<p>As revenge for @elonmusk suspending violent extremist accounts on Twitter, #Antifa in Portland are organizing arson attacks on @Tesla locations tonight.</p>

After the draft leak of the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, violence, threats, and attacks against the pro-life movement skyrocketed. Yet this went largely unnoticed, while the abortion industry continued to claim that pro-life advocates are the real danger. Now, a new study is setting the record straight. According to the study from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), there were 135 attacks against pro-life groups between May and September of 2022. During that same four-month period, there were just six attacks against abortion groups or supporters. “The bottom line is that after the Dobbs...

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes reportedly said he wanted to hang U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “from the lamppost” in a recording obtained by the FBI and played during his trial this week. In the Jan. 10, 2021, audio recording played by the FBI Wednesday in the trial against the far-right militia leader, Rhodes told members of his group that his “only regret is they should have brought rifles” to the riot on the Capitol four days earlier. “We should have brought rifles. We could have fixed it right then and there. I’d hang F–— Pelosi from the lamppost,”...

A vandal threw a wrench through a door window at the cardinal’s residence behind St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Friday afternoon, police said.

The teenage gunman who killed a teacher and a 15-year-old pupil at his old St. Louis high school left a note calling his lonely life a “perfect storm for a mass shooter” — and was armed with enough ammo to kill hundreds. Orlando Harris, 19, left a manifesto-like note in his car before storming Central Visual and Performing Arts High School with an AR-15-style rifle and at least 600 rounds of ammo Monday, killing two and injuring seven others, police said Tuesday. “He wrote, ‘I don’t have any friends. I don’t have any family. I’ve never had a girlfriend. I’ve...

The full story of how far it has fallen. We know that the FBI was all in on the Russian Collusion hoax, that it faked a kidnapping plot against far-Left Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and that it raided Donald Trump’s home in yet another transparently political attempt to frame the former president for a crime and render it impossible for him to run for president again in 2024. A majority of Americans now believe that the astoundingly corrupt Merrick Garland has turned the FBI into “Biden’s Gestapo.” And it’s true: the FBI is all of that and more. But the...

It’s unclear whether the FBI has arrested a single person following at least 150 attacks, threats and other incidents against pro-life advocacy groups, crisis pregnancy centers and churches following the May 2 leak of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation. There have been at least 73 attacks on pregnancy centers and pro-life offices, along with at least 83 attacks on Catholic churches, since the court’s decision was leaked to the public, according to CatholicVote, a Catholic political advocacy group. The FBI says it is investigating these incidents, some of...

Denver, Colo., Sep 25, 2022 / 22:50 pm A suspect was quickly arrested in the vandalism of a Denver-area Catholic pro-life medical clinic. It is not clear whether the clinic was targeted for its pro-life Catholic mission, though the various graffiti included a reference to Satan and a stylized depiction of a devilish character. “We are sad to have to share that our clinic was just vandalized,” Bella Health + Wellness medical group said Sept. 25 in a 3 p.m. Facebook post including some photos of the vandalism. “If you could take a moment today to pray for our mission,...

A man in Michigan allegedly shot an 84-year-old woman as she was handing out pro-life literature about an abortion ballot proposal. In a press release on Saturday, Right to Life Michigan said that the woman was “shot in the back/shoulder while leaving a residence during a heated conversation, and that the man who shot her was not a part of her conversation.” The shooting allegedly occurred last Tuesday.

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Aug 31, 2022 / 16:05 pm A group of Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday condemning what they described as the Department of Justice’s inaction over the steady rise of anti-Catholic attacks and hate crimes. The letter, authored by Rep. Lisa McClain of Michigan, who is Catholic, and co-signed by 19 other GOP members, called out Garland’s failure to respond to the increase in vandalism and other attacks on Catholic churches and institutions since May 2020. “Millions of Christians are under assault for merely exercising their constitutional right to freely practice...

The office of Florida’s Seminole County Republican Party was vandalized with the message “eat -— fascists” on Sunday. The message, scrawled in graffiti, included a symbol of an enclosed “A” in what appeared to be a symbol for anarchy. The perpetrators also attempted to use a form of glue-like substance on the locks, State Committeeman Jesse Phillips said. “We basically had to break into our own office,” he added. The Seminole County GOP is considering adopting additional safety measures for the office in light of the incident. No potential suspects have been identified, and a police report has been filed.

A pregnancy resource center in Schenectady, New York became the latest target of more than 100 vandalism and arson attacks on pro-life organizations and churches since May. Joe Burkuras, a journalist with the Catholic News Agency, broke the news Wednesday about the vandalism at Alpha Pregnancy Care Center, near Albany. A photo of the crime shows the words “Jane’s Revenge,” “Fake clinic” and “Stop forced birth!” spray-painted in red across the outside of the pro-life organization’s office. Jane’s Revenge is a radical pro-abortion group that has been connected to fire bombings and vandalism at pro-life organizations across the country. Burkuras...

A gunman shot at a Denver-area Catholic church in separate early morning incidents Saturday and Monday. No one was hurt, but one estimate suggests the gunshots caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Parish staff stressed the need to pray for the perpetrator and emphasized that they are taking the utmost security precautions. “We are praying for the conversion of whoever did this,” Deacon Derrick Johnson of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church told CNA Aug 8. “If there’s any opportunity to speak to that person, we’d be happy to speak with them and have a dialogue.”...

Many pro-life Kansans and their churches have been targets of vandalism in recent weeks leading up to the state-wide vote Tuesday on the Value Them Both Amendment. The pro-life amendment would add language to the Kansas Constitution stating that there is no right to an abortion or taxpayer-funded abortion. The measure is critical after the Kansas Supreme Court found a so-called “right to abortion” in their state constitution in 2019. The ruling jeopardizes Kansas laws that protect women and babies. But abortion activists are fighting hard to defeat it, including through dark money groups and a rash of vandalism. Early...

An arrest has been made in connection with the arson and vandalism of both a Catholic church and a Methodist church in Bethesda, Maryland, that occurred on July 9 and July 10. Peter Piringer, a spokesman for the Montgomery County fire department, said that charges have been filed against a juvenile and will be handled in juvenile court, the Washington Post reported. Father Samuel Giese, pastor of St. Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic Church, told his parishioners the day after the vandalism at Sunday Mass, that he believed the attack was aimed at the church because of its pro-life views....

Please pray for the protection of our churches and the Eucharist! The pro-abortion group Ruth Sent Us threatened sacrilegious actions against the Eucharist in a May 7 tweet. The tweet came in response to another individual who said should would offer rosaries to prevent disruption or violence during the Masses over the weekend. Here’s the tweet below: ***TWEET ON LINK*** @trustanddare, Twitter The tweet reads, “I’m offering my Rosaries this weekend for the protection of the clergy and Mass-goers, the police/security, and for the safety and change-of-heart of the pro-abortion protestors. “ Ruth Sent Us then responded with a threat,...

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jul 12, 2022 / 14:56 pm The pastor of a Catholic church in Bethesda, Maryland, targeted by an arson attack over the weekend has clarified that the fire did not reach the parish’s tabernacle. A video posted on the YouTube channel of St. Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic Parish appeared to show the tabernacle engulfed in flames. However, Father Samuel Giese told CNA on Monday that the flames were only reflections in a window behind the tabernacle from pews in front of the altar. “There was no fire in the sanctuary,” Giese later told “EWTN News Nightly.”The...

The latest beneficiaries of the Biden regime’s two-tier legal system are the pro-abortion fanatics who have attacked over 50 pro-life centers since May 8, shortly after the draft Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked. While Biden’s handlers are doing everything they can to circumvent the Court’s decision and keep sacrifices to Moloch going everywhere, Old Joe’s desperately corrupt and politicized Justice Department has not managed to arrest a single person in connection with these attacks. What a surprise. On May 15, the Women’s March declared: “Our Summer of Rage is officially beginning. We’re prepared to rage for...

An Ohio pro-life organization has been attacked twice since the overturning of Roe v. Wade last month by the US Supreme Court as some heated pro-choice supporters have targeted many centers across the country. Executive director of the Right to Life of Northeast Ohio, Allie Frazer, told Fox News the center was targeted immediately following the overturning of Roe on June 24 and again on July 8. 'As pro-lifers, we know what our work might cost us something and that very well could be our physical safety,' Frazier said. 'I think that it's important in moments like this for the...
