While we wait for final vote counts in the race for President and several House races too close to call, it’s clear that the Senate will be a crucial firewall for the pro-life movement to block the pro-abortion agenda that would be pushed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats and promoted by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, if this pro-abortion duo wins the election. As it stands, Republicans will hold 50 seats to the Democrats’ 48. These numbers underscore the critical importance of the two Georgia Senate runoff elections. Under Georgia law, if a single candidate does not secure...

AMID DELAYED AND inconsistent results of the vaunted Iowa Caucuses, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez on Thursday made a stunning call for a recount of the entire state.

The Communist government of Vietnam has threatened to ban Facebook if it doesn't step up its censorship of content critical of the government. At stake is an estimated billion dollars a year in revenue to Facebook. It's not like Facebook hasn't been assiduously editing out or blocking anti-government statements. "We made an agreement in April," said a Facebook spokesman. "We upheld our end of the agreement, and we expected the government of Vietnam to do the same, but now they want to exert even more control over us. It's like they never heard of freedom of the press." Minister of...

On Friday, the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a ruling allowing a portion of Tennessee’s 2020 pro-life legislation, signed into law by Governor Bill Lee, to take effect. The Court ruled on parts of the legislation that are collectively referred to as the “reason bans” because they prohibit abortions for certain reasons. Those reasons include aborting due to a prenatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome, or because the preborn child is not the gender or race that the mother or both parents wanted. The abortion providers’ lawsuit requested an injunction preventing the enforcement of the reason bans while...

Cleveland, OH – A 22-year old woman reported to a scheduled abortion appointment at Preterm in Cleveland, Ohio, when she began to feel ill. She and her friend were seen entering the clinic, but moments later left and returned to their car, according to pro-life activist Fred Sokol, who was on the scene and photographed the incident. The 911 call recording, obtained by Operation Rescue, showed that a sobbing and hysterical woman had suffered symptoms that caused the emergency dispatcher to screen her for a possible stroke. The 911 call, placed on August 19, 2020, was so chaotic, it took...

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who...

Democrat New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy was confronted by several angry people as he ate outside a restaurant with his family, a video posted Sunday shows. ... The video showed Murphy taking a bite of food as a woman said, “Oh my God, it is,” apparently discovering that the person sitting at the table was indeed the governor of New Jersey. “Oh my God, Murphy, you are such a dick,” the woman said, as another woman can be heard saying repeatedly, “How you doing? How you doing? You having fun with your family in the meantime? You’re having all kind...

Cincinnati, OH – The Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, certainly wanted paramedics on the scene during a recent medical emergency there, but refused to let the 911 dispatcher or paramedics to know why. In fact, when the dispatcher began to ask questions that would have helped paramedics be better prepared to quickly help the woman experiencing the emergency, the Planned Parenthood caller hung up on her. The incident occurred on July 23, 2020, when a call from Planned Parenthood was placed through a CenturyLink Internet phone service that first routs emergency calls to an intermediary call center. That...

Just after sunset on the evening of December 21, 2020, Jupiter and Saturn will appear closer together in Earth’s night sky than they have been since the Middle Ages, offering people the world over a celestial treat to ring in the winter solstice. Jupiter and Saturn have been approaching one another in Earth’s sky since the summer. From December 16-25, the two will be separated by less than the diameter of a full moon. Though the best viewing conditions will be near the equator, the event will be observable anywhere on Earth, weather-permitting. Hartigan said the planetary duo will appear...

The head of the NYPD’s largest union issued a stark warning to subway riders Friday amid the recent rash of shoving incidents by unhinged assailants: You’re on your own. PBA President Pat Lynch accused lawmakers of preventing cops from doing their jobs and advised straphangers to “keep both eyes wide open” to avoid being victimized. “The politicians have made it abundantly clear that they don’t want cops enforcing transit system rules, connecting the homeless with services, engaging with seriously mentally ill people or doing any of the things necessary to prevent these terrifying random attacks,” he said. ‘ “That is...

Since the start of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic earlier this year, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) has repeatedly said testing is the best way for life to get back to normal. In early April Hogan directed his state to purchase 500,000 COVID tests from South Korea. The problem, however, is it turns out those tests had "flaws" and weren't used. According to The Washington Post, Hogan dropped $9.46 million for the South Korean tests. Once Hogan's administration realized the tests were ineffective, Hogan reportedly paid the company another $2.5 million to replace the first batch of flawed tests. From WaPo:...

Not only does she take on, by name, prosecutors and former prosecutors who continue to serve in powerful and responsible positions, she is also relentless in criticizing judges before whom she has practiced for years. Few lawyers have the stones to do this...... A lesson for those who would question the claims she is making to the voter fraud allegations in the 2020 US elections – Sidney Powell does not bluff her way through legal cases, she takes cases where injustice can be revealed. Experienced lawyers such as these three would never take this kind of risk unless they had...

Dear Brothers and Sisters, In these past months we have meditated on the figures of the individual Apostles and on the first witnesses of the Christian faith who are mentioned in the New Testament writings. Let us now devote our attention to the Apostolic Fathers, that is, to the first and second generations in the Church subsequent to the Apostles. And thus, we can see where the Church's journey begins in history. St Clement, Bishop of Rome in the last years of the first century, was the third Successor of Peter, after Linus and Anacletus. The most important testimony concerning...

I’ve grown an affinity for them over the past few years and feel that while they’re know for decades, they are still greatly undervalued and under appreciated as a band especially with their mixture of different musical styles with synthesizers and organs I like Renegade
