Some folks just want to do drugs while being on welfare in one of the wealthiest cities on Earth. If they wanted a home they could go to Midwest and buy something basic with a simple cash loan and work in McDonalds or Walmart.

Liz Murrill, Louisiana attorney general, told senators about her attempted prosecution of a New York doctor who prescribed abortion pills to a pregnant Louisiana 16-year-old after the girl's mother "coerced" her to get an abortion.

The girl was 20 weeks pregnant when her mother persuaded her to get an abortion, Murrill said.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul refused to extradite the doctor, Murrill said.

Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, said his mother was pressured by his father to have an abortion, which she refused.

"Think about the world we live in today with drugs like mifepristone and wonder if it existed then, would the outcome for [him] have been different," Husted said.

"I would like to think that my birth mother would have still chosen to have an adoption, but I've seen some of the horrors of men who are trying to use the drug to end pregnancies against the will of the woman that they give the drug to," he added.

Democrats at the hearing said restricting mifepristone would not stop coerced abortions.

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said while he believed coerced abortions should be prosecuted, restricting access to mifepristone by requiring in-person screenings would place burdens on women who voluntarily choose to terminate a pregnancy.

“You're going to see more incidents like this because people who are either brainwashed or lunatics are going to take matters into their own hands.”

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hit back against an Axios report that the White House told the Secret Service she may have tipped off Code Pink protesters about Trump's unscheduled visit to a DC restaurant she recommended, leading to an activist ambush that went viral on social media.

"Only the WH set up President Trump’s reservation at Joe’s, NOT ME!! I had ZERO knowledge of when his reservation was! The only people who could have tipped off Code Pink was the restaurant or the WH!" MTG wrote on X following the report, calling it " an ABSOLUTE LIE, A DANGEROUS LIE," and insisting "I would NEVER do that."

According to Axios, Greene had recommended "Joe's Seafood", a restaurant in Washington D.C., to the commander-in-chief as a last minute dinner location for his team.

The White House claims that after recommending the president go to Joe’s, Greene repeatedly called Trump staffers the day of the dinner to confirm he was going. After Trump heard about Greene’s outreach, he called her shortly before leaving the White House and confirmed his planned visit, the sources said. Greene, who was a regular at the restaurant, didn’t show up at the location when Trump and other officials were there, which struck some Trump aides as odd.

So, someone's lying...

The incident with Code Pink took place just one day before the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. With two separate attempts on Trump's life previous to his re-election, which the Secret Service notably botched both times - not to mention an endless array of violent actions on the part of progressive protesters in recent months, left-wing activists coming within proximity to Trump has become a national security concern.

White House aides pointed out that Greene has publicly touted her friendship with Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin in the past, writing on X Dec. 10:

“I have enjoyed a friendship with Medea for a few years now even though politics says that’s not allowed.”

“Marjorie is closer with the hosts of ‘The View’ than the president,” a former senior administration official said of Greene.

Public schools are not supposed to be protest tools.

The Heritage Foundation's internal upheaval is accelerating, with two fresh resignations from its board of trustees adding to a growing sense of instability at the once-respected conservative institution.

The two most recent departures from Heritage's board are Darryle Owens and Price Harding, bringing the total number of trustee resignations to five amid mounting controversy, donor unease, and staff defections, National Review reported.

Harding is chairman of one of the nation's leading executive search firms, and Owens is a former healthcare executive who has been active in conservative philanthropy.

The departure of two prominent businessmen further erodes confidence in Heritage as it reels from other recent departures.

Asked for comment about his resignation, Owens declined to comment. Harding has not responded to requests for comment.

Late last year Heritage found itself embroiled in controversy after its president, Kevin Roberts, refused to condemn and criticize commentator Tucker Carlson for platforming white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

Roberts also refused to criticize Carlson for his antisemitic tirades.

Three trustees quit last year in the wake of the scandal, including prominent conservative thinker Robert P. George, philanthropist Abby Moffat, and businessman Shane McCullar.

Top scholars have also defected from Heritage, including economist Stephen Moore and legal scholar Chris DeMuth.

Asked about the most recent departures of Owens and Harding, a Heritage spokesperson said the changes were part of a broader institutional overhaul.

"For some time, Heritage has been in the process of realigning the people within the institution to better orient ourselves to our mission and increase our impact," the spokesperson told National Review. "Changes in positions, from the board to staff, are a necessary part of this process."

Roberts' support for his friend Carlson has led to a meltdown within the organization, as the current trustees appear to be placing Heritage on an orientation away from Reagan conservatism and toward a more conspiratorial right led by podcasters such as Carlson and Candace Owens.

Zionist Organization of America President Morton Klein has criticized the organization and has urged donors to boycott Heritage until Roberts resigns.

Klein had served on Heritage's National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, or NTFCA, but quit the group in the wake of the Roberts scandal.

After a dozen Jewish and Christian leaders associated with the group also resigned, NTFCA decided to sever ties with Heritage altogether.

Vice President JD Vance stood before the podium in the White House briefing room on Thursday and delivered a master class in humiliating the left-wing activists within the disgraced White House Press Corps who cower behind a pretense of objectivity.

Our first clip is Vance obliterating CNN, the basement-rated, far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and encourages political violence.

Using his phone, Vance read a CNNLOL headline about Wednesday’s incident involving an ICE agent shooting a left-wing activist. Although it was a legitimate shooting in a blatantly obvious act of self-defense, CNN’s headline still reads “Outrage After ICE Officer Kills U.S. Citizen.”

Vance was having none of it.

“What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America,” Vance said. “What that headline leaves out is that that woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.”

“If the media wants to tell the truth,” he added, “they ought to tell the truth that a group of left-wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques, to try to make it impossible for the President of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws.”

Trump 2.0 boldly explained how the US intends to restore its “sphere of influence” over the Americas in accordance with the new National Security Strategy, thus representing a Hyper-Realist approach in the sense of explicitly embracing the pursuit of power as a goal instead of denying it like before.
