China leading citizens to jump from balconies in quest to achieve ‘COVID Zero’

China leading citizens to jump from balconies in quest to achieve ‘COVID Zero’

For over two weeks the financial capital of China, Shanghai, has been locked down tight. Some 26 million people languish in their apartments, staring at their now-empty refrigerators, unable to set foot outside to forage for food for fear of arrest and incarceration.

CNN’s Lies Revealed; Media’s Trump-Hate Has a History; A Look at Definitions

CNN has just breathlessly announced that it has uncovered a “vast trove of leaked documents show[ing] China underreported COVID-19 numbers” and deliberately covered up the seriousness of the epidemic.

The only trouble with CNN’s blockbuster is that it is almost a year old.

The Other Battle in Europe

The Other Battle in Europe

In Europe, events can happen quickly. We now have a war in Ukraine that a month ago we didn’t expect. But not even a European war will stop abortion boosters from continuing their own perpetual war to expand the abortion agenda.

How Big Pharma won its war against cheap, effective Ivermectin

How Big Pharma won its war against cheap, effective Ivermectin

LIVERPOOL, England (LifeSiteNews) - Providence will occasionally place a man at a key juncture of history, a position of great moment where the fate of millions lies in his hands.

Andrew Hill, M.D., was just such a man, in just such a position. In October 2020 he was asked by the WHO to review the rapidly accumulating evidence that Ivermectin was a safe and effective treatment for COVID.

The Monstrous Equality Act; Vaccine, Yes or No?; Defending America’s Faith

The Monstrous Equality Act; Vaccine, Yes or No?; Defending America’s Faith

The Equality Act Will Change Every Aspect Of American Life

On February 25, the House of Representatives, by a vote of 211 to 195, passed H.R. 5, the “Equality Act.” This act denies reality, embraces ideology, and forces others to conform to ideology as well. Indeed, H.R. 5 confers on every individual the right to change the reality of their sexual nature, and, having done so, to call upon the Federal Government to “make other men” conform to their choice, by force if necessary.

Does that make all men equal?

Well, we will be told, some men are more equal than others.

With US distracted by Ukraine, Xi is plotting his own invasion

From his perch on the mountaintop, Xi is closely following the fighting in Ukraine and the world's reaction. There is no doubt Xi hopes that Russian President Vladimir Putin succeeds in taking the former Soviet country. After all, Xi hopes one day soon to launch his own "special military action" against the island of Taiwan.

Pregnancy is beautiful and sacred. It confers hope on the family that brings new life into this world and to all of society. This is one of the many reasons we work so hard to protect the unborn and their mothers.

Abortion And The Demise of Legitimate Political Authority

Abortion And The Demise of Legitimate Political Authority

Some fifty years ago, in his groundbreaking study,  Twilight of Authority,  sociologist Robert Nisbet observed a disturbing trend in American culture. As respect for authority had declined among the population, he wrote, members of that population became increasingly willing to accept and even applaud an increasingly powerful, albeit less legitimate, government.

The chairmanship of the Council of the European Union rotates among the countries of the European Union every six months, and for the next six months it is President Emmanuel Macron of France’s turn.  So it was that on January 19th, Macron went to Brussels to give his first speech.  Usually this is a mishmash of platitudes, but this year Macron decided to use it to promote abortion.

Insurance company raises alarm over unprecedented spike in deaths…and they don’t seem to be from COVID

Catastrophic Spike in Life Insurance Claims

New numbers out of Indiana may finally be enough to blow up the “safe and effective” genetic vaccine fantasy once and for all. And they come, not surprisingly, from the head of a company that stands to lose a ton of money because of a sudden, unexpected, and historically unprecedented spike in deaths and disabilities among otherwise healthy individuals in the prime of life.

Losing the Pro-Life Stance in Mexico

Two recent sessions of Mexico’s Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation have sent a chilling message to pro-life advocates. While the Court routinely announces its decisions before its definitive opinion is made a matter of public record, the oral comments of its members during their deliberations on the two cases last week could indicate a serious weakening of Mexico’s long-standing opposition to abortion.

Long live the Right to Life – Viva Texas!

There are plenty of reasons to be a proud Texan – business friendly, tasty BBQ, top tier sports teams, Big Bend National Park, Whataburger and so much more. As a native Texan, devout Catholic and avid pro-lifer, today especially, I could not be prouder to call the great state of Texas home. Texas has always been known as the “friendly state” and with the Texas Heartbeat Bill recently enacted it just got friendlier to the unborn.

PRI is deeply saddened at the violence that took place at the U.S. Capitol, and mourn the deaths of US Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick and Air Force veteran Ashli Babbit, who was shot and killed inside the Capitol. The actions of a few, provoked by Antifa/BLM and other radical instigators, must not be used to defame the hundreds of thousands of pro-life, pro-family Americans who attended a peaceful rally to protest election fraud.

We intend to keep it that way.
