NEW YORK -- Jezebel, the sharp-edged feminist website that found an impassioned and devoted following at the height of the blogosphere era but ended up struggling with its business model, is shutting down after 16 years, its parent company announced Thursday. It is the latest gender-focused media site to fold as the media industry struggles with plummeting digital advertising that has also cut into the profitability of major tech companies from Google to Facebook. Bitch Media, which had a print magazine, website and podcast, closed last year after 25 years, citing sustainability. The Washington Post folded The Lily, its freestanding...

Jezebel, a feminist US news site, was shut down by its owners on Thursday, with 23 people laid off and no plans for the outlet to resume publication. G/O Media, which owns Jezebel and other sites including Gizmodo and the Onion, announced the closure in a memo to staff, which was obtained by the Guardian. “Unfortunately, our business model and the audiences we serve across our network did not align with Jezebel’s,” Jim Spanfeller, the chief executive of G/O Media, wrote in the memo, which was sent to staff on Thursday morning. “And when that became clear, we undertook an...

Planned Parenthood facilities in Alabama and Georgia are not aborting unborn babies right now because they cannot find an abortionist willing to do it. The pro-abortion blog Jezebel reported the news this week as abortions become increasingly difficult to obtain in the south. If the situation continues, it’s likely that thousands of unborn babies will be spared from abortion. The abortion chain’s Planned Parenthood Southeast affiliate runs two abortion facilities in Alabama and three in Georgia. These facilities aborted 5,893 unborn babies last year, according to its annual report.

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and...

South Carolina Republican threatens to shut down Senate if denied access to border facilities ----- A fuming Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., railed against President Joe Biden and his administration's role in the crisis at the southern border Tuesday, suggesting the White House is gaslighting the public into believing the U.S.-Mexico frontier is secure. Graham joined "Hannity" to praise Fox News contributor Sara Carter's exclusive report about conditions in migrant holding facilities. "If this is proven to be true and I have no doubt it is," Graham said, "all I can say -- let me tell you this, [migrant holding] POD...

A 2017 tweet from Vice President Kamala Harris has resurfaced mentioning Dr. Seuss by name and quoting him, four years before her own administration would strip his name from Read Across America Day. Harris was a senator when she sent out the tweet, dated March 2, 2017, in which she wished the famed children’s book author a happy birthday. “Happy birthday, #DrSeuss! ‘The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go,’” the California senator wrote at the time.

In the aftermath of the deadly siege on Capitol Hill nearly two weeks ago, vice-president-elect Kamala Harris took some time to call her aunt and uncle in Canada to let them know she was safe. "These days her life is so busy, they are very brief conversations, but she wanted to show me everything was OK," said Chinni Subash, the younger sister of Harris's late mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, on Rosemary Barton Live. The vice-president-elect was in Washington, D.C., when a mob of pro-Donald Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 as Congress voted on president-elect Joe Biden's...

Vice President Mike Pence has called his soon-to-be successor Kamala Harris to offer his congratulations, according to two people familiar with the conversation. It’s the first known contact between the elected members of the outgoing and incoming administrations. President Donald Trump has not reached out to President-elect Joe Biden and has repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of Biden’s win. But Pence has become an unexpected defender of Biden’s. The vice president resisted pressure from Trump to object to the Democrat’s election win while presiding over Congress’ certification of the Electoral Vote count last week. Pence will also attend Biden’s Jan. 20...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made a terrible mistake Tuesday night when he released word that he was in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump. This mistake goes well beyond a simple political miscalculation. It is the physical manifestation of Washington Republican hubris, wrapped in a fog of frightened groupthink.Announced the eve of the House impeachment vote in the pages of The New York Times, McConnell’s plan reportedly rested on the belief that impeaching the outgoing president “will make it easier to purge Mr. Trump from the party.” Published just after the No. 3 House Republican, Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney,...

Carrie Symonds has risen to hold ‘real power in No 10’ while her Prime Minister fiancé Boris Johnson has become ‘dishevelled and lacking in any signals of dignity or authority’. Analysis of pictures and videos of the couple have shown a switch of authority between the pair, according to body language and relationship experts. One told MailOnline today 'It’s as if the power balance in their relationship has reversed, which may well be spilling into Boris’s professional decision making as well'. The stunning role switch was laid bare by a influence struggle in the heart of Downing Street last night...

Last year at this time, President Donald Trump was battling the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry against him. If that wasn't enough, media outlets reported "thousands" of witches were trying to cast a "binding spell" on him on Halloween. Now those practitioners of witchcraft are at it again, celebrating the rare confluence of two "powerful" moon events in one month, all in an effort to get Joe Biden elected and President Trump removed from office.

Pelosi’s latest impeachment threat is proof she would rather use her post as speaker of the House to weaponize the chamber than as a means of accomplishing anything of substance for the country. In response to the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Pelosi threatened to impeach President Trump..... When pressed on what grounds she has to move forward, the speaker was shockingly coy,“we have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now.” As always, Pelosi's interests are 'diabolical'. Understanding that the House has no role in appointing or confirming Supreme Court nominees, Pelosi is looking...

A celebrity astrologer has revealed how signs of the zodiac will react to the next few months of Mars Retrograde, which is known for 'disrupting' energy levels.

Allies of the president are steaming Monday night after an article in the left-leaning Jezebel magazine called for White House adviser Stephen Miller to contract and die from coronavirus. Jezebel writer Molly Osberg wrote in a column Friday evening entitled "I Will Personally Be Thrilled If Stephen Miller Dies of Covid-19," that she would he happy should Miller die from the disease behind the global pandemic, while going on to accuse Miller of inserting "white nationalist talking points" into President Trump's speeches. "[W]hile I am generally loathe to wish physical harm on those I disagree with, and while I do...

With courtiers already alarmed at how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to cash in on their royal connections, this will have them reaching for the smelling salts. I hear that Meghan plans to become more 'politically engaged' now that she and Prince Harry have quit official duties. 'The Duchess is said to be frustrated that she was forced to stay out of politics after getting engaged to Harry,' a royal source tells me. 'She has strong political opinions and will now take advantage of the greater freedom she has to express them publicly.' The source claims that Meghan...

If this story is not “Jezebelic,” then nothing is. As reported by the Catholic News Agency, “A radical feminist group has taken credit for an ongoing series of attacks on pro-life advocates in Germany, including the vandalism of two churches and the burning of a pro-life journalist's car.” This is the spirit of Jezebel at work, the spirit of radical feminism, the spirit of anti-Christ, the baby-killing spirit.And it is not a reasonable spirit, one that seeks to change hearts by dialogue and discussion. Instead, it is the spirit of intimidation, the spirit of fear, the spirit that seeks to...

(CNSNews.com) – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton honored Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) at his funeral in Baltimore, Md., Friday by saying that “he stood up against corrupt leadership of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.” Clinton began her speech saying it was “no coincidence” that Cummings “shared a name with an Old Testament prophet whose name meant in Hebrew, ‘the Lord is my God,’ and who used the power and the wisdom that God gave him to uphold the moral law that all people are subject to and because of all people are equal.”

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., is prepared to do whatever it takes to pass a Green New Deal, vowing to take executive action or even push to get rid of the Senate filibuster in order to get it done. During a CNN town hall Wednesday devoted to climate change and featuring Democratic presidential candidates, an audience member asked Harris how she would work with Republicans to advance her goals related to the environment. Harris stated that she would try to reach across the aisle, but then discussed the measures she would take if this avenue failed. “If they fail to act,...
