Pam Bondi Recovering From Cancer in Diagnosis That Came Right After DOJ Ouster

https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/pam-bondi-recovering-cancer-diagnosis-100703515.html

Former attorney general Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after she was removed from her post by President Donald Trump, according to a new report, as the former cabinet official prepares for a return to the administration in a White House AI advisory role.

Bondi underwent treatment and is now recovering, Axios reported late Tuesday, citing a source familiar with the matter. The diagnosis came weeks after Trump abruptly ousted her from the Justice Department.

The revelation was confirmed by Katie Miller, former White House communications aide and podcaster wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, in an X post.

“Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s ass the last few weeks,” Miller wrote. “@PamBondi has a heart of gold.”

who was deported. If that makes me a horrible person, so be it.

"A family that was deported to Mexico hopes they can find a way to return to the U.S. and ensure their 10-year-old daughter, who is a U.S. citizen, can continue her brain cancer treatment.
Immigration authorities removed the girl and four of her American siblings from Texas on Feb. 4, when they deported their undocumented parents.

The family’s ordeal began last month, when they were rushing from Rio Grande City, where they lived, to Houston, where their daughter’s specialist doctors are based, for an emergency medical checkup.
....

The 10-year-old girl was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and underwent surgery to remove the tumor. Doctors “practically gave me no hope of life for her, but thank God she’s a miracle,” the mother said.

The swelling on the girl’s brain is still not fully gone, the mother said, causing difficulties with speech and mobility of the right side of her body. Before the family was removed from the U.S., the girl was routinely checking in with doctors monitoring her recovery, attending rehabilitation therapies and taking medication to prevent convulsions."...

Trump assassinations?

Bondi thyroid cancer?

Tulsi Gabbard husband bone cancer?

I don't know if any of these things are true because all they do is lie.

As dad used to say: If they're looking for sympathy they'll find it between Shit and Syphilis in the dictionary
