Orange, CA – Records obtained by Operation Rescue confirm that on March 21 Planned Parenthood sent another hemorrhaging woman to the emergency room. This time, from its killing center located in Orange, CA. Planned Parenthood Orange commits abortions up to 24 weeks, well into the second trimester, and it has a history of rushing women to the emergency room after botched abortions. In the last five years, alone, it has injured 11 women – and never had to face any investigation or discipline for even one of those incidents in radically pro-abortion California. In 2024, Operation Rescue also obtained 911...

Omaha, NE – A 38-year-old woman was urgently transferred to the hospital after undergoing a dilation and curettage (D&C) abortion at the Planned Parenthood in Omaha, Nebraska, on February 3, 2025. According to 911 records secured by Operation Rescue, the woman was experiencing “heavier bleeding.” The 911 dispatcher, seeking to assess the urgency of the situation, asked the caller whether the bleeding was “pouring” or “squirting”—terms used to determine the potential for life-threatening hemorrhage. The clinic employee hesitated and then chuckled, saying she wasn’t “all the way down that end” to observe the bleeding directly. Such a careless attitude raises...

members at a funeral in Connecticut spiraled into a melee in which one man was stabbed and a woman grazed by gunfire, police said.

Police said there was shooting both inside and outside the church. “You can imagine what 150 people scrambling out of the church looked like,” said police Lt. Aaron Boisvert, who said bullets damaged the interior. No arrests were announced. Police...

Being a female, I don't have any personal experience with barbershops; however, I wonder how many modern men today visit one. (Yes, I know that some shops cater to women, but for the purpose of this post I'm talking about the barbershop as a male-centric business.) Back when I used to get my hair cut regularly at a local Supercuts (before I finally realized that they didn't know what they were doing and were butchering my hair) I noticed that the place was loaded with male clientele. It was always a little surprising to me, because in my opinion there's...

The banking industry is attempting to take programs from Indiana’s state treasurer because he works to protect Christians and conservatives. ndiana lawmakers amended a proposal that had attempted to give some of state Treasurer Daniel Elliott’s powers to big banks angered by his strong defense of taxpayers, Christians, and conservatives. Yet the program is still at risk of being turned over to the state’s powerful banking lobby, which has donated to all the politicians who control the $3 billion local investment pool targeted by the changes. The provision inserted by Republican Sen. Travis Holdman, a former bank CEO, initially attempted...

Deep beneath the thick ice that covers East Antarctica, scientists are revealing new discoveries about a mystery that has been hidden beneath the continent’s frozen exterior for half a billion years. According to newly published research, clues to the formation of a mountain range the size of the Alps tucked away below Antarctic ice are being revealed, offering geologists a unique glimpse at the processes behind their formation. The Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains, initially discovered by Soviet scientists during an expedition in 1958, have puzzled researchers for decades. Now, these massive features beneath Antarctica’s frozen surface, which were formed long ago...

Disturbing video first obtained by News12 shows Reilly walk out his front door and fire multiple shots at the delivery driver’s car in the street after he’d...

Canada’s national debt has reached a point where the entire Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue is now being used to cover interest payments. Every dollar collected from GST is funneled directly to bondholders, leaving nothing for essential government services. The numbers are staggering. In the last fiscal year, $55 billion was collected in GST, and $55 billion was paid out in interest on government debt. The Bank of Canada holds 20 percent of these bonds, meaning it is effectively paying itself interest on the debt it owns. This raises serious concerns about the sustainability of Canada’s fiscal policy. When...

A member of the House of Lords has called on the British government to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to prevent a war between India and Pakistan. Lord Sarfraz, a Pakistani-heritage businessman and Conservative politician, submitted a formal request on Monday that Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer’s government nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize “in recognition for his instrumental role in averting a full-scale war between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan.” “India and Pakistan were at the brink – once again – but like never before. The nuclear-armed neighbours had...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said Democrats were eyeing the "safest White boy" in the 2028 presidential race, hinting at "one specific candidate" being floated by the party's donors, during a podcast conversation this week. "It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we’ve lost, so far," she said in a clip posted to Instagram. "And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win." SiriusXM host Clay Cane posted the clip to Instagram on Friday,...

VIDEOOne of the most AMAZING scenes in cinematic history came, believe it or not, in the film "Beach Blanket Bingo" when Don Rickles hilariously broke the fourth wall by temporarily stepping out of his role as Big Drop and doing his regular shtick on the cast members. As you can see everybody reacted to Rickles improv comedy as their real selves, not as their movie characters. Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello took Rickles' ribbing in good humor although you can tell they were a bit uncomfortable. However, the most fascinating reaction to Don Rickles was by Jody "Bonehead" McCrea. See,...

A retired British police officer was arrested for “thought crime” comments criticising the spread of antisemitism in the country.Former special constable Julian Foulkes, 71, was arrested and received a police caution, a formal warning given by police to someone who admits guilt to a minor offence, over comments he made on social media, The Telegraph reported on Saturday.

In response to a pro-Palestinian activist’s posts threatening to...

A photograph with a prominent drug cartel figure may be behind the Trump administration's refusal to grant a top Mexican politician a visa to enter the United States. The picture showed Baja California governor Marina del Pilar Avila hugging Emmanuel 'El Botas' Serrano while she was campaigning for mayor of the border town of Mexicali in 2019. Serrano allegedly reports directly to Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, who leads half of the infamously brutal Sinaloa Cartel. The photo first emerged in September 2022, with the governor's office disputing allegations that she had any ties to the so-called El Botas. 'It's a...

European leaders stepped up pressure on Russia to accept an unconditional cease-fire in Ukraine, threatening to immediately impose a new round of punishing sanctions if the Kremlin did not change its stance by the end of Monday. “The clock is ticking — we still have 12 hours until the end of this day,” the German government spokesman, Stefan Kornelius, told a news conference. On Monday, the Kremlin spokesman brushed off the threat. “The language of ultimatums is unacceptable — you cannot talk to Russia like this,” the spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, told Russian news agencies.

California Democrats are currently pushing a bill that could ban law-abiding citizens from buying Glock handguns in an attempt to stop criminals from using “Glock switches.” “Glock switches” are federally prohibited plastic pieces that can be affixed to the rear of a Glock slide to make the pistol shoot full auto. It has become in vogue for leftists to target Glock over the illegal use of the switches. For example, on March 19, 2024, Breitbart News noted that Chicago filed a lawsuit against Glock over the switches, although many of the switches in the U.S. originated in China. On February...
