A recent article published by NPR purported to explain how vitally important abortion is — to both a woman’s financial future and the overall economy. NPR claimed that without abortion, women would suffer in impoverished misery, and the economy would also tank. Abortion as economic success In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. NPR recounted a conversation that took place shortly before the Dobbs decision in testimony before a Senate committee. In it, legalized abortion was framed as an economic need. “I believe that eliminating the right of women...

oday as we remember the terror of the 9/11 events many Americans see the EXPONENTIAL problems facing our nation (fiscally, socially and our national venerability) and yet they truly DO NOT believe that we - as a nation - can fall or suffer any form of terror attacks. Fourteen years later our nation is more lawless, godless and evil than ever but all seems "chipper" as me march towards the Day of the Lord! Nothing has been learned by Americans and ZERO repentance is found today in towards Almighty God. American's possess a delusional mindset that illogically believes that, “It...

A new congressional report accuses an office within the State Department of funding groups that targeted and censored small businesses in the United States, overstepping its mandate to combat foreign disinformation. The Washington Examiner outlines a recently released report by the Republican-led House Small Business Committee that raises serious concerns about the activities of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC). The 66-page report alleges that the GEC, which has an estimated budget of $61 million and a staff of 125, has been funding groups engaged in domestic censorship, thereby skirting its primary mandate of thwarting foreign disinformation. The investigation,...

Well, it appears the WNBA and Indiana Fever star was a fan of the post from Swift because she liked it on Instagram. You can see a screenshot of Clark's like below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com. Now, some people might want to read into this and make it a huge deal. It shouldn't be. Clark is free to support any politician or like any social media post that she wants. Will this now being very public stir some controversy? Sure, but it shouldn't. Caitlin Clark isn't parading around cheering for Kamala Harris to be President. She...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way.” Luke 6:24–26Is it dangerous to be rich, to be filled, to laugh, and to have all speak well of you? According to Jesus, it appears so. Why would Jesus warn against these things? And before that, why would He...

A bombshell report has found that Germany could have been more effective at reducing its carbon footprint while saving hundreds of billions of euros if it had invested in nuclear power rather than green energy projects. Leftist-run governments in Europe’s top economic powerhouse made a devastating error by transitioning away from nuclear power and focussing instead on so-called “renewable” sources of energy like wind and solar, industrial engineer Jan Emblemsvåg of the University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway has said according to German daily Welt. While nuclear energy accounted for around 30 per cent of Germany’s electricity in...

Sharyl Attkisson is a rare truth-teller in a profession filled with sycophants and liars. It has been eleven years since investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson first revealed that Barack Obama’s government was illegally spying on her. Although she has pursued the matter doggedly in court, no high-ranking Obama administration officials have ever been held accountable. The incident remains remarkable not only because it laid bare another instance in which Obama’s administration engaged in unlawful, unconstitutional, and unethical conduct (remember when Attorney General Eric Holder got caught arming international drug cartels in Operation Fast and Furious for reasons that only he could...

Turkiye has not recognized the annexation of Crimea, deeming its expulsion illegal under international law. Turkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated his country's unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, while asserting his continuous support for Crimean Tatar rights. "Our support for Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence is unwavering. The return of Crimea to Ukraine is a requirement of international law," Erdogan said in a video message screened at the Fourth Crimea Platform Leaders Summit. Erdogan stressed that the territory's return to Kiev aligns with international law. The Turkish leader expressed gratitude to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and...

Tim Walz is “grateful” that Taylor Swift, the pop star phenomenon, has endorsed his and Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign ahead of the 2024 election. Just moments after Harris wrapped her first debate with Donald Trump in Philadelphia on Tuesday, the 14-time Grammy winner revealed she will be circling Harris’ name on the ballot later this year. “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift, 34, said on Instagram. The endorsement was welcome news to Walz, who praised the singer’s “courage” to speak out.

“Why did you put him in a public school? I want to know why. Somebody needs to be held accountable.” An illegal immigrant, who was a member of the notorious MS-13 gang, was allowed to enroll in a Maryland high school while accused of murdering a 20-year-old woman. Walter Martinez was charged and convicted of killing Kayla Hamilton on July 27, 2022. While awaiting trial, he was allowed to attend school, Fox 45 reported. “When I start from the very beginning and get to the very end, they’re like, ‘wow, that is a really crazy story,’” The victim's mother, Tammy...

[OFFICIAL.] WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-9 P.M. Maj.-Gen. Dix: This department has received dispatches from Gen. SHERMAN down to 10 o'clock yesterday morning. His army is concentrated at Atlanta, his troops in position and well. He says WILSON and STEADMAN are stirring WHEELER up pretty well, and hopes they will make an end of him as GILLEM did of MORGAN. The weather is beautiful and all things bright. No recent intelligence has been received from Mobile. No movements are reported in the Shenandoah Valley, or in the Army of the Potomac. Recruiting is progressing vigorously in most of the States. EDWIN M....

Aurora, Colorado, is normally a quiet, nondescript suburb 30 minutes outside Denver. In recent months, however, the city has been at the center of a national scandal. Beginning last year, a large influx of Venezuelan migrants, some of them members of the notorious Tren de Aragua street gang, reportedly had “taken over” a series of apartment buildings in Aurora—and unleashed terror. Last month, Venezuelan migrants were allegedly implicated in an attempted homicide, an arrest of purported gang members, and shocking security footage that showed heavily armed men forcibly entering one of the apartments. In response to the chaos, police mobilized...

The much-anticipated debate between President Trump and Kamala Harris took place last night. President Trump didn’t need to do much—he just had to hold his ground and remind everyone that Kamala’s had nearly four years to fix all the problems she keeps talking about, yet instead, everything’s only gotten worse. And Trump did exactly that, with ease. Kamala, on the other hand, needed a big win. She needed to blow it out of the water and prove to the American people that she had all the answers and was the “leader” this country needed. She failed miserably on that front,...

Run, Spot, Run, or the illegals will eat you... Last night’s presidential debate saw an unusually reserved and unfunny Trump unable to obliterate a venal communist prostitute puppet like he had done just a few months prior to the demented “Biden” puppet; Harris came in surprisingly well-trained, in possession of a smattering of facts, a couple of insulting sound bite zingers, with the bulk of her performance unsurprisingly consisting of a series of flat out lies. The main issue for the installed replacement Democratic nominee was that Trump was telling the truth, which is precisely why right out of the...

Vice President Harris and former President Trump stood just feet apart in New York City, hours after they faced off on the debate stage, to mark the 23th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Harris and President Biden stood to one side of former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg with former President Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on his other side. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, an ex-attorney to Trump, stood next to Vance. Before the event began, Harris chatted with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Biden, and others around her while Trump...

When everything is free, you are the price. Courageous dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn once stated, “For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog, while, for many people in the West, it is still a living lion.” This is truer today than when he wrote it in 1975.Enter a timely new book calledThe Red New Deal, by Dmitri Dubograev, an American information technology and corporate attorney who grew up in the socialist environment of the USSR. The book is a comparison of current U.S. and world trends toward reconsidering socialism, and the realities of everyday life under socialism. It shares real-life...

Some harsh words for the West's Jew-haters. As the six murdered hostages are being buried in Israel, Brendan O’Neill has some furious words for Western antisemites who have been cheerleading their murderers in Hamas. He rounds on them here: “The deaths of these hostages shame the Western conscience,” by Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, September 1, 2024:…Now this is resistance. Unprepared, unarmed, these six young people did what they could to resist the anti-Semitic savagery of the invading army from Gaza. They repelled its grenades, rescued some of its intended targets, tended to the victims of its racist sadism. They didn’t ask...
