Planned Parenthood said 2021 “ was the worst year for abortion rights since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.” While conservative states...

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem1 John 33 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he...

The Biden administration’s assault on U.S. energy independence is continuing even as the White House tries to shift the blame of rapidly climbing inflation and energy costs on Russia. The energy crisis is being used to push the same old lines; limiting your ability to travel, control what you eat, and other socialist claptrap. Yes, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has aided greatly in the price hikes, but a lot can be done here that is not being done, and the things Biden’s people are doing will only make the situation here worse, and I think they know it. Biden’s...

Jurors on Friday found police used excessive force against protesters, violating their constitutional rights, during demonstrations over the killing of George Floyd two years ago, ordering the city to pay a total of $14 million in damages to a group of 12 who sued. The jury of two men and six women, largely white and drawn from around Colorado, returned its verdict after about four hours of deliberations.

In an exclusive report, Sharyl Attkisson presents evidence that is causing scientists to suspect that the Omicron variant of Covid, currently causing cases to spike all over the world, and China to lockdown major cities, is not the product of normal viral evolution, but instead came from a lab. …some scientists examining the virus have concluded “vast” genetic mutations that likely occurred in a lab setting are what makes Omicron spread so quickly. Omicron was first detected in Botswana, South Africa, reported to have been brought by a foreign delegation from a country officials will not identify, making it more...

@NancyMace On @FoxNews yesterday we discussed disturbing reports of Ukrainian citizens forced deportation into Russia. Between that and the Russian disinformation and propaganda machine, Vladimir Putin looks more like Adolf Hitler. Clip...

You use it every day, and the government owns it. What better vehicle for bureaucrats to make you do what they want? If you wanted to rule the world, what would you change to make that happen? Try something that can easily track and control everyone as they go about their daily lives — to the point that they can't escape your stalking or dictates. If you could control the one thing that everyone must use everywhere in his daily activities, you could make the dictators of the past look like rank amateurs. What would have this amount of power...

Looking back on two years of the Pandemic, which moments -- which decisions, which deceptions, which outrages -- merit the COVID Hall of Shame? Let us not declare an end to societal disruption by governmental decree justified by COVID-19. Who can know what the CCP, CDC, WHO, or DNC (all looking so similar recently) will unleash upon us tomorrow? If it’s in their interest to wreak havoc, they will try -- and may succeed. That said, let's declare an end to the First Wave of all that. It’s over. Everyone knows it -- except, perhaps, New Yorkers and Californians, whose...

Being a Republican voter is no easy thing. Social media censor you. Companies fire you. The Department of Justice persecutes you. Democrats assault and harass you. And all the while, most Republican Party "leaders" stand back and do nothing as they watch. We've got the only political party in modern history controlled by a small group of elected officials who fundamentally disagree with the prevailing viewpoints of 90% of the voters who put them in office. Election after election, their unstated yet indisputable campaign slogan is simply, "Vote for us because we don't hate you quite as much as the...

Russia’s assertion that President Biden’s son Hunter was “financing . . . biological laboratories in Ukraine” was based in truth, according to e-mails reviewed by The Post. A trove of e-mails on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop - the existence of which was exclusively reported by The Post in October 2020 - found that he played a role in helping a California defense contractor analyze killer diseases and bioweapons in Ukraine. Moscow has claimed that secret American biological-warfare labs in Ukraine were a justification for its unprovoked invasion of the neighboring country last month. It doubled down on the accusations Thursday,...

Donald Trump's former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Friday she is tired of successor Jen Psaki's 'bad news' press briefings and compared her to the infamous Saturday Night Live character Debbie Downer. McEnany was co-hosting her Fox News show Outnumbered when she turned on Joe Biden's press secretary for giving grim updates to reporters on Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, rising gas prices and inflation. Gas prices have soared to their highest in history and inflation is at a 40-year peak under Biden, while Psaki has been interrogated for almost a month about how Biden will respond to the horrors...
