Lila Rose @LilaGraceRose · Jul 18, 2023 Two men hired surrogate Brittney Pearson to create their “dream family.” By the end of the process, a 25-week-old baby boy was murdered. [Thread] Lila Rose @LilaGraceRose While pregnant, Brittney received a breast cancer diagnosis & decided to deliver the baby early at 25 weeks so she could receive chemo treatment while giving the child a possible chance of survival. She said her thought was, “I want to keep this baby safe & bring it earthside.” Lila Rose But the purchasing couple didn’t want to pay Brittney for a baby born before 38...

In a 6-3 ruling late last month, Justice Amy Coney Barrett minced no words when it came to so-called “universal injunctions,” lower-court rulings that extended far beyond that court’s jurisdiction. “It is unnecessary to consider whether Congress has constrained the Judiciary; what matters is how the Judiciary may constrain the Executive,” Barrett wrote in the decision. “That goes for judges, too,” Barrett added. “When a court concludes that the Executive Branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power, too.” That decision, by the way, did not decide the merits of the case in...

Several months ago I asked for prayers for both my wife Jane and niece Duane. Here's is an update. In an almost miraculous turn of events, Diane is currently out of any danger and talking about a trip to see us in Florida in November. Your prayers helped enormously. My wife Jane has had a series of set backs in her fight against Stage 4 Uterine Cancer. She recently completed an agonizing 10 weeks in three different hospitals and a residential rehab center. She hard a serious number of blood clots in her right leg removed and is still bed...

democrats have no message for America. None. Donald Trump has them careening about trying to find something to stand for. Their Russiagate hoax has collapsed and the cretins of the intelligence community (Brennan, Clapper, Comey and assorted scum and villainy) are in jeopardy of going down with it. So, democrats changed course- to defending illegal alien criminals over Americans. Americans aren't liking that either, so they've turned to a Hail Mary play- demanding that Trump release the Epstein files. Guilt by association. It's a Machiavellian ploy. They know whatever remains can't be released without a court order. Former Epstein lawyer...

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has referred Sen. Schiff to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for mortgage fraud. It seems that for the past decade the Senator has claimed two different properties as his primary residence in order to get the lower mortgage rates allowed by the FHFA for a person's primary residence. Schiff admitted that "for a number of years I inadvertently claimed both my Maryland house and my California condo as my primary residence because I thought as a member of Congress I was entitled to claim two primary residences--one in the state I represent and one...

It’s bad enough that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting had been funneling millions in tax dollars to leftist propaganda mills NPR and PBS over the decades. But what if we were to tell you that the CPB funded one of America's "fact-checking" giants backed by George Soros responsible for censoring conservatives on social media platforms for years? Because that’s exactly what we’re about to tell you. MRC Business discovered that the CPB, which is fully funded by tax dollars through federal appropriations, gave $599,330 to the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in 2023. Poynter, which runs the left-tilting International Fact-Checking...

House Republicans are planning to subpoena the DOJ for the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, after a congressional panel approved the move Wednesday. The effort, led by Democrats, represents a major breakthrough after they have spent weeks trying to force Republicans to take a vote on the divisive issue surrounding the late financier and convicted sex offender. The House Oversight Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement, which is led by Republicans, approved the motion from Democratic Rep. Summer Lee in a 8-2 vote. It occurred just as the House was taking its last floor vote of the month to...

With Stephen Colbert canceled, and Morning Joe in perilous straits as MSNBC is discarded by its parent company, could Joe Scarborough be making a pitch for a late-night gig? The question arises in light of Scarborough's antics and bell-ringing stunt this morning, bringing to mind a late-night host's desperate bid for laughs.Scarborough went on a rant against Tulsi Gabbard's White House briefing room appearance in which she laid out accusations against Obama in connection with Russian-collusion conspiracy claims about the 2016 election. During vaudeville days, a judge would ring a bell to remove failed acts from the stage. Claiming that...

The Air Force Global Strike Command has ordered an immediate halt to the use of its M18 service pistol following the death of a Security Forces Airman in a “tragic incident.” The Airman was killed by an alleged accidental discharge, fueling long-standing complaints and a recent FBI report suggesting the M18 can fire without its trigger being pulled.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard said Wednesday on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” that she couldn’t have gotten past the “deep state obstacles” to release files exposing the Russiagate hoax without a whistleblower coming forward to provide “critical pieces” to the story. On Friday, Gabbard released newly declassified documents regarding allegations that President Donald Trump’s first campaign colluded with Russia to sway the 2016 election in his favor. While discussing the files with Fox’s Jesse Watters, the host asked Gabbard how she found evidence showing former President Barack Obama and his national security team “manufactured and politicized intelligence”...

Gaza is starving. Nearly 100,000 women and children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and a third of Gaza’s population is going days without eating, according to an expert from the UN World Food Programme. Tons of food sits rotting in warehouses just outside Gaza but the government of Israel will not allow it to be freely delivered. Instead, starving Palestinians must contend with a real-life version of The Hunger Games to try and eat. Over 1,000 desperate Palestinians have been shot dead by Israeli forces since the end of May trying to reach food distribution points run by the...

VIDEOJames Clapper is lawyering up in response to the revelations about the Obama inspired Russia Hoax that have been released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard. He is offended that his veracity will be questioned during the coming investigations. After an examination of James Clapper over the years, what is your conclusion? Is James Clapper Lying? Or is he really just a misunderstood font of truthfulness?

Chenguang Gong, a 59-year-old resident of San Jose, pled guilty on Monday to stealing missile-tracking technology from a research and development firm in the Los Angeles area. The Department of Justice (DOJ) described Gong as a dual citizen of the United States and China. He came to the United States around 1993 and became a U.S. citizen in 2011. He earned a Master of Science degree in electrical engineering from Clemson and has done Ph.D. work at Stanford. He was hired by the unnamed research and development firm in January 2023 as an “application-specific integrated circuit design manager responsible for...

Amid the Watergate scandal, the Senate Committee investigating the incident subpoenaed taped recordings of President Richard Nixon’s White House conversations. On July 23, 1973, Nixon refused to surrender the tapes, kicking off a year-long legal battle. It ended with the Supreme Court ruling that he must hand over 3,700 hours of recordings.

Fox News, owned by the anti-Trump Murdoch family, spotlighted an article on Thursday by Ned Price. It was intended to debunk the bombshell reports being dropped by DNI Tulsi Gabbard regarding the Obama regime’s involvement in the Russiagate conspiracy. Price is the former spokesman for Joe Biden’s State Department, a role he took after his career as a CIA officer. Those facts alone should ring alarm bells about the veracity of his op-ed. Many members of the Biden administration have been named in Gabbard’s drops, and while Price is not among them, he has worked closely with them as a...

California Democrats are reportedly rushing to find a buyer for a refinery scheduled to shut down in 2026 as a potential gas crisis looms over the state, according to Reuters. The California Energy Commission (CEC) is reportedly actively seeking buyers to stop the upcoming closure of the Valero refinery in Benicia, California, according to three people familiar with the matter that spoke to Reuters. Democrat officials are now reportedly scrambling to keep the refinery operating in California after enforcing stringent regulations that have helped prompt refineries to close across the state for years. “CEC is engaging with market players to...

The First Punic War began in 264 BC, lasted 25 years, and was fought between the Romans and the Carthaginians, a civilization in what is today modern Tunisia. The Carthaginians were the most powerful and prosperous force in the Western Mediterranean and North Africa, while the Romans were a growing power on the Italian peninsula. After two decades, with both sides financially and demographically exhausted, Rome prevailed. Carthage ceded Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, and paid substantial reparations. The Second Punic War lasted from 218 to 201 BC. This is the war that saw Hannibal attack from the north, taking his...

You might remember Mahmoud Khalil. He was anti-Semitic student at Columbia who SoS Marco Rubio tried to remove from the country as an undesirable. America-hating democrats have chosen him as their cause celebre and have decided he is worthy of beatification. Khalil made the rounds with those America hating left-wing politicians for photo-ops yesterday. I had a productive meeting with Mahmoud Khalil today who was illegally detained by the Trump admin. Students continue to be wrongfully disciplined for exercising their First Amendment rights and protesting a taxpayer-funded genocide in Gaza.Our institutions shouldn’t fuel an… pic.twitter.com/8vl1nj0h49— Rep.

Attorney General Pam Bondi abruptly dropped off CPAC’s high-profile Summit Against Human Trafficking this Wednesday, claiming she suffered a “torn cornea” and couldn’t make it. The announcement was read live on stage by Acting Assistant AG Matthew Galeotti. Galeotti: “Thank you all for being here with us today and for having me. I do have a note from the Attorney General—Attorney General Pam Bondi—that I wanted to share, which is the following: ‘I’m sorry to miss all of my CPAC friends today, especially Matt and Mercy Schlapp, Senator Blackburn, and the wonderful team at the Tim Tebow Foundation. Unfortunately, I...

Russia’s Su-35 “Super Flanker” is touted as the pinnacle of its 4th-generation fighters, a highly maneuverable jet meant to rival the best in the West. However, the aircraft is based on a Cold War design and suffers from a fatal flaw: its outdated radar system is comparable to 1980s U.S. tech and lacks key modern features.
