On Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show this morning, in a segment on abortion and Mississippi's effort to overturn Roe v. Wade, MSNBC regular Elie Mystal twice portrayed pro-life people as treating women like "incubators with mouthparts."Pro-life people would reject Mystal's foul metaphor. They would instead point out that Mystal and his ilk would treat unborn children like a clump of cells to be discarded at will up to—and in the case of opponents of born-alive protections, even beyond—the moment of birth.

A majority of Americans believe racism against black people is “widespread” in the United States, a Gallup survey released Friday found. The survey showed 64 percent of U.S. adults expressing the belief that racism against black people is widespread across the nation, representing a 13 percent uptick from the 51 percent who said the same in 2009 during the first year of Barack Obama’s presidency. That number has continued to increase in the years following, reaching 60 percent in 2015 and 61 percent in 2016. Eighty-four percent of non-Hispanic black adults say racism against black people is widespread in the...

It’s simple really. Your free speech is killing people.It is clear that the Democrats are now completely done with free speech as an American institution.Those days are over.The US Constitution no longer applies. And why should it? When you know you don’t have to worry about elections anymore. You can hide your dementia-suffering candidate in the basement for months and still win an election by stealing the ballots. And Democrats can do this against the most popular presidential candidate in history.So why worry?Last Thursday White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki casually admitted the federal government is censoring American citizens and...

Biden administration officials are suddenly everywhere in the news, warning that the origins of the COVID-19 virus may remain shrouded in mystery for all time. This curious effort to lower expectations comes as our spy agencies are halfway through the 90-day review that Joe Biden loudly and publicly “ordered” them to conduct back on May 26. May 26 was, as it happens, the very same day we learned that, a few weeks earlier, Biden had secretly canceled an investigation launched by the Trump administration into exactly the same question. Damage control? You may draw your own conclusions. In announcing the...

According to the leftist "narrative," the migrant-child border surge and Biden administration's work to open the borders to "unaccompanied minors" entering the country illegally are just his being humanitarian and all: "The idea that I'm going to say, which I would never do, if an unaccompanied child ends up at the border we're going to let them starve to death and stay on the other side, no previous administration did that either, except Trump. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it," Biden told ABC's Cecilia Vega. Most of these kids are trafficked by cartels, often...

Senate Democrats are raising new concerns about the thoroughness of the FBI’s background investigation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after the FBI revealed that it had received thousands of tips and had provided “all relevant” ones to the White House counsel’s office. The FBI, responding to longstanding questions from Democrats, disclosed in a letter late last month that it had received more than 4,500 tips as it investigated the nominee’s past following his 2018 nomination by President Donald Trump. The process was the first time that the FBI had set up a tip line for a nominee undergoing Senate...

WEST TEXAS—Outer space has returned an unwanted Amazon package that was sent to it unsolicited yesterday. According to witnesses, the package floated gently back down to earth after being rejected. Locals have asked Amazon to please "pick this thing up and bring it back to the warehouse" as no one really wants it around or knows what to do with it. If you know who ordered a giant metal gumdrop with 4 dudes in it, please call Amazon immediately.

Many in the Catholic world are reeling from the papal document titled Traditionis Custodes, which was released one week ago today. Though the clear, plain meaning of that Latin title is "guardians of Tradition," I've heard someone wryly quip it should be called "jailkeepers of Tradition." Though many details remain unclear, the document seemingly gives bishops greater ability to crack down on the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM).... Some bishops are saying they need time to think about how they're supposed to implement the motu proprio. As many Church Militant viewers would agree, the notion of the current crop of bishops...

In the #MeToo era that we live in, there are certain journalists who have a lot of explaining and reflecting to do. Near the top of the list: Bill Clinton-era reporters who have made cringe-worthy comments excusing the president. It was 23 years ago this week that Time contributor Nina Burleigh told then-Washington Post writer Howard Kurtz: “I'd be happy to give [Clinton] ...

The January 6 Capitol clash may be the gift that keeps on giving to cynics everywhere. In the coming months, Americans will likely see jaw-dropping bureaucratic debacles, stunning abuses by federal prosecutors, and appalling bloodlust by angry Biden supporters. Perhaps the least likely outcome is that the coming train wreck will restore faith in American democracy. The Justice Department declared last week, “The investigation and prosecution of the Capitol Breach will be the largest in American history, both in terms of the number of defendants prosecuted and the nature and volume of the evidence.” The feds are sorting through “237,000...
