You only have to watch Joe Biden's "bizarre ranting unhinged performance" speaking to union members recently to understand why Democrats are worried, says Sky News host James Morrow. In a recent address, a fiery President Biden spoke of the "ultra-MAGA agenda" and also rubbished the "lies" being spread about "reckless spending". Mr Morrow also spoke of the latest Civiqs poll numbers, which he said showed President Biden "with a record-low approval rate". "So, no wonder there are cracks beginning to appear in the Democrat edifice as the nation hurtles towards the November midterms," Mr Morrow said.

“He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife” (Proverbs 26:17-21).

CNN)Both cite the same Bible. Both follow the same Jesus. And both talk about the sanctity of life. And yet both stand on opposite sides of the contentious debate over abortion. Trent Horn, an author, speaker and podcaster, is a Roman Catholic and an opponent of abortion rights. Laura Ellis supports legal abortion rights and is project manager at Baptist Women in Ministry, a Baptist group that advocates for women in ministry. Both personify the divisions over abortion in the church — and show how complex the issue can be when two smart and well-informed people cite scripture to support...

(CNN)The only abortion clinic in North Dakota is now preparing to move across state lines following the recent Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade. Red River Women's Clinic, located in Fargo, has been the only provider in the state for 20 years. They now await closure, which will leave many women in the state without care. Clinic Director Tammi Kromenaker told CNN Saturday they are still open, for now. "The plan is to provide service as long as we legally can," Kromenaker said. North Dakota is one of many states that have trigger laws on the books aimed to...

Former U.S. Senator Al Franken took to Twitter to criticize conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court following a majority decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a series of tweets, the embattled former Senator-turned-podcast host included a specific criticism of Justice Clarence Thomas, who opined the overturning of the abortion precedent should push his court to review other major cases as well. "After overturning Roe, Thomas wants to revisit Griswold, Lawrence, & Obergefell. How about revisiting Thomas’ conflicts of interest instead of our rights?" Franken said in a tweet on Saturday. The tweet was in reference to Thomas saying...

A Rhode Island police officer vying for a state senate seat was charged with assault Saturday after allegedly punching his opponent during an abortion rally near the state house. State senate candidate Jennifer Rourke claimed on Twitter that her opponent in the race, Jeann Lugo, attacked her at the Friday night rally that took place hours after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Rourke's tweet included a video of the alleged encounter. The Providence Police Department said on Saturday that Lugo, an officer with the department, was charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct in connection with the...

Abbie Chatfield described the U.S. Supreme Court's anti-abortion ruling as 'barbaric and terrifying' in an Instagram post on Saturday. The former Bachelor star, 27, shared a photo of herself at six weeks pregnant the day before she had an abortion at age 23, and said there are 'no guarantees the right to abortion in Australia will be protected forever'. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion in the U.S., means individual states can decide whether abortion can be made illegal. In the photo, Abbie captured a mirror selfie in a bathroom...

A commander of an elite unit of Ukrainian marines has told Sky News the majority of his best trained troops have been injured or killed. "My unit was 100% made up of professional soldiers who have a lot of experience. Now, 80% are incapacitated from serious injuries or death," he says. In comments which will alarm those backing Ukraine in its four-month long war with Russia, he says he does not know how long his unit can sustain such losses.

Megan Thee Stallion has become the latest Glastonbury star to hit out at the US Supreme Court's historic overturning of the Roe V Wade ruling as she took to The Other Stage at the festival. In an expletive-laden rant, the rapper insisted she 'doesn't support this ****' in response to the court's ruling, which ended the constitutional right to abortion in the US, meaning individual states could decide whether the procedure can be made illegal.

A fire which occurred at a Christian pregnancy clinic in Colorado is being treated as arson after chilling messages were spray painted onto the walls and ground outside. 'If abortions aren't safe, neither are you,' read one. 'Bans off our bodies' said another by the entrance at the Life Choices clinic in Longmont, northeast of Boulder. The fire broke out in the middle of the night at 3:17am on Saturday morning. Authorities believe the fire was set deliberately.

Short answer: Of course not. Neither Kavanaugh nor any other justice would pledge privately to rule a particular way in a future case. To do so would be unethical.…although Kavanaugh did pledge *publicly* to rule a particular way in certain future cases in yesterday’s Dobbs concurrence.Longer answer: If this NYT story is accurate, he strongly implied to Collins that he wouldn’t dump Roe. “Lie” is too strong a word, but you can understand why she feels misled.Jazz has a post coming up about the political predicament in which Collins now finds herself. She’s one of two pro-choice Republicans left in...

Dr. Naomi Wolf, Steve Bannon, and Toby Rodgers recently highlighted a dangerous new plan Covid vaccine producers have to ensure that the vaccines can be changed without any clinical trials required. The Covid-19 vaccines were already formulated in such a hurry that the end dates for the studies on safety and effectiveness were set for months or even years after the vaccines were rolled out (makes sense why the FDA says they underwent “the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history,” right?). But this lack of data, this lack of knowledge about what a vaccine will do to people—this attitude...

Multiple clinics that provide abortions closed down Friday in the immediate aftermath of the Supreme Court's ruling that will end federal protections on abortion.

Friday’s momentous Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade has leftist politicians screaming, news anchors sputtering, and Twitter on fire, with both sides of the debate weighing in. All these loud voices, yet few of them seem to have read the opinion.What does it actually say?The final opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito and is mostly similar to the draft that was leaked in May. The opinion ruled on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centered on a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Arguably the most important line in the ruling comes on...
