Spencer wrote about this last night. The Supreme Court is set to strike down Roe v. Wade. A draft majority opinion was leaked to the press. Someone decided to shop the draft of the ruling for the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case, which sent earthquakes through DC. So much for liberals being the defenders of institutions. So much for "the norms," right? We have "woke" staffers leaking opinions to the press, shattering the trust among the justices and their staffers, and presenting the greatest security breach in the history of the Court. This was done to target the...

Leftists who've been losing their minds over the possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade are getting soundly mocked on social media for suddenly standing up for women after openly minimizing and marginalizing them through transgender advocacy. What are the details? The rise of transgenderism — and the lockstep support it has received from leftists — runs into some problems when placed side by side with abortion rights. First we've seen a number of stories about transgender men — biological women who identify as men — getting pregnant. And since leftists by and large love that...

Our opinions and beliefs have been automatically manipulated by Madison Ave consumer psychology experts for well over a century, for sale wholesale to the highest bidder. The Pro-Life side can play the same game, but success in advertising for life takes away from the budgets of the pro-life establishment. As soon as Biden lost too much popularity, it had to be announced that Hillary was back in the old villain tag-team matchup with Trump. Now that we have Ukraine, the Oligarch Kaleidoscope has a whole new set of images. But the propaganda fireworks of the fictional abortion battle have been...

SIGN UP Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) on Tuesday said the Supreme Court ought to immediately release its final decision on Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban after a draft opinion for the case that would overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked to the media. Chief Justice John Roberts has confirmed that a draft court majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization published by Politico Monday is authentic. The opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, offers a full-throated rejection of...

In response to a leaked draft opinion showing that the United States Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and top legislative leaders announced plans to add a constitutional amendment enshrining a right to abortion. "California is proposing an amendment to enshrine the right to choose in our state constitution so that there is no doubt as to the right to abortion in this state," the leaders said in a statement late Monday night. "We know we can’t trust the Supreme Court to protect reproductive rights, so California will build a firewall around this...

The U.S. Coast Guard is seeing more Haitian migrants trying to reach the Florida coast by boat. It's a dangerous journey that many do not survive. From the sky, a flight crew surveys roughly 700 miles of open waters, from Miami to Haiti and Cuba. They look for people trying to illegally enter the United States. The route past the Bahamas to south Florida has been attempted by Haitians for decades, but this is the busiest the Coast Guard has been with interceptions since 2004.

Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen? Do you need more evidence? Then watch the “2,000 Mules” movie coming out this week. How powerful is “2,000 Mules”? Why do you think the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade was leaked right at this exact moment? This is the first Supreme Court decision that has ever been leaked — and it just happened to occur on the eve of the release of “2,000 Mules”? Look who this historic criminal act targets: female voters. It’s no coincidence.

Victor Cuevas' lawyer said the punishment phase for this murder conviction will begin on Wednesday.Victor Cuevas, the man who was at the center of the India the tiger investigation, was found guilty of murder Tuesday in connection to a 2017 shooting in Fort Bend County. Cuevas was found guilty in a deadly shooting that happened the evening of July 14, 2017 in front of a Buffalo Wild Wings in the 5600 block of W. Grand Parkway. Bond was set at $750,000 for that case, and Cuevas was arrested two weeks later at an airport when returning from Mexico. He bonded...

All 22 candidates in Ohio and Indiana endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump completed a clean sweep of Tuesday’s primaries, indicating the strength of a Trump endorsement is as mighty as it has ever been. Former White House political director Brian Jack exclusively tells Breitbart News: What we saw in Texas earlier this year was confirmed yet again tonight: President Trump’s endorsement is the most important endorsement in politics. His endorsed candidates are a combined 55-0 in 2022 primaries, a continuation of the historic endorsement streak of success that started during his time at The White House. Populist candidate...

RUSSIA has accused Israel of supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine as Moscow doubles down on controversial claims made by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, causing the West to question the "unhinged" comments. Mr Lavrov initially claimed that Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins, which was dismissed by Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid as an “unforgivable falsehood” and slammed the Russian Foreign Minister for minimising the horrors of the Holocaust. However, in a statement on Tuesday, Mr Lavrov hit back, stating that Mr Lapid’s comments were “anti-historical” and “explain to a large extent why the current Israeli government supports the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv”....

In an April 22 statement, Bishop Emeritus Michael D. Pfeifer, of San Angelo, Texas, called on his fellow bishops to do more to correct Biden and others who reject the sanctity of human life, according to the Catholic News Agency. “If abortion is really the preeminent life issues as we bishops say it is, then we must hold President Biden accountable for his pro-abortion extremism, calling out Biden in a proper pastoral manner, for his anti-Catholic pro-abortion policies,” Pfeifer said. Pfeifer said he felt compelled to speak out after noticing that Biden’s 2023 budget proposal excludes the Hyde Amendment, a...

"Look, think what Roe says. Roe says what all basic mainstream religions have historically concluded — that the right — that the existence of a human life and being is a question. Is it at the moment of conception? Is it six months? Is it six weeks?” (Biden Quote)

[If I understand correctly, in Texas Primary and Run-off elections, the County Executive Committee (the Precinct Chairmen, plus the Party Chairman of a political party) can select the method for conducting the election: paper ballots only, or electronic machines. AHEM! Is anyone listening? Precinct Chairmen can switch the voting in their political party in their county to paper only ballots during the primary and run-off elections!!! The primary is at least as important as the general election, because that is when we have a chance to select an America first candidate. Otherwise, it'll probably be selecting either a RINO or...

Strange, isn't it? Mask mandates mostly disappeared just as the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. Thousands of blue over yellow Ukrainian flags appeared coast to coast and border to border within days of that invasion. Anyone remotely acquainted with logistics and supply chains knows that materials in such quantities can't magically appear withn hours or days. Who knew in advance? And when? And why? And now just as suddenly the Ukraine-Russian war has all but vanished from the news just as the SCOTUS "leak" captures the headlines. Thousands of "spontaneous demonstrators" (think "Animal Farm") converge on the SCOTUS armed with...

Lyft and Uber said this week they will fully cover legal fees for their respective drivers who are sued under Oklahoma’s anticipated restrictive abortion law. The Oklahoma House on Thursday passed the Texas-style ban that prohibits most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, a time period before many women have even discovered they’re pregnant. The so-called Oklahoma Heartbeat Act now goes to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who is expected to sign it within days. Like the Texas law, people aiding the procedure, including doctors, people paying for the procedure and clinic workers are at risk. That includes rideshare drivers...

Some things about Russia’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine: 1.It has been reported by CNN, and I have felt the same way for some time as well, that Russia may declare war on Ukraine. I assume that if that were to happen we would see massive destruction of the infrastructure in Western Ukraine including all communications infrastructure, electrical generation, bridges, rail, etc. Russia has really been soft with Ukraine so far in an effort to protect innocent Ukrainians but the ongoing killing and abuse of Eastern Ukrainians by Ukrainonazis hiding among civilians may be too much to bear. 2.I dream...

Nice short lecture and Father Spyridon is very well thought of in Orthodox circles

A Wisconsin Democratic lawmaker was criticized over social media for using the term "birthing bodies" instead of women while tweeting about the potential reversal of Roe V. Wade. State Rep. Francesca Hong made the substitution in a Monday evening tweet following the news of the leak of an alleged draft of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion to revoke the landmark 1973 case. Since the leak, many Democrats have reaffirmed their pro-choice stance. Birthing bodies have the right to freedom. Deciding if or when to become a parent is one of the most personal, life-changing decisions," Hong tweeted....
