‘The kids were all just screaming. It was all just very scary and traumatic,’ Ryan-Marie Houck described.(LifeSiteNews) – A well-known pro-life author, sidewalk counselor, and father of seven was the latest victim of a U.S. Department of Justice-sponsored SWAT raid and arrest — for supposed “FACE Act” violations — at his rural home as his children looked on “screaming.” Mark Houck is the founder and president of The King’s Men, which promotes healing for victims of pornography addiction and promotes Christian virtues among men in the United States and Europe. According to his wife Ryan-Marie, who spoke with LifeSiteNews, he...

The White House made a $22 billion funding request to keep the federal COVID-19 response going. However, last week in an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes," President Biden said the “pandemic is over." He later added that the U.S. still has "a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot to work on it.” Republicans are using these comments to push back against any additional request for funding. Fauci and other public health experts say additional resources are still needed and worry Biden's comments may have set them back. Fauci told Politico that what Biden "really meant is that...

Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) comment that she will not be a Republican if former President Trump wins the party’s 2024 presidential nomination is sparking chatter that she might mount an independent White House run. While Cheney lost her House primary to the former president’s endorsed candidate last month, her break with the MAGA wing of the GOP has made her the leader of the anti-Trump movement among Republicans and beyond.

The United States is hemorrhaging debt. The principal cause of consumer price inflation running above 8% on an annual basis is too much federal government spending. Before the pandemic, federal debt held by the public was already on an unsustainable trajectory. It is largely caused by overly generous entitlements and a shrinking working population to pay for benefits for an increasing number of elderly citizens. In his March State of the Union address, Biden claimed he would be "the only president ever to cut the deficit by more than $1 trillion in a single year." That's laugh-out-loud material. In reality,...

The jilted girlfriend of British man who dumped her for Ukrainian refugee he welcomed into their home after Putin's invasion has ruled out getting back together with him and said she 'knew it would end in disaster for them'. Tony Garnett, 30, ditched his partner of ten years Lorna Garnett, 22, for Sofiia Karkadym just 10 days after she arrived at their Bradford home. Just four months later, the security guard now claims that he has broken up with Sofiia and thrown her out of their rented home, after accusing her of not being able to handle alcohol, using a...

An attorney for the far-right Oath Keepers militia charged for her role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol texted former Trump aide Andrew Giuliani in November 2020 about the presidential election, according to former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-Va.). Kellye SoRelle, the attorney, also attempted to message a White House number in December of that year, NBC News reported. The report was based on Riggleman’s soon-to-be released book, “The Breach.”

Once the child’s hand hit his crotch, a moral, sexually healthy adult man would have leaped backward as if a hot wire had touched him and hollered for the child’s parents to take her away. This guy giggled and demonstrated with his own hand that she should keep doing it. I felt sullied watching that innocent little girl being used sexually. And of course, one of the “performers” inevitably rolled around on the floor making sure all and sundry saw his crotch. This is wrong, and it bespeaks a deep societal sickness that adult sexual jokes and parodies, without any...

The womb of the 20th century conceived a monstrous form of government called “liberal democracy”—called so inaccurately, for it is neither liberal nor democratic. It is a soft totalitarianism that, because it advances beneath the tattered banner of progress, claims the moral authority to declare all alternative political arrangements illegitimate. In the liberal democratic world system, every nation has the right to self-determination only so long as it is determined to become a liberal democracy. In this maximalist war footing against its ideological competitors, it is not unlike Bolshevism. “Communism and liberal democracy proved to be all-unifying entities compelling their...

"I think that there is going to be such a landslide against the traitors, especially against the 147 Republicans who just hours after the insurrection, voted to not certify the elected president of the United States Joe Biden, and I think there is going to be so many people coming out to vote," Moore said.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a change to its guidance late last week and will no longer require nursing homes and hospitals to require masking in some areas. In a revision on Sept. 23, the CDC said that nursing home facilities and hospitals in a number of areas without “high” community transmission can choose not to require” all doctors, patients, and visitors to wear masks. It’s one of many changes to the CDC’s COVID-19 guidance since August when the agency’s leadership announced an overhaul of how it responds to pandemics. “Updates were made to reflect...

As a mayoral candidate in 2005, Senate hopeful John Fetterman adopted a unique tactic to appeal to the youth of Braddock, Pa.: tout the borough’s connections to the notorious Crips street gang. After his election, he downplayed the gang’s prevalence in his town, and attributed some of their gang activity to the acts of "disenfranchised" and "disenchanted" youth. During his first mayoral run in 2005, Fetterman adopted the slogan "Vote John Mayor of Braddocc," a nod to the spelling that local Crips gang members used for the town. After he was elected, Fetterman created the website Braddocc.com as part of...

The final scheduled hearing from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol will feature documentary clips of former Trump adviser Roger Stone predicting political violence after the 2020 election. The Washington Post reported on Monday that the Wednesday hearing will broadcast film footage from a Danish crew led by director Christoffer Guldbrandsen, who is making a documentary about Stone called “A Storm Foretold,” expected for release later this year. The Danish crew’s footage captured Stone predicting months before the 2020 election that Trump would use armed guards and loyal judges to stay in power,...

New information confirms that a massive FBI raid on the home of a pro-life family in Pennsylvania and the arrest of a father of seven children was based on a bogus charge that a court had already dismissed. As LifeNews reported, Joe Biden’s FBI has raided the home of a well-known pro-life advocate and arrested him in front of his crying children on a bogus charge that had already been thrown out of court. Biden’s administration is coming under fire for weaponizing the FBI and Department of Justice to target pro-life conservatives. Mark Houck, a father of seven, is frequently...

Russia said on Monday (Sep 26) it had detained a Japanese diplomat based in the eastern city of Vladivostok for carrying out espionage-related work and declared the official person non grata, news agencies reported. "A Japanese diplomat was detained red-handed while receiving classified information, in exchange for money, about Russia's cooperation with another country in the Asia-Pacific region," the FSB security service said in a statement, carried by Russian news agencies. The diplomat had also been soliciting information about "the impact of Western sanctions" on the eastern Primorsky region, the FSB said, according to news agencies.

As has been well documented, the pandemic had many unexpected consequences over the past few years, not the least of which was a boom in trade book sales in both 2020 and 2021. But while the trade segment fared well in 2020, the other major publishing segments did not, and total industry sales had only a 0.2% gain that year over 2019. In 2021, trade sales jumped again, but so did sales in the other segments, resulting in a 12.3% increase in total sales, to $29.33 billion, according to the Association of American Publishers’ final statistics for the year. The...

The Biden family was selling U.S natural gas to China long before Joe Biden became president, who was aware of how his son Hunter Biden was making the sale possible, according to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, citing documents and information provided by a whistleblower. Hunter Biden had a Chinese Communist Party member as his assistant while dealing with the Chinese side for the shipping of American natural gas to China in 2017, and the Biden family was promising business associates that they would reap rewards once Biden became president, said Comer in a...
