Pregnancy Help News) – It just takes one. One commercial could make a difference with Issue 1 in Ohio. An ad shedding light on the ugly truths in late term abortion in Ohio is gaining steam as it airs through Election Day. The organization Created Equal first aired the ad featuring abortion survivor, speaker, and author Claire Culwell during the September 27 GOP debates in the state. It continued to air in selected markets until early voting on October 11. Ohio voters could decide on November 7 to make the red state one of the most pro-abortion states in the...

The Republican National Committee has confirmed the roster for the second primary debate: North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, tech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy, and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott. Former President Donald Trump will not attend, but will instead address striking auto workers in Michigan.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is still planning on recommending people receive a COVID-19 shot on an annual basis, the agency’s director says. “We are likely to see this as a recommendation for an annual COVID shot, just like we have an annual flu shot,” Dr. Mandy Cohen, the director, said in a podcast episode released on Aug. 9. “And I think that will give more folks clarity about should they get one or not, because the answer is like, ‘Well, did you get one this year? If not, go get the new COVID shot.'” She...

If former president Donald Trump’s case ever makes it to court, federal prosecutors will use his own words against him — spoken on national TV to Fox News host Bret Baier on Monday. I’m not a lawyer. I don’t even play one on internet video. So when it comes to stories like this one, there are a few people I turn to for sharp analysis and good advice. On the surface at least, what Trump said could cause him trouble in court. When Baier asked, “Why not just hand [the documents] over then?” Trump replied, “Because I had boxes —...

Michael Bekesha, the ‘Clinton sock drawer’ lawyer, misses the distinction between agency records and presidential records. I’ve already extensively addressed why the Presidential Records Act (PRA) is not a viable defense against charges that President Trump unlawfully and willfully retained national-defense information under Section 793(e) of the federal criminal code (which, in hope of avoiding Senator Lindsey Graham’s conniptions, I’ll refrain from calling the Espionage Act). So I’ll state the main point as succinctly as I can: Agency records are not presidential records. Trump’s case is about agency records regarding the national defense — mainly, classified intelligence reporting generated by...

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera As I have said consistently, President Biden should stop this tortured nonsense immediately. In exchange for former President Trump dropping out of the race for the White House, Biden should pardon him for any and all federal allegations. 11:35 AM · Jun 9, 2023

Steven Spainhouer, one of the first people on scene at the mass shooting in Allen, Texas, has called for M4s and AR-15s to be removed from the streets despite admitting he is a 'gun lover.' The former police and army officer said that it is long pastime automatic weapons were removed from everyday public life, on account of the rising number of mass shootings. 'I'm a gun lover, I have guns. But these M4s, AR-15s, they've got to get off the streets or this is going to keep happening, and we've got to stop that at some point,' he continued.

Gun control Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) tweeted Sunday that AR-15 rifles are not necessary for hunting or self-defense and suggested mass shooters would be those “most affected” by an “assault weapons” ban. He described the AR-15 as “the mass shooter’s best friend,” omitting any mention that the shooting at an Atlanta hospital earlier in the week was carried out with a handgun.

President Biden took aim at Republicans for not taking action in the wake of the latest Texas mass shooting that left nine people dead and again called on Congress to pass an assault weapons ban. “Too many families have empty chairs at their dinner tables. Republican Members of Congress cannot continue to meet this epidemic with a shrug. Tweeted thoughts and prayers are not enough,” Biden said in a statement Sunday.

Over the last decade, plagued by a near-constant stream of mass shootings, a heated debate over gun safety has gripped the United States. While lawmakers around the country argue about ways to better regulate guns, or even if they should regulate them at all, a Colorado startup has turned to technology to help solve the problem. Biofire, which started as a high school science project in 2012, says it has now invented the first working biometric smart gun. It requires facial recognition and fingerprint verification to unlock and shoot. The company is now accepting pre-orders.

Tucker, when asked by The Daily Mail what his career plans are now that he’s been fired from Fox News, joked around and said that retirement was going well for him and his plans are “appetizers plus entree” at dinner with his wife. But Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz took to Twitter Friday morning to suggest that Tucker has far, far more in mind for his future. Rep. Gaetz said, in a tweet that racked up 200k views in an hour, “OMG wait till everyone sees what @TuckerCarlson has planned…” Commenting on Rep. Gaetz’s post and guessing at what is going...

The ultimate control over America’s health care and its national sovereignty will be put up for a vote next week at a meeting of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) governing legislative body, the World Health Assembly (WHA). On May 22-28, 2022, the 75th World Health Assembly will convene at the United Nations (U.N.) headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, with delegates from 194 nations, to vote on the Biden administration’s amendments that will hand over national sovereignty and authority to the WHO. On March 31, 2020, the U.S. contribution to the WHO was $115.8 million, followed by China at approximately one-half that...

Singers Sheryl Crow and Amy Grant teamed up to lobby Tennessee lawmakers for more gun control on Tuesday. NewsChannel5 reported Crow saying, “We’re just here to give voice what a lot of, not only artists, musical artists, but also moms, dads, [want].” She added, “We’re Nashvillians, we’re also moms.” Grant said, “Nashville is in a unique position to do this work.” Rolling Stone reported that Crow and Grant are joined by Kacey Musgraves and Jason Isbell. The four artists are part of a new gun control group called Voices for a Safer Tennessee.

If you aren’t concerned by what has been happening around the globe the past few days, it is probably because you just aren’t paying attention. Extreme violence has brought the Middle East to the brink of war, China has gotten very aggressive with Taiwan, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov just stated that the U.S. and Russia have now reached a “hot phase” of the conflict in Ukraine. What I am going to share with you in this article is so important, because we have reached a point where literally three different major wars could erupt at any moment. Just...

Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson announces on ABC news that he will be running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.Speaking in the customary tones of an evangelical minister trained in the dark arts of using a righteous serpent tongue, Mr. Hutchinson indicates that he carries a higher moral authority to sit in judgement of what the professional Republican Party truly needs. The professional Republican Party likely anticipates dozens of votes for Hutchinson. WATCH:He’s not running for President; he’s running to be the silver-haired serpent tongue of the professional Republican apparatus. Creepy vibes are all over this guy…[Transcript Below]JONATHAN KARL, CNN...

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) announced Sunday that he is running for president in 2024. The former Republican governor, and frequent critic of former President Donald Trump, took aim at the GOP front-runner in his announcement, both indirectly and directly. "I have made a decision, and my decision is that I'm going to run for president of the United States," Hutchinson, 72, said in an interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC’s This Week, adding that he will make his formal announcement later in the month. “I am going to be running. And the reason, as I’ve traveled the country...

White House Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Monday that President Biden wants Congress to pass more gun control after an attacker shot and killed three students at the Nashville-area Covenant School. Breitbart News noted that Nashville police indicated the attacker was a female armed with multiple firearms. uring her Monday press conference, Pierre referenced the gun control Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) worked with Democrats to secure in the summer of 2022, but stressed that Biden wants Congress to act to pass even more gun control.

TOPLINE Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has asked former President Donald Trump to testify before a grand jury investigating a hush money payment to a porn star in the final stretch of the 2016 presidential campaign, according to the New York Times, in a strong signal that an indictment against the ex-president is near. KEY FACTS It’s not clear if Trump will accept the offer, though it’s rare for prospective defendants to testify, according to the Times report, which cited four unnamed sources “with knowledge of the matter.” The case centers around a $130,000 payment then-Trump fixer Michael Cohen...
