Wade decision that legalized abortion. For the sake of safety, Alito has reportedly been moved to a location that will not be revealed, according to Breitbart.

Russia’s war on Ukraine has, among many other things, highlighted a consequential, indeed historic, shift taking place in American politics with regard to foreign policy. A recent vote in the House of Representatives helps tell the tale. On April 28, Congress voted by an overwhelming majority of 417-10 to pass Republican Senator John Cornyn’s bill that would revive Lend Lease and apply it to Ukraine. As is well known, Lend Lease was the brainchild of Franklin D Roosevelt as a way to get around the series of Neutrality Acts passed by Congress in the 1930s, in order to help supply...

Following a personal invitation from Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky, U2’s Bono and the Edge visited Kyiv Sunday to perform an acoustic concert in one of the city’s subway stations-turned-bomb shelters. “The people in Ukraine are not just fighting for your own freedom, you are fighting for all of us who love freedom,” Bono told the audience, which included soldiers. “We pray that you will enjoy some of that peace soon.” Bono and the Edge previously took part in Global Citizen’s “Stand Up for Ukraine” livestream, where the duo played a rendition of “Walk On” that addressed the invasion.

Danielle Reid joked that her family rolled into the local library branch with suitcases to fit all the books they intended to check out. The Fort Gratiot resident said they take advantage of the St. Clair County Library System twice a week, and on Friday morning, she, twin sons Titus and Abe, 5, and daughter Selah, 8, were among several families at the Port Huron branch for story time — and the hive of crafts and activity that followed. “I’m homeschooling them this year, so we’ve been able to take advantage of a lot of resources,” Reid said. “But we’ve...

National–The head of the U.S. bishops’ pro-life committee said a leaked draft of a possible Supreme Court opinion that could upend abortion laws “reminds us of the urgent need for prayer and action at this pivotal moment in our country” and called for intense prayer and fasting. “As Catholics, we care about every unborn child and every mother,” Archbishop William Lori said in a statement on Wednesday. “Our Church has consistently witnessed in word and deed that life begins at the moment of conception.” The archbishop pointed to ministries run by Catholics that seek to support pregnant women and young...

Local and international groups are rushing to get post-rape kits, emergency contraception, and abortion pills to Ukrainians amid growing evidence that Russian soldiers have used sexual violence as a weapon of war. Ukraine says it's received more than 400 reports of sexual violence, including rape, in two weeks. Existing data is unlikely to "convey an accurate picture" of the true magnitude of sexual violence in the country because rape so often goes unreported, even in times of peace, Jaime Nadal Roig, the UNFPA's representative to Ukraine, told Insider.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has a message for the radical abortion activists who think they can bully the Supreme Court into revising its draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade: You can’t bully us.

Wade. But Justice Thomas says those mislaid plans will not work in terms of bullying the high court to go back on its apparent decision. Thomas spoke...

The port city of Kherson and its surroundings in southern Ukraine, one of the first regions to come under Russian occupation, is increasingly showing signs of what the Kremlin has in mind: long-term control. (snip) The region is gradually being cut off from information coming from the rest of Ukraine. Last weekend, as it was plagued by internet and cell service outages, major Russian state TV channels, one of the main media of Kremlin propaganda, started broadcasting there.
