Skip to Comments Gov. Tom Wolf highlights maternal health while UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital's long history of horrific experimentation on sometimes live aborted babies goes uninvestigated. By Ryan Navarro Last Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services  announced  it is joining with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Magee-Womens Hospital (Magee) to showcase efforts by Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration to improve maternal health services. In doing so, the governor is ignoring serious ethical and legal questions regarding the state’s largest hospital abortion provider’s role in fetal experimentation. I left UPMC in April after reading about a taxpayer-funded  study  published last year in which the scalps of second-trimester babies obtained through elective and medically indicated abortions at Magee were attached to mice and rats by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt). Prior to my departure, I submitted a report to ...

Skip to Comments By Jay Valentine The search for phantom voters is over.  Phantom voters are sitting next to you at the restaurant or standing next to you at the bank.  They are your friend and neighbor.  You may be a phantom and not know it. Phantom voters, the definition, is morphing from fake voters hiding in UPS boxes to people who advanced computer models predict will not vote. Don't get me wrong — there are thousands of phantom voters living in churches, R.V. parks, cemeteries, homeless shelters, hotels, and virtual mailboxes.  It's just that there are as many, perhaps more, who live active, healthy, honest lives on voter rolls.  They just don't know they voted. You've heard the stories, denied by the mainstream press and almost every secretary of state: there is no significant voter fraud.  Why not say that?  There is no way you can check. Now there is. After the 2020 election results sto...

Skip to Comments By Julian Conradson The Salvation Army is asking for more than donations this year. According to  recent reports  the Christian charitable organization is asking all white donors to reflect on their racism this year. Wow. On Thanksgiving the Salvation army  released  a statement refuting the claims of their racial demands. And now it appears the  Salvation Army has removed its absurd  “Let’s Talk About Racism”  guide following intense backlash over a text last week that told white donors to “sincerely apologize” for their racism while asserting that Christianity is institutionally racist. The link to the page is now broken and you get this when you click on it. As a result of the guide becoming public, donors and supporters across the country have been rescinding their support of the organization en masse, which prompted the Salvation Army to discontinue the guide pending “appropriate review.” But despite remov...

Skip to Comments ‘The Blood of Jesus will not save you from Covid,’ says this year’s yellow banner, unveiled on Thursday at Cape Town’s Central Methodist Mission. By James Stent for GroundUp This pro-vaccine message is the latest iteration in the Greenmarket Square church’s series of yellow banners. The church’s Reverend Alan Storey said, “Every single major religion and denomination is pro-vaccinations. Vaccines are safe and effective – they save lives, they reduce spreading, they reduce hospitalisation. “But there are individuals who are offering a false binary that it’s either faith in God or faith in the vaccine… That logic is quite difficult to counteract, because… it comes across to the people who are holding it that you are persecuting them, which then emboldens them even more,” Storey told GroundUp. “That’s why it’s so crucial for religious organisations like the church to be the one to counteract this false message.” Storey said that religious institutions have been doi...

Skip to Comments By Brandon Morse As RedState reported earlier, Jack Dorsey has stepped down as the CEO of Twitter. While many are happy to see the back of someone who was so divisive that he actually banned the President of the United States and stopped the distribution of a New York Post article that would damage Joe Biden, his replacement seems just as bad if not worse. It was announced that Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s CTO would be replacing Dorsey, and the moment that happened there was already a dive into Agrawal’s past, including his tweets. One such tweet that was dug up appears to be a quote Agrawal found interesting enough to Tweet. “If they are not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists,” was the quote. According to Agrawal in a follow-up tweet, he was quoting Asif Mandvi from The Daily Show. At this point, it’s unclear why he found that quote worth posting to his Twitter. While the con...

Skip to Comments By Cam Edwards During Kyle Rittenhouse’s sit-down with Tucker Carlson, the teen mentioned that he’s become a supporter of criminal justice reform thanks to his first-hand experience with prosecutors and the legal system. Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger raised a lot of eyebrows with his performance during the trial, and there was plenty of speculation about whether or not Judge Bruce Schroeder would have granted a mistrial if the jury had returned a “guilty” verdict on any of the charges. We’ll likely never know the answer to that question (unless Judge Schroeder decides to publicly opine on what he would have done), but we’re already seeing several states attempt to address potential misconduct by other prosecutors with the introduction of “Kyle’s Law.” Oklahoma state Sen. Nathan Dahm appears to be the originator of the language, which  he says  would allow defendants recourse to sue prosecutors over cases that should never have been brough...

Skip to Comments By Madeline Leesman On Monday, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) clashed in a phone call over Boebert’s recent remarks where she called Omar a member of the “jihad squad.” Both lawmakers issued statements blasting each other after the call. As Landon covered , over Thanksgiving, Boebert was captured on video telling supporters in Colorado that she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Omar when a police officer ran up. In the video, Boebert claims that she told the officer, “Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine.” “So we only had one floor to go, and was like ‘do I say it? Do I not?’ I looked over and I said ‘oh look, the jihad squad decided to show up for work today,” Boebert told supporters in the video. She added that Omar’s staffers talk for her on Twitter and that she’s “not tough in person.” Over the Thanksgiving break, Lauren Boebert said she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Ilhan Omar when a fretful Capitol...
