Leland Keyser, who Christine Blasey Ford said was a witness to when Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in the 1980s, now doubts that it ever happened. During Kavanaugh’s bloody confirmation in which Ford accused him of sexual assault, Keyser said through her lawyer that while she didn’t refute Dr. Ford’s account, she was also “unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident in question.”But now Keyser said she challenges Ford’s accusation entirely, according to the new book The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation, a book of which, ironically enough, was apparently intended to keep the accusations against Kavanaugh...

SACRAMENTO, September 17, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The California legislature has voted in a resolution that blames "religious groups" who hold to biblical understandings of sex and gender as responsible for "disproportionately high rates" of suicide among homosexuals and transgenders.

In what has become a disturbingly familiar story over the past couple months, another illegal alien has been charged with rape in the sanctuary jurisdiction of Montgomery County, Md.

Lewandowski testified before the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday regarding an impeachment inquiry about President Donald Trump’s potential obstruction of justice.

A judge has dismissed more of the bogus charges against Sandra Merritt, who helped expose Planned Parenthood’s sales of aborted baby parts along with David Daleiden. Judge Christopher Hite of the San Francisco Superior Court has already dismissed one and a half of the 15 felony criminal charges brought against Sandra Merritt by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra for her undercover journalism work which exposed Planned Parenthood’s trade in baby body parts. The statute of limitations has run out on these dismissed charges so they cannot be brought again. The undercover videos, most of which were recorded at the National...

Breitbart Entertainment Editor Jerome Hudson appeared on Fox & Friends Tuesday to discuss the most explosive facts in his new book, 50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know, which Harper Collins released nationwide on September 17. “The political Left says stronger border security is not something Hispanics will support, and the establishment media won’t report the fact that most Border Patrol agents are Hispanic,” Jerome Hudson said. “There are Democrats in Congress today who supported strong border security a decade ago, and are fighting this administration’s efforts to build a wall along the southern border,” Hudson continued. “Meanwhile those...

Remember the dunking-kid meme from a couple of years ago? Little kid runs up to his tiny basketball hoop, dunks the ball, turns around to flex and holler. Meanwhile he doesn’t see that the whole backboard is wobbling and about to collapse on his head. When it does, he looks confused. Congrats, New York Times! And Politico. And CNN. You’re all the Dunking Kids. You keep throwing down on the Trump administration. The backboard of truth keeps falling on your head. The rest of us laugh. The New York Times just issued its most spectacular correction since my personal favorite,...

A much-discussed article by New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, authors of the new book The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation, revives the story of Deborah Ramirez, the woman who, during last year's Supreme Court nomination fight, said that a drunken Kavanaugh thrust his penis at her (she was also drunk) at a party at Yale during the 1983-1984 school year. Pogrebin and Kelly claim that extensive evidence supports the Ramirez allegation. "At least seven people, including Ms. Ramirez's mother, heard about the Yale incident long before Mr. Kavanaugh was a federal judge," they write in...

It’s just shy of a year since Brett Kavanaugh took his seat on the Supreme Court. On cue, the New York Times on Sunday published a “previously unreported story” claiming that as a Yale undergraduate at a “drunken dorm party,” Mr. Kavanaugh had his pants down while friends pushed his genitals “into the hands of a female student.” The accusation is similar to Deborah Ramirez ’s assertion last year in the New Yorker about another drunken Yale party. What has happened since is familiar. No sooner is the “bombshell” story dropped than it starts to look like a dud. It...

Tuesday while delivering the keynote address at the Defense of Democracy Conference at Georgetown University former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Stacey Abrams should be governor of Georgia. Abrams lost the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election to Brian Kemp. Clinton said, “Number one, voter suppression. We saw what happened in Georgia where Stacey Abrams should be governor of that state.” She continued, “Registered voters were kept off the rolls. Their registrations just piled up in some back office with no intention ever enroll them so that they could actually vote.” She added, “We also saw...

Two illegal aliens shielded from deportation by President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are suing the Trump administration to ensure they can collect federal welfare and still obtain green cards to permanently stay in the United States. The open borders group CASA de Maryland and two DACA illegal aliens are suing the Trump administration over its soon-t0-be enforcement of the “public charge” rule, which would save American taxpayers billions by effectively ending welfare-dependent legal immigration to the U.S.

Texas Tech’s Katharine Hayhoe is one of the most respected experts on global warming in the country. She’s also an evangelical Christian who is trying to connect with the very people who most doubt her research. Too bad the temperature keeps rising. A respected atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech University, the 43-year-old had been invited to discuss climate change, and she breezed through her PowerPoint slides, delivering stark news in an upbeat manner: unless carbon emissions were swiftly curbed, in the coming decades Texas would see stronger heat waves, harsher summers, and torrential rainfall separated by longer periods of drought....

The corruption of the best yields the worst. The most obvious example is Satan, once Lucifer, once first among the angels. A mighty person or institution, if turned to evil, does vastly more harm. A rampant, stampeding elephant outweighs an angry ferret. But what if all the rage and destruction of a maddened pachyderm could be squeezed down into that ferret? Could creep among us unseen, unnoticed? Perhaps even gull us into adopting it as a pet? Then as we grew fond of it, it slowly grew in size. It imperceptibly gained power. Until at last the monster we’d...
