Men are using mail-ordered abortion pills to poison women. Why won't DOJ act?

 Look at the evidence.

In his address to the nation on election integrity, President Donald Trump declassified compelling evidence that America’s elections are vulnerable to manipulation, from noncitizens voting to foreign interference. The president argued that the evidence demands action by Congress to protect one of the most sacred rights of American citizens, the right to vote.

The principle applies elsewhere. When the evidence is clear, it demands action.

Compelling evidence of a different kind was presented this past week during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearing for Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche. More proof was presented that unborn babies are losing their lives through the abortion drug mifepristone, and increasingly, the drug is being obtained through the mail by men who secretly administer it to the mothers of their unborn children.

Alabama Senator Katie Britt (R) recounted the story of Jona Affholder. After Jona refused to abort her baby, her boyfriend, Hassan-James Abbas, an Ohio medical resident, allegedly used his ex-wife’s identifying information to obtain abortion pills online to poison Jona and kill their unborn child. As Senator Britt observed, “Her story is one of many.”

The evidence supports Britt’s claim.

Last month, Army Captain Brandon Jones-Adams was convicted of secretly placing mifepristone into the drink of a junior enlisted soldier he had impregnated, causing the death of their unborn child.

These are not isolated crimes. They expose the deadly consequences of policies making abortion drugs easier to obtain through the mail with fewer safeguards and less accountability.

Why was this evidence presented during the Attorney General’s confirmation hearing? Because the Department of Justice has the authority to reverse one of the key policies making this possible.

Following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision in 2022, the Biden administration sought to undermine the decision by expanding access to chemical abortion. It relaxed the FDA’s Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), removing the long-standing requirement for in-person dispensing and medical oversight.

But another obstacle remained: the Comstock Act, an 1873 federal law prohibiting the use of our mail system to send articles intended for abortion. Rather than enforce that law, the Biden Justice Department issued an opinion concluding that abortion drugs could be mailed unless the sender specifically intended an illegal abortion. In effect, the government said, “Presume lawful use and ask no questions.”

That DOJ opinion remains in effect today under the Trump administration. Unlike the FDA’s REMS policy, which is being challenged in court, the Justice Department can withdraw and replace that opinion without waiting for Congress or the courts.

The evidence also shows these cases are part of a much larger trend. Since Dobbs, abortions have increased by roughly 20% nationwide, with the abortion pill now accounting for approximately 65%.

The evidence demands action. If evidence of election vulnerabilities justifies action to protect the right to vote, then evidence that existing federal law is being ignored to the detriment of women, unborn children, and the laws of nearly half the states demands action as well. President Trump should direct the Department of Justice to review the Comstock Act, withdraw the Biden policy, and enforce the law as Congress enacted it.

If safeguarding the right to vote is fundamental, and it is, safeguarding the right to life is foundational.


The evidence is clear: Enforce the Comstock Act on abortion pills

State Dept: Cuba Set ‘Infiltrating American Universities as a Top Priority,’ Fueling Campus Unrest

 The State Department published an extensive report on Monday detailing how the Communist Party of Cuba has invested over half a century in the infiltration and destruction of American politics, accusing the communists of setting the infiltration of campuses as a “priority.”

The NAACP promotes the trans madness now?

 For generations, the NAACP stood as one of America's most important defenders of human dignity. It confronted segregation, fought racial injustice, and championed equal protection under the law, appealing to the nation's moral conscience and calling America to live up to its founding ideals.


That moral authority is being squandered.

The NAACP's recent defense of trans athletes competing in women's sports, articulated in its statement, “NAACP Stands with Transgender Athletes Following Supreme Court Ruling,” represents more than a policy disagreement. It reveals a profound identity crisis within an organization that once claimed to speak on behalf of black Americans and the cause of justice.

The civil rights movement did not succeed by accident. It succeeded because it rested on transcendent truths. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of natural law, God's justice, and the moral order of the universe. He did not argue that truth was subjective or that reality could be reconstructed according to personal preference. He appealed to eternal principles because he understood that rights are secure only when grounded in something higher than political power. That is the inheritance the NAACP is now spending down.

The issue here is not hatred, discrimination, or the worth of any individual — every person is created in the image of God and deserves dignity and respect. The question is narrower and harder: whether justice requires society to deny biological reality, and whether one group's claims should supersede the rights and opportunities of another.

There is a tragic irony in how far the answer has drifted from the movement's foundation. The civil rights movement was built upon objective realities — black Americans could not change the color of their skin, and they faced discrimination because of immutable characteristics. The trans movement, by contrast, asks society to affirm that biological sex itself is subjective, and that deeply held feelings should override objective realities. These are fundamentally different claims. To equate them is not only historically inaccurate but morally confusing — and it is exactly the kind of claim King's appeal to natural law was built to resist.

For decades, the NAACP rightly opposed arbitrary barriers that denied black Americans equal participation in society. Now it advocates policies that could deny female athletes fair competition and scholarship opportunities by allowing biological males to compete in women's sports. That is not a defense of equality; it is the replacement of one perceived injustice with another.

The NAACP's embrace of this ideology has left many black Christians and social conservatives wondering whether the organization still represents them at all. The black community remains overwhelmingly rooted in the church and has historically affirmed marriage, family, and the biblical understanding of male and female. Yet the NAACP increasingly aligns itself with the most progressive cultural movements while showing little interest in representing the convictions of millions of faithful black Americans.

Who, then, is the NAACP speaking for?

The organization that once challenged the cultural elites of its day now appears eager to gain their approval. Instead of standing on the transcendent principles that once made it formidable, it follows the latest ideological trend. Many Americans — black and white, Democrat and Republican, religious and secular — are increasingly uncomfortable with policies that force women and girls to sacrifice fairness in the name of inclusion.

The tragedy is not merely political. It is moral. The NAACP's support for trans ideology is part of a broader trend in American institutions: the substitution of feelings for facts, ideology for biology, and activism for wisdom. In seeking to be culturally relevant, they become morally unmoored — and justice cannot be sustained when truth itself becomes negotiable.

The black community does not need organizations that echo the latest cultural fashions. It needs leaders willing to defend truth, protect women and girls, strengthen families, and uphold the moral principles that have sustained our communities through generations of adversity. The future of civil rights depends not on abandoning reality but on recovering it.

As I have often argued through the R.I.S.E. Principles — Responsible Government, Individual Liberty and Fidelity, Strong Family Values, and Economic Empowerment — lasting justice requires moral clarity. Without truth there can be no justice. Without moral conviction there can be no genuine progress. And without a willingness to stand against the cultural currents of the day, even our most venerable institutions can lose their way.

The NAACP once helped America confront its moral failures. Today, many Americans are asking whether the organization has confronted its own.

Trump Is Righting Latin America

 

  • In Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, a center-right businessman with a pro-security platform, took office, winning in late 2023 against leftist Luisa González. His successes netted him a re-election victory in 2025.
  • In Panama, right-wing candidate José Raúl Mulino won in May 2024, focusing on security and the economy.
  • In 2025, President Trump arrested Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a swift, early-morning operation, accomplishing what previous administrations had promised. Maduro was arrested for rampant drug trafficking and terrorism. His successor has acquiesced to American diplomatic and business overtures while releasing political prisoners.
  • In Bolivia, Christian right-wing contender Rodrigo Paz Pereira ended twenty years of communist rule under Evo “Evil” Morales. Whoever said that you cannot vote your way out of communism?
  • In Chile, conservative Catholic José Antonio Kast won in late 2025 following a run-off, defeating a long-standing activist left-wing government which had sought to scrap Chile’s previous conservative reforms, including free market policies and school choice.
  • Honduras: Nasry Asfura (right-wing National Party) won in late 2025, defeating a leftist incumbent's ally.
  • Costa Rica: Laura Fernández Delgado (conservative/right-wing populist) won in February 2026. She campaigned aggressively on a pro-family platform, as well, denouncing the evils of abortion (just as Milei had done!)
  • Peru: Keiko Fujimori, daughter of populist former President Alberto, just won in June 2026.
  • In Colombia, another conservative Catholic, Abelardo de la Espriella, has replaced another left-wing narco-state-allied regime.

Look across Latin America today. The right is on the march, cleaning out the wreckage of socialism and communism. Free market reforms are ascending. Rejection of authoritarian regimes, recognition of the state of Israel, friendly concourse with the West, and en masse crackdowns on crime and corruption are redefining the region.

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz offered a profound vision regarding the incredible political rightward shift washing across Latin America:

[I]f that happens, this would be the most consequential geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall, since America won the Cold War without firing a shot.

The Socialist wave isn’t about Trump — it’s the Democrat Party’s reality

 This year has seen socialists make their furthest inroads into “mainstream” American politics than any time since the early 20th century.

Even though this is clearly a phenomenon manifesting itself within the Democrat Party, more than a few media commentators have incorrectly attempted to tie this socialist red wave to President Donald Trump.

A recent editorial in the Wall Street Journal titled, “Trump Opened the Window for the DSA,” argued essentially that Trump is just so mean and awful, he’s caused so much derangement on the Left, that they decided to embrace communism to stop him.

“Both his genuine sins and his imagined ones handed the left permission to come unglued, pushing otherwise serious but mainstream left-leaning ideologues to adopt positions they would have laughed at a decade ago,” the authors argued. “The radical, dangerous and merely stupid are not only permissible but mandatory.”

Undergirding this argument is the absurd premise that to stop Democrats from becoming bloodthirsty communists we just have to be nicer to them — unlike that meanie Trump — and maybe give them what they want.

But this argument is bunk for several reasons, a significant one being the words of the insurgents who’ve been quite clear that their movement is only tangentially about the president.

Here’s a socialist victory party in New York City where the attendees shouted, “you’re next,” directed at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Not exactly someone likely to be sporting a MAGA hat.

When Melat Kiros, the newest socialist darling who won her House primary in Colorado was asked if she supported Jeffries she said, according to the New York Post, “I’m not supporting anyone for leadership who takes corporate PAC money. I’m dead serious about this issue. We have to start setting a standard now.”

It’s clear when you listen to what the socialists have to say they are directing their fire mainly at the Democratic Party establishment. They aren’t just about opposing Trump. They are about bringing about a socialist revolution, and obliterating Israel, of course.

The Democratic Party and its media allies can hardly be accused of going soft on Trump over the years. They’ve pretty much pulled out the stops to ruin him for over a decade. From accusing him of being a Manchurian candidate, to multiple impeachments, to nearly throwing him in jail, they’ve broken pretty much every political norm to crush the “bad, orange man.”

South Carolina passes bill to ban 'debanking' based on religious, political beliefs

 South Carolina has banned large financial institutions in the state from engaging in “debanking” amid allegations that some large banks have cut off financial services to individuals and organizations based on their political and religious beliefs.

South Carolina Republican Gov. Henry McMaster signed House Bill 5538, also known as the Guarantee Banking Act, into law Tuesday. The measure passed without opposition in the Republican-controlled South Carolina House of Representatives. Only two members of the Republican-controlled South Carolina Senate voted against it.

The legislation is scheduled to take effect at the start of the new year and prohibits financial institutions from taking actions that “discriminate in the provision of financial services to a person.”

It defines discrimination as “taking an adverse action against a customer” based on the customer’s “exercise of religion that is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, federal law, or the Constitution or laws of this state, including all aspects of religious observance and practice, as well as belief and affiliation.”

The law also defines discrimination as taking adverse action against a customer based on the customer’s “speech, expression, opinions, expressive activity, or association that is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, federal law, or the Constitution or laws of this State, including the lawful preservation of privacy regarding those activities, such as declining to disclose contributions or political activity beyond what is required by applicable state and federal law.”

Banks with more than $100 billion in total assets, as well as credit card companies and payment processing platforms, are subject to the new law. Examples of prohibited adverse actions include closing checking and savings accounts or terminating access to money transfers, loans and credit cards.

EU turning a blind eye to arrests of Armenian church leaders, letter says

 The European Union has been accused of turning a blind eye to the Armenian government’s actions against the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Opposition leader Samvel Karapetyan, a businessman and Russian national who has been held in detention and is now under house arrest, instructed his legal representatives, Amsterdam & Partners LLP, to initiate legal action against the EU for its support for Armenia.

In a legal letter, the EU is accused of standing by Pashinyan’s government and presenting it as a democratic success story, despite ongoing concerns about its treatment of opposition figures and the Armenian Apostolic Church, which dates back to the fourth century.  

Tensions between church and state in the country have increased since Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan came to power in 2018. Relations deteriorated even more sharply following Armenia’s defeat in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.

Several bishops have been arrested, while the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Catholicos Karekin II, has been barred from leaving the country. Critics have accused Pashinyan of acting like a Soviet-era dictator.

For his part, Pashinyan has said he is attempting to save the church from “anti-Christian” and “anti-state” elements. Senior church leaders have been accused of supporting the violent overthrow of a democratically elected government and of condoning calls for the assassination of government ministers.

In the letter, Karapetyan’s legal representatives questioned the validity of Armenia’s recent parliamentary election. Karapetyan’s Strong Armenia party received 23% of the vote, less than half the 49% achieved by Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party.

The election result has been challenged in the courts by Strong Armenia, although the party has said it has little faith in the independence of the courts.

Robert Amsterdam, managing partner of Amsterdam & Partners LLP, said, “The European Union has not acted as a neutral observer. It has chosen to align itself with a government that has overseen widespread arrests, targeted its critics, attacked the Church and weakened democratic safeguards.
