The cable news channel CNN has suffered its lowest primetime ratings since 1991, in yet another indication that traditional television news coverage, as well as increasingly left-wing media, has taken a massive hit to its viewership in recent years.

As reported by the New York Post, the week of May 13th through May 19th saw the channel’s 8 PM to 11 PM programming draw just 83,000 viewers in the most crucial demographic of viewers between the ages of 25 and 54. In that same time period, Fox News saw over 186,000 viewers in the same demographic and the same time slots. MSNBC came in second with 111,000 viewers.

CNN’s 8-11 PM programming consists of Anderson Cooper’s “AC360” at 8 PM, followed by “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” at 9 PM, and concluding with “CNN NewsNight,” hosted by Abby Phillip, at 10 PM.

Georgia police are taking action against squatters after the Republican-controlled government passed new protections for rental landlords.

A video report from WSB-TV showed police mocking suspected squatters who were previously able to take advantage of loopholes in the law.

Before House Bill 1017, a dispute between the owner of a home and a squatter was a civil matter and could take weeks or months to be decided in court. Meanwhile the landlord would have to pay the mortgage while the squatter stayed for free.

‘All these fake leases. … Nope! Nope! Nope! That’s over with!’

A pair of top Republican senators revealed the Obama-Biden State Department intervened to prevent the prosecution of Iranian operatives involved in adversarial nuclear programs nearly a decade ago. According to lawmakers, former Secretary of State John Kerry blocked several FBI arrests of individuals responsible for proliferating Iran’s military capabilities between 2015 and 2016.

On Wednesday, Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., sent letters demanding documents related to the interference from the FBI, the Department of State, and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

“The records provided to our offices show that the Obama/Biden administration’s State Department, under the leadership of John Kerry, actively and persistently interfered with FBI operations pertaining to lawful arrests of known terrorists, members of Iranian proliferation networks, and other criminals providing material support for Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs,” lawmakers wrote to all three agencies. “The records also show that DOJ and FBI leadership apparently allowed it to happen until the Trump administration altered course.”

A new interrogation video reveals how a Palestinian father-son duo went from house to house raping and murdering Israeli women on October 7.

The 47-year-old Hamas terrorist Jamal Radi, accompanied by his 18-year-old son Abdallah, confessed to raping and killing several women as they wreaked havoc through the southern Israeli Kibbutz of Nir Oz, video footage of the Israeli interrogation obtained by the UK newspaper Daily Mail shows.

Jamal, the father of seven captured by the IDF inside Gaza, showed no remorse during the interrogation. “She was screaming, she was crying, I did what I did, I raped her,” he told Israeli interrogators, confessing to one of many rapes and murders he committed on October 7 with the help of his son and other Hamas attackers.

The footage confirms horrific findings made by the United Nations and other investigators. In early March, the UN admitted that its  “team … found a pattern of bound naked or partially naked bodies from the waist down, in some cases tied to structures including trees and poles.”

Teens who use marijuana are 11 times more likely to be diagnosed with a psychotic disorder, a new study finds, NBC News reported.

The cannabis study, published Wednesday, was led by researchers from the University of Toronto and examined teenage patients who used marijuana within the last year and those who didn’t, according to NBC News.

When the marijuana study was limited further to teens who were sent to the emergency room or hospitalized, it showed a 27-fold increase in the likelihood of being diagnosed with psychotic illness.

Apparently, Sleepy Joe is a devout Catholic. So much so that he was denied communion. But actions speak louder than words. And when you stop a Catholic service organization from holding its decades-long tradition of a Memorial Day mass at a national cemetery TWICE, it doesn’t take a genius to wonder if this is blatant religious discrimination.

Last year, the National Park Service (NPS) denied the Knights of Columbus a permit at the Poplar Grove National Cemetery even though they have been holding the service for 60 years. This year, history repeated itself. But this time, the “blatant violation of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA)” won’t be tolerated.

New book argues racism continues because it’s ‘the life-giving force of a dominant group’s religion’

“Whiteness” has become a religion to many Christians in a way that allows racism to continue in America, according to two sociology scholars.

Michael Emerson, a sociologist and fellow at Rice University in Texas, and Glenn Bracey, a professor of sociology at Villanova University in Philadelphia, make the case in their new book “The Religion of Whiteness: How Racism Distorts Christian Faith.”

“It’s a unified system of beliefs and practices that worships or sacralizes, not some God in this sense, but whiteness,” Emerson told Religion News Service in a recent interview.

Former President Donald Trump unequivocally declared in a social media post that he will not advocate birth control restrictions.

“I HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER ADVOCATE IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON BIRTH CONTROL, or other contraceptives. This is a Democrat fabricated lie, MISINFORMATION/DISINFORMATION, because they have nothing else to run on except FAILURE, POVERTY, AND DEATH. I DO NOT SUPPORT A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL, AND NEITHER WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

‘The Senate has begun to consider the Right to Contraception Act.’

The 2024 presumptive Republican presidential nominee issued the statement after he had been asked by KDKA-TV’s Jon Delano whether he backs “any restrictions on a person’s right to contraception.”

Language change does not make it legal, attorney says

A federal civil rights complaint has been filed against a Massachusetts Institute of Technology program that excludes white students.

Shortly thereafter, the school appears to have edited the webpage to state that “participation is open to all students regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, and national origin,” according to a College Fix review this morning.

However, this does not make the program legal, according to the complainant.

The program, Creative Regal Women of Knowledge, “engages in invidious discrimination on the basis of race, color and sex,” according to the original complaint filed by the Equal Protection Project of the Legal Insurrection Foundation.

It is run through the university’s “Office of Minority Education.”

Today, the Abortion by Fraud Criminalization Act (SB 276) passed the Louisiana Senate in a majority vote of 29-7. SB 276 creates the crime of coerced abortion by means of fraud and places the medication on Schedule IV of the Uniform Controlled Substance List. SB 276 does not prohibit the medications to be used in healthcare situations that do not result in elective abortion. Now the legislation awaits Governor Jeff Landry’s signature.

You wouldn’t know it from pro-abortion corporate media and Democrats’ commentary, but a bipartisan coalition of Louisiana legislators in the state House passed a bill this week that aims to punish anyone who knowingly tries to induce chemical abortion in a woman without her consent — the “crime of coerced criminal abortion by means of fraud.”

The legislation also changes the drug classification of mifepristone and misoprostol to ensure possession of the most popular abortifacient combination on the market without a prescription is illegal.

The Vatican announced that Pope Francis has cleared the second miracle of Carlo Acutis, paving the way for the teenager who died in 2006 to be the first millennial saint.

The teenager was beatified in 2020 after a first miracle was attributed to him, and the recognition of a second miracle by the pope is one of the final steps for making a person a saint, according to Reuters.

Acutis, born on May 3, 1991, was a computer programmer notable for creating an exhibition of Eucharist miracles and sightings of Mary before dying of Leukemia in 2006.

The first miracle involved a teenager who was born with a pancreatic defect. Mattheus Vianna reportedly prayed to Acutis in 2019 to relieve stomach problems and was healed, leading to the pope to recognize the miracle and beatify Acutis.

Pope Francis spoke to a palliative care symposium in Canada and told those seeking alternatives to euthanasia and assisted suicide that killing people is a “failure to love.”

The head of the Catholic Church said “authentic palliative care is radically different from euthanasia, which is never a source of hope or genuine concern for the sick and dying.”

“All who experience the uncertainties so often brought about by sickness and death need the witness of hope provided by those who care for them and who remain at their side,” the pope said in his message to the symposium.

A study released last week by big energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie says a Republican (i.e., Trump) win in November’s elections could “decelerate [the] energy transition,” and result in a reduction of “energy investment” of $1 trillion.

Anticipating a possible Trump victory, Wood MacKenzie’s study includes what it calls a “delayed transition” scenario, in addition to a “base case” assuming current policy trends, and a “net zero” case that assumes an acceleration of more and more debt-funded “green” subsidies at the federal level. The firm estimates its net zero scenario requires overall U.S. energy investments of $11.8 trillion in the coming 26 years, compared to $7.7 trillion in its base case and $6.7 trillion in the delayed transition case.

Progressives will point the finger and blame everyone under the sun for the criminality they condone, except those actually responsible for the crime. And Philadelphia Democrats have found their newest scapegoat: The business community.

A couple of months ago, certain districts in the city were forced to shut down by 11 p.m. as part of a new “business curfew” that is supposedly intended to prevent “bad, late-night behavior.” A new bill will now require additional business from 66th Street to Cheltenham Avenue to close by midnight.

From Maryanne Demasi Reports: “In 2018, a group of physicians and researchers petitioned the FDA to ‘immediately require the addition of boxed warnings and precautions [about Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)]’ on the drug labels and asked that ‘Dear Doctor’ letters be issued to prescribers to warn of such risks.

‘Even though the risk of PSSD may be rare, the condition is severe enough to sway someone’s decision to take the drug,’ said [psychiatrist Josef] Witt-Doerring.

‘They might have mild depression and decide they’ll do talk therapy instead of taking the small risk of permanent sexual dysfunction. It’s important for people to have informed consent,’ he added.

The Biden administration is going after western coal producers with new rules published last week that eliminate new coal leases in the nation’s largest coal-producing region.

Last Thursday, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced the agency would halt additional leases to mine coal across the Powder River Basin, which runs through southeast Montana and northeast Wyoming and is the most productive stretch of coal reserves in the United States. The Washington Post described the administration’s move as the “biggest step yet to end coal mining.”

Larry Behrens, the spokesman for the energy nonprofit Power the Future, told The Federalist the agency’s decision illustrates a president who holds “nothing but contempt for affordable and reliable energy.”

Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gloated Tuesday that the Manhattan lawfare case against former President Donald Trump is achieving its goal of keeping him from campaigning.

Speaking to reporters outside Capitol Hill about Trump’s upcoming rally in the South Bronx, Ocasio-Cortez pointed out the former president is holding a rally in the deep-blue Empire State because he has a “legal version of ankle bracelet around him” and can’t easily campaign in battleground states.

“By the way, he’s doing [the rally] in the South Bronx not to make a point but because he’s got court and the man practically has the legal version of an ankle bracelet around him. And he can’t leave the five boroughs because he always has to be in court,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And so it is truly an embarrassment to him.”

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (LifeSiteNews) – Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a series of new measures into law to further ostracize the left-wing climate agenda and curbing foreign influence in the Sunshine State.

Florida’s Voice reported that the first of the laws, HB 1645, eliminates a mandate for the state to address “the potential of global climate change” and blocks the expansion of offshore wind turbines while requiring the state to instead review the potential of nuclear power. It also requires rural electricity utilities to be ready for outages related to natural disasters by having at least one mutual aid agreement with another utility expands natural gas production.

Alyssa Farah Griffin told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) endorsing former President Donald Trump was a betrayal to her voters.

Griffin said, “I am disappointed but I’m not surprised. I lost all faith in all politicians quite some time ago. Maybe I’m being petty but if someone attacked my  intelligence, my family, my marriage and American democracy I probably wouldn’t then go back and support them and them military. Listen, Haley voters feel betrayed. A quick scan of her Instagram comments on this post itself and it’s just we feel betrayed by you. You told us why we should be fearful of him and now you flipped on it. I have always believed that the Haley voters actually were with her she was an aviator for something other than Trump.”
