Every state facing deceptive, unlimited abortion ballot measures this November

By JORDAN BOYD | The Federalist Democrats and their abortion giant allies want to legalize killing unborn babies throughout all nine months of gestation in every state. A majority of U.S. adults reject that position, but that fact hasn’t stopped the ballot measure battle that plagued Ohio last year from infiltrating several other states, including those controlled by Republicans, during the 2024 election cycle. Read about the iniotiatives on the ballot and which could be on the ballot, including in Colorado, here. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Teddy Roosevelt: Our most macho President owed everything to women

By EDWARD F. O’KEEFE | Politico When you’re born in North Dakota, you get a few idols to choose from: Peggy Lee, Lawrence Welk, Roger Maris — or Theodore Roosevelt. For me the choice was easy. When I was a child, my family would take summer road trips to Medora, North Dakota, where Roosevelt rediscovered himself after the tragic loss of his wife and mother on the same day in 1884, to visit Theodore Roosevelt National Park. On those long car rides, I read and reread Edmund Morris’ Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, so many times that its pages are tattered and torn. When I first considered writing my own history of my childhood idol, my intention had been to tell the story of how North Dakota saved Roosevelt’s life. After those tragic deaths,...

In AP/API poll, more than 8 in 10 Americans don’t trust corporate media to fairly report 2024 election

By TRISTAN JUSTICE | The Federalist Overwhelming majorities of Americans have lost their trust in the media to accurately report the news, according to a new poll out Wednesday. In a survey from the American Press Institute and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, a whopping 83 percent of respondents said they were concerned the media would “report inaccurate information or disinformation” in their 2024 election coverage. Eighty-one percent said they are worried the media will report unverified information, and 77 percent said they feared the media would stick to the facts — but be dishonest in their framing, only covering things favorable to their preferred candidates or detrimental to their opponents. Pollsters found that 72 percent are worr...

Biden will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to partisan list of mostly Democrats

BY DARLENE SUPERVILLE | The Hill (Via The Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — Clarence B. Jones says he thought a prankster was on the line when he answered the telephone and heard the person on the other end say they were calling from the White House. “I said, ‘Is this a joke or is this serious?’” Jones recalled. The caller swore they were serious and was calling with the news that President Joe Biden wanted to recognize Jones with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. Jones, 93, will be honored for his activism during the Civil Rights Movement. He’s a lawyer who provided legal counsel to Martin Luther King Jr. and helped write the opening paragraphs of the “I Have a Dream” speech that King delivered at the Lincoln Memorial at the 1963 March on W...

Study: Pasteurization cures milk from bird flu, but steer away from ‘raw milk’

By The Fence Post (via Hagstrom Report) Officials from several government agencies said today that tests for the presence of remnants of high path avian influenza (HPAI) in milk and dairy products show that pasteurization inactivates the virus, making the dairy products safe, but testing continues. The officials said that preliminary results from 297 total retail dairy samples of fluid milk, cottage cheese and sour cream have shown those products to be safe. Infant formula is also being tested, a Food and Drug administration official said. Raw milk headed for pasteurization is being tested, and the government continues to urge people not to consume raw milk. READ FULL STORY AT THE FENCE POST

Defiant Marjorie Taylor Greene vows to move on Johnson ouster next week, against RNC advice

By Josh Christenson and Diana Glebova | New York Post Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Wednesday she will force a vote to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson “next week,” one day after House Democrats vowed to block her motion to vacate. In a morning Capitol Hill press conference, Greene (R-Ga.) stood alongside Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) to declare that they would seek to remove the Republican leader for his “three betrayals” on conservative priorities. “I think every member of Congress needs to take that vote, and let the chips fall where they may,” the Georgia congresswoman said. “Next week, I am going to be calling a motion to vacate — absolutely calling it. I can’t wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican speaker and have to go home to their primary and h...

Kentucky Derby at 150: American sports tradition predates the automobile and the airplane, radio and television

By PAT FORDE | Sports Illustrated The dominant news of the day in Kentucky on May 17, 1875, was the death of John C. Breckinridge, a U.S. Congressman turned Confederate Civil War general. Breckinridge died at the age of 54 at his home in Lexington, Ky., a divisive historical figure. His obituary filled several columns in the next day’s The Courier-Journal  newspaper. On page 4 of that Courier-Journal, a relatively modest headline read, “Derby Day.” The accompanying story chronicled the Kentucky Derby victory by the colt Aristides, in what the paper termed “a brilliant inauguration of the Louisville Jockey Club Association.” The founder of the association was Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr., grandson of William Clark, one of the principals in the Lewis and Clark Expedition.  The origina...
