NY AG Letitia James plans to sue pregnancy centers; Lawfare plan of attack against crisis pregnancy centers ...more
NY AG Letitia James plans to sue pregnancy centers over 'abortion pill reversal'“On April 22, 2024, New York [State] Attorney General Letitia James began a carbon-copy notice of litigation against Christian pro-life pregnancy centers. Ten pro-life pregnancy centers have been served so far for alleged ‘misleading statements or omissions in the advertising of the Abortion Pill Reversal (‘APR’) protocol,'” CompassCare CEO Rev. Jim Harden, wrote in a press release sent to Live Action News. Image
A historic New York state pregnancy center is speaking out against Attorney General Letitia James’ “war path” against pro-life pregnancy centers in the state.
On April 22, 2024, New York Attorney General Letitia James began a carbon-copy notice of litigation against Christian pro-life pregnancy centers. Ten pro-life pregnancy centers have been served so far for alleged “misleading statements or omissions in the advertising of the Abortion Pill Reversal (“APR”) protocol.” Similar allegations were filed against pro-life groups by abortion advocate and Attorney General Rob Bonta of California in the Fall of 2023. The powerhouse public interest law firm, Thomas More Society based in Chicago, is representing pro-life defendants in both cases, pro bono. The pregnancy centers were given five days to respond before the massive legal hammer of the New York Attorney General’s office drops.
Now they're coming after crisis pregnancy centers with an organized lawfare plan of attack.
The political group that calls itself the "Campaign for Accountability" is now attempting to dragoon several state attorneys general to kill the organizations that are saving babies' lives.
CfA is now actively calling on some top state lawyers to investigate crisis pregnancy centers to see if, you know, they can find some dirt on them. Sound familiar, Trump watchers?

Communist Defectors Warn About Four Stages Of Subversion — And America Is On The Last OneForty years ago, a KGB defector, Yuri Bezmenov, revealed the systematic plan Soviet communists used to take down countries and establish a communist-type society and regime. More recently, a Chinese defector immigrant, Xi Van Fleet, has been on a crusade to warn Americans about the parallels between what is happening in America today and what Mao did in the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
The systematic plan Bezmenov revealed involves four fluid stages of communist subversion: 1) demoralization, 2) disorientation, 3) crisis, and 4) normalization. In Mao’s America, Xi Van Fleet explains how Mao’s destruction of the “Four Olds” (old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits) is being replicated by today’s leftist cancel culture, which will end what is left of freedom in America if not stopped.
These new Nazis are clearly the future of the Democratic Party. It is the kind of leadership the present party power-brokers want. Worse, the Democratic Party rank and file want such leadership as well. Only two days ago in a Democratic Party primary in Pennsylvania, congresswoman Summer Lee, a proud member of the radical, Marxist, pro-Hamas “squad”, defeated a challenge from more moderate local Democrat. Moreover, Lee won handily, with about 60% of the vote.
Will this be enough to get Americans to vote against this increasingly bigoted, anti-Semitic, and Marxist Democratic Party? Not likely. The Democrats are unified in favor of this new Nazi movement, while many Republican voters seem glad to sit on their hands like petulant toddlers and not vote, because the Republican Party doesn’t give them what the want, every time.
I must emphasize that I am not talking about the presidential election. These same non-voters — whom I like to call this generation’s version of “the good Germans” in the 1930s — won’t vote in local elections either, thus giving power to the Democrats from the top to the bottom.
This is how Hitler gained power. And it is how the next Hitler, likely hidden among the leaders of those pro-Hamas protests, will gain power in the coming decade. And when that happens, say good-by to the Constitution, to the Bill of Rights, and say hello to a new Holocaust.

Woman Who Survived Hamas Attack Is Facing Death Threats and DoxxingShe continued, explaining that most of the messages “were just hate speech saying ‘we’re gonna kill you.’ They were sending me photos of guns, knives, random street corners……saying ‘we’re near your house. We’re coming for you.’”
Assistant DA Diana Teran is facing 11 felony charges stemming from accusations she illegally accessed and used confidential personnel data of law enforcement officials.
Gun-Controlled California County Becomes 'Wild, Wild West'How can Alameda County be "full of guns", given all of California's extensive gun control laws like a ten-day waiting period, "universal" background checks on firearms and ammunition, one-gun-a-month, and bans on both so-called assault weapons and many models of semi-automatic handguns?
Oh, that's right. Criminals don't care about those laws any more than they care about the laws against aggravated assault or homicide. And why would they, given that the vast majority of time someone gets shot in Alameda County, the perpetrator gets away with the crime.
This teaching came despite years of test scores demonstrating that students didn’t understand the basic facts underlying our political system. Students post dismal scores on civics tests. Policymakers on both sides of the aisle have lamented the problem for decades, but educators on the Left chose to reduce the emphasis on content and increase the attention paid to actions.
The scandals haunting Pope Francis; Women Forced to Compete Against Men? Just Say No! ...more
The scandals haunting Pope Francis...Scheming cardinals are sharpening their knivesThe cardinals are already meeting to discuss who should be the next pope. Some of the liberal ones, who feel safe because they’re in favour with the ailing Pope Francis, can be seen comparing notes in a bar near the gates of the Vatican. The conservative cardinals are more nervous: they gather at suppers in each other’s apartments or — if they can trust the fawning waiters not to betray them — in a favourite restaurant.

'Anti-White' Scottish First Minister Quits After Disastrous 'Hate Crime Law'Beyond his insistence on going against the growing public opposition in Scotland to more migrants being allowed into the country, Yousaf's biggest mistake was the passage of his now wildly unpopular "Hate Crime Act." The law which recently went into effect criminalized many forms of speech including criticism or skepticism of gender fluid theory and trans identity. Misgendering and misuse of a trans person pronouns could now land a Scottish citizen in jail.
In response, the Scottish public flooded law enforcement agencies with fake calls accusing various trans activists and even political leaders of various hate crimes. Police were so overwhelmed by the paperwork that any effort to enforce the law has ground to a halt. Image
Title IX is about biology, not identification, preferences, or what the school counselor suggests. Transgender athletes, specifically biologic men competing against biologic women, violates Title IX by discriminating on the basis of sex.
Perhaps the DOJ, when not prosecuting Donald Trump and his supporters, should take a look at this. Fat chance of that.
In the meantime, female athletes should “just say no” and refuse to compete on an uneven playing field. Congratulation to 5 West Virginia middle school girls for putting their foot (and shot) down. Perhaps high school, college, and professional women could do the same and start putting an end to this new “war on women”.
Trans student who beat 7th grader with Stanley Cup had ‘hit list’It’s unclear what motivated the attacker. Parents claim that the transgender-identifying student had a “hit list” of students he planned to target. The “hit list” was reportedly brought to the attention of school administrators, who reportedly did nothing in response.
While protesters at Columbia University and Yale University celebrate Hamas and its "resistance" (a euphemism for violence and terrorism), Arabs have been ridiculing the "pro-Palestinian" demonstrators on American college campuses. For these Arabs, including some Palestinians, there is nothing "pro-Palestinian" about supporting the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group, whose members slaughtered 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped more than 240 others on October 7, 2023.
Harvard Protesters Raise Palestinian Flags On University Building, In Spot Reserved For American FlagApproximately one hour after three keffiyeh-clad individuals raised the flags, the Ivy League university's staff removed them despite jeering from protesters who were chanting "Shame!" and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." According to Harvard University spokesman Jonathan L. Swain, raising flags is "a violation of University policy and the individuals involved will be subjected to disciplinary action."
Hart, who uses “she/they” pronouns, is a self-described “a black queer femme activist, writer, highly acclaimed speaker and award-winning sexuality educator with a Master’s of Education in Human Sexuality from Widener University.”
WaPo Op-Ed: Punish Columbia Professors, Not Students Protesters, For The Intellectual Degeneration On CampusI would turn on those professors out of a belief that, at Columbia, appalling chants and occasional hints of violence from students on a tear are not ultimately the problem. Intellectual degeneration is the problem. Otherwise, the existential attacks on Jews, euphemistically advocated, would not be under discussion. I would turn in anger on the professors out of a belief, in short, that a university ought to be a place of resistance to the worst of ideas, and not a place of acquiescence.
That was my own lesson from 1968, hammered into me by thoughtful professors who remembered the 1930s, which I offer back to the Columbia administrators and the more levelheaded professors in 2024 exactly as I would if I myself were on the faculty right now, and I had run into bright and beloved students on the redbrick walks who had gone out of their minds, as students sometimes do.

Japan's Most Senior Oncologist, Prof. Fukushima Condemns mRNA Vaccines as 'Evil Practices of Science'Furthermore, Prof Fukushima highlights that "specific types of cancer, in relation to the vaccination, seem to be experiencing excess mortality." He specifically names cancers such as "breast cancer, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer," along with "esophageal and lung cancer," and notably, "prostate cancer in men," as being particularly affected. This rise in mortality among these specific cancer types post-vaccination "cannot be simply explained by disruptions such as early screenings being unavailable due to the pandemic, or lost opportunities for treatment," suggesting a direct and concerning link between these "turbo cancer" cases and the mRNA gene therapy.
A medical coder for an American hospital spoke out about what she witnessed during the covid eraA hospital medical coder who goes only by “Zoe” for this interview describes for Children’s Health Defense (ChildrensHD) the horrors she witnessed following the rollout of the covid injections. Among the unthinkable, and deadly, illnesses were things like encephalitis, gangrene of the spine, blood clots, strokes, and multiple system organ failure.

The strange death of the family...The world is sleepwalking towards a depopulation crisisThe decline of families is a global problem. In the US, the number of households with under-18s living in them has declined from 56 per cent in 1970 to 40 per cent in 2020. And over a quarter of all US households were one-person households in 2020, up from just eight per cent in 1940. Similarly in the UK, both birth and marriage rates for women under 30 have hit an all-time low. The story is the same in most Western countries, as well as Japan, China and much of south-east Asia.
The killers who burned, beheaded and raped Jews in southern Israel last Oct. 7 were following in Hitler’s footsteps — Arabic-language copies of Adolf Hitler’s manifesto, “Mein Kampf,” have been found in Hamas hideouts.

Tennessee passes ‘Baby Olivia Act’ requiring public schools show development of unborn babies“It is a scientific fact that human life begins at conception,” said Republican state Rep. Gino Bulso, the bill’s lead sponsor, in March. “At fertilization, you’ve got all 46 chromosomes, you have the entire genetic makeup of the child, and from that point on, it’s simply a matter of growth and development. So if you’ve got something that’s growing from the moment of conception on, I have no idea how anybody could say that you did not have life. You obviously, you’ve got life, because something is growing.”
BREAKING: The Baby Olivia Act has been signed into law in Tennessee.
This law ensures that over 1 million TN public school students will be taught scientifically accurate information about when life begins using world-class educational materials like Live Action’s Baby Olivia.… pic.twitter.com/3nXRer4M0f
Students have been indoctrinated into a view that the world can be divided between oppressors and the oppressed. Those at America’s elite institutions have imbibed this message most successfully of all. These young adults have been taught to loathe their own country and made defensive of their privilege.

First Canadian Community Mandates QR Codes for Residents: Echoes of China's Surveillance StateAmidst the debate, the proposed QR code requirement embodies government overreach and a threat to personal freedoms. Despite claims of security necessity by left-wing politicians, its true intent is surveillance and control. Residents confront a choice resembling authoritarian regimes: compliance or resistance. The regulation’s fate rests on local decisions and community resolve to defend fundamental liberties. It’s imperative to resist unwarranted intrusion and oppression and safeguard our rights.
Director Christopher Wray was asked in an interview on Tuesday about “actively monitoring” the rallies erupting across college and university campuses, which have become the subject of controversy and condemnation from even senior government officials. Wray replied, “We don’t monitor protests.” He added, “But we do share intelligence about specific threats of violence.” Image

The end of mainstream Christianity in Britain...And what will we do with all the churches?To put this in context, the Church of England has about 16,000 churches. Running current trends forward a few years it seems impossible that the C of E will be able to maintain anything like that number, with a congregation measured in the tens, not the hundreds of thousands.
It is the same story for other mainstream churches.
Top corporate recruiters are now de-emphasizing elite schools, or even skipping them entirely. “The anti-Israel protests now at Columbia, and throughout some of the country’s once revered, top-tiered universities are tarnishing degrees from these places, these people say. Recruiters see the bungling responses from school administrations to the protests — such as Columbia calling for remote learning as officials negotiate with anti-Israel protesters to decamp from their disruptive tent-cities on campus — as endemic of a wider problem at the schools from an academic standpoint. At issue: Can schools that rationalize non-stop protests while allowing course curriculum that imbibes students with a leftist interpretations of world events be trusted to produce quality job candidates?”

Biden Admin Expands Paths to Muslim Refugees with USCIS AnnouncementThe Biden administration has been highly focused on facilitating mass migration into the U.S. It is almost as if the current administration sees it as an inevitable reality. It is undoubtedly the type of migration it has encouraged. The current administration says its primary goal is to support legal immigration. However, this administration has entirely redefined the term. Legal immigration under this administration looks nothing like the legal immigration of yesterday.
Like empires before us, we have lost our cultural confidence and moorings, increasing the risk of being overrun by newcomers.

Gaza Terrorists Attack U.S. Humanitarian Pier During Construction WorkThis is not the first time Palestinian terrorists have targeted humanitarian efforts to help the Gazans. In the past, Hamas terrorists have used delivery of food supplies to ambush Israeli troops. Terrorists have repeatedly attacked IDF soldiers, assisting civilians to evacuate the combat zones.
So Iranians will learn their homeland is now vulnerable and, for the future, no longer off limits.
And they will conclude that Israel has more effective allies than Iran and that their own ballistic missiles may be more suicidal than homicidal.
As a result, they may conclude that the real enemies of the Iranian nation are not the Jewish people of Israel after all, but their own unhinged Islamist theocrats.
“I think there are a lot of educated people — educated to their own set, but I think there are a lot of people who actually have no idea what they’re doing. They want to be a part of something bigger. Gang mentality. Call it what you want. It’s not real,” she added.
According to the Baltimore Banner, Pikesville High School Principal Eric Eiswert was temporarily removed from his position after an audio clip surfaced appearing to show him making disparaging remarks about black students and the Jewish community.

This Post on the 'Progressive' Pro-Hamas Mob Absolutely Nails ItWhy aren’t the “protestors” demanding that the terrorist group Hamas release hostages and surrender? Literally none of them are calling for that. All the fury is aimed at Israel, none at the party that started the war with an act of mass slaughter and rape and that keeps it going with hostage-taking and human-shielding. Hamas has turned down every “ceasefire” offer. Why would pro-ceasefire activists support the side that refuses a ceasefire?
Campus Tent Encampments 'Similar to Occupy Wall Street Mixed in With Islamist Pro-Terror Groups'“This is a toxic situation with toxic ideologies. These are essentially an anti-American anti-Western anti-capitalist ideology, similar to Occupy Wall Street from a decade ago, mixed in with Islamist pro terror groups and mixed in with praise for Hamas and other terrorist groups. This is not really something that we’ve seen before and I’ve been covering these movements for over a decade. It’s worse now.”
Public education has become a bastion of indoctrination, our political system seems to be irreparably broken, and the administrative state seeks to control every aspect of our lives.
Thirty years ago, many couldn't imagine some of these things we see happening today...
One of the more insidious features of Marxism’s manipulation of language is its stigmatization of opposing points of view as some form of mental disorder. Opposition to “gay marriage” is said to be a “sign” of homophobia. Distrusting Islamic terrorists who celebrate 9/11 and shout, “Death to America,” is a “symptom” of Islamophobia. Wanting the federal government to secure our borders and enforce existing immigration law “reveals” underlying xenophobia. Not wanting biological men to force their way into ladies’ locker-rooms and showers suggests that a person “suffers” from dreaded transphobia.
Notice that all these purported psychiatric disorders are categorized as “phobias,” or more plainly, as “irrational fears.” Marxists routinely use loaded medical language not only to demonize or disgrace their foes but also to transform any political disagreement into something that it is not.

Biden mocks Catholics by making sign of the cross at abortion rallyI have never seen anything more disgusting come out of this wretched president, ever. He's gone downhill and gotten extremist in his anti-Catholic policies, suing the Little Sisters of the Poor over whether they should pay insurance for abortion, as well as ignoring all the arson and vandalism attacks on Catholic churches, and now he's getting even worse.
All I can hope is that Catholics will make it very hard for their wokester Catholic bishops and their silence over this outrage, and Republicans have got the campaign ads already made, because rest assured, this creep will come 'round again, Eddie Haskell-like, to seek the Catholic vote.
Absolutely Vile: Joe Biden Makes Sign of the Cross at Abortion Rally in Florida“There is no divine support for destroying the lives of innocent children, and he should know better.

The far left is the new KKK, and its members are entitled trust-fund clowns who likely have never been held responsible for their actions. We the People owe it to America's Jews to avoid Holocaust 2.0.
Germany persuaded ordinary men to kill Jews. But watching the virulent antisemitism we are seeing throughout the nation, I fear the next round of Jewish genocide, should it happen here in the United States, won't require any "persuasion." Image
Scotland's Hate Speech Laws Are the Latest Attack on FreedomOver 8,000 complaints have been filed with the police since April 1.

The sheer waste of police and legal enforcement is staggering.

Christian Politician Threatened With Jail for Bible Tweet, Now Dragged Before Finland's Supreme Court...Räsänen’s plight began June 17, 2019, when she tweeted the text of Romans 1:24-27, which condemns homosexuality as sinful. She was alarmed at the time over a decision by her denomination, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, to support an LGBTQ Pride event, so she responded by sharing Scripture on her X account, sparking a criminal complaint.
Then, a pamphlet detailing biblical views on sexuality she wrote nearly 20 years ago and a radio interview also landed her in legal hot water, culminating in a trial last year. She was acquitted in the first legal battle before the prosecutor appealed and ended up in court again in the most recent legal debacle.
In the trial that concluded in November, Räsänen said the prosecutor argued she’s allowed to “believe in her mind whatever about the Bible, but it is illegal to express it outwardly.”

Amazingly, Harvard Suspends Pro-Hamas Student GroupSome sort of response by Harvard was obviously required and long overdue. The school is already losing money from some of its largest donors and alumni. And whether they realize it or not, many of these students are protesting their way out of the job market if and when they graduate. The problem here is that Harvard failed to act quickly and decisively when all of this began. This left the students with the impression that they could get away with pretty much anything. I realize that protests on college campuses have become something of a tradition in this country and we don't want to do away with free speech. But there have to be limits and the actions that are being taken by these groups have definitely crossed a line.
BBC rejoices as Britain commits economic suicide in pursuit of Net ZeroThe mind-boggling stupidity behind the UK’s economic suicide so beloved by our idiotic politicians and the BBC is the ludicrous way the UK’s CO2 emissions are measured. If a ton of steel is produced in the UK, it counts towards the UK’s CO2 emissions. But if that ton of steel is produced in China at steelworks powered by coal-fired power stations and then transported around the world in a diesel-powered ship to Britain, it’s not included in the UK’s CO2 emissions. So the more we close down our manufacturing and import things, the more likely we are to hit our rulers’ Net Zero targets. And if we think things are bad now under the fake Tories, this is nothing compared to the economic disaster that awaits us when Starmer and Ed Miliband take control of our energy policy.

Disney World Turns Park Into Drag Show for Kids With Transgender Snow White CharacterThe irony of the casting choice is that a man is playing the Evil Queen, highlighting Disney's sinister intentions in confusing children about gender in situations like this. Disney has done this for some time in shows like Fantasmic, where the characters are at a distance and don't interact directly with children, but this is the first known instance in which they put a character within touching distance of kids.
Parents are reacting with outrage as this story is breaking, wanting to keep their children away from this messaging. Meanwhile, corporations like Disney continue to manipulate kids with intentional messages of gender confusion as part of their extreme leftist propaganda.

President Joe Biden to visit Syracuse following $6.1 billion Micron grant newsThis visit will require heavy police presence and man hours, presenting a massive challenge for local law enforcement who are shattered following the deaths of Syracuse Police Officer Michael Jensen and Onondaga County Lt.

Local lawmakers shared with CNY Central Friday they are unhappy about the timing of the presidential visit, supporting law enforcement's request to postpone the visit so officers have time to rest and grieve.

West Prep Academy, a NYC Middle School, Boots Special Needs Students to Make Way for Migrant KidsWest Prep Academy, a New York City middle school with a significant percentage of special needs students, is planning on sending them to an unsafe 127-year-old building to make room for migrant kids. The school, in which 43 percent of students have special needs, and 90 percent are Black or Latino, shares a building with PS 145, which has been inundated with a surge in enrollment of migrant children.“This building is not equipped to house students with special needs [or] students that don’t have any special needs — it’s not equipped, it’s 127 years old,” said Denise Johnson, a parent of a West Prep Academy sixth-grader. “The issue is we are coming from a building that is substantial, with all [the] equipment to service their students to a building that lacks resources.”
A more recent incident which got a lot of attention was the decision to hold a protest at the home of Berkley's law school dean Erwin Chemerinsky. This came a few days after the protest group posted an image of Chemerinsky with blood dripping from a knife and fork in his hands. In a recent statement to the Nation, Chemerinsky expressed shock to see this kind of behavior coming from the left.

Offshore Wind Turbines are Disastrous for Maine Fishermen, Marine LifeA group of more than a dozen fisher organizations is sounding the alarm on a massive area of ocean about two times the size of Rhode Island, reserved for erecting floating wide turbines. Such turbines are always expensive, toxic, unreliable, and inefficient, but in this case the turbines will be disastrous for the Maine fishing industry and do potentially permanent damage to marine species. During a media call Monday, fisherman Jason Joyce and Roda Fisheries executive director Annie Hawkins explained why the wind turbine craze in government and business presents practically no benefit aside from enriching oligarchs.
To Celebrate Earth Day, The White House Locks Off More Alaskan Earth From American UseLast week, the Biden administration celebrated “Earth Day” early by announcing it will unilaterally rope off millions of acres across Alaska from development and other local uses. On Friday, the Department of the Interior (DOI) issued twin rulings to impose “maximum protections” banning oil exploration in 13 million acres in the western Arctic and deny permits for a 211-mile road the state wanted to build to a colossal copper deposit worth an estimated $7.5 billion.
