ORANGE, Va. (AP) — On the wall of the maternity home, painted in large letters, is the motto: “Saving Babies, One Mom at a Time.” For founders Randy and Evelyn James, the home started with one baby — their own. Paul Stefan was the last of their six children, born with a fatal condition. They had chosen not to abort the pregnancy as doctors advised. He lived just over 40 minutes, long enough to be baptized and named after their Catholic priest. In the nearly two decades since, the Jameses have channeled their son’s memory and their pro-life beliefs into...

A week after Cross Timbers Church in Argyle, Texas, announced their senior Pastor, Josiah Anthony, was asked to resign over unspecified “inappropriate” and “hurtful” actions, one that did not involve sins against children or sexual relationships with women, the 5000-member megachurch has shared more details about their decision. During last week’s announcement, the elders were vague about the cause of his resignation, offering: “Josiah has been in a prolonged and sustained season of struggle with his emotional and mental health, which has been very painful for him and those around him. Throughout this struggle, some of Josiah’s decisions and actions...

When you choose to live life without kids, you hear it all — from "Oh, you’ll change your mind!" to "Wow, life must be so easy for you," as if an existence without littles is all last-minute vacations to the Caribbean and a seamless work-life balance. While that’s not a true picture of the PANK (professional aunt, no kids) life — a term coined by bestselling author Melanie Notkin in 2008 — a child-free status is still considered unconventional, despite its rise in popularity. Case in point: In a resurfaced interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Republican Vice...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on “Deadline” that every Democrat on Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate list was “next level league” above former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Wallace said, “What I’m going to say might not be popular or in my interest, everyone on this list is in a next level league from the person that the top and the number two spot on the Republican side. I mean, the Harris candidacy is just brimming with enthusiasm and energy and a vivaciousness that the Democrats didn’t even expect and the Republicans certainly didn’t.”

Experts predicted that today would go down as a historic day, as Kamala Harris became the first black woman to destroy the world economy. The achievement was the first of its kind, with members of the media and prominent political leaders all hailing it as an impressive step forward in the pursuit of equality and the advancement of women of color. "It's a day for the history books, folks," said President Joe Biden. "Not only is Kamala the first… the first… black… the first black… president of the… president, but she is now the first black woman to completely wipe...

We’re barking up the wrong trees. A new study reveals that a majority of the 7 million trees in New York City are emitting “volatile compounds” that do more harm than good for our air quality — especially during scorching heat. “We’re all for planting more trees. They bring so many good things,” said study coauthor Róisín Commane, an atmospheric chemist at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. “But if we’re not careful, we could make air quality worse.” The arbors in question include oaks and sweetgums which produce high volumes of a chemical composition called isoprenes — and they’re rooted...

A potential Iranian attack could be larger in scope and more complex, including deeper use of multiple proxies, than what Israel experienced in April. Despite international pressure, there appears to be no stopping an expected attack by Iran and its proxies on Israel that could come within hours. Iran has promised to retaliate against Israel for the assassination in Tehran last week of Ismail Haniyeh, the top political leader of Hamas. Facing a potentially massive missile and drone barrage that could cause a large number of casualties, Israel meanwhile is mulling over the idea of a preemptive strike against Iran,...

Like something right out of Nazi Germany, the Michigan Bureau of Elections is demanding that citizens … “Do your part!” about election misinformation. “Just as election officials have a duty to detect election misinformation and quickly provide correct information based on the law,” the posting reads, “voters have a responsibility to proactively seek out reliable sources of information and encourage productive and honest dialogue.” Did you know that? Did you know you have that “responsibility?”

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Monday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump is in the “fat Elvis” stage of his career and is worrying about his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate pick. McCaskill said, “First, I’ve got to give a shout-out to my friend Charlie Sykes.
