The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) removed “COVID vaccine” as the cause of death on a number of Minnesota death certificates, an anonymous tipster alleged. The tipster, who has remained anonymous for safety reasons, obtained a complete set of Minnesota death certificates from 2015. As PJ Media reports: “Aaron Hertzberg’s deeply detailed report digs deep into the federal bureaucratic requirements involved in filling out local death certificates all over the country.

When an overwhelming number of Americans support a specific public health policy, as rare as that is these days, you’d think our elected leaders in Washington would rush to pass legislation that reflects the will of their respective voters. And when that policy involves the pressing issue of solving child hunger, you’d think Congress would move expeditiously to prevent further suffering endured by a defenseless segment of the U.S. population.

LifeSiteNews) – A biologically male triple murderer began serving his life sentence in a women’s prison last month, thanks to the permissive gender laws of far-left California. California LGBT activist David Wakefield, who later “transitioned” to living as a woman named Dana Rivers, was arrested in 2016 for slaying a lesbian couple and their 19-year-old son. “Police said the two women were both stabbed and shot, and the man was stabbed. They were pronounced dead at the scene,” the Sacramento Bee reported at the time. “Police said Rivers was covered in blood and about to ride away on [Charlotte] Reed’s...

The Unraveling of the Censorship Hegemon The US Constitution was ratified in 1789. Nine years later, in a fit of frenzy over enemies domestic and foreign, the US Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. The Sedition Act in particular imposed nationwide censorship edicts that made it illegal to criticize the government or its officials. The public was so furious about the obvious attack on the First Amendment that Thomas Jefferson was swept into the White House in the election of 1800, with a specific mandate to end the outrage. The offending laws were promptly repealed. The significance of the...

Despite strong, bipartisan backlash, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs doubled down Monday on a pro-abortion executive order that strips local prosecutors of their authority to investigate abortion cases. County prosecutors wrote to the governor Monday, saying the order sets a “dangerous precedent” and Hobbs should rescind it. The letter was a bipartisan effort, and all but three of the 15 county prosecutors signed it, according to the Washington Examiner. However, Hobbs spokesperson Christian Slater rejected the prosecutors’ request a few hours later. “We will not rescind this order,” Slater said in a statement on Twitter. “Governor Hobbs will continue to use...

Pop singer Demi Lovato launched a bitter, profanity-laced song on the anniversary of the life-saving Dobbs v. Jackson ruling that stereotypes pro-life advocates as Christian men whose only goal is to control women’s bodies. Lovato, 30, named her song “Swine,” a description that dehumanizes pro-life advocates as well as unborn babies. The former Disney star did not mention women either, instead referring to pregnant mothers as “birthing people.” “It’s been one year since the Supreme Court’s decision to dismantle the constitutional right to safe abortion, and although the path forward will be challenging, we must continue to be united in...
