One-time notorious abortion doctor and key architect of the abortion movement, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, is speaking from the grave. His message: Embrace life.Over the weekend, author Terry Beatley spoke at a local right-to-life event here in South Florida. Beatley had met with Nathanson in 2009 (about a year before he died), and he gave her a charge to continue spreading the pro-life message. He told her, “teach the strategy of how I deceived America” to accept abortion.Nathanson’s message is most relevant these days, as the U. S. Supreme Court is possibly rethinking its infamous abortion decision from 1973, Roe v....

Career race-baiter and cynical iconoclast Nikole Hannah-Jones was recently back in the news. She is the fabulist inventor of the “1619 Project”—a creative retelling of history effectively reducing this nation, its founders, and its people to little more than unprincipled sponsors of slavery, racism, and other moral failures

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) sparred with one another in television appearances this week, each saying that former President Trump "broke" the other. Cruz appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News show on Tuesday and said the Wyoming representative had "Trump derangement syndrome." "[I] think she falls into the category of people who Donald Trump just broke, just shattered," Cruz said, according to Yahoo News.

We now know the common flu and swine flu were deadlier to children than COVID-19. So why are politicians still pushing mandates? New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio this week announced he is considering requiring children as young as five years old to demonstrate proof of vaccination to enter private establishments, such as restaurants and gymnasiums. Though New York City only began making vaccinations available to children a week ago, the outgoing mayor said he’d like to have a plan in place for incoming mayor Eric Adams. Adams, who recently announced he hopes to soon end mask requirements in...

The era of cheap meat is over. For those that are carnivores, that is really bad news. For decades, Americans have been able to count on the fact that there would always be mountains of very inexpensive meat at the local grocery store, but now those days are gone and they aren’t coming back. As I was writing this introductory paragraph, it struck me that what is happening to meat prices actually parallels what I wrote about yesterday. Just as the left doesn’t want us to use traditional forms of energy because they believe that doing so is “bad” for...

Filling up your car in California is now costing you more than ever before as gas prices in are once again at record-highs. The record-breaking gas prices are coming just as we head into the busy holiday travel season. We have never seen prices so high at a time of year when typically prices start to go down. "It's ridiculous, I'm so over it. My car used to be $20 or $30 max and now it's like $40 or $50," a SoCal resident said.

The Dumbing Of America Our failing education system is leading us down a dangerous road.America is in the midst of an education crisis, ranging from newborns to college students, and it is ubiquitous. In an under-reported story from August, a study by researchers at five universities found that babies born during the Covid pandemic show reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance. Babies who came into the world before the coronavirus had an IQ score averaging 100, but the test scores of those born during the pandemic fell sharply to around 78.And those who were already out of the oven...

It isn’t often that Anthony Fauci’s policy proposals are denied by the White House. For months, Fauci and a cabal of Democrats on Capitol Hill called for the Biden regime to impose vaccine requirements for domestic travelers ahead of the holidays to turn up pressure on those who have been on the fence. But those requirements never materialized despite assurances by the White House that the option has always been “on the table.” I had assumed fear of political blowback was the reason they chose not to seriously pursue air travel vaccine mandates before the holidays. After all, most Republicans...

Searching for a vaccine exemption form for my wife to attempt to get her cardiologist to sign. She works in health care and her company doesn't have a form available yet, they say. She's had cardiac issues since a few years ago. From what I've been able to find so far the State of Michigan has medical exemption forms for children in schools, but nothing for adults.

Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin is setting himself apart from other Republican governors who have taken a hardline stance against vaccine mandates in their states. Instead, Youngkin, who is against vaccine mandates at the state level, said he will not block local governments from pushing their own Covid-19 health precautions, including vaccine mandates. “Localities are going to have to make decisions the way the law works and that is going to be up to individual decisions but, again, from the governor’s office, you won’t see mandates from me,” Youngkin said in a recent interview, according to local media.

When former President Ronald Reagan made the difficult announcement in 1994 that he had Alzheimer's disease, he may have saved his daughter's life. Patti Davis, 69, writes in her new memoir, "Floating in the Deep End," that she was struggling with depression and even contemplating suicide at the time her father publicly revealed his condition in a letter to the nation. "That could have been the last straw, but instead, it gave me something to reach for and to focus on," Davis told NBC News special correspondent Maria Shriver on TODAY Thursday. "That pulled me out of my own despair."

On this date in 1864, the sins of the father were visited upon the son when the Qing Dynasty dealt a coup de grace in what is perhaps history’s bloodiest civil war, executing the luckless teenager to whom leadership of the Taiping Rebellion had fallen. Strangely little-known, the Taiping Rebellion shook the weakened Chinese state through the middle of the 19th century, nearly to its very foundations. From 1851 until the 1864 death of its queer leader figure, prophetic Christian convert Hong Xiuquan, it maintained its own state in southern China, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — After more than half a century, two men are set to be cleared in the assassination of Malcolm X. CBS2’s Alice Gainer on Wednesday visited a site in Washington Heights that used to be the Audubon Ballroom. It’s where Malcolm X was assassinated 56 years ago. It’s now a memorial and educational center. There is now word that after a nearly two-year investigation the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is saying the wrongful convictions of two men will be vacated on Thursday. Malcolm X was one of the civil rights era’s most compelling and controversial figures. The...

Comedian Bill Maher railed against critical race theory and woke Democrats in a far-reaching interview with Chris Cuomo Wednesday night — condemning the controversial education movement as “just virtue-signaling” and accusing liberals of being “afraid to acknowledge progress.” “It’s just something going on in the schools that never went on before,” Maher said on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time.”

COVID-19 booster shots may become the new standard to be considered fully vaccinated, according to the nation’s top doctor. Dr. Anthony Fauci discussed the impending need for hundreds of millions of Americans to roll up their sleeves and get the jab during a pre-taped interview that aired at the 2021 STAT Summit in Boston this week, according to ABC News. “I happen to believe as an immunologist and infectious disease person that a third-shot boost for an mRNA [vaccine] … should be part of the actual standard regimen, where a booster isn’t a luxury,” the director of the National Institute...

President George H-W Bush's longtime chief of staff has now documented Bush's life after his term in the White House. She'll be in Tallahassee to discuss the process Tuesday, Nov. 16. Jean Becker's personal relationship with George Herbert Walker Bush spanned more than a quarter of a century. Her first encounter was with the then vice-president-running-for-president Bush in 1987. Seven years later, she would become President Bush's chief of staff. She would keep that title until his death in late 2018. It was the post-presidency years, following Bush's loss to Bill Clinton in the 1992 election, that Becker writes about...

BRANDON, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign a package of anti-COVID-19 vaccine mandate bills into law Thursday in Brandon, Florida – a thinly vailed jab at President Biden. *snip* "The significance of signing this legislation in Brandon, Florida, is not lost on the governor," DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw said. *snip* The first-term governor claimed victory, tweeting: "I look forward to signing legislation that will protect their jobs and the jobs of all Floridians who are facing unjust termination due to heavy-handed mandates!"

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Students at high schools across Oklahoma City walked out of their classes. Prayer vigils were held at the state Capitol, and barricades were erected outside the governor’s mansion. Even Baker Mayfield, quarterback for the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, weighed in on Oklahoma’s highest-profile execution in decades. Julius Jones, 41, who has maintained his innocence for more than two decades, is scheduled to receive a lethal injection Thursday at the State Penitentiary in McAlester for the 1999 slaying of Paul Howell, a businessman in the affluent Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond. Mayfield, a Heisman Trophy winner from the...
