A Louisiana woman killed her 20-week-old unborn baby with the abortion pill and threw her baby in a garbage can. That’s the shocking story from a pro-life state where officials are pursing potential charges against a New York abortionist who is violating the state’s pro-life law to illegally mail abortion pills to women. Louisiana’s attorney general mentioned the shocking case during testimony yesterday in the state legislature. She also highlighted New York-based abortionist Margaret Carpenter, who is now under investigation again for selling the abortion pill used to kill the baby. Carpenter allegedly mailed the abortion drug to another woman...

Painting the Deep South as an embarrassing cultural backwater is one of the last socially acceptable forms of prejudice among elites. It’s not just tolerated—it’s venerated. Mississippi is probably the top target. I don’t have to tell you why. You know about the poor health outcomes. The poverty. The corruption. The obesity. The Confederacy stuff. Wikipedia has an entry dedicated to the phrase “Thank God for Mississippi,” because its horrible performance on so many metrics saves other states the embarrassment of finishing last. The term has been used since at least 1945. This has made it awkward in recent years,...

The New Jersey home that exploded with a man and a woman inside was the shocking end of a murder-suicide, according to authorities who found one of the victims had been shot in the head. The bodies of the victims, who have not yet been publicly identified, were recovered from the burnt-out home after the fiery blast rocked Tranquility Court in Gloucester County’s Washington Township early Sunday. Investigators have since revealed the woman’s charred remains were located in a bed and that she had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head, the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office said.

President Donald Trump said he may travel to Turkey for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, as he doesn’t believe President Vladimir Putin would show if he isn’t there. "I don’t know if he’s showing up," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. "I know he would like me to be there. And that's a possibility." -snip- The president noted that he has a "full day" scheduled in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Thursday, and he’d planned on sending Secretary of State and interim national security advisor Marco Rubio. But, he added, "I don't know that [Putin] would be there...

Qatar signs an agreement with Boeing to purchase 160 aircraft — the largest widebody aircraft order in the American company's history

Four years ago, the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association published an article by Dr. Donald Moss, a New York psychoanalyst, titled “On Having Whiteness.” There, in a flagship journal of a supposedly scientific discipline, Dr. Moss laid out his thesis in tones more suited to medieval demonology than modern psychology. “Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has,” he wrote, describing it as a “malignant, parasitic-like condition” that induces in its hosts “voracious, insatiable, and perverse” appetites. The article, deeply disturbing on both moral and intellectual grounds, was not rejected as inflammatory pseudo-science, but rather published,...

Predicting the midterms is easy … If Republicans continue to do what they’re doing, which is going against Trump’s Cabinet picks, being worthless and lazy, and doing nothing to help Trump, they’ll lose in a landslide. It’s almost like they want to lose. ... That's exactly what they want. It's easier to blame the democrats when our country falls apart because they'll say they don't have the majority. They have no intention of passing Trumps agenda. Most of them are in on the take. ... Makes sense, they lose, democrats get majority, impeach Trump and they get to continue their...

Congress already has investigated, and confirmed, that Joe Biden and his family took in tens of millions of dollars while he was vice president or president from what amounted to an influence peddling operation. First Son Hunter Biden was part of the plans, and is described as repeatedly having sold access to his father to foreign interests. Curiously, as that income pipeline no longer exists because the influence collapsed on Biden's departure from the White House, there now are multiple reports that the family is looking for ways to start generating income. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has promised, like in...

“They’ll find out. They’ll find out. They’ll find out,” Hakeem Jeffries said Tuesday. ============================================================== House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned Republicans and federal law enforcement against sanctioning or arresting three Democratic New Jersey lawmakers who were involved in a tense immigration protest. “They’ll find out. They’ll find out. They’ll find out,” Jeffries said Tuesday when asked how he’d respond if officials arrested or sanctioned Democratic Reps. Rob Menendez, LaMonica McIver and Bonnie Watson Coleman. “That’s a red line. It’s a red line, it’s very clear.” The three Democrats were inspecting the new ICE facility, which is set to play a...

Fun is watching a president who doesn’t give a rip. One who doesn’t give a rip about what his political opponents think of him. In fact, he relishes confronting, berating and humiliating them. When have we ever seen that in a president? When ABC's Moran asked Trump if he “trusted” Vladimir Putin, Trump let loose, “I don't trust you. Look at you. You come in all shootin' for bear. You're so happy to do the interview.” This is going to be a fun-filled four years.

Seriously, these idiots are going down this road again? Wasting tax dollars, dividing the country. I really hope people reject this “bigley “ Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) on Tuesday started the clock for the House to vote on his seven articles of impeachment against President Trump. Why it matters: House Republicans will likely move to table — or kill — the Thanedar's motion, forcing Democrats into a tough position on a vote many of them would rather not take. Thanedar's move forces the House to take action by the end of the week, unless he withdraws his motion. Spokespeople for...

A group of gunmen fired into a crowded bar, hitting five Venezuelan migrants suspected of being members of the Tren De Aragua gang. Two of the TDA members died during the attack, while three others sustained injuries. The attack occurred on Monday night at the Foro Santa Maria bar in Mexico City’s Cuauhtemoc borough. The gunmen, who remain at large, went into the bar, fired over two dozen shots at the table where the five victims were seated, and then fled. The victims included three men and two women. By the time paramedics arrived, two of the men had died...

The anti-science freak-out predicting President Donald Trump’s tariffs would explode consumer prices has now been debunked as yet another legacy media hoax. The far-left Politico grudgingly admits: “Trump tariffs have little impact on prices so far, defying grim forecasts,” reads the headline. “Inflation climbed at the slowest pace since early 2021 in April, surprising economists who anticipated tariff-related increases,” reads the sub-headline. Notice how the propagandists at Politico lay the blame on “economists” for getting this wrong. But when the media cherry-pick the economists and experts to quote, the media are equally guilty. We all know how this game is...

Citing budget shortfalls, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that California would delay expanding Medi-Cal to more undocumented adults and will charge existing recipients with “unsatisfactory immigration status” a $100 monthly fee starting in 2027.

In New Haven, Connecticut, home to Yale University, a conservative woman spent a year embroiled in the criminal justice system based on the allegation that she had hurled a racial slur at someone. Ultimately, the case was dismissed because videos proved her innocence, but the whole case perfectly illustrates how leftists are destroying free speech by redefining the line between speech and violence. Lauren Noble, the founder of the Buckley Institute, which exists to “promot[e] intellectual diversity at Yale University,” was arrested a year ago. The charge? She allegedly used a racial slur against a parking attendant: The charges stem...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released never-before-seen footage of Jeffrey Epstein’s private island mansion.

Gun lobbyists are expressing dismay with a compromise on silencers included in the fast-tracked budget bill and the GOP’s slow-walking of another demand to stop the taxing and registration of commonly owned AR-15 style pistols. On Monday, the House Ways and Means Committee released its plan, and while it stripped a $200 tax on the sale of silencers, it still required registration and sale approval by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. That angered some gun groups who have been calling for an end to the tax and ATF registration of suppressors, which many consider a hearing safety...

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — President Trump urged Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa to sign the Abraham Accords in a previously unplanned meeting on Wednesday, one day after lifting all sanctions on the Middle Eastern country. The two leaders met on the sidelines of a Gulf Cooperation Council gathering in Riyadh, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan phoning into the conversation. Syria currently doesn’t recognize Israel’s statehood, and the Abraham Accords were just one of Trump’s requests to Syria in an effort to normalize relations. Trump also told the Syrian leader to make all foreign terrorists leave Syria, deport Palestinian terrorists, help...
