Beyond raw traffic numbers, Drudge has an outsized influence as a top referral source, with some sites on our list getting 10...

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 21, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — While the U.S. Senate continues to lag behind in confirming judicial nominations, President Donald Trump keeps his campaign promises by offering candidates for the U.S. Supreme Court that pro-lifers say are outstanding.
