NEW YORK, May 19 (C-Fam) The Biden administration is pressing countries to adopt homosexual marriage as a human right. This new development comes during the latest cycles of the UN’s Universal Periodic Review. U.S. officials called on the government of Serbia to “legalize same-sex unions” last week during the latest round of the process where governments criticize each other on questions of human rights. The Biden administration also called on Korea and Japan to “provide legal recognition of same-sex marriage.” The Biden administration claims homosexual marriage or unions are required by human rights law “to guarantee equal protection under the...

New York’s WABC-TV morning show just lost one of its anchors. Ken Rosato, a news personality with twenty years at this major television station, was fired this week, allegedly for calling a colleague a name (yes, one of the very bad ones) on a hot mic. The station decided it has a zero tolerance policy on talent insulting each other on the air, so Mr. Rosato has been given his walking papers and his bio has been scrubbed from the website. I’m a Chicagoan. I know nothing about the local news scene in New York, but from what we’ve heard...

Pro-life pregnancy centers that refuse to commit abortions could also face prosecution under the new legislation.MONTPELIER (LifeSiteNews) — Vermont’s liberal Republican Gov. Phil Scott on Wednesday signed two bills to further establish the Green Mountain State as a haven for unregulated abortion and mutilating transgender interventions. The laws, which contrast sharply with measures in other states to prohibit abortions and harmful gender procedures, are slated to take effect in September. Signed May 10, House Bill 89 and its companion Senate Bill 37 will further bolster the state’s legislative protections for both abortion and transgender interventions, defining “legally protected health care...

Mysterious reports of tremors on a small Danish island in the Baltic Sea prompted a seismological investigation that points toward atmospheric pressure waves as the possible culprit. But as with other, similar events—which are surprisingly common around the world—confirming a cause remains elusive. The tremors occurred on May 13 at around 3 P.M. local time, according to a statement from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, which operates two seismographs on the island of Bornholm. The seismic data showed that the tremors were not caused by an earthquake, the agency says. And although the tremors occurred about 20 minutes...

With the headline “Allarme rosso per il gigante bianco“ [Red alert for the white giant], L’Osservatore Romano devoted the most prominent front-page coverage in its May 16 edition to the receding of Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina’s Los Glaciares National Park. The glacier “is in fact one of the few that grows constantly and moves, since between its bottom and the base there is a ‘cushion’ of water that makes it advance rapidly,” the Vatican newspaper reported. But now “the Perito Moreno is melting, with an erosion that has reached 300 meters in just two years, 2021 and 2022.” “The...

5th-grade teacher from Florida is under investigation after showing children a pro-LGBT Disney movie. The elementary instructor then went on to CNN to attack school administrators and concerned parents, ranting, “Your rights as a parent, those rights are gone when your child is in the public school system.” The Disney movie, “Strange World,” centers on two homosexual men, and its showing exists in a grey area of Florida’s new parent’s rights legislation, dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by the left. The instructor claimed to have received parental permission, though she allegedly only asked parents to approve a “PG” movie, with the...

It was 2014, and in a building in St Petersburg, the Russian Internet Research Agency (IRA) was already hard at work building its arsenal to take on US politics. According to US prosecutors, the IRA had gathered stolen identities of real Americans, and a formidable encyclopaedia of what "works" on social media when it comes to riling up Americans talking about politics. Two members of the agency were said to have travelled to the US to gather more intelligence, a fact-finding tour taking in nine states, according to investigators. Back on Russian soil, the IRA began posing online as US...

Elon Musk recently commented on a compelling editorial cartoon, produced by someone with the Twitter handle “End Wokeness,” that highlights vital crime statistics. The cartoon features a chart showing the number of interracial violent crime incidents by race, based on numbers from the Bureau of Justice Statistics. It shows that the number of black-on-white crimes is nine times higher than the number of white-on-black crimes, yet a news media cameraman has zoomed in on the white-on-black number so that it’s the only thing TV viewers can see. In response, Musk wrote: “Odd, why would the media misrepresent the real situation...
