Caleb J. Lines, Senior Minister of University Christian Church, whose church is part of the United Church of Christ (UCC) denomination, might hate Jesus more than anyone we know. We could tell you that he’s pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, and routinely insists that the bible should not be trusted, that it is not “God-breathed,” and that Jesus did not die for the sins of the world, but this recent Instagram post explains the level of reprobation we’re dealing with. Months after preaching a sermon where he claimed Jesus was xenophobic and misogynistic and needed to be corrected and called out by the...

A federal judge has paused an attempt by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to imprison Christian pro-life activists for up to ten years. Judge Matthew Leitman, an Obama appointee, paused the DOJ’s FACE Act and felony conspiracy case against seven pro-life activists who are awaiting sentencing over a peaceful protest at a Michigan abortion clinic, citing the results of the 2024 election and the potential for the next presidential administration to handle such cases differently. “As further discussed on the record, the Court will conduct another status conference during the week of March 24, 2025, to receive a...

Several liberal women have gotten sterilized or plan to, blaming their decision to become infertile on Donald Trump winning the 2024 presidential election. In interviews with Newsweek, the women, including an OnlyFans model, said they are afraid of their “reproductive rights” being taken away once Trump becomes president again. Trump has repeatedly said he believes abortion is a states issue, although his left-wing opponents have baselessly claimed that he will ban abortion nationwide. Eden Ixora, 25, of Florida, who reportedly creates content for OnlyFans, said, “the idea of getting pregnant is worse than death.” She told the outlet she is...

Trust in the justice system has been “almost irreparably damaged by the Bidens,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in reaction to President Joe Biden pardoning Hunter, his criminal son, for crimes spanning back to 2014. Johnson reminded Americans of the fact that Biden insisted time and time again that he would not pardon his son. “President Biden insisted many times he would never pardon his own son for his serious crimes. But last night he suddenly granted a ‘Full and Unconditional Pardon’ for any and all offenses that Hunter committed for more than a decade!” Johnson exclaimed.

If the Bidens want to escape legal accountability for their pay-for-play operation, Joe better be ready to pardon the whole family.. Joe Biden, who spent his vice presidency as the “big guy” behind his son Hunter’s foreign influence-peddling exploits and skated into the presidency because media and tech gatekeepers covered up news of the family pay-for-play business, issued a blanket pardon to Hunter for “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.” The pardon doesn’t just apply to the (comparatively)...

Republican calls for the release of the ‘J-6 protesters’, a reference to supporters who stormed Congress in 2021 Donald Trump has said Joe Biden should now pardon those imprisoned for the Jan 6 Capital riots after he released his son from likely jail time. The outgoing president had repeatedly said he would not pardon Hunter, 54, who faced spending years in prison on felony firearms and tax charges, but did so on Sunday night. “Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice,” Mr Trump said of the decision on social media. The Republican called for the release of the “J-6 protesters”,...

After vowing for years that he would not pardon his son, Hunter, Joe Biden on Sunday signed a “full and unconditional pardon” for all offenses he “may have committed” between 2014 and 2024, claiming that Hunter was “singled out only because he is my son.” For those offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024, including but not limited to all offenses charged or prosecuted (including any that have resulted in convictions) by Special Counsel David C. Weiss in Docket...

Hunter Biden’s pardon looks a lot like Richard Nixon’s. President Joe Biden’s grant of clemency on Sunday night — an extraordinary political act with extraordinary legal breadth — insulates his son from ever facing federal charges over any crimes he possibly could have committed over the past decade. Experts on pardons said they could think of only one other person who has received a presidential pardon so sweeping in generations: Nixon, who was given a blanket pardon by Gerald Ford in 1974. “I have never seen language like this in a pardon document that purports to pardon offenses that have...

President-elect Donald Trump hinted at mass pardons for defendants tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot – with his team vowing he would also overhaul the “Democrat-controlled” Department of Justice — a little more than an hour after President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Sunday night. “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!” Trump posted on Truth Social. The 45th president, who won back the White House last month, floated pardons during his campaign for the more than 1,500 defendants...

Republicans accused President Biden of lying and corruption after the president's stunning Sunday night reversal to pardon his son Hunter – but the deeper cut came from a prominent member of his own party. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, ripped Biden's lame duck decision and accused the chief of his party of putting 'family ahead of the country.' 'While as a father I certainly understand President @JoeBiden’s natural desire to help his son by pardoning him, I am disappointed that he put his family ahead of the country,' Polis wrote. 'This is a bad precedent that could be abused...

A Planned Parenthood representative has confirmed claims they saw appointments for vasectomies increase by 1200% the day after the election, revealing that vast increases in other service requests have also occurred as progressives irrationally scrambled following a post-Trump victory. Snopes, the left-leaning fact-checking group, responded to allegations by Live Action’s Lila Rose that vasectomy appointments increased by 1200%, confirming her statistics. Snopes spoke to Danika Severino Wynn, Planned Parenthood’s vice president of care and access, who offered: Americans may be rightfully feeling fearful and worried about the prospect of further restrictions on our freedom to control our bodies. Waking up...

The British parliament backed a bill Friday that would legalize assisted suicide. Following hours of debate, the United Kingdom’s House of Commons voted 330 to 275 in favor of a law that allows citizens with less than six months to live to end their own lives, according to several reports. The “Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life)” bill must still pass through parliamentary committees and the UK’s House of Lords to become law, according to CNN. Kim Leadbeater, the lawmaker who introduced the bill, expects this to take an additional six months, according to Reuters. Oxford ethicist Dr. Calum Miller...

Abstract Problem/Condition: CDC conducts abortion surveillance to document the number and characteristics of women obtaining legal induced abortions and the number of abortion-related deaths in the United States. Period Covered: 2022. Description of System: Each year, CDC requests abortion data from the central health agencies for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City. For 2022, a total of 48 reporting areas voluntarily provided aggregate abortion data to CDC. Of these, 47 reporting areas provided data each year during 2013–2022. Census and natality data were used to calculate abortion rates (number of abortions per 1,000 women aged...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Sweepstakes has taken an interesting turn after Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration for the role in the next Presidential Administration. President Donald Trump now nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his next selection… and the pro-abortion industry isn’t happy about the pick at all. The pro-abortion news outlet the 19th notes in a report that “[Bondi] also defended a Florida law that at the time required women to wait 24 hours after meeting with a physician to receive an abortion.” Additionally, in a press release, the pro-abortion...

As the second Trump administration prepares to commandeer the regulatory apparatus, blue states may be hoping the Supreme Court strikes down Biden administration demands on red states to protect them from the same treatment under President Trump. More than 20 states, nearly as many federal lawmakers and dozens of conservative, pro-life and religious groups asked SCOTUS to overturn a ruling that refused to block the Department of Health and Human Services from cutting off Oklahoma's Title X family planning funds for not giving women information about abortion. Like many red states, Oklahoma further restricted abortion after SCOTUS scrapped federal abortion...

An Idaho teenager has been arrested for allegedly leaving a dead baby in a Safe Haven Baby Box over a month ago. Angel N. Newberry, 18, of Twin Falls was taken into custody by the Blackfoot Police Department on November 21 for reportedly leaving a newborn girl in the box at the Grove Creek Medical Center in Blackfoot. While the baby girl was removed from the box 'within a minute' of the clinic receiving the alarm on October 13, staffers soon realized that the newborn had been dead long before being left. 'The medical team removed the infant from the...

A recent hit piece against a pro-life law — this one from USA TODAY — features the story of a woman who was given an abortion in a pro-life state. Despite the fact that she received appropriate medical care that is standard in every state, did not die, and received an abortion, the media is still exploiting her story for pro-abortion political gain. The article makes it quite obvious that the pro-abortion media attacks against pro-life laws have nothing to do with protecting women’s lives and everything to do with exploiting tragic stories to gain support for abortion among sympathetic...

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek (D) has announced that the state has supposedly stockpiled enough of the drug mifepristone — the first drug in the two-drug abortion pill regimen — to kill babies for the next four years of Donald Trump’s presidency. An announcement published on the governor’s website on Monday said “[T]he Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have executed an updated agreement to continue operating the distribution of the state’s emergency Mifepristone supply into the future.” In April of 2023, Kotek had told OHA to partner with OHSU to secure a three-year supply of...

Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas has relocated to a new facility that it built in Central El Paso, and according to the pro-life Southwest Coalition for Life, the abortion giant used a fake name during the process. Planned Parenthood began building the new multi-million dollar facility last year under the name “Pima Medical,” said Southwest Coalition in an email. The new building is located just 16 miles from an abortion facility in New Mexico, where Planned Parenthood staff can easily refer women for abortions that are illegal in Texas. “[Planned Parenthood’s] history in El Paso tells a troubling story,” said...
