Excerpt:

As pro-life activists await pardons from President Donald Trump, a key Republican member of Congress is introducing legislation targeting the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy introduced a bill Tuesday to repeal the FACE Act, which “prohibits threats of force, obstruction and property damage intended to interfere with reproductive health care services.”

“Now that we have a Republican trifecta in the House, Senate, and White House, Congress should move quickly to repeal this law and ensure that no future president can weaponize it against pro-lifers ever again,” Roy said in a statement.

“Free Americans should never live in fear of their government targeting them because of their beliefs,” Roy has said. “Yet, Biden’s Department of Justice has brazenly weaponized the FACE Act against normal, everyday Americans across the political spectrum, simply because they are pro-life.”

“Our Constitution separates power between the federal government and the states for a reason, and we ignore that safeguard at our own peril,” he added. “The FACE Act is an unconstitutional federal takeover of state police powers; it must be repealed.”

The bill comes as 21 pro-life advocates like Bevelyn Williams await a prdon from President Trump.

Pope Francis praises ‘profound’ Buddhist religious revival in Mongolia without mentioning Christ– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

“By reviving traditional spiritual practices and integrating them into the nation’s development, Mongolia has reclaimed its rich religious heritage,” said Francis in reference to Buddhism, which is by far the majority religion in the country. The religious practice does not acknowledge God as Creator, let alone Jesus Christ.

During the reign of communism in the country from 1924 to 1992, Buddhism was brutally repressed, along with other religions in the country, and experienced a resurgence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in late 1991.

Francis has often met with Buddhists and praised their religion without calling them to convert to Catholicism, thereby neglecting what the Church has historically recognized is an essential part of true ecumenism, since it is a dogma that there is “no salvation outside the Church.” Christ Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)

Elon’s ‘Fascist’ Salute? Not So Fast, Says an Org That Would Know. – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

Elon Musk spoke at the Capital One Arena. Everybody knows that Musk is an awkward figure, and even his heartfelt speech included some awkward gestures. At one point, he told the crowd, “My heart goes out to you” and gestured by dramatically extending his hand from his heart toward the people in the arena.

Naturally, PBS News interpreted Musk’s gesture as a Nazi salute. Correspondent Stephanie Sy said:

We did see Mr. Musk during that speech and we saw the gesture. I don’t know whether the audience here interpreted it the way it was subsequently interpreted on social media. It certainly appears to be a “Heil Hitler.” At the time, what he was saying— we went back to the transcript, and I remember him saying it, he was saying, “My heart goes out to you.” So he was gesturing to his chest and then there was the hand straight out, which harkens back for a lot of folks to the Nazi salute. But we didn’t see that reaction here. There wasn’t a gasp or a pause or any even reinforcement of the gesture. So, it’s a little hard to tell, from where we sat, the meaning of it.

The DNC-controlled media committed more acts of treason and terror when it knowingly spread misinformation that Elon Musk made a Hitler salute during a celebration rally after President Trump’s re-election win. Musk made an awkward gesture clearly showing he was giving his heart, symbolically, to the people who made the victory possible.

The media ran with the fake report by CNN accusing Musk of making a Hitler salute with the express intent of triggering violent action against Trump, Musk, and anyone who supports them. So far, no GOP Attorney General has filed charges against the criminals that carried out this latest insurrectionist terror assault on the American republic.

Wasting no time with Godwin’s Law

Donald Trump has been the 47th president for barely 24 hours, yet the media and progressive academics wasted no time reigniting the “Nazi” theme following Elon Musk’s appearance at the inauguration.

According to the BBC, Musk told the crowd “My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilisation is assured,” and then “plac[ed] his right hand over his heart and […] thrust the same arm out into air straight ahead of him.”

Many on X, formerly known as Twitter which Musk owns, “likened the gesture to a Nazi salute.” This includes supposedly educated people.

Like Claire Aubin, a lecturer at San Francisco State University and UC Davis who “specializes in Nazism within the United States.” She said “My professional opinion is that you’re all right, you should believe your eyes” — that Musk did a “sieg heil” gesture.

Trump delays TikTok ban for 75 days– mashable.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to temporarily delay the U.S. TikTok ban, directing the Department of Justice to hold off on enforcing the controversial law for 75 days. This doesn’t mean TikTok has been saved, though.

Trump swiftly signed a slew of executive orders mere hours after his second inauguration as U.S. president on Monday, declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, abolishing the federal government’s diversity initiatives, and officially creating the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”).

Among these was Trump’s promised executive order regarding the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA), also known as the U.S. TikTok ban. In it, Trump directed the Department of Justice not to enforce the ban for two and a half months, allowing TikTok to temporarily continue operating in the U.S. without reprisal.

Google has told the European Union (EU) it will not comply with its new fact-checking law, according to a new report saying the massive search engine will not incorporate the measures into its search function nor YouTube video results.

Axios pointed out that this is not a practice that Google has ever engaged in and reported that the company had previously signaled to the international body that it would unlikely be integrating its new fact-checking practices.

Fox News Digital could not immediately reach Google to confirm what steps it takes to ensure the most legitimate posts are found through its search engine, given previous concerns over the effects of disinformation campaigns.

Why Chinese App ‘Red Note’ Is Just As Bad As TikTok– thefederalist.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

TikTok experienced downtime for a few hours on Sunday following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld a federal law requiring its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest ownership or face an outright ban in the U.S. by Jan. 19, 2025. President Trump intervened, however, announcing on Sunday that he would issue an executive order the next day to “extend the period before the law’s prohibitions take effect,” allowing time for a possible deal. As a result, TikTok quickly declared it was back in operation in the U.S.

Now America faces an even more dangerous data security landscape because, anticipating a looming TikTok ban, many American users had begun searching for alternatives. One app that has emerged as a popular choice for these so-called TikTok “refugees” is “Red Note,” a Chinese app that has rapidly gained traction in the U.S. Taylor Lorenz, a former tech writer for The New York Times and The Washington Post, has taken to X to encourage her followers to join her on Red Note, labeling it “the hottest new social app in America!!”

Red Note is owned by Xingin Information Technology, a company based in Shanghai. The app’s Chinese name is Xiaohongshu, which translates to “Little Red Book.” This name pays tribute to the small book containing quotes from the speeches and writings of Chinese Communist dictator Chairman Mao. During China’s Cultural Revolution, millions of Chinese citizens were required to carry these little books with bright red covers to study and memorize Mao’s words anytime and anywhere. The book was also a popular wedding gift during that era, as it was one of the few items readily available amid widespread shortages of other goods.

Keir Starmer to give statement on Southport attack inquiry – UK politics live | Politics– www.theguardian.com

Excerpt:

Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, has been giving interviews this morning, where he was restated Tory suggestions that ministers wrongly withheld information from the public about the Southport attacker, Axel Rudakubana, last summer. This is what Philp told Times Radio.

I think it’s just important the inquiry looks at all of this, gets to the truth both about what happened beforehand, but critically also the government’s response afterwards, and what they knew when and whether they should have put more information into the public domain.

It appears they withheld information about the perpetrator, potentially, on CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] advice.

William Shawcross [who conducted an inquiry into Prevent, the anti-radicalisation programme] has raised questions over that, saying that if you leave a void, then speculation fills it, and William Shawcross is obviously an expert lawyer, and also says there’s quite a lot you can say about these incidents afterwards.

But clearly in this case, the government, it appears, didn’t share information which they had in their possession.
