Detroit mother Maryanne Godboldo faces multiple felony charges and is being held on $500,000 bond after a 10-hour standoff with a heavily armed police SWAT team. Godboldo was protecting her 13-year-old daughter from unnecessary medication ordered by the state. ■ Godboldo’s daughter was born with a defective foot that required amputation of her leg below the knee, which led to Maryanne becoming a stay-at-home mother after her birth, according to Health Impact News Daily. Despite her handicap, the child swam, sang, danced and played the piano. However, as the home schooled girl approached middle school age, she apparently wanted to start attending public school, and therefore had to “catch up” on immunizations the state insists are required under color of law. According to her aunt, Penny Godboldo, the girl suffered an adverse reaction to the immunizations. “She began acting out of character, being irritated, having facial grimaces that have been associated with immunizations,” Penny told the Detroit News.

'You are good, Barack Obama': children and youth across US pray to President ● Children across the US are taught to pray to Barack Obama instead of God. The shocking video posted on Youtube shows a child praying to the US President and thanks him for "all the stuff that you helped us with". This is not the first time when children pray to Obama and are brainwashed in schools. "Barack Obama, thank you for doing everything and all the kind stuff… Thank you for all the stuff you helped us with," the little boy, who identifies himself as Steven, says while he stands on his knees in a typical praying fashion. "You are good, Barack Obama. You are great and when you get older you will be able to do great things. Love, Steven," the boy concludes. The video ends with a loud "Barack Obama" yell of joy.
● [Understandably], the reaction to the boy’s prayer has been disproportionately negative. "Watching this is like watching the kids in the Middle East brainwashed by their parents wanting to become martyrs. Gotta love brainwashing. A mind truly is a terrible thing to use," one commenter said at YouTube. "Wow, I've never seen such blasphemy. It's obviously not the kids fault, he doesn't know any better... but the parent should know better," said another YouTube user. "You should be ashamed of yourself for teaching your child that it is acceptable to pray to a man, and not God," one commenter wrote. "Especially a man hell bent on destroying our nation. Stop breeding..immediately." "Disgusting. Pray for this poor child’s soul," another said.

The Israeli regime has approved the construction of another 942 settlement units in the occupied East al-Quds (Jerusalem), report says. ● Al-Quds municipal councillor Yosef Pepe Alalu said on Tuesday that the municipality approved the plan for the construction of the settlement units in Gilo settlement, AFP reported. "This is a terrible decision which is a provocation against the Palestinians, the Americans and the whole world who oppose continued settlement building," the leftwing municipal councilor also said. The new construction plans are in addition to the 1,200 settlement units approved by the Tel Aviv regime on Sunday. The Palestinians have already been infuriated by the Sunday approval of the building of 793 settlement units in east al-Quds and 394 others in the West Bank. The new move is expected to add insult to injury.
