    Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing an abortionist to stop her from illegally mailing dangerous abortion pills to people in Texas. The top state law enforcement official has filed a lawsuit Dr. Margaret Daley Carpenter of Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine in New York for unlawfully mailing abortion drugs to a Texas resident. The dangerous drugs ended the life of an unborn child and caused the mother to hemorrhage and require treatment in the ER. For practicing without a license and mailing abortion drugs, Paxton has asked the court to penalize the abortionist $100,000 for each violation of the law....

    After years of prayer vigils and outreach, prolife advocates are celebrating the announcement by Planned Parenthood that it has closed its abortion center in Juneau, for good. This follows the 2022 closure of the abortion giant’s clinic in Soldotna. That leaves just two remaining Planned Parenthood clinics in Alaska – one in Fairbanks and another in Anchorage. While there are a number of other abortionists in Alaska, Planned Parenthood is the largest single abortion company in a state where more than 1,200 unborn babies are killed through surgical or chemically induced deaths each year. The closure of Juneau’s abortion mill...

    United States President Joe Biden on Friday (Dec 20) approved US$571.3 million in defence assistance for Taiwan, the White House said, as the Democrat prepares to leave office ahead of the January inauguration of Donald Trump. The United States does not officially recognise Taiwan diplomatically, but it is the self-ruled island's strategic ally and largest supplier of weapons. China, which has ramped up political and military pressure on Taiwan in recent years, has repeatedly called for Washington to cease sending arms and assistance to the island, which it claims as part of its territory. Taiwanese officials said China last week...

    Coalition Life, the nation’s largest professional sidewalk counseling organization based in St. Louis, Missouri, has issued a statement in response to an order issued by the Circuit Court of Jackson County in the case of Planned Parenthood v. Missouri, seeking to strike down laws that limit abortion. “We are gratified that the court has rightly decided to retain licensing requirements for abortion facilities and doctors who perform abortions even while we mourn the loss of protections that are vital to the safety of women and the protection of preborn children,” said Coalition Life Executive Director Brian Westbrook, who pioneered the...

    The 8,000 mysterious drones that have been reported in various locations around the country have generated anxiety and fear among the population. Some are demanding action be taken to neutralize the "threat." Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said "we can't shoot them down because they are operating legally and lawfully. I have been informed that China paid Hunter Biden a $5 million fee for a 90-day permit to fly these information gathering aerial devices wherever they please in our country." "I am also disconcerted that US military bases are included in the agreement between the President's...

    Why the mighty Stonehenge was built around 5,000 years ago has long been one of the great mysteries.But according to a new study, we may finally have an answer.Scientists say Wiltshire's famous stone circle was built as a symbol of unification between three distinct corners of Britain.We know that Stonehenge's rocky slabs were transported as far afield from southwest Wales and northeast Scotland.So the scientists, from University College London and Aberystwyth University, theorise that Scottish and Welsh people brought their own local stones down to Wiltshire as a well-meaning contribution to assembling the structure.In that sense, it represented a powerful...

    George Eastham, a member of England's 1966 World Cup-winning squad, has died at 88, his former club Stoke City said on Friday. SNIP Known for his lethal left foot and creativity, Eastham is a legend at Stoke, famously scoring the winner in the 1972 League Cup final, helping the club win their first major trophy in a 2-1 victory over Chelsea. The Blackpool-born player is also remembered for his crusade against the old 'retain and transfer' system which allowed a club to keep a player's registration as a means to force them to stay. When Eastham's contract with Newcastle expired...

  • The obesity rate in the US fell in 2023 as GLP-1s go mainstream

    Research published in the last week revealed that for the first time in more than a decade, obesity rates among US adults fell slightly last year, decreasing from 46% in 2022 to 45.6% in 2023. While we might need a few more years of data to conclusively tie these results to the rise of semaglutide drugs like Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic, it feels impossible to ignore the timing, with Novo’s sales booming in recent years and hitting a record ~$10 billion in its latest quarter.Sales of these GLP-1 treatments — drugs that mimic the effects of blood-sugar-regulating hormone GLP-1, a feature...

Where do the other very wealthy people coming into this administration fit into this?</p><p>Number one, these guys were all progressive Democrats in Trump’s first term. Look at Bezos, Zuckerberg, and all these guys coming to kiss the ring. With Elon — look, he wrote a quarter of a fucking billion dollar check when we had no money, when Trump had no money. He and I are disagreeing on just about everything, particularly China. But he didn’t do what most wealthy people do, and got sucked in by the consultant class to do TV ads. This guy came in, with his engineering brain, and said what I’ve been saying: This was a base-plus election. This was all going to be ground game at the end...</p>

    PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFNS) ^ | Dec. 9, 2024 | By Keefer
    From concept to command: Celebrating 5 years of the US Space Force PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFNS) -- The U.S. Space Force officially turns five years old Dec. 20th. The sixth branch of the U.S armed forces was established on Dec. 20, 2019, when PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020. Under this act, Air Force Space Command, headquartered at then-Peterson Air Force Base, ceased space operations, was inactivated and the USSF assumed operational control of the space units previously commanded by AFSPC. From there, the Space Force moved forward with building...
  • Sharia courts exploit Britain’s rich traditions of religious freedom: 85 Sharia courts operating across the country

    The Telegraph via Yahoo News ^ | 12/20/2024 | Rakib Ehsan
    Britain has become the Western capital for sharia courts, with 85 operating throughout the country. The news hardly bodes well for those who still believe we have a functional integration strategy. Not only are British Muslims increasingly turning to the UK’s sharia courts, but they also serve their co-religionists from mainland Europe and North America. Also known as “councils”, they have existed in the UK since the early 1980s and issue Islam-inspired rulings on family life and matrimonial matters. The Islamic Sharia Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, formed in 1982 and based in Leyton, east London, is a...

    The perpetrator of the deadly Christmas market massacre that has left at least two dead and nearly 70 injured is an anti-Islam doctor who arrived in Germany in 2006 as a refugee from Saudi Arabia, MailOnline can reveal. The attack, carried out by 50-year-old psychologist Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, saw him ram into a massive crowd at a Christmas market in Magdeburg on December 20 with a dark BMW. Footage taken in the minutes after the crash, which happened at around 7pm, showed al-Abdulmohsen get arrested at gunpoint by German police.

  • Still Room at the Inn: 2024 Census count for states was just released and it shows a giant surge in immigration

    12/20/2024 7:53:04 PM PST · by SeekAndFind · 6 replies
    The new 2024 Census count for states was just released and it shows a giant surge in immigration. In 2022, adding humanitarian migrants (refugees and asylum-seekers) increased international net migration from 999,000 to 1,693,000, an increase of 69.5%. In 2023, the increase was from 1,135,000 to 2,290,000, or 101.7%. The 2024 figure of 2,786,000 included humanitarian migrants. What’s not known with any precision – and what angers voters – is how many of the new entrants were illegal immigrants. A recent Goldman Sachs estimate puts the number at around 60%. We do know that LEGAL immigrants are helping America avoid...

    The Auberge du Soleil, a five-star hillside hotel and spa with a panoramic view overlooking the vineyards of Napa Valley, appears to be first-rate in all ways but one. While the glamorous resort, an hour’s drive from San Francisco, fills rooms that routinely go for $2,000 a night with A-list celebrities and tech titans, financial records suggest it did not provide much of a return to at least two of its investors – Rep. Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul. That changed when it received millions in congressionally authorized COVID-19 relief in 2020 and 2021. he Auberge du Soleil investment,...

    Argentina has come out of a deep recession in a major victory for the country’s unorthodox President Javier Milei, who has spent the past year enacting sweeping — and painful — reforms in Latin America’s third-largest economy. Gross domestic product grew 3.9% in the July-to-September quarter compared with the previous three months, Argentina’s statistics agency said Monday. The agriculture and mining sectors drove the expansion, with consumer spending also growing strongly. But manufacturing and construction suffered sharp declines in output. The news of the economic rebound comes a year after Milei was elected on a ticket to tackle chronic hyperinflation...
