In 1973, abortion became a federal right because of the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Roe v. Wade. Since then, there have been approximately 65 million preborn children — and that means there are tens of millions of bodies which need to be disposed of by the abortion industry. What happens to all of them? Jonathon Van Maren, a writer, public speaker, and pro-life activist, raised this question in an op-ed for The Stream. He wrote: During a panel on abortion victim photography, someone asked us for a question we could ask that would highlight the magnitude of what abortion...

Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois teenager charged with killing two men during the Jacob Blake protests in Wisconsin this summer, made bail on Friday and walked out of jail, officials said. "Kyle Rittenhouse's bond was posted this afternoon at about 2:00 pm which was set up through his attorney," Kenosha County Sheriff's Sgt. David Wright said in a statement. "He is no longer in custody at the Kenosha County Jail."

Back in 2014, I worked freelance for a public relations firm in New York City. It was there that I met an unusual woman. I didn’t know many lawyers or Texans, but I knew better than to chalk up her qualities to either her profession or her home. It’s rare that I encounter someone who I’m afraid to argue with, because of her sheer brain power and towering personal rectitude. But this was such a person. This woman had quite a career behind her. An evangelical Christian, she’d been a federal prosecutor — and quit, outraged at the corruption she...

Two of Donald Trump’s least-favorite critics — comedienne Rosie O’Donnell and the president’s tell-all niece, Mary Trump — have recently become friends and are now joining forces to criticize him together. The two will be featured speakers on Tuesday at an online panel titled, “A Fireside chat with Mary L. Trump and Rosie O’Donnell — Trump, the Transition of Power & the next 60+ days until Inauguration.” The panel is being hosted by Lesbians Who Tech, a community of LGBTQ women who work “in and around tech (and the people who support them,” as their website explains. O’Donnell and Trump...

Columbia Engineering researchers decided to investigate whether this was true, whether these forests are really as sensitive to water stress as what the models have been showing. In a study published today in Science Advances, they report their discovery that these models have been largely over-estimating water stress in tropical forests. The team found that, while models show that increases in air dryness greatly diminish photosynthesis rates in certain regions of the Amazon rainforest, the observational data results show the opposite: in certain very wet regions, the forests instead even increase photosynthesis rates in response to drier air.

Yeah, funny how all talk about the stimulus to help people just suddenly ended. The media is not talking about it either. NO ONE at the top cares about any of us. We are so stupid for worrying about who is in office anywhere and start doing something about all of this. Really.

Trump railed against voting by mail during the election campaign, saying that it led to fraud. He repeated his claims for election fraud in a speech where he declared victory in the presidential race on November 4th “We’ll be going to the US Supreme Court.” He also appeared to conflate voters casting ballots with election officials counting those ballots. “We want all voting to stop,” the president said. “We don’t want them to find any ballots at 4 o’clock in the morning and add them to the list.” President Trump’s campaign returned to the Supreme Court on Wednesday to try...

Walmart is opening two new “Walmart Health” centers in Chicago neighborhoods marred earlier this year by rioting and unrest triggered by police brutality as part of a “renewed commitment to a city that has been through a lot,” the giant retailer said Friday. The health centers, which feature an array of primary medical services as part of a new model being replicated across the country, are located on Chicago’s under-served neighborhoods on the city’s South and West sides. (snip) “(Friday), we opened two new Walmart Health locations, adjacent to two newly-remodeled Walmart Supercenters, in the Chicago neighborhoods of Chatham and...

Praise our Heavenly Father, for giving us His Son, who is a spiritual lion that appears to sleep, but is only longsuffering, like the Father, for the sake of His children. And the wise who are lost see Him and soon grow afraid, and turn back to the Lord. And the prodigals get tired of living in constant dread around the lion, and eventually they turn back to Him, too. But the wicked grow only more bold in sinning as, in their eyes, the lion continues to sleep, and might even be dead, until one day, the lion’s eyes open...

After years of being censored on Facebook and Twitter, conservatives, libertarians, and other fans of free speech are making a mass exodus to new platforms. One that has really taken off since the election is Parler, which has been the most downloaded app in the country over the past two weeks. Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media and left-wing extremists are outraged. How dare the people who have been censored, deplatformed, and shut down on their social media sites move to a site that promises not to treat them like pariahs? (By the way, you can find me on Parler here: @daisyluther...

1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a...

Oprah Winfrey said goodbye to the monthly print version of O Magazine. In a heartfelt letter on the O Magazine site on Tuesday, Winfrey shared her vision for her lifestyle magazine that was started 20 years ago, noting that it was a "bigger dream" than she had originally dreamed. "With O, I wanted to create a manual for living life to the fullest: stories, photographs, reflections, poems, quotes, essays, and interviews that would bring meaning, comfort, and joy to our readers," she wrote. "And if I do say so myself, we’ve fulfilled that intention through 245 issues." Winfrey confirmed in...

Idiot King Obama Has Thoughts and StuffThis guy, amirite?While hundreds of thousands of words are being written every day right now about President Trump being unwilling to just step aside and let Joe Biden have his moment in the sun, none of the MSM hacks writing those words are mentioning the fact that Joe’s old boss Barack Obama is everywhere these days.The Lightbringer released a new book just a couple of weeks after the election and there is no way that was coincidental. Obama is a malignant narcissist who probably shrinks into nothingness when he is in a room that...
