The Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania abortion business is temporarily closing three abortion centers in the Pittsburgh area this month.

The closures affect the downtown Pittsburgh location, set to close January 23; the Greensburg abortion clinic, closing on Saturday; and the Bridgeville facility, which shuttered in December. The Johnstown office will remain the only fully operational site among the pro-abortion organization’s four abortion centers.

The ICE officer who fatally shot a woman during a tense confrontation in Minneapolis this week was no stranger to violent encounters on the job, having survived a harrowing incident last summer in which he was dragged down a Minnesota roadway by a fleeing suspect, according to court records and federal officials. According to the New York Post, the officer, whose name has not been released, opened fire Wednesday after a woman drove her vehicle toward him during a chaotic street altercation. The shooting reignited scrutiny of the dangers faced by federal immigration agents — and brought renewed attention to…
A GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the wife and son of Renee Nicole Good, the woman who was fatally shot while trying to mow down an ICE agent, has raised nearly $600,000 in less than a day. Good was shot on Wednesday during an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis, in which she was using her vehicle to impede the operation throughout the day. The situation turned deadly when she began to accelerate her vehicle into an officer, who fired in what appears to be a clear-cut case of self-defense. The fundraiser, organized by Mattie Weiss, is titled “Support for Renee…
As you review this latest data on trade, remember any drop in trade deficits has two big picture functions: First, lower trade deficits generally mean the accompanying GDP release will be stronger than anticipated because imported products are a deduction from the valuation of all goods and services created in the U.S. economy. Lower imports mean less is deducted. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, a drop in the trade deficit created by diminished imports means more wealth remains inside the USA. We are not spending, sending money overseas, to import foreign goods at the same rate, and that money stays…

Whatever you believe about what took place this week in Venezuela, for many of us, it is obvious and clear that this is about regime change and stealing another country’s resources and wealth while promising to “run the country” and to “take care of the Venezuelan people”.

According to the current president of Venezuela, the attack on Maduro and his capture, along with numerous people being killed, was that it had…
A new peer-reviewed study found the majority of women who’ve had an abortion experience just as much, if not more, grief as women who experience a natural loss. The study surveyed almost 2,000 American women aged 41 to 45 years regarding grief disorder in both induced abortions (grouped by decision types: wanted, inconsistent, unwanted, and coerced) and natural losses. The survey revealed that high levels of grief across all studied groups and that substantial portions reported symptoms of prolonged grief disorder (PGD), a clinical diagnosis. Key points: Among women who had abortions, 70% reported them as inconsistent, unwanted, or coerced and showed significantly higher average grief scores compared to…
