I feel like I need to provide a content warning before introducing this piece because it will likely turn your stomach.Back in 2021, Luke Rosiak of The Daily Wire broke the story of a cross-dressing student in Loudoun County that raped multiple girls on a school campus. Those crimes were then ignored and covered up by the school board, leading to a national backlash that likely helped put current Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin in office.Now, Rosiak is back with another horrifying report, this time dealing with an underage, self-proclaimed transgender girl who was sex trafficked twice because Baltimore, MD, authorities...

A woman recalled being so blinded by love as a teenager that it took her three months to realize her boyfriend only had one leg. The TikToker said she and her 6-foot-6 boyfriend, whose name she did not disclose, “were inseparable. We saw each other, like, every day. We spent every waking moment together." “So I took this picture to my friends, and I said, ‘Guys, I think my boyfriend might only have one leg.'” She said her friends were puzzled by the accusation and encouraged her to get answers from her beau. He eventually confessed a few weeks later,...

To Deny One Dogma Is to Separate Yourself from Christ Can a Catholic Deny Just One Dogma and Remain a Catholic?In the past we considered that dogmas do not evolve, as well as the truth that Catholics must believe more than only infallible dogmatic proclamations. A similar question arises when someone asks what the consequence is for denying just one of the Church’s dogmas. What would happen to someone who absolutely refuses to believe that God created the world out of nothing; that the souls of the blessed in Heaven possess the Beatific Vision; that the Holy Eucharist is the...

The Department of Justice will not provide House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, with materials related to its ongoing investigations, the agency said Friday. "Consistent with longstanding policy and practice, any oversight requests must be weighed against the Department’s interests in protecting the integrity of its work," wrote Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legislative Affairs Carlos Felipe Uriarte in a letter to Jordan that Fox News obtained. "Longstanding Department policy prevents us from confirming or denying the existence of pending investigations in response to congressional requests or providing non-public information about our investigations." Jordan, whom Republicans...

After flooding local election offices with private money to alter election operations in key battleground states ahead of the 2020 presidential contest, Democrat-aligned groups have been looking for new ways to take over America’s future elections — and a new bombshell report reveals just how they plan to do it. Released by the Honest Elections Project (HEP) and the John Locke Foundation, the shocking report reveals how the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence — a self-professed “nonpartisan collaborative” claiming to bring together election officials for the stated goal of developing “a set of shared standards and values” — is actually...

Israel’s new hard-line government has made headlines – the bigger demographic changes that caused it, not so much Israel’s new government is the most right-wing and religious leadership the country has had in the 75 years of its existence, as many observers have pointed out. And this style of leadership may last because it represents the next generation of Israelis. You don’t have to look far to see that the religiously observant Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox sectors of Israel’s population are growing quickly. The new minister of Jerusalem affairs has 12 children. The minister of national missions — one of the...

District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced plans on Thursday to charge actor and anti-gun activist Alec Baldwin with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western movie “Rust.” Baldwin is responsible for pointing the gun at Hutchins and failing to make sure the gun and supposedly dummy ammunition were properly checked, according to prosecutors.

First came the so-called Sanhe Gods, male migrant workers who ventured from the hinterlands to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and other metropolises in search of gainful employment, only to find themselves slaving away in Dickensian “shady factories.” Disenchanted with China’s “struggle culture” the ironically named Sanhe Gods adopted cynical mottos like “work one day and play for three” or “pick up your bucket and run,” in direct and provocative contrast to the motivational propaganda posters on Chinese streets, bearing messages like “Struggle in youth, a brilliant future to come,” “Fight unrestrainedly, chase dreams,” and “If you don’t work hard, no-one can...

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov did the unspeakable and declined to wear an “LGBT Pride” warm-up jersey and wrap his stick in rainbow-colored tape to honor all the gay and trans folks showing up at a recent hockey game, and the commies’ response is so entertaining I just might cancel my cable. Provorov’s reason for defying the pink lords? He chose to remain true to his Russian Orthodox religion. “I respect everybody’s choices,” Provorov stated when the game was over. “My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion. That’s all I’m going to say.” Some bolshies have...

A massive painting of Jesus on display in the US Merchant Marine Academy in New York has been covered by a curtain after objections that the religious image should not hang in a room used for mandatory activities.

Eighteen people, including five Jews, asked the Military Religious Freedom Foundation to appeal on their behalf to the Kings Point academy, which reports to the US Department of Transportation, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported....

Rep. Nancy Pelosi choked back tears while discussing her husband’s prolonged recovery from a brutal hammer attack last fall, saying it could take months before he is “back to normal.” The former House speaker, 82, opened up about Paul Pelosi’s condition during an appearance on “Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace?” “He’s doing OK,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told Wallace after the veteran newsman asked how her husband was doing. “It’s going to take a little while for him to be back to normal.” Paul Pelosi, also 82, was alone at the family’s San Francisco home early Oct. 28 when conspiracy theorist David...
