(LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life leaders are criticizing a Democratic congressional candidate who recently explained why she killed two innocent preborn babies in the womb.

The interview also highlights the extremism of the environmentalist movement, which puts bees and trees above babies, and the ethical problems with in vitro fertilization (IVF).

California candidate Esther Kim Varet made the comments during a recent episode of a show called “The Happily Never After.” She is running in the 40th Congressional District against Congresswoman Young Kim, a Republican.

The title of the episode, “All About Abortion,” underscores how the direct and intentional killing of innocent preborn babies is important to Varet.

Friedrich Merz says Washington has “no convincing strategy” in talks with Tehran

The US lacks a coherent negotiation strategy and is being “humiliated” by Iran, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday.

Merz made the remarks as the vital Strait of Hormuz remains closed to most shipping, driving up global energy prices.

“The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected, and the Americans clearly have no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations either,” Merz said during a visit to a school in Marsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia.

“The problem with conflicts like this is always that you don’t just have to get in – you also have to get out again. We saw that very painfully in Afghanistan for 20 years. We saw it in Iraq,” the chancellor said, according to Deutsche Welle.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a wannabe Barack Obama, doubled down on his “maximum warfare” comment he made last week despite the urge to tone down the rhetoric after President Donald Trump faced his third assassination attempt.

Disgusting:

As it relates to anything that has been said, certainly as it relates to the comment related to “maximum warfare everywhere, all the time,” in connection with the redistricting battle that Republicans launched, I stand by it. You can continue to criticize me for it.

I don’t give a damn about your criticism as it relates to anything that has been said, certainly as it relates to the comment related to maximum warfare.

It’s been 48 hours since the attempted assassination of President Trump and senior Cabinet officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Sadly, one network endeavors to deemphasize the words contained within the shooter’s manifesto, and hide his leanings from viewer consideration.

Watch as correspondent Matt Gutman papers over all of these important insights into the shooter, reducing his statements to his mockery of the security arrangements outside the D.C. Hilton:

MATT GUTMAN: In an email to family timed to be sent just before the incident, police say the suspect himself expressed surprise at the security footprint. He wrote “I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside… because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.”

Illinois Gov. Blames Trump For Political Violence After Assassination Attempt– www.louderwithcrowder.com

EXCERPT:

Speaking with CNN’s Manu Raju, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker discussed political violence in America after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The problem with his remarks is that he decided to blame the president, despite this being the third assassination attempt on his life. Rather than call out the left, which is the side largely responsible for much of the political violence in this country, he decided to slander Conservatives, as he failed to acknowledge any form of self-reflection.

According to Pritzker, it is the president who calls for political violence against the other side, so much so that he has called for jailing his political opponents. The problem with this, however, is that reality proves otherwise, so much so that the level of projection in his remarks is unbelievable.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation declined to end a lawsuit blocking President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project after acting Attorney General Todd Blanche used a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to call on the litigation to be dropped.

“I write to acknowledge receipt of your letter requesting that the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States (“National Trust”) dismiss the above-captioned lawsuit,” National Trust senior counsel Gregory B. Craig confirmed to Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate in a letter on Monday. “The National Trust respectfully declines the invitation to dismiss.”

“The National Trust’s filings have repeatedly insisted that any injunction on ballroom construction nonetheless permit work to continue on the below-ground bunker construction you have represented to the Court is necessary to preserve national security,” the letter continued. “What Saturday’s awful event does not change is that the Constitution and multiple federal statutes require Congress to authorize construction of a ballroom on White House grounds, and that Congress has not done so.”

“Equally clear is that nothing in this lawsuit puts the personal safety of the President, his family, or his staff in any jeopardy. Indeed, after reviewing multiple secret security submissions by your office, the court concluded that the absence of a White House ballroom is not a matter of national security permitting those federal laws to be ignored.”

A Wisconsin teacher was placed on leave following controversial comments in which he said he was “not impressed with recent presidential assassins.”

Kaukauna High School social studies teacher Patrick Meyer suggested that the four men who successfully assassinated a U.S. president — John Wilkes Booth, Charles Guiteau, Leon Czolgosz and, Lee Harvey Oswald — must be rolling over in their graves after recent failed attempts to kill a president.

“I am not impressed with recent presidential assassins. It’s f—ing embarrassing! Booth, Guiteau, Czolgosz, Oswald must all be spinning in their graves! MAGAA (make Americans great assassins again)! Sad!” Meyer said in a since-deleted post on X, appearing to mock President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again, or MAGA, slogan.

Trump’s reviving U.S. manufacturing, just in time for the midterms– www.americanthinker.com

Imagine an America where factories hum again, jobs return to towns long left behind, and the heartbeat of industry pulses stronger than it has in years.

Under President Donald J. Trump, that vision is becoming reality.

Democrats spent years pushing a narrative that manufacturing’s decline was inevitable, a so-called Trump Effect they blamed on him while their own policies accelerated the bleeding. Trump has ended that lie. American manufacturing is surging back, and the numbers prove it.

Republicans must recognize this triumph, especially now, as midterm season unfolds. They should defend it fiercely, for Democrats’ woke leftist base would dismantle every gain with vindictive speed if handed power again.

Manufacturing is expanding for the third straight month. Its key index posted the highest reading since 2022. New orders are rising for the third consecutive month as both American and overseas buyers seek U.S.-made products. Production has grown for five months running and is accelerating at a pace unseen before the disastrous Biden-Harris era. The Philadelphia Fed’s Manufacturing Index surged in April, beating forecasts.

Red states are not waiting for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act– www.theblaze.com

President Donald Trump continues to prioritize the passage of the SAVE America Act, keeping election integrity at the forefront in Washington. However, states are not waiting for Congress to act. Across the country, this shift has been building for years, and it is becoming harder to ignore.

The SAVE America Act should be passed because it aligns federal elections with the direction states are already taking.

Florida offers one of the clearest examples. Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed a state-level measure requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote and directing officials to verify applicants using existing data systems. The approach mirrors what the SAVE America Act would do at the federal level. DeSantis said the law would “strengthen the security, transparency, and reliability of Florida’s election system.”

Florida is not alone. In Mississippi, Governor Tate Reeves signed the SHIELD Act, which requires officials to verify citizenship when individuals register to vote, including checks against federal databases and regular audits of voter rolls. Reeves called it “another win for election integrity” and made clear that the state intends to keep strengthening its system.

Monday morning, First Lady Melania Trump urged ABC to pull the plug on late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel  in her first public statement reacting to his badly timed “joke” referring to her as “an expectant widow.”

The First Lady, along with President Trump,  Vice President JD Vance, and other top administration officials had to be evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., Saturday night, when 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, stormed a security checkpoint armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, a .38-caliber handgun, and multiple knives.

The suspect, who had booked a room at the hotel, fired at least one shot during an exchange with law enforcement before being tackled and apprehended near the ballroom entrance. One Secret Service agent was struck in the chest but sustained no serious injury due to a bullet-resistant vest; there were no other injuries.

Attendees, including journalists and Cabinet members, ducked under tables as Secret Service agents secured the area. Trump later stated he was instructed to go down on the floor and was escorted out, appearing to crawl during the evacuation.

The shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night has renewed the fervor of another debate raging in the nation’s capital.

On Sunday morning, President Trump made a post on Truth Social renewing his call to complete the White House ballroom, a project that has been halted due to an ongoing lawsuit.

‘The White House ballroom is essential for the safety and security of the president, his family, his Cabinet, and his staff.’

Trump argued that the shooting over the weekend demonstrates why the president needs a secure venue to host large events.

“What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE,” Trump wrote. “This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House. It cannot be built fast enough!”

Israeli strikes hit east Lebanon, expanding conflict area despite ceasefire– www.cbc.ca

The Israeli military began carrying out strikes in eastern Lebanon on Monday, expanding the scope of its bombing campaign during a ceasefire that has failed to fully halt hostilities with Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.

The strikes on Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley marked the first time the area has been hit since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire came into force on April 16, which significantly reduced the pace of attacks without entirely stopping the exchanges of fire.

Israel has continued to carry out strikes across southern Lebanon, and its troops are occupying a strip of the country’s south, destroying homes they claim as infrastructure being used by Hezbollah. The Iran-backed group, meanwhile, has kept up its drone and rocket attacks against Israeli troops in Lebanon and on northern Israel.
