0:00 / 3:14 BeyondWords Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s leaked draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is a masterpiece of jurisprudence and a long-overdue victory for the preborn. Should this opinion become the official holding of the Court, it will also be the vindication of decades of tireless effort from pro-life advocates and the conservative legal movement. We should take a moment to appreciate the historic nature of this decision. While the leaked draft decision in Dobbs would not ban abortion in America—despite what its detractors would have you think—it would be a monumental step forward. If...

Sri Lankan security forces have been ordered to shoot law-breakers on sight in a bid to quell anti-government protests on the island. Demonstrators are calling for the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa over the island's worst economic crisis in history. On Monday his brother, Mahinda Rajapaksa, stepped down as prime minister amid violent street clashes. But the resignation failed to bring calm and violence continued overnight. On Tuesday the government ordered troops to open fire on anyone looting public property or causing "harm to life". It also deployed tens of thousands of army, navy and air force personnel to patrol...

According to a major study that investigated dairy consumption and cancer risk in Chinese adults, greater intake of dairy products was associated with higher risks of liver cancer and female breast cancer. The first major study to investigate dairy consumption and cancer risk in Chinese adults discovered that higher intake was associated with increased risks of liver cancer and female breast cancer. Overall evidence to date on whether eating dairy products affects the risk of cancer has not been consistent. Studies on Western populations indicate that dairy products may be associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer and a...

He can't even read off a teleprompter.

During Tuesday’s broadcast of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, host Joe Scarborough slammed the state of the GOP under former President Donald Trump’s control. Scarborough, pointing to Trump-backed Senate candidates Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania and JD Vance in Ohio, argued there wouldn’t be a “sane Republican Party until Trumpism is crushed, destroyed and swept away.”

Elon Musk, Time magazine’s 2021 Person of the Year, is under attack. Why? Because he is bucking the liberal establishment and wants to make sure that you can too. The FTC is reportedly reviewing Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, possibly setting up a lengthy investigation of potential anti-trust issues with the acquisition. A probe which could delay and possibly torch the deal if investors get nervous and withdraw their support. We should have seen this coming. The Joe Biden White House – and their leftist allies in the media and the Democratic Party -- will stop at nothing to prevent...

Monday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticized Democrats for their response to a leaked draft opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, hinting the high court was on the verge of overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. Graham told FNC host Sean Hannity the response to the decision was to pass a national law codifying late-term abortions.

The Belarusian army is combat-ready and will be able to inflict unacceptable damage on the enemy in case of external aggression, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the meeting to discuss Belarus' defense needs on 10 May, BelTA has learned. The head of state underlined that the armament, which the Belarusian army possesses today, lets the country maintain its defensive capacity. “I think it is good armament for the army. It shows that our army will be able to fight and inflict unacceptable damage on the enemy. We are realists, we understand that we will not be able to defeat...

PHILADELPHIA — Kathy Barnette has been outspent 358-to-1 on TV in Pennsylvania’s GOP primary for the Senate. She hasn’t run for statewide office before. She doesn’t have former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. But the ultra-MAGA commentator is surging in the polls anyway in the final weeks of one of the most expensive and closely watched races in the country. Barnette’s unlikely — and, to some, unbelievable — rise has turned heads in political circles across the state because it defies political logic. Just two years ago, she lost a House bid in the Philadelphia suburbs by a wide margin. This...

The Tesla CEO cast shade on Twitter after a verified journalist cheered on violence against pro-lifersTesla CEO Elon Musk, who is in the process of acquiring Twitter, said the social media platform obviously has a "strong" left-wing bias, commenting on Twitter's apparent lack of action against a Rewire News Group journalist who tweeted a call for violence against pro-lifers. "Twitter obv has a strong left wing bias," Musk tweeted. He had been responding to conservative influencer Mike Cernovich. Cernovich highlighted a tweet from Rewire News Group journalist Caroline Reilly, who responded to an arson attack against a pro-life non-profit by...

At Christmas time, the Virgin Mary gets a bit of attention in the wider culture. A woman gives birth in difficult circumstances: Mother, baby, ox and ass, the manger. It’s a very touching scene. She quickly fades from the scene however, with some five centuries of culture desperately afraid that she will get too much attention. In that vein, she is pretty much absent from Easter. We have eggs, chocolate, bunny rabbits, and the resurrection of Christ (along with new dresses and such), but Mary has no place in our culture’s Easter imagination. Some of this is undoubtedly the result...

After an historic breach of Supreme Court protocol, where an original draft of an opinion to overturn Roe v Wade was leaked to the public, Chief Justice Roberts has confirmed its authenticity. While we await the Court’s final ruling, it is worth noting that Justice Alito wrote in the draft opinion that some supporters of abortion "have been motivated by a desire to suppress the size of the African American population." He went on to write, "It is beyond dispute that Roe has had that demographic effect. A highly disproportionate percentage of aborted fetuses are Black." What Justice Alito spotlighted...

It’s the Roaring ‘20s once more. That’s what The New York Times claimed as high gas prices, 40-year record inflation and a border crisis dominate the lives of ordinary Americans. “For Tens of Millions of Americans, the Good Times Are Right Now,” claimed the newspaper. Times technology writer David Streitfield pretended Americans haven’t seen an economy this glorious in over 50 years. “For the 158 million who are employed, prospects haven’t been this bright since men landed on the moon.” Those prospects are so “bright” that CNN reported total compensation costs — which “includes the wages employers pay plus health,...

When you’ve lost Lisa Murkowski on abortion rights … To be fair, though, Chuck Schumer all but guaranteed that outcome. In fact, he went out of his way to get it, as we’ll see: Why would Murkowski object to a “Roe codification bill”? Murkowski and Susan Collins both have consistently supported not just the Supreme Court decision in Roe but also the one in Casey. The answer to this, of course, is that Schumer’s bill doesn’t “codify Roe,” but instead expands abortion access to the limit of gestation, right up to the moment of birth. It also would force providers...

What is classical liberalism? And what does it mean to be a classically liberal? Classical liberalism refers to the philosophy of individual liberty, property rights, and rule of law that dominated the West from the late 1700s until the mid-1900s. As history shows, however, words can take new meanings over time. The word liberalism has been in the English lexicon for centuries, but its definition has changed over the course of the 20th century. In fact, the changes have been so significant that political scientists have to qualify liberalism prior to the twentieth century as classical liberalism. By contrast, they...
