Back in 1969, very close to the Year Zero of the modern "feminist" movement, an activist named Carol Hanisch penned an essay titled, "The Personal is Political," whose neo-communist, collectivist slogan was later weaponized by the former Lady Macbeth of Little Rock, now Dowager Empress of Chappaqua, Hillary Clinton. Although unfocused, unreadable, poorly argued, and couched (of course) in the language of "therapy," it served as the opening salvo of the anti-family, anti-"patriarchy" Left against postwar American society. Hanisch writes:The paper, “The Personal Is Political,” was originally published in Notes from the Second Year: Women’s Liberation in 1970 and was...

Governor Janet Mills (D-ME) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump is not the law and his administration’s actions were “not rational” while discussing their transgender athletes dispute. Mills said, “Very unexpectedly the president called on me to answer a question that was unrelated to the topic at hand. I’ve been to the White House and talked to President Trump before, President Biden, President Obama, several presidents, always been a good conversation, exchange of ideas. This was different, very different, and when he said, ‘I am the law,’ basically, ‘we are the law,’ my jaw dropped, and...

President Trump on Saturday demanded a “full-throated” apology from Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) before his administration can settle its dispute with the state for defying his executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. The University of Maine System (UMS) backed down earlier this week and promised to follow the executive order on transgender competition, but Trump suggested the dispute over federal funding won’t be resolved until Mills’ mea culpa. “While the State of Maine has apologized for their Governor’s strong, but totally incorrect, statement about men playing in women’s sports while at the White House House...

On January 22, 2025, Live Action founder and president Lila Rose took part in a Georgetown University abortion debate with author and attorney Dr. Mary Anne Franks. The two discussed whether induced abortion — the direct and intentional killing of a preborn child — should be legal. Moderators for the debate were Elizabeth Oliver, President of Georgetown Right to Life (Class of 2026) and Max Wolff-Merovick (Class of 2028). In her opening statement, Rose said, “The question we are addressing tonight is this: ‘Should abortion be legal?’ Or, to put it more simply, ‘Should murder be legal?’” “The word ‘abortion’...

They have a lot in common. Following her brutal election loss, former Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly spoke with Hillary Clinton on multiple occasions as she mulls her future in the wake of President Trump’s return to the White House. Not much is known about the details of those discussions, but Harris had also consulted family members and friends while trying to figure out her future, New York Magazine reported. Clinton, 77, was the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for president, and she was also the first female to notch a popular vote victory. Harris, 60, was the...
