COLUMBUS, Ohio (LifeSiteNews) — Notorious partial-birth abortion pioneer Martin Haskell is putting $100,000 behind the effort to enshrine a “right” to effectively unlimited abortion in the Ohio Constitution, which opponents of the ballot measure say is a fitting illustration of what Ohioans can expect if it succeeds. Drafted by the Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and backed by the Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights (OPRR) advocacy arm Protect Choice Ohio (PCO), the proposed Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety Amendment posits a “right” to make “personal reproductive” decisions, “including but not limited...

After a lengthy and often combative GOP conference earlier today, Jim Jordan’s office has announced there will be a 3rd vote for House Speaker Friday at 10:00am.“The House will vote Friday at 10 a.m. on a third speaker ballot, according to Jordan’s spokesman.” {link}The UniParty Republicans had earlier floated an interim proposal to grant temporary House Speaker Patrick McHenry with additional authorities which would gain Democratic vote support. The concept was to get the House through a round of funding for Israel and Ukraine aid and avoiding a shutdown, until January. However, that effort fell short as the non UniParty...

Pregnancy Help News) – It just takes one. One commercial could make a difference with Issue 1 in Ohio. An ad shedding light on the ugly truths in late term abortion in Ohio is gaining steam as it airs through Election Day. The organization Created Equal first aired the ad featuring abortion survivor, speaker, and author Claire Culwell during the September 27 GOP debates in the state. It continued to air in selected markets until early voting on October 11. Ohio voters could decide on November 7 to make the red state one of the most pro-abortion states in the...

As thousands of immigrants cross the United States’ southern border illegally every week, a recent report by two global Christian relief organizations has found that the U.S. has reduced the resettlement of Christians fleeing global persecution by 70% compared to 2016. Open Doors, which annually ranks the 50 countries in which it is most difficult to live as a Christian, and World Relief, a global Christian humanitarian organization, issued a joint report in September that in 2022 the U.S. government resettled barely one-third of the number of Christian refugees who were granted asylum in 2016. In 2022, the number of...

I was watching Bloomberg’s Business Show this morning when a headline got my attention. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have begun clinical trials of their weight loss drugs Mounjaro and Ozempic on children as young as 6-years old. Certainly a small percentage of children might need these drugs but I can’t help feeling the vast majority of overweight children would be much better served by more physical exercise and a better diet and far less internet game playing and cell phone usage

If Americans do not have good background history, or very good intuition and common sense, it is increasingly difficult to cognitively negotiate the mainstream media war ‘news’ since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. Our gut tells us that we must sort this one out, quickly. Concurrently, our decision-making as a free people is being hijacked by the leftist Democrats’ neurotic permaglue in massing to support the indefensible, e.g., the horror of Hamas (this leftist germinally fascistic stance that might also serve them well, briefly, as ‘socialists’). Putting these phenomenally purblind Democrats aside, let’s look at what happened this...

TEL AVIV, October 20. /TASS/. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declined to take a telephone call from US President Joe Biden during the latter’s visit to Israel on October 18, Israel's state-run Kan Radio said. Citing a source in Ramallah, the administrative center of the Palestinian West Bank where Abbas has his office, the news outlet reported that representatives from the Biden administration tried to set up a phone conversation between the two leaders on October 18, but Abbas turned the request down. The radio station clarified that the sides nevertheless remain in contact. Immediately after his visit to Israel, Biden...

Thirteen college presidents, including those of Duke, Cornell, and Rutgers, have signed on to the “Campus Call for Free Expression” (CCFE), a project organized by a low-profile Princeton-and-Woodrow-Wilson-related group called the Institute for Citizens & Scholars. Though the move has been celebrated in outlets as dissimilar as Inside Higher Ed and Forbes, I’m afraid it looks like a silly “Well, okay then, I guess I’ll sign on,” limp-wristed, toothless, and redundant exercise rather than a serious effort to get universities back on track. Rutgers for example, contents itself with the claim that … academic freedom—the right of our faculty in...

JERUSALEM (AP) — When Hamas militants toting grenades appeared in her living room, Rachel Edri served them tea and Moroccan cookies until police stormed in and killed the attackers. Edri’s tale of quick-witted survival during the Israel-Hamas war has turned the 65-year old woman into an unlikely folk hero in Israel. For many, she has come to symbolize the ingenuity of everyday Israelis left to fend for themselves as militants turned sleeping southern communities into bloodbaths on Oct. 7. After an early-morning air-raid siren, Edri returned from a bomb shelter in her hometown of Ofakim to find a band of...

Among the litter of guns, korans, and maps discarded by the Hamas terrorists whose bodies lie alongside bullet-riddled vehicles and dusty roads are green Gaza IDs with work permits. Normally residents of the Hamas territory can’t enter Israel, but work permits allowed over 20,000 Gazans to enter Israel. When some returned, it was as Hamas rapists and killers. The Hamas invasion succeeded so well because the terrorists had an intimate knowledge of the communities they were targeting because they had worked there or had intelligence from those who had worked there. The attackers had detailed maps and building layouts. One...

A Maryland judge was killed in an apparent shooting at his home Thursday evening in what police described as a homicide. Judge Andrew Wilkinson, 52, had served as an associate circuit court judge in Washington County since 2020.

Wilkinson was hospitalized but later pronounced dead, according to the county sheriff's office. A state delegate said that police are still searching for the suspect, who has not yet been named.

The New York Times has re-enlisted a Hitler-praising Hamas propagandist as part of its team covering the war in Israel and Gaza. When we last heard from Soliman Hijjy, it was back in 2022, when The Algemeiner reported under the headline “Unearthed: Another Hitler-Praising New York Times Gaza Journalist.” That article focused on the watchdog group HonestReporting’s disclosure of Hijjy’s social media posts from 2012, 2018, and 2020 with variants on the phrase, “How great are you, Hitler?” It also noted that a 2021 video that Hijjy created for the Times, titled “Gaza’s Deadly Night: How Israeli Airstrikes Killed 44...

I recently wrote about specific technologies which can affect the human brain and other locations of the body and can be used for torture. Those technologies are sometimes described as “Directed Energy Weapons” or “Directed Energy Systems.”A significant point made in one of my articles is that Directed Energy Weapons and Systems use radio frequency, infrared, or other electromagnetic energy and can secretly focus that energy onto a specific group or a specific person within that group to cause harm.Basically, Directed Energy Weapons and Directed Energy Systems commonly use electromagnetic technologies from a remote and secret location and then focus...

Speaking at a book launch in Westminster on Tuesday Mr Farage told the PoliticsHome website that he would soon be doing Mr Sunak's job. Teasing Conservative MPs present at the event, the former Ukip leader initially said he was serious but later said he was joking. “I’d be very surprised if I were not Conservative leader by ‘26. Very surprised," he told the website. “They think I’m joking," he said, referring to others present, adding: "I’m serious.” He later tried to row back on his comments and said they were meant “in jest”. Mr Farage quit the Tories 30 years...

Among the many trees in the Garden of Eden, Scripture tells us, stood two trees of great significance: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life. This pair of posts is an attempt to understand the nature, effects, and relationship of these two trees. Specifically, we will explore whether these trees were arbitrarily appointed but ordinary trees, or whether these trees had intrinsic, supernatural properties that could alternately destroy/sustain life.That the first tree is called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil suggests that eating its fruit would change the relationship of...
