An abortionist in Mississippi at the time, McMillan said her life had been troubling her deeply and she began reading a book that encouraged her to repeat the Bible verse, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Sitting in her car one day, she finally said the verse to herself and immediately felt the “presence of Jesus Christ.” In a new interview with Live Action president and founder Lila Rose, McMillan shared how God changed her life, led her to stop aborting...

FIRST ON FOX: Republican Florida Governor, and soon to be presidential candidate, Ron DeSantis released a video Tuesday teasing his expected 2024 campaign announcement. The 30-second video, which DeSantis' wife Casey posted on Twitter, shows the governor standing in front of a large American flag in what appears to be a backstage setting with loud applause heard in the distance. "They call it faith because in the face of darkness you can see that brighter future. A faith that our best days lay ahead of us. But is it worth the fight? Do I have the courage? Is it worth...

Americans don’t have rule of law when their institutions are corrupted against them. Republicans aren’t “draining the swamp” unless they drain the FBI. Special Counsel John Durham published a long-anticipated report last week chronicling severe abuses of power by deep-state FBI officials who ran a years-long campaign to frame former President Donald Trump as a Russian asset. The 306-page report outlined how the FBI relied on baseless fabrications commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign to construct the entire narrative for its investigation known as “Crossfire Hurricane,” in which the Obama-era Justice Department conducted illegal surveillance on American citizens in an...

The crazed man can then be seen running down the street toward where he was staying. The man approached his home out of breath and with blood...

Turns out, Joe Scarborough was referring to Donald Trump when speaking on today's Morning Joe of "the most insecure man in public life."But when it comes to overwhelming insecurity on television, Joe could just have easily been talking about himself. After all, this is the guy who:So often works into show segments the fact that he used to be in Congress that he's become a running joke. Feels the need to hog airtime and talk over panelists. Frequently mocks Republican senators for their Ivy League backgrounds, while calling himself, with false humility, a "simple country lawyer" who attended state schools...

As he did in his Monday address, Scott talked up the need for a president who "persuades not just our base, but...

Indiana has enacted a law requiring teachers to tell parents when students ask to be called by a new name or different pronoun. North Dakota has approved a law that lets public school teachers and state employees ignore using a transgender person's preferred pronoun. And the latest such action came in Florida on Wednesday when Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care such as puberty blockers or hormone therapy for transgender youths - a measure that joins the state's growing list of legislation that limits the rights of LGBTQ people. This month's rush of...

Asylum seekers housed in several of the city’s “respite centers” have not been able to properly wash themselves for days because there are no showers at the newly-opened sites, according to people who’ve stayed there and migrant advocates. Mayor Adams’ administration started using respite centers last week to house migrants as the city’s traditional shelter and emergency hotel systems remain overcrowded. There are currently at least four operational sites, and Adams’ office has described them as “waiting rooms” where migrants should only stay for short periods while the city finds more suitable digs for them. But several migrants housed at...
