An Italian American civil rights group lashed out at Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, dubbing him an “enemy” of the community and imploring him to drop out of the race, according to its board member. The Italian American Civil Rights League (IACRL), which was founded in New York City and endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election, blasted Walz over his approach to rioters who tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus. “Tim Walz did nothing to stop radical vandals from targeting the most prominent symbol of Italian-American culture in a flagrant hate crime,” IACRL board member Mike Crispi...

“We are really struggling with infertility… We have spent the better part of our married life trying to conceive. We prayed and prayed. We have paid close attention to ovulation cycles. We have gotten our hopes us time and time again only to have the pregnancy test shatter our hopes with a negative result. We feel like we have exhausted all our options. We know that the Lord calls children a blessing and a heritage, we know that our desire for children is a good and godly desire. We are going to go to a reproductive specialist this week, and...

Joe Rogan has made his endorsement in the presidential race, announcing he is supporting independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "I am a fan. He's the only one to make sense to me. He's the only one that doesn't attack people. He attacks actions and ideas, but he's much more reasonable and intelligent," Rogan said during an episode of his podcast. Kennedy is running as an independent challenger to former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. He has sought to appeal to centrist voters who may be disillusioned by the policies of the Democratic and Republican parties. Polls...

Wichita, KS — Did a staff member of Trust Women Abortion Clinic in Wichita, Kansas, recently call 911 and pretend to be a random citizen who felt it was her duty to report other citizens standing peacefully on a sidewalk (i.e. pro-lifers)? On July 17, Trust Women abortion clinic experienced some trouble with its fire alarms. Operation Rescue secured the 911 records, revealing that the alarms went off four times in about 20 minutes despite no fire or smoke being present in the building. The fire department was dispatched after the first fire alarm just to make sure. As the...

In a year when Democrats swept all statewide offices, Vice President Kamala Harris barely eked out victory in her campaign for California attorney general in 2010, and the moderate prosecutor who challenged her is now speaking out forcefully against her candidacy for president. ‘I think she’s wholly unqualified and that her election could be the worst thing that happens in my lifetime to our nation,’ Steven Cooley, 77, told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview Wednesday. ‘She has extreme positions that are not good for this country,’ he said. ‘On immigration, on the economy, on law and order, crime and punishment,...

What recommendations would you like to suggest to the Trump campaign? Any political movement probably has to be more representative of its voters than than the candidate themselves, so I will always disagree with the dingbats who act as though it's arrogant to ask a campaign to change tactics or focus on an issue. We have the right- they are running to be our representative!! Should the Trump campaign change tactics? Focus on an issue you aren't hearing enough about? Are there any critiques you would make? Is the campaigning vigorous enough? How does their ground game seem to you?...

Hemorrhage at Planned Parenthood Required Advanced Life Support Everett, Washington — On July 24, an employee of Planned Parenthood in Everett, Washington, called 911 shortly before 11 a.m. The call involved a 36-year-old mother. In Operation Rescue’s analysis of the 911 recording, present-tense language was observed: “We have a patient who just is having a procedural abortion, and I think she is having some bleeding.” It appears that the abortion was underway and had to be stopped because of excessive bleeding. “For this reason, it is not known whether the child’s life had already been destroyed or if he or...

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — The former elections manager for Mesa County told jurors Wednesday about Tina Peters’ possible malfeasances after the 2020 election. Sandra Brown said she was suspicious of the former Mesa County clerk and recorder two days before the trusted build, a planned software update on Dominion Voting Systems machines, on May 25, 2021. She was brought in to meet with who she believed was the new administrative assistant for the Department of Motor Vehicles, Gerald Wood — a software engineer. The man who Peters introduced to her as Wood wasn’t him but, in fact, Conan Hayes,...

DETROIT, MI — Coming under heavy criticism over allegedly false claims about his military service, Minnesota governor and current vice presidential candidate Tim Walz clarified that he's never been to Iraq, but he has been to downtown Minneapolis, which is basically the same thing. After Walz faced accusations of "stolen valor" after repeatedly claiming to have seen combat in Iraq, he admitted that while he had never actually been there, he had spent a lot of time in and around the hellish, war-torn landscape of downtown Minneapolis, meaning he had likely experienced the same type of horror. "Believe me, it's...

Newly-released undercover footage, which Planned Parenthood sought to block for eight years, shows the organization’s Houston, TX branch describing delivering late-term fetuses intact and alive and mutilating the bodies afterwards to cover up violations of the federal partial-birth abortion law, in conversations about selling fetal body parts. In the footage of two conversations filmed at the National Abortion Federation’s 2015 commercial trade show, undercover reporters posing as laboratory wholesalers speak with Dr. Ann Schutt-Aine, the Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, and Tram Nguyen, RN, the branch’s Vice President of Abortion Access. In the first conversation, the undercover...

If Iran takes military action directly against Israel, the US public seems to feel it has less skin in the game than in previous years. The 2024 Chicago Council Survey, conducted June 21–July 1, 2024, finds a majority of Americans are now opposed to using US troops to defend Israel if it is attacked. An overall 42 percent of the US public would favor using US troops to defend Israel if it were attached by Iran (56% oppose). While a slim majority of Republicans would favor US forces defending Israel in this scenario (53%), only four in 10 Independents (42%)...

Explanation: A Halley-type comet with an orbital period of about 133 years, Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle is recognized as the parent of the annual Perseid Meteor Shower. The comet's last visit to the inner Solar System was in 1992. Then, it did not become easily visible to the naked eye, but it did become bright enough to see from most locations with binoculars and small telescopes. This stunning color image of Swift-Tuttle's greenish coma, long ion tail and dust tail was recorded using film on November 24, 1992. That was about 16 days after the large periodic comet's closest approach to Earth....

In any and every corner of Ukraine, one would be very hard-pressed to find an ordinary person, civilian or military, who doesn’t want this cruel and brutal war to end. Ukrainians want nothing more than to be able to live without fear of night-time missile attacks, to see their loved ones return home from the front not just for a short vacation but for good, and most of all, to stop the neverending conveyor belt of funerals and obituaries for the country’s best and bravest people. But Russia’s maximalist aims haven’t gone anywhere; in fact, there is a good chance...

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday that “voters” and “the American public can sniff inauthenticity” in Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (Ohio). “I think, in politics — as we all know, we’ve all been around it a long time — voters … the American public can sniff inauthenticity,” Psaki said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “This guy is … not authentic.” Vance has faced criticism for his performance on the campaign trail. In one notable incident, he faced blowback over a quip about Diet Mountain Dew and Democrats saying “it’s racist to do anything.” He has...
