Draft Dem Platform: Biden and Harris 'Recognize the Worth of Every Innocent Life'
by Ben Johnson
A recently released official party document reveals that the Democratic Party intends to claim the Biden-Harris administration respects the value of all "innocent life" and stokes outrage that the next Republican president could shut down the national abortion pill business "by enforcing a law" that's already on the books - implicitly conceding the Biden-Harris administration is breaking the law to promote abortion.

Today, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USIS) is averaging around 4.9 months, which Lee noted is the "fastest [processing] pace in decades."

'Evangelicals for Harris' Call Shows Tepid Support
by Joshua Arnold
A newly-minted political group hosted a Wednesday night "Zoom-style rally," as MSNBC put it, touting evangelical support for Harris. "Evangelicals for Harris has sought to offer a counter-narrative to evangelicals' overwhelming support for Trump," proclaimed The Tennessean, a progressive paper in Nashville. The narrative, as it uncritically repeated it, is that "Harris' campaign has drawn out more direct support from those who may have sympathized with Democrat ideals but might not have gone out of their way to endorse Biden's former candidacy." Is this true?

South Dakota Ballot Initiative Pushes Abortion Until Birth
by Sarah Holliday
As guest host and former Congressman Jody Hice said on Wednesday's episode of "Washington Watch," the "abortion activists [are] at it again," and "they've got their sights now set on the state of South Dakota." What Hice is referring to is the recent push for something called Amendment G, a modification to the state's constitution that would allow abortion up until birth, while also removing health and safety measures for the women involved. It's "so outrageous," Hice noted, that "even Planned Parenthood, to this point at least, has not gotten on board."

New Study Reaffirms Inherent Differences between Male and Female Brains
by Dan Hart
A new study out of Stanford University has revealed that the natural thought patterns that occur in male and female brains are highly distinct from one another.
