I’ve said it once & I’ll say it again, a thousand times. Until this ridiculous Hoax was revealed to me by the Fake News Media, I never heard of E. Jean Carroll, never had anything to do with her, never would want to have anything to do with her, never brought her into a LOCKED changing room of a crowded NYC Department Store (directly opposite the checkout booth!), & NEVER TOUCHED HER, OR IN ANY WAY WOULD WANT TO TOUCH HER. The whole story is a MADE UP & DISGUSTING HOAX! Like the now fully discredited RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX,...

The Federal Communications Commission has begun winding down a program that helps low-income people pay for internet service, which would affect 67,548 subscribers in Allegheny County alone. In a conference call Tuesday, FCC officials said most of the funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program will run out by the end of April without additional appropriations from Congress. Enrollment in the program, which has nearly 23 million beneficiaries nationwide, is scheduled to close Feb. 7. “It’s going to be a mess to notify all these people,” said Dave Sevick, executive director of Computer Reach, a Homewood nonprofit that refurbishes laptops for...

A Texas transportation company is suing Chicago over rules the city put in place to restrict unscheduled buses carrying asylum-seekers. The lawsuit filed by Irving-based Wynne Transportation earlier this month accuses the city of violating federal and state law with its restrictions on what Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration has referred to as “rogue buses.” The legal move continues a back-and-forth battle as Chicago works to control the arrivals of asylum-seekers and Texas adjusts to continue sending them. Nearly 35,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending buses in August 2022. The suit against the city...

...The Lions have played their games at the enclosed Ford Field since 2002, and before that called the Pontiac Silverdome home since 1975. But one reporter in Tampa Bay apparently didn’t notice..... And ahead of the game, a reporter asked Bucs coach Todd Bowles whether he was worried about the weather when the team travels up north: “The weather has been a factor in some of the playoff games, even for the most prepared teams. Today it’s 13 in Detroit, which doesn’t compare to some of the temperatures. Any special plans to acclimate the team to not only endure but...

Higher education did not have a good year in 2023, as evidenced by high-profile resignations at Penn (Liz Magill) and Harvard (Claudine Gay). This followed abysmal televised congressional testimony in which the two Ivy League presidents and MIT’s Sally Kornbluth refused to condemn campus calls for genocide against Jews. Harvard’s disgrace was compounded by revelations of serial plagiarism on the part of Gay. The legal academy has fared no better in recent years, with highly publicized incidents of intolerance, de facto censorship, and speech suppression at Stanford Law (e.g., students heckling Fifth Circuit judge Kyle Duncan), Yale Law (e.g., disruption...

Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany heaped praise on Vice President Harris for her answers to questions on abortion during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday. During her appearance on the daytime table talk program, Harris blasted Republicans across the country who she said have “banned access to reproductive freedom,” and talked about people who she said are concerned about sending their children to college “in a state where she will have access to the health care she might need, including reproductive health care.” McEnany, former President Trump’s White House press secretary who is now a co-host of Fox...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is sounding the alarm on the Southern border crisis, citing staggering numbers: 10 million illegal border crossings, 1.9 million known gotaways, and a heartbreaking toll of 300 Americans dead every single day from Chinese-made, Mexican cartel-imported fentanyl. According to Ashley St. Clair, the Biden Administration is not just passively dealing with the migrant crisis but actively facilitating it. She claims that the administration is threatening anyone trying to stop it with the full force of the DOJ.

For the first time, the Justice Department has confirmed that they took possession of a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden from a computer shop. Why it matters: The new filing by special counsel David Weiss, which includes several embarrassing revelations, is the latest example of the increasingly antagonistic relationship between Hunter's team and his father's Justice Department in the months after a proposed plea deal unraveled last summer.

Nearly one year later, Google is still directing those looking for information on “pregnancy” toward the largest abortion mill in the country: Planned Parenthood. MRC Free Speech America researchers analyzed Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo search results for the word “pregnancy” in a “clean environment” one week before the 51st annual national March for Life in Washington, D.C. Bing and DuckDuckGo elevated neutral results with links to popular health websites like Mayo Clinic and Healtline.com, as one might expect. But Google’s first result was a link to Planned Parenthood’s landing page on pregnancy. Planned Parenthood did not show up at all...

Several Washington Post stories reported from Iowa this week by staff writer Meryl Kornfield displayed an interesting double standard in proof. Republican concerns have been "debunked" that Christians have been persecuted like never before, but Republicans say "without evidence, that transgender people are a threat to children or have a mental health disorder." The first was a story on Christian Republicans headlined ‘Ordained by God’: Trump’s legal problems galvanize Iowa evangelicals. Kornfield and several other reporters linked to a New York Times fact-check we challenged on Christian persecution, which means both papers ignored (as usual) the frightening FBI raid on...

Critics are blasting a New York state rule that limits the financial support adoptive parents can give birth mothers, with many saying the state is now making it easier to abort children than to adopt them. According to the New York Post, the restriction enforced by the Office of Children and Family Services (OFCS) under the administration of Governor Kathy Hochul mandates that financial help can only be made 60 days before the baby is born and 30 days after birth. The restriction is referenced in a memo sent on January 5 by OCFS Agency Director Shelly Fiebich. “Be advised...

The Democrat mayor of New Orleans Latoya Cantrell is facing an FBI probe over allegations she had an 'ongoing adulterous affair' with the former head of her police detail on city property. Cantrell was seen on security cameras spending hours together with Jeffrey Vappie in a city-owned apartment during work hours. Vappie has himself been investigated over hours he was alleged to be clocking in. Now, the federal government is reportedly looking into whether the couple abused government funds for personal trips, as the pair have been seen partying from Los Angeles to Scotland. Vappie's wife, Danielle, alleges that her...

A bill has been introduced in the state of Washington which would force hospitals, including religious institutions, to commit assisted suicide. House Bill 1035 requires that “[a] health care entity may not discharge, demote, suspend, discipline, or otherwise discriminate against a health care provider” for committing assisted suicide. As Alex Schadenberg noted, “The assisted suicide lobby wants to remove the right of religiously affiliated healthcare institutions from prohibiting medical practitioners from participating in assisted suicide.” This bill is in addition to one last year, which already expanded assisted suicide to allow non-physicians to commit it, shortened the waiting period, and...

The Florida House on Wednesday began moving forward with a proposal that would restrict the types of flags that can be displayed at government buildings and schools, including preventing the display of LGBTQ pride flags. The bill (HB 901), sponsored by Rep. David Borrero, R-Sweetwater, and

“Having children is saving the world.” It’s a simple message that’s increasingly true in a world where underpopulation is the biggest crisis no one is talking about today. Twitter/X owner Elon Musk understands. He is frequently noting the lack if people in nations around the world and how it is leading to worker shortages and the inability of some nations to economically support their aging populations. Musk posted the message on Twitter recently. And the pro-life diaper company EveryLife unveiled the billboard on Wednesday as part of its “Make More Babies” campaign that is meant to go along with this...

We have big news this week from our colleagues at Dayton Right to Life. Martin Haskell’s notorious late-term abortion mill in Kettering has been closed all week and likely will remain closed for some time. The clinic did not open as expected on Monday after the weekend. Moms have not been entering the building and likely are being referred elsewhere. It is apparent that the building suffered major damage over the weekend, almost certainly from a burst water pipe due to the freezing temperatures. SERVPRO vehicles and workers have been there continuously and by Tuesday two dumpsters (see pic) were...

A new factsheet that tallies the number of babies killed in abortions since 1973 presents heartbreaking news for pro-life Americans. The new figures from the National Right to Life Committee show that almost 65.5 million babies have been killed in abortion since the Supreme Court legalized abortion in Roe v. Wade in 1973. Although abortion totals per year have gone down since their highs in the years after Roe, almost 900,000 babies are killed in abortions every year and those totals have increased slightly in the last two years because of the COVID pandemic and massive uncertainty in the world,...

The migrant crisis in Denver has plunged the city's main public hospital deep into the red after patients received $136 million in treatment they couldn't pay for. Denver Health lost $2 million in 2022 - but that was substantially-reduced by a $20 million cash injection from the state. In 2022, the hospital system lost $35 million, with bosses warning of 'dire consequences' for the hospital if 2024 is as bad as the previous two. The rise in costs has coincided with the unprecedented number of immigrants who crossed America's border and arrived in Denver. Around 36,000 have arrived so far...
