The far-left’s hysterical reactions to Justice Samuel Alito's leaked draft opinion in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization indicate that its radical, woke agenda is crashing down. Violence has erupted as abortion activists rage over the potential demise of Roe v. Wade. The leak of Justice Alito’s draft opinion, which overturns Roe, appears to be the handwriting on the wall. This may be an indication that America has rejected the destructive agenda of the abortion industry. The apparent downfall of Roe opens the door for the rebirth of a culture of life. Central to achieving this goal...

Republican Senate candidate Kathy Barnette called out Dr. Mehmet Oz during a tense exchange about abortion, revealing she was the byproduct of rape. On Wednesday, candidates for Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary gathered for a debate as they attempt to sway voters before the May 17 primary election. Candidates were asked about their stance on abortion days after Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide, was leaked. It was then that candidate Kathy Barnette, a conservative political commentator, explained her personal connection to the pro-life movement, revealing she was the...

Belarus’ authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko defended Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, but he said he didn’t expect the 10-week-old conflict to “drag on this way.” -snip- “But I am not immersed in this problem enough to say whether it goes according to plan, like the Russians say, or like I feel it,” he said in the nearly 90-minute interview at Independence Palace in Minsk. “I want to stress one more time: I feel like this operation has dragged on.”

"Where most of the non-kinetic work is being done is in restoring and normalizing smaller towns and cities that the Russians liberate. What is being reported is that Russian managers are now routinely being brought on site of these towns and cities to establish order and normal civilian function. They restore Russian Television, and Internet, get cleaning up done, start rebuilding, demine, and provide emergency food stocks for normal life to continue. There are rumors all over the netisphere that the status of Donesk and Lugansk will soon more formally change to Russian influence. We cannot speculate and will have...

This Sunday is Mother's Day, and as I did last week in my column, I will write again about my mother, Jackie Battley Gingrich, who died in 2013 yet remains a living inspiration to me. This week, I am writing about a different aspect to this remarkable woman. Even before she was diagnosed with cancer for the second time in 2004, she knew that life is short, and that laughter brings us together. My advice last week was to find someone you disagree with and share a laugh with them. This week, I am urging you to put that advice...

This is the moment Ukrainian troops destroy one of Russia's most advanced tanks which are protected by special reactive armour. The armour on the T-90M is designed to explode when hit reducing the penetrative power of an incoming round. The tank is also protected with a automated defence system which fires smoke grenades when it is 'painted' by a laser beam used by an incoming missile. However, the Ukrainian military released drone footage on a Russian armoured unit which resulted in the destruction of the £4million tank as well as a thermobaric multiple rocket system.

The news of Elon Musk’s deal to acquire Twitter has made it around the world and back again a few times. Social media somehow still has the ability to share information. Not bad for a dying product. While many celebrate the Twitter takeover and promises of a makeover, there is a glaring omission from the discussion – why would anyone want to buy Twitter, especially now? Mr. Musk surely is making the purchase for numerous reasons, but can he save a dying Twitter? Mr. Musk certainly can save Twitter if he really is able to bring back the free speech...

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE 1st SAMUEL CHAPTER 3 The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions. One night the LORD called Samuel. Samuel answered, “Here I am.” And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down. Again the LORD called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I...

BREAKING NEWS: Internet sleuths say the first suspect in the still very preliminary investigation into the Supreme Court Leak is Justice Sonia Sotomayor's clerk: Amit Jain. A photo with additional content is available on Facebook, and perhaps elsewhere, but I don't know how to post it here.

"Military planners are likely getting nervous," according to Mark Cancian, a security analyst for the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The United States has delivered so many Javelin tank-buster missiles to Ukraine that the Pentagon's own stocks have dwindled perilously, according to defense insiders. The U.S. has sent more than 5,000 Javelins to Ukraine, the Pentagon said, with analysts estimating that some 20,000-25,000 of the missiles remain in the Defense Department's inventory — an amount that may not be sufficient for potential U.S.-involved conflicts. "Military planners are likely getting nervous," according to Mark Cancian, a security analyst for the...

Lara Logan — the former 60 Minutes star reporter, turned Fox Nation host, turned far-right screedster — has spoken out in the most explicit terms yet about her break up with Rupert Murdoch’s company in the wake of her comments comparing Dr. Anthony Fauci to a genocidal Nazi psysician.But in an appearance Monday on the “The Stand Up America US Show” [sic], Logan described her separation from Fox as a definitive breakup, describing the network’s apparent decision to “dump” her as a gift from the heavens. “God has intervened in my life in very significant ways to spare me from...

Rivian Automotive, the electric vehicle (EV) company that beat the legacy automakers to market with the 2022 R1T electric pickup, just received $1.5 billion in incentives to build a new plant in Georgia. The package will include job training support, tax credits and subsidies, according to a statement by the Georgia Department of Economic Development. Rivian will get $467 million in tax credits if it creates 7,500 jobs by 2028, as the automaker promised. But Pat Wilson, Georgia's commissioner noted that if Rivian doesn't produce that many jobs there are protections for the taxpayer. Almost $300 million will go into...

I don’t know about the rest of you, but politics in America has become really, really exhausting. We bounce around from one freaking political or government crisis to the next one, and we’re never given a single moment to try to catch our breath. Every single day Democrats are calling anyone who doesn’t believe as they do vile names, and Republicans while generally not as graphic as their Democrat counterparts, are still at times also guilty of extreme rhetoric. Whatever happened to reasonable people sitting down and hashing things out and coming to a mutually acceptable agreement, without the vitriol...

Last year, I was told, along with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, that we were crazy for thinking the Covid "vaccines" were shedding onto the unvaccinated. Now, it's been proven by the University of Colorado. When I interview Dr. Sherri Tenpenny last year, it was the first time I’d ever heard an in-depth description of Covid vaccine “shedding.” That was back in May when the big push to get every man, woman, and child on earth jabbed was just getting ramped up. We were censored heavily at the time; the powers-that-be DEFINITELY did not want people concerned that those who have been...

New, higher fencing was installed outside the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., Wednesday night after the third day of protests over abortion rights. The 8-foot fence completely encircles the Supreme Court building. Pro- and anti-abortion rights protesters first flocked to the high court Monday night, spurred by a leaked draft opinion that suggested Supreme Court justices are prepared to overturn Roe v. Wade, the decision that affirmed the right to an abortion nationwide. Protesters returned Tuesday and Wednesday, and more demonstrations are expected in the coming weeks. Capitol Police say they are preparing for any potential demonstrations. So far,...

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg gave an impassioned speech about abortion and women's rights during the show's broadcast days after a draft opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito striking down Roe v. Wade was leaked.

Ford Motors admitted this month that its huge gamble on electric vehicles caused it to lose $3.1 billion already this year. The Detroit giant sunk $5.4 billion in its newest electric vehicle (EV), the Ford Rivian, during the first quarter of this year. And it was one gigantic loser. According to the company’s earnings report released on Wednesday, Ford reported revenue of $34.5 billion between January and March, a 5% decline over the same period in 2021, and a net loss of $3.1 billion. “A net loss of $3.1 billion was primarily attributable to a mark-to-market loss of $5.4 billion...

Politicians, the Federal Reserve, and Fed and administration apologists like to claim that the inflation we face is caused by supply constraints. This claim goes against the facts on the ground. According to the World Trade Organization, even though there was a collapse in trade at the beginning of the pandemic, trade in intermediate goods -- critical inputs in finalized products -- quickly recovered despite port and shipping bottlenecks. Sure, it increased at a slower rate than before, but trade was still rising. In addition, data from the main U.S. ports show that after declining at the beginning of the...
