A crime story out of India this week serves as a reminder of how often pregnant women and unborn babies are subjected to cruel abuses. The Times of India reports a judge in the Tamil Nadu district of India sentenced a man to death Tuesday for murdering his wife and unborn baby in 2015. M. Suresh, 36, of Gandhi Nagar Colony, recently was convicted of murder and other crimes. Authorities said he abused his wife repeatedly, beating her and burning her with cigarettes. On July 21, 2015, when his wife was about six months pregnant, authorities said Suresh accused her...

Today marks 275 days since the institution of the infamous “Flatten the Curve,” AKA The Deep State’s Plot to Drive Us Crazy, Make Us Stupid, and Take Over the World. 15 days, they told us, for 15 days/roughly 2 weeks we need to work from home, close non-essential business, cancel concerts, baby showers, bingo games, etc., yada, yada, you know “the thing” (to show my solidarity with a certain presidential candidate) in order to give hospitals a chance to gear up for huge, terrible, overwhelming waves of ‘rona patients. 15 days. Instead, 15 days has now become 275 days. We...

As some Republicans try to separate themselves from Atlanta-attorney Lin Wood’s post-election rhetoric, President Donald Trump amplified Wood’s latest missive against Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. President Trump retweeted Wood’s statement where he said, “President Trump is a genuinely good man. He does not really like to fire people. I bet he dislikes putting people in jail, especially “Republicans.” He gave @BrianKempGA & @GaSecofState every chance to get it right. They refused. They will soon be going to jail.”

Many in the anti-abortion community are raising concerns about Xavier Becerra being named to a Joe Biden cabinet post, should the Democratic candidate ultimately become the 46th president of the United States. So what’s all the fuss about? Becerra, now the attorney general for California, is Biden’s pick for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). That would be bad news for the unborn and their mothers, as there are few more committed abortion ideologues in the nation. Before being elected attorney general three years ago, Becerra had represented a Los Angeles district in the U.S. House...

We are holding an oversight hearing tomorrow to examine the irregularities in the 2020 election. A large percentage of Americans simply don't think this was a legitimate election. That’s an unsustainable state of affairs for our country. https://hsgac.senate.gov/examining-irregularities-in-the-2020-election

CBS News reporter Kate Smith has developed a reputation for being strongly biased on the abortion issue. Not a political commentator, columnist or opinion writer, Smith is a reporter – someone who is supposed to investigate and present facts, evidence and positions to readers in a balanced, unbiased manner. But Smith, who describes herself as an “abortion access” reporter, repeatedly has displayed her bias in favor of abortion in her reports and on social media. On Monday, she slammed pro-life Vice President Mike Pence as “incredibly tone deaf” because he is holding a pro-life event as the coronavirus spreads, Fox...

A former NFL coach who boldly shares his Christian faith is challenging the pro-abortion stance of a controversial pastor who's on the brink of becoming a member of the U.S. Senate. Tony Dungy (pictured) brought up a valid question for Atlanta pastor Raphael Warnock, a pro-choice Democratic candidate in a decisive Georgia runoff race for the U.S. Senate slated for January 5: Is Warnock, who has touted his anti-biblical, pro-abortion stance, really a Christian? Warnock, who has declared “I am a pro-choice pastor,” is running against Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) in runoff early next month that could determine which party...

Per DC Talk Radio Barr / Rosen are getting ahead of a request by Trump to appoint a Special Counsel for the Biden Foreign Money business. DoJ is working OT on legal maneuvers and counter moves to prevent appointment. They think Trump may replace Rosen because Rosen is following Barr’s wishes. ‘

Pro-life and Christian leaders are in disagreement about the morality of being vaccinated with new COVID-19 vaccines that were developed using cells from aborted babies. All three of the currently available vaccines for the coronavirus used cells from aborted babies in some part of the process. The vaccine by AstraZeneca has the most direct connection to abortion. It was developed with cells from an aborted baby’s kidney, though the cells are not in the actual vaccine. While a number of leading pro-life and religious organizations, including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, have warned people about the unethical production of...

In response to remarks given by Joe Biden, as well as pro-abortion Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock at a campaign event today in Georgia, the national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) issued the following statement: “When Joe Biden says Georgians must vote like lives depend on it, he is right – at stake in the upcoming runoff elections is not only the fate of the U.S. Senate, but that of countless unborn children and their mothers, and of our nation itself. Unfortunately, Biden and his fellow radicals Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are too afraid...

SAN JOSE DE GUANIPA, Venezuela (Reuters) - Francisco Belisario, a Venezuelan mayor, retired general and member of the ruling Socialist party, had enough. His loudest local critic had accused him of bungling the response to the coronavirus outbreak and other big problems. In August, he wrote a state prosecutor and requested an “exhaustive investigation” of his nemesis, Giovanni Urbaneja, a former lawmaker who had become a gadfly to the mayor and other Socialist officeholders. Urbaneja, Belisario wrote in a letter reviewed by Reuters, was conducting a “ferocious smear campaign” on Facebook and elsewhere. Urbaneja not only defamed him and President...

Buttigieg, who mounted a failed bid for the Democratic presidential primary, is set to be nominated as transportation secretary by the man who did win the primary and the general election, President-elect Joe Biden, several news organizations reported Tuesday. Buttigieg, 38, attracted attention during his 2020 bid for president with his combination of progressivism and pragmatism – his health care plan was called "Medicare for All Who Want It," a move toward a single payer plan without forcing people to give up their private insurance. His hyper-intellectualism contrasted with his "Mayor Pete'' accessibility. He kept his sexual orientation private until...

The normal procedure for dealing with questioned elections in the Americas is for public protests after which the military may intervene and order a new election. The U.S. Constitution states "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government." Providing this guarantee is one of the President's most important duties. Vote-flipping machines and allowing the dead to vote which were reported in some states are not consistent with "a Republican Form of Government, " If the election involves a political issue rather than a judicial one as SCOTUS implied then President Donald Trump...

I got a campaign email already fishing for 2024 donations. Is that what we’re doing now? I was full MAGA in 2015/16, and my child was born right after the election. I have wavered on my Trump support in the past and felt foolish for doing so. I was not religious when Trump won 4 years ago. Since Trump has ascended to office I have had a child with a chronic disability, and it led me to discovering Christ, which led me to question my support of Trump, for various reasons. But I eventually found a sensible pastor and he...

HA NOI — The Japan Centre for Economic Research (JCER) has predicted that Viet Nam will become an upper-middle-income country in 2023, and its GDP will surpass that of China’s Taiwan in 2035. The JCER recently released a medium-term forecast of Asian economies entitled “Asia in the coronavirus disaster: Which countries are emerging?”, which addresses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and looks at how Asian economies are faring compared with others around the world. In the standard scenario, JCER assumes that the pandemic is a transient event that will not affect economic structures over the medium term. Under this...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday announced an expansion of the House floor mask requirement which will now preclude lawmakers from removing them while speaking before the cameras during the pandemic. During a brief House pro forma session, Pelosi said while presiding over the chamber that lawmakers will be denied speaking time if they are not wearing a mask going forward. "Masks will now be required at all times in the hall of the House without exception," Pelosi said. "To be clear, members will not be recognized unless they are wearing a mask and recognition will be withdrawn if they...

Despite Dr. Fauci’s cries about how all vulnerable Americans should make sure to get their flu shots to protect against a deadly vortex of a COVID-19-supercharged flu season “twindemic”, it appears influenza-related infections, hospitalizations and confirmed cases over the past couple of months have been much, much lower than the ‘experts’ had anticipated.And on Tuesday, one day after publishing an editorial written by bossman Michael Bloomberg where the billionaire urged Joe Biden to “lead” on the fight against climate change (he even suggested Biden mandate sleepy ESG-focused financial disclosures), the financial news behemoth has decided to boldly question the accepted...

Bishops Blackmail on Dodgy COVID VaccineChina infiltration, financial conflict of interest exposedDUBLIN, Ireland (ChurchMilitant.com) - Irish bishops are blackmailing Catholics into taking the COVID-19 vaccine despite explosive revelations of Chinese infiltration of top vaccine manufacturers, scientific journals questioning the efficacy of the vaccine and financial conflicts of interest.Abp. of Dublin Diarmuid Martin with the Irish bishops "Refusal to accept a vaccine could contribute to significant loss of life in the community and especially among those who are most vulnerable," the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference (ICBC) threatened in a statement issued Wednesday.
