Pro-Life Democrat Quits Party: “Impossible” to Be a “Faithful Follower of Jesus Christ” and a Dem– www.lifenews.com

Blurb:

A Michigan Democrat state representative has announced she won’t run for reelection because her Christian faith is incompatible with remaining in her party, particularly considering its stances on social issues.

“For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today. I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture,” Rep. Karen Whitsett told a local news outlet on Monday.

“I will not be seeking reelection for this office, and I will not be running for any office ever again,” she added. “This is not a political calculation—it’s a spiritual decision.”

Whitsett told WDIV-TV Local 4 that she will remain civically engaged and support leaders across party lines who are committed to improving lives and strengthening families based on the Bible.

She mentioned specific social issues where she said the Democrat Party platform irreconcilably conflicts with the Bible’s teaching.

“That conviction includes the issues I cannot reconcile with Scripture: abortion, the normalization of the gay lifestyle, and the push to redefine gender,” Whitsett explained.

KATHMANDU, Nepal — Election officials were counting votes Friday, a day after a parliamentary election in Nepal which was the first nationwide poll since a violent, youth-led uprising forced the former government from power in September.

The Election Commission said they had begun vote counting in 53 of the 165 constituencies by Friday morning, and expect to begin work in the remaining areas by the end of the day.

Some of the polling stations are high up in remote mountain villages, which are accessible only by days of hiking, leading authorities to arrange the transport of ballot boxes by helicopter to counting centers.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he would consider dropping his senatorial bid if Congress would lift the filibuster in order to pass the SAVE America Act.

Paxton and Sen. John Cornyn are headed to a runoff in May after neither candidate secured a majority of the vote during Tuesday’s primary.

The SAVE America Act would require documentary proof of citizenship to register and voter ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. The legislation is overwhelmingly popular, with polling showing roughly 80 percent of Americans — including a large number of Democrats — support voter ID and citizenship requirements.

Notorious asteroid 2024 YR4 won’t crash into the moon after all– www.scientificamerican.com

Of all the asteroids that have imperiled the planet, 2024 YR4 is unparalleled. Soon after it was spotted in December 2024, worldwide telescopic observations quickly positioned it as the most dangerous space rock ever discovered—one that stood a 3.1-percent (or 1-in-32) chance of crashing into Earth on December 22, 2032. If it were to hit one of the cities potentially in its path, this 60-meter asteroid would have unleashed a force comparable to several atomic bombs, devastating the unfortunate metropolis.

An Earth impact was eventually ruled out in February of last year. But a late plot twist revealed 2024 YR4 stood a 4.3-percent (1-in-23) chance of slamming into our moon on the same date. Now, a concerted effort by astronomers indicates the asteroid will comfortably miss our alabaster companion too—by 21,200 kilometers.

Support For GOP Surges Eight Points Over One Month In Generic Ballot Poll– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Voters are giving President Donald Trump a modest boost on the economy — and Republicans a messaging edge heading into the midterms.

The latest Harvard CAPS / Harris poll shows the GOP has surged 8 points on the generic congressional ballot since January, pulling even at 50-50 after trailing at the start of the year. Among likely voters, Republicans now hold a 4-point edge.

That momentum comes as the February survey found 52% of voters say the economy is better today than it was under President Joe Biden, up 5 points from January. A narrow majority, 51%, now describe the U.S. economy as strong, a 2-point bump from last month and an 8-point jump since November.

Mario Cesar Dos Santos Jr. is facing deportation proceedings for allegedly handing out fake federal identification cards to fellow illegal aliens under the pretense the cards would shield them from deportation.

“We are eliminating certain Senior Service College (SSC) Fellowship programs for the 2026-2027 academic year and beyond.

It said this change will give leaders “a more rigorous and relevant education.”

Further, in a video posted on X,  Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said, “For decades, the Ivy League and similar institutions have gorged themselves on a trust fund of American taxpayer dollars only to become factories of anti-American resentment and military disdain.”

In the same clip, she is seen hugging strangers in New York. For Alinejad, those embraces were not theatrical. They were, as she later explained, acts of survival.Responding to comments about “hugging strangers”, she wrote that when you live in exile and cannot safely hug your own mother, strangers stop feeling like strangers. The people she embraced, she said, saw both joy and grief on her face. “That’s not performance.

It is extremely unlikely that the Islamic Republic of Iran can survive both this decimation of its leadership and the hatred of its people. The world owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to President Trump, although the left continues to excoriate him for taking out one of its favorite tyrants. The left loves oppression and bloodshed and will bring both to the U.S. if it regains the presidency.

“Trump to Fox News: 49 leaders taken out in Iran,” Fox News, March 2, 2026:

President Donald Trump told Fox News that the U.S. and Israel killed 49 of Iran’s most senior leaders in the opening strike of Operation Epic Fury on Saturday morning….

Trump told Baier that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was meeting with his inner circle for breakfast on the morning of the attack, thinking they were safe because it was in broad daylight.

“It was 49 leaders that were taken out. That was going to take four weeks, we thought, to get rid of the Iranian leadership. And it’s always, you know, if they hide, it’s a lot longer than four weeks. And they would have been hiding,” Trump told Baier. “We were shocked when we heard what was going on. We knew exactly what was happening and where.”

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — a polarizing hardliner who became the face of Tehran’s nuclear defiance and incendiary anti-Israel rhetoric — was reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes during Saturday’s strikes inside Iran.

During a 2005 conference titled “A World Without Zionism,” he quoted Iran’s founding leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, who had referred to Israel as “the occupying regime of Jerusalem” and a “disgraceful cancerous growth” that “must be wiped off the map.

Furthermore, Ahmadinejad was reportedly directly involved in the taking of the American Embassy hostages in 1979.

A report by the Israeli media outlet Ma’ariv stated that Ahmadinejad was under house arrest at the time and was killed in a targeted strike on his home. (NY Post)

Something appears to be laughably missing in Politico‘s Saturday story about the  June nonpartisan gubernatorial primary in California. Namely the front runner is a Republican, Steve Hilton, and another Republican is very possibly the second place candidate, both of whom would be facing each other in the November general election for governor.

Is it a mere coincidence that Politico writers Blake Jones and Lindsey Holden completely ignored them because they happen to have the taboo (R) by their names which are completely AWOL in “Why Swalwell and Steyer are surging in California governor’s race”?

The focus of the story (to the complete exclusion of Republicans) is made completely absurd by the inconvenient fact that Eric Swalwell is currently in either second or third place while Hilton is ahead of him according to the latest results from Emerson College Polling.

For years, corporate America has fallen all over itself to be applauded by activists like the Human Rights Campaign, falsely believing HRC’s approval meant they were doing something right and good for business. This year, hundreds of companies, realizing they’ve been led astray, marched the other way.

Participation in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI) was once treated as all but mandatory for Fortune 500 companies. But 2026 marks a cataclysmic collapse for that assumption.

In 2026, HRC saw a dramatic 65 percent drop in Fortune 500 CEI participation from 2025. And the number of companies achieving the “perfect” 100 score dropped approximately 30 percent from roughly 750 to 534. That’s not a rounding error. It’s a rapid retreat. And it’s overdue. But why such a dramatic shift? Why now?
