The Democrats used their constitutional remedies against President Trump by impeaching him twice. Now they want to throw him and his supporters in jail. This week, Adam Schiff and his friends on the Jan. 6 Select Committee have been pushing a new "Big Lie" on America, that President Trump conspired with state GOP leaders to present "fake Trump electors" on January 6, 2021, whose votes would be substituted for the "real" Biden electors during the ceremonial public count of the votes by the vice president in the Capitol. According to the breathless committee script, it was a classic switcheroo, conducted...

The Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs case is both smaller and larger than it might first appear. Smaller Than It Seems It’s smaller in the sense that in and of itself the decision bans precisely zero abortions. To be sure, you might not know that to hear President Biden, who said on June 24: Today, the Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away a constitutional right from the American people that it already recognized. They didn’t limit it. They simply took it away. That’s never been done . . . but they did it. Yet despite all...

@PeterSchiff #Democrats accusing the #SupremeCourt of taking away rights by overturning #Roe are hypocrites. Through their laws and regulations they have already destroyed the right to privacy, as well as many other rights secured by the Constitution, including the right to make many choices. @goldseek Replying to @PeterSchiff If you survive a pro choicer, odds are high that you are most likely going to find they want to steal away many of your rights the second you start breathing. @PeterSchiff Replying to @goldseek Correct, the only right they seem to care about is the right to an abortion. When it...

Brooke, 27, praised Abbie, also 27, for being 'honest and vulnerable' by sharing her own experiences with abortion amid the U.S. Supreme Court's anti-abortion ruling.

Roe v. Wade protesters in South Carolina clashed with police on Saturday as thousands continued their outrage against the Supreme Court's decision to end the landmark abortion ruling by holding demonstrations in Washington, D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and all across the country.

Smoke billows from a residential building following explosions in Kyiv on June 26. Several explosions rocked the west of the Ukrainian capital in the early hours, with at least two residential buildings struck, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. A suspected Russian missile attack on a residential neighborhood in the Ukrainian capital injured at least five people early on June 26, trapping some residents under the rubble and sparking a fire in a nine-story apartment building. The bombardment of Kyiv came as Ukraine's defense forces battled to regroup after the loss of a strategic town to Russian forces on the...

As Russian troops press ahead with a grinding campaign to seize eastern Ukraine, the nation’s ability to resist the onslaught depends more than ever on help from the United States and its allies — including a stealthy network of commandos and spies rushing to provide weapons, intelligence and training, according to U.S. and European officials. But even as the Biden administration has declared it will not deploy American troops to Ukraine, some C.I.A. personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, mostly in the capital, Kyiv, directing much of the vast amounts of intelligence the United States is sharing...

Former Miss Universe Australia Maria Thattil has shared that she had an abortion in 2015. Maria, 29, shared a photo of herself just days after she had an abortion at 21 and said she cannot imagine how her life would've turned out if she had been forced to carry that pregnancy to term. 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. Posting to social media, Maria wrote: 'I was 21 when I had my #abortion and there isn't...

The newest car model unveiled by Russia's biggest auto manufacturer earlier this month is generating buzz, but not necessarily for the right reasons. The buzz about AvtoVAZ's Lada Granta Classic -- priced to sell at 678,300 rubles ($12,500) -- is about what it doesn't have: No airbags. No antilock brakes. No electronic stability system. No pretensioners to make the seat belts work properly. No GPS. An engine that complies with emissions standards from 26 years ago. THE REASON FOR ALL THIS? Western sanctions, imposed to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, that have disrupted imports and roiled supply chains...

Maria Teresa Kumar is a self-proclaimed Catholic and former member of the board of Planned Parenthood. She was also the Saturday guest host of MSNBC’s Velshi where she accused the Supreme Court of implementing Catholicism across the country after it struck down Roe v. Wade. During a discussion with Slate editor, podcaster, and NBC law and politics analyst Dahlia Lithwick, Kumar declared the U.S. is now going against global trends, “just last year we saw South American countries, heavily Catholic countries like Colombia, like Mexico, saying that abortion was the law of the land. We have a Supreme Court justice...

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...
