Henry Hyde had the rare gift of making a grave argument without becoming a grave man. He could thunder on the House floor and charm a room with humor. When Congressman Hyde spoke about unborn children, he did it with a tenderness that never sounded rehearsed. He was brilliant, warm, funny, stubborn when he needed to be, and absolutely clear about why he had come to Washington. He came to defend life. As we prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his Hyde Amendment, the proper tribute is not praise alone, but a clear account of the man who forced...

I was in New York in the spring of 2002, as I often was then, representing National Right to Life as a registered NGO at the United Nations. On a day off from fighting the death cult at the UN, a group of us went down to Ground Zero. The ruins, the destruction, the death- it was overwhelming. I’m glad I went, but I did not go back for another 21 years. I had friends visiting in New York in the Fall of 2023, and one of their must-sees was, of course, a visit to Ground Zero. I went for...

Sports Announcer Suspended After Brutal Joke About Black College Dancers Alabama honeybees.

When I talk about post-viability abortions, a lot of pro-choice people claim those only happen for medical emergencies, meaning either the woman’s life is in danger or the fetus has some kind of fatal genetic abnormality. This is a myth, a pleasant fiction to help pro-choice people be comfortable with their stance. The reality is that there are multiple places in the country where people can get abortions at any stage of pregnancy for any reason. We have plenty of evidence to show that they will get abortions after viability on healthy fetuses carried by healthy women for no medical...

A recent story out of North Carolina confirmed that women are self-administering the abortion pill far beyond the FDA-approved 11 weeks — and it's had devastating results. Key Takeaways: * The FDA has been relaxing safety rules on the abortion pill for over a decade, leading to a lack of oversight and a lack of care for women who take it without medical supervision. * Easier access to the abortion pill via telehealth has led to horror stories of babies found in toilets and in dumpsters. * Taking the abortion pill after the first trimester, outside FDA-approved limits, increases the...

Pro-abortion feminist, “queer,” and “trans” activists stormed London’s famed Westminster Cathedral during a Mass at the start of a pro-life rally and March for Life. Fifteen Catholic bishops were reported to be concelebrating the pro-life Mass. The obnoxious interlopers positioned themselves in front of the sanctuary and unfurled a large banner that read: “Pro-life? That’s a lie! You don’t care if people die!” all the while shouting that same refrain. “This morning, members of the Feminist Strike Coalition disrupted an anti-abortion service at Westminster Cathedral hosting the far right group March for Life,” wrote “The Dyke Project” on Instagram following...

The British Telegraph reported that US officials are investigating suspicions that funds originating from a network linked to China reached organizations involved in pro-Palestinian protests in the UK. According to the report, American lawmakers investigating allegations of covert Chinese support for the left-wing organization Code Pink are examining the group's activities in the UK as part of a broader inquiry into foreign interference. Code Pink has encouraged activists to participate in large pro-Palestinian marches and organized demonstrations outside the British Ministry of Defence and at the London offices of a weapons manufacturer. The investigation is focusing on businessman Neville Roy...

A new complaint requests that the federal government investigate the tax-exempt status of a left-wing nonprofit that has allegedly fomented violent riots. The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) filed the complaint Tuesday morning with the IRS seeking an investigation into People’s Forum, Inc., a New York-based Nongovernmental Organization (NGO) linked to socialist megadonor Neville Roy Singham. CASA’s complaint alleges that People’s Forum routinely organizes and funds protests that engage in illegal activity. "People's Forum Inc. is the tax-exempt fiscal sponsor of many progressive and radical organizations, including the Venceremos Brigade, which engage in demonstrations often crossing the threshold...

A resurfaced video of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D) Islamist accountability partner sparked condemnation and further proved Hizzoner to be a “Trojan Horse” for extremists in America.

Jamey dutifully wore her keffiyeh, took up with a “Palestinian” man, and converted to Islam. Jamey Carney was an American woman who moved to Ireland five years ago. She was a deep supporter of the “Palestinian” cause, took part in marches to protest against the Jewish state, dutifully wore her keffiyeh, took up with a “Palestinian” man, and converted to Islam. And despite all that, that “Palestinian” partner, whom the police described as a “Middle Eastern man,” beat her to death. More on her sad life and sadder death can be found here: “‘Asylum seeker’ on the run after American...

Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight Interviewer: “What do you want to say” First Guy: “If Sheikh Naim wants, I have a 7 month old baby, and I’m willing to put explosives on him and send him to Tel Aviv” Interviewer: “Abbas, do you have anything to say?” Abbas: “I sacrificed my brother Hammudi, and I’m will to also give my parents and all my brothers to Islamic resistance” This is the depravity and psychotic mentality of “Palestinian resistance”. Palestinianism is a mental illness.

Yesterday I wrote that the burden of proof is always placed differently on the Jew: the rabbi who must clear himself from "supporting genocide[sic]" before renting a house in France, the army whose seized weapons are presumed staged, the citizens of revolutionary France told to prove a loyalty no Catholic was asked to swear. The structure is built so the burden cannot be met. Compliance and defiance, denial and proof, all resolve to the same verdict, because the only admissible evidence is the defendant's Jewishness, entered as a guilty plea before the proceedings began. A day later, Scott Wiener walked...

Socialists from the US and Europe put on a concert in Cuba — just as the country was plunged into third blackout this month Saturday. A convoy of socialists — including streamer Hasan Piker, the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, members of Code Pink and lefty Irish hip-hop group Kneecap — is in Cuba with the goal of supporting Cuba’s oppressive communist regime. But Piker and others have been dogged by criticism for staying in a 5-star hotel in Havana, and Kneecap played a concert in the capital city as the rest of the nation of 11 million people faced...

Mohamed Sabry Soliman faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole in the June 1 attack in downtown Boulder, according to the documents...

Kaukji is the predestined commander-in-chief of a volunteer army for Palestine. Together with the Grand Mufti, whose confidant and best friend he is, he was one of the ringleaders of the bloody Palestinian Arab uprising against Jewish immigration in 1936-39. He was severely wounded at that time and fled Palestine. During the war, he met with the Grand Mufti, who had also gone on a journey, in Germany. He has not forgotten what he found so appealing back then: his volunteers are sworn in with the "German salute" under the green flag of the Pr0phet.

Federal authorities say they disrupted a credible terrorist threat over the weekend, arresting four alleged members of a radical pro-Palestinian extremist group accused of planning coordinated New Year’s Eve bombings in Los Angeles. The FBI told Fox News Digital that the members self-identified as part of a radical offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), an extremist group motivated by pro-Palestinian, anti-law-enforcement, and anti-government ideology. According to the FBI, they were allegedly planning coordinated bombing attacks on New Year’s Eve using improvised explosive devices (IEDs), targeting five separate locations across Los Angeles. The agency said the four were arrested...

Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX: Today, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down.

Last week marked the four-year anniversary of America's liberation of Iraq. In response to the longevity of the project, protests were held throughout the nation denouncing the war. From sea to shining sea, the protesters wielded signs with pictures of Che Guevara and anti-American slogans while disingenuously demanding that our troops be brought home immediately. The national coordinator of ANSWER, the coalition to Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, Brian Becker, told me in a phone interview that the protests were held as "an effort to reach the people of this county and as they have become more...
