CV NEWS FEED // In the wake of the 2024 election, the president of Students for Life is calling on pro-life advocates to remain engaged, emphasizing that despite recent victories, the movement still faces significant challenges ahead. In a November 6 letter, Kristan Hawkins celebrated one of the biggest wins for the pro-life movement, which came from Florida. The state’s extreme abortion amendment was defeated, an outcome anticipated to save tens of thousands of lives this year. This victory was hard-won, Hawkins reported, with support from Governor Ron DeSantis and key contributions from pro-life groups. Other pro-life measures succeeded too,...

Nebraska voters voted pro-life on two key measures in last nights presidential election. Nebraska voters rejected an extreme abortion ballot proposal, Initiative 439, and simultaneously passed pro-life Initiative 434. First, Nebraska voters rejected the “Protect the Right to Abortion” amendment, which would enshrine abortion as a right in the state constitution – defeating it on a 51.2-48.8 margin. Secondly, they voted for a pro-life measure that would ban late-term abortions, adopting it on a 55.3-44.7 margin. Nebraska Right to Life and other pro-life advocates joins other members of the Protect Women and Children coalition in celebrating passage of the ballot...

Fox News just projected Deb Fisher beats Osborn in Nebraska. With Justice winning in West Virginia and Bernie Moreno winning in Ohio, this means the Republicans hold at least 51 Senate seats, giving them a majority.

Jordyn Bahl, a two-time national champion and standout on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) softball team, is firing back after facing criticism for taking part in a political ad campaigning for a pro-life ballot measure in Nebraska. Bahl, 22, was one of six athletes from the university who appeared in a series of commercials encouraging Nebraskans to vote on two competing abortion measures that will be on the state’s general election ballot Tuesday, Initiative Measure 434 and Initiative Measure

CV NEWSFEED // Protect Women and Children on Monday released two new ads to encourage Nebraskans to vote on two major abortion initiatives on the state’s November ballot. The ads are in favor of the pro-life Initiative 434 and against the pro-abortion Initiative 439. The 30-second and 60-second ads feature female athletes from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln: UNL volleyball star Rebekah Allick, a Catholic, and UNL softball players Malia Thomas, Hannah Camenzind, Lauren Camenzind, Jordyn Bahl, and Abbie Squier. The athletes shared their thoughts on the initiatives. “With out-of-state activists lying about the radical Initiative 439, my teammates and I...

Pro-lifers should vote FOR Initiative 434, and vote AGAINST Initiative 439. (Vote for “four” and decline “nine”!) Contrary to some well-meaning, but erroneous misinformation, initiative 434 DOES NOT create a right to abortion in the constitution. We’ve heard a few say that they are going to vote against 434 or simply abstain from 434. Avoid these key mistakes and make your pro-life vote count! Here is what Initiative 434 DOES : * Protects babies in the womb from abortion in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, except in cases of medical emergency, sexual assault or incest. * Preserves the many pro-life...

Democrats, still hurting after two losses in which their candidates won the popular vote but not the Presidency, have been making noise about eliminating the Electoral College (EC). Recently Tim Walz came out in favor of eliminating the EC, but he was quickly cautioned to not say the quiet part out loud again. Many believe this to be sour grapes, another ploy to obtain the real desire; a one-party Democrat nation. Short of actual takeover by a foreign nation, or a nuclear holocaust, there is nothing that would be more damaging to our nation. There exists a constitutional alternative worth...

Former President Donald Trump has made gains in 19 states in the past week, according to a major election forecast. Pollster Nate Silver's forecast shows that the Republican presidential nominee has made marginal gains in six swing states during the past week and in Florida, Texas and New Mexico. Trump has also made gains in New Hampshire, California, Montana, Washington, Massachusetts, Indiana, Missouri, Maryland, Rhode Island and Nebraska, including in its 2nd Congressional District. Nebraska does not use the "winner takes all" system for awarding Electoral College votes. Two votes are awarded to the winner of the statewide popular vote,...

My guest tonight makes shocking allegations against Dem. VP nominee, Gov. Tim Walz…

Newly unearthed reports contradict previous claims made by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about his travel to China, including a claim that the Democratic vice presidential nominee traveled to China for a teaching position in 1989 during the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests... Walz had previously said he visited Hong Kong in “May of ’89,” weeks before the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. ... But contemporaneous newspaper reports first resurfaced by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news outlet, place Walz in Nebraska around that time. An issue of the Alliance Times-Herald dated May 16, 1989, features a photo of Walz touring...

At a 2014 congressional hearing held to mark the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Tim Walz, then a congressman representing Minnesota’s first district, recalled being in Hong Kong when the Chinese Communist Party crushed the student protests that had roiled the country since mid-April of 1989. The unforgettable crackdown came on June 4 of that year."I was just going to teach high school in Foshan in Guangdong, and was in Hong Kong in May of ‘89," he said. "And as the events were unfolding, several of us went in. And I still remember the train station in Hong...

A Republican effort to lock down all of Nebraska’s electoral votes for former President Donald Trump appeared doomed Monday when a state lawmaker denied backers his crucial support for the move. GOP Sen. Mike McDonnell of Omaha said in a statement that he opposes awarding Nebraska’s five electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, like 48 other states do. Nebraska and Maine give two electoral votes to the candidate who wins statewide and one vote to the winner in each congressional district. McDonnell’s position means Republicans don’t have the two-thirds majority they’d need in Nebraska’s unique, one-chamber Legislature to pull off...

In Eastern Nebraska, far from the presidential battleground states, a drama is playing out that could, in a perfectly plausible November scenario, have history-altering repercussions for the nation’s future and the next president — and it may all come down to one man. A single Republican state senator from Omaha, Mike McDonnell, has so far stood firm against a push by former President Donald J. Trump, national Republicans and the Nebraska G.O.P. to change Nebraska from a state that divides its electoral votes by congressional district to one that awards all of them to the statewide winner. Maine is the...

TOP MAINE DEMOCRAT acknowledged on Thursday that there’s likely not enough time to change the state’s Electoral College rules before the election to counterbalance Nebraska Republicans trying to alter their own state’s rules to benefit Donald Trump

The retired Nebraska National Guard soldier, who worked with Walz for three years, recounted the disappearance in an interview as a congressional investigation into Walz's China ties continues. ... It was September 1995, and Tim Walz’s Nebraska National Guard unit, the 1-168th Field Artillery, upgraded to the M109A5 self-propelled howitzer. One of its capabilities was firing nuclear artillery shells. Critical SOP manual for nuclear artillery allegedly disappears .. Alpha News has learned from a former National Guard colleague of Walz that, during that time, a classified document allegedly went missing—the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual detailing the howitzer’s nuclear capabilities....

In 2023, Operation Rescue received an email from a whistleblower about illegal activity at a notorious abortion clinic in Bellevue, Nebraska. The whistleblower stated that felon abortionist Tyrone Malloy, who lost his medical license for fraud, would be illegally seeing patients the following day. The email was received days after late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart died, on April 29, 2023. Carhart previously owned and operated the facility, and his daughter, Janine Weatherby, assumed the role of administrator after his death. Operation Rescue and a local resident of Bellevue, who observed on-site clues supporting the whistleblower’s claims, filed complaints with the Nebraska...

Treasurers and state financial officers representing 14 states sent letters Monday to Costco, Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, and McKesson calling on C-suite leaders to resist political pressure to begin selling the chemical abortion drug mifepristone at their pharmacies. The letters were signed by state financial officers of Texas, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. The letters follow similar outreach in August from firms, financial advisors, and thousands of Costco members representing more than $100 billion in assets under management, including more than $172 million in ownership of the five retailers. “We...

Earlier, we told you how Tim Walz lied about gay marriage and got wrecked for it. Walz's assertion anyone is going to ban gay marriage is laughable. Donald Trump was pro-gay marriage before Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, and Obergefell made it the law of the land in 2015. But Walz didn't stop at gay marriage. At the same dinner, he said it was illegal to be gay in Nebraska, where he grew up and that it's still illegal today. Watch: What a pathetic little man. Because this writer has more integrity than the Democratic nominee for Vice President, she...

Former Sen. Pat Toomey (R), who represented the key state of Pennsylvania for 12 years in the Senate, says he won’t vote for former President Trump or Vice President Harris in November’s election. Toomey noted during an interview on CNBC that he voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 but can’t bring himself to support Trump again because of his efforts to overturn the results of the last presidential election. “When you lose an election and you try to overturn the results so that you can stay in power, you lose me. You lose me at that point,” Toomey said...
