One dark night outside a small town in Saskatchewan , a fire started inside the local sausage plant and in a blink it exploded into massive flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments from miles around. When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage company president rushed to the fire chief and said, 'All of our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved and I will give $50,000 to the fire department that brings them out intact.' But the roaring flames held the firefighters off....

Regulations that protect women and unborn babies from a dangerous abortion drug will remain blocked after a federal judge ruled against President Donald Trump’s administration Wednesday. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang, of Maryland, means abortion facilities may continue to send the abortion drug mifepristone to women in the mail, potentially without ever seeing them in person for a check-up or exam. Mifepristone is used to abort unborn babies up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. The AP reports Chaung suspended the U.S. Food and Drug Administration rules for the abortion drug in July after the American College of...

The Supreme Court is the major bulwark against the destruction of the Second Amendment at the federal level. The independence of the Court is essential to protect the Second Amendment at the Court. On The Russ Clark Show, a local radio show in Yuma Arizona, an investment guru guest, known only as “Edward”, made a prediction: The Supreme Court justices would not accept the Texas v. Pennsylvania lawsuit contesting the legality of the elections in four states. The show is local, but is regularly listened to by members of Congress (over the Internet). Congressmen and members of the Trump campaign...

Back in July, we reported that Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds were used to prop up several abortion businesses in addition to Planned Parenthood affiliates nationwide. Infuriatingly, Hope Clinic for Women in Illinois received over $150,000 despite publicly admitting that its gruesome business was booming; its deputy director told CBS News that “women are now less likely to change their minds once they schedule an abortion. Normally, 50% go through with it; amid the pandemic, the rate is 85%.” PPP money was supposed to help struggling small businesses keep their employees on the payroll, not subsidize abortionists who are already...

“In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death” (Proverbs 14:26-27).

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, abortion clinics across the United States have remained open, and one pro-life group is continuing its annual Christmas caroling events in an effort to bring women hope in a difficult time. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to engulf the United States, a pro-life group is continuing its annual Christmas caroling events in an effort to bring women hope in a difficult time. 2020 marks the seventh year that the Pro-Life Action League has conducted a project called “Peace in the Womb” Christmas caroling. As part of the project, pro-lifers in dozens of cities across the U.S....

Dec. 10 was Human Rights Day. It marked the anniversary of the United Nations’ adoption of the landmark Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Most everyone today believes in human rights. Defenders of abortion are no exception—they typically consider abortion itself such a right. But the very concept of human rights actually poses a fatal difficulty for their view. Here’s why. Consider the basis for possessing human rights. What does an individual need to have in order to possess them? What’s the criterion? The straightforward answer is that the criterion is being human or having a human nature. Humans have rights...

Twenty state attorneys general submitted a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday supporting Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s efforts to defend a law banning brutal dismemberment abortions. WYMT News reports Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich led the amicus brief, which argues that a lower court was wrong in refusing to allow Cameron to defend the law. The brief accused a Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals panel of usurping the rights of the people of Kentucky “through procedural machinations.” “The threats to these sovereign interests are particularly acute in this case,” the attorneys general wrote in the brief. “The...

In Long Island City, it’s the scar that won’t heal. Almost two years after Amazon pulled out from a proposal to build a massive headquarters along the Queens waterfront, the site is a vacant eyesore - and, to many locals, the squandered economic opportunity is even more painful amid the coronavirus pandemic. “The site just sits there empty. It’s terrible,” said Donna Drimer, owner of the Matted LIC art gallery and gift store. “We’re in the middle of a pandemic. People say, ‘If we only had Amazon.’ We got nothing.” The world’s largest e-tailer abruptly canceled its projected 25,000 job-producing...

@RandPaulJames Clapper brazenly lied to Congress denying that the Deep State was spying on all Americans. @Snowden simply revealed Clapper’s lies and exposed unconstitutional spying. He deserves a pardon from @realDonaldTrump!

What once seemed surely unthinkable has become, in just a few years, irrefutable. The evidence amassed by scholars, journalists and campaigners of grotesque human rights abuses in Xinjiang has begun to cut through to the wider public. On Thursday, the France and Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann cut his commercial ties to the Chinese tech giant Huawei, saying there were “strong suspicions” that it has contributed to the repression of Uighurs. His statement followed a report that Huawei tested a facial recognition system developed by artificial intelligence firm Megvii that could be used to identify Uighurs and trigger an alert to...

The NFL enjoyed a rebound in the ratings and a relatively rare week of good fortune over the Thanksgiving holiday, but it did not last. One week after having their best ratings week of the year, the NFL faceplanted with a 14.5 million viewer average for Week 13. That number represented a 29% drop in viewership from Week 13 of last season. For the year, the league is averaging 15.2 million viewers per week, an eight percent drop season-to-date.

Progressives leaders and groups such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and the Working Families Party have poured millions into the Georgia Senate runoffs, believing that the advancement of their leftist agenda hinges on the election of Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. Politico reported Saturday that progressives have declared a cease-fire with more moderate Democrats to focus on taking the Senate majority. “If Democrats don’t take back control of the Senate, much of the progressive agenda is doomed,” Politico wrote.

Black Lives Matter DC activists complained on Sunday that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) failed to protect them while continuing to call for defunding police. The apparently conflicting statements came during a press conference held in Black Lives Matter Plaza Sunday afternoon. Black Lives Matter DC Anthony Lorenzo Green said during the Sunday press conference that the mayor and police department failed “to protect the rights of D.C. residents” during the Stop the Steal Trump rally held in the nation’s capital on Saturday. ”

Chris Christie on Sunday dragged continued efforts from Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the election results, claiming their legal theories are an 'absurdity.' 'The legal theory put forward by his legal team and by the president is an absurdity,' Christie told ABC's 'This Week' on Sunday morning. The Republican former governor of New Jersey was specifically referencing the recent case brought to the Supreme Court by Texas, attempting to police how other states run their election in an effort to overturn Joe Biden's victory.

Donald Trump on Sunday night called the Republican governor of Georgia 'a fool' and referred to him as 'this clown' in a volley of furious tweets accusing Republicans of allowing Democrats to steal the election. Trump chastised the Supreme Court for refusing to hear a Texas lawsuit attempting to overturn Joe Biden's victory and raged against an election he sees as being stolen from him. Particular anger was directed at Brian Kemp, who he campaigned for in 2018.
