Cue all of the woke corporations standing up to the SCOTUS’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade by offering to pay for travel expenses for women who want an abortion. Companies such as Disney and JP Morgan wasted no time to appeal to the masses of leftist robots vowing to resist the ruling, making it easy for their employees to have easy access to the procedure. In a statement, child-indoctrinating Disney said they will provide coverage for “pregnancy related decisions.” “We recognize the impact of the ruling and that we remain committed to providing comprehensive access to quality and affordable...

Patients with advanced kidney cancer who received a new combination treatment reported health-related quality of life outcomes that were either similar or improved, compared to patients who received standard first-line therapy, according to a study. The findings underscore the potential for the new treatment combination in improving patients' course of treatment and extending survival, said David Cella, Ph.D. "Effective treatment options have never been better for this disease. Patients' reports of how they are feeling and functioning is certainly meaningful to them, and also can help clinicians when guiding continued quality care," said Cellaz Advanced kidney cancer occurs when cancer...

President Joe Biden does not support Democrats pushing to expand the Supreme Court, the White House announced on Saturday.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed the president's position on the issue during an Air Force Once press gaggle. Some Democrats have argued for court-packing in recent years, but those calls were amplified following SCOTUS' decision to overrule key abortion cases Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey on Friday.Many of Biden's fellow Democrats have argued for expanding the court to offset the influence of the three justices appointed under former President Donald Trump's administration. "So, I know I've… I...

Tom Taylor @TomTaylorFO Sat 18th Jun 2022 17.08 BST Bob Dylan called it the “greatest song ever written” and while it may have been lauded by noble dignitaries of culture ever since it was released, derided at every turn, it is this proclamation that seems most significant. The poignancy of the praise does not reside in the fact that it came from a revered numen of the arts, but rather because during the era in which it was written no other musician was extolling virtues with as much vivacious truth as Dylan himself. When these profound, poetic and prescient, but...

Congressional primary runoffs with incumbents are rare in Mississippi. This year, two of the state's Republican representatives are fighting to keep their jobs in runoffs against challengers from their own party. U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo is seeking a seventh term and was considered vulnerable after being accused in a 2021 congressional ethics report of abusing his office by misspending campaign funds. U.S. Rep. Michael Guest is seeking a third term. He voted to create an independent commission to investigate the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and was forced into a runoff amid criticism that he was...

Apparently New Yorker contributing writer Graciela Mochkofsky hasn't gotten the message yet, which has been repeated over and over again for the past few years, that a vast majority of the Spanish speaking community in the United States finds the incredibly awkward word "Latinx" to be both absurd as well as offensive.In 2020, Washington Post reporter Jose A. Del Real wrote that "Users of “Latinx” are accused of being out of touch with working-class Latino communities and of practicing linguistic imperialism on the Spanish language, which, like French and Italian, is grammatically gendered."Mochkofsky's Friday story, "A Different Kind of Bid...

One day after the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, which gave constitutional abortion rights to women for more than 50 years, a Texas senator is now going viral online for comparing it to another landmark ruling that was overruled related to racial segregation.

“‘Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it’” (Matthew 7:13–14). Entering through the narrow gate makes a few demands on the person passing through. First, he must enter alone. You can bring no one else and nothing else with you. Some have suggested that the gate is like a turnstile: only one person can get through at a time, and...

Since around the middle of May 2022, you will have most likely heard or seen the word Monkeypox mentioned numerous times in the mainstream media. Allegedly, for the first time since its discovery among humans in Africa over 50 years ago, the monkeypox virus is circulating throughout several countries including the USA, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia and most of Europe all at the same time. But it just so happens that every single country where monkeypox is allegedly circulating is also a country that has distributed the Pfizer Covid-19 injection to its population; excluding some countries in Africa where the...

It's a particularly tremendous feat as...

As a columnist, my job is to get really angry at something and then sit back and rant a bit. Today I do so strangely happy, after hearing the news that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. The paradox of being a conservative is that we love to party, but have little to celebrate, at least lately. Today I will drink to life. That the left continues to insist that the Constitution — it doesn’t matter if it’s the American one or any of the European Constitutions — guarantees anything even remotely resembling the right to abortion is...

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made the overturning of Roe vs. Wade personal to make her point ... telling protesters in NYC she had been raped and thank God abortion was an option, although that never came to pass. The NYC rep was front and center at the rally in Union Square, where she explained why the right to an abortion is essential as a path forward for many women.

Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos and former Russian deputy prime minister in charge of the defense industry, sent a shocking call on his Twitter account on Monday night, calling for a genocide in Ukraine, “for the sake of our grandchildren.”“In general, what has happened in place of Ukraine poses an existential threat to the Russian people, Russian history, the Russian language and Russian civilization,” “It simply came to our notice then [pe ucraineni] now, unfortunately, our grandparents did not finish it with them, we will have to die, but at an even higher cost for our grandchildren. So let’s...
