(Life News) Vice President JD Vance delivered his inaugural public address at the 52nd annual March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. today.

In his speech, Vance celebrated the pro-life movement’s recent achievements, notably the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. He praised President Donald Trump’s role in appointing pro-life judges and pardoning two dozen pro-life activists whom he described as “unjustly imprisoned.”

Vance emphasized the administration’s commitment to pro-life policies, stating, “Our country faces the return of the most pro-family, most pro-life American president of our lifetimes.”

(PJ Media) Embattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass made her big play this week to rebuild Pacific Palisades in her own image. Needless to say, it won't be pretty.

During what the Los Angeles Times called "a freewheeling half-hour walking tour in Pacific Palisades," with reporters and "chief recovery officer" and former LAPD commissioner Steve Soboroff, Bass announced that the city plans to hire "an outside consultant to handle a significant rebuilding contract for areas devastated by this month’s Palisades fire," as the Times put it.

“They’re going to represent you and make sure that everybody does exactly what they say they’re going to do,” Soboroff told reporters.

(Washington Stand) Last week began in the Capitol Rotunda with President Donald Trump taking the oath of office to become the 47th president of the United States. Over on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid — offering color commentary — lamented the occasion and asked, “How is this happening in America?”

I found that question a bit amusing, not out of delight in their angst, but because only four years ago, conservatives were asking the same thing when Joe Biden took office. And, after four years of that administration, many more were left wondering how it happened. But that’s another commentary.

(The Federalist) A judge dismissed the Department of Justice’s case against a doctor who uncovered secret transgender procedures on kids, assenting to a motion from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice.

U.S. District Judge David Hittner dismissed the partisan lawfare today against doctor Eithan Haim, who exposed Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) for performing hidden transgender interventions on children.

Biden’s DOJ had been prosecuting the doctor, but Trump’s DOJ moved to dismiss the case today, as reported by Christopher Rufo, the conservative activist who broke the original story.

(PJ Media) In 2022, states received $189 billion in funding for primary and secondary schools. The funding was supposed to go to programs that would allow kids to make up for the lost learning they were forced to experience during the pandemic.

Standardized test scores had fallen to levels not seen in forty years or more. The infusion of cash would, as the Biden administration promised, help kids catch up.

The most closely watched standardized test for primary and secondary school children is the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). It's called "The Nation's Report Card" because more students take this test than any other standardized test.

(The Federalist) Only 10 days into President Donald Trump’s second term it’s abundantly clear that Christians who opposed his presence in the White House and condemned their brethren for supporting it have some repenting to do.

Never Trumpers spent the last decade weaponizing their faith to demonize Christian Trump supporters. By the time the 2024 election rolled around, they had proudly endorsed the radical, openly anti-Christian Joe Biden stand-in for president. According to them, mean tweets and a bad spray tan were far worse than a regime that made a point out of throwing praying grandmas in prison.

(Harbinger's Daily) In January of 1945, The Death Camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated. What should have been a harsh lesson learned by humanity has slowly eroded and is running the risk of becoming what the late French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen called “a hick up of history.” The torture, bloodshed, and ashes of the Holocaust should remain a scar on the face of humanity, but not an open wound upon which more salt is thrown.

I will never apologize for reminding people about the horrors of the Holocaust. Sure, it probably has something to do with the loss of my maternal grandfather, Maurice Weinzveig, at Auschwitz in 1942. May his memory be a blessing! But it goes way beyond my loss and should hit a nerve with people of goodwill around the world, Jews and Gentiles alike. The memory must live on!
