Apart from pro-lifers, the anti-family Left hates nothing quite so fervently as parents who believe they should have more authority over their own children than the government does. And so the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) – a fear-mongering, corrupt, discredited but influential smear organization that demonizes mainstream conservatives as “hate groups” – has placed a dozen parental rights organizations on its “hate map” as “antigovernment extremist groups.” According to the SPCA’s annual 2022 Year in Hate and Extremism report, the burgeoning, Florida-based Moms for Liberty organization was added to the Center’s hate list along with 11 other parental rights...

Thu, June 8, 2023 at 4:08 PM PDT·3 min read Jun. 8—A federal judge denied an Oklahoma death row inmate's request for new attorneys two months before his clemency hearing. Anthony Sanchez said in a video response posted online by his spiritual advisor, Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood, the ruling was a "devastating blow."

Twenty years ago, Kathleen Folbigg was imprisoned, having been found guilty of killing her four children. A few days ago, she received a full pardon and walked free. A mutation in a CALM gene that affects one in 35 million people is now thought to have caused the deaths of her two daughters via a rare syndrome called calmodulinopathy. Only 135 people worldwide have been known to have this mutation, so Folbigg's family is likely to be the only case in Australia. A different mutation could be responsible for the deaths of her two sons. In 2003, a jury concluded...

Twice failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is gloating over President Donald Trump’s federal indictment. Clinton took to social media to shamelessly celebrate the erosion and weaponization of America’s taxpayer-funded federal justice system. Hillary posted a picture of her gloating face wearing a hat that said “But her emails” along with the caption: “Bringing this back in light of recent news: Get a limited-edition ‘But Her Emails’ hat and support Onward Together groups working to strengthen our democracy.” Liberal reporter Glenn Greenwald responded by saying: “James Comey all but admitted Hillary committed felonies by mishandling classified information: setting up a...

VIDEOIt seems that Trump supporters in New Hampshire have given us a roadmap on how to thandle the Uniparty candidates such as Mike Pence. On June 9, 2023 in Derry, NH MAGA showed up at a Pence campaign event. Their numbers and enthusiasm for Trump overwhelmed the Pence attendees who gave a "Please Clap" tepid response to Pence that matched his very tepid "support" for President Trump as you can see. Don't be surprised for many others to take a cue from what happened in New Hampshire and "TRUMP" in YUUUUUUUUGE numbers the campaign stops of the other Uniparty candidates....

The top two Republican leaders in the Senate remain silent a day after former President Donald Trump, the current GOP 2024 presidential frontrunner, was indicted by the federal government. While the charges have yet to be unsealed, the top two Republicans in the Senate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Minority Whip John Thune have not put out statements, a stark contrast to the swift reaction among House GOP leaders who quickly rushed to Trump’s defense. “Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America. It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him....

Children raised in an atmosphere of fear become adults who prioritize security over liberty.The good news is that "only" a minority of younger American adults favor Big Brother-style surveillance of our home life. The bad news is that we're discussing this because it's a disturbingly large share supporting such a totalitarian intrusion. Worse, the idea seems to be gaining acceptance.

Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Friday broke with his party by praising the Department of Justice for excercising “due care” in its investigation and indictment of former President Donald Trump over his alleged mishandling of classified documents. “By all appearances, the Justice Department and special counsel have exercised due care, affording Mr. Trump the time and opportunity to avoid charges that would not generally have been afforded to others,” Romney said in a statement. “Mr. Trump brought these charges upon himself by...
