Last week, pro-life activist Janet Morana tweeted about how the mainstream media so often amplifies abortion stories when they fit the pro-abortion narrative, while ignoring those that don’t. Morana wrote, “Dear @NBCNews @MSNBC @JoyAnnReid @nytimes @washingtonpost – read your stories about House women and #abortion but where are you every year when women of @regretabortion tell theirs?” The mainstream media’s coverage of recent House hearings on abortion legislation has emphasized tearful testimony from House members about why they support abortion. As Morana notes, what is noticeably absent is the perspective of mothers who now mourn the children they lost. Morana,...

America loves an outlaw. Some outlaws simply need to find their calling, and David Marshall Williams is such a man. A convicted murderer of a sheriff's deputy, no less, he turned his prison experience into a tale of personal redemption and revolutionized the field of semi-automatic firearms for over a century. Williams was one of a whopping 12 children born to James Claude Williams, a wealthy and highly influential landowner in Cumberland County, North Carolina. His early life is pure Americana: Expelled from school in eighth grade, he apprenticed underneath a blacksmith. Finding this life lacking in adventure, he lied...

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed off on the new law on Saturday banning gas-powered equipment that uses small off-road engines. Gas-powered equipment includes generators, lawn equipment, pressure washers, chainsaws, weed trimmers and even golf carts. Under the new law the machinery will have to be battery-powered or plug-in.

Comparisons with Nazi era becoming a common refrain at protests against vaccine mandates and COVID rulesBelle Jarniewski leaned back from her computer, seething with anger after she finished watching a video on Reddit showing a Winnipeg restaurateur accosting public health enforcement officers. "I'm still shaking after listening to that rant. That was unbelievable," she said. The video shows Shea Ritchie, the owner of Chaise Lounge locations on Corydon Avenue and Provencher Boulevard, speaking with officers giving him tickets on Sept. 24 for allowing diners who choose not to be vaccinated to dine inside his restaurant. "If they're so dangerous, shouldn't...

Fake set. Fake room. Fake windows. Fake flowers. A phony White House production set resembling the The Gong Show, was built across the street from the White House. The cardboard desks and cheap plastic chairs are a nice touch. Our crack president, Biden, can now read what he is told from a script directly from a face-on-monitor. This avoids the embarrassing glare from the normal teleprompter glass that can be seen on camera. Reflected glass is the least of Joe’s problems. He has become a national embarrassment on the world stage. Recently, Joe traveled to Michigan and delivered another horrid...

This is beyond disturbing. According to Dr Pierre Kory, MD, MPA, and verified by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), 100 to 200 congressional reps and/or staff and families who contracted COVID-19 were treated with the Front Line Ivermectin protocol. ... This successful treatment is happening at the same time many congressional representatives are playing politics in favor of the vaccine; downplaying the effective anti-viral treatment and therapeutic approach with Ivermectin; and taking action to block regular American citizens from seeking similar treatment with Ivermectin. Congress can seek treatment with a medication they simultaneously deny to others? This...

Here are two videos from a youtuber who calls himself Sv3rige. The videos are separated by 3 months. In the first, Sv3rige tells us to reject the morality and the slavery of religion. Warming: The video is laced with profanity. In the second video, Sv3rige is going through a personal crisis where his girlfriend (who he professes to love but she has deep emotional issues) is refusing him contact with his son. "Never Forgive Anybody"I'm Done. There's nothing left in life"

The war on cash’s endgame is here: money replaced by vouchers subject to complete state control. For those who have never heard of them, “Central Bank Digital Currencies” (CBDCs) are exactly what they sound like, digitized versions of the pound/dollar/euro etc. issued by central banks. Like bitcoin (and other crypto), the CBDC would be entirely digital, thus furthering the ongoing war on cash. However, unlike crypto, it would not have any encryption preserving anonymity. In fact, it would be totally the reverse, potentially ending the very idea of financial privacy. The countries where the idea progressed the furthest are China...

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Oct. 9. Commander CHAUNCEY arrived here this evening from Hatteras Inlet. He reports that on Monday the rebels organized an expedition to attack and recapture the forts occupied by our forces. The expedition consisted of six steamboats and about three thousand men. The steamers were armed with heavy rifled cannon and mortars for throwing shells. The attack was simultaneous but ineffectual. The forts fired shell, and were assisted by the vessels stationed off the Inlet After a time the rebels retired, though not before two or three steamers had been sunk, going down with all on board. Judging...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—CNN has just released a bombshell interview with an anonymous White House whistleblower, who gave a harrowing account that could spell trouble for the Biden administration. Speaking with Jake Tapper, the whistleblower—who identifies as a "White House aide who is young, with no hair plugs or dentures and definitely not Joe Biden"—gave an account of brutal working conditions in the White House. "Listen, folks, here's the deal," said the unidentified whistleblower through a distortion filter to protect his identity. "It stinks here, Jack! Strangers drag me from place to place and make me sign papers and read words on...

Lost at sea for 29 days, two Solomon Islanders survived on coconuts, oranges and prayers before being rescued 400 kilometres (250 miles) away off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The two men were travelling between islands in the notoriously unpredictable Solomon Sea, when their seven-metre (23-feet) boat got caught in rough weather a few hours into their journey on September 3 As the battery in their GPS died ... Nanjikana said they survived on rainwater, coconuts "and our faith in God because we pray day and night." Collecting rainwater in a canvas bag, the pair would power up their...

We might have a new champion for the best place to live if you want to maximize the amount of government incentives you can get when you buy an electric vehicle. While everyone in the U.S. could be eligible for the federal tax credit worth up to $7500 for a new EV, states and cities have been offering various benefits in addition to the federal credit, and the revived incentive package from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) in California could reduce the price some residents pay for a new or used EV by a serious $9500.

America is badly divided. The evidence for this sad state of affairs abounds. For the record, I know a bit about countries in various degrees of separation. I was closely affiliated with the Brexit movement in the United Kingdom, which saw it leave the European Union. .... So, let’s honestly consider the present state of affairs in our own country. Red states versus blue states. Democratic socialists against nationalist conservatives. Those in blue states want a different constitution, more left-wing states, the end to the Electoral College, the packing of the Supreme Court, defunding the police, and wokeism based on...

In a year of extreme heat, Antarctica's last six months were the coldest on record. "For the polar darkness period, from April through September, the average temperature was -60.9 degrees Celsius, a record for those months," the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said. The last six months is also the darkest period at the South Pole, which is where the name polar darkness (also called polar night) comes from. Here, the sun sets for the last time around the spring equinox, and does not rise again until near the autumn equinox six months later. For the entire Antarctic...

St. Paul police are investigating an overnight shooting that left one dead and 14 others wounded Sunday. Multiple 911 callers "frantically begged for help," reporting shots fired in a busy bar on West Seventh Street, about a block away from the Xcel Energy Center. At 12:15 a.m. at the Seventh Street Truck Park bar, police found a "chaotic scene" with 15 people with gunshot wounds. After securing the area, officers worked with good Samaritans to aid the wounded before St. Paul fire medics were able to enter the scene safely, according to police.

Psalm 2 is amazing for many reasons: It was written by King David, an ancestor of Jesus (Acts 4:25-27), it is an Old Testament passage that clearly states that God has a Son (Psa. 2:7), and it is a prophecy that seems to apply to the current situation. Here is this writer’s partial understanding of Psalm 2. Why do people riot, loot, steal, and imagine things that won’t do them any good (Vs. 1)? World leaders will harden their hearts and conspire with others against God and against His anointed (Jesus is the anointed King of kings and Lord of...

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a woke law on Saturday forcing stores to have 'gender neutral' sections where traditional blue and pink toys and toothbrushes are banned. Large department stores must now display products like toys and toothbrushes in gender-neutral ways - a win for LGBT advocates who say the pink and blue hues of traditional marketing methods pressure children to conform to gender stereotypes. The new law, however, does not completely outlaw traditional boys and girls sections at department stores. Instead it says large stores must also have a gender neutral section to display 'a reasonable selection' of items...
