He’s leaving office with a 38% job approval rating; 60% disapproval More from @LangerResearch https://t.co/nSVXCDI1bs — Karen Travers (@karentravers) January 15, […]
A novel argument for chipping away at legalised abortion in the United States is catching on amongst the judiciary: abortion should not be used for eugenic purposes. Last week the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit struck down Arkansas Acts 493 and 619. The first attempted to ban abortions after 18 weeks because it is […]
Lisa Montgomery was born with permanent brain damage, because of her mother’s drinking during pregnancy. When little Lisa was three years old, her stepfather slipped into the room she shared with her eight year old half-sister, Diane. Lisa, according to evidence presented years later, held her sister’s hand while the older girl was raped by […]
Watching the highly disturbing footage from Washington DC, last night, my mind kept going back to the autumn of 2018. On October 4th, of that year, the US Senate was engaged in a confirmation hearing for now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh of the Supreme Court.

For the last decade or so, those warning of civilizational collapse have been accused of being alarmist. I recently reviewed Rod Dreher’s latest book, Live Not By Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents, and noted that many still believe that a “silent majority” of Americans are opposed to the radicalism of the Left—that eventually, progressives will […]
Interesting fact of the day, for those of you who don’t think so much about the words you use: “Amen”, which christian people customarily say at the end of a prayer, doesn’t actually have anything to do with men.

Massive crowds have thronged Washington DC for a ‘Million MAGA March’ as supporters of President Donald Trump continue to call for an audit of the November 3rd election.

On Monday, October, 13, Dutch Health Minister Hugo de Jonge announced that the Dutch government will amend its euthanasia law to permit child euthanasia — an announcement that came only three days after the news that the issue of child euthanasia had divided the Netherlands coalition government. The NL Times reported that de Jonge said the new law […]
On Saturday evening, U.S. President Trump named Amy Coney Barrett as his nominee to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. Although her nomination had been widely predicted, and was greeted enthusiastically by the President’s supporters and by the Pro Life movement, it also sparked another outpouring of rage, abuse and […]
Fifty years ago, on September 26 1970 to be exact, a huge fire destroyed over 100,000 acres of woodland in northern California, destroying a property known as the Spahn Movie Ranch: “As the ranch hands tried to save the horses, the Manson girls, their faces illuminated by the light of the conflagration, danced and clapped […]
Abortion survivors have thanked U.S. President Donald Trump after he announced an executive order on Wednesday which would require that medical care be given to babies who are born alive after a failed abortion attempt. “Today I am announcing that I will be signing the Born-Alive Executive Order to ensure that all precious babies born alive, […]
