VIDEOAs soon as David Hogg was chosen as vice chair of the Democrat party he wasted no time in that position using the DNC contact lists to blast out messages soliciting donations to his personal PAC. And now CORRUPT Hogg is attempting humor with the lamest of jokes as you can see on X (forever to be known as Twitter). Although there is nothing the least bit funny about Hogg's pathetic attempt of humor the brutal ratio is HILARIOUS as you can see.And among the responses is speculation that the Democrats humiliating themselves by holding up dopey paddles during President...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a pioneer for LGBTQ+ rights who decades ago upset leaders in his own party when he defied state law and issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples, suggested Democrats were in the wrong in allowing transgender athletes to participate in female college and youth sports. “I think it’s an issue of fairness, I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness — it’s deeply unfair,” Newsom said in his debut podcast episode of “This is Gavin Newsom.” “I am not wrestling with the fairness issue. I totally agree with you.”

Will be arriving in Cape Girardeau this Saturday (3/8). Are there any Rush museums or tours? I see a self guided driving tour. Any Cape Girardeau freeper natives out there? Thanks!

CV NEWS FEED // In order to improve women’s healthcare, Planned Parenthood should be defunded, a former director for the abortion giant who is now a pro-life leader, said in response to a February New York Times article titled “Botched Care and Tired Staff: Planned Parenthood in Crisis.” Abby Johnson’s statement to FOX News Digital was one of numerous pro-life reactions to the Times’ Feb. 15 investigative report by Katie Benner. “Even though I left Planned Parenthood years ago,” Johnson told FOX, “the same things are still happening inside their clinics across the country that I witnessed: using expired medications,...

Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair said on Wednesday that Canada is open to sending troops to a “coalition of the willing” to protect Ukraine from Russian invasion. The remarks followed assurances from radical leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that “everything is on the table” regarding Canadian sacrifices to help protect Ukraine. Trudeau’s government has been among the world’s most vocal opposing Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022 and has regularly engaged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to support the war effort. It also followed calls by European leaders to strengthen their support of Ukraine, which has not outpaced...

Lithuania announced on Thursday that it has withdrawn from an international convention banning the use of cluster bombs. The formerly Soviet-ruled Baltic state of 2.8 million people has also signalled its intention to leave another international treaty prohibiting the use of anti-personnel land mines, News.Az reports, citing AFP. NATO member Lithuania has said it wants to strengthen its defences following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, fearing it could be next if Moscow succeeds. The Lithuanian parliament voted to leave the cluster munitions convention last July, but the cvountry had to wait six months after submitting exit documents to the UN for...

Planned Parenthood has a long history of deceiving women about prenatal development, often telling women that their preborn babies in the first trimester are not actually ‘babies’. However, even in the embryonic stage of life, a human being is still a human being. When a woman named Tommie was pressured by her husband to abort their child, the first abortion facility they visited sent her away, telling her she was too far along for an abortion — but then her husband took her to Planned Parenthood. When she asked the “counselor” there if her child could feel pain, the answer...

Over a third of the USA’s air traffic control systems are in an “unsustainable" state, and the FAA's decades-long project to upgrade them is not going well. That concerning situation was described on Tuesday by the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) in testimony to the House committee on transportation and infrastructure’s subcommittee on aviation. The auditors at the GAO examined 138 ATC operations and found that 51 (37 percent) were considered "unsustainable" by the FAA and 54 (39 percent) were "potentially unsustainable." The FAA deployed six of the ATC systems 60 years ago, and 40 are 30 years old....

Last week, Campeche became the 21st Mexican state to decriminalize abortion, according to reports. On February 24, local legislators approved the State Human Rights Commission to allow abortion through 12 weeks of pregnancy, while also increasing punishments for those who coerce a woman to abort her baby against her will. According to the Yucatan Times, the new ruling modifies articles 157 and 158 of the state’s penal code, increasing the penalties for coercing a woman into an abortion (using physical or psychological violence) from eight to 10 years. It also modifies articles 155 and 159, eliminating all sanctions against anyone...

NASA’s stranded astronauts have acknowledged that Joe Biden deliberately abandoned them in space for political purposes. Barry Wilmore and his crewmate Sunita Williams have been stuck on the International Space Station since July last year after their Boeing Starliner ran into technical issues. At a virtual press conference on Tuesday, Wilmore was asked about Elon Musk’s claim that Joe Biden declined his offer to bring them back on a SpaceX flight several months ago for “political reasons.” “I can only say that Mr Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual,” Wilmore said. Wilmore went on to say he and his...

@LindseyGrahamSC This afternoon I had an excellent meeting with @elonmusk and my @SenateGOP colleagues. It is now time for the White House to put together a rescissions package so that Congress can turn DOGE’s work product into law and save money for the American people. Elon seemed to be very enthusiastic over the prospect of a rescissions package – I couldn’t agree more.

President Trump has drafted an executive order to officially “eliminate” the Dept. of Education, according to the Wall Street Journal. The president will direct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take all necessary steps to facilitate its closure. “The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars—and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support—has failed our children, our teachers, and our families,” the draft order reads. Abolishing the Dept. of Education has been a key promise the president made on the campaign trail. “Oh, I’d like it to be closed immediately. Look at the Department of Education. It’s...

Wyoming’s only surgical abortion center will stop killing babies after the governor signed a law that requires proper licensing for abortion businesses. Wellspring Health Access, Wyoming’s only abortion biz with both surgical abortions and the abortion pill, will quit killing babies for now while it files a lawsuit against the law. This decision followed the enactment of a state law mandating that facilities doing surgical abortions be licensed as outpatient surgical centers. Additionally, the law requires abortion businesses to have hospital admitting privileges within a 10-mile radius. Both requirements are necessary for when abortion clinics injure women in botched abortions...

President Trump’s speech to Congress was a massive success—many are calling it the greatest presidential speech of all time. https://twitter.com/DaRealAmberRose/status/1897135108135772459 While President Trump celebrated a major political victory with last night’s speech, Dems took yet another devastating hit. Their situation is getting dire, and more people are starting to notice what’s being called the “80/20 problem.” We’ll get to that in a moment. Even Brit Hume—a well-known Trump critic—couldn’t deny the reality. He summed up President Trump’s night perfectly: https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/1897138108753420418 And the American people were please, as well. Just take a look at these two sets of numbers: https://twitter.com/philipwegmann/status/1897165985297391664 The...

The Gateway Pundit has obtained a draft copy of the Make Elections Secure Act (MESA), authored by Representative Pete Sessions (TX-17), which would repeal the outdated Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002. Among other things, it would also almost entirely eliminate electronic voting machines and ensure each voter casts their ballot on a hand-marked paper ballot with a manual hand-count. Exceptions for machine use would be permitted for voters requiring accessibility accommodations due to disabilities. President Trump’s call to his cabinet and to the governors across the USA to make elections secure again! Paper ballots, no mail out, voter...

President Donald Trump has ordered the defunding of the UNFPA, a United Nations population control agency which promotes abortions worldwide. This is a continuation of his pro-life policy from his previous administration. In 2017, Trump signed an executive order defunding the UN population group because it pushes abortions on other countries and has worked with China for decades to implement its forced abortion population control policies. Trump’s decision means the pro-abortion UN group will not receive millions in taxpayer dollars. Trump officials informed the UN Population Fund that nearly all of its grants – 48 grants worth $377 million –...

NEW DELHI, March 6 (Reuters) - Action to curb global warming is at risk from a "triple negative" effect triggered by the return of U.S. President Donald Trump to the White House, Brazil said on Thursday, as it prepares to host U.N. climate talks later this year. Trump has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, launched a trade war with Canada, China and Mexico, and upended U.S. policy on the war in Ukraine. Brazil's Environment and Climate Change Minister Marina Silva told reporters in Delhi, speaking through a translator, the "increasingly complex geopolitical context", characterised by turmoil and...

In an interesting 5-4 split, the Supreme Court has denied the Trump Administration’s application for a stay of a district court’s temporary restraining order (TRO) against the Administration’s effort to freeze $2 billion in funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development. The Administration is down by one vote but hardly out in the fight with lower courts over the control of this funding. The unsigned order in Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition refuses to stay the temporary restraining order of U.S. District Judge Amir Ali to force the payment of the money frozen by the Administration....

Mark Smith's argument in favor of this decision are well reasoned and worth a listen. I know folks don't want to spend their time listening to youtube videos but this, I promise you is well worth it. Enjoy!
