Church Militant has released a statement that the board has asked Michael Voris to resign “for breaching the Church Militant morality clause.” Mr. Voris has released his own statement on Twitter in which he admits to avoiding his own past “ugliness,” and now he is repenting and stepping away from media to “face these demons.” He emphasises that he has always believed in the one true Church, through it all, and wants everyone to keep the faith, despite the failings of individual members, including himself. Mr. Voris chokes up in the video, admitting that “it took me 62 years to...

If anybody has any doubt about abortionists’ priorities — or Democrats’ dedication to them — one need only read Virginia House Joint Resolution 1.Having taken control of the Virginia House of Delegates and kept control of its Senate, Virginia Democrats signaled their commitment to abortion by prefiling in symbolic first place a bill to write abortion on demand into the Old Dominion’s state constitution.The proposed amendment guarantees abortion on demand for any reason throughout pregnancy. Unlike Ohio’s recently adopted Issue One, it does not even feign the pretense of a post-viability limit on abortion. Instead, any restriction by Virginia would...

Joe Biden has always been Johnny-on-the-spot whenever a radical leftist has gotten elected in Latin America. But for Argentina's new president, elected by a ten-point-plus margin? Crickets. He's said nothing at all to Javier Milei, Argentina's first libertarian president, on his quite truly historic victory in an undoubtedly free and fair election, with 30 million hand-counted ballots, their validity approved by both parties and delivered on election night, that made Milei president. He could have congratuated just the election if he couldn't stand Milei, which we know he can't as a fair-minded formality, but of course, he didn't. The White...

The California Utilities Commission just granted Pacific Gas and Electric a 13% rate hike – ostensibly to pay for under grounding power lines. Because Gov. Gavin Newsom appoints the commissioners to the CPUC, this is “Gavinomics.” Expect the other utilities to hike the rates as well.

When arch-heretic Kenneth Copeland is not giving false prophecies about COVID being destroyed, throwing someone in a wheelchair to the floor, casting away bald spots in Jesus name, or even running his own bizzaro Bible college, the world’s richest prosperity preacher in America can be frequently found making up stuff about Jesus and justifying his personal theological idiosyncrasies in order to increase his net worth, this time with a viral video going around showing him drinking his own blood in some bizarre communion rite. While there is a sense in which Copeland, who is surely demon-possessed, routinely feasts on the...

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed on Tuesday Delaware prosecutor Lesley Wolf, who investigated Hunter Biden. Jordan’s subpoena of Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf is significant in the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden due to her alleged bias in the investigation of the president’s son for tax and gun violations: Wolf allegedly refused to allow investigators to ask about Joe Biden being “the big guy.” Wolf allegedly ordered investigators in August 2020 to remove any reference to “Political Figure 1” from a search warrant. A document subsequently released showed that Joe Biden is “Political Figure 1.”...

Hollywood director Rob Reiner has issued a blistering attack against President Donald Trump and his supporters. During a Tuesday interview on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” Reiner claimed that Trump voters will cause America to “slip into fascism.” In a warning to voters, Reiner argued that Americans must stop Trump from winning the 2024 election if they “want to continue democracy.” Reiner said: “Last segment you talked about how young people are confused. “They don’t like Trump, they don’t like Biden. “They can’t decide who they want to vote for. “But I’m trying to impress upon people as best I can that...

In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump is calling on Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis as his legal team prepares his defense in the state’s “election subversion” trial. Trump’s lawyers are requesting that Willis, Fulton County’s district attorney, provide evidence to Special Counsel Jack Smith. Steve Sadow, Trump’s top lawyer in Georgia, wants to access lists of discovery evidence in Trump’s overlapping 2020 election case in Washington D.C. Sadow asked Willis to contact prosecutor Jack Smith for that material. The move comes after Trump’s lawyers in D.C. said they could not share it, citing a protective order from leftist...

Former President Trump is “more dangerous” than some of the most notorious dictators in the history of the world, says former senator turned MSNBC pundit Claire McCaskill. “A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler and the use of the terminology like ‘vermin’ and the drive that those men had towards autocracy and dictatorship,” the Missouri Democrat said during an appearance Tuesday on the network, first highlighted by Mediate. “The difference, though, I think makes Donald Trump even more dangerous, and that is he has no philosophy he believes in.” Trump recently sparked outrage for...

A radical leftist who is a former University of Wisconsin researcher has plead guilty to firebombing a pro-life group’s office. Earlier this year, a grand jury indicted Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, 29, formerly of Madison, after authorities arrested him March 28. Police said he was involved in the firebombing of the pro-life Wisconsin Family Action office last year. Prosecutors said he was trying to “terrorize” and “intimidate” pro-life advocates by vandalizing and setting the offices of Wisconsin Family Action on fire and a grand jury in the Western District Court of Wisconsin indicted him. On May 8, 2022, the pro-life organization’s...

Israel’s battle to neutralize Hamas has dominated our collective attention, as it should. For all of its existence, Israel has been the canary in the mine shaft, the West’s beleaguered outpost of political freedom, tolerance, and equality in the midst of illiberal and tyrannical enemies that want to destroy the West’s power and influence. As Israelis have said over the past month, Israel’s fight is our fight, and always has been.Yet our country is at a dangerous crossroads, with other threats both at home and abroad that demand our attention, and that should be the focus of next year’s elections....

[Make sure to read Daniel Greenfield’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]Ever since Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, along with ordinary Arab Muslims from Gaza, invaded Israel, murdered, raped and kidnapped women and children, the debate has been about how innocent they are. And how easy Israel should be willing to go on them.In the weeks since, Israel has been lectured about a “disproportionate” response and the urgent need to avoid civilian casualties. That’s a little tricky when fighting an Islamic terrorist group whose only real defensive strategy is hiding behind civilians....
