Live Action News recently reported on a disturbing Snapchat story from Teen Vogue instructing teens on how to get an abortion without parents’ permission or knowledge. The snaps were posted last weekend following an article by the same name. In the article, advice columnist Nona Willis Aronowitz responded to the question, “I’m 16, I’m pregnant, and I don’t want to be. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to get an abortion without my parents’ permission, but I’m really scared to tell them because they are both against abortion. What should I do?” Is this a real question from a 16-year-old?...

We're on a Mississippi cruise from Minneapolis to New Orleans. Going to write a little synopsis after we get home. Today we spent touring St. Louis and was amazed. What a vibrant, busy, active and accommodating city. So much so I wanted to post this tiny bit. One could come here and spend a week touring in a lot more detail. I don't have my laptop on much so I might not be able to respond to entries but can read them on my tablet.

Despite being one of the poorest nations in the world, Afghanistan may be sitting on one of the richest troves of minerals in the world, valued at nearly $1 trillion, scientists say. Afghanistan, a country nearly the size of Texas, is loaded with minerals deposited by the violent collision of the Indian subcontinent with Asia. The U.S. Geological Survey began inspecting what mineral resources Afghanistan had after U.S.-led forces drove the Taliban from power in the country in 2004.

Investigative reporter John Solomon from The Hill joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning. The two discussed John Solomon’s latest interview with CIA operative Joseph Mifsud’s attorneys. According to Mr. Mifsud’s attorneys their client was working for the CIA and was NOT a Russian operative as reported by the Mueller witch hunt team of liars. Maria Bartiromo: We know that there were informants thrown at certain Trump campaign people, like George Papadopoulos. George Papadopoulos was on this show and he told me directly on this show that Mifsud was the guy they wanted him to meet in Italy…...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) grandmother hit back at President Trump this week for calling her the “real winner” after Tlaib chose not to visit her in Israel. “Trump tells me I should be happy Rashida is not coming,” Muftia Tlaib reportedly said. “May God ruin him.”

FULL TITLE: Book Store Closes Down So It Won’t Have to Collect Taxes for New York, Which Legalized Abortions Up to Birth New York bookstore owner Jon Speed made national news in January with his protest of a radical new pro-abortion law in his state. Speed closed his bookstore, The Book Scout in Syracuse, for a day so that he would not have to collect state sales taxes to support the killing of unborn babies. Now, he plans to close his business completely and leave the state. In a post Thursday on Facebook, he blamed the “tyranny of the state”...

Ben Howe is angry at evangelicals. As he describes it, he is angry that they didn’t just vote for Donald Trump in record numbers, but repeatedly provide moral cover for his outrageous failings. He is angry that leaders of the religious right, who long claimed to be the champions of American morality, appear to have gladly traded their values for power. He is angry that Christians claim they support the president because they want to end abortion or protect religious liberty, when supporting Trump suggests that what they really want is a champion who will mock and crush their perceived...

Nothing brings together Americans quite like tragedy. And that's exactly what happened in El Paso, Texas on Friday when Antonio Basco held a funeral for his wife of 22 years, Margie Reckard. She was killed during the El Paso shooting earlier this month and had no other relatives in the area besides her husband.Antonio invited strangers, anyone who was willing to pay their respects to his beloved wife, to her funeral. A Twitter post by CBS' David Begnaud went viral with the invite. This is Antonio Basco.His wife of 22 years, Margie, was murdered in El Paso.Mr. Basco says he...

Because the race-baiting sycophants in the Left-wing “mainstream” media don’t believe they have divided America enough, the ‘woke’ editorial staff at The New York Times is embarking on a project to push our country closer to the abyss. Under the auspices of something called “The 1619 Project,” the Times seeks to rebrand history and make the issue of slavery central to America’s founding. The title of the initiative makes reference to the 400th anniversary of the arrival of black slaves to lands later to be collectively known as the United States. And the Times is clear about its objective: “It...

The term "midlife crisis" was coined by psychoanalyst Elliott Jaques in 1965. The English language somehow made do without that phrase for the previous six hundred years, yet today, could we get along without it? In 1900, the average American male life expectancy was 47. In 1965, it was 67. An additional two decades of existence: More time to ruminate about your time running out. In this as in so many instances, art preceded (social) science: The then-nameless male midlife crisis had been explored before, through farce (1955's The Seven Year Itch), then high-brow literature (John Cheever's classic 1964 story...

Former Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson died late Saturday night, according to a report from the Austin American-Statesman’s Tony Plohetski. Benson, 36, was involved in a motorcycle crash with a minivan in northwest Austin, where he played college football at Texas, that left him and another person dead plus two others injured.

For decades, the wealthy, suburban county – about 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles – has been a conservative stronghold in a state that has become increasingly liberal. But since the 2018 midterm elections, the so-called “Orange Curtain” has come down and Democrats have made huge gains in an area once dominated by Republicans.

reedom of movement by European Union nationals into the UK will end overnight from October 31 in the event of a no deal Brexit, Priti Patel has signalled. Theresa May's government had wanted to crack down on freedom of movement as soon as possible after the UK left once new legislation had passed through Parliament.

“There was a day a couple of weeks ago where we had a pilot up in the air and a tour company who was out looking for sharks also had a pilot up in the air,” she said. “Our pilot was sending sightings in to us, and we were reporting them to the beaches and via the Sharktivity app and the other pilot was also doing that. So we had more eyes, we had more effort out there, we had two pilots out there, and because of that we were reporting a higher number of sightings."

Roving, cop-hating mobs erupted in violence, taunts and gunfire in Brooklyn overnight into Sunday, leaving three officers with minor injuries. At least some of the injuries were caused by “air mail,” objects thrown down at cops from rooftops, police at the scene in Bedford-Stuyvesant told The Post. By early Sunday, 11 people had been arrested on charges of disorderly conduct. The violence came after a series of water dousing attacks on NYPD officers throughout the city this summer.

FULL TITLE: Rashida Tlaib Suggests HBO Boycott After Bill Maher Calls Antisemitic BDS Campaign a ‘Bulls*it Purity Test’ Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) suggested a boycott of HBO after the network’s host Bill Maher ripped the anti-Israel “boycott, divestment, sanctions” (BDS) movement and called it a “bullshit purity test.” “BDS is a bullshit purity test by people who want to appear woke but actually slept through history class,” Bill Maher said Friday. “It’s predicated on this notion, I think — it’s very shallow thinking — that the Jews in Israel, mostly white, and the Palestinians are browner, so they must be innocent...

Nothing says “welcome to the third world” quite like entering Jasper County, South Carolina on Interstate 95. Traveling from Georgia, the highway narrows from six lanes to four lanes – with rusty guardrails flanking the roadside. Trash is everywhere, greeting visiting motorists as they pass through a 1990s-era stucco display that might as well be the entrance to a drug kingpin’s barn – or a trailer park. Which … is fitting. Traffic grinds to a slow crawl, then proceeds in stop-and-go fashion for the next fifty miles. Worst of all is the pavement – which resembles an Afghan airstrip following...

n California at least, one is struck by the contrast between the fastidious attention paid to the social duty of scooping up and disposing of dog feces, and the rather more paralyzed and guilty reaction to the plague of human feces. The former is treated as a moral imperative among the enlightened—and the thin plastic bags used as the means to this moral end have so far escaped the fate of plastic straws, well on their way to being outlawed as an environmental outrage. Even social-justice warriors don’t consider it their personal duty, however, to tidy up after their fellow...
