Angry pro-abortion students at the University of Arizona in Tucson pelted a pro-life organization with eggs Wednesday for exposing the violent reality of abortion. Abra Singleton, southwest regional director for the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, said three pro-life volunteers were hit with eggs, including her 72-year-old father, and they contacted police about pressing charges. Singleton told LifeNews that they set up their Genocide Awareness Project display on campus Wednesday to show images of aborted babies and victims of other genocides, such as the Holocaust and the Rwandan Genocide. “Our goals is to show that abortion dismembers and decapitates little human...

McLaughlin & Associates President Jim McLaughlin said Friday on Newsmax that Republican primary voters want another four more years of former President Donald Trump.Joining "The Record with Greta Van Susteren," McLaughlin argued that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's move not to run proves that there isn't much room for smaller candidates to gain in the primary."What you've consistently seen is Donald Trump has an 85-90% job approval rating among Republican primary voters right now. Why? Because he had a successful presidency," McLaughlin stated."On all of the issues that mattered, he was viewed as being successful. And it's really hard...

Only fair fight: no agreement April 14, 2023 PMC "Wagner" continues to grind the Ukrainian army on Bakhmut. Zelensky sends more and more units into this meat grinder, into a destructive funnel that sucks in the best units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and mercenaries. Why is Zelensky so rested on Bakhmut? Why, starting from December 20, when I challenged him with a comical challenge from the artillery guns of the Wagner PMC, did Zelensky behave like a boy and run into Bakhmut? And our intimate dialogue with him has been going on for four months. We both enjoy,...

If you're thinking of picking up a new iPhone later this year you should probably think again if rumors of a new, higher price are to be believed. Especially if you had your eye on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Historically the most expensive iPhone of all, the Pro Max is reportedly going to break new ground and become the most expensive iPhone ever when the iPhone 15 series is announced this September. That's according to a new report by China's United Daily News. According to that report the iPhone 15 Pro Max will cost as much as RMB 20,000...

A recent Monmouth University poll found that more Americans are struggling financially since Biden replaced Trump as the country’s president. Patrick Murray, Director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, observed that “Biden’s claim that he better understands the average person’s needs than billionaire Trump has not led to results that confirm his premise.” During Trump’s term the percentage of Americans who said they were struggling to keep up with the cost of living ranged from 20% to 29%. Since Biden took over, that percentage has risen to 41%. Seventy percent feel financially stressed and 90% are worried about the...

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire – Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy torched Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) while speaking exclusively with Breitbart News on Friday, calling him “a sheep in wolf’s clothing” who had a “fundamentally uncourageous” response to the news of former President Donald Trump’s then-impending indictment.Ramaswamy, who strongly condemned Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case once Trump announced he expected to be arrested, sat down with Breitbart News on his bus in Manchester amid a ten-county tour of the Granite State Friday morning – before a quick pit stop in Indianapolis to speak at the National Rifle Association’s Annual Meeting.When asked...

At least three have died as Sudan's army and a notorious paramilitary force battle with heavy weapons in the capital Khartoum amid tensions over a proposed transition to civilian rule. Video showed a civilian plane ablaze at Khartoum airport. Saudi airline Saudia said its airbus came under fire. Both sides say they control the airport and other key sites. The army says jets are hitting bases of its opponents, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF claims control of at least three airports, the army chief's residence and the presidential palace, but army chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan denied this...

Standing for the Second Amendment and the hardening of schools, including arming teachers, former President Donald Trump gave his forceful answer to Democrats' frequent calls for gun control after mass shootings."This is not a gun problem," Trump told the National Rifle Association annual convention in a speech that aired live on Newsmax. "This is a mental health problem. This is a social problem. This is a cultural problem. This is a spiritual problem."Each and every one of these heinous attacks depend on the same cold-blooded calculation that the evil monster will have a window of time to act out their...

US-made smart bombs provided to Ukraine in the war against Russia seem to be falling victim to Russian signal jamming. According to the leaked Pentagon documents, Russian jamming causes American smart bombs to miss their targets and even fail to detonate in some cases. In December last year, the Pentagon began sending Kyiv advanced equipment that could convert unguided air-dropped munitions into precision-guided "smart bombs" that can hit Russian targets with a higher degree of accuracy. However, the weapons experienced higher-than-expected dud rates, as per the leaked document. Watch this video to know more.

There were angry clashes at funeral of the 35-year-old on Friday in his home town of Haffouz, local media reported. Issaoui had been accused of terrorism by police officers after he complained that he was unable to buy bananas for less than 10 dinars ($3.30; £2.66) a kilogram, double the price set by the government, reports say. In a Facebook post, the footballer had written: "For a dispute with someone selling bananas at 10 dinars, I get accused of terrorism at the police station. Terrorism for a complaint about bananas... I have no more energy. Let the police state know...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

...Ding Lieyun, a scientist at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology...helped construct an egg-shaped habitat prototype, which is made up of 3D-printed bricks made from lunar soil. Ding's team had a robot called Chinese Super Mason lay these bricks on top of each other. The idea is to reduce the amount of material needed to be sent from Earth, while making the construction process as straightforward as possible. According to the SCMP, Ding and his team are hoping to construct the first bricks on the surface of the Moon in just five years' time as part of the country's...

Electric cars are quick, quiet, and kind to the planet, but limited range and lengthy charging times mean road trips aren't exactly their strong suit. That's what I learned when I took Toyota's new bZ4X SUV from New York to Washington D.C. one weekend in early April. The 500-mile journey wasn't some epic coast-to-coast adventure, but rather the kind of long-haul drive someone might casually take a few times per year and not think twice about — if they're behind the wheel of a regular gas car. Let's nerd out for just one moment to establish some basic concepts. Every...

Arabs no longer invest in the West. The next step is the Western debt crisis. Then the expulsion of US bases from the Gulf. Last year, in the context of high oil prices, the Persian Gulf countries received record oil revenues. Consulting agencies estimate the benefit at 600 to 700 billion dollars. Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia received the lion's share. In the past, Gulf countries have invested a significant portion of their profits in US debt and other US assets in exchange for security guarantees. However, after some warming of relations with Israel and the...

-snip- Under the law, the Russian government now considers individuals legally summoned for military duty if a message has been sent to their personal accounts on Gosuslug, the state public services website, or if their name has appeared on a publicly available online list of those summoned. -snip- Simultaneously, the law calls for the creation of an electronic registry of all people required to serve. The registry will collect extensive personal data, such as name, address and passport details, as well as medical, education, tax, criminal, voting, and employment records from numerous government organizations, including the police and communal services...

Radio talk show host Dan Bongino was telling his audience last Tuesday that the evil taking place has changed America—greatly diminished the nation’s greatness. He concluded that those of patriotic determination must resolve to fight with all political might to counter the wickedness. Bongino said, in effect, that it isn’t any longer just disagreement within various governing issues or even constitutional issues that’s the problem—although those things concerning how to properly govern in a constitutional republic are critical. Those are important and must be vigorously defended against the progressive attempts to bring down our orderly and lawfully governed way of...

Former Vice President Mike Pence received a not so warm welcome during his appearance at the annual National Rifle Association (NRA) convention on Friday afternoon. After being introduced by NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, Pence faced loud boos from across the room as attendees expressed what appeared to be a strong dislike for the former vice president and attempted to drown out those applauding him. "Well hello NRA," Pence began, to more boos.

Just yesterday, veteran journalist Seymour Hersh, made a bombshell revelation again on Substack about the war in Ukraine. We know that the US Government appropriated more than $112bn of taxpayers' funds for the war in Ukraine in 2022 alone. Perhaps a lot more has been unofficially dispatched.Last May, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) demanded that accountability measures be included to ensure that the funds are spent appropriately. It is stunning that such an obvious provision needed to be demanded; one would have assumed that they would be built in. The appalling record of corruption in the US under Biden and in...
