    Kansas City police are searching for a suspect who drove an ATV into an officer, causing them to be hospitalized with serious injuries over the weekend. The suspect, police say, is the driver of a black and lime green Yamaha Raptor 700 who allegedly struck an officer who was attempting to take them into custody Saturday. The officer was briefly hospitalized with serious head injuries and is recovering at home. At a news conference Monday, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves called it “a miracle” that the officer is able to recover from home. Graves and Mayor Quinton Lucas are...

    KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City homeowner who says he’d been a victim of thieves repeatedly took matters into his own hands early Wednesday morning. A male, believed to be a teen by witnesses, was shot about 5:15 a.m. near 27th and Askew. Police say he may have broken into more than 30 cars. People who say they called 911 about the break-ins wonder why police at nearby East Patrol didn’t respond until that shooting happened. From 24th and Bales along Indiana Park all the way to 28th and Askew, Kansas City streets remained covered in broken glass Wednesday...

    MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill claimed Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump was deporting people because he didn’t “like their opinion.” McCaskill said, “The underpinning for this whole thing is this idea that we’re at war with Venezuela, and therefore, these people need to be deported without due process, without the court’s involvement. Clearly, everybody in America wants violent criminals who are here illegally out of the country, end of discussion, full stop. So let’s do it according to our laws. It’s not that hard. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time.”

    Brewing company Anheuser-Busch, whose headquarters is located in St. Louis, Missouri, has pulled its support from St. Louis’ PrideFest after 30 years. Nonprofit Pride St. Louis announced the company’s move on Tuesday, with organization President Marty Zuniga saying that Anheuser-Busch had been a key supporter of the event for 30 years, per STLPR. "For them to walk away from the table in negotiations, simply to note that, ‘we just don’t see the value in it anymore,’ it’s like a bad breakup," Zuniga said. He noted that other large corporate sponsors are "coming in at historic lows" in terms of funding,...

    Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley said on Fox News Monday that it’s time to curb the powers of activist district courts. “The key thing to do here, Laura, is to end the ability of these district courts to abuse their judicial authority by issuing these so-called nationwide injunctions,” Hawley told host Laura Ingraham. “I don’t think they have that authority, properly speaking, under the Constitution, Article III. What they’re doing is they’re purporting these judges, they’re purporting to go out, and to bind parties and individuals who aren’t before them [in their districts].” Hawley said such actions exceed their constitutional...

  • Missouri Orders Planned Parenthood To “Cease and Desist” Chemical Abortions

    Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey issued a cease-and-desist order last week to Planned Parenthood formally prohibiting the abortion giant from performing chemical abortions in the state. The order advises the company to implement a “valid” health and safety plan to protect women and treat complications from abortion-inducing drugs, as required by state law. AG Bailey cited Planned Parenthood’s “uncontroverted track record” of disregarding Missouri health and safety laws as the reason for the temporary restraining order, which makes it a felony for the organization to dispense the high-risk drugs. In November 2024, Missouri made abortion a constitutional “right” in the...

    Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has issued an order stopping Planned Parenthood abortion facilities from dispensing dangerous abortion drugs. The action comes one week after Bailey’s office warned Planned Parenthood of the pending cease and desist order after the abortion business failed to have an approved complication plan to protect women. A recent New York Times piece exposed how Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business, also endangers women and girls with shoddy “care,” including botched abortions, an IUD inserted in a pregnant woman who ended up suffering a stillbirth, sewage leaking into a recovery room and more. Sue Liebel,...

    Missouri’s attorney general wants to know what former President Joe Biden didn’t know and for how long he didn’t know it. In a post on X, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said he wants the Department of Justice to open up a can of worms by investigating whether Biden’s deluge of executive orders and pardons that marked the final weeks of his presidency came at a time when Biden had no idea what he was signing. “I am demanding the DOJ [investigate] whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Baily...

    CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - A federal judge in Cape Girardeau rules in favor of Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s federal lawsuit against China related to the COVID pandemic. Bailey calls the $24 billion judgement against the Chinese Communist Party “historic.” The state sued China nearly five years ago, the one remaining count in the suit accused China of hoarding masks and other PPE. Judge Stephen Limbaugh ruled Missouri suffered direct harm from lost tax revenue and heightened expenditures caused by the hoarding. Bailey says the judgment is six times more than the previous largest judgment in state history.

    The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one. What makes this revelation particularly damning is that the only document confirmed to have Biden's actual signature was his letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Let that sink in for a moment. Remember when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed his discussion with Biden when Biden couldn't recall signing the...

    Abortion supporters claim a Missouri Republican’s plan to create a registry referring pregnant mothers to adoption resources invades their privacy — even if it’s voluntary. Republican Missouri State Rep. Phil Amato’s “Save MO Babies Act” would create a state database that pregnant women may sign up for in order to match with potential adoptive parents who pass screening processes. Democrats and activists who argued that pro-life laws exacerbate “cycles of poverty” among other ills claim it’s “disturbing” and “extreme” to allow such a program. “It is the policy of this state and its agencies to implement a system to reduce...

    In a horrible ruling late Friday night, a Missouri judge has ruled that abortion centers can reopen in Missouri and resume killing babies in abortions. A Jackson County judge struck down licensing requirements for clinics that have stood in the way of abortion businesses reopening after the state barely approved Amendment 3, the ballot measure allowing abortions and reversing the state’s law protecting babies. Judge Jerri Zhang struck down modest abortion limits that protect women’s health, including pre-abortion exams, waiting periods, hospital admitting privileges for abortionist so women can receive emergency medical care after a botched abortion. In a statement...

    CV NEWS FEED // A Republican Missouri state representative this week testified about legislation she filed that would reinstate protecting unborn children from abortion, with the exception of medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, and pregnancies resulting from rape and incest. According to the state’s website, Missouri constitutional Amendment 3 made abortion legal up until doctors consider the preborn baby “viable,” meaning able to survive outside the womb without medical help. Usually, viability is around 22-24 weeks. CatholicVote previously reported that in September 2024, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled to include pro-abortion state constitution Amendment 3, which forbids the government from making...

    Not soon after the general election, and within two weeks of each other, two major financial institutions have left a United Nations Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA). This is after they joined three years ago, pledging to require environmental social governance standards (ESG) across their platforms, products and systems. According to the "bank-led and UN-convened" NZBA, global banks joined the alliance, pledging to align their lending, investment, and capital markets activities with a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, NZBA explains. Since April 2021, 145 banks in 44 countries with more than $73 trillion in assets have joined NZBA, tripling...

Missouri, seeking to strike down laws that limit abortion. “We are gratified that the court has rightly decided to retain licensing requirements for abortion facilities and doctors who perform abortions even while we mourn the loss of protections that are vital to the safety of women and the protection of preborn children,” said Coalition Life Executive Director Brian Westbrook, who pioneered the...
