Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R-FL) presidential bid will have to deal with “gay folks” rising up and fighting for what they need. Discussing DeSantis’ presidential announcement, Goldberg said, “He has to work on, be articulate, so we know what you’re talking about. I don’t understand. I didn’t know what he was saying. Look, you know what, this idea of announcing on Twitter. I’m old and I’m okay being old, do that on television. Okay? I want to see you do it on television. I want to see you actually take...

The pro-abortion group RiseUp4AbortionRights, which has been disrupting churches and large gatherings for weeks, is now being denounced by 13 other pro-abortion organizations who allege RiseUp is a “cult and pyramid scheme.” Live Action News previously documented that while the name RiseUp4AbortionRights was launched in January 2022, it is actually a rebranded version of the revolutionary pro-abortion group, Stop Patriarchy, which is led by activists Sunsara Taylor, Lori Sokol, and millionaire abortionist Merle Hoffman. The group has been behind multiple disruptions at churches and public gatherings across the nation. In 2014, a separate group, Texans for Reproductive Justice, published a...

Distilleries just learned that to cap off a brutal year, the FDA is charging them a fee normally reserved for drug manufacturing facilities. For many American craft distillers, 2020 was already one of their worst years ever. The COVID-19-related closure of tasting rooms and cocktail bars, loss of tourism, and inability to offer in-store sampling slashed their sales revenue and cut them off from their customers. Then this week, just as it seemed they'd made it through the worst of a terrible year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had one more surprise in store: The agency delivered notice to...

The cafeteria food fight, also known as the Senate impeachment trial, is underway. I, like most Americans outside the Beltway and the political bubble, know this is like watching a movie where you already know the ending. Trump will rightfully be acquitted. The Democrats do not realize that America is tired of their political antics and high drama tactics. I mean come on, they walked over the articles of impeachment like a bunch of mopes, feigning seriousness, while many Americans either yawned or laughed. The rest of the country is more interested in what happened recently in the gun-grabbing...

by Jenn Carter President Donald Trump on Saturday denied a stunning New York Times report claiming the U.S. is ramping up cyber attacks against Russia, calling the decision to run the article a “virtual act of treason.” According to the Times, the U.S. is increasingly targeting Russia’s electric power grid and has even gone as far as to install debilitating code inside it. The operation is the first of its kind, according to the newspaper, which also claimed two administration officials said President Donald Trump is believed not to have been briefed on the mission. Reacting to the report in a...

I have deliberately tried not to read the articles and comments of the last couple of days since President Trump’s announcement on the deal to end the government shutdown. The reason being was the kind of negative comments and wailing that the President had caved and no longer deserved our support. I flatly reject that argument. None of can truly know the immense pressure the President was under to find a way to end this imbroglio. I, like many, had hoped that the President could tough it out and get the Border Wall Funding that is needed. The truth is...

"We had already learned about the involvement of Movements.org in the current Egyptian unrest, sponsored by our own State Dept. and sponsors like MSNBC, Twitter, Facebook and many more. We were already aware that Movements.org was founded by former State Dept. employee Jared Cohen, now with Google, as well as Howcast’s Jason Liebman and Gen Next’s Roman Tsunder. What we didn’t know is that they are actually referring young activists from around the globe to a radical, anarchist site advocating the end of capitalism and offering secret, secure online networking to work towards this goal."

Based upon the thousands of American citizens taking to the streets at Tea Parties and Town Hall's across the country, in protest to the outright theft of their nation by far left extremists now in control of all three branches of the Fed, I'd say it's safe to assume that the American people are finally awake... But knowing what's going on and stopping it are two very different things. Being willing to act and being committed to winning at any cost are also two very different things. American citizens are finally awake and they are beginning to take action against...

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called on the public to rise up in opposition over David Letterman's "degrading" jokes about her daughter this week.

TEHRAN, May 2 (AFP) - A leading Iranian conservative cleric said Friday the Iraqi people have no other choice but to rise up against occupying US troops and stage suicide attacks to force them out of Iraq. "The Iraqi people are finally coming to understand that the solution is an uprising, and they have no other choice but to rise up and stage martyrdom operations," said Ahmad Janati, secretary general of the Guardians Council, in a sermon during Friday prayers. "This is the only solution; they are learning from the experience of Palestine," he added. "What we want from them...
