London, England, Jun 21, 2019 / 11:15 am (CNA).- A British judge has authorized doctors to perform an abortion on a pregnant Catholic woman with developmental disabilities and a mood disorder, despite the objections of the woman’s mother and the woman herself. The woman is 22 weeks pregnant. “I am acutely conscious of the fact that for the State to order a woman to have a termination where it appears that she doesn't want it is an immense intrusion,” said Justice Nathalie Lieven in her ruling in the Court of Protection, June 21. “I have to operate in [her] best...

Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost spoke to Congress on Thursday about the immigration crisis, and how it’s keeping agents from apprehending migrants who cross the border illegally. “I have been forced to divert 40% to 60% of Border Patrol’s manpower away from the border as we process and care for nearly 435,000 [families] and children that have flooded across our southern border so far this year,” Provost said Thursday before the House Homeland Security subcommittee on border security, facilitation, and operations.

A North Carolina mom inspired by the movie “Wedding Crashers” allegedly tried to poison her fiancé with eye drops in order to “incapacitate” him, officials said. Jaymee Cruz, 31, faces charges after she tried to make her partner sick so she could take the couple’s 6-month-old daughter from their Salisbury home without his interference on Saturday, news station WBTV reported. She told police that she watched the scene from “Wedding Crashers” the night before where Vince Vaughn encourages Owen Wilson’s character to spike Bradley Cooper’s drink with Visine.

In the latest and most egregious example of attempted government overreach, California legislators have proposed a bill that would dictate what pastors preach from the pulpit. Specifically, Assembly Concurrent Resolution 99 calls on ‘counselors, pastors, religious workers, educators’ and institutions with ‘great moral influence’ to stop perpetuating the idea that something is wrong with LGBT identities or sexual behavior. ACR 99 also condemns attempts to change unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion as ‘unethical,’ ‘harmful,’ and leading to high rates of suicide.”

George Nader has a long history of being a pedophile that stretches back until at least 1984. Democrats have forgotten his past, considering he was a key player in the phony Russian-collusion investigation. Unlike many other politicians that have been accused of such, George Nader has been ensnared in multiple court cases involving child pornography. The paper trail of this behavior starts back in 1984, when the US Post Office discovered that Nader was ordering magazines that depicted underage boys performing sexual acts.

Andrew Weissmann, a top prosecutor in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, has signed a book deal with publishing giant Random House, according to The New York Times and CNN. The reports of Weissmann's book deal come more than two months after the redacted version of the Mueller report was made available to the public in April. With the deal, Weissmann would be the first special counsel team member to provide a behind-the-scenes account of the nearly two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

On Thursday, the conservative wing of the Supreme Court called into question the whole project of modern American governance. In Gundy v. United States, which concerned the constitutionality of a law requiring the registration of sex offenders, four of the more conservative justices endorsed a controversial legal theory according to which Congress lacks the power to delegate broad powers to agencies like the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Heath and Human Services. For now, the four more-liberal justices have brushed back the challenge, ruling 5 to 3, with Justice Samuel Alito, that Congress can give to the...

MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt misidentified Joe Biden’s Democrat segregationist pals on Wednesday as Republicans. While teasing a segment about the uproar over the former vice president bragging about being able to do business with racist segregationists, Hunt, a far-left activist and MSNBC hostess, spread this fake news: Still to come, Joe Biden references his relationships with two former Republican colleagues at an event in New York City. The only problem? They were both segregationists. Actually, the only problem is that they were both Democrats, but other than that, great job Real NewsLady. What makes Hunt’s fake news especially egregious is that...

“We have . . . almost half the people in the United States living in poverty.” — Former vice president Joe Biden, in remarks at the Poor People’s Campaign presidential forum, June 17, 2019 What does it mean to be poor? Biden took an expansive view at a presidential candidate forum hosted by anti-poverty advocates. The Census Bureau calculates the poverty rate in different ways. Using the official poverty measure, 12.3 percent of U.S. residents were below the federal poverty line in 2017. Using the supplemental poverty measure, the rate was 13.9 percent. Biden says it’s much more: almost half the country....

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin warned on Friday that Iran’s financial system will soon face additional penalties if the nation doesn’t comply with international guidelines to combat money laundering. Mnuchin’s remarks at a 2019 summit for the Financial Action Task Force, an international organization with a mandate to police money-laundering and the financing of terrorist networks... Trump added that “sanctions are biting” Iran’s economy and that additional penalties were “added last night.” The latter remark was a reference to the FATF’s warnings

... In addition to being a victory for property owners, Knick v. Township of Scott is also notable for featuring some sharp words from Justice Clarence Thomas directed at the federal government. As Thomas noted in a concurring opinion, the U.S. solicitor general filed an amicus brief in the case which argued that "the failure to provide contemporaneous compensation for a taking does not violate the Fifth Amendment if the government has provided an adequate mechanism for obtaining just compensation." What's wrong with that? Here is a sample of Thomas' rather pointed rebuke to the federal government: The United States…urges...

For more than a year we’ve known that Obama’s secretary of state and longtime U.S. senator, John Kerry, has been attempting to undermine President Donald Trump’s foreign policy with the Islamic republic of Iran. In May 2018, we posed the question: “What is John Kerry doing talking to the Iranians?” We noted: Reports … revealed that former Obama Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to ‘save’ the Iran nuclear deal he helped negotiate by holding secret meetings with Iranian diplomats. The Boston Globe reported that Kerry began his secret meetings as reports spread that President Donald J. Trump was...

Liliya Novikova, who was a well-known member of the online poker playing community, was found by an elderly neighbor, according to Russian media reports, dead in her bathroom. Russia’s Investigative Committee (SK) was cited by BBC as saying the 26-year-old’s death was due to electrocution. “During the initial examination, traces of an electrical injury were found on the victim’s body,” a source told the Russian news agency TASS, as cited by CNN. Russia Today corroborated the report that Novikova suffered an electric shock while using a...

<p>These quotes by Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, reveal the wicked roots of the abortion movement and expose the twisted mindset behind the present-day Culture of Death. In her own words, Sanger peddles racism, eugenics, contraception, abortion, while demonstrating a visceral hatred for children, parenthood, marriage and the Catholic Church.</p>

RUSH: Speaking of Cuba, I happen to have a story here from the Wall Street Journal in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers: “Cuba Ration Lines Grow Tense as Economy Flails.” But the people there are not gonna overthrow anybody. They don’t have any means to do so and they’re too hungry! They don’t even have the energy to do it! This is socialism on crack! Cuba is now breeding ostriches to feed the starving masses. Cuba now is telling its people that the “steaks,” quote-unquote, that they buy are delicious and nutritious. They’re actually made of dried grapefruit, folks. The Cuban...
