Babies are being left to die after born-alive abortions in New Zealand– www.lifesitenews.com

Blurb:

The abortion industry’s ugliest secret is that babies are regularly born alive after attempted abortions and left to die by the medical professionals who had just tried to kill them. There are frequent and documented examples of this in just the past several years in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and in Ireland, where abortion has only been legal since 2019.

Now government data has confirmed that in New Zealand, babies are being born alive after attempted abortions at least once a month and, as is standard practice, are dying without being provided medical care. Abortion is legal on demand until 20 weeks of pregnancy and is frequently perpetrated afterwards if a doctor signs off that it is necessary for “health” reasons.

“Family First New Zealand reported they were able to obtain government data after filing an official request, and discovered preborn children survive attempted abortions on a regular basis,” Live Action News reported. “Since 2020, 80 attempted abortions have resulted in live births, though the real number may be even higher, as some districts did not provide the information. The abortion survivors were between 20 and 30 weeks gestation, and received no life-saving care.”

After several busy days of Conservative Party conference lobbying politicians and darting between fringe events, I decided to venture down enemy territory lane and attend the Dignity in Dying (DiD) panel fringe event. Contrary to what the media might have you believe, fringe events were packed, people spilling out like sardines into the corridors, and I often found myself turning up a good half-hour early just to secure a standing spot, never mind a seat sandwiched between two delegates.

Upon arrival at the DiD panel, it was the first room I had walked into where the room was full of empty seats.

On the panel sat the Rt. Hon. Kit Malthouse MP, Dr. Neil Shastri-Hurst MP, David Barker (Chief Executive, Willow Burn Hospice) Nick Hoile (Board Member for Dignity in Dying) and Rebecca Gillanders, a volunteer.

Zohran Mamdani is now the Mayor-elect of New York City. During his campaign, he “vowed to ‘protect New Yorkers from’ pro-life pregnancy centers which he accused of spreading ‘false or deceptive information.’” His threat refers directly to CompassCare. CompassCare runs the only three pro-life medical pregnancy centers in all of New York City. His threat mimics the lawsuit brought by pro-abortion activist Letitia James, New York’s Attorney General, who endorsed Mamdani’s mayoral bid.

Many people are asking how the newly elected, self-avowed, Islamic communist will impact the already battered Christian pro-life medical pregnancy centers like CompassCare. The Christian pro-life pregnancy network is already managing lawsuits with New York State Legislation, lawsuits with New York City ordinances, lawsuits from New York Attorney General Letitia James, Big Tech censorship, and security concerns of a resurgence of pro-abortion violence, emboldened by the revolutionary rhetoric from Marxist politicians in Democrat clothes.

Several years ago, I traveled to Amsterdam as part of the National Right to Life delegation for a multi-issue pro-family conference. The event brought together representatives from dozens of countries and organizations working in maternal health, children’s welfare, family policy, and religious freedom. Over the course of four days, the conference addressed a spectrum of bioethical concerns: euthanasia, adoption, trafficking, and the global expansion of abortion access under the guise of reproductive health.

Our delegation included Dr. Wanda Franz, then president of National Right to Life, and her husband, Dr. Gunter Franz, as well as Olivia Gans. We installed NRLC’s large exhibit booth in the main convention hall. It featured fetal development models, scientific literature, fact sheets, and multilingual brochures explaining the consequences of legalized abortion. The aim was to present abortion not as a theoretical concept but as a physical reality, one that leaves lasting scars on families and societies.

Was Epstein Offered Get out of Jail Free Card if he gave Comey Trump?

pgnewser November 7, 2025 0

A former cell mate of pedophile kingpin Jeffrey Epstein is alleging that former FBI Director James Comey’s daughter offered Epstein a sweetheart deal if he could deliver Trump to her. The daughter, Maureen Comey, had her job in the DOJ until very recently.

Nicholas Tartaglione claimed, “Prosecutors … told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Epstein’s crimes he would walk free. Epstein told me that [lead prosecutor] Maurene Comey said that he didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it.”

Blurb:

A former cellmate of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein said the multi-millionaire degenerate was given an offer to walk free if he could implicate Donald Trump in any crimes, a Wednesday report claimed.

What’s more, the prosecutor who the cellmate said gave Epstein the offer was the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, Maurene Comey.

James Comey was fired by Trump in May 2017, after which the then-former FBI director became one of the chief proponents of the debunked Russiagate hoax.

Former police officer Nicholas Tartaglione, who shared a cell with Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan after Epstein’s arrest on child sex-trafficking charges in 2019, said Epstein told him about the purported deal during the month between his arrest and death, the New York Post reported.

Tartaglione was convicted of kidnapping and murdering four men because he believed they had stolen money intended for a cocaine deal. In 2024, he was sentenced to four consecutive life terms, according to a Department of Justice media release.

Trump’s Nixing of Non-Binary Option on Passports Approved by SCOTUS

pgnewser November 7, 2025 0

In a vote of 6-3, the Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump has the constitutional authority to end the Biden-era non-binary option on passports. The ruling struck down lower court rulings halting the order.

DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer argued to the Supreme Court, “The President’s choice to revert to prior policy and rely on biological sex—a choice that bound the State Department—should be the last place for novel equal-protection claims or Administrative Procedure Act objections.”

Blurb:

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision on Thursday, allowed President Trump to enforce a new policy that has ended the use of the “X” marker on passports. The high court issued the decision in an unsigned order.

President Trump signed an executive order shortly after his inauguration, which directed agencies like the State Department and Homeland Security to issue IDs, including passports, visas, and Global Entry cards, based solely on biological sex assigned at birth.

This reversed prior allowances for self-selected genders, including “X” for unspecified. The anti-American ACLU represented transgender individuals who sued over the Trump Administration’s passport policy. Two liberal district court judges struck down the Trump Administration’s new passport policy.

It cannot be overstated: Zohran Mamdani’s Tuesday night victory in New York City’s mayoral race marked a watershed moment for both Muslim and socialist activists — not only across the five boroughs, but throughout the nation. The displays of hubris began almost immediately after Mamdani was declared the winner — and have shown no sign of slowing since.

One of the most revealing — and frightening — reactions came from an unidentified Muslim man who interpreted Mamdani’s triumph as nothing less than divine approval for Islam’s ultimate conquest of America.

In the video below, he told supporters:

We’re done hiding. We’re done being tortured and hurt and judged. This is the correct religion. This is the religion that all of humanity needs to be a part of Islam [sic], and we will not stop until it enters every home.

College alleges the public school system wants it to abandon its ‘religiously based hiring practices’

Moody Bible Institute, an evangelical Protestant college in Illinois, filed a lawsuit Tuesday alleging the Chicago public school system is discriminating against its student teachers because of its Christian mission.

“Chicago desperately needs more teachers to fill hundreds of vacancies, but public school administrators are putting personal agendas ahead of the needs of families,” Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Jeremiah Galus stated in a news release. The conservative legal organization is representing the college.

The school district declined to comment on the lawsuit when contacted Wednesday.

UMD student government passes resolution to ban IDF members from speaking on campus– www.thecollegefix.com

The student government at the University of Maryland passed a resolution Wednesday that seeks to ban Israel Defense Forces members from speaking on campus.

“The resolution came after a pro-Israel student group hosted IDF soldiers, which protesters disrupted by calling them ‘baby killers’ and comparing the IDF to the KKK,” the Jewish Journal reported.

According to the Diamondback student newspaper, the resolution — which passed unanimously — urges administrators “to condemn the hosting of the soldiers and change university policy so that student organizations and academic departments will not be able to host speakers who have been found, or are being actively investigated for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity or systematic human rights violations.”

The resolution is non-binding, meaning it only represents the opinions of the student government and is not enforcable.

The crux of the controversy centers on an event held Oct. 21 by Students Supporting Israel featuring three guest speakers, Israel Defense Forces soldiers, who shared “their experiences fighting for Israel before and after October 7, and their advice for us college students on standing up against antisemitism and anti-Zionism every day,” according to the group.

The event prompted a protest, during which four students, including two student journalists, were detained by police for an hour, the Diamondback reported; according to campus police: “Four people were in the hallway causing a disruption. This disruption included screaming, holding signs and recording their actions.”

The BBC has upheld a complaint against the newsreader Martine Croxall after she changed the term “pregnant people” to “women” and raised her eyebrows during a news channel broadcast in the summer.

The corporation said its executive complaints unit (ECU) had upheld 20 complaints about the broadcast. It said Croxall’s facial expression “laid it open to the interpretation that it indicated a particular viewpoint in the controversies currently surrounding trans identity”.

Under the BBC’s impartiality rules, news presenters are not permitted to express views on controversial topics. Croxall and the editorial team involved have been spoken to about the item.

Croxall received praise and criticism over the incident when when a clip of it went viral online. JK Rowling, who has made her gender critical beliefs clear, said Croxall was her “new favourite BBC presenter”.

Croxall had been introducing a news story about research on the groups most at risk during heatwaves. It was based on a study and news release by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

“Malcolm Mistry, who was involved in the research, says that the aged, pregnant people … women … and those with pre-existing health conditions need to take precautions,” she said.

Federal officials are charging more than a dozen law enforcement officers from Mississippi and Tennessee with accepting bribes from FBI agents disguised as cartel members. One of the worst offenders and best examples of the crimes being charged is Washington County Sheriff Milton Gaston. According to the indictment, he received “multiple monetary payments for his blessing for the cartel to operate in his county and use his deputies to protect the cartel’s illegal drug trafficking.”

All of the defendants agreed to “escort runs,” which the indictment claimed “ they were protecting the transportation of 25 kilos of cocaine, sometimes referred to as ‘birds,’ or, on October 5, 2023, the transportation of illegal narcotics proceeds, during the course of the investigation to build trust with the corrupt law enforcement officers, to lay the groundwork for future runs, and to take other action to further the drug trafficking conspiracy.”

In the fall of 2010, the Heritage Foundation was invited to send a speaker to a charter school class in the District of Columbia to discuss abortion. I was nominated for the task and arrived that morning at the Cesar Chavez Public Charter School for a back-and-forth with a representative from the D.C.-area Planned Parenthood.

The classroom had approximately 30 students, nearly all female and mostly freshmen and sophomores. It proved to be a good, low-key exchange, during which I learned the young women had been given a tour of a local Planned Parenthood facility. The classroom was not set up for audio visuals, and I had planned to dwell primarily on talking points about the value of life and setting behavioral standards necessary for personal success and happiness. But I did bring with me a set of visuals depicting the development of the child in the womb — straightforward prenatal biology and not violent images. The pictures were accurate and beautiful.

Woke Youth Flagship Magazine “Teen Vogue” Effectively Dies

Five years ago, the teen magazine that early on leaned into the toxic woke message had to stop printing. At the time, the woke defenders argued it didn’t go woke and broke, it’s just a victim of digital overcoming print media. Now, Teen Vogue is effectively being folded into Vogue as a section of the publication it originally came from.

R.I.P. TEEN VOGUE’S POLITICS SECTION

Teen Vogue is on death’s doorstep. Five years after the print magazine was discontinued, parent company Condé Nast announced Monday that Teen Vogue would be absorbed by sister publication Vogue and would focus on topics including “career development and leadership,” the New York Times reported. 

“I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers on other sections, and today is my last day,” a Teen Vogue politics reporter with “they/them” pronouns said on X. “Certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.”

Teen Vogue made a deliberate pivot during the era of Trump to focus on progressive politics and “female empowerment” while moving away from fashion, beauty, and pop culture. The shakeup gained national attention when journalist Lauren Duca published an article accusing President Donald Trump of “gaslighting” America and had a contentious interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, which we covered previously on this Substack. 

In the years following, Teen Vogue glorified radical progressive politics, leaning into or perhaps driving the increasing gender-based political divide among young voters. The publication consistently decentered women in favor of transgender and LGBTQ+ activism (see this profile of Elon Musk’s trans “daughter”). When women were the focus, it was to promote limitless abortion, Girl Bossing by violently fighting “fascism,” rejecting one’s family over political disagreements, sexual promiscuity, and steering women away from femininity and healthy long-term relationships.

A charity supporting victims of Muslim child rape grooming gangs has revealed that family members of predators have attempted to infiltrate their ranks to threaten women and girls seeking help.

While much of the focus of the grooming gang scandal has focused on the failures of local authorities and the gangs of mostly Pakistani Muslim men, which were given free rein to sexually exploit often young working-class white girls, a victims’ charity has claimed that there is a broader familial, tribal support network operating in the shadows behind the criminal operations.

Managing director of the Next Stage Youth Development charity, Paul O’Rourke told The Times of London that it is “really common” for family members of grooming gangs to worm their way into the charity to “threaten and intimidate” victims.

“Once the gang in Rochdale found out where those young people were, they tried to infiltrate — to get access to them, to interfere with them as witnesses, to threaten them,” he said. “They also tried to recruit them back into the grooming gang because they were still very vulnerable.”

Conservative politicians and Canadians are in an uproar after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a mandatory one-year sentence for possessing or accessing child pornography is “unconstitutional.”

The Supreme Court released its ruling on October 31 in a 5-4 decision. The court dismissed the Crown’s appeal of the ruling n 2025 SCC 33 (File No. 40882). The ruling upholds a Quebec Court of Appeal decision, meaning that in such cases moving forward it will be up to the judge to hand over a ruling.

The case was based on a recent argument made by two men from Quebec, who had pleaded guilty to child pornography offenses. The two had argued that a one-year jail sentence was a violation of their Charter right of not being a party to “cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.”

It was the Crown that had asked the Supreme Court to rule that having child pornography is a grave offense worthy of strict sentences, noting the harm it causes the victims and families.

New Pentagon Rules Will Supercharge the Exit of Transgenders From the Military – RedState– redstate.com

pgnewser November 5, 2025 0

Blurb:

A new Pentagon policy will severely restrict the ability of so-called transgender members of the Armed Forces to avoid discharge by convincing a separation board to retain them on active duty. Under previous policy, transgenders identified for discharge could appeal to a separation board to overturn the administrative process. The new policy permits commanders to set aside the separation board recommendation and require discharge.

One of President Trump’s earliest acts was to issue an executive order titled Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness. This order revoked a Joe Biden, or perhaps an autopenned, executive order which had encouraged transgenders to join the military and protected those currently on duty; see Executive Order 14004—Enabling All Qualified Americans to Serve Their Country in Uniform. That, in turn, had revoked an memorandum issued by President Trump during his first term that barred transgenders from service; see Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security Regarding Military Service by Transgender Individuals.

[Let me digress here for a moment to examine how the administrative process works under Republican versus Democrat administrations. Biden was able to revoke a Trump memo without issue. On the other hand, the memo written by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano that created the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals, or DACA/Dreamer, program has proved impervious to all attacks. Go figure.]

The current estimate is that about 4,200 transgenders haunt the ranks and about 1,000 of those have requested voluntary separation.

Let me be blunt: since the Wehrmacht’s surrender in Tunisia in 1943, the African continent has offered the United States almost nothing of major consequence to its national interest. Our engagement since has been a costly, sentimental fog of humanitarian gestures and posturing, achieving little while ignoring the realities of power.

Washington’s central failure is its refusal to see the continent as it is. There are two successful models for order that have worked over large portions of Africa. The first is the default of Muslim rule. This system, even at its most functional, offers a brutal and usually racist order that threatens to return to its foundations of slavery and massacre. It offers only occasional and temporary alignments with Western interests and is utterly incompatible with Western values.

The second real-world alternative is colonialism. This, at least, offers a framework for the values the United States claims to export—property rights, the rule of law, and functional infrastructure. However, America lacks both the will and the capability for such a project. Witness the blood-soaked two-century history of Liberia, nominally sovereign but in reality the United States’ only African colony. As John Stuart Mill, formerly a clerk of the East India Company, once wrote, the British Empire was “a vast system of outdoor relief for the British upper classes.” The US has never had an upper class big enough even to staff its embassies, much less to spare to rule great swathes of Africa with breeding, ability, and frigid hauteur.
