Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost went on Primetime with Jesse Watters on Fox News on Monday and dropped some serious truth bombs on the viral but sketchy story of a 10-year-old pregnant rape victim that abortionist Dr. Caitlin Bernard claimed traveled to Indiana for an abortion because of Ohio’s restrictive abortion law. We’ve poured a lot of cold water on her unbelievable and unverifiable claims over the last week, and now Yost has weighed in with more shocking details. “We have regular contact with prosecutors and local police and sheriffs and not a whisper anywhere,” said Yost. “Something maybe even...

Two highly distinguished emeritus professors — William Happer, Professor of Physics, Emeritus of Princeton and Richard Lindzen, Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Emeritus of MIT — have called out the corruption of science in the global warming/climate change fraud. Their emeritus status is vital in giving them the freedom to speak frankly, because they are not dependent on a continuing flow of research grants to fund their work. Ever since the alarm was raised that global warming was an existential threat, billions of dollars a year has flowed to scientists willing to support the alarmist position, and thereby...

Freakin EU, oh wait...

Since its creation in the mid-2000s, the BRICS group of major emerging economies has promoted extensive cooperation between members, and recently, has begun pushing for a global realignment of geopolitical power to better match members' economic, geographic and demographic potential with their position in the international order. The BRICS group of nations could create a new world reserve currency to better serve their economic interests, former president and prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, has indicated. "The best protection against the rotting euro will be the transition to new payment methods in...

SBA Pro-Life America Candidate Fund announced its endorsement for DeSantis for re-election for his pro-life stance as a governor in the U.S. “Were proud to endorse Governor Ron DeSantis, a fearless advocate for the unborn and their mothers and for the will of Floridians,” the SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. This comes after the pro-abortion mob went mad after the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade. In response, DeSantis promised to “expand pro-life protections.” Earlier this year, DeSantis signed a legislation that protected the life of an unborn baby after 15 weeks of pregnancy....

Trump White House aide’s bid to delay case due to Jan. 6 panel hearings is denied. A federal judge on Monday eviscerated nearly all of Steve Bannon’s defenses against a charge that he criminally defied a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee, leaving the longtime Donald Trump ally with few options to fight the contempt of Congress case against him. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols also denied Bannon’s bid to postpone for three months the jury trial set to open next Monday, rejecting defense arguments that such a delay was warranted due to intense media coverage around the ongoing...

FIFTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MATTHEW 11:20–24 Friends, today Jesus declares judgment on the towns of Galilee that did not believe in him and repent. He stands at the end of the long line of prophets God sent in order to reconcile his people to himself. Like the prophets before him, Jesus is ignored, mocked, and rejected. What happens as a result of man’s refusal of God? Not nothing. God’s judgment falls on the unfaithful nation. What is the instrument of God’s justice? One of the heathen nations, the Chaldeans, come and destroy the city of Jerusalem, burn the temple,...

Jankowicz was scrutinized for her history of spreading misinformation, such as a story denying the existence of the Hunter Biden laptop. According to critics, DHS’ new board resembled George Orwell’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ from 1984 and was designed to silence conservative voices. It is clear from the novel that the ministry was used to spread information – and that it was able to rewrite the history of a fictional world in order to change the facts. After just a few weeks, the DHS shut down the board for a “pause”, and its head, Jankowicz, resigned.

For years, Russian officials have used trolling to sow division and confusion abroad. Give them a taste of their own medicine. ...It can and will make you feel better. And yes, you can do it in English. These people monitor their replies, on Twitter especially. It’s how their bureaucracy works, they are interested in engagement... 1.

There abides in the living recall of my generation — and among widely scattered remnants of the traditional America that yet survives — one of the greatest spiritual weapons we can wield: our national motto. I was not yet two years old when both Houses of Congress passed a joint resolution declaring "IN GOD WE TRUST" the official motto of the United States. There was no debate, nor a single dissenting vote. By law, it remains America's watchword to this day, Public Law 84-851, signed by Eisenhower on July 30, 1956. The Senate reaffirmed the motto in 2006, as did...

When President McKinley was shot in 1901, few thought his life was in danger. And so V.P. Theodore Roosevelt continued family vacation in the Adirondacks until a messenger arrived with the news that McKinley had died and therefore they were now the first family. Years later, TR's oldest daughter Alice Roosevelt Longworth recalled the evening for a friend. who remarked: "Oh, that must have been a moment of terrible sadness." Upon which Alice looked at him, askance. "Are you joking?”

COVID-19 restrictions have damaged children developmentally in ways that might be irreparable, teachers say. From early childhood to high school, children rely on facial expressions, social interaction, conversation with new people, and friendships to develop mentally. Children denied social interaction don’t grow mentally in the same way. When governments closed in-person schooling for months, cracked down on activities like play dates, and ordered families to stay home it plunged children into painful isolation. Now, teachers across America say the lockdown generation lags behind those raised in normal years. Older children have fewer friends and slower minds, while some of the...

US National Security Adviser Sullivan says Tehran set to ship ‘several hundred’ of the UAVs to Russian military, provide training WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Monday said it believes Russia is turning to Iran to provide it with hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles, including weapons-capable drones, for use in its ongoing war in Ukraine. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said it was unclear whether Iran had already provided any of the unmanned systems to Russia, but said the US has “information” that indicates Iran is preparing to train Russian forces to use them as soon as this...

A $20 million proposal to put an abortion clinic off the coast of Alabama in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico will not work, according to former U.S. Attorney Jay Town. During an interview with Mobile radio FM Talk 106.5's "The Jeff Poor Show" on Monday, the former U.S. Attorney for Alabama's Northern District said although the act of abortion, prohibited in Alabama by the 2019 Human Life Protection Act, would be committed in federal waters, the host vessel would still be governed by law from the state of which it had departed. According to Town, the gesture proposed...

Harrowing video footage shows 7- and 8-year-old baseball players cowering for cover as gunshots rang out at a Little League state championship game in North Carolina. The footage showed under-8 players as well as the adults officiating initially frozen in fear as at least three shots rang out Sunday — with one landing just feet from a player, WITN said. Most of the players then dropped to the ground while a handful fled the field in Wilson as a chorus of adults screamed, “Get down!” The clip ended with the youngsters on the ground trying to crawl to safety. “No...

The Kremlin says that Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Iran next week.

A petition in Ukraine calling for same-sex marriage to be legalised has gained enough signatures for the president to consider the proposal. The petition has more than 28,000 signatures, meaning President Volodymyr Zelensky now has 10 days to respond. Homosexuality is not illegal in Ukraine, but same-sex marriages and civil partnerships are not recognised. This has caused particular problems for LGBT people signing up for the military following Russia's invasion.
