Washington D.C., Jan 27, 2023 / 14:40 pm A Democrat-controlled Virginia Senate committee voted down three bills that would have put more restrictions on abortion in the commonwealth, but similar bills are still being considered in the Republican-controlled House of Delegates. The three bills would have taken very different approaches because each of them added abortion restrictions at different stages of pregnancy. Senate Bill 1284 would have banned nearly all abortions, Senate Bill 1385 would have banned abortions after the 15th gestational week, and Senate Bill 1483 would have banned abortions by the time of viability. The legislation would have...

Anyone who tunes into truth news regularly knows that the WEF (World Economic Forum) and the globalists are purposely incapacitating supply chains across the board, including for fuel, food, and animal feed. This is an attempt to get the whole world to eat lab-concocted “food stuff” instead of natural food. Now, it is suspected that several globalist-owned and controlled animal feed companies may be supplying farmers with chicken feed that is purposely tainted to prevent hens from producing eggs, thus adding to the chaotic food shortages and supply chain breakdowns. Is this all part of a larger agenda to massively...

Sanders, a former Trump White House Press Secretary and the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, became governor of that state in her own right in November, becoming the first woman to hold the position.

Social media users have criticized Universal Studios Hollywood, for its new “Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge” attraction due to the ride ‘vehicle’s body size limitations, which some have deemed “ridiculous.” The ride vehicle can only accommodate people who have a 40-inch waist or smaller, according to the theme park website. “Guests whose waistlines are 40” or greater may not be accommodated on the ride and are strongly encouraged to try the test seat provided at the entrance of the attraction to assist guests in determining their ability to ride,” the website stated. The theme park said that its decision to include...

MADISON, Wis. — Most students who responded to a survey about free speech on University of Wisconsin campuses said they’re afraid to express their views on controversial topics in class because they fear other students won’t agree or it could hurt their grades, according to findings released Wednesday. A third of respondents, meanwhile, said they’ve felt pressure from an instructor to agree with a certain viewpoint. Almost half said they at least somewhat agree that administrators should bar controversial speakers if some students find the message offensive. “I want the University of Wisconsin System to be looked upon as a...

A massive spy balloon believed to be from China was seen above Montana on Thursday and is being tracked as it flies across the continental United States, with President Joe Biden ultimately deciding against "military options" because of the risk to civilians, U.S. officials said on Thursday.

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – A brutal fight between several teenage girls was caught on camera.

The video begins with a school security guard holding one girl wearing a blue shirt back while another comes up to her screaming and appearing to want to fight. Then utter chaos erupts. A group of girls appear to gang up on another girl and just deliver punch...

Lanny Poffo, a popular professional wrestler whose career spanned from the 1970s through the 2010s, has died. He was 68. The cause of death has not been revealed. “Arriving in WWE in 1985 alongside his brother, ‘Leaping’ Lanny Poffo was one of the first high-flyers in WWE,” WWE wrote on its web site. “While he achieved some success as a fan favorite reading his own poetry and throwing Frisbees to the crowd, he reached new heights as The Genius while managing Mr. Perfect [Curt Hennig]. WWE extends its condolences to Poffo’s family, friends and fans.” Poffo was the son of...

What’s really remarkable here is how close this projection is to the actual plans, policies, and justifications of practically all major governments on board with the WEF’s “sustainable development goals” for 2030. The root problem, in their thinking, is overpopulation, and climate change (to the extent they actually believe in it). According to WEF doctrine, civilization itself is unsustainable, thus its project to reverse development in the developed world, and hamstring it in the developing world. It makes sense – ChatGPT was programmed to be woke, and that includes being WEFed in the head. Much has been written about text-generating...

Pinal County Arizona Sheriff Mark Lamb compares the open border crisis at the southern border to modern day slavery. "You heard Sheriff Daniels say that slavery is alive and well in this country," Lamb said on the Wednesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "I would venture to say it's as prolific, if not more prolific than it's ever been. He was referring to Cochise County Sheriff Mark Daniels who recently testified in front of Congress where he said that the border was not closed and that the fentanyl trafficking was a major problem. "By...

Japanese researchers discovered a large dakō iron sword and a giant bronze mirror in a 4th-century burial mound in the city of Nara. The two items were found last November in the Tomio Maruyama Tumulus. According to the local government groups, the 125-pound, shield-shaped decorated mirror was the first of its kind to be discovered, and the seven-foot iron serpentine dakō sword is the largest and oldest from the Kofun period (300 CE–710 CE) to be found. Experts say this allows the two items from the Tomio Maruyama Tumulus to be classified as national treasures. The shield-shaped mirror is two...

Could Boris Johnson run for president? ‘I don’t rule it out’The 2024 race for the White House is on. Donald Trump is in, Nikki Haley is getting ready, Joe Biden is preparing to fend off intra-party foes – and now, Steerpike has learned of another possible entrant: former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. One of Steerpike’s Spectator colleagues in America caught up with the ex-PM at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, DC. When asked if he wanted to move from 10 Downing Street to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Johnson told the Cockburn gossip column: ‘I don’t rule it out.’ Johnson,...

New Zealand is full of stunning, natural beauty and home to nearly 3,000 glaciers, which are huge tourist destinations. But the glaciers are quickly vanishing due to rising temperatures. Robin Roberts visited Rotorua on an expedition of a lifetime and shared a first-hand look at the shrinking ice. First, she suited up to hop in a helicopter for a bird's-eye view of the dangerously thin ice, which scientists call a critical part of the climate crisis.

This funeral is less a sad farewell to a great friend and more a joyous tribute to a great hero. It’s the celebration of a wonderful life, a once-in-a-generation gathering of the people of faith to re-dedicate ourselves to the ideals George Pell lived for, and to draw strength from each other for the struggles ahead.He was a priest, a bishop and the prefect of a Vatican Secretariat, but he was never a mere functionary. In each of these roles a thinker, a leader, a Christian warrior, and a proud Australian who wanted our country and our civilisation to succeed.In...

On January 31, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned about upcoming “staffing changes” in the Ukrainian government. The following day, Ukraine’s State Security Service and other law-enforcement agencies conducted a series of searches targeting prominent officials and businesspeople suspected of corruption. Among their discoveries were “manifesting” wish lists — and loads of embezzled money. Ukraine’s Economic Security Bureau and State Security agents searched the home of the Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoysky. The Ukrainian media connects the search to a fraud investigation focusing on Ukrnafta and Ukrtatnafta, two petroleum companies nationalized by Ukraine last November. The investigators believe that around $1 billion worth...
