On Aug. 10, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed a bill allowing abortion at any point in pregnancy. Abortion advocates call it "closing the gaps" in "abortion rights protections." Abortion foes call it "abortion until birth," making it legal to dismember fully formed babies, limb from ...
Big Numbers – Elon Musk, one single person, is worth more than one trillion dollars. $1,000,000,000,000.00. An unimaginable number that for our understanding equals one million, millionaires. Coming into office Donald Trump promised to deal with inflation and he has. He is now worth more than a billion dollars, or one thousand, millionaires. He has solved the inflation problem. He has now amassed so much wealth that he just doesn't have to care about inflation. How did they amass such wealth? Our government is broken. Donald Trump is in control.

Today, we are experiencing a rapidly spreading disease called “Democratic Liberalism” that will deeply destroy our country. President Obama said “we are a nation of cowards and hypocrites.” This recent shooting in Madison Wisconsin proves it. This has happened many times across the country where law enforcement was doing their ...
Two stories have dragged the subject of postpartum depression into the center of the national conversation this week. First was the death of actress Hayden Panettiere at the age of 36, not long after speaking openly about her struggle with postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter.
