If Donald Trump stepped forward to the cameras and delivered an announcement like this, what would happen next? Today, I am calling on President Joe Biden to resign from office and withdraw from the 2024 campaign. I say this with no pleasure because I believe I would easily defeat Biden in November, as the polls show, but this is about the best interests of our country.

Four more pro-life activists who were convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and felony conspiracy charges received their sentencing last week for activism at a Tennessee abortion business. These sentences have thus far been much less harsh than the sentences imposed upon pro-lifers convicted of FACE Act and conspiracy charges for activism at a Washington, D.C., abortion facility. According to The Associated Press (AP), the activists were convicted in January for participating in a 2021 pro-life action at the Carafem abortion business in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Sentences ranged from six months in prison to...

ROME — Pope Francis warned Sunday democracy is in “crisis” around the world, likely with an eye to a rise in right-wing parties across Italy, Austria, Argentina, Netherlands, and Germany. It is evident that in today’s world, democracy “is not in good health,” the pontiff told a group of 900 participants in the 50th annual Social Week, celebrated in the northern Italian city of Trieste. The pope went on to compare the modern “crisis of democracy” to a wounded heart that has suffered a heart attack, manifested by “various forms of social exclusion” that “limit participation.”

Goldberg, for one, thought all the discussions of Biden’s age and related gaffes were beside the point entirely, saying, “I don’t care if he’s pooped his pants. I don’t care if he can’t put a sentence together. Show me he can’t do the job, and then I’ll say, ‘OK, maybe it’s time to go.'” She went on to distinguish her opinion on the matter from her fellow panelists, who also had a heated discussion about the debate while she was absent from the subsequent live show: “Yeah Biden had a bad day, but [Trump] couldn’t tell the truth if it...

CV NEWS FEED // Catholic scholar Tim Carney took to X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend to give a few examples of how Democratic officials and their media allies are “waging a religious crusade against pro-life and Catholic institutions” throughout the country. Carney cited an X post by a reporter for the left-leaning news source ProPublica which depicted a Massachusetts billboard attacking pro-life pregnancy resource centers (PRCs). The ProPublica reporter indicated that such anti-PRC billboards “are all over Western [Massachusetts] now.” In large capital letters, the billboard warns passersby to “AVOID” what it calls “Anti-Abortion Centers.” “They MISLEAD you about...

Unlike the many pundits who have concluded – in retrospect – that Biden's debate debacle was an orchestrated coup by the Dem elites, my prediction of that coup and supporting analysis was published on WND two days before the debate, under the title "Why June 27 will be another 'Night of the Long Knives.'" I said right up front: "I believe the primary purpose of the debate is to shock the Kool-Aid-drinking blue-pilled left into reality as to Biden's dementia and the need to remove him. The pro-Biden propaganda machine will keep pumping out the 'Joe is OK and can...

CHICAGO — With the ShotSpotter gunfire detection system soon to be removed from Chicago’s streets, so-called “reform” activists are turning their attention to another tool police find useful: traffic stops. Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said in May that her office is developing a policy not to prosecute gun, theft, and drug charges stemming from certain traffic stops. Foxx said her staff would refuse to file charges in most cases if evidence was found during a traffic stop for missing license plates, expired registrations, and other minor infractions. She called the anticipated change “a public safety enhancement effort.” “Armed...

<p>There’s a celebrity trend that has nothing to do with the season’s hottest fashion designer, jewelry item or flashy car. Instead, Hollywood stars are parading their transgender children around like some sort of good luck charms on a keychain.</p><p>Fox has openly discussed her support of her alleged non-binary child Noah, a son she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Noah has been photographed wearing dresses when he was as young as age five. The “Transformers” actress insisted that he made that fashion choice himself but has also admitted to encouraging Noah to form a unique identity. Fox says Noah started wearing dresses at age two, according to People.</p>

Some Citi Bike users may be riding off into the sunset. The Lyft-operated service will hike its prices a whopping 20% for members and non-members on Wednesday – leaving some riders to consider ditching the service and buying their own bicycles instead. “I just don’t really like taking the train so I use Citi Bikes but at this point it just seems more affordable to get your own bike,” Travontae Gorman told The Post at a Manhattan charging bank location. “It’s going to equal out to two or three of these rides with the continued increase.” Harlem resident Blessing Watson,...

Target plans to crack down on retail theft by lowering the threshold for how much shoplifters can swipe before employees are allowed to finally step in, according to a report. The Minnesota-based big box retail chain — which has blamed retail theft for hurting its bottom line — instructed store staff to halt bandits who try to flee with items totaling $50, down from the previous sum of $100, Bloomberg News reported Thursday.

A poll conducted by the Counteroffensive/Kyiv International Institute of Sociology showed Ukraine voters preferring Biden (46.7%) over Trump (6.5%) for US President, while 17.6% preferred neither, 6.7% preferred either, 20.2% "didn't know" and 2.3% were smoking weed in the Ferarris they bought with embezzled US aid. Biden-for-president campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon cited the poll "as proof the President's foreign policy is working. He may have had a bad night at the debate with Trump, but he has won the hearts and minds of the people of Ukraine with his steadfast support of their fight against Russian aggression. We look...

Daily Readings from the USCCBA woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.” Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured. Matthew 9:20–21What a tremendous amount of faith this woman had! She had suffered for many years and continued to suffer with her hemorrhages. How did she know that touching Jesus’ cloak would cure her? The only answer to that is...

We are Terri and Hope, a mom and daughter who became family through adoption. Hope was born about 2 months early, and like most premature babies, she was very small. But what was especially unusual upon Hope’s arrival was the considerable injury to her head… from Hope’s forehead back to her right ear, both her scalp and skull had been cut away leaving jagged open edges and parts of her brain exposed. Hope’s injuries were caused by abortion instruments when she was just 10 ½ weeks old in her mother’s womb. This is our Almost Aborted story. VIDEO ON LINK

Rob Reiner has joined the list of prominent Democrats calling on President Joe Biden to exit the race.

WASHINGTON — The Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee requested Sunday that President Joe Biden's physician appear for a transcribed interview about Biden's medical evaluation. Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a letter to Dr. Kevin O'Connor that he also sought to tie O’Connor to a series of inquiries he has made about Biden's relatives' businesses. Comer, a prominent critic of Biden's, for months has helped lead efforts for the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into Biden that has fizzled into nothing. Republicans did not provide evidence that Biden was engaged in any criminal actions, despite repeated claims otherwise.

President Joe Biden said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he was not dropping out of the race because he believed the average voter still wanted him to run. Biden said, “All the data, all the data shows that the average Democrat out there voted, and 14 million of them had voted for me. Still want me to be the nominee. Number one.
