LIVE: **8th** January 6 Committee Hearing 7/21 I know most don't care but if you do want to watch the fiction, Breitbart now streams many live events on Rumble

The Norwalk-LaMirada Unified School District in Southern California planned to vote on a program that would allow Planned Parenthood to open a facility at John Glenn High School in Norwalk. But they didn’t anticipate the overwhelmingly negative response from parents. Originally, the school district planned to have a vote on the issue during a school board meeting on July 18th. But in a short press release, they announced the vote would be postponed, with no rescheduled date given. It is believed that the widespread anger from parents over the plan may have led to the proposal being abandoned. If the...

[Catholic Caucus] Vatican-approved journal suggests Pope Francis might soon contradict Church’s birth control ban‘It is legitimate to ask if Pope Francis will give us a new encyclical or apostolic exhortation on bioethics that might be called ‘Gaudium Vitae,’’ wrote La Civilta Cattolica.VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — A Vatican approved publication has published an article asking if Pope Francis might write “a new encyclical or apostolic exhortation on bioethics” in line with a recent document from the Pontifical Academy for Life which undermines certain aspects of Catholic morality.On July 2, Father Jorge José Ferrer, S.J. published an article in Jesuit-run publication La...

After she was told last year that the fetus did not have a heartbeat and she no longer had a viable pregnancy, the Texas woman asked her doctor to perform a dilation and curettage, or D and C — a standard procedure to remove the fetus following a miscarriage to help prevent infection or long-term health problems. Stell had the procedure after her first miscarriage in 2018 in Washington state, when she felt so much pain that she could not walk, and she wanted to go through with it again before trying again for a second child, she told The...

Planned Parenthood has freshly scrubbed its website in light of the media’s attempts to convince women that ectopic pregnancy treatments and other lifesaving procedures are actually abortions. Induced abortion, however, is the intentional killing of a human being before birth. What did Planned Parenthood purge? A sentence that read, “Treating an ectopic pregnancy isn’t the same thing as getting an abortion.” The clear distinction that abortion is not necessary to treat dangerous ectopic pregnancies was present on the Planned Parenthood website in 2020, 2021, and most of this year — even as late as July 14, 2022. Since the Supreme...

We are now living in a post-Roe v. Wade America, and women are already being bombarded by heavy-handed pro-abortion messages suggesting that abortion bans will block access to authentic medical care and treatments. Women in states that enact legislation protecting life, fear-mongering pro-abortion voices shout, won’t be able to receive treatment for pregnancy complications that thousands face every year—from ectopic pregnancy to miscarriage. Recent news articles predict rising maternal mortality rates, describing a world in which doctors, hands tied by austere abortion restrictions, have no choice but to look away while their patients die of sepsis or hemorrhage. Fortunately for...

Today, Robert Barnes came out and said the Trump/DeSantis ticket is already decided. I've read comments from people that the president and VP cannot be from the same state. That is not true, however, there is an issue with electoral votes under a scenario like this. I read this same situation arose with Bush/Cheney as they were both living in TX at the time. Right before the election, Cheney moved back to Wyoming and resolved the issue. Below is an article that shows Trump moved to NJ. This sure seems like he's preparing to negate the problem of both candidates...

... A détente with Russia and China that accepts China’s dominance in global high-technology manufacturing and its corresponding rise as a dominant military power would be a surrender in slow-motion. It would mean the end of America’s aspirations, and a British-style decline into strategic irrelevance. But a détente that takes grim inventory of our own failings and buys us time to rebuild our technological edge is another matter. The idea will not be popular among American politicians who find it easier to denounce Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping than to remedy our weakness at home. But it is the only...

If you've followed my writings over the years, you know I have never gotten overly excited about any (if ever) of the numerous Rapture theories floating across the Internet. That means I intentionally missed out on the: 2011 Craze (2018 - 7 years), 2012 Mayan Calendar hysteria, 2014-16 Blood Moon hype, 2017's September 23rd Revelation 12 frenzy, et cetera. Maybe I'm just jaded like that, but when one holds to a doctrine of imminence (as I do) I've learned early on not to get swept up with the latest and greatest hysteria that comes and goes with increasing frequency. But...

Recently, a reader named Kim sent me an email in which she speculated about the possibility of the Jewish day of mourning known as Tisha B'Av (the Ninth of Av) being connected with the Rapture. She seemed pretty excited about the idea, and she just wanted to get my response. Although I had seen mention of the Ninth of Av in regard to the First and Second Temples before, I confess that I was only marginally aware of the significance of the date to the Jewish people and the gravity with which it is observed. And needless to say, I...

Covenant between humanity, environment needed, pope saysVATICAN CITY (CNS) — Humanity can no longer ignore the cries of the earth that is suffering due to greed and the excessive consumption of its resources, Pope Francis said.In his message for the World Day of Prayer for Creation, the pope said the current climate crisis is a call for men and women, especially Christians, to “repent and modify our lifestyles and destructive systems.”“The present state of decay of our common home merits the same attention as other global challenges such as grave health crises and wars. Living our vocation to be protectors...

A Swiss court has found a 28-year-old man guilty of inventing a hate crime after the man had falsely claimed to have been attacked but actually carved a swastika into his own face. The 28-year-old mixed-race man had claimed in January to have been attacked by a group of German-speaking individuals who approached him in the city of Neuchâtel, pushed him to the ground, beat him and carved a swastika into the side of his cheek and made monkey noises toward him in an apparent hate crime. The man posted a picture of the alleged result of the attack on...

PORTLAND, OR- Ah yes, the good old days of summer camp. Some arts and crafts, a little fishing and boating, some field games, late night campfires…yes, good times. Now, the 2022 version of summer camp in a far-left hellhole, this time in the home of far-left extremist wackos, Portland, Oregon. The Post Millennial tells us that bastion of American values, Antifa, is hosting a summer camp for future terrorists. Seriously. PM says a Portland-based Antifa group called “Budding Roses” will (seriously) host an “Antifascist social justice summer camp” for children aged 10 to 14 starting on July 25. Kids...

The happiest place on Earth devolved into a slugfest Wednesday as two families engaged in a violent brawl at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World. Captured on video, the Jerry Springer-like incident — which took place in Fantasyland — appeared to involve two families throwing punches and dragging each other on the ground while shouting profanity. Watch below: A family wearing matching outfits pushed a guest from the other family when in line for Mickey’s PhilharMagic, according to a report from WDW News Today. After exiting, the family in matching shirts allegedly waited outside the theater to confront the other...

San Francisco, one of California’s most progressive cities, has has fenced-off a plaza within its Mission district due to blackmarket activity and rampant open-air drug use. The lawlessness has greatly disturbed the neighborhood, San Francisco District 9 Supervisor Hillary Ronen shared on Twitter Wednesday, forcing her to close off access to the problematic area until the situation is resolved. “While it is never my desire to close public space the situation at 24th & Mission BART plaza has become untenable & is causing problems for the whole neighborhood. It infuriates me to see a once beautiful & vibrant community space...

[H/T Melian]Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’),...

U.S. forces are now considering sending fighter jets to Ukraine as it continues to face an assault from Russia, according to Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall. Lieutenant Colonel Kendall said that Ukraine is busy dealing with its 'right now problem' in an allusion to its ground-based fighting in the Donbas region. But he also said that assistance in the form of aircraft may be needed. 'We'll be open to discussions with them about what their requirements are and how we might be able to satisfy them,' the Air Force head said during the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Wednesday....

“The estimate is derived from NSSF research, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Exportation Report (AFMER) and U.S. International Trade Commission (U.S. ITC) data, in cooperation with manufacturers, importers and exporters of MSRs, or AR-15 and AK-style rifles,” the press release notes. “This most recent estimate includes production figures current through 2020, when the industry estimates over 2,798,000 of these rifles were produced or imported.” In light of the new figures, NSSF points out there are more AR/AK-style firearms “in circulation today than there are Ford F-Series trucks on the road.” NSSF President and...

Members of a key conservative caucus on Capitol Hill are planning to visit former President Donald Trump in Bedminster, New Jersey, in a few weeks, Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) told Breitbart News on Wednesday.Banks, who serves as chair of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), which is the largest congressional caucus, said the group visited Trump at his New Jersey residence last year and that it has another visit now slated for early August.“RSC has visited with him many times before. We have a very close relationship with him, and the Republican Study Committee believes he’s the most effective president in...
