LIFE NEWS — Donald Trump says he would consider naming pro-life conservative Ken Paxton as Attorney General if he’s elected president. Trump said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is “a very talented guy” he would consider for an important post to turn around a very political Justice Department that is putting pro-life Americans in prison for years for peacefully protesting abortion. “I would, actually. He’s very, very talented. I mean, we have a lot of people that want that one and would be really good at it,” Trump said. “But he’s a very talented guy.”... (more)

DAILY WIRE — Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey is rescuing a pro-Israel conference from cancellation after a Nashville hotel backed out from hosting because of alleged threats by anti-Israel activists. When Ramsey heard that a Nashville hotel revoked access for the Israel Summit, an event scheduled for next week that will feature prominent Christians and Jews, organizers say Ramsey got in touch and offered not only to host it, but also to help make it even bigger....

TOWNHALL — Thanks for joining our study about the concept of “brokenness.” If not familiar with this theological concept, you might have experienced challenging, prolonged circumstances known in popular culture as being “down and out.” Usually accompanied by hopelessness and depression, brokenness is triggered by combinations of situations and factors such as financial, professional, legal, divorce, personal demons, physical setbacks, addictions, a betrayal by someone you trusted, being wrongly accused, a medical situation, an unexpected death of a loved one, etc....

Typical of someone taking Adderall or any amphetamine
BOB UNRUH — For an 82-year-old, Joe Biden is reasonably active, and reasonably alert. But he often stumbles when he walks slowly, and his speech is often muddled and disorganized. So how did he, suddenly, become "fiery" for his recent State of the Union? "Jacked up" on drugs, states Rep. Greg Murphy.... (more)

Passes ‘Israel Security Assistance Support Act’
REP. TOM COLE — The House of Representatives passed the Israel Security Assistance Support Act to support our great ally and U.S. national security. The legislation—introduced by House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee Chairman Ken Calvert (R-CA) and cosponsored by Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK), State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee Chairman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), and Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee Chairman David Joyce (R-OH)—curbs President Biden’s misguided efforts to withhold critical security resources appropriated in U.S. law by compelling the delivery of defense weapons to Israel as they fight to protect themselves against radical terrorists. The measure was approved by a vote of 224 to 187.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Is it just me or did President Biden throw Israel under the bus, presumably because the Muslim vote for his re-election is pretty shaky? Biden threatened Israel that the U.S. would withhold further weapons should Israel invade Rafah, the last stronghold of Hamas.... (more)

‘Impoundment power’
YOUTUBE — On May 15, Roman Balmovov reported on his "Facts Matter" show that President Trump has pledged that if he's re-elected in 2024, he will do all within his power to restore the executive branch's long-lost "impoundment power" and thereby limit the reach of the administrative state—to prevent the economic decline of America. Trump said such power was previously used by the executive branch "for over 150 years before being stripped away a half-century ago" in a way that was "clearly unconstitutional."... (more)

Routinely approves Pride Club, Green Club, to help students be prepared for a 'dynamic global environment'
BOB UNRUH — A school district that just weeks ago had refused students permission to begin an interfaith prayer club – even though a wide range of other special interest organizations like a Pride club and a Green club were approved – abruptly has reversed itself. "We are very pleased that the Issaquah School District is allowing our clients to start a prayer club at their school this spring," explained Kayla Toney, associate counsel at First Liberty Institute, in a prepared statement....

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — None of the five civil and criminal cases currently lodged against former President Donald Trump have ever had merit. They were all predicated on using the law to injure his re-election candidacy—given a widespread derangement syndrome among the left and a fear they cannot entrust a Trump/Biden election to the people. These criminal and civil trials are merely the continuation of extra-legal efforts of the last eight years to destroy a presidential candidate in lieu of opposing him in transparent elections....

Great idea if you're a mortician who believes in climate hysteria
PJ MEDIA — Professor Bill McGuire is a well-known vulcanologist and climate scientist who doesn't care much for humanity. He tweeted out a scathingly brilliant idea if you're in the mortuary business or work as a grave digger. "If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic #climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate." — Bill McGuire (@ProfBillMcGuire), May 11, 2024...

Jack Ryan: ‘If you hate cartels, I’m your guy’
WORLDNETDAILY — What would possess a man who amassed a small fortune as a pre- and post-IPO partner at the world’s most prestigious investment bank to forgo a typical transition to a life of corporate board sinecures and the country club, and instead wage lonely war against a behemoth industry boasting an army of lobbyists? To hear Jack Ryan tell it, he is taking on the U.S. real estate industry today for the same reason he challenged the Illinois education establishment and teachers unions two decades ago: a strong sense of justice, ambition, and purpose – one he believes is for the common good....

REV. MARK H. CREECH — Philosopher, journalist, novelist, and diplomat Michael Novak said nearly 50 years ago: “We live in curious times. Choosing to have a family used to be routine. But so many, so varied, and so aggressive are anti-family sentiments in our society today that choosing to have a family has become an act of courage. To love family life…is to be marked today as a heretic.” Novak’s observation is no longer a curious matter, but a deeply entrenched reality.... (more)

For violating state rules of judicial conduct before issuing draconian fine
BOB UNRUH — Arthur Engoron, the New York judge who found there was "fraud" by President Trump and his companies in a case where no one lost money and the "victims" wanted to do more business with him, now reportedly is under investigation, for possibly getting advice from a lawyer just before announcing a draconian $454 million fine against Trump....

YOUTUBE — Let's jump into the juicy details of the Trump family saga! Donald Trump's got some serious backup from his own kin. Picture this: five kids from three different marriages talk about a diverse family tree! Barron, the youngest, was the only one still under his roof during his time in office.

By Judge Aileen Cannon
PJ MEDIA — On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon indefinitely postponed Trump's classified documents trial. "The Court also determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture—before resolution of the myriad and interconnected pre-trial and CIPA issues remaining and forthcoming—would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury," Judge Cannon wrote....

ERIK RUSH — This week, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after mounting sexual abuse claims and allegations of sexual misconduct by adults within the organization. Apparently, sexual abuse settlements have severely strained the BSA's finances; this has been exacerbated by some states having recently passed laws that allow victims to sue for damages even if the abuse occurred outside criminal statutes of limitations....

FOX NEWS — Officers from the New York Police Department went to two different universities on Friday morning to clear out anti-Israel agitators and break up demonstrations they held on campus. Officers first cleared an encampment at New York University, where they arrested several protesters and called cleaning crews to the area to remove tents and sweep away the trash left behind by the protesters. The NYPD was then called to take similar actions at The New School in New York. After the operations, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell spoke to reporters to confirm the NYPD took the actions "at the request of school presidents" and ultimately arrested 56 people, with no incidents, between both schools....

DENNIS PRAGER — I doubt that there is any national or religious group that produces the percentage of people who aid those who wish to hurt – let alone kill – that group as do Jews. When one observes Jews who defend those whose raison d'etre is the annihilation of the one Jewish country on Earth, you have to ask: Why are there no others like them? Were there blacks who defended slavery? Were there Armenians who defended the Turkish mass murder of fellow Armenians during World War I?... (more)

JOE KOVACS — Best-selling biblical author Jonathan Cahn says the course of history can be changed with one important element, and individual believers in the God of the Bible play a major role in altering history.

Prayer can change the course of history," said Cahn, who was speaking on the National Day of Prayer Thursday evening before a crowd of hundreds at an event hosted by the Treasure Coast Christian Alliance....
