Denver, Colo., Mar 1, 2023 / 13:47 pm An association of pro-life obstetricians has literally been canceled by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). For the past 15 years, the group has had an exhibit booth at the annual conference of the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) and the Association of Professors of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (APGO), which is hosted by ACOG. This year, without warning, leaders of the pro-life doctors’ group arrived at the conference at the Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center in National Harbor, Maryland, only to be told that their...

Nine boxes of documents found at President Biden’s former office at the Penn Biden Center think tank in Washington, DC, have not been reviewed for classified material by the National Archives, according to a report. The boxes were shipped by Biden’s attorney Patrick Moore to his law office in Boston before the discovery of 10 classified documents at the 80-year-old president’s namesake think tank. The National Archives revealed the quantity of boxes taken from Moore’s office, and the fact that they have not been reviewed, in response to questions contained in a February letter from Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) and...

A Washington Post columnist argues that Major League Baseball should abandon Florida, the home of pro baseball’s annual spring training season for over a century, because of Gov. Ron DeSantis. In a column on Monday, Kevin B. Blackistone said MLB can no longer ignore the Republican governor’s “culture war.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jill Biden on Wednesday praised a group of women from around the world, including those who have been protesting against Iran’s leaders, for showing courage while fighting for their rights and called on men to “be partners” with women and support them in their cause. “As much as we need women who are willing to speak up, we need more men who are willing to listen and act,” the first lady said. “We need more men to hold each other accountable when their sisters are being hurt or left behind,” she said at a White House ceremony...

CNN host Anderson Cooper said Tuesday on his show “Anderson Cooper 360” that Fox News host Tucker Carlson would have wet his pants during the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Cooper said, “The idea of Tucker Carlson being in that mob that day and not wetting his pants is hard to imagine. I find it hard to understand somebody who has never put himself in harm’s way in any capacity for anyone else or on reporting a story and yet has the audacity to try to rewrite history. I mean, that’s what this is. It is an...

A Christian street preacher was reportedly referred to the UK’s counter-terrorism police after saying that a so-called “transwoman” was really a “man in woman’s clothing”. David McConnell, a Christian preacher, had already been convicted of “harassment” in a British court of law over the incident last year, with the preacher being sentenced to a 12-month community order with 80 hours unpaid work after saying that the transgender individual was really a “gentleman” and a “man in woman’s clothing”. The Christian man had been preaching at the time of the incident, with his sermons reportedly resulting in him being abused, assaulted,...

Bandit9 hops on the space-game wagon. It won’t be sending its motorcycle up into the void – at least not for now – but it toys with the materials NASA spacecraft uses, one in specific. The revamped EVE ODYSSEY adopts the space-grade aluminum used by NASA for its rocket designs. The glint it gives off may reflect the same properties of aluminum space rockets are enveloped with. More than the material, EVE ODYSSEY captures attention with its unibody form, styled like a bullet on the loose. Bandit9 describes EVE ODYSSEY as a bringer of order to complexity. It does so...

A 14-year-old male sucker-punched a Florida sheriff’s deputy in the head during a disturbance over the weekend, authorities said. Then the kid got a dose of his own medicine after resisting arrest. What are the details? A Lee County sheriff's deputy responded to a call about a disturbance around 11:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lee County Fair in Fort Myers, the Miami Herald reported, adding that the deputy ended up facing a crowd of teens. The Herald, citing an affidavit, reported that a "male in a black hoodie, covering his face, walked up next to" the deputy "then struck [the...

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn is being hailed a hero after helping save a man’s life from a burning car on Sunday night. “Last night myself and these 3 absolute heroes helped save a man’s life by rescuing him from a vehicle up in flames after a bad crash,” Osborn wrote on Twitter. “A situation I’d never imagine being a part of in a million years.” Osborn, 25, was on his way home in an Uber after a workout in Austin, Texas, when he was alerted by his driver that a car had crashed under a bridge and burst...

Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend Erica Herman has accused the golf star of tricking her into leaving his Florida mansion under the guise of going on a “short vacation” — only to lock her out amid their messy and shocking split, newly unveiled court documents allege. News of the couple’s split only emerged Wednesday when details surrounding their months-long legal battle — which has so far been kept under wraps — surfaced publicly as Herman, 38, sought to toss out a non-disclosure agreement she signed in 2017. Their legal fight kicked off in October when Herman filed a landlord complaint in October...

California assemblywoman Mia Bonta (D.), the wife of California’s attorney general, on Tuesday unilaterally killed a bill that would raise sentencing for violent crimes committed with guns. Bonta was one of several Democrats on the assembly’s public safety committee who voted to sink the proposal, from freshman Republican assemblyman Bill Essayli. But in a highly unusual move, Bonta went beyond a simple no vote and blocked Essayli’s request to revise and reintroduce his legislation. The Democratic majority did not intervene, allowing her to table the bill for the rest of the session. Bonta’s maneuver comes as violent crime, including homicide...

A Russian officer fighting in the Donbas region of Ukraine released a defiant video saying that he and whatever was left of his decimated platoon were refusing to follow orders after being forced to attack settlements without any training. The recording, which spread on Telegram channels this week, shed light on the purported chaos within the ranks of Vladimir Putin’s draftees mobilized in Ukraine. In the brief video, a man in a baseball cap who introduces himself as a senior lieutenant stands in front of a group of about 10 soldiers assembled in a bare room with a single light...

So the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is celebrating its 20th birthday—the perfect opportunity to rethink the whole concept of "homeland security" and how to best provide it. DHS has grown into a monster that is massively expensive, incredibly ineffective, and reliably destructive of basic civil liberties. It's time to abolish it and replace it with fewer, smaller, and more accountable agencies. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush called for the creation of a new cabinet-level department "whose primary mission is to protect the American homeland." By pulling border security, emergency services, and immigration into...

A number of Democrats across the country celebrated International Women's Day on Wednesday, despite having previously been either unwilling or unable to provide a definition of what a "woman" is. The apparent inability by many on the political left to provide a definition of a "woman" became a point of contention following now-Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson refusing to define the word when asked during her confirmation hearing last year. "Today, on [International Women's Day], we celebrate all the women around the world who lead the way, all while contending with the weight of parenting, cost of child care,...

Mayor Eric Adams appeared to lash out at Vice President Kamala Harris over the city’s $4.2 billion migrant crisis — marking the first time he’s explicitly faulted President Biden’s controversial “border czar.” “There needs to be an individual who is dedicated to do the decompression strategy for the federal government. Someone should be at these entry points: El Paso, Brownsville, Texas, and others, too, to organize a real decompression strategy across the entire country,” Adams said during a City Hall news conference Tuesday. “One person should, we should be looking at — it is often stated that as the role...

Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Wednesday voted against legislation that would permanently classify both fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances (FRS) as Schedule 1 drugs that carry the toughest penalties for trafficking and possession. Republicans say the growing fentanyl problem in America means the U.S. should permanently treat those drugs as Schedule 1 substances in the hopes of boosting penalties and stopping their spread. In 2018, the Trump administration temporarily scheduled FRS as a Schedule 1 drug in light of the growing number of fentanyl-related deaths, and Congress has extended that temporary status a few times since then....

Nine boxes of documents were taken from President Biden's attorney Patrick Moore's Boston office, but have yet to be reviewed, the National Archives disclosed in a response letter to Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, this week first obtained by Fox News Digital. The Archives had not previously publicly disclosed the number of boxes taken from Boston. It had been reported that Moore had shipped boxes of documents from the Penn Biden Center to his Boston office before discovering the initial trove of classified documents at the Washington, D.C.-based think tank. In response to questions by Johnson and...

Elon Musk has revealed the reason Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would “never” date him — saying he simply “isn’t cool enough.” The cyber foes have had a myriad of heated exchanges on social media since Musk signed on the dotted line to become the owner of Twitter last year. Following the pair’s tit-for-tat antics, one Twitter user asked the Tesla CEO if all this back-and-forth could ever lead to romantic relations between them, even though she’s currently engaged. “Alas she would never date me I’m not cool enough,” Musk tweeted in response to a photoshopped image of AOC with blonde hair and...

GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer of Kentucky are planning to visit Jan. 6 defendants being held in the Washington, D.C. jail. A spokesperson for Comer has confirmed reports saying Greene is leading the effort, though concrete details are still being worked out. Greene and Comer told The Hill a letter to start the process of the visit is expected to be released on Thursday. "We’re going to be addressing the human rights abuse, such as the fact that they’ve been held in solitary confinement up to 23 hours a day, denied...
