Top 3 Abortion Pill Myths Perpetuated by the Abortion Industry
- Details
- By Mary Szoch - The Washington Stand
When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the chemical abortion drug, mifepristone, without adequately studying the drug’s safety, physicians from across the country filed a petition challenging the decision. For over 6,000 days, the FDA failed to answer. Following Dobbs, the FDA finally responded dismissing the doctors’ safety concerns, and so the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine filed a lawsuit seeking to reverse FDA approval for mifepristone.

Prominent Black Christian Leaders Seek to Build Bridges
ATLANTA -- The AND Campaign, a Christian civic organization, is leading a political movement to build bridges and address polarization in America. This past week, Black Christian leaders from across the country, from multiple denominations and across generational lines stood together during a press conference in Atlanta, GA to endorse the AND Campaign as a legitimate voice in the American discourse. Over 100 prominent leaders also signed the AND Campaign's statement about the unique voice and role of the traditional Black Church in the political and cultural landscape. "The culture war is always a zero sum game. Your win is my loss and my win is your loss; that is not how things necessarily have to be." state Justin Giboney Founder and CEO of the AND Campaign.
Disney Is Going To Lose (Again) To Florida and Ron DeSantis
- Details
- By Josh Hammer
The first round of the "Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis v. The Walt Disney Company" fight, held last spring, ended in a clear DeSantis victory and Disney defeat. Following Disney's vocal opposition to Florida's commonsense Parental Rights in Education Act, misleadingly dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill, Florida passed a law to abolish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which in 1967 incentivized Disney's initial planting of a flag in Central Florida by giving the corporation unparalleled government-like powers over basic municipal services such as zoning, building codes and waste treatment.
Disney thus paid the price for coming out in favor of indoctrinating impressionable kindergarteners in vogue gender ideology and queer theory by having its gratuitous, extra-legal corporate welfare rescinded, putting it on an equal playing field with every other corporation operating in the state of Florida.

Federal Court Reigns in Chemical Abortion Access
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, the left scrambled to push abortion access in every way possible. One method they have used to bypass restrictions on surgical abortion has been to increase distribution of the abortion pill. With the expansion of telehealth and prescriptions through the mail, the Biden administration has used this opportunity to deregulate chemical abortions. However, the federal courts appear to be taking a serious examination of these deadly abortifacients.
On the heels of the 2000 presidential election, the Clinton administration approved mifepristone and misoprostol to induce abortions in pregnant women up to seven weeks gestation. In order to expedite approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Clinton administration pressured the French manufacturer of mifepristone to donate all patent rights to the United States Population Council. Then, the FDA recategorized pregnancy as an “illness” while claiming these drugs would provide a “meaningful therapeutic benefit” over all other treatments on the market. For over two decades, Democrat administrations have continued to loosen restrictions while ignoring the dangerous side effects.
Testimony: The Costs and Complexity of the Federal Tax Code Demand Reform
- Details
- By William McBride - Tax Foundation
Note: The following is the testimony of Dr. William McBride, Vice President of Federal Tax Policy & Stephen J. Entin Fellow in Economics at the Tax Foundation, prepared for Senate Budget Committee hearing on April 18, 2023, titled, “A Rigged System: The Cost of Tax Dodging by the Wealthy and Big Corporations.”
The Size and Distribution of the Federal Tax Burden
Chairman Whitehouse, Ranking Member Grassley, and distinguished members of the Senate Budget Committee, thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony on the distribution of the federal tax burden. I am William McBride, Vice President of Federal Tax Policy and Stephen J. Entin Fellow in Economics at the Tax Foundation, where I focus on how we can improve our federal tax code.
Today, my testimony will focus on four points. First, I will describe the current federal tax system, showing that tax collections are near an all-time high and the burden is highly progressive. Second, I will describe how the tax code’s increasing complexity adds to this burden, raising compliance costs for taxpayers and administrative costs for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Third, I will describe the economic costs of the tax code’s high marginal income tax rates, which slow economic growth and reduce living standards.
One Stat Rarely Tells the Story
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
Government debt as a share of the U.S. economy is falling. This must mean the Biden administration and Congress are practicing fiscal responsibility, right? No, it doesn't. The main driver behind the reduction is inflation -- inflation that politicians in Washington created with their irresponsible spending and refusal to engage in austerity after the COVID-19 crisis.
Misleading ideas like this are another reason why we must keep talking about fiscal policy. The missing debt is nothing to celebrate when it's due to inflation, something especially harmful for poorer Americans who see their living standards erode.
All of this might sound complicated, but the solution is not.
Two Street Riots, One Weekend: The Violent Legacy of Anti-Parent Policies
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Hundreds of people blocking streets, looting stores, and destroying property should not be normal occurrences. They are not normal in a peaceful, prosperous society. Alas, they are increasingly normal in America’s large cities. Unusually violent street incidents in Chicago and Los Angeles over the weekend illustrate the nation’s civilizational decline and point to at least one of the (many) causes.
Videos captured early Sunday morning show that a mob approximately 100 strong smashed through a glass door at an Arco gas station in Compton, California and ransacked the place while the overnight clerk hid in the bathroom. The “mob of looters … left a trail of destruction” at multiple stores, according to one local news report, while another said sheriff’s deputies received reports of gunshots in the area. Police arrived too late to stop the mayhem — not to mention being wildly outnumbered — but are reviewing video for possible charges.
Christian Love and Church Over State
- Details
- By Winston McCuen
Augustine of Hippo (354-420 AD) became the world's greatest political philosopher when he identified love as the core principle of all historical and theoretical forms of social, economic and governmental organization.
No shallow sentimentalist spouting brainless liberal Lennon lyrics, the great Christian saint insightfully distinguished between good and bad loves, and between good and bad loving. Unlike many, Augustine understood the central importance of loving the right things, and in the right ways. He saw how good loving is about doing real (and not imagined or pretended) good to others (and to self); and he shrewdly pointed out how the true doer of good must first know the real good of others (and of self). The world's greatest theologian, Augustine clearly demonstrated how right loving is impossible apart from spiritual regeneration, when Christ as Savior implants the love of Truth (Himself) in the new believer.
Executive Branch Lawlessness Must be Stopped

Eagle Forum Statement on the Senate’s Failure to Advance CRA to Reject the Veterans Affairs Department Abortion Services Rule
Eagle Forum President Kristen A. Ullman released the following statement on the Senate’s failure to pass S. J. Res 10 to protect life and halt the Veteran’s Affairs Department's rewriting of federal law:
This evening, the United States Senate failed in its duty to support and defend the Constitution by voting to allow the Executive Branch of the government to usurp the role of the Legislative Branch. How pathetic that 51 men and women who were elected to the Senate would so callously and carelessly give up their right to be legislators by allowing the Department of Veterans Affairs to rewrite a law that Congress duly passed.

Peter Navarro's Taking Back Trump's America Podcast
Hi. I’m Peter Navarro, its February 22, 2023, and in this edition of the Taking Back Trump’s America podcast, I want to sound the alarm over an upcoming meeting at the World Health Organization that may drag the United States deeper into the morass of this corrupt world body, further burden the US taxpayers, and further cede American sovereignty to a puppet international organization controlled by Communist China.
By way of history, at the beginning of the assault on America by the Chinese Communist Party virus a.k.a. Covid 19, in the early part of 2020, the World Health Organization failed miserably in its most important mission – protect the world from the ravages of the pandemic. Consider this timeline:
Evolutionary Arrogance
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
if you have ever been involved in an online discussion between creationists and evolutionists you will have undoubtedly seen the sense of superiority commonly seen among evolutionists. They seem to think that simply disagreeing with them means that you are either uneducated, an idiot, or both. They frequently seem to think that being intelligent and educated means that you would inevitably accept evolution. This arrogance is not only found among evolutionists in general but atheists in particular along with both political and social leftists. This intellectual arrogance Is the same because it extends from the same source.

“Why is it always women fighting against sex-based protections?” Riley Gaines wondered. “That will forever be beyond me.” The former All-American swimmer could only shake her head at the latest attack on girls’ sports by Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-Calif.), the latest high-profile Democrat to throw her sex overboard in the raging battle for transgenderism.
David Hume and the Anti-Christian Heresies
- Details
- By Winston McCuen
The times are evil, and trials are many, and Christians should guard against sins against the world's one and only true (Christian) faith, including incredulity, apostasy and heresy.
Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. Apostasy is total repudiation of the Christian faith. Heresy is the holding of a belief contrary to orthodox Christian doctrine while claiming it as orthodox and while boasting the name of Christian. It includes obstinate post-baptismal denial or doubt of some truth(s) which must be believed with whole or catholic faith, and refusal to accept correction.
Among the sins against the faith, heresy is the most subtle and persistent and dangerous because fallen human nature craves, above all, validation as good whilst in wicked rebellion against God.
Contact Your Representative to Ask Them to Protect Women & Girls in Sports
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
On April 6th, Biden’s Department of Education released a regulation that will erase the protections the law provides female athletes. The new Title IX rule will allow biological males to play in female sports in schools and colleges. Although twenty states have passed laws protecting these programs, the new regulation will override state sovereignty and make every school seek an accommodation in every sport at every grade level if they want to have a girls-only team. This is in direct conflict with the original raison d’etre of Title IX.
Tim Scott and American Exceptionalism
- Details
- By Star Parker
Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced the formation of an exploratory committee for his candidacy for president.
You may have noticed that Scott is Black. We may ask, in this woke age of ours, the extent to which this matters in his candidacy.
I think it does matter, which requires some explanation given that I am adamantly opposed to identity politics in all its shapes and forms.
Should Scott run and win, he will not be America's first Black president. When America's first Black president, Barack Obama, did run and win, it was widely viewed as a turning point in American history.
Trans Shooter Murders Christian Children
- Details
- By Winston McCuen
The truth about homosexuality -- as being, at bottom, murderous personal confusion and lostness -- is now out of the closet. The "progressive" sodomite philosophy has spread like a deadening cancer across America and the West. Open homosexuals now live all among us, and hold positions of power and influence. In the name of love, and from cowardly fear of man, we have foolishly accepted filthy, butt-screwing depravity among our own kith and kin. So what was once, decades ago, a relatively quiet and peaceful appeal for tolerance and acceptance on the social periphery has now morphed, by inevitable and Biblically foreseen stages, into full-blown anti-Christian homo-tyranny and murder reminiscent of Lot's flight from Sodom.
Florida Enacts ‘Heartbeat Protection Act,’ Reaffirming Life Issue’s Popular Appeal
- Details
- By Joshua Arnold - The Washington Stand
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday approved Florida SB 300, the “Heartbeat Protection Act,” which in most cases protects the life of unborn babies after six weeks of pregnancy, after both chambers of the legislature passed it by a wide margin. Florida law previously protected unborn life after 15 weeks. The bill marks substantial progress toward protecting unborn life in one of the nation’s largest states, even as the national media tries to frame a narrative that pro-life policies are political losers.
An Anatomy of Courage

- By Mike Scruggs
Quotes on Courage, Truth, and Wisdom We Should Not Forget
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty or mercy which yields to danger will be chaste or merciful only on conditions. Pilate was merciful until it became risky.” — C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
“Real valor consists not of being insensible to danger, but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.” —Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)
“If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows not fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fears, to carry on.” —General George S. Patton, United States Army (1885-1945)
“Where courage is not, no other virtue can survive except by accident.” —Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)
Life Legal Defense Foundation Secures Victory in Qui Tam Action Against Chemical Abortion Purveyor Danco
- Details
- By Life Legal Defense Foundation
NAPA, Calif. -- Life Legal achieved a significant victory in a qui tam action filed against Danco, the pharmaceutical company created specifically to import and distribute Mifeprex, the deadly chemical abortion pill. The lawsuit, brought under the False Claims Act, alleged that Danco knowingly and willfully failed to pay customs duties on the abortifacient drug, imported from China, resulting in significant financial losses to the U.S. government.
After a thorough investigation, Danco has admitted to its failure to pay the required Customs Duties on the imported pills, which it failed to label with the country of origin. As a result, Danco has agreed to reimburse the government $765,000 under the False Claims Act, which allows whistleblowers to bring lawsuits on behalf of the government and share in any recovery.

A Morning In April, 1775 - Part 2

- By W.H. Lamb
“No King But King Jesus”!
“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
their flag to April’s breeze unfurled.
Here once the embattled farmers stood
and fired the shot heard ‘round the world”
I’ve always loved Emerson’s famous “Concord Hymn”, the first stanza of which I’ve quoted above. It’s carved onto the famous “Minuteman Statue”, erected in 1875, that stands on the west side of The Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, on the spot where our American patriots fired volleys of musket fire at the British troops on the east side of the original bridge (the graves of two of the three British soldiers killed at this battle are buried by an old stone wall, near the bridge).
Regulatory Octopus Is Strangling Our Economy
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Every schoolkid knows -- or used to know -- that the United States has three branches of government. At least that's what the textbooks say.
But really, we have four branches of government.
That's because Congress -- the legislative branch -- has for decades delegated lawmaking authority to the unconstitutional fourth branch of the U.S. government: independent regulatory agencies. By some estimates, there are more than 300 of these agencies sticking their nose into every aspect of American life and business, from what kind of car you can buy to the temperature setting on your thermostat to what you can build on your own private property.
