Reports find that while attacks on churches and pro-life institutions surge, only 37% of the US is aware of the crisis.A new report from the Family Research Council (FRC) has documented some 420 instances of attacks on churches in the United States between 2018 and 2022. While the crisis of violence against both Catholic and Christian churches is disheartening, so too is a new report from the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which recently found that only 37% of Americans have heard about the crisis at all. The FRC has been tracking attacks on churches within the US since January...

Kamala Harris is a mess as vice president, as a border czar, and as everything in between, but now we learn something new about why she's such a disaster: she's got delusions of grandeur.According to the New York Post:WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris complained this week about poor media coverage — during a friendly interview with a Washington Post columnist — moaning that the press doesn't focus on what she called "the strength of my leadership.""There are things that I've done as vice president that fully demonstrate the strength of my leadership as vice president that have not received...

Apparently, no one is supposed to be shocked or appalled that Massachusetts public schools are sneaking around on parents to convert their children into the opposite-sex imitations known as transgenders.That's the ruling of an Obama-appointed federal judge, who ruled against the parents of two kids who suddenly declared themselves to be in "the wrong bodies" with the egging on of school officials, who concealed the matter from their parents.According to Mairead Elordi's report at the Daily Wire:A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit from Massachusetts parents who accused public school officials of hiding their children's gender transitions from them.U.S....

Blue states saw the largest population declines in 2022, while red states topped the list with the most population growth, United States Census Bureau figures reveal. This year, California saw more than 343,000 residents leave the state — more than any other in the nation — followed by nearly 300,000 residents who left New York, and almost 142,000 residents who fled Illinois.

While most Americans still celebrate Christmas as a cultural holiday, ironically, more and more are doing so in an entirely secular manner. In fact, by all accounts, there has been a shocking rise in the number of people ditching Christianity, people sociologists apparently call "nonverts." The Pew Research Center now estimates that Christians will be a minority in America by 2070 if current trends continue. And that will be the end of America, as it was founded on natural law, biblical values, and the Judeo-Christian work ethic, the very reasons it was the most successful nation in history.Stephen Bullivant, a...

The War Is Over, and Christmas WonWe Made ItCongratulations! You’ve made it through one of the weirdest years in human history, with manifestations of Godlessness never even conceived of: Men “getting pregnant”, bearded women, Dr. Moreau wannabes injecting humanity with Mystery Juice, popes committing regicide (against Christ the King), robots taking over the workforce. The other day, Joe Biden hosted a drag queen show at the White House which featured pervert performers who are in favor of sexual intercourse with children. And as if not to be outdone, Pope Francis finds himself embroiled in yet another scandal involving his close...

Democrats finally got a hold of Trump’s taxes and released them. It’s their latest attempt at a gotcha, but there’s nothing newsworthy about them at all.There was a big build-up to the news and then it vanished from the media almost immediately.It’s just another example of their unhealthy and pathological hatred of Trump.Red State reports:Report on Trump Tax Returns Has Been Released, Here’s the Big ‘Bombshell’ the Press Is Obsessing OverThere has perhaps never been a dumber national obsession than the one that has existed over Donald Trump’s tax returns. Despite the IRS having had all of them over the...

The FBI relied more extensively on Christopher Steele’s debunked dossier in their Russiagate investigation than has been revealed, inserting key parts from it into their applications for warrants to spy on the 2016 Trump campaign. Agents did this without telling the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that the precise wording was plucked directly from a political rumor sheet paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign or providing judges with any independent corroboration of the explosive allegations. For years, defenders of the FBI and its Russiagate probe have downplayed the bureau's reliance on the opposition research cooked up by Steele – with its...

The FBI paid Twitter millions in tax dollars to censor, suspend and harass Twitter users who only wanted to share the truth. Earlier today, Twitter released another traunch of tweets, this one focused on the FBI and Hunter Biden’s laptop. In one of the tweets, Twitter reports that the FBI paid Twitter millions for their work censoring free speech. Here is the tweet from Michael Shellenberger sharing that the FBI paid Twitter $3.4 million:

Devin Nunes and his Foreign Intelligence Committee caught the DOJ/FBI spying on Donald Trump and were subpoenaing records from the top law enforcement agency in 2017. The FBI reacted by turning it around and spying on Nunes’s staff and Devin Nunes. Specifically, the Special Counsel handled the spying. The Justice Department’s Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Andy Weissman used grand jury subpoenas to secretly obtain the personal email and phone data of at least two top House Intelligence Committee investigators – Devin Nunes’s lawyers – back in November 2017, reports Just the News. It’s likely more than two. This was...

Federal regulators on Tuesday ordered Wells Fargo Bank to pay a $1.7 billion civil penalty and more than $2 billion in compensation to customers for what they say was "illegal activity affecting over 16 million consumer accounts." The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Wells Fargo "repeatedly misapplied loan payments, wrongfully foreclosed on homes and illegally repossessed vehicles, incorrectly assessed fees and interest, charged surprise overdraft fees," among other things. Thousands of customers lost their vehicles and homes due to the bank's activity over the course of several years, the federal regulators said. The $1.7 billion fine will go to the...

A federal judge granted government investigators access to email messages involving Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Scott Perry – the official whose cell phone was seized by the FBI in August, it was revealed Friday. U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell ruled that emails between Perry and other figures in former President Donald Trump's election overturn effort were not protected by privilege. This included 37 emails among Perry, former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, lawyer John Eastman, and Clark's aide Ken Klokowski, a former senior counsel in DOJ's Civil Division. That made them fair game for investigators .... ...The judge also ruled a...

Friday evening in response to the newest release of “The Twitter Files” which showed that federal law enforcement officials were regularly flagging content for Twitter to take action against. Journalist Matt Taibbi said that between January 2020 and November 2022, then-Twitter Senior Director of Trust & Safety Yoel Roth had exchanged more than 150 emails with the FBI. Taibbi showed numerous emails between federal law enforcement agencies and Twitter officials where agents repeatedly flagged election-related tweets from small accounts for the company to censor. “The FBI regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign...

Forty-one House Democrats filed a bill on Thursday to bar former President Donald Trump from running for president in 2024, citing section 3 of the 14th Amendment. “Donald Trump very clearly engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021 with the intention of overturning the lawful and fair results of the 2020 election. You don’t get to lead a government you tried to destroy,” Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) wrote in a press release: Even Mitch McConnell admits that Trump bears responsibility, saying on the Senate floor that ‘[t]here’s no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for...

Elon Musk is performing a great public service by releasing the Twitter Files, which show how the social media company he recently purchased suppressed news about the Biden family’s foreign dealings. While the company’s actions, which occurred weeks before the 2020 election, raise knotty questions about free speech, they are a distraction. The more urgent issue is the conduct of our own government, specifically the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which created the landscape where censorship and disinformation could thrive and possibly change the outcome of the presidential contest. Here is a brief chronology which focuses on the bureau’s key role...

President Trump slapped the current system of weaponized justice in the U.S. on Friday, labeling the scandalous slate of revelations released this week in the wake of the “Twitter Files” drop as part of a broader and perhaps even Orwellian society. “Police State!” Trump remarked simply, captioning a re-post of an earlier statement he made about the shocking data.He previously wrote, “WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE FBI & ‘JUSTICE’ DEPARTMENT? THEY SEEM TO BE TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL! THERE IS, RIGHT NOW, A ‘WEAPONIZATION’ OF JUSTICE THE LIKES OF WHICH OUR COUNTRY HAS NEVER SEEN BEFORE.”This week, Trump also...

Let’s hope House Republicans can catch a really potent case of the courage Elon Musk is demonstrating in exposing the collusion between Big Tech and the deep state—and soon. The release of the Twitter Files, for the most part, confirms what Donald Trump and his supporters knew in 2020. Big Tech drastically suppressed information damaging to Joe Biden—his son’s overseas financial dealings and the Democratic Party’s plans to ensure Biden’s victory with an unprecedented flood of mail-in ballots—before Election Day. The series of posts by independent journalists Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and Bari Weiss reveal internal communications between top executives...

A leaked membership list suggests that Oath Keepers have infiltrated the Department of Homeland Security. More than 300 members of the paramilitary group describe themselves as current or former DHS employees. DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Just weeks after Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy for trying to violently overturn the 2020 election, a leak of the paramilitary group's membership list has revealed that potentially hundreds of far-right extremists have infiltrated federal law enforcement, the Project on Government Oversight reported on Monday. Launched in 2009, the Oath Keepers from the start...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline ” that former President Donald Trump unleashed racism, authoritarianism and neo-fascism on America. Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “My next question, I know the press is hung up. We’re all hung up on the criminal referrals. It seems to a person your perhaps greatest commitment is to is the story, and there’s an impact on what the committee did. We went to school learning about how endangered our democracy really was. We heard from lifelong republicans testifying that story. To you, what is the most important thing that people take from the...
