On Thursday of last week, a clickbait post on the Daily Mail site cited a University of Michigan study about the connection between cattle farming and climate change to assert that President Joe Biden’s greenhouse gas goals “could” require Americans to reduce their red meat consumption to the equivalent of one burger each month. This specious claim exploded across Fox News’ weekend programming; at one point the network ran a graphic asserting as fact that “Biden’s climate requirements” would force Americans to “cut 90% of red meat from diet.” From there the idea of a Biden Meat Threat was spread...

Lawmakers in Oregon are moving to recriminalize the possession of small amounts of drugs after it faced rampant public drug use and saw overdose-related deaths more than triple. 'It's the compromise path, but also the best policy that we can come up with to make sure that we are continuing to keep communities safe and save lives,' said state Senator Kate Lieber, a Democrat and one of the bill's authors. The state became the first in the country to decriminalize the possession of all drugs including heroin and cocaine in 2020.

It appears Satan is alive and well in South Orange County. At last week’s Board of Trustees meeting for the Capistrano Unified School District in San Juan Capistrano, the creation of an “After School Satan Club” at Truman Benedict Elementary School in San Clemente had some residents and parents hot and bothered, while others spoke in the best interest of the club. The club, to be run by The Satanic Temple – an IRS-recognized organization based in Salem, Mass., according to The New York Times – is scheduled to hold its initial meeting at Truman Benedict on Feb. 12, according...

The British government of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed its “commitment” to the globalist project of crafting an international Pandemic Treaty by the World Health Organization. Buried in a “national statement” delivered at the World Health Organization’s Executive Board in Geneva this week, the British government thew its support behind a push by W.H.O. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus for the world to agree to a Pandemic Treaty. “The UK underlines our commitment to agreement of a new Pandemic Accord and targeted amendments of the International Health Regulations, which together ensure our preparedness for future health threats with stronger prevention,...

So says the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jared Nadler (D-NY). "The fact is that the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level," he said. "We need immigrants to pick the vegetables and have the babies that lazy Americans refuse to. Fortunately tens, maybe hundreds of millions of people want to migrate to the United States." Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill) bolstered Nadler's assertions, saying "the millions crossing our border with Mexico ensure that we will be able to eat." Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wa) claimed that "study after study has proven that the US economy...

"Using the National Guard to guard the nation is an egregious misuse of the National Guard," wrote Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who sided with the majority. "When the federal government has decreed that the nation not be guarded so that millions of illegal immigrants will swarm the border and settle in cities across the nation to swing the 2024 presidential election for Biden, states have no right to disobey that decree by guarding their states." As a result of the ruling, Texas is being ordered to open its border completely and let millions of people flood the state and...

Friday January 19th marked the 51st annual March for Life where pro-lifers from around the nation gather to stand in solidarity and support for all life from the womb to the tomb. This year’s event was the second one since the Dobbs decision came out back in 2022 and Roe v. Wade was overturned. Musician Danny Gokey kicked off the event with a pre-rally concert in front of the U.S. Capitol building. After that, numerous pro-life speakers took the mic to talk about their own experiences with abortion and how important it is to protect the unborn. We spoke with...

Hunter Biden has to supply his probation office with his income tax returns as part of his bond conditions, court records have shown. He must also sign a waiver to allow their disclosure. This comes as his father, President Joe Biden, runs for reelection. President Biden won the New Hampshire primary this week as a write-in candidate and faces no serious opposition in seeking the Democratic nomination. On December 5, President Biden told a fundraising event in Massachusetts that he might not have sought reelection had Donald Trump not been running for president. The condition opens up the prospect of...

Austin Broderson, a 19-year-old bareback rider and sophomore at Casper College, is recovering after enduring what many rodeo insiders are calling the worst wreck they’ve ever seen at the National Western Stock Show in Denver on Monday. Prayers have been going up all over the West this week for a young Casper College cowboy whose rigging slipped while riding bareback at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, and ended in what many rodeo insiders say was the worst bareback riding wreck in recent memory. Austin Broderson, 19, a sophomore on the Thunderbirds’ rodeo team, had put on a successful...

When the progressive coalition won the election in Poland on Oct. 15, there was an expectation that there would be major changes in the public sphere. However, when the new government was formed on Dec. 13 under leadership of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, it immediately started to attack its predecessors with police tactics and make threats of prosecution and removal of virtually all top officials in Poland. These aggressive attacks were billed as the restoration of the rule of law, but they rather signify the destruction of constitutional order and bring lawlessness. The essence of the Tusk political and police...

The Friday evening and Saturday morning shows for ABC, NBC, and CBS all ignored Friday’s 51st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. where thousands turned out in the cold and the snow to protest the killing of the unborn. Friday’s NBC Nightly News was the worst offender because not only did they ignore pro-lifers, they actively promoted pro-abortion high schoolers. Host Lester Holt introduced the report, “Right now, millions of high school seniors are grappling with one of the biggest decisions of their lives, where to go to college. And as Savannah Sellers reports, there's one factor that’s taking...

ATLANTA – A Georgia Senate committee has approved legislation that would ban ranked-choice voting in Georgia. A well-funded campaign is afoot across the nation to allow ranked-choice voting, which allows voters to rank candidates by preference, Senate Majority Whip Randy Robertson, R-Cataula, told members of the Senate Ethics Committee late Tuesday. Ranked-choice voting is allowed statewide only in Maine and Alaska, while Georgia permits it only for members of the military and other Georgians living overseas. But cities including San Francisco and New York City have been using ranked-choice voting, Robertson said. In New York, it took 15 days to...

After attending town hall meetings, rallies and house parties with candidates, New Hampshire voters will make their influence felt as they cast ballots in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary. While many names appear on the Republican ballot, seven top-tier candidates who took the stage in nationally televised debates have dropped out of the race. Those still standing are counting on Granite State voters to give them momentum in their bids to win their party’s nomination for president.

Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley It’s just me and Donald Trump now. He says he’d beat me in a competency test. How about a debate, Donald?12:57 PM · Jan 24, 2024

Former South Carolina governor and Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley vowed after her second-place finish to Donald Trump in New Hampshire’s primary on Tuesday that the “race is far from over.” But that assessment doesn’t appear grounded in reality—a point RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel made on Fox News Tuesday evening. "This has been a great contest, but I think there's some history that was made tonight. We have never had a nominee in our party that has won without winning both — without winning either Iowa or New Hampshire. Donald Trump is the first ever to win both,” she said....
