Former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said that “abortion bans have killed another woman in Texas” in response to a ProPublica report published Wednesday. Clinton’s comments came in a Wednesday post on the social platform X, which included a link to ProPublica’s story. According to the outlet, a 37-year-old woman named Tierra Walker had been dealing with health issues during her pregnancy. She faced increasing blood pressure and diabetes and was aware she faced a raised chance of potentially fatal pregnancy complication, according to ProPublica. In mid-October of last year, Walker decided it was necessary to request...

A review of the new film and a look at its public health relevance todayEighty years ago, on November 20, 1945, one of the most unusual and important court trials in history began. The trial was deliberately convened in the bombed out German city of Nuremberg, notorious for huge Nazi party rallies. The new film, "Nuremberg," recounts the trial of Nazi leaders and remains highly relevant for engaging with public health and the politics of today in Germany, the U.S., and many other nations. On Trial in "Nuremberg" A few days after the end of World War II, in May...

A group of Arizona high school teachers faced death threats after being accused of mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination by wearing bloody T-shirts emblazoned with the words 'Problem Solved' to school on Halloween. The math teachers from Cienega High School outside Tucson came under fire when Andrew Kolvet, a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) spokesperson, claimed they were making light of the activist's murder. 'Concerned parents just sent us this image of what’s believed to be teachers... mocking Charlie Kirk’s murder with costumes,' Kolvet wrote in a since-deleted X post, according to KJZZ. A photo shared by the Vail School District depicted...

The movie begins with a suicide at a skyscraper in Philadelphia. Later that day, five people who have business to conduct in this same skyscraper, board an elevator. Their sins, their pride, and their backgrounds lead them, by unusual circumstances and timing, to elevator 6. Ben Larson (Bookeme Woodbine) just started working at this building as a Security Guard who has a violent past. Vince McCormick (Geoffrey Arend) is a mattress salesman, and a scam artist who cheats people out of their money via a Ponzi scheme. Sarah Caraway (Bojana Nocakovic) is trying to divorce her husband and take a...

A Texas doctor has surrendered her medical license after being sued by Attorney General Ken Paxton over her prescribing of so-called cross sex hormones to children in the state. In October 2024, Paxton sued May Lay, a Dallas-based doctor, for providing "high-dose cross-sex hormones to twenty-one minor patients for the direct purpose of 'transitioning' the child’s biological sex," using false diagnoses and billing codes. This went against a bill passed in Texas in 2023 that prohibits medicinal and surgical procedures for the purposes of changing a child’s gender. Lau had previously entered into a Rule 11 agreement, which prohibited her...

That's enough of that.In decades past, as the effects of climate change slowly became undeniable, some looked to the super-rich — the billionaires with enough cash to really make a splash — for solutions. They backed green energy campaigns and carbon capture programs, pushed plastics recycling and climate change messaging. New products hit the market as ethical consumption became the rule of the day: electric vehicles, solar panels, reusable bags, carbon-neutral dryer balls. By the early 2020s, billionaires had positioned themselves as the masters of climate change policy, taking advantage of their great fortunes to become indispensable to environmentalism. Now,...

Yesterday, I was glancing at the television at the barber shop and I saw an advertisement for the SPLC for $19/month. They will give you a T-shirt that says 'Stop Hate'. I guess the SPLC got funding cut off by DOGE... 😀 I guess I'll send them a note -- F You, SPLC.

President Trump wanted an excuse to send National Guard troops to Chicago, and now he’s got one. The Windy City in recent days has done its best imitation of Los Angeles, where resistance to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations created the justification for a Guard deployment a couple months ago. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson hate the notion of the National Guard in the streets of the city, but have failed to rally Chicago residents to do the one thing necessary to avoid the deployment — let federal officers do their job.The word should have gone...

One of the world’s most infamous actresses attempted to troll Trump supporters on social media, but it blew up in her face when users answered her snarky question with brilliance. “Wicked” star Ariana Grande shared an Instagram post on Sunday trashing the Trump administration’s policies, including immigration, trans issues, and free speech. She then posed a question meant to embarrass the president’s 77 million supporters. The message reads as follows: I want to check in with trump voters. I have one very genuine question: it’s been 250 days. now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities...

A Houston youth baseball coach was nearly gunned down earlier this week while kneeling before God with his young players in a senseless crime. As Fox News reported, a coach for the Texas Colts was in a pregame prayer with his players on Sunday when three people fired gunshots in their direction from a nearby pasture. Video of the incident obtained by local news outlets shows the 12-year-old players running to safety while the bullets fly. One adult is struck and collapses to the ground next to home plate.

Disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok has lost his long-running lawsuit claiming he was illegally fired for sending messages attacking President Trump during his first term. Strzok had argued that he was only fired in 2018 because Trump reacted furiously to texts the agent exchanged while investigating ties between Russia and the Republicans’ 2016 campaign. But US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Tuesday that Strzok failed to show it violated his First Amendment rights. The judge, appointed by President Barack Obama, praised Strzok as having been “among the FBI’s leading counterintelligence experts” — but ruled that there was “no...

Reverend Howard-John Wesley received a minute-long standing ovation from his congregants yesterday, a week after his nasty anti-Charlie Kirk sermon went viral. We previously wrote about him after he used used Proverbs 30 to argue in FAVOR of LGBTQ relationships. Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Wesley, the senior pastor of the Alfred Street Baptist Church in Virginia, preached last week in a widely circulated message: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated, but I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff, calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an...

A wicked leftist from California is not taking the reality of consequence culture very well after mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination. As The Gateway Pundit reported, influencer Megan Farina went on TikTok earlier this week and posted a video poking fun at Kirk’s death by making a sarcastic and evil remark. This is what Farina said about Kirk. Does she sound like someone who deserves any sympathy? “Gather ’round, b****es,” she said, in a vocal fry register that speaks of someone who’s spent too much time with wannabe girlbosses and/or smoking Marlboro Reds. “Join hands and bow our heads in thoughts...

Charlie Kirk’s murder sparked peaceful resolve, not riots—sharply contrasting the violence, destruction, and radical agendas unleashed after George Floyd’s death. Just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the left is working overtime to hide the truth and create fantasies about his death. Specifically, leftists alleged that conservatives were going to “pounce” on the death to wage protests and boost radical agendas in the manner of what followed George Floyd’s death. Here are some of the lies that such a ridiculous narrative entails. One, Charlie Kirk is not conservatives’ George Floyd. There were no mass riots after his death of...

This is merely one of the 'pied pipers' promoting the radical left's violence which they are publicly owning since 9/10/25 in the wake of their collective assassination of Charlie Kirk. The entirety of the post: Popular streamer Destiny refuses to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk, says "you need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed." "On Piers Morgan: "I won't condemn anything until [Trump] can go on air and say all of us need to calm down." On stream: "You need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go to events so that they look to their...

Pray — not just for comfort, but for courage and prudence to frustrate evil where it has taken individuals and institutions captive. On Wednesday, after an assassin fatally shot conservative organizer Charlie Kirk in the throat while he spoke at a campus event in Utah, the reaction on the left was twofold. Online and in the real world, some celebrated Kirk’s death and said, in so many words, that he had it coming. Others issued statements, mostly vanilla, decrying “political violence” and expressing sympathies for Kirk’s family. A few said they were “praying.” Many conspicuously didn’t, instead blandly saying their...

Fired MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd on journalist Katie Couric’s YouTube channel Friday complained about how his former network was covering Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension, but not his firing. Dowd was fired on Sept. 10 after appearing to suggest on “Katy Tur Reports” the same day that Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric naturally led to him being shot. Dowd said on Couric’s YouTube channel that MSNBC pundits were providing wall-to-wall alarmist coverage about Kimmel, whose suspension also followed comments about Kirk, while ignoring him. “All the shows are talking about how this is awful for America that...

Olivia Krolczyk has been on a mission since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, scouring social media to find those celebrating his death — then alerting their employers. The 22-year-old takes credit for getting hundreds booted from their jobs.“It’s not cancel culture, it’s holding people accountable,” she said in one video defending her actions.Ms. Krolczyk, who has gained a following opposing transgender athletes participating in women’s sports and has appeared as a speaker for Mr. Kirk’s Turning Point USA, is not alone.Furious at the nastiness and, in some cases, full-on embrace of political violence, conservatives are harnessing public pressure to go after targets...

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from.” “And in between the finger pointing there was grieving. On Friday the White House flew the flags at half staff which got some criticism, but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this.” ~~ video clip of President Trump ~~ “Gotcha. He’s at the fourth stage of grief, construction [audience laughs, applauds]...demolition...construction.” [at the White...

The Massachusetts Teachers Association is calling on school districts not to punish educators who have reacted positively to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. MTA President Max Page and Vice President Deb McCarthy are urging districts and public colleges and universities to be “partners with unions in the fight to defend educators from bullying and harassment and to protect their rights."
