On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that it’s wrong to argue that pro-life people are sexist, and pro-lifers believe abortion is “murder, and it kind of is. I’m just okay with that. I am. There [are] 8 billion people in the world, I’m sorry, we won’t miss you. That’s my position on that.” Provost of King’s College, Cambridge and Financial Times columnist Gillian Tett said that it’s odd that abortion is such a big political issue when there are other issues.

Britain should offer free abortions to American women who can no longer get them legally, UK doctors have said. The British Medical Association (BMA) has agreed to lobby the Government on the issue following the US supreme court's decision to overturn the Roe v Wade ruling. That highly controversial move ends American women's legal right to have abortions and leaves it up to individual states to decide if they are lawful. Foreign patients are able to have abortions in the UK currently but can be charged up to £1,500, depending on how far along a woman is in her pregnancy....

God Bless Oklahoma! Think Arizona almost did something horrible? Well "Oklahoma is doing it anyway," Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even one county in the 2016 election...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said on Wednesday that she does not want to hear the “coup-supporting GOP talk about ‘blue lives’ ever again” in the wake of the Capitol protests, concluding that Republicans care more about “preserving the social order and the mythology of whiteness” than democracy. “I don’t want to hear these coup-supporting GOP talk about ‘blue lives’ ever again,” the New York lawmaker told her 11.5 million Twitter followers Wednesday afternoon.

ORLANDO, Fla. — A second family has alleged that a Universal Orlando actor dressed as a “Despicable Me” character flashed an "okay" hand sign, which is known to symbolize white supremacy, while posing with a 5-year-old Hispanic girl. Attorneys for the girl’s family said it happened last February, five weeks before a person dressed as the same character, Gru, displayed the same sign while taking photos with two biracial children at a Universal Orlando breakfast at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort. The incident during the breakfast was first reported in October, after the family released the photo and said they...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump To those many millions of people in Iraq who want freedom and who don’t want to be dominated and controlled by Iran, this is your time! 10:44 AM · Dec 31, 2019

Note: For reasons explained below, particular caution must be used when evaluating this symbol. The “okay” hand gesture—in which the thumb and index finger touch while the other fingers of the hand are held outstretched—is an obvious and ancient gesture that has arisen in many cultures over the years with different meanings. Today, in a usage that dates to at least as early as 17th century Great Britain, it most commonly signals understanding, consent, approval or well-being. Since the early 1800s, the gesture increasingly became associated with the word “okay” and its abbreviation “ok.” In 2017, the “okay” hand gesture...

The ACLU and Taylor Swift are squaring off after the singer tried to get an article detailing how white supremacy movements have embraced her lyrics and music videos, and how her silence has exacerbated the matter, pulled from a website. On Monday, the ACLU sent a letter to Swift's legal team arguing that an article posted by PopFront that links the star to the white supremacy movement should not be taken down -- as Swift has requested -- because the writer has the right to free speech.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will soon approve the construction of hundreds of new housing units in West Bank settlements before he declares a moratorium on building in those locales, according to a senior government source. The source from the prime minister's bureau said last night that Netanyahu informed U.S. officials of his decision to authorize the construction a few weeks ago.

Hillary Clinton is still in the presidential race, she said today, because "historically, it makes no sense" to quit, and added that, "Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June," making an odd comparison between the dead candidate and Barack Obama.

Al Qaeda terrorists are attempting to provoke a war between the United States and Iran in the hopes that they will "take each other out," a Middle East analyst said Thursday. "The al Qaeda organization sees Iran as one of its great enemies," Bruce Reidel, a senior fellow with the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, said during a conference call briefing. This was because al Qaeda - "a very strict Sunni Islamist organization" - views Iran's Shia faith as apostasy, he said. "What al Qaeda in Iraq now most fears is not the continuing deployment...

I loost my mind, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa . . .

I got this in an email today, so it's a vanity post. I don't know if this was posted in another form already or not, but I thought it was worth another read even if it has been posted before. THE "ROBIN WILLIAMS" PEACE PLAN I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan. 1. The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Noriega, Milosovich and the rest of those good ol' boys:...

First she gave Madonna an open-mouth kiss, now peppery provocateur Britney Spears says she's a "little bitter" about men. But she's not a lesbian, she insists. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The 21-year-old pop princess opens her mouth again to Newsweek, in which she pouts a lot about Justin Timberlake bedding her and blabbing about it. "It was really hard," she said of her breakup with the 'N Sync heartthrob. "There was a time when I was like, 'Okay, I'm over men. They're mean.'" The gum-smacking chart-topper said she swore off men for six months after her split...
