Desperate mothers across the US have been forced to buy formula they know will make their babies sick as the country grapples with a shortage that has left shelves bare and has caused prices to skyrocket to $120-a-can. The share of baby formula out of stock across the U.S. hit 40 percent on April 24, according to Datasembly. That's up from 29 percent in March. Wynter Balthrop, of Gallatin, Tennessee, says she broke down inside her car after driving to six stores and calling others as far as three hours away only to receive the same answer - the Enfamil's...

Public school teachers in Florida will soon be required to dedicate at least 45 minutes of instruction on “Victims of Communism Day” to teach students about communist leaders around the world and how people suffered under those regimes. Speaking at Miami’s Freedom Tower before a crowd of local lawmakers and supporters, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 395, which designates Nov. 7 as the state’s official “Victims of Communism Day,” making Florida one of a handful of states to adopt the designation. It is, however, the first state to mandate school instruction on that day, as Florida Republicans continue to...

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said he'll 'wait and see' what Democrats say in their weekly lunches Tuesday before deciding how he'll vote on the Senate abortion bill. Manchin - a moderate Democrat and key swing vote - made the comments Monday to NBC News, as a floor vote on the legislation is expected Wednesday. With Manchin on the fence, it's unclear if the Democrats will even get all 50 senators in their own caucus to vote for the Women's Health Protection Act - far short of the 60 needed from members of both parties to override a Republican filibuster...

Vatican pumps out pro-homosexual 'seamless garment' propagandaVATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) - Pope Francis' synodal process is routinely promoting LGBTQ+ propaganda on its official website, even commending homosexuals who adopt babies as "pro-life" champions. On Saturday, the Vatican's General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops published three "testimonies of homosexual couples," hailing them as stories of "a sexuality that gives life." Three TestimoniesIn the first story, a woman driving to an abortion mill stops at a red light to find a Facebook ad for a baby. The appeal is from fellow parishioner "Karl" — a homosexual living with his partner. "Why can't...

Several high-profile Democratic political operatives and officials are set to take the witness stand next week in the trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, attorneys for both sides revealed in court Monday. Mr. Sussmann is denying government charges that he lied to FBI officials when he tried to supply them with information related to possible links between the campaign of Republican rival Donald Trump and Russian banks, links that were subsequently discredited. Robby Mook, who managed Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 campaign, Clinton campaign attorney Marc Elias and FBI counterintelligence leader Bill Priestap and former top FBI lawyer James...

Democrats are defending Roe v. Wade as the foundation of women’s rights, but their bill to codify Roe into law lacks the word “woman,” and only mentions the word “women” in the title. The move to codify Roe began as an attempt to fulfill a campaign promise by President Joe Biden, who said that he would urge Congress to pass a law to make abortion legal nationwide in the event that a conservative Supreme Court struck down the controversial 1973 precedent that granted a “right” to abortion. That pledge has become more urgent since last week, when a majority opinion...

Beirut, Lebanon, May 9, 2022 / 10:25 am Pope Francis is postponing his June trip to Lebanon, according to the country’s tourism minister. Walid Nassar announced the delay on May 9, citing “health reasons,” reported AFP. “Lebanon has received a letter from the Vatican officially informing it of the decision to postpone the pope’s planned visit to Lebanon,” Nassar said in a statement. The delay was also reported on Monday by Reuters, which said sources had confirmed that the June 12-13 trip would not go ahead due to the pope’s difficulties in walking. The 85-year-old has been making his public...

Staff at a technology factory in China have revolted over strict coronavirus measures. Workers stormed barriers and fought with security staff during a dramatic riot on Thursday. The Quanta factory, in the Songjiang district of Shanghai, makes devices such as MacBook Pros. Footage from Thursday shows how helpless guards, clad in protective white gowns, tried in vain to catch workers who jumped over barriers. The factory had been operating under strict government-mandated isolation rules. Bloomberg report that a ‘closed loop’ system meant staff were required to sleep at nearby accommodation instead of at home. Some had been trying to return...

(LifeSiteNews) – Over Mother’s Day weekend, there was a variety of pro-abortion vandalism and vulgarity over the possibility that abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy may no longer be the norm in much of the U.S. should states be able to set their own abortion laws. Pro-life activists expect such activity to continue through the spring and summer, particularly if Roe v. Wade is overturned. Abortion activists disrupted Mass in Los Angeles and protested outside a Catholic church in New York City. The New York abortion supporters blocked the doors of Old St. Patrick’s and screamed about...

Judicial Watch announced today that a federal court has ordered the FBI to disclose additional details about FBI and other officials “cc-ed” on the memo used to justify launching the “Crossfire Hurricane” spy operation against President Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign. Judge Carl J. Nichols has given the FBI until June 16, 2022 to respond. The order comes in a September 2019 FOIA lawsuit Judicial Watch filed after the FBI failed to respond to a request for the memo, known as an “Electronic Communication” or “EC.” (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:19-cv-02743)). In May 2020, Judicial...

Before the introduction of commercial baby formula, most mothers who could not breastfeed, or who chose not to, would make formula for their child at home. The recipes for homemade baby formula almost always included Karo syrup as an ingredient. While the syrup is not approved for feeding babies today, it's interesting to know how such a common ingredient was used to feed infants in the past.

Former Attorney General Eric Holder says Americans' voting rights are in serious danger, and that partisan gerrymandering – especially as practiced by Republicans redrawing electoral maps to splinter Democratic bases of support – is part of the reason that our democracy is "in need of serious renovation."

A reporter for Rewire News Group called for "more" violence against pro-life Americans over the weekend as she appeared to celebrate reports of vandalism against the headquarters of a pro-life group in Wisconsin. "More of this. May these people never know a moment of peace or safety until they rot in the ground," Caroline Reilly wrote in a now-deleted tweet Sunday evening, responding to a report from The New York Times about the vandalism.

McCormick and Cruz will be attending the Luzerne County Firehouse Breakfast from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at 150 Watson Street. “Pennsylvania needs a true battle-tested America First fighter to fight for their values,” Cruz said via a release. “If you want a bad (expletive), U.S. Army veteran with backbone in the Senate, Dave McCormick is that leader who will go to Washington and work to defend and protect our values.”

"This is not going to stop, especially when the right and Republicans have dedicated decades to taking this basic right away from women, and anyone with a uterus," she said.

“Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot” (Proverbs 10:6, 7).

Brian Kemp "stole" the 2018 gubernatorial election from Stacey Abrams.
