A vandal at UCLA spray painted all over signs set up on the quad meant to generate a debate about the pro-life cause, according to a video of the incident posted by the group. The pro-life organization Justice For All was invited to UCLA by the school’s student pro-life club, LiveAction, to host an event “centered on promoting peaceful dialogue between pro-life and pro-choice people, and building common ground for dialogue,” a campus source told The College Fix. Members of Justice For All recorded the incident and released video footage of it on social media on Thursday. It shows a...

Former hostage Mia Schem has reported that staff at the Cannes film festival confiscated the yellow ribbon she was wearing to show solidarity with the hostages still held in Gaza. The 22-year-old, who has dual Israeli French citizenship, said that security personnel took it from her as soon as she arrived on the red carpet at the 78th annual film festival. “I came to support the struggle to bring back the hostages,” Schem told Israel’s Channel 12 News. “Unfortunately, at the entrance to the red carpet, the festival organisers confiscated the ribbon I was supposed to wear.” She said that...

During a press conference today, Governor DeSantis addressed the failure of Congress to enact one DOGE suggested cut. Elon Musk and his DOGE team found over 900 billion dollars in cuts. Congress has not followed up on even one. Protect Your Retirement... BUT Beware of Gold IRA Dealer Lies This is the key section of Governor De Santis’s comments which also spoke to successes in Florida: “Trillion dollar deficit is a tax on you. It works its way through the economy. There’s no free lunch, and that’s what ends up happening. And it’s a little frustrating. “You know, Elon Musk...

By all accounts, King Charles III’s major address on Tuesday in Ottawa was meant to be a rebuke to Donald Trump and all his taunts about Canada becoming a 51st state if it had to depend on money from the U.S. in order to survive. Yet when Charles finally delivered his highly anticipated address, he ended up undercutting Canadian sovereignty more than supporting it. Letting Trump have it was the whole point of Charles’ trip: AP reported Friday that Charles was “coming to Canada to deliver a message: Canada is a sovereign nation distinct from the United States. U.S. President...

"...You should have nipped this in the bud in the interview process look at his face ..."

Elon Musk said he is "disappointed" by the costs of President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" passed by Republicans in the House last week. "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," Musk told "CBS Sunday Morning" in an exclusive broadcast interview The remarks by Musk, who recently stepped back from running the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, are in contrast to Trump, who backed the legislation, which still needs Senate approval.

Liverpool, England, has a rich, consequential, and sometimes controversial history. More recently, it may be known to many as home of the Beatles. It is also where one of the world’s most famous soccer clubs play. Liverpool F.C. just won the vaunted English Premier League title. Commence celebrations with a joyful street parade. Stop! End celebrations in tragedy as a vehicle mowed down bystanders, injuring dozens.The investigation is ongoing, but in record time (compared to other mass-casualty crimes) the police have identified the driver as a white male, British, from Liverpool. The apparent motivation for releasing these details so promptly...

President Trump on Monday suggested taking grant money from Harvard and giving it to trade schools instead. “I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!!” The comments come days after the administration’s feud with the nation’s oldest college intensified when the Department of Homeland Security announced it would eliminate Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification over the “pro-terrorist conduct from students...

In his speech to the Canadian Parliament, the King sent a stronger-than-expected message to Donald Trump today. In the face of the US President’s goading, imposition of tariffs, and threats to annex his northern neighbour, Charles III warned Canada was facing unprecedented challenges in the postwar era in a world that has never been more dangerous and unstable. But he insisted Canada would protect their self-determination, forge new economic relationships with allies based on free trade, strengthen their military, and in a pointed signal to his old friend in the White House, a big fan of the Royal Family, he...

The good news is that moonbattery is not a sustainable ideology. Europe will be free of feminists, communists, and their woke worshipers. The bad news is that we might not like what replaces them. Via Allah’s Willing Executioners: The Ribera neighbourhood in Barcelona woke up with dismay [last] Thursday. The recently painted feminist mural in Carrer de la Bòria was vandalised in a way that disturbed residents. Under the motto Free, feminist and rebellious, the artist Mariel Soria had painted the portraits of eight women (including Simone de Beauvoir, Maria Aurèlia Campmany, Àngela Davis and Malala Yousafzai) together with a...

Summer camps to LGBTify children are becoming ubiquitous (see e.g. here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). But at least parents uninterested in encouraging their boys to be light in the loafers can send them to a football camp — just not this one: Who says football can’t have a little glitter with its grit? Meet Khalen Saunders, the 28-year-old defensive tackle for the New Orleans Saints, who just made a game-changing announcement: he’s launching an LGBTQ+-friendly youth football camp this summer. And in his own words? “Football is for all.” “All” does not include healthy, normal kids...

June is almost here, which means the corporate spasm of rainbow flag-waving is about to commence with all the subtlety of a Vegas drag show crashing a funeral. Pride Month, the holiest month in the calendar of Ba’al worship, is not content with simply your tolerance of them. Tolerance was the Trojan horse. The beast has now kicked down the gates, marched into the public square, and has begun licking its chops at your children. Quick Review: Kellogg's Together with Pride Cereal - Cerealously You’ve seen it—on cereal boxes, children’s clothing displays at Target, bank ads on Hulu and Netflix,...

In a recent episode of his podcast, Ask N.T. Wright Anything, Wright was asked by a self-described trans-identified woman—who now lives as a man and has undergone surgeries including a hysterectomy—whether her current lifestyle is sinful, and how the Bible might speak to her situation. According to The Christian Post, Wright responded not with clarity, but with the kind of theological oatmeal that tries to nourish everyone and ends up feeding no one. Wright affirmed that “God meets us where we are and loves us as we are,” insisted this wasn’t an “anything goes” situation, then promptly refused to say...

The pastrix of Downey Avenue Christian Church—a church and a denomination that is anything but Christian—compares the explicit novel, The Color Purple, to Scripture, calling it “holy and inspired.” Not metaphorically. Not emotionally. No, she literally calls it a “sacred text.” Because apparently, in her world, Alice Walker and the Holy Spirit are co-authors now. “When the Bible was bound and written and put together, the inspiration of the Spirit did not cease,” she preaches, as if divine revelation is still trickling in through Broadway playbills and Oprah’s Book Club. Forget the apostles—apparently, the real prophets are writing musicals now....

Those rejecting GHF humanitarian Aid backed by US/Israel. An empty long blah blah non-answer to a simple question. As if it was so "humanely" when UN handled it... (Ciaran Donnelly of IRC). Geee. I thought it's urgent and there is no time for tests or "honor" stuff. _____ PBS NewsHour, 5.27.25. Nick Schifrin: But, in some ways, if this is the structure that Israel is demanding, why not as an international humanitarian aid organization back this structure if this is what the government of Israel requires in order to feed two million people? Ciaran Donnelly: The starting point for our...

The Presbyterian Church (USA) just revealed its membership numbers for 2024, and it is not pretty. The liberal denomination is showing a continued loss of membership, closure of churches, an increasingly aging population, and an inexorable decline into irrelevancy, with one of the only rising data points being the number of members who identify as “non-binary” or “genderqueer.” Since its formation, the PCUSA has denigrated to one massive pen for goats, run almost exclusively by faithless, didn’t-finish-well octogenarians and blue-haired lesbians, with barely a sheep to be found anywhere. Some of their greatest hits over the last three years include:...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Agri-Business; End to Sex Slavery; Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.

Conservative and pro-life groups are again asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate five fetuses found near a Washington, D.C. clinic in 2022 now that President Donald Trump is back in office. Nine organizations sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro sounding the alarm about pro-life activists’ discovery of the bodies in containers from the Washington Surgi-Clinic. Some of the babies discovered were so large that they brought suspicion of illegal partial-birth or post-birth abortions, and the Biden administration only prosecuted those who protested at the clinic in 2020. “In 2022, pro-life activists in Washington, D.C.,...

The Missouri Supreme Court today issued a ruling that could reinstate the state’s abortion safety standards — previously blocked by a lower court—by requiring the case to be reevaluated under a stricter legal standard. The decision effectively blocked abortions in Misosuri, with no abortion businesses able to meet the basic standards, and babies will be protected for now. The Court’s decision ordered Judge Jerri Zhang of the 16th Circuit to vacate her earlier rulings from December 2024 and February 2025, which had allowed abortions to temporarily resume in the state following the passage of Amendment 3. The Missouri Supreme Court...
