It was a warm day in late August. I was helping others from our pregnancy help center set up a table at the welcome fair which our local state college hosts each year for incoming freshmen. As I arranged brochures, fetal models, and candy, I noticed something interesting. On the other side of the path, Planned Parenthood was setting up a table, too. At first, the placement of two entities with such vastly different philosophies seemed super awkward. But then I sensed the Holy Spirit prompting me to cross the divide and serve the women at that table. I introduced...

Joe Biden raised eyebrows Thursday night after telling a crowd made up mostly of Asian and Hispanic voters that “poor kids are just as bright” as “white kids.”

August 9 is the 45th anniversary of the resignation of Richard Nixon, the only president in American history to resign or be removed from office. We know what triggered his resignation. He was already on the ropes after two and a half years of Watergate revelations, but what ended any and all defense was the release of the “smoking gun” transcript on August 5. It showed that Nixon had concurred with his staff’s suggestion that they get the CIA to tell the FBI not to interview two Watergate witnesses. As astonishing as it may be to Americans, who have been...

If words lead to violence, are the Democrats trying to get Trump killed? I know we don’t talk about such things, but if the various Democratic presidential candidates say that irresponsible invective drives people to violence, I think it’s fair to ask if they’re trying to get Trump assassinated. Because they’re saying worse about him than he’s said about anybody. And theirs is driven by a rawer, less restrained and more rabid brand of personal hatred than we typically see in this society. We hear far worse directed at Trump than we’ve ever heard come out of Trump. And if...

Peter Strzok, the central figure in both the FBI’s burying of Hillary Clinton’s crimes and in carrying out the “insurance policy” of his lover, Lisa Page, to use the powers of the national security establishment to take out a U.S. presidential candidate, is strolling back in to FBI Headquarters these days as though it was just another day at the office. I am not making this up. “Strzok is in the (HQ) building all the time,” one FBI insider revealed, according to a recent media report at True Pundit. “He is taking meetings or part of meetings.” The article goes...

iHeartMedia will launch Conservative Talk “NewsRadio 1340” WRAW Reading PA on Monday, August 12 at 12pm. WRAW will feature a simulcast of the “RJ Harris Breakfast Show” from 580 WHP Harrisburg in mornings followed by syndicated talkers Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Buck Sexton. Limbaugh had aired in the market on 830 WEEU until this week. The current Spanish Tropical “Rumba” programming heard on WRAW will remain on 92.3 W222BY Laureldale, but now be fed by 102.5 WRFY-HD2. That translator was included in the thirteen facility swap between iHeartMedia and Educational Media Foundation earlier this week.

After the Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803, Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark to explore the Northwest from May 1804 to September 1806, meeting natives tribes along the way. Several years later, in 1831, three Nez Perce Indians and one Flathead Indian, traveled 2,000 miles, all the way from the Oregon Territory to St. Louis, Missouri, looking for the "Book to Heaven." The Bishop of St. Louis was Rev. Joseph Rosati (1789-1843), who later sent Pierre De Smet as one of the "Black robe" missionaries to the Indians. Bishop Rosati wrote in the Annals of the Association of the Propagation...

Here's why Democrats are beginning to realize that they have no chance in 2020!!!

When the New York Times dropped a factual headline because of partisan complaints (including criticism from several Democratic presidential candidates), it proved again that the liberal media is no longer even pretending to be an objective source of information. The front-page headline read “TRUMP URGES UNITY VS. RACISM” in the President's address in the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton. And this is exactly what he did. He decried “destructive partisanship” and declared "our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. ” He denounced "These barbaric slaughters [as] an...

Trying to reach Russ Thompson of Western NY (Grand Island) as I recall. Please contact this author via private message. re: your last gathering. Thank you.

Following the horrific El Paso and Dayton shootings, I boycotted media. As expected, Democrats and fake news media were despicably giddy, thrilled for another opportunity to push for disarming law-abiding gun owners and falsely demonizing Trump and his supporters. I boycotted media because was I could not stomach wimpy Republicans and #NeverTrumpers running to microphones to surrender to anti-American leftists' spin of the facts. I thought, “I am not going to allow cowards supposedly on our side to raise my blood pressure.” A case in point is John Kasich, who raced to the CNN microphones to further the insidious lie...

Washington • It is not just his stoking of white supremacist sentiment that makes Donald Trump such a dangerously unfit president. It’s also the corruption, the weakness, the ignorance, the incompetence and the stunning lack of empathy — all of which we saw this week on grotesque display. What kind of man visits two grieving communities, shattered by horrific mass shootings, and somehow makes it all about him? I covered the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 and had trouble sleeping for weeks afterward; colleagues of mine have had similar reactions to other massacres. Yet what apparently lingered with President Trump...

President Trump says he is having “serious discussions” with congressional leaders about “meaningful” background checks.

The following events did not take place in the Soviet Union or Cuba. None of this inhumanity was a figment of my imagination. I'm narrating the details without hyperbole. Recently, I took a ride through one amazingly affordable health care system — the one Obama and other notable Democrats paint as the "envy of the world." See how quickly you can figure out where this envy of the world dwells. Got your seat belt on? This liberal utopia is a bit bumpy. You enter a hospital emergency room. For two months prior, you suffered abysmal pain, unable to shower, straighten...

Whole Title: "New Jersey mayor vows to fight state law requiring public schools to teach LGBTQ curriculum and calls the plan 'an affront to almighty God' A New Jersey mayor referred to a plan to teach LGBTQ history in schools as 'an affront to almighty God' during a town council meeting. Barnegat Township Mayor Alfonso Cirulli made the comments on Tuesday evening after stating he opposed a state law that requires public schools to teach students the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. The 60-year-old former assistant principal referred to the law as 'unrighteous' and said it...

Just one day before he turned 45, Colin Dowler didn't think he'd live to celebrate it... the avid outdoorsman was scouting backcountry trails outside of Powell River, B.C., on his mountain bike, about seven kilometres away from a nearby logging camp. After making his way down one of the hills onto the logging road, he caught sight of a large male grizzly bear, walking in his direction. "I wasn't really sure what to do about the situation," Dowler said from his Vancouver hospital bed. "I largely stood there, and let the grizzly keep walking up towards me." Concerned of making...
