for minors, according to an NBC News analysis.

S.B. 199 advanced through Arkansas’ Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, and it is expected to pass through the state Senate in upcoming weeks.

After testifying, Herzig said she defiantly sat through the rest of the hearing before heading back to work at the pharmacy she owns, Park West Pharmacy in Little Rock, the state capital.

As video of her exchange with McKee spreads on social media, Herzig said, “Going viral, I guess, is OK.”

“I really just hope it just shows people that there’s people like me who want to stand up and that there are people who want to make sure there are access to resources,” she added.

Prince Harry and Meghan having Another Baby?

When it comes to public figures, there are always speculations about their lives, be it health or lifestyle. It seems some think the Sussexes could be expecting a third child, but is it true?

Since quitting the Royal Family in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan have kept most of their life private. As they keep so much of their life private, the public and media speculate about what is happening with them. The latest speculations are about pregnancy.

A baby announcement on Valentine’s Day?

Spanish media, Marca, claims that Prince Harry and Meghan may announce their third pregnancy on Valentine’s Day, meaning tomorrow, Feb 14. They wrote:

Reports claim that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could announce that they are expecting a third child on Valentine’s Day.

It is currently unknown where they have gotten the information from and it has not been confirmed by Prince Harry or Meghan Markle.

But if the couple were to announce another pregnancy on Valentine’s Day, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Indeed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were expecting Lilibet on February 14, 2021. Moreover, that date is also special to Prince Harry, as his mother, Diana, announced she was expecting Prince Harry on Valentine’s Day 1984.

Back in October 2022, Closer reported that the Sussexes were looking at extending their family, after the loss of Prince Harry’s nan, Queen Elizabeth.

A source told Closer:

They’re both very open to expanding their family and would love it to happen, and for Archie and Lili to have another sibling.

A third pregnancy would contradict previous statement

However, the claim made by the Spanish media is highly unlikely as it completely goes against a previous statement Prince Harry made.

Indeed back in July 2019, Prince Harry was interviewed by Vogue, and he said that he and Meghan were only going to have two children and no more. The reason behind this statement is the environment and protecting it.

I think, weirdly, because of the people that I’ve met and the places that I’ve been fortunate enough to go to, I’ve always had a connection and a love for nature. I view it differently now, without question. But I’ve always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children…

Adding:

Two, maximum! But I’ve always thought: this place is borrowed. And, surely, being as intelligent as we all are, or as evolved as we all are supposed to be, we should be able to leave something better behind for the next generation.

The couple then received an award, from UK-based charity Population Matters, in 2021 for deciding only to have two children.

Tom Brady Hopes NFL Retirement will Lure Ex-Wife Gisele Back to Him

Humbled NFL great Tom Brady seems to have hung up his cleats for good in a desperate attempt to win back supermodel ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and mend their family.

A source close to the situation said that while Gisele appears to have moved on after the couple’s October divorce, Tom has been begging the beauty to give him another chance since announcing on Feb. 1 he’s finally called it quits.

Of course, Brady retired before — in January 2022 — and reneged on the decision, which has left fans and people in his life questioning whether his new decision will stick.

But a source said, “Tom now realizes coming out of retirement to play another season last year was the biggest mistake of his life. He was dead wrong when he chose football over his family” and now wants to turn back the clock.

In his new retirement announcement on Instagram, Brady, 45, seemed to play on Gisele’s emotions by posting two photos showing him being embraced by his ex and their kids and after a Super Bowl victory with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Gisele’s response was a tepid, “Wishing you only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life,” which insiders suggested indicated she’s worried about being burned again.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, last year, Brady unretired only 40 days after leaving the Buccaneers, infuriating his then-wife Gisele, who made it clear she’d leave him if he put football ahead of his health and time with her and their kids, Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10.

He did it anyway — and his season was a train wreck featuring poor performances and a losing record.

Recently, Brady was said to be stung seeing Gisele, 42, getting cozy with hunky Brazilian martial arts instructor Joaquim Valente, 34, in Costa Rica.

The hock has been relentlessly calling Gisele, begging for her to take him back, said a source who said, “Tom wants his old life back. He’s promising Gisele to make her and the kids his top priority” but it may be too little, too late.

Brady seems desperate for attention after his split, with the NFL star posting a shirtless photo in nothing but his underwear on his Instagram earlier today.
