Local officials said a 35-year-old man deliberately drove into people between the towns of Saint Pierre d'Oléron and Dolus d'Oléron on Île d’Oléron on Wednesday, injuring 10 people.
Arnaud Laraize, the public prosecutor for the nearby city of La Rochelle, said the suspect had yelled "allahu akbar," or "God is greatest" in Arabic, as he was arrested, according to the newspaper Sud Ouest. French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez separately confirmed that the suspect was in custody and an investigation was underway. Nuñez said two people had been critically injured.
On September 11, at a HALO event in Minneapolis, I addressed concerns about Hospice. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to answer all the questions attendees asked. People who ask questions deserve answers. Furthermore, when one person asks a question, it is likely that others are interested in the answer as well.
The 10/24/25 HALO Voice Alert answered questions about Nutrition and Hydration. Today, I will tackle questions about POLST (Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment), a healthcare advance directive used extensively throughout the United States. It has various names and acronyms, but they all can be hazardous to your life.
WARNING:
+ All POLST forms reduce complicated medical decisions to a “check the box” format and are slanted toward encouraging refusal of life-saving and life-preserving treatment and care, resulting in avoidable deaths.
Dear Patriots,
As the dust settles from last night’s election, we recognize a hard truth: New York City has chosen Zohran Mamdani, a radical socialist whose platform rejects the values of law, order, and freedom that built this city. This outcome is deeply disappointing, but we refuse to see it as a defeat.
Over the past weeks and months, the #WalkAway Campaign and our incredible community of patriots have poured our hearts into this fight. We spoke truth in the face of hostility. We rallied in the streets. We reached voters who had never heard another perspective. And in doing so, we planted seeds of courage and awareness that will continue to grow long after this election.
Public Service Commissioner Brad Molnar filed the complaint, dated Wednesday, with the Commissioner of Political Practices, which monitors and enforces ethical standards for public officers.
In the complaint, Molnar, recently ousted as president, asks the Commissioner of Political Practices to estimate the money Bukacek owes ratepayers for her alleged abuse of state resources and levy penalties accordingly. Bukacek is a licensed physician based in Kalispell, according to the Montana Board of Medical Examiners. She is on the Logan Health Medical Center receptionist directory.
Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker on Monday said he was still deciding whether he’d sign legislation that would permit doctors to help terminally ill people end their lives, after the bill narrowly passed the General Assembly last week.
“It was something that I didn’t expect and didn’t know it was going to be voted on, so we’re examining it even now,” Pritzker said.
The Democratic-run state Senate, before dawn broke Friday, voted with the bare minimum 30 votes to allow mentally competent, terminally ill adults the right to access life-ending prescription medication with physician oversight. The vote sent the bill to the governor’s desk. But opponents, including disability advocates and the Catholic Church, have pushed back against the measure, saying it could lead to discrimination, coercion and abuse.
