The Truth about the Abortion Pill
BLUF:
[American Thinker] Society has opened Pandora’s box with the abortion pill, and the impacts are significant. While there is no way to know just how many babies are dying because of these pills and how many mothers are harmed by them, we do know that the numbers must be staggering. And we know that Planned Parenthood will continue to do all it can to get these pills into the hands of young, desperate women. That is why we must work to shut it down for good.

#1  Planned Parenthood will continue to do all it can to get these pills into the hands of young, desperate women. That is why we must work to shut it down for good.

Huh?
Unlikely many readers here can appreciate the distress of a 12-19 yo with an unwanted pregnancy.

The best thing about 'this pill' is it's impact on the abortion industry dollars. There's too much money being made to advance safer contraception practices.

The worst, the usage becomes something like an alka-seltzer for a hangover. One could not drink, one could not drink to excess, one could not repeatedly drink to excess, but there is always alka-seltzer for when we do.

Britain
Winston Marshall / Nancy Pelosi debate at Oxford Union.
[YouTube] Winston Marshall argues that populism is not a threat democracy, but rather is democracy itself 6/6

Winston Marshall speaks in opposition of the motion that This House Believes Populism is a Threat to Democracy.

Mr Marshall is the host of The Winston Marshall Show, and was previously a member of the musical group, Mumford & Sons.

This is the final speech of six.

Government Corruption
Just When You Think the Trump Trial Couldn't Get More Corrupt, This Guy Shows Up
[PJ] Just when you thought the corruption surrounding the Manhattan case against Donald Trump couldn't get shadier, the Nepo Baby has arrived to prove you wrong.

Remember the guy who worked for House Democrats to prosecute the first Trump impeachment? The case in which President Trump "made a perfect phone call" to the Ukrainian president to find out Joe and Hunter Biden were shaking down oligarchs and changing U.S. policy to fire the prosecutor investigating their shady dealings? The one where he said he'd temporarily stall Ukrainian help he'd been providing if they didn't look into this shady behavior?

Remember the guy who, as a federal prosecutor in New York, sat at the right hand of the most anti-Trump, anti-GOP U.S. Attorney on the planet, Preet Bharara?

The same guy who served as Adam Schiff's counsel at the House Intel Committee and lied, and lied, and lied about Russia! Russia! Russia! Do you recall that guy?

Do you remember the Nepo Baby who's heir to the Levis fortune?

Yeah, that guy's in Congress now. And you'll be interested to know that Dan Goldman paid Trump trial Judge Juan Merchan's daughter's firm to help him get elected. I didn't realize that one of the world's most populous cities was so small.

This week, we found out that Goldman has been bragging about "prepping" former Trump attorney Michael Cohen "a number of times to prepare him" for his various legal proceedings before the House Intelligence Committee. That was Schiff's committee to Get Trump and frame the president as a Russian secret agent. For years, they kept up this sham to undermine support for the president even when they knew it was a lie.

This is the guy who prepped Cohen.

Victor Davis Hanson LIVE Q&A: The Greatest Threats to America and ‘The End of Everything' New Book (video)
[ET] In turbulent times, classicist and military historian Victor Davis Hanson is always a voice of reason.

To make sense of the Trump trials, the stunning recent protests on college campuses, and where the 2024 election is headed, I’ll be doing a live Q&A with Mr. Hanson on Wednesday, May 8, at 2 p.m. ET here on EpochTV.

His new book is "The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation," and there are a lot of lessons to be learned here for America.

Post your burning questions in the live chat or in the comments below, and we’ll see you all there.

Sharia Law In America - Sharia Law Advancing in America
[BillionBibles] Sharia law in the United States of America has reached penetration Phase 3: Infiltration of the 5 phases.

NEXT IS PHASE 4: CONFRONTATION
Where the crying eyes and those running to the cameras seeking public acceptance of their ways, even if they violate US Laws and civil rights, then go on a growing campaign of increasing hostile and destructive activities.

Then once selectively allowed in certain areas under disguise of Freedom of Religion moves to Phase 5: Imposition.

Where outsiders become subject to Sharia Law for being in their ethnic area of control. Eg. A White Anglo-Saxon, Hispanic, Asian or Africa-America Female college student is whipped for not wearing head covering and having a knee lenght dress, or just blue Jeans on.

God Baffled That Democrats Managed To Ruin California
[BEE] HEAVEN — According to sources in the celestial realm, God is scratching is head in wonderment that Democrats somehow managed to mess up California.

"You guys were literally given everything! How do you even do that?" said a spokesangel for the Almighty. "You have perfect weather, beautiful coastline, great surfing, skiing in the mountains, fish tacos, rolling vineyards, the list goes on. How on earth did you manage to take the most beautiful stretch of land on God's earth and turn it into a huge dump?"

"It doesn't make any sense."

Sources say Democrats in California took issue with the idea that they were to blame, claiming instead that everyone else was to blame and definitely not them or anything. "Yeah, it's like global warming and stuff," said Governor Gavin Newsom to a crowd of homeless meth heads on Pier 39. "And not enough taxes. If we had more taxes, all the things would be better."

Sources confirmed the host of Heaven is watching in amazement as people are actually leaving the beauty of California in the millions, choosing to live instead in places like Ohio and Florida. "We intended Ohio to be a place of torment for those who displease the Lord. We filled Florida with man-eating snakes and gators so mankind wouldn't live there," continued the spokesangel. "But somehow, Democrats have made those places actually look attractive to people. It's truly baffling."

At publishing time, God finally decided to pour out his divine wrath after finding the Democrats had figured out how to ruin fish tacos.
