“If, then, the courts of justice are to be considered as the bulwarks of a limited Constitution against legislative encroachments, this consideration will ­afford a strong argument for the permanent tenure of judicial offices,” argued Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78. If we needed a pristine example of why justices are bestowed lifetime appointments and shielded from the intimidation tactics of unethical politicians, Sen. Chuck Schumer has now provided us with one. Speaking to pro-abortion protesters in front of the Supreme Court this week, the Senate minority leader threatened — there’s no other way to put it — two sitting...

Game on!

If someone had simply stopped and double-checked some math, they might have saved MSNBC’s Brian Williams and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay some embarrassment Thursday night. Instead, both Williams and Gay marveled on air in reaction to a Twitter user’s post about Mike Bloomberg’s campaign spending. Trouble is, the post had gotten the math all wrong – yet neither Williams nor Gay seemed to notice.

From dp0622 | 03/05/2020 9:23:13 PM PST new I will send an update to all on Farmer Dean after I talk to him in the next few days. I DID speak to him some days ago AFTER the prayer request thread and he’s going to be in the hospital for at least another month but he’s Definitely holding his own. Sepsis is the issue and he will be on antibiotics for at least another month. The hole in his colon has healed but will require surgery when he is strong enough as they think it will leak again with time...

March 06 2020 Friday of the First Week of Lent Reading 1 Ez 18:21-28 Thus says the Lord GOD: If the wicked man turns away from all the sins he committed, if he keeps all my statutes and does what is right and just, he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of the crimes he committed shall be remembered against him; he shall live because of the virtue he has practiced. Do I indeed derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? says the Lord GOD. Do I not rather rejoice when he turns from his...

Three Maryland residents have tested positive for coronavirus/COVID-19, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced Thursday evening. All three people with the virus live in Montgomery County — a married man and woman in their 70s and a woman in her 50s. All three are quarantined in their homes right now, are in good condition, and their symptoms are abating. All three cases are also travel-related. The patients returned home from a trip overseas on February 20. Health officials would not say Thursday evening where they traveled to. ... Hogan has declared a state of emergency to fast-track the response efforts and...

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- The death toll from COVID-19 jumped to 11 on Thursday with news that the passing of a 90-year-old woman was also linked to coronavirus. The update came a few hours after Gov. Jay Inslee said a state emergency declaration he issued will compel insurers to waive testing costs for those without their own private health care insurance. Inslee and Snohomish County officials provided additional details on how their agencies are responding in the wake of a deadly coronavirus that is now linked to the deaths of 11 people and 70 total cases reported across the state. At...

While we often hear the claim from abortion advocates, “No one likes abortion,” a new hashtag spreading across Twitter is proving that claim completely wrong. Activists are stepping forward to celebrate abortion using the #AbortionIsLove hashtag, discussing the ways they believe abortion is great for women, families, and the world. Many Twitter users are arguing that abortion somehow shows love for children, families, communities, and even the preborn children who are killed in abortions. It should surprise no one that this argument is being made by numerous abortionists. But does anyone truly believe that killing a preborn human being is...

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced a resolution on Thursday, along with 14 Senate Republicans, to censure Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for threatening Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

“Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is meeting with President Donald Trump to talk about amnesty for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) migrants if the Supreme Court cancels Barack Obama’s unilateral award of work permits to roughly 800,000 young foreign migrants, says a report in Politico.”

In a previous report, Live Action News documented a clinical trial which is recruiting children and adult women for late-term abortions from 13-22 weeks in the West African nation of Burkina Faso. Now, the abortion industry is targeting Latin American women in Colombia for a clinical trial dispensing the abortion pill from 13 to 18 weeks gestation. Both trials are sponsored by Gynuity Health Projects, which has been working to expand abortion. Currently, the abortion pill is only approved for abortion up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. The Colombia study, which has not yet begun to recruit, seeks to “evaluate...

Legislation announced on Thursday aimed at curbing the spread of online child sexual abuse imagery would take the extraordinary step of removing legal protections for tech companies that fail to police the illegal content. A separate, international initiative that was also announced takes a softer approach, getting the industry to voluntarily embrace standards for combating the material. The two measures come as tech companies continue to detect an explosion of abusive content on their platforms, and amid complaints that neither Congress nor the companies have been aggressive enough in stopping its spread. An investigation last year by The New York...

By any stretch of the imagination, the FOX news town hall for President Trump was a stunning success. That this comes as some sort of surprise to some is the question. Only those who have remained deliberately unaware could have been surprised. The 45th president was in his fine form for his roughly 58 minutes or so on screen. Those who thought that the team of Brett Baier and Martha MacCallum would somehow 'take the president down' were sadly mistaken. Indeed, some out there thought Martha might have a Meghan Kelly moment. First of all, that moment may have helped...

EAST SUSSEX, England, March 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A biological male in the United Kingdom pleaded guilty to assault after an attempted robbery last month, but he will not spend time in prison because a judge couldn’t determine whether to send the “transgender woman” to a male or female facility. Leila Le Fey, (also known as Layla Le Fey, Adam Hodgson, and Marcus Smith) pleaded guilty after threatening a man with a claw hammer in the course of attempting to steal wine from a Budgens store, the Daily Mail reported. It was only the latest of more than 50 offenses...

Service is intended to send strong message to once-a-decade Lambeth conferenceLGBT+ campaigners will hold a church service led by two high-profile married lesbian priests on the eve of the Lambeth conference, a once-a-decade assembly of Anglican bishops from around the world that is expected to be dominated by conflicts over sexuality and marriage. The move is likely to rile conservative bishops who maintain that homosexuality is a sin. An “inclusive” eucharist at a church in Canterbury will be presided over by the Rt Rev Mary Glasspool, the assistant bishop in New York. The preacher will be the Rev Canon Mpho...

The loan from the Vatican comes to honor the 850th anniversary of his martyrdom.Canterbury Cathedral is preparing to celebrate the 850th anniversary of the martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket, one of England’s most revered medieval saints. To honor the occasion, the Vatican has agreed to loan Canterbury a holy relic of the patron saint of the city of London: the bloodied garment he was believed to have worn at the time of his murder. The Guardian reports that the garment is a religious vestment known as a tunicle, an article of clothing similar in style to a dalmatic, which was...

One out of every ten Russian intends to observe the Lenten fast this year, according to the results of a new survey conducted by the All-Russian Center for Public Opinion Research.
