Rapper Costa Titch, 28, died this weekend after collapsing at a Johannesburg music festival Saturday, according to an Instagram statement by his family. No cause of death was immediately announced.
"Death
has tragically knocked at our door. Robbing us of our beloved son,
brother, and grandson. Constantinos Tsobanoglou (28), whom South Africa
had come to love and idolize under his stage name "Costa Titch," the
family wrote on the rapper's Instagram page.
Costa Titch was
performing at the Nasrec Expo Centre when he fell over onstage,
according to Cape Town Etc. An individual rushed to help the rapper who
briefly regained his footing before collapsing again.
"It is with deep pain that we find ourselves having to acknowledge
his passing at this time. We are thankful for the emergency responders
and all those present in his last hours on this earth," the family
continued.

Organizers of the Ultra Music Festival South Africa
also issued a statement shortly after Costa Titch's passing was
announced, writing on Twitter: "We are devastated by the sudden lose of
the beloved South African artist Costa Titch, who tragically passed away
this weekend. Costa was a galvanizing voice amongst South Africa’s
amapiano scene – a talented rapper, dancer, songwriter, collaborator and
friend to the festival."

Earlier this month, a young fighter suffered a medical emergency during a fight at The Coliseum in downtown Evansville, Indiana.
Amateur MMA fighter Isaiah Abels, 21, was rushed to the hospital
after suffering a cardiac arrest shortly after landing a second-round
takedown during a fight, Express reported.
Medical personnel rushed in and were able to restart Abels’ heart before he was taken to the hospital.
According to the doctors, Isaiah experienced brain damage due to a lack of oxygen to his brain for several minutes.
Abels’ brother Zach posted an emotional message on Facebook
explaining how the incident occurred during the second round after he
landed a takedown.
Last night Isaiah Abels engaged in battle. It went two
rounds. First round went to him with beautiful striking. The fight
transitioned into the second round. Isaiah continued to pick his shots
and maintained his pace and distance.
Unexpectedly he was countered with a lead hook. He responded with a
takedown and continued to pressure his opponent against the fence to
recover from the hook. Isaiah then disengaged from the clinch and went
to press forward. As he continued to pressure his opponent something
ominous happened.
Isaiah took a step forward and collapsed to his knees. He was going
into respiratory arrest. Soon after the fight was stopped. The ref had
no idea what really happened thinking it was a typical stoppage. Clearly
it wasn’t. Isaiah wasn’t getting up because he was also going into
cardiac arrest.
Once the doctors and medics accessed the situation. They got his
heart going as they assisted his breathing. We rushed to the hospital. A
hour or so later Isaiah was stabilized.
I don’t know what you believe in, but the fear of God was put into
all of us last night. Words can’t even describe. I’m grateful for
everyone praying and thinking about him, but I really wanna thank the
medical professionals along with God. Again, I don’t know to what degree
you believe in God, but please continue to keep Isaiah in your thoughts
and prayers.
Please, God. Please everyone. Please. I love you, Isaiah Lee
A fundraising campaign was created to help with medical finances. Below are the updates via the GoFundMe page:

The neurologist said that everything looks good. His slow responses
are reaction based, he’s reacting to touch and sound so best we can do
is give him time. He needs time for his mind and body to heal, the
medications he’s on can also attribute to his brain slowly responding,
that and whatever punches he took before the stoppage. The doctor said
that he can hear us so best we can do is keep positive. They say that if
he doesn’t wake up in the next 3 days then they’ll make sure to do more
scans of his brain. Just keep positive and keep praying. We’re all
trying our best for him. We’re gonna walk out with him sometime soon.
This process takes time. Please continue to pray for my brother. God is
the embodiment of love, god is with us! This was just posted from his
twin brother, Elijah Abels
March 9, 2023 by Terri Himelick, Organizer
Thank you for all the support. I am in contact with the family
daily. I updated the goal to help cover some more of the medical
expenses as he is taking longer to wake up. The family appreciates the
prayers and words of encouragement. His twin brother holds his hand and
is reading them to him while he is sedated❤️ .I know he can hear him so
please keep the encouragement coming!

New update from Elijah (his twin brother): the PT visited Isaiah the
other day. His ventilator is assisting him with 10% of his breathing so
he is breathing at 90% on his own. His color looks good today. The
siblings are heading home so one can return to school for the rest of
the week and they will head back to the hospital friday. His dad and mom
are still by his side. Thank you again for all those who are supporting
this family and showering them with love, encouragement and prayers.

New update from his dad 44mins ago. Isaiah had a second CAT scan and
MRI done today- the doctor said the MRI didn’t look good- Isaiah has
brain damage-due to lack of oxygen to the brain for 3-5 mins. Best case
he has a week to respond to commands like -open your eyes and squeeze my
hand. If he cant do this by next Tuesday they will transport him via
ambulance ride back to fort wayne. After that his best case would be
weeks to months or rehab, worse case he will have lifelong issues. I
will be bumping up the goal to help get him back home. Please keep
praying
March 10 by Terri Himelick, Organizer
Just spoke with Elijah (his twin) and they will be putting a trach
in to prepare him for travel. His dad is making a lot of calls to make
sure they have a place that will take him and a way to get him back home
to Fort Wayne. Please continue to share this page so we can take some
of the financial burden off this family and also spread the word for
people to pray for him and his family.
His dad just posted that they will be transfering him to a long term
care facility. This will place many doctors and therapists around him
to help him on his recovery journey. He still has lots of work to do but
he will be able to do it with all his family at his side as they will
be together. This will be a blessing as we are all “better together”!!!
Thanks for joining the fight

Isaiah had a trach put in his throat yesterday for breathing – they put a
feeding tube in his stomach – he is not tied down – sometimes he opens
his eyes – he is off the propofol and fentanyl – now he is on pain
medication – the nurses and staff are great – they let us sleep in the
room at night – afraid to leave here – still looking for a long term
care facility that is good – closest one is probably one hour away in
Muncie – Isaiah needs to be weaned off the ventilator and off the drugs –
wake up – then rehab. Please continue to pray that insurance gives the
ok to get him transferred to muncie. It isnt his home town but it is the
best care that is closest to fort wayne to give him the best chance!!
Also pray for peace for the family as they are in the waiting game and
world of unknowns!
Last week, a healthy and active 17-year-old girl suddenly suffered a
cardiac arrest during a cheer competition, leading to multiple seizures.
Keianna Joe had a seizure and stopped breathing after suffering a
cardiac arrest while in warmups at a competition in Raleigh, North
Carolina.
“I need everyone to pray for my beautiful girl. At a cheer
competition today she had a seizure and stopped breathing. She is in the
pediatric ICU now intubated and still unresponsive. We need the prayer
chain to start her healing,” Keianna’s mother, Andrea Joe wrote on her
Facebook account.
Andrea said that they still do not know what caused the seizure, but
they suspect at first that it was caused by her not eating and consuming
a Red Bull, as well as the “stimulation of cheer caused her heart to go
into arrhythmia, triggering multiple seizures.”
On her Facebook account, Andrea gave a detailed description of what had happened.
“While in warmups at a competition in Raleigh, she was
coming down from a stunt when she started acting “weird.” They got her
to the ground gently and her coach noticed her flexing with her eyes
rolled back. There was another coach there who happened to be a
[registered nurse] came to her side and realized immediately she was not
breathing, checked for a pulse and started CPR. Thank you from the
bottom of my heart for being there. I then got to my daughters side felt
for a pulse and did not find one so I took over CPR. I did 3-4 rounds
of CPR placed the AED and gave 1 shock. Then a grandfather from our gym
took over with CPR. She started breathing on her own at that time but
still unresponsive. Paramedics brought her to the hospital where she had
3 more seizures and coded so they intubated her. At this time she is
still intubated but stable. We are not 100% sure what caused this but
believe her not eating, drinking a Red Bull and the stimulation of cheer
caused her heart to go into Arrhythmia triggering multiple seizures. I
want to thank the coach who started CPR and the grandfather who took
over CPR for me and the entire cheer family who came to the hospital
tonight. No words can say how thankful I am. Now we just pray for my
beautiful girl to wake up and get back to her normal feisty self.”
Quick
update on my girl. While in warmups at a competition in Raleigh she was

“While at the hospital, Keianna had 3 more seizures and coded once
again, so the decision was made to intubate her. At the time of this
post, she is still in a medically induced coma in the ICU but is
stable,” according to a fundraising campaign.
“We are unsure exactly what caused this incident, and can only
speculate that her heart went into arrhythmia from a combination of
dehydration, too much caffeine from an energy drink, and exercise,” the
campaign reads.
Andrea gave another update and said that she had a severe cardiac
arrest that triggered seizures, and it was not the result of not
drinking a Red Bull.
She added that they might have to put an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) in Keianna.
“So today her recovery process took a huge turn in a different
direction. We received the results from the AED that was used to shock
her and learned her heart was in ventricular fibrillation which is why
shock was given. So this being said she didn’t just have a seizure she
had a severe cardiac arrest which triggered seizures. Due to this new
diagnosis, she was transferred to Duke to be followed by some of the
best pediatric cardiac doctors in the nation. Originally the ONKY thing
we could relate this to was her not eating and drinking a Red Bull. We
have been informed that this was NOT caused by those two things alone.
(Although it is still very bad to not eat drink a Red Bull and compete)
these were not very big factors. I was told that the quick response by
her coaches and the immediate CPR starting is why she is recovering so
fast because it kept all her organs working her heart would have never
recovered from this rhythm without the use of the AED. She is struggling
coming to terms with the news that CHEER and track are over for her as
these were her true passion. She is still in fairly good spirits being
sassy and making me laugh with all her hilarious comments. I am still
trying to wrap my brain around the news that my 17-year-old athletic
daughter had a severe heart attack. She still has a very long road ahead
with multiple Dr visits so I am asking for everyone to continue and
pray for her healing as well as her peace of mind. They are planning on
placing an internal defibrillator in her after the results of more MRIs
and other stress tests come in. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
for the prayer and well wishes it is truly felt and I am overwhelmed by
the support and love everyone has shown.”
UPDATE
on Keianna: So today her recovery process took a huge turn in a
different direction. We received the results from the AED that was used
to shock her and learned her heart was in ventricular fibrillation which
is why shock was given. So this being said she didn’t just have a
seizure she had a severe cardiac arrest which triggered seizures. Due
to this new diagnosis she was transferred to Duke to be followed by some
of the best pediatric cardiac doctors in the nation....
On Saturday, Andrea said her daughter had an MRI that ruled out heart
abnormalities, which includes “ruling out any COVID vaccine as being a
contributing factor.” The doctors have no idea what caused her to have a
heart attack.
Doctors were suspecting a long QT syndrome, also called a heart conduction disorder, a heart signaling disorder that can cause fast, chaotic heartbeats (arrhythmias).
“She has continued to improve with her short-term memory
loss. She has been at Duke University Hospital for 3 days and is doing
about as well as a 17-year-old stuck in a hospital room should. They
have run so many different tests on her I lost count but the most recent
was a heart MRI which came back normal ruling out any abnormalities.
This includes ruling out any covid vaccine as being a contributing
factor. Yes, I had a very long discussion with her cardiac team and we
are exploring EVERY possibility. Her Echo and EKG are normal. She did a
stress test today where she ran on a treadmill. (Funny story, when the
Dr asked if she was feeling like she could tolerate a treadmill she
responded with, “I run for fun, I can’t wait let’s go.” ). That came
back with just a slight arrhythmia but nothing that they would think to
cause the sudden cardiac arrest in a healthy active 17-year-old. They
have been discussing something that is called long QT Syndrome. (Look it
up it’s too long to explain.). Because as of now this is what they call
idiopathic cardiac arrest or in better terms, they have no clue why she
had a cardiac arrest, they will be placing an ICD device in her on
Monday. This will continue to monitor her rhythm at all times and if
needed will give an emergency shock to the heart. She is in agreement
that this is the best thing for her at this time, I told her it was
either this device or I go wherever she goes at all times including
school in case I need to do CPR again. That made the decision really
easy. But seriously thank you is just not enough to express how
eternally grateful we are that she is still here today. It is something
like only 17% of people who go into sudden cardiac arrest with VFib
survive if happened outside an emergency care facility. That is not a
very high percent and this beautiful sassy brilliant girl is living
proof God is the one in control and has bigger plans for this child.”
A biological male received an award during the International Women Day of Courage Ceremony at the White House on Wednesday.
Jill Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken proudly stood next to the transgender (bio male) award recipient.
Joe Biden was MIA.
The International Woman of Courage Awards ceremony recognizes those
“who have demonstrated exceptional courage, strength, and leadership in
advocating for peace, justice, human rights, gender equity and equality,
and the empowerment of women and girls, in all their diversity – often
at great personal risk and sacrifice,” according to the State Department.
“In Argentina, Alba Rueda, is a transgender woman who was kicked out
of classrooms, barred from sitting for exams, refused job opportunities,
subjected to violence and rejected by her family. But if the face of
these challenges, she worked to end violence and discrimination against
the LGBTQI+ community in Argentina,’ the presenter said.
Jill Biden gave the man a kiss as he received his ‘Woman of Courage’ award.
Back
on Saturday, July 16 members of Antifa followed through on vows to try
disrupting a gathering at the HonkyTonk Bar in Salem, Oregon. The result
of the far-left group’s actions is what some are predicting to be a war
between them and several motorcycle clubs throughout Oregon. If that
sounds to you like a confrontation which would be wise to back away
from, you’re not alone. What happens next could be ugly.
Originally,
Antifa groups began rallying members and supporters to join a “counter
demonstration” for the “Take Action Tour” event being held at the
HonkyTonk Bar. They characterized the venue’s gathering as “racist” and
catering to both “fascists” as well as “white supremacists.” That event
was marketed by the bar as “Hero Appreciation Day” complete with a dunk
tank, bike show, eating contest, live music, bouncy house,
family-friendly karaoke, free hot dogs, etc.
When
Antifa showed up in black bloc, their numbers were very few. Still,
they used a megaphone to draw attention to the gathering across the
street from the bar. Eventually, several patrons made their way over to
confront the demonstrators. Arguing turned into shoving, mace was
deployed by an Antifa member, then the group retreated away from the
establishment entirely. Taking on biker clubs usually doesn’t end well
for the opposing party since they fight back unlike moms driving their
kids through downtown Portland or Christian parents holding a concern in
a park, something those Antifa who showed up learned quickly.
According
to several Twitter posts from accounts journalist Andy Ngo says are
Antifa members, the group which confronted them was the Free Souls
Motorcycle Club. The one percenter motorcycle club might not have the
household brand name of the Hells Angels, however its roots run deep.
Founded in Eugene, Oregon in 1968 there’s considerably controversy over
the details of its foundation, history, and what its aims are today.
Regardless, Antifa seems poised to take it and other one percenter
motorcycle clubs on in Oregon, promising for a confrontation like
they’ve never seen.
White
Rose of the Willamette Valley used its Twitter account to complain
after Salem police didn’t protect their fellow Antifa members during the
confrontation. It said Free Souls and “other uniformed security” both
“attacked and injured community members peacefully protesting” without
supplying details or other evidence. Unlawful whatever on Twitter
claimed “one of ours” was hospitalized from the fight, retweeting a
different person claiming “Salem police literally backed away” when the
Free Souls came out to confront them. Another Antifa account proceeded
to dox several people involved in the confrontation, tagging their
supposed employers as well as releasing other personal details.
It's
not like Antifa is unfamiliar with physical confrontation. Per Andy
Ngo, one of the organizers of the demonstration at the HonkyTonk Bar was
arrested in 2021 after allegedly hitting a female police officer. Ngo
claimed another in attendance plead guilty the week before for doing
over $164,000 in damages to a courthouse.
Nobody
knows for sure what comes next in this feud, but some purported Antifa
members took to Twitter to either voice their concern for the group’s
trajectory or encourage others to push forward in that direction. One
person warned Oregon motorcycle clubs are “highly organised (sic) and
relentlessly violent and have vast networks you don’t understand.”
Check out video of the fight across the street from the HonkyTonk Bar (warning: language and violence).

Is a Grammy award in former President Donald Trump’s future?
The former president collaborated on a song with the J6 Prison Choir –
members of the MAGA mob who remain imprisoned for their role in the
January 6 Capitol attack.
The song, entitled ‘Justice for All,’ uses Trump’s spoken
word recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance over the Star-Spangled
banner, with the prisoners chanting ‘USA’ at the end.
It was released on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms on Friday.
The recording was done at Mar-A-Lago and Ed Henry and former Trump
White House official Kash Patel are reportedly involved with the
project.
One source told Forbes that money raised from the song,
which is on sale for $1.29 on iTunes, will go to the families of
imprisoned Jan. 6 defendants.
The tune was recorded several weeks ago at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
residence in South Florida, the source further claimed, with the Jan. 6
defendant portion reportedly recorded through a jailhouse phone.
Conservative commentator Ed Henry and Trump-era White
House official Kash Patel are reportedly involved in the project. The
funds are slated to go into a group run by Henry.
J. Michael Evans, Canadian Alibaba Group President
Canadian Alibaba President J. Michael Evans bragged at the recent
Global Economic Forum that the globalists are working on a tracking
system that monitors where you shop, what you eat, how you travel and
where you travel. The Tech Giants and government may be doing that
already.
It’s time to wake up, people.
What happens after the data collection stage is where it really gets scary.
The Gateway Pundit has been tracked, banned, censored, smeared,
suspended, removed from, and frequently lied about because we disagreed
with the Fauci lockdowns, the WHO COVID mortality rates, the wet market
nonsense, the vaccines, vaccines for children, the effectiveness of HCQ
and Ivermectin, masking, manufactured mortality numbers, vaccine
mandates, etc.
Then they tried to eliminate us from society.
Guess what comes after the WEF consumer monitoring?
The Canadian Alibaba Group president J. Michael Evans
boasts at the World Economic Forum about developing an individual carbon
footprint tracker to monitor what you buy, what you eat, and where/how
you travel.
That individual carbon footprint tracker, however, most likely won’t
apply to corporate jets, yachts, or emissions from homes greater than
5,000 sq ft.
This growing obsession with ‘tracking people’ is worrisome and needs to stop!
A homeless man was executed on a city street in St. Louis Monday
morning in broad daylight. The shooting was captured on video, showing
the victim was shot (at least) twice, with about ninety seconds elapsing
before the first shot and the coup de grâce.
The video cuts off as the person filming realizes he is witnessing a
murder. In the moments before, the victim is seen sitting on the curb as
a man stands a few feet away from him. The man pulls a gun out and
fiddles with it, apparently loading it. He then steps closer and draws
down on the man, aims at his head and fires.
Video of the execution was posted Monday night with this caption,
“This was in #stl today in broad daylight. Dude executed him with not a
care in the 🌍. We have a corrupt George Soros funded prosecutor and 1/4
murders in St Louis actually are prosecuted. That’s what y’all get when
you vote for soft on crime democrats. This is outcome. Another black
man executed where’s blm?”
Longer video posted Tuesday shows the man was shot twice, ninety
seconds apart, “Heres the full video of the broad daylight murder in
#stl yesterday. Btw 10 am today #kimgardner supporters are gathering
downtown.Meanwhile a young girl lays with her legs amputated and crushed
pelvis 1 mile away in the hospital from a thug Kim and her cronies let
back on the street when he should been in jail. Show Kims pals this 🎥
from yesterday PS I’m not the one recording I just was given the video
knowing I’m not scared to post it. Hoping the guy goes public people
need to see truth of what happens here daily.”
The person recording the video called police but (understandably) did not risk intervening.
Person reluctant to come forward, “I’m still trying to get owner of
video to come forward and talk about it with the media. He’s probably
worried about his safety, guilt he didn’t step in, and traumatized he
saw someone shot in head just yards away. Regardless keep spreading word
of what’s happening here in STL.”
A man was shot and killed Monday morning in downtown St. Louis by a gunman with whom he had fought minutes earlier, police said.
Police responding to a shooting call shortly after 10 a.m. in the 700
block of North Tucker Boulevard found the man shot outside, Maj. Ryan
Cousins said at the scene of the shooting. The victim was pronounced
dead at the scene.
Tucker was closed to traffic at Convention Plaza and Washington
Avenue; the man’s body was found on the sidewalk in front of The Globe
Building.
…Witnesses of the shooting told police the man was shot
by a gunman after the two fought minutes earlier down the street near a
Shell gas station on Convention Plaza, Cousins said. The man was chased
across the street before being shot. Police have not learned what
sparked the argument.
Last week Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey initiated the process to remove
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner from office saying, “Instead of
protecting victims, George Soros backed Circuit Attorney Gardner is
creating them. My office will do everything in its power to restore
order, and eliminate the chaos in St. Louis caused by Kim Gardner’s
neglect of her office.”
"I may be a White boy, but I'm not stupid," President Biden said at a Black History Month event.
President Biden made a controversial declaration during a Black History Month event Monday, saying, while he might be a "White boy," he isn't "stupid."
At
a White House reception, Biden appeared to hit Gov. Ron DeSantis,
R-Fla., when he declared, "It’s important to say from the White House
for the entire country to hear: History matters. History matters and
Black history matters. I can’t just choose to learn what we want to
know. We learn what we should know. We have to learn everything, the
good, the bad, the truth, and who we are as a nation."
But it was
another statement from the event that went viral when Biden was boasting
about his knowledge of the Divine Nine historically Black fraternities
and sororities.
"I
may be a White boy, but I'm not stupid," Biden said, as the crowd
laughed. "I know where the power is. You think I’m joking? I learned a
long time ago about the Divine Nine."

A convicted felon from Bergen County was seized when he
tried to bring two rifles, a handgun, a Taser, a switchblade and bogus
U.S. Marshals credentials onto a flight from Newark to Fort Lauderdale,
federal authorities said.
Seretse Clouden, 42, of Wallington had a
.308-caliber DPMS Panther Arms rifle, a 5.56-caliber AR-15 rifle, a
.40-caliber Glock 22 handgun and the phony creds -- which bore his name,
photograph and a U.S. Marshal badge -- in his checked baggage, the FBI
charged in a complaint.
His bags also contained a ballistic vest that said "Deputy Marshal,"
two magazines containing 15 rounds each of .40-caliber ammunition and an
expandable baton, the complaint filed by the bureau in U.S. District
Court in Newark says.
Clouden lists himself on a LinkedIn profile
as having worked as an "executive protection officer" with a firm out of
Fort Lee -- and, previously, as a "federal protection officer" with
the US Department of Homeland Security and, before that, a member of the
US Marine Corps Military Police.
Clouden once posted a photo of
himself on Instagram holding a rifle next to an iconic black-and-white
photo from Life Magazine of a targeted Malcolm X doing the same with an
M1 carbine at his Queens home in 1964.
He
also published a photo on Facebook in late January of a wheeled
suitcase of his being returned, presumably following the Dec. 30, 2022
incident.
Clouden had previously served time for an illegal
weapons possession conviction out of Bergen County on April 22, 2016,
records show.
He's now charged with unlawful possession of
firearms and ammunition by a convicted felon and fraudulent possession
of an identification document and authentication feature of the federal
government, U.S. Attorney Philip Sellinger said Monday.
A U.S. magistrate judge ordered Clouden detained at a court
appearance in Newark following the unsealing of the complaint against
him on Monday, Feb. 27.
A routine screening of checked luggage
destined for Fort Lauderdale out of Newark Liberty International Airport
turned up the weapons, ammunition and other items, the U.S. attorney
said.
The luggage "also contained 'United States Marshal'
credentials, bearing Clouden’s name and photograph, and a 'United States
Marshal' badge," Sellinger said.
An announcement was made for Clouden to report to the gate, where he
told agents who converged on him that he "did not possess law
enforcement credentials or a firearms identification card from any
state," the FBI complaint says.
"An inquiry with the United States
Marshals Service confirmed that Clouden is not, and was not, employed
with the United States Marshal Service," Sellinger added.
Sellinger
credited special agents with the FBI and special deputies of the U.S.
Marshals Service, along with the Port Authority Police Department and
TSA officers, for the arrest and investigation.
Handling the case for the government are Assistant U.S. Attorneys
