Women smile and cheer as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signs a law to allow the murder of babies AFTER they are born alive!

Eric Hafner, 35, is running to strip Alaska’s lone House seat away from Republican incumbent Rep. Nicholas Begich. But can he win? After all, Hafner is the only Democrat on the ticket, and midterms historically punish the president’s party. There’s just one problem: Eric Hafner is nearly 3,000 miles away from Juneau, serving out a 20-year prison sentence in Otisville, New York. According to U.S. Attorney Philip Sellinger, Hafner repeatedly threatened elected representatives, judges, law enforcement officers, and private citizens. “He further victimized these public officials, private citizens, and the public generally by calling in numerous false bomb threats to…
Thursday’s PBS News Hour continued to use space tech entrepreneur, “X” owner, and Donald Trump fan Elon Musk into a convenient punching bag, continuing to spread smears of Musk (“increasingly unhinged” in 2023, drug use in 2025) that date back to his emergence within the second Trump Administration, especially with the attempt to slice the federal budget through the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE).Reporter William Brangham hosted liberal documentary director Alex Gibney, who just came out with a four-hour long hit piece titled “Musk.” Gibney unloaded more slime over Musk’s head while giving him the barest of petulant credit for…

Hakeem Jeffries spikes the football at a news conference following the Virginia redistricting referendum. Credit: Fox news screenshot One of the most underreported aspects of the 2026 midterms is that the Democrat Party is virtually broke, while Republicans are flush with cash. The media doesn’t want people to know this because they don’t want to do anything that might hurt the Democrats’ chances of winning. If you believe the media and the pollsters, you probably think the Democrats are on their way to a blue wave election, but the truth is that they are now begging their donors for cash…

Anyone who’s seen the 1986 musical comedy, Little Shop of Horrors, is familiar with Audrey II. Audrey II looks like a towering, blood-eating Venus flytrap plant, even mimicking the jaw-like, snapping pod of real carnivorous plants. But while Venus flytraps consume insects, Audrey II feeds on humans. Thankfully, people-eating plants are fictional, says Kenny Coogan, the owner of Carnivorous Plants by Kenny Coogan, a well-known nursery in North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad area. On the other hand, plants that trap and digest bugs and, on occasion, small rodents are not only real, but actually quite diverse. Popular Science turned to Coogan…

That conviction is why the pro-life movement exists and why our disagreements over how to protect that life matter so deeply. But when those disagreements become accusations that our own allies do not care about children or want to punish women, we risk weakening the very movement those children need.The pro-life movement is having an important and increasingly public debate about how the law should treat women who have abortions.On one side…

Stanford University is known for many things, but churning out converts to Catholicism isn’t one of them. Wealthy railroad titan Amasa Leland Stanford founded the school in 1885 as a memorial to his son, Leland Stanford Jr., who died of typhoid at age 15. In 1891, Stanford officially opened its doors as a non-denominational institution and ultimately made its name as a top-notch research school. It is not known for a religious studies program, nor does it attract students who feel called to go into ministry. In a nutshell, Stanford carries a level of prestige but has no particular religious…

NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion Tony Dungy recently came out and stated that part of the reason he was fired by NBC is because of his outspokenness about the Christian faith that he holds near and dear to his heart. In a preview for an interview with sports journalist and former ESPN anchor Sage Steele, Dungy explained that he “kinda knew” the network wouldn’t bring him back for another season as an analyst on “Sunday Night Football” due in part to his Christian values. “There were things that they didn’t want me to talk about,” Dungy went…

Television producer Chuck Lorre used one of his own CBS programs to strike back after the Trump White House leveled a brutal response to his profanity-laced attack on the president. The 73-year-old sitcom creator turned the closing credits of “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” into a vehicle for his latest political message. His sarcastic statement followed an awards-show speech in which he insulted President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and members of the administration. The White House answered by suggesting Lorre seek psychiatric help for “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The dispute began at Project Angel Food’s Angel Awards in Los…

Everyday life in your typical major American blue city appears to be only getting worse, despite an orchestrated dominant media narrative declaring otherwise. An ongoing crime wave that can be directly attributed to massive unchecked immigration and deliberate “progressive” efforts to reduce police staffing and reduce prison sentences in the name of “criminal justice reform” is still very much a daily feature of life in Democrat-controlled urban locales.“More than half of residents feel unsafe in downtown Boston and are asking for the city to deploy more police to the area on a regular basis to counteract crime, according to a…

We are at war. I do not mean the usual bickering over real estate in the Middle East or the by-now predictable battle over oil and the Strait of Hormuz. That war is easy enough to spot. No, this war is insidious and malignant, and it touches on every one of us. It is quite simply, us versus them. If we want to unite the disparate forces of humanity, to end the gender wars, to have Christians, Jews, and Muslims put down their arms, and to have the Hindus and Pakistanis join in tearful embrace, we must first acknowledge the…
It would have been hard to improve the backdrop for Marco Rubio’s foreign policy address on October 7 in Athens, Greece. Standing on the Pnyx with the ruins of the Parthenon rising up behind him, the Secretary of State delivered a speech that won almost universal plaudits. Let me toss my vote in with the overwhelming majority and affirm that Rubio’s speech was simply splendid: robust, heartfelt, honest, masculine, and true. Is it still permissible to praise such a public performance for being “masculine”? It was part of Rubio’s accomplishment to render that question moot. His speech was statesmanlike but…
