May Jobs Report: Only 75,000 Jobs Added, Unemployment Rate Still Low

Posted by Mary Chastain on June 07, 2019 10 Comments

May's jobs report is not great, but not necessarily bad. It does not help that the Labor Department revised down the otherwise great April and March jobs reports. The economy only added 75,000 jobs, but the unemployment rate stayed at 3.6%.

Biden Flips Again on Hyde Amendment, Now Supports Taxpayer Funded Abortions

Posted by Mary Chastain on June 07, 2019 5 Comments

Vice President Joe Biden had a tough week, especially on the abortion topic. He also proved, at least to me, that he will say and do anything to get elected. On Wednesday, Biden supported the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding for abortions, then opposed it before his campaign said later in the day Biden supported it. After a lashing from opponents and activists, Biden announced on Thursday he does not support the Hyde Amendment.

Poll: Americans Believe Fake News is a Bigger Threat Than Illegal Immigration, Terrorism

Posted by Mary Chastain on June 05, 2019 15 Comments

We have witnessed the mainstream media collapse due to Trump Derangement Syndrome, but I have also seen people on Facebook share supposedly conservative news that is also not true. Fake news has made it hard to trust the news. Who do we believe? What do we believe? If we do not have faith in the press to tell us the truth, where will we go? It has become an actual problem. The Pew Research Center discovered that Americans believe fake news is more of a problem than terrorism, climate change, and illegal immigration.

Biden Supported the Hyde Amendment Before He Opposed It Before He Supported It

Posted by Mary Chastain on June 05, 2019 6 Comments

Former Vice President and current 2020 Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Biden's stance on abortion has always confused people. As a Catholic, he holds the pro-life view, but let's be honest. You cannot go far in the modern Democratic Party with a pro-life perspective. The confusion came to the forefront today since it seems like Biden flip-flopped on the Hyde Amendment that bans federal funding for abortions. His opponents jumped on the remarks, which makes me think his pro-life voting records on abortion as a senator could come back to haunt him.

Mueller Spokesman Denies Michael Wolff’s Claim He Drafted Indictments of Trump

Posted by Mary Chastain on May 28, 2019 14 Comments

Remember when everyone on the left gushed over Michael Wolff's book Fire and Fury about President Donald Trump's White House even after he admitted it has parts that are not true? Well, Wolff wrote another book called Siege: Trump Under Fire, which The Guardian obtained. Wolff claimed Special Counsel Robert Mueller "drew up an indictment of Trump that named three counts of obstruction of justice." Mueller's spokesman immediately shot down Wolff's claims.

Justice Clarence Thomas Provides History Lesson on Abortion, Eugenics and Racism

Posted by Mary Chastain on May 28, 2019 17 Comments

The Supreme Court upheld an Indiana law that required a burial or cremation of an aborted human being, but decided to provide an unsigned opinion on the portion of the law that bans abortion based on sex, race, and disability. Vice President Mike Pence signed the bill into law in 2016 when he served as governor of Indiana. Justice Clarence Thomas issued an opinion in support of the Indiana law on abortion restrictions due to eugenics using abortion as a form of eugenics on minorities.
