Louisiana is poised to become the first state to reclassify two abortion-inducing drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, as controlled and dangerous substances, after a bill received final legislative passage on Thursday. The Republican governor is expected to sign it into law. The bill will not only defend unborn babies’ lives, but will also protect expectant mothers from coerced abortions, according to many of its supporters. The move comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is set to rule on efforts to restrict access to mifepristone, with the justices not appearing ready to limit the drug’s availability during recent oral arguments. Louisiana’s GOP-dominated…

Newly released IRS whistleblower records by the House Ways and Means Committee have revealed a screenshot of a 2017 WeChat message thread involving Hunter Biden, his uncle James Biden, and an individual labeled as “Dad.” The content of the messaging thread is redacted, but it shows “Dad” as the administrator, with the subject line “Hunt/Jim,” apparently referring to President Joe Biden’s son and brother.

The date of the message exchange was December 19, 2017, the year Joe Biden left the vice…
When SWAT officers raided a house in a quiet San Jose neighborhood last month, they uncovered what appeared to be a makeshift hardware store inside. Shelves were lined with boxes of brand-new tools, bathroom fixtures, and spools of industrial wiring – a cache of products worth about $150,000 that had been stolen from actual Home Depot stores. The discovery underscored the increasingly active role that major retailers are playing in combating organized retail crime rings. A recent CNN review of court records and interviews with over two dozen retail and law enforcement officials revealed that persistent problems with sophisticated criminal…
Ahead of former President Donald Trump’s visit to the South Bronx, “Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy spoke with local residents who expressed frustration with the state of the nation under President Biden’s leadership. As Campos-Duffy toured the neighborhood, residents described Trump as being for the “little man” and praised him for showing respect to the Bronx by visiting. “Senior citizens cannot walk down the street. Our children are being killed. When you go to a grocery store, you can’t even buy anything anymore,” said Rev. Ruben Diaz Sr., president of New York’s Hispanic Clergy Association. “I’m a Democrat.…
Pope Francis has officially recognized a miracle attributed to the intercession of Blessed Carlo Acutis, paving the way for the teenager to become a saint. Today, the Pope signed a decree confirming the miracle, which brings Acutis one step closer to canonization. Acutis, who died of leukemia in 2006 at just 15 years old, has been hailed as “the patron saint of the internet” due to his profound devotion to the Eucharist and his creation of a website documenting Eucharistic miracles. Despite his young age, Acutis inspired many with his piety, love for Jesus, and acts of kindness and generosity.…
In a defiant celebration after being cleared of over 80 charges related to keeping his gym open during COVID-19 restrictions, a New Jersey gym owner directed an explicit insult at the state’s governor. Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, had racked up summonses alongside business partner Frank Trumbetti for refusing to close despite Governor Phil Murphy’s mandate in May 2020 that non-essential businesses shut down. The confrontations with police over their continued operations led to arrests of some patrons leaving the gym. Smith and Trumbetti were ultimately ordered to pay around $165,000 in fines for violating the public…

A growing movement to redraw state borders is gaining momentum in liberal Oregon, where thirteen counties have now voted in favor of measures to start negotiations to secede from the state and join conservative Idaho. The latest county to approve the “Greater Idaho Measure” was Crook County, following a vote on Tuesday. The ambitious proposal seeks to “move the Oregon border 200 miles to the west,” effectively transferring 14 counties and several partial counties from Oregon to Idaho’s jurisdiction. Organizers behind the Greater Idaho movement argue that east Oregonians are being alienated by the state’s leftist policies, which they blame…

A legal battle has erupted between a Catholic service organization and the Biden administration over alleged religious discrimination after the group was barred from holding its longstanding Memorial Day mass at a national cemetery. The Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal order, has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against the National Park Service in Petersburg, Virginia. At the center of the dispute is the denial of a permit for the Knights to conduct their annual Memorial Day religious service at the Poplar Grove National Cemetery – an event they had held for the past six decades. This…
