It’s a crucial week for Biden. Here’s the latest.President Biden issued defiant responses on Monday to high-ranking lawmakers calling for him to step aside, challenging Democrats to run against him and telling congressional Democrats in a letter that he was “firmly committed to staying in the race.”Calling into “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, Mr. Biden said he didn’t care about any of the “big names” urging him to drop out of the race, his voice rising considerably as he spoke.“If any of these guys don’t think I should run, run against me,” he said. “Go ahead, announce for president. Challenge me...

The provision of transgender services at Planned Parenthood clinics has surged in recent years, coinciding with the growing profitability of the transgender medical sector that exploits children. Data from regional branches of the abortion giant indicates a significant expansion. Planned Parenthood began selling hormone treatments in 2005. By 2022, 41 out of 49 regional branches were exploiting kids with the sales. However, the past three years have seen a substantial uptick in Planned Parenthood’s involvement in transgender healthcare. Now 45 of its affiliates sell the dangerous hormones. From 2020 to 2022, the number of transgender sales and related visits at...

An extremist Antifa leader who is on France’s national security watchlist has been elected to the National Assembly as a member of the New Popular Front leftist bloc. The official spokesman of the Lyon Antifa collective “Jeune Garde Antifasciste (Young Antifascist Guard) in Lyon, Raphaël Arnault will represent the first constituency of Vaucluse in Provence in the French parliament after beating out populist National Rally candidate Catherine Jaouen with 54.98 per cent of the vote in Sunday’s second round of legislative elections, Le Figaro reports.

The dramatic pictures showed blood-covered mothers cradling their terrified children as they tried to escape the hospital after the strike. Horrifying pictures have captured the aftermath of a devastating Russian missile strike on a children's hospital in Kyiv that caused widespread damage and killed at least two people.

VIDEODemocrat vs Democrat discord over whether Joe Biden should stay or go. I love it! Formerly smug Democrats are now chock full of HILARIOUS angst and anger at each other. Thank you Rob Reiner and Abigail Disney! Oh, and as a result, you will see an angry old man yelling at a cloud at the beginning of this video. All due to the debate Trumpocalypse!

Katarina Jovanovic, a 28-year-old woman from Germany, has been found guilty of manslaughter in the death of her newborn baby girl. After Jovanovic gave birth at home in secret on September 12, she then dropped her newborn daughter out of the apartment window. Prosecutors alleged she committed the crime because she feared motherhood would ruin her career. Jovanovic was sentenced to just seven and a half years in prison. “The accused was not prepared to put her life plans, especially her professional advancement, on hold for a child,” argued public prosecutor Mareike Hafendoerfer. “That was her decision when the baby...

President Joe Biden, in a letter to congressional Democrats, stood firm against calls for him to drop his candidacy and called for an “end” to the intraparty drama that has torn apart Democrats since his dismal public debate performance. Biden's efforts to shore up a deeply anxious Democratic Party came Monday as lawmakers are returning to Washington and confronting a choice: decide whether to work to revive his campaign or edge out the party leader, a make-or-break time for his reelection and their own political futures. Biden wrote in the two-page letter that “the question of how to move forward...

Something amazing has happened in the 10 days since [the] debate: Biden has come in for the kind of coordinated onslaught from the mainstream media and Democratic power brokers that is usually reserved for Republicans. [snip] The American people have since been treated to a deluge of negative Biden coverage: not just of the president’s cognitive impairments, but also the Shakespearean power struggles in his inner orbit and his White House’s breaking of norms by feeding journalists questions ahead of interviews. You could say Biden is getting the Trump treatment. [snip] The same Democratic elites who, in the name of...

On June 24 – the two-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade – the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study which purported to compare the safety and efficacy of chemical abortions obtained either in-person (following an ultrasound) or through the mail (using the so-called “no-test” protocol, in which no in-person doctor visit occurs, and no lab work or ultrasounds are performed). It concluded that “medication abortion following no-test telehealth screening and mailing of medications” has “a low prevalence of adverse events.” But how reliable is this study? What does the data in it really...

If Donald Trump stepped forward to the cameras and delivered an announcement like this, what would happen next? Today, I am calling on President Joe Biden to resign from office and withdraw from the 2024 campaign. I say this with no pleasure because I believe I would easily defeat Biden in November, as the polls show, but this is about the best interests of our country.

Four more pro-life activists who were convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and felony conspiracy charges received their sentencing last week for activism at a Tennessee abortion business. These sentences have thus far been much less harsh than the sentences imposed upon pro-lifers convicted of FACE Act and conspiracy charges for activism at a Washington, D.C., abortion facility. According to The Associated Press (AP), the activists were convicted in January for participating in a 2021 pro-life action at the Carafem abortion business in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Sentences ranged from six months in prison to...

ROME — Pope Francis warned Sunday democracy is in “crisis” around the world, likely with an eye to a rise in right-wing parties across Italy, Austria, Argentina, Netherlands, and Germany. It is evident that in today’s world, democracy “is not in good health,” the pontiff told a group of 900 participants in the 50th annual Social Week, celebrated in the northern Italian city of Trieste. The pope went on to compare the modern “crisis of democracy” to a wounded heart that has suffered a heart attack, manifested by “various forms of social exclusion” that “limit participation.”

Goldberg, for one, thought all the discussions of Biden’s age and related gaffes were beside the point entirely, saying, “I don’t care if he’s pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together. Show me he can’t do the job, and then I’ll say, ‘OK, maybe it’s time to go.'” She went on to distinguish her opinion on the matter from her fellow panelists, who also had a heated discussion about the debate while she was absent from the subsequent live show: “Yeah Biden had a bad day, but [Trump] couldn’t tell the truth if it...

CV NEWS FEED // Catholic scholar Tim Carney took to X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend to give a few examples of how Democratic officials and their media allies are “waging a religious crusade against pro-life and Catholic institutions” throughout the country. Carney cited an X post by a reporter for the left-leaning news source ProPublica which depicted a Massachusetts billboard attacking pro-life pregnancy resource centers (PRCs). The ProPublica reporter indicated that such anti-PRC billboards “are all over Western [Massachusetts] now.” In large capital letters, the billboard warns passersby to “AVOID” what it calls “Anti-Abortion Centers.” “They MISLEAD you about...

Unlike the many pundits who have concluded – in retrospect – that Biden's debate debacle was an orchestrated coup by the Dem elites, my prediction of that coup and supporting analysis was published on WND two days before the debate, under the title "Why June 27 will be another 'Night of the Long Knives.'" I said right up front: "I believe the primary purpose of the debate is to shock the Kool-Aid-drinking blue-pilled left into reality as to Biden's dementia and the need to remove him. The pro-Biden propaganda machine will keep pumping out the 'Joe is OK and can...

Archaeologists are nearing the bottom of their current dig site at Sunrise, Wyoming, a former company mining town...Not only is Sunrise home to one of the largest red ochre mines in North America, but some of the oldest Paleoindian artifacts on the continent have also been found there.Some of those artifacts date back 14,000 years, predating Clovis man, who lived from 13,050 to 12,750 years ago...George Zeimans, the Wyoming archaeologist who has been heading up activities at the site, said he has already dug a few test sites that have found evidence of other artifacts."We know there's a main camp...

CHICAGO — With the ShotSpotter gunfire detection system soon to be removed from Chicago’s streets, so-called “reform” activists are turning their attention to another tool police find useful: traffic stops. Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said in May that her office is developing a policy not to prosecute gun, theft, and drug charges stemming from certain traffic stops. Foxx said her staff would refuse to file charges in most cases if evidence was found during a traffic stop for missing license plates, expired registrations, and other minor infractions. She called the anticipated change “a public safety enhancement effort.” “Armed...

<p>There’s a celebrity trend that has nothing to do with the season’s hottest fashion designer, jewelry item or flashy car. Instead, Hollywood stars are parading their transgender children around like some sort of good luck charms on a keychain.</p><p>Fox has openly discussed her support of her alleged non-binary child Noah, a son she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Noah has been photographed wearing dresses when he was as young as age five. The “Transformers” actress insisted that he made that fashion choice himself but has also admitted to encouraging Noah to form a unique identity. Fox says Noah started wearing dresses at age two, according to People.</p>

Some Citi Bike users may be riding off into the sunset. The Lyft-operated service will hike its prices a whopping 20% for members and non-members on Wednesday – leaving some riders to consider ditching the service and buying their own bicycles instead. “I just don’t really like taking the train so I use Citi Bikes but at this point it just seems more affordable to get your own bike,” Travontae Gorman told The Post at a Manhattan charging bank location. “It’s going to equal out to two or three of these rides with the continued increase.” Harlem resident Blessing Watson,...
