BOSTON — “Pregnancy resource centers” are becoming increasingly prevalent in Massachusetts, outnumbering abortion providers 3-to-1 as these anti-abortion women’s health care centers push back against abortion rights advocates. Last month, Massachusetts Citizens for Life launched the Pregnancy Care Alliance of Massachusetts, a coalition of nonprofit anti-abortion organizations, to support the mission of so-called pregnancy resource centers statewide. The coalition, composed of eight anti-abortion organizations and 20 Massachusetts centers, was formed in response to targeted legislation by municipal and state governments. The network plans to launch public awareness campaigns that could include billboards and radio spots in an effort to combat...

At 7, Clovis Hung was bored with second grade. “I wanted more of a challenge,” he said. In 2019, his mother, Song Choi, pulled him out of second grade and began homeschooling him. A year later, when he was 9, he also enrolled in Fullerton College. “My husband and two daughters said I was crazy,” said Choi, who’s worked as a tutor for more than 20 years. “But I trust my instinct. I know he is a very unique child because he's very curious and intelligent.” With his mom at his side, Clovis attended classes. At one point, he was...

Explanation: Is this an alien? Probably not, but of all the animals on Earth, the tardigrade might be the best candidate. That's because tardigrades are known to be able to go for decades without food or water, to survive temperatures from near absolute zero to well above the boiling point of water, to survive pressures from near zero to well above that on ocean floors, and to survive direct exposure to dangerous radiations. The far-ranging survivability of these extremophiles was tested in 2011 outside an orbiting space shuttle. Tardigrades are so durable partly because they can repair their own DNA...

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has been operating in the Loop since 1898, just 27 years after the Great Chicago Fire. The exchange was part of the city’s rebirth and helped establish Chicago as a financial hub. Now, we see the opposite of rebirth with Chicago’s population shrinking. And the $66 billion CME may not be around to help with future renewal: The company has rewritten the terms of its lease so it can leave the city if politicians pursue “ill-conceived” public policy. “We’re in a very strong position,” CME CEO Terry Duffy said in a recent interview. “If we...

The head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group said on Sunday that his forces had captured all the territory in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut as promised and would leave the conflict zone later this week. "Wagner has made no advances. Wagner today captured no territory. We have captured all the territory we promised to capture, right up to the last centimetre," Yevgeny Prigozhin said in an audio message posted on Telegram messaging app. "As we stated yesterday. We are handing over our positions to (Russia's) Defence Ministry and on the 25th (of May) we are leaving the conflict zone."

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has revealed that he had a phone conversation with FBI Director Chris Wray, raising hopes that the FBI will finally turn over the long-awaited FD-1023 form to Congress. This document, as claimed by Representative James Comer, allegedly outlines a bribery scheme involving Biden and a foreign national. Recall, the House Oversight Committee said the FBI is failing to comply with a subpoena deadline. Chairman Comer and Senator Grassley said the FBI is withholding an unclassified FD-1023 form that describes the criminal scheme involving Joe Biden and a foreign national.

YouTuber pulls dangerous "prank" on wrong man, almost meets his Maker

SatanCon, an event billed as "the largest satanic gathering in history," recently took place in Boston, Massachusetts, courtesy of a Salem-based group called The Satanic Temple. The Satanic Temple has identified itself as a religious organization. In 2014, it promoted a Black Mass at Harvard University. And in 2019, the group persuaded the federal government to grant it recognition as a tax-exempt religion. During the event's opening ritual, a lead figure tore pages out of the Bible. In another ritual, individuals engaged in what was termed a satanic "unbaptism," wherein participants made their way to a center altar, took on...

Followers of The Satanic Temple (TST) say they have found a home in their burgeoning religious cult, rejecting religion in many cases by joining their own that suits their lifestyle. "Satanism stands for everything I believe in, including bodily autonomy, compassion, respect, science. And Satan represents those who were cast out, those who think differently," Typhon Nyx told the BBC at the SatanCon in Boston in late April. His story is like some of the 830 SatanCon attendees that descended upon the Marriott Copley Place in Boston. While members of the TST did not give their name, they did give...

The plot thickens. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Jeffrey Epstein tried to blackmail Bill Gates after learning about an affair Gates had with a young woman. Epstein learned that Gates had an affair with a Russian bridge player and when Gates shot down a donation request from Epstein, Jeffrey sent him an email reminding the Microsoft founder what he knew. According to The Wall Street Journal: “The Microsoft co-founder met the woman around 2010, when she was in her 20s. Epstein met her in 2013 and later paid for her to attend software coding school. In 2017, Epstein...

Facebook has provoked a widespread backlash after the social media platform deleted Christian content and labeled it “hate speech.” The issue was highlighted by journalist Billy Hallowell, a former Blaze writer. Hallowell, a Christian, exercised his religious freedom by posting on Facebook: “Jesus died so you could live.” However, despite his post reflecting one of Christianity’s core beliefs, Hallowell’s post was deleted by Facebook and he was accused of spreading “hate speech” on the Big Tech platform. Hallowell shared about this on Twitter, backed up by screenshots, and a comment stating that the incident was “very, very bizarre.”

On September 18, 2022, 42-year-old left-wing radical Shannon Brandt intentionally drove his SUV over and killed 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson. Brandt told arresting officers that he did it "because that kid was a dangerous right-wing extremist." While the facts of the case and the admission of the perpetrator clearly show the type of premeditation warranting a charge of first degree murder and a life sentence in prison, prosecutor Kara Brinster of the Foster County, North Dakota State's Attorney's office negotiated the charge down to manslaughter "because there were mitigating circumstances in this case." "Brandt's lawyer made a strong case for a...

“As a media personality, Zaluzhny was constantly in the lenses of the Ukrainian and Western media. He is second only to Zelenskyy in the intensity of his TV appearances”. “However, since May 8 no one has seen Zaluzhny. General Naev is present at all the events which require the personal participation of the Commander-in-Chief”. “Even at the regular meeting of the heads of the military departments in Ramstein, where the critical issues of the supply of weapons and ammunition necessary for the upcoming counterattack were discussed for Ukraine, Zaluzhny did not participate even in the online format”.

“Backbencher in the Trump Administration, Alyssa Farah, like so many other sleazebags, had only glowing reviews of the Trump Administration until long after she left,” Trump posted. Trump launched his attack on Griffin on Truth Social Saturday night. “A loser then, and a loser now! he added.

SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER John 17:1-11aFriends, in today’s Gospel, as the Lord anticipates his glorification on the cross, he prays, “Father, the hour has come.” The “hour” was a focal point of Jesus’ entire life. At the outset of his ministry, Jesus declined his mother’s request at the wedding of Cana saying, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.” Mary is presented here as the new Eve, the new representative of the human race, with whom God is seeking union. But why the aloof and off-putting words? The best explanation, in my judgment, is...

... At a ceremony Thursday, Burns, who has presided over the drug court for 13 years, did something new: He began the process to expunge the criminal records of all 10 participants. In the past, his graduates had to apply for expungement, like anyone else — and then wait at least a year for their convictions to be stricken from the court record. But Burns persuaded Chief Cook County Judge Timothy Evans and Erica Reddick, presiding judge of the criminal courts, to give him special authority to speed the process. “Sixty days from now, your records will be expunged,” Burns...
