Cleveland Clinic Scrubs Website of Pages Pushing Gender Ideology

Cleveland Clinic

A major healthcare system in Ohio is quietly scrubbing pages promoting gender ideology and equity initiatives from their website, after the launch of an investigative campaign highlighting their “woke” policies.

Conservative organization Consumers’ Research launched a campaign Feb. 12 claiming Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, a major healthcare system with more than 300 locations, has infused a political agenda into their patient care. The multimedia campaign includes a website that links to materials published by Cleveland Clinic which Consumers’ Research says shows support for race-based care, gender ideology, and climate activism. The campaign included mobile billboards in Ohio, as well as a TV ad that aired during an professional basketball game and asked “Is Cleveland Clinic the wokest hospital in America?”

Pro-Life Advocacy Groups Optimistic After RFK Jr. Confirmed as Health Secretary

RFK Jr

Pro-life advocacy groups are saying they see Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a man who changed his mind. The newly confirmed secretary of health and human services has apparently shifted to align with President Donald Trump’s pro-life agenda during his Senate confirmation hearings after openly supporting abortion policies for most of his public life.

The Senate confirmed Kennedy to the office of HHS secretary by a 52-48 vote late Thursday morning after Democrat senators filibustered into the night to oppose the confirmation of the Democrat and former independent candidate for president. Now, pro-life advocates are expressing optimism about the future of their cause under his leadership.

Commentary: The Democrat Party’s Self-Destruction

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

The Democratic Party is polling about 31 percent approval, a near-historic low.

Despite enjoying a huge lead in fundraising, legacy media favoritism, and incumbency, in the 2024 election, Democrats lost the White House to Donald Trump. Ever since, they have offered nothing new, no novel agenda, no innovative policies—nothing other than screaming that they are loudly against everything and anything that the president is for.

Commentary: Trump’s Outside-the-Box Thinking Could Spark Supply-Side Revolution Not Seen Since Reagan

President Ronald Reagan with Donald Trump in 1987

President Donald Trump is opening up new frontiers for wealth creation around the world. How so? By advancing the supply side.

A half-century ago, supply-side economics burst onto the national stage thanks to the energy and charisma of former Republican New York Rep. Jack Kemp. Back then, in a time of high inflation and slow growth, Kemp argued that tax-rate reductions would increase the supply of goods, as producers were incentivized to make more. So prices would be lowered as new jobs and profits were created.

Commentary: Republicans Must Throw Wrench in Dems’ Plan to Slow-Walk Trump’s Nominees

Chris Murphy

The Senate’s unanimous 99-0 confirmation of Marco Rubio as secretary of state was a rare moment of unity and bi-partisanship. For many Americans, it gave us hope that President Donald Trump’s Cabinet and Senate confirmation appointments would receive a fair and balanced process. 

Sadly, it appears that this is not going to happen. The real battle over Trump receiving the Cabinet and other appointment confirmations he deserves is just beginning. Democrats, led by obstructionists like Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, are already maneuvering to delay votes on other crucial appointments. This obstruction is a direct attempt to weaken the administration and stall progress.

Commentary: Democrats Can’t Bully Their Way to a ‘Free Pass’

Democrats gather on the House floor

I believe in restraint, tradition, decorum, and the precepts of our system of criminal justice: deterrence, punishment, and retribution. Turning the other cheek accomplishes none of these. Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons for his family, and his unprecedented preemptive pardons for members and staff of the January 6 Committee, Anthony Fauci, and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mike Milley, underscore the necessity for Congress and Donald Trump’s Justice Department to perform their duties to investigate crime.

Lee Zeldin Tells Senator He ‘Doesn’t Believe’ in ‘Armed Bureaucracy’ When Asked About ‘Outrageous’ EPA Raid

Lee Zeldin

Former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York said Thursday he believed the Environmental Protection Agency should not be an “armed bureaucracy.”

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) carried out a raid with dozens of armed agents on a mine near Chicken, Alaska, in August 2013, according to Fox News. Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska asked Zeldin, who President-elect Donald Trump nominated to serve as EPA administrator, about the use of armed agents to conduct raids during a Thursday hearing, saying that the Biden administration was conducting armed raids similar to the 2013 raid on “small mechanic shops” in his state.

Vice President Kamala Harris has not extended a formal invitation to JD Vance and his family for a tour or sit-down at the Naval Observatory, where they are scheduled to move on Jan. 20, multiple sources from both parties disclosed to CBS News.

As Vance, his wife Usha, and their three young children prepare to move into the Naval Observatory residence on Jan. 20, they will set foot in the mansion for the first time—a residence that has hosted vice presidents since the 1970s. In a bid to prepare the home for their children—all under the age of eight—the Vances, through intermediaries, reached out to the current occupants, Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, last November.

Commentary: If You Care About Healthy Food, Confirm RFK Jr.

Mollie Engelhart, Robert F. Kennedy Jr

As a vegan chef turned regenerative cattle rancher, I’ve traversed the narrow divides between two worlds: the health-conscious, progressive enclaves of Los Angeles and the rugged, often misunderstood landscapes of rural Texas. For years, I lived and breathed the principles of organic farming and plant-based eating, firmly rooted in the belief that our food systems should be safe, resilient, and free from harmful chemicals. My community was predominantly left-leaning, passionate about clean water, food safety, and the dangers of over-medication. It felt like common sense.

Commentary: Joe Biden Adds to His Shameful Legacy

Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden

We watched as Joe Biden (and his handlers) continued to dishonor the Office of the Presidency as he finally exits the political stage in little more than two weeks. Last week, in a clearly partisan effort, he cheapened the prestige of the nation’s second highest civilian honor, the Presidential Citizens Award, awarding it to J6 Committee chair and vice chair Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney who were complicit in deleting records before the GOP retook control of the House of Representatives in 2022. But on Saturday, he outdid himself with many of his selections for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian honor.
