WASHINGTON, D.C.—Democrats such as Beto O’Rourke have proposed a number of new gun laws, such as universal background checks, a ban on magazines that hold more than ten bullets, and possibly even a “mandatory buyback” of some weapons such as AR-15s. While these laws are likely to be a headache for law-abiding gun owners, the nation’s murderous psychopaths aren’t quite certain how the laws will affect them. “The background check sounds concerning,” explained deranged murderer Steve Mason, known as “Murdering Steve” to his friends. “I would definitely fail it since I’m a well-known psychopath. But I’ve never actually purchased a...

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski appeared on Capitol Hill Tuesday as the first “witness” in Democrats’ crap “impeachment” inquiry into President Donald Trump, the most persecuted and least guilty president in two generations. There was a moment when Lewandowski let Democrats have it with both barrels, saying — truthfully — that if a Republican president had attempted a coup against a Democratic president, then that president would have been driven out of office by now and people who worked on his behalf would already be in jail. Boy, is he spot-on. Without a doubt, Trump has been treated worse...

Last week news broke that family members of the late South Bend, Indiana abortionist Ulrich George Klopfer had unearthed at his home in northern Illinois preserved remains of more than 2,000 unborn babies. This discovery came just months after a federal court injunction allowed the Texas-based abortion chain Whole Women’s Health to open a new center without the required state license in this Midwestern town where presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg serves as mayor. These developments raise myriad questions about Buttigieg’s support for Whole Women’s Health, which has a history of violating state laws regarding the disposal of fetal remains and...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Four Indiana lawmakers are demanding an investigation to determine if more than 2,000 medically preserved fetal remains found at the Illinois home of a former Indiana abortion doctor were illegally transported across state lines. State Rep.

The attorney general’s office hasn’t responded to a request for comment Monday.

Just ate a plant based "impossible whopper" from Burger King. They got the texture of a burger right but the burger leaves a nasty after taste and a nasty after smell.

Yesterday, the Allen County Right to Life held a press conference outside the Fort Wayne, Indiana, abortion facility previously owned and operated by the now-deceased Urich George Klopfer. During the half-hour media outreach, the speakers demanded an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the remains of thousands of aborted babies at Klopfer’s northern Illinois home. By day’s end, Indiana’s attorney general confirmed in a statement to The Federalist that a full investigation will be forthcoming, while the White House announced a call for a separate federal investigation. Late last week, an attorney for Klopfer’s family contacted the Will...

Don’t you love when lefties slam Christians as hokey fanatics, but cling to their progressive pieties with as much reverence and zeal? Comedian and usually anti-Christian comedian Sarah Silverman tried to show social media users that she too understands the Christian perspective so long as it relates to climate change. Silverman slammed conservatives for not seeing 15-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg as the Second Coming they all profess and wondered how Christians could champion Noah’s Ark, but not see the flood (climate change) in front of their very eyes. A message to a self-avowed “agnostic” whose weak ties to...
