San Francisco's Democrat Mayor is pushing for single adults to be screened for drug addiction before receiving welfare benefits amid the city's spiraling fentanyl crisis. Mayor London Breed is backing a pair of 'aggressive' public safety proposals that would require roughly 9,000 single adults on welfare to be screened and treated for illegal drug addiction or else lose their cash assistance. She is also pushing to give police more crime-fighting powers, such as the use of drones and surveillance cameras.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) went after Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Monday, saying he is not “fit to serve” after he said he would have chosen not to certify the 2020 election results without pro-Trump electors. Vance said Sunday in an ABC “This Week” interview he would have allowed states to send multiple slates of electors to Washington after the 2020 election and “Congress should have fought over it from there,” adding there “were problems” in the 2020 election. “Yesterday, J.D. Vance claimed that Trump could defy rulings of the Supreme Court as President,” Cheney wrote on X, formerly...

The parents trusted the doctor that their unborn child was healthy and were looking forward to the birth of their daughter. But then the shock: the girl is born without a left arm. The left chest and shoulder area is also misformed and the collarbone shortened. The desperate parents wondered: How could the gynaecologist overlook this malformation during ultrasound examinations? He even noted twice that the fetus has both arms and legs. The parents complained to the Carinthian specialist. “The doctor had overlooked the child’s severe disability. If the diagnosis correctly made the parents, the parents decided to abort," says...

[Catholic/Orthodox Caucus] A Wearying Pontificate Nears Its EndI think I speak for a lot of Catholics when I say that the whole circus surrounding Pope Francis has become wearisome.We are approaching eleven years since Jorge Bergoglio was elected Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church. While most of us knew almost nothing about the man when he walked onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, now most Catholics wish they knew less than they do. From pedophile-enabling Cardinal Danneels joining Francis on that balcony to the pope’s recent endorsement of same-sex couple blessings, controversy has surrounded this pontificate from beginning to...

Bob Beckwith, the retired firefighter who appeared in an iconic photo with President George W. Bush atop a fire engine at Ground Zero just three days after the Sept. 11 attacks, has died from Ground Zero-related cancer. He was 91. Former Long Island Rep.

Robert F Kennedy has expressed his support of a potential sit-down between Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin. 'The legacy media is in shambles because we’ve caught onto their lies and propaganda. Tucker Carlson has every right to interview Putin,' the third-Party presidential candidate said on Sunday. 'We need more transparency instead of less. It used to be understood journalists would interview world leaders, even those with whom we were at war.' Kennedy's post on X comes amid ongoing speculation that Carlson may become the first Westerner to interview the Russian despot during the war in Ukraine. Russian state media fueled...

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) on Monday said any consideration of the “border” bill would be a “waste of time.” The House Republican leaders said in a written statement: House Republicans oppose the Senate immigration bill because it fails in every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize more illegal immigration. Among its many flaws, the bill expands work authorizations for illegal aliens while failing to include critical asylum reforms. Even worse, its language allowing illegals...

Members of the progressive "Squad" comprised of far left Democrats in Congress were in the news this week. Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mi) were the only two members of the House of Representatives to vote against the No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act. This legislation bars anyone who participated in the October 7 murder spree of Israeli civilians from immigrating to the United States. Tlaib defended her vote, saying that "the perpetrators of the October attack are precisely the persons targeted by the Israeli Defense Forces for extermination. If we don't give them refuge their chances...

A trio of senators on Sunday released a bipartisan immigration agreement with the White House that would give the president far-reaching powers to clamp down on unlawful border crossings, including the authority to turn away migrants without allowing them to request asylum. The President always had the power. That’s the first lie. Saying the President pivoted is the next lie. It’s an appearance of a pivot to get funding for foreign nations while giving very little to the USA. It’s also throwing a lifeline to Joe Biden to help him get elected. CBS claims it restricts the asylum system. It...

Sometimes I wonder why they let Biden go out and speak when he clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. On Sunday night, Joe Biden contradicted himself when talking about abortion. Biden insisted that he’s not for “abortion on demand” - but that he’s for abortion in all three trimesters of a woman’s pregnancy. In response, many users and outlets were flabbergasted by how little sense he made. During his Las Vegas stop for his campaign, Biden began telling the audience about the negative impacts that would occur if former President Donald Trump were to gain the presidency again. Naturally,...

CV NEWS FEED // According to a group of 16 Republican senators, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) deleted records pertaining to its infamous anti-Catholic memo after former agent and whistleblower Kyle Seraphin leaked it to the press a year ago. “Now we know that information related to the Richmond memo wasn’t provided to Congress because the FBI deleted the records as soon as the incident became public,” the senators wrote in a Wednesday letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray. “According to a report released by the House Judiciary Committee on December 4, Deputy Director Paul Abbate ordered Richmond Special...
