  • Putin draws new red line on long-range missiles

    BBC ^ | Sep 13 | Steve Rosenberg, Russia Editor
    The headline in this morning’s Kommersant newspaper captured the drama. “Vladimir Putin draws his red line.” Will the West cross it? And, if it does, how will Russia respond? Speaking in St Petersburg, President Putin sent a clear warning to the West: don’t allow Ukraine to use your long-range missiles to strike Russian territory. Moscow, he said, would view that as the “direct participation” of Nato countries in the war in Ukraine. “It would substantially change the very essence, the nature of the conflict,” the Kremlin leader continued. “This will mean that Nato countries, the USA and European states, are...

    A duck rescuer who has spent nearly a decade saving and rehoming wild geese in Ohio has been inundated with calls from concerned Springfield residents amid allegations migrants are eating wild birds. Lisa Montgomery was shocked when she discovered the 'unusual' amount of birds which have disappeared in the region, and now has 'serious concerns' that they're being 'murdered for food.' Speaking to DailyMail.com, Lisa said the sheer number of birds disappearing of late has far exceeded past summers in the region....

  • Kimmel Tries To Use Harris Debate Performance To Mock Pro-Lifers

    Do you know how many eggs a woman has? If not, ABC’s Jimmy “non-sequitur” Kimmel believes you are not allowed to be pro-life because on Wednesday’s show, Kimmel and his liberal audience guffawed at self-described pro-lifers not being able to answer questions about female anatomy that they certainly would not be able to answer themselves. Kimmel teed up a man-on-the-street segment by hyping Tuesday night’s debate, “Kamala Harris forcefully defended a woman's right to choose last night, it was very effective, and it got me wondering about how much some of these people who seem to know what's best for...

An Associated Press investigation found Donald Asquith’s alleged assault last year happened just days after the CIA promised to crack down on sexual misconduct in its ranks....

    House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) said Thursday the FBI is withholding the information he requested about Minnesota governor Tim Walz’s trips to China and whether he interacted with Chinese Communist Party affiliates.... Now, Comer is expanding his investigation to include Walz’s ties to a Minnesota-based research facility that partnered with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab at the center of the leak-leak theory of Covid-19 origins. A Washington Examiner investigation earlier this month revealed that during his congressional tenure, Walz secured millions of funding for the Hormel Institute....

    No matter where you are in America, the second you pull off the freeway and step into a Black Bear Diner, you’re transported to bear country. Carved wooden bears beckon you inside the forest green-carpeted, log cabin-themed restaurant. As you feast on bear-sized portions of eggs and chicken fried steak, you might gaze upon ruffled window valances adorned with bears, a bear in a kayak hanging from the ceiling, or an enormous bear mural encircling a green vinyl booth in the corner. Pieces of artwork featuring bear puns are endless: “Welcome to the beary best food,” “Cave sweet cave,” “Who...
  • US House clears a largely bipartisan package of bills to counter China

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. House this week approved a sweeping package of bills to counter China’s influence, shoring up a largely bipartisan push to ensure America comes out ahead in the competition between the world’s superpowers. The efforts would ban Chinese-made drones, limit China-linked biotech companies from access to the U.S. market, strengthen sanctions and deepen ties with Asian countries. The campaign to target Beijing this week shows how curbing China’s power has emerged as a rare issue of political consensus.... One contentious measure seeks to revive a Trump-era program to root out Beijing’s spying in American universities and...

    MSNBC’s Morning Joe is the kind of “news” program that laments that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are supposedly portrayed as two equal candidates when, according to them, the latter is a lying liar who lies all the time and the former is just a normal candidate. However, for their Wednesday post-debate analysis, the assembled cast cheered Harris spreading fake news about pro-lifers, claiming the debate was “the most comprehensive beatdown” they’ve seen. Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson claimed, “It was just the most comprehensive beatdown I have ever seen on a debate stage and I'm including the Trump-Biden debate...

    On the night of the debate – when late-term abortions would again be dismissed as a phony issue – NBC Nightly News ran a promotional piece about Colorado late-term abortionist Warren Hern, who has been a radical pro-abortion crank for 50 years. Lester Holt began: “And tonight we visit one state where women are traveling to obtain a rare and often misunderstood form of the procedure later in pregnancy.” It’s “often misunderstood” when you kill a baby in utero with an injection to the heart and then remove the corpse. Reporter Dasha Burns promoted abortion in this one-sided piece, focused...
  • PBS: Trump Calling Out Walz's Radical Abortion Stance Is 'Extraordinarily Stupid'

    During Tuesday night’s debate with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump called out Tim Walz’s extremely radical and, frankly, diabolical abortion stance as governor of Minnesota, but for PBS’s Christiane Amanpour, the fact that Trump even brought it up made him “very, very extreme,” while her panel labeled it "extraordinarily stupid." Amanpour styles herself as a journalist, but when abortion comes up for discussion, she becomes a full-on activist, “So, women were front and center. That as, an issue, was, you know, really something very important. The idea that women in America have now been denied their rights over their own bodies,...

    New York Times media reporter Michael Grynbaum made Wednesday’s paper with the smugly confident post-presidential debate “Media Memo,” “ABC’s Matter-of-Fact Moderators Built Factual Guardrails Around Trump.” Fifteen minutes into Tuesday’s debate, former President Donald J. Trump was delivering a circuitous answer about his stance on abortion rights when he made a statement with no basis in reality: that a governor had condoned executing babies after birth. Linsey Davis, one of the evening’s moderators from ABC News, did not let that one slide. “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,”...

    CV NEWS FEED // Women who end their pregnancies with abortion pills are significantly more likely to report to an emergency room with severe medical issues than women who have surgical abortions or live births, according to new data primarily authored by a researcher with the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute. The research, primarily conducted by researchers from the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute, was published in August and compared hundreds of women’s emergency room (ER) visits between 2004 and 2015. The researchers categorized the women into four groups. Three were comprised of women who had had a chemical abortion, surgical abortion,...

    A rising number of young women in New York City are joining gangs and getting involved in gun violence, marking a disturbing shift. Instead of attending prom and graduation, their social events now revolve around shootings and funerals. The surge in teen girls using guns has sparked a response from female crime fighters determined to bring them to justice and help them turn their lives around before more lives are lost. "Some of them are afraid. Some are forced to do it. Some of them are just curious, you know, they like the bad boys so they want to run...

    Haitian immigrants are not eating cats. But you know what the GOP says: Don't let the truth get in the way of a racist joke.In what ought to be a headline in The Onion but is instead a clear reminder of the deplorable state of political discourse from MAGA world, the Arizona Republican Party has launched a billboard campaign declaring that only the GOP opposes eating kittens. I wish this was just monkeyshines, but it’s very, very real. The billboards, which ape the iconic Chik-fil-A billboards featuring cows encouraging people to eat chicken sandwiches instead of hamburgers, are quite insane....
