Time for NeverTrump Republicans to Put On Their Big Boy Pants 

We are not choosing a prom date, a spouse, a roommate, or a valentine. We are choosing the leader of America and the free world. You may not like Trump’s calling his opponents mean names. But did you object when Bush was called 'Hitler,' Trump 'a Nazi,' or Paul Ryan “pushed” granny off a cliff?

  Politics ain’t beanbag. If your opponent is fighting dirty, you had better step up or you will lose. It seems many NeverTrump Republicans, rather than get their knuckles bloody, would rather take the high road and deliver a kindly concession speech.

UK: Silent prayer could soon become a crime 

Last Thursday, it emerged that the Labour government is considering a total ban on silent prayer outside abortion clinics.

Caruzo: My Country Tried Kamala-Style Price Controls -- It Led Venezuela to Disaster  The prospect of buying things “cheaper” due to price controls may seem enticing. Who wouldn’t love to save a couple dollars here and there, especially under Bidenflation, which every single one of my American friends has been slammed by. But roughly two decades of price controls in Venezuela ultimately gave forth to severe shortages, rationing, corruption, and just unpleasant experiences and misery all around.

Walls Are Going Up and Chicago Police Are Getting 'Sick' Ahead of the DNC  Who would want to put their life on the line knowing how officers have been treated even in the best of circumstances and much less people when the people they are supposed to protect 'Led the charge' to defund them and are probably responsible for some of the horrid working conditions they have been facing? We are not implying that is the ONLY reason so many have suddenly become ill. We are simply saying it could have been a small piece of the pie. Image

NY Times: Abortion Clinics Everywhere Are Going Broke 

There's some real irony here. Pro-life groups have spent decades campaigning against abortion and especially against late-term abortion. But it seems many clinics (like the ones in New York mentioned above)  are now feeling pressure to stop performing these late abortions, not because of a change in the law but because of Bidenflation. I guess that's what they call a silver lining.

Planned Parenthood to Offer Free Abortions, Vasectomies at the DNC A mobile health center run by Planned Parenthood Great Rivers will set up shop near the convention and provide these services the first two days of the convention, according to The New York Times. 

The Times noted that there’s already a waiting list for vasectomies. This, the Times reported, shows the Democrats’ “head-on display of a new, unbridled abortion politics”
