The Women’s March has had a rough month. First, the Tablet published an article that confirmed the leaders of the group are anti-Semites. This caused a serious backlash against the organization, with the Washington state chapter dissolving in the wake of the news. Next, a New York Times article giving some of the Women’s March organizers a chance to defend themselves and deny the Tablet article managed to again prove that leaders of the group are anti-Semitic, with one claiming “white Jews, as white people, uphold white supremacy,” which targets “ALL Jews.” The internal turmoil caused by these statements led the Chicago Women’s March to cancel their march. A march scheduled in California also cancelled – because those planning to attend the rally were “overwhelmingly white.” But don’t worry, supporters of the March, because there’s a new defender of the group: Karen Fleshman. The founder of Racy Conversations – an antiracist organization – wrote on Dec. 28 that she had interacted wit...

A jarring eight-minute video from Cut’s HiHo brand released on Friday features feminist and “Shout Your Abortion” movement founder Amelia Bonow promoting abortion to children. The segment is predictably filled with anti-science and pro-abortion talking points and includes Bonow bragging about her own abortion to the young boys and girls. Notably, Bonow tells the children that an abortion procedure “sucks out the pregnancy,” comparing its seriousness to that of a dentist appointment. She also frames the murder of the unborn in religious terms, calling it part of “God’s plan.” The video, which has racked up nearly 780,000 views as of Monday morning, has been thoroughly ripped apart by viewers as “propaganda” and blatant “indoctrination” of our youth with scientific fallacies. “You go to the doctor, and they put this little straw inside of your cervix, and then inside of your uterus, and then they just suck the pregnancy out,” Bonow tells two young girls. “And it was like a crappy dent...

President Donald Trump is not happy with the Democratic members of Congress who are refusing to hold a vote on the final appropriations bills of 2018. On December 22, the United States government entered a partial shutdown due to a disagreement between the White House and Senate Democrats on the amount of funding needed to secure the southern border. The president has made it clear that he wouldn’t sign a bill that doesn’t including some funding for a southern border wall, and the shutdown is expected to last until the new Congress convenes — and maybe longer. Because Democrats plan to wait to hold another vote until they take back control of the House of Representatives on January 3, most of the members left Washington, D.C. Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) even reportedly took a trip to Hawaii in a move that caught the ire of many, including presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway. Trump decided to jump on the bandwagon of calling out vacationing Democrats in several tw...

While the Left frets about the inhumanity of President Trump’s immigration policy and the cruelty of ICE, let it be known that 42 million people died from abortions in 2018. According to LifeNews, data compiled by Worldometers shows 42 million abortions occurred worldwide in 2018. Those numbers exceed deaths related to cancer, HIV/AIDS, traffic accidents, and suicide. Woldometers collects its data from governments and other reputable organizations to compile its data. The sources for the abortion stats were provided by: .Sexual and reproductive health – World Health Organization (WHO) .Shah, I.; Ahman, E. (December 2009). “Unsafe abortion: global and regional incidence, trends, consequences, and challenges” (Pdf). Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada 31 (12): 1149–58. PMID 20085681 The total number of abortions worldwide stands just 17 million people below the total number of general deaths worldwide (59 million), which does not factor abortion into its statistic. That mea...

President Trump has been cooped up in the White House throughout the Christmas holiday, even though first lady Melania and many of his kids retreated to the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida to enjoy some R&R in the sun. Since it’s too cold and rainy to play golf in D.C., the president has opted for his second-favorite pastime: Trolling Twitter. On Sunday, Trump pointed out that former President Barack Obama and his wife have built a mighty wall around their Washington, D.C., home for protection, and suggested that maybe America just needs a “slightly larger version.” “President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound. I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!,” he wrote on Twitter. President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound. I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reportedly expressed more confidence in President Donald Trump’s plans for Syria after meeting with him for lunch on Sunday. According to Fox News, Graham said that Trump “told me some things I didn’t know that make me feel a lot better about where we’re headed in Syria.” Graham previously said that he would try to urge Trump to reconsider his decision to withdraw from Syria. “I want to fight the war in the enemy’s backyard, not ours,” Graham said at the time. He also tweeted that Trump’s decision was an “Obama-like mistake.” Withdrawal of this small American force in Syria would be a huge Obama-like mistake. https://t.co/028NOsbyzT — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) December 19, 2018 As IJR Blue noted, Graham also vowed to tweet back at Trump whenever he said something about Syria. “I’m not letting this go,” he said. . @LindseyGrahamSC just told me to expect him to tweet back at the president every time he tweets about Syria.

Iconic game show host and conservative social media hero Pat Sajak ended yet another entertaining, pitch-perfect year online with a tweet he’s particularly proud of concerning President Trump’s least favorite media network and an all-encompassing troll of outrage culture. In a tweet that’s generated some praise not only from himself but in conservative media, including over at Twitchy, Sajak offered up a new name for CNN. “Easy fix for CNN: change name to Current Narrative Network,” he wrote Sunday. “My work here is done.” Easy fix for CNN: change name to Current Narrative Network. My work here is done. — Pat Sajak (@patsajak) December 30, 2018 A day after offering that free advice to the perpetually hysterical left-wing network, Sajak closed out the year by trolling hysteria in all its miserable forms. “Hurry! Last day to plan for the New Year’s grievances, apocalyptic warnings, outraged reactions, triggers, fury and general anger,” he wrote. “Happy 2019!” Hurry! Last day to...

White House adviser Kellyanne Conway took aim at Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Sunday, blasting the soon-to-be Speaker of the House for abrogating her duty to work with the White House to end a partial government shutdown, and instead spending time relaxing at a pricey hotel on Hawaii’s big island. “Nancy Pelosi needs to come back from Hawaii. Less hula, more moola for the [the Department of Homeland Security] and Customs and Border Patrol, funding our border security,” Conway said on Fox News Sunday, according to the New York Post. “They need to come to the table and do their job. A fully functioning democracy demands that both parties come together and that the Congress and the executive branch work together,” Conway continued. Pelosi has reportedly been holed up at the tony Fairmont Orchid Hotel in Kona, on Hawaii’s big island, where room rates can run from around $500 to a staggering $5,000 per night — and Nancy Pelosi is not hurting for wealth, so it’s unlikely she’s been slumming i...

Two days after Christmas, former New York City mayor and President Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani told the Hill’s TV program that Robert Mueller, who is investigating alleged collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Russian government, should be investigated for destroying text messages related to the case. Giuliani was being interviewed by Hill.TV’s Buck Sexton when he accused Mueller and his office of destruction of evidence because the special counsel erased text messages between fired FBI agent Peter Strozk and the FBI employee he was having an affair with, Lisa Page. “Mueller should be investigated for destruction of evidence for allowing those text messages from Strzok to be erased, messages that would show the state of mind and tactics of his lead anti-Trump FBI agent at the start of his probe,” Giuliani told Sexton. The Inspector General for the Department of Justice released a report earlier in the month that text messages between Strzok and Page were not ful...

There’s a reason kids say the darndest things: Children don’t have the filters that adults build up over decades of holding their tongues, and often cut to the heart of the matter with innocence and sincerity. That’s probably why a hand-written letter penned by a boy in Florida is resonating with so many people. On Christmas Eve, a K-9 named Cigo was tragically shot and killed during a dramatic police chase that took place outside of a busy shopping mall. “This is K9 Cigo who lost his life last night protecting others,” the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office was forced to post on Christmas Day. “We mourn the loss of this hero and we are so grateful for his service and sacrifice. Rest In Peace #K9Cigo #GoodBoy.” This is #K9Cigo who lost his life last night protecting others. We mourn the loss of this hero and we are so grateful for his service and sacrifice.

In an emotional farewell, students from California lined walkways to say goodbye to beloved school resource officer Conrado Martin. Martin spent the last three years working as a student neighborhood resource officer at Cooper Academy in Fresno, California. It was a job Martin admitted he wasn’t quite comfortable taking at first. He already had five children of his own — how could he possibly enter into the lives of over 600 more in any sort of meaningful way? But Martin took a leap of faith, believing that God called him to the position. “When we’re uncomfortable about doing something, and somebody knows your specialty, sometimes you gotta believe in what the man upstairs is calling you to do,” Martin said in a video interview with the Fresno Unified School District, posted on Twitter. “Even if it doesn’t seem right — feel right, you gotta believe that He’s ordaining something better for you.” And so Martin stepped into the role, and soon learned how desperately so many of the s...

According to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll from The Hill, only 33% of Americans plan on supporting President Trump in the 2020 general election. 22% of those surveyed said they will “definitely” vote for the president; 11% said they will “probably” vote for him. On the other hand, 33% of respondents said they will “definitely” vote for Trump’s Democratic opponent. “Another 11 percent said they plan to vote for another candidate in 2020, while 13 percent remain unsure,” reports The Hill. This poll stands in minor contrast to the RealClearPolitics “Favorable/Unfavorable” average for Trump, which has the president sitting at 39.5% “favorable” as of publication. Over the last six months, President Trump’s favorability rating has remained fairly steady, hovering in the low 40s. It wasn’t until very late into the month of December that his average favorability fell below the 40% threshold. At 42.7% as of publication, President Trump’s average job approval stands even higher than his favora...

President Donald Trump had some people on edge after he announced his plans to withdraw troops from Syria, but Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told CNN on Sunday he is confident in the president’s decision making. The president ruffled a lot of feathers when he announced that he would be removing American troops from Syria. Many with more hawkish foreign policy tendencies see this move as premature, fearing a withdrawal from Syria would be a repeat of former President Barack Obama’s failed exit from Iraq, which some argue allowed ISIS to form. President Trump caught a lot of backlash from members of his own party, and his Secretary of Defense James Mattis announced he would resign to allow the president to pick a replacement that better aligns with his foreign policy. Although Graham has been one of Trump’s biggest supporters as of late, even he called the move “ill-conceived” and compared it to President Obama’s foreign policy: We must remember these troops are in Iraq to retake ...

NFL defensive end Robert Quinn of the Miami Dolphins is upset with the media, not for anything that they have said about him but because of what they didn’t say about him, namely, his weekly protest of the National Anthem. Speaking with the Miami Herald, Quinn accused the media of ignoring his raised fist every week during the National Anthem. “Y’all ignore it,” Quinn said. “Because when I gave my first message on trying to bring unity, y’all swept it under the rug. It’s not me. When you don’t give a problematic story, y’all just ran away. You’ve got this lady named Cyntoia Brown, or whatever her name is, and you sent her to life in prison because she was being sex-trafficked. But yet you guys dipped.” Cyntoia Brown was sentenced to life in prison in Tennessee for a murder she committed at age 16. Activists have called for the courts to show more leniency in her situation due to her young age. The Miami Herald did write about Quinn’s protest back in April where he described America...

(Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Angelina Jolie hinted on Friday she could one day enter politics, as she urged global leaders to do more to help refugees and women in conflict. Asked whether she was moving towards a political career, the Hollywood star, an envoy for the U.N. refugee agency who has also campaigned on sexual violence against women, said she would “go where I’m needed”. “If you asked me 20 years ago, I would’ve laughed,” she said in an interview with British broadcaster the BBC. “I don’t know if I’m fit for politics, but then I’ve also joked that I don’t know if I have a skeleton left in my closet.” Jolie said her work with the United Nations and other organisations enabled her to “get a lot done without a title”, but did not rule out a future switch. “I honestly will do whatever I think can really make change and right now, I am able to work with a U.N. agency … to do a lot of work directly with the people in need,” she said. Will Angelina Jolie run for president on...

Joining Sunday’s “Fox & Friends,” President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani weighed in on the recent murder of a California police officer, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant, and said a rejected piece of legislation would have “absolutely prevented” the tragedy if it had been passed into law. “This could’ve been prevented by just a reasonably sensible policy,” Giuliani said before bringing up 2017’s Criminal Alien Gang Member Removal Act, which would have allowed for immigration enforcement action against suspected gang members even if they had not been convicted of a crime. According to him, the suspect, Gustavo Perez Arriaga, should have been reported to Immigration and Customs in Enforcement for a DUI, but California prevented authorities from sharing that information with the federal agency. The Criminal Alien Gang Member Removal Act, however, might have changed that, as Arriaga had known gang ties. Giuliani then tore into Congressional Democrats ...

Did he or didn’t he? For the record right from the onset, he probably didn’t. But you know the internet — some think he did. A short video recently went viral showing beloved Sesame Street character Grover saying “That sounds like an excellent idea.” That’s also what was written in the the script. But some people heard Grover say: “That’s a f–kin’ excellent idea.” Take a listen for yourself below. Grover is the best!!! I hear it both ways. But the “that’s a F’n excellent idea” is amazing. While “it sounds like an excellent idea” is what he really says. pic.twitter.com/9hOYde5460 — JT (@JTChief82) December 28, 2018 Debate began immediately.

This year’s Times Square New Year’s Eve bash will have a theme, according to New York City’s Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment commission: a celebration of the downtrodden, oppressed members of the mainstream media. Every year, ABC News reports, the Times Square Alliance selects a charity honoree for the celebration, and this year, that charity is media watchdog, Committee to Protect Journalists, which monitors attacks on the press across the globe. “On New Year’s Eve we look back and reflect on the major events of the past year, we look forward with a sense of hope, and we celebrate the people and things we value most,” the Times Square Alliance said in a statement made to media. “This year, we’re celebrating the free press and journalism and those who work to protect, preserve and practice it.” The committee was motivated to declare themselves allies of the press “after Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside of the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, Tu...

Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter on Sunday to blast CNN for a segment they did covering President Donald Trump’s use of the phrase “witch hunt.” President Trump has been under investigation since he took office. The main focus of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation has been to look into any potential collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Russian government. Although Mueller has gotten a few people connected to President Trump for crimes such as campaign finance violations, there have not been any direct links between Russia and President Trump, himself. Because the president believes the investigation is a waste of time, he often refers to it as a “witch hunt”: The Mueller Angry Democrats recently deleted approximately 19,000 Text messages between FBI Agent Lisa Page and her lover, Agent Peter S. These Texts were asked for and INVALUABLE to the truth of the Witch Hunt Hoax. This is a total Obstruction of Justice. All Texts Demanded! — Donald J. Trump (@realDo...

Organizers of the Women’s March rally for Humboldt County in northern California canceled its January march over concerns that the participants would be “overwhelmingly white.” The march was originally scheduled to take place on January 19 in Eureka but was canceled after “many conversations between local social-change organizers and supporters of the march,” one of the organizers said in a statement on the group’s Facebook page. “The local organizers are continuing to meet and discuss how to broaden representation in the organizing committee to create an event that represents and supports peoples who live here in Humboldt,” the statement said. “Up to this point, the participants have been overwhelmingly white, lacking representation from several perspectives in our community.” According to Fox News, data from the Census Bureau in July claims the county is 74 percent non-Hispanic white. According to the Washington Post, the Eureka group does not appear to be an official chapter of ...

Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, who lost a Texas Senate race by more than 200,000 votes, is the talk of the Democratic Party. Some leaders even think he should run for president in 2020 (despite his crushing loss to Sen. Ted Cruz). But Elizabeth Breuning, a progressive columnist who writes regularly for The Washington Post, says she doesn’t think that’s such a great idea, noting that the prevailing notion now that he could defeat President Trump has been “overstated.” Bruening said Democrats did hang on to some Senate seats in states that helped put Trump in office in 2016. “You look at the midterms, a lot of Obama, Trump voters went back blue again,” Breuning told Hill.TV’s Krystal Ball. But that doesn’t mean someone like O’Rourke can knock off Trump. “I actually don’t think that Beto’s the only way that you can win against Trump — I think a lot of that’s overstated,” she told Hill.TV. The columnist criticized the Texas congressman’s stance on issues that were a hallmark of Democratic me...

Seven additional men have been arrested in connection with the murder of Newman, California, Police officer Ronil Singh, authorities say, for helping suspect Gustavo Perez Arriaga try to flee into Mexico. ABC News reports that Arriaga was hoping to escape back to his home country of Mexico with the help of his girlfriend, family members, and co-workers, after he allegedly shot and killed Singh during a routine traffic stop in northern California on Wednesday. Arriaga was in the United States illegally. “An undocumented immigrant with known gang affiliations, the 32-year-old Arriaga tried to flee to Mexico after his alleged crime, authorities said Friday. Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said that Arriaga crossed into Arizona from Mexico illegally a couple of years ago and it is believed that he had been working on farms in California’s Central Valley,” according to ABC News. Arriaga had at least two prior arrests on his record, both for driving under the influence. When S...
