Thousands of people took to the streets of Tbilisi on Saturday, July 8, protesting against the LGBTQ Pride Festival that was to be held near Lake Lisi. The event was to be the culmination of Tbilisi Pride Week, held July 1-8. Estimates vary on how many thousands of protestors came out, but it was enough to force the cancelation of the event.

LGBT propaganda is “inadmissible and unacceptable” and “violence against [the]...

Now imagine being under ten and dealing with divorce. It REALLY sucks! Seriously, people who say children are better off in a broken home than a home where fighting occurs are crazy!

You may have been singing along to them for years, but have you ever really thought about their lyrics? If not, it's definitely time. “Brown Sugar” by The Rolling Stones Some things don’t deserve to be sung about, like slavery—especially when the song uses whipping imagery as it attempts to demonstrate the sexual prowess of Black women. But yet that’s precisely what Mick Jagger did in The Rolling Stones’ 1971 smash “Brown Sugar.” The title was offensive enough, but in the first verse, Jagger travels back to the plantation to peek in on the slave owners who used to make...

Fifty years of legalized abortion on demand have turned American values on their head. Discrimination is considered “compassionate” and protecting children’s lives is “cruel” – especially when it comes to unborn babies diagnosed with fatal medical disorders. The message comes from doctors, leading medical groups, politicians and the media, as well as the pro-abortion movement. And their lies and propaganda have succeeded in convincing many vulnerable, heartbroken couples that having their sick baby poisoned or dismembered in the womb is more loving than allowing the child to live and die naturally. Such was the case with a Kentucky couple that...

Explanation: Why is our Sun so active now? No one is sure. An increase in surface activity was expected because our Sun is approaching solar maximum in 2025. However, last month our Sun sprouted more sunspots than in any month during the entire previous 11-year solar cycle -- and even dating back to 2002. The featured picture is a composite of images taken every day from January to June by NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory. Showing a high abundance of sunspots, large individual spots can be tracked across the Sun's disk, left to right, over about two weeks. As a solar...

A pro-transgender university surgeon says he is performing irreversible sex surgeries on pre-pubescent children who have had no experiences of sexual feelings and little ability to consent or accomplish the required post-surgical procedures. “It’s a very complicated issue,” Dr. Blair Peters, a Canadian-trained “queer” surgeon at Oregon Health & Science University, told a friendly interviewer. “But I think definitely something that we’re going to learn a lot more about in the next five to 10 years as we’re doing just increasing numbers of these cases,” Blair said in the now-archived video. Getting consent and cooperation from the pre-sexual children is...

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is pushing for the FBI to build new headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama, instead of Washington, D.C., to take politics out of how the agency functions, the The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
