The shift is the very fact that there is suddenly coverage of the Hunter Biden scandal. From CNN to NPR, reporters are now acknowledging that the infamous laptop is not "Russian disinformation" as was widely claimed before the 2020 election. After years of burying the story, the media is now attempting an even more precarious exercise. It is called controlled demolition: the...

The student, Grace Hartsock, was going door-to-door to turn out Kansas voters for a Tuesday referendum on abortion law. The incident occurred when she approached a home in Leawood, according to Students for Life, the organization with which Hartsock was volunteering.

“Emergency Use Authorization” (EUA) came into prominence with the “Right to Try” law. This law was another way for patients who had been diagnosed with life-threatening diseases, who had tried all approved treatment options and who were unable to participate in a clinical trial, to access certain unapproved treatments. What is the difference between FDA Approval and Emergency Use Authorization? “FDA Approval” from the Food and Drug Administration is an independent, scientifically reviewed approval for medical products, drugs and vaccines. Approval is based on substantial clinical data and evidence, the product is deemed safe, effective and able to be produced...

VIDEOThe Morning Joe show had trouble accepting the sweeping results of the Arizona primary elections to the extent that an embittered Willie Geist declared that "The Big Lie swept Arizona." Liberals who can't handle the truth love to rub their "Big Lie" comfort towel. Expect many more liberal incantations of "The Big Lie" from now until the end of 2024.

The abortion lobby, as promised in their summer of rage, has stooped to a new low with a wrongful attack of a Students for Life Action (SFLAction) volunteer this past weekend in Kansas. Between church defamations, firebombed pregnancy resource centers, and the attempted assassination of a Supreme Court Justice, the violence of abortion is spreading like a wildfire through supporters who have resorted to abuse against those who support life. On Sunday, July 30, an 18-year-old SFLAction volunteer named Grace Hartsock took to the neighborhoods of Overland Park, Kansas to canvass in support of the Value Them Both amendment. Hartsock...

PARIS (AP) — Fanning out like urban guerrillas through Paris’ darkened streets well after midnight, the anti-waste activists shinny up walls and drain pipes, reaching for switches to turn off the lights. Click. Click. Click. One by one, the outdoor lights that stores had left on are extinguished. It’s one small but symbolic step in a giant leap of energy saving that Europe is trying to make as it rushes to wean itself off natural gas and oil from Russia so factories aren’t forced to close and homes stay heated and powered. The stakes are high. If Russia severs the...

WASHINGTON — The Senate is expected to vote Wednesday on a resolution to ratify Finland's and Sweden's applications to join NATO as the Western military alliance seeks to strengthen its resolve against the threat posed by Russia. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday evening that the chamber would vote Wednesday afternoon the resolution and a pair of GOP amendments. "Our NATO alliance is the bedrock that has guaranteed democracy in the Western world since the end of World War II," Schumer said on the Senate floor.

A group of religious leaders, including two supposedly Christian pastors, filed lawsuits Monday challenging a Florida law that protects unborn babies by banning abortions after 15 weeks. Reuters reports the pastors from the United Church of Christ and the Episcopal Church claim the pro-life law violates their free speech and freedom of religion. Three Jewish rabbis, a Buddhist lama and a Unitarian Universalist minister also filed lawsuits Monday making the same claim. The Reducing Fetal and Infant Mortality Act, which went into effect July 1, bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions if the mother’s life is at...

The pro-life movement suffered a defeat in Kansas on Tuesday when the state overwhelmingly voted to uphold abortion “rights.” The vote in Kansas on Tuesday centered on whether or not the state would remove abortion rights protections in the State Constitution, potentially paving the way for “state lawmakers to pass far-reaching abortion restrictions, or even to pursue a ban,” according to the New York Times. With 76 percent reporting, the “No” votes to keep abortion rights in place beat the “Yes” votes by double digits – 62.2 percent versus 37.7 percent as of this writing. Both NBC News and the...

Kansas residents voted to protect the right to get an abortion in their state, rejecting a measure that would have allowed their Republican-controlled Legislature to tighten abortion restrictions or ban it outright. Voters rejected a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would have added language stating that it does not grant the right to abortion. A 2019 state Supreme Court decision declared that access to abortion is a 'fundamental' right under the state's Bill of Rights, preventing a ban and potentially thwarting legislative efforts to enact new restrictions.

On Monday, far-left billionaire George Soros declared that he would continue to financially support district attorneys and other candidates who are explicitly soft on crime, falsely claiming that such candidates will make the criminal justice system “more effective and just.” The New York Post reports that the 91-year-old Soros, in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, stated that “I have no intention of stopping” his support for prosecutors who deliberately reduce criminal penalties and refuse to enforce certain laws. Soros pointed to such examples as Alvin Bragg, the new District Attorney for Manhattan, whom Soros falsely called “popular” and...

Australia survived booms and busts, two World Wars, and the Great Depression only to run aground on pure ridiculousness. There is an ominous buzz in the new Australian Parliament — Albo and the Greens are planning to pass 40 new bills, quick smart. Each bill will probably need 100 new regulations and 200 new inspectors, auditors, and enforcers plus many new taxes and fees. They will not deliver "Net Zero" — they are "Net Negative." They will divert labor and capital from productive activities to bureaucracies and green energy speculators. Where are the 40 old bills that Green-Albo will repeal...
