Elijah passed near to him and threw his cloak over him. Elisha left his oxen and ran after Elijah. ‘Let me kiss my father and mother,...

Look how much hatred your favorite celebrities and companies harbor for you in the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson. In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, the corporate and entertainment world have joined the pro-abortion chorus in denouncing the decision, the Court, and the pro-life movement. Their reaction has been swift and predictable. The Hollywood crowd wasted no time screeching on social media, according to Newsweek. Bette Midler wrote about the Court: "They did it. THEY DID IT TO US. ... How dare they?" She called a woman who suggested...

Video of a touching series of events from a major league baseball game went mega-viral after a man gave his prized foul ball to a kid sitting nearby in the stands. The incident unfolded at the game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Kansas City Royals in Anaheim, California. A player on the Royals threw a baseball into the crowd, and a man caught it. After a moment of celebration, the man tossed it to a young boy sitting near in front of him. Later in the game, the boy got a chance to pay him back. The boy's...

If ever an action did not have an equal and opposite reaction, this Roe decision from the Supreme Court is it. ... On one side is the gnashing of teeth, the uninhibited profanity, the shrieking, the obscene gestures and the stripping off of clothing in public (what that has to do with the abortion issue is beyond me). There is the threat of violence, the post-Dobbs retributive intention of expanding abortion to include infanticide (it’s coming), and the seditious threats of elected officials to incite violence and civil disobedience. All of that is evil, almost demonic in its intensity. On...

In a June 25 tweet, Canadian pollster John Corbett wrote, "Clarence Thomas: Just another dumb field n*gger" from an account that was almost immediately suspended. Advertisement Adam B. Coleman, author and The Post Millennial contributor, posted a screenshot of the hateful and racist remark on Twitter and wrote, "He says n*gger with such ease. These are the self righteous people who see black people as either an acceptable n*gger or a "field n*gger"... Either way, we'll always be n*ggers to @johnVcorbett because our purpose is to serve a master."

Why are Democrats so violent when something doesn't go their way? The recent ruling from the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade launched a thousand protests, which the Democrats called "The Night of Rage." In Washington D.C., hundreds of pro-abortion ‘activists’ marched, shouted slogans, and held signs outside the Supreme Court building and beyond. Crowds ‘demonstrated’ before the federal building in downtown Chicago. The cacophony of ‘protests’ was also witnessed at the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta, the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison, and in Flint, Michigan. There were ‘marches’ in downtown Seattle, Philadelphia, Boston, and Los Angeles. There were ‘demonstrations’...

Imagine being the manager of a Planned Parenthood clinic in a red state with an abortion trigger law this morning. In one fail swoop, the Supreme Court Dobbs decision not only stripped women of the fundamental right to reproductive freedom you have spent a lifetime championing, but it literally put you out of business. It must be so depressing, but you can still hold your head high, knowing that no matter how bad the past 24 hours have been for you, it’s nothing compared to sense of humiliating defeat Dobbs has visited upon ‘True Conservative’ Nevertrumpers. For the Nevertrumper, there’s...

Joe Biden and his puppet masters want to destroy fossil fuel use in the name of an unproven theory called "man-made global climate change." … In order to solve a problem, one must first understand complicity. There is no redemption if there is no admission of guilt, and then remorseful contrition. Every problem has a solution, and every error can be rectified. … Since the party in power doesn't understand cause and effect, or the Democrats intentionally sabotaged a successful economy, redemption won't grace our nation until the culprits have all left Washington. On both sides of the aisle. This...

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...

Bachelorette star Brooke Blurton has put her feud with Abbie Chatfield to rest in an Instagram post on Sunday. 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. In her candid Instagram post, Brooke revealed that she had an abortion a 'very little time ago' and called on women to 'come together'. Abbie shared with her fans 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...

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. Protests erupted on Friday following the court's ruling to overtun women's federal right to abortions, with 26 states expected to futher restirct or outight ban abortions. Outrage over the decision is expected to carry on over the weekend through the chaotic protests, as Capitol Police said two people were arrested on Saturday for throwing paint...

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...
