Mehmet Oz’s failure to capture a Pennsylvania Senate seat is due, in part, to his refusal to position on abortion in a “mature, deliberative, and principled manner,” a major pro-life leader said on Wednesday. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser applauded those candidates who aggressively defined their own stances on abortion, explained their opponents’ extreme stances, and then exploited the contrast between the two. “Works every time,” she said. “Candidates who conversely adopt the ostrich strategy, which is putting their head in the sand and hoping the reality goes away, or the possum strategy, which is to pretend...

Voters in three cities in Texas and Nebraska strongly approved local ordinances Tuesday that ban abortions and declare their communities to be sanctuaries for unborn babies. In Texas, voters in Abilene approved a Sanctuary City for the Unborn ordinance with 53 percent voting in favor and 47 percent against, KTAB News reports. The action was especially significant because Abilene was the home of Sarah Weddington, one of the two pro-abortion lawyers who argued the case Roe v. Wade, which forced states to legalize abortion on demand. “Many people are seeing this effort as a way that Abilene can redeem history...

Nebraska soon may be able to pass legislation to protect unborn babies from abortion after Tuesday election results show Republicans winning a filibuster-proof majority in the state legislature. Although Republicans currently control the state legislature, they fell a few votes short of the two-thirds majority necessary to overcome a filibuster and pass pro-life legislation this year. Now, they may have those votes. The Grand Island Independent reports election results Wednesday morning show Republicans gaining enough seats in the Nebraska Legislature to overcome a filibuster. Some votes are still being counted, but both the Independent and the Nebraska Examiner predict Republicans...

Election officials in the largest county in Nevada said Wednesday that ballot counting will continue through next week, though the majority of 2022 ballots could be counted by Friday, as the nation anxiously awaits election results for the state’s Senate seat. Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria said in a news conference that Tuesday, Nov. 15, is the deadline to verify mail-in ballots and Thursday, Nov. 17, is the latest date for releasing the final, unofficial election results. Gloria said the county has more than 14,700 ballots they did not count but will go into the system by Wednesday...

o hear it from political pundits, abortion hurt Republicans in the midterm elections and the GOP should consider downplaying the pro-life message. But nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that pro-life candidates in states across the country fared well. And when it comes to Republican governors who signed abortion bans, every single one won their re-election. “GOP pro-life candidates win in competitive races if they define their opponents as abortion extremists who support abortion on demand with no limits, and contrast that with a clearly defined pro-life position centered around consensus such as pain-capable or heartbeat...

SHE IS WITHIN 4000 VOTES!!!!

The Miss Greater Derry pageant in New Hampshire just selected its winner to compete for the Miss New Hampshire contest. The winner is none other than a biological male. Brían Nguyen was and still is a biological male yet won the contest for MISS Greater Derry Scholarship along with a crown and title. He goes by “she/her/hers” according to his Instagram profile. It makes me laugh that he entered the contest as a female yet still went by the name Brían. Maybe the accent was left to keep the name more feminine? The Miss Greater Derry Scholarship program was founded...

With control of the Senate up in the air, the crucial Senate race in Georgia will be heading to a December 6th runoff between pro-abortion Democrat incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock and pro-life GOP challenger Herschel Walker. Currently, both candidates are seperated by just 35,000 votes and under the 50% threshhold needed to avoid a runoff. Warnock currently has 49.42% of the more than 3.9 million votes cast to Walker’s 48.52%. With Senate races in Arizona and Nevada yet to be decided there is a potential that the Georgia race may determine whether or not pro-life Republicans capture the Senate from...

While we wait for Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia to count their votes with the urgency of a DMV staffer on break, maybe Republicans should not accept the invitation from Democrats and the media to spend the next two years moaning about whether it’s time to “move on” from Donald Trump. It’s true that as of Wednesday afternoon, the election was not the decisive win for Republicans that was anticipated. Everyone still thinks the GOP will control the House come next year and the Florida results show that Republicans have turned that crucial state ruby red. On the other hand, a...

Let's have some fun, what will Nancy do next

John Della Volpe, a hard-Left pollster and author of a deathless tome entitled FIGHT: How Gen Z is Channeling Their Fear & Passion to Save America, is claiming that his favorite age group saved the midterm elections for those who love skyrocketing inflation, open borders, rising crime, international ridicule and brinksmanship, and accelerating authoritarianism. Della Volpe tweeted, “One thing I know already. If not for voters under 30 … tonight WOULD have been a Red Wave.(snip) What he is crowing about is the apparent fact that the voting group with the least life experience and the most recent subjection to...

Incumbent Raphael Warnock (D) and Herschel Walker (R) advanced to a runoff election on December 6, 2022. Warnock, Walker, and Chase Oliver (L) ran to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. In Georgia, a general election advances to a runoff between the two top finishers if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote. Since none of the candidates received this level of support on November 8 in the general election, a runoff is scheduled to take place on December 6. Warnock won his 2021 special runoff election by a margin of 2 percentage points.

As a millennial, In my opinion there are 2 reasons for the Republican's issue in gaining the genZ and millennial support 1. We want more social freedoms. We believe the government has no right to dictate our lives. My body my choice, both ways. Do drugs, not my right to tell you no. You are gay? Cool, doesn't matter. Marriage is a religious institution not a government responsibility. Tax implications are another story and if two people are “married” the federal government should not be regulating morality. This is where Republicans mess up. Stop focusing on these petty things and...

Attractive females saw their grades drop when classes and exams moved online during the pandemic, a study suggests. Adrian Mehic, a post-doctoral researcher at Lund University, analyzed the scores of 300 male and female engineering students in Sweden before and after Covid hit. A panel of more than 70 separate participants to grade the attractiveness of each student based on photographs of their faces. The study found a significant decline in average college grades among attractive female students — but only in 'qualitative' courses where teachers and students were more likely to interact. These include classes like business and economics,...

"Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee." "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and...

California police seized more than $17,000 from Vera and Apollonia Ward and accused them of laundering drug money, all without charging them with a crime. The two sisters were trying to start a dog-breeding business.Vera and Apollonia Ward, two sisters from Virginia, were just getting a dog-breeding business off the ground last year when they encountered an unusual setback: The police accused them of laundering drug money and seized more than $17,000 from them. The Ward sisters were never charged with a crime, though. They had run afoul of civil asset forfeiture, which allows police to seize property suspected of...

Russia's elite are worried for their safety after an ally of President Vladimir Putin said those who aren't enthusiastic enough about the war in Ukraine should be repressed, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Putin loyalist and founder of the paramilitary Wagner Group, said that Russian tycoons who are not supportive enough over the conflict should face "urgent Stalinist repressions", Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources. The "Stalinist repressions" are a reference to Russia's Great Purge, a political campaign led by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin in 1937 that aimed to eliminate anyone in his party he considered a threat. Prigozhin's...
