New York Attorney General Letitia James lashed out Thursday at state leaders who are working to save lives from the coronavirus and abortions. The pro-abortion Democrat urged state and federal lawmakers to make sure elective abortions continue to be available and easily accessible during the health crisis, The Hill reports. Many states are ordering non-essential medical care to be postponed, but pro-abortion Democrat leaders have been carving out exceptions for abortions, even though they are elective and do not save lives. “To be clear, the coronavirus is not an excuse for federal, state, or local governments to curtail women’s reproductive...

Add Tennessee to the list of states where the governor has made it clear that abortion businesses must stop kiling babies in abortions because abortions are not “essential” medical care. On Monday, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee issued an order for all medical facilities to stop any non-essential medical care in order to preserve medical supplies to fight the coronavirus. Today, the governor said that order applies to abortion centers “The executive order was certainly crafted in order to provide [personal protective equipment] for health care” professionals involved in the coronavirus response, as well as ensure resources were available for those...

The lone abortion business in Maryland has been caught defying orders to stop killing babies in abortions under the state mandate to stop all non-essential medical procedures. As LifeNews.com reported, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves urged the state’s only abortion facility to close and comply with a state order postponing all elective medical procedures due to the coronavirus. According to a new report that has happened. The pro-life Republican governor said abortions should stop in the state, especially during the health crisis. Earlier, the state health department issued an order to stop all elective and unnecessary medical procedures so that medical...

Anonymous sources are the worst... except when they're right. Following the South Carolina primary victory, sources close to and within the Democratic National Committee told NOQ Report the power brokers behind the Democratic Establishment were working on getting the “moderate” candidates other than Joe Biden to drop out before Super Tuesday. Our editor (wisely?) chose not to run the story because we could not get anyone on the record and anonymous sources are generally anathema for news outlets that rely on incontrovertible facts. We don’t want to be CNN or the NY Times, after all. This time, the same two...

It is one of the darkest and most dramatic moments in recent Spanish history. In the chilling table of daily dead from the coronavirus pandemic, Spain has taken top position from Italy - with 738 dying over 24 hours. Spain is now the hotspot of the global pandemic, a ghoulish title that has been passed from country to country over four months – starting in Wuhan, China, and travelling via Iran and Italy. As it moves west, we do not know who will be next. What went wrong? Spain had seen what happened in China and Iran. It also has...

President Trump and Members of the Coronavirus Task Force hold news conference at 5 pm.

While we hope to never experience a revolution in our lifetime in America, it is important that we understand and learn from the revolutions of history. For part 1 of my series on revolutions, we are going to look at one of the defining revolutions in history — The French Revolution of 1789. Many today wrongly believe that the French Revolution was a success. By all measures, it was rather an abject failure, delaying France’s adoption of Democracy by more than one hundred years...

EXCLUSIVE: Attorney General William Barr on Thursday denied reports that the Department of Justice is seeking new emergency powers for itself amid the coronavirus outbreak that would suspend certain rights in criminal matters and potentially detain people indefinitely without trial, saying, “It's cockamamie nonsense.” "It's a gross mischaracterization," Barr told Fox News during a telephone interview. The Justice Department has faced a backlash from some lawmakers after news reports first surfaced this week saying the department was seeking to suspend certain rights: Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., tweeted, “More power to the so-called Attorney General? PASS.” Some Republicans pushed back...

Guest post by Cassandra Fairbanks at Big League Politics: A former Secret Service agent assigned to the Vice President Joe Biden residence claims that the Service often had to protect female agents from him. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the agent asserted that, “We had to cancel the VP Christmas get together at the Vice President’s house because Biden would grope all of our wives and girlfriend’s asses.” The annual party was for agents and Navy personnel who were tasked with protecting the Biden family. “He would mess with every single woman or teen. It was horrible,” the agent...

Hi all, I own a screenprinting/embroidery business...have lost a ton of business coming up due to cancellations of events. Has anything been set up to help those of us who are self employed? I know there are some loan options which are very constricting and a pain in the butt to get...was just wondering. Thanks!

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Earlier today, lawmakers had announced they had reached an agreement on a stimulus package, totalling approximately $88 bajillion dollars. (Many expressed concern that we would have to pay this back at some point, but congresspeople assured their constituents that it's just their kids and grandkids who will have to pay for our reckless spending.) But in a last-minute delay, Pelosi announced that she is out of souvenir pens to sign the bill and send it over to the president. "This is a somber emergency, of course, but it's important that I have a bunch of souvenirs to hand out...

In April 2017, we filmed the entire firing line at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot. There were some impressive firearms along the way– a whole lotta belt-fed and select-fire Freedom. Can you name all of them? Some of these guns are heavily modified, making them hard to recognize. In case you have questions, we have provided a list below with the correct(ish) answers. But don’t cheat! Unfortunately, the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot was canceled this spring as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. But, you can still enjoy the event by watching the short documentary we made about...

The USA case data now fits a logistic curve better than an exponential - and shows us within a few days of the inflection point, with 99%+ of the forecast total of 180K cases having happened by Easter Sunday.

In a secret speech given to high-level Communist Party cadres nearly two decades ago, Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Chi Haotian explained a long-range plan for ensuring a Chinese national renaissance. He said there were three vital issues that must be grasped. The first was the issue of living space—because China is severely overpopulated and China’s environment is deteriorating. The second issue, therefore, was that the Communist Party must teach the Chinese people to “go out.” By this, Chi meant the conquest of new lands, in which a “second China” could be built by “colonization.” From this, arose the third vital...

21 million cell phone accounts in China were cancelled after coronavirusSince the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus which emerged in China's Wuhan, the pandemic has killed 15,374 people globally and infected 351,731 individuals. Recently the death toll in Italy surpassed the initial epicentre of the outbreak in China, where officially 3,153 people have died due to the COVID-19. But recently Beijing authorities announced on March 19 that more than 21 million cell phone accounts were cancelled while in past three months 840,000 landlines were closed in China, which gives an idea that probably these closed numbers belonged to the people who...

BALTIMORE, MD—A new study by Johns Hopkins University found that the novel coronavirus is impacting men and women more than all the other genders combined. According to the study, 100% of coronavirus cases have affected men and women and not a single other gender. "It's incredible - we've found this virus is far more likely to affect biological males and biological females than any other biological gender," said Head of Gender Research Dr. Benji Charmin. "We thought the data had to be flawed, but we checked again and again, and sure enough, this thing is aggressively going after men and...
