WORLDNETDAILY — What would possess a man who amassed a small fortune as a pre- and post-IPO partner at the world’s most prestigious investment bank to forgo a typical transition to a life of corporate board sinecures and the country club, and instead wage lonely war against a behemoth industry boasting an army of lobbyists? To hear Jack Ryan tell it, he is taking on the U.S. real estate industry today for the same reason he challenged the Illinois education establishment and teachers unions two decades ago: a strong sense of justice, ambition, and purpose – one he believes is for the common good....

REV. MARK H. CREECH — Philosopher, journalist, novelist, and diplomat Michael Novak said nearly 50 years ago: “We live in curious times. Choosing to have a family used to be routine. But so many, so varied, and so aggressive are anti-family sentiments in our society today that choosing to have a family has become an act of courage. To love family life…is to be marked today as a heretic.” Novak’s observation is no longer a curious matter, but a deeply entrenched reality.... (more)

BOB UNRUH — Arthur Engoron, the New York judge who found there was "fraud" by President Trump and his companies in a case where no one lost money and the "victims" wanted to do more business with him, now reportedly is under investigation, for possibly getting advice from a lawyer just before announcing a draconian $454 million fine against Trump....

FOX NEWS — (This story discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK-8255.) May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a needed spotlight because the most recent data show nearly 50,000 people died by suicide in America in 2022. This is heartbreaking, nearly 17 times the number of people killed from the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It’s the highest number ever recorded and the highest rate since 1941 – the Great Depression’s aftermath.... (more)

PJ MEDIA — On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon indefinitely postponed Trump's classified documents trial. "The Court also determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture—before resolution of the myriad and interconnected pre-trial and CIPA issues remaining and forthcoming—would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury," Judge Cannon wrote....

ERIK RUSH — This week, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after mounting sexual abuse claims and allegations of sexual misconduct by adults within the organization. Apparently, sexual abuse settlements have severely strained the BSA's finances; this has been exacerbated by some states having recently passed laws that allow victims to sue for damages even if the abuse occurred outside criminal statutes of limitations....

FOX NEWS — Officers from the New York Police Department went to two different universities on Friday morning to clear out anti-Israel agitators and break up demonstrations they held on campus. Officers first cleared an encampment at New York University, where they arrested several protesters and called cleaning crews to the area to remove tents and sweep away the trash left behind by the protesters. The NYPD was then called to take similar actions at The New School in New York. After the operations, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell spoke to reporters to confirm the NYPD took the actions "at the request of school presidents" and ultimately arrested 56 people, with no incidents, between both schools....

DENNIS PRAGER — I doubt that there is any national or religious group that produces the percentage of people who aid those who wish to hurt – let alone kill – that group as do Jews. When one observes Jews who defend those whose raison d'etre is the annihilation of the one Jewish country on Earth, you have to ask: Why are there no others like them? Were there blacks who defended slavery? Were there Armenians who defended the Turkish mass murder of fellow Armenians during World War I?... (more)

JOE KOVACS — Best-selling biblical author Jonathan Cahn says the course of history can be changed with one important element, and individual believers in the God of the Bible play a major role in altering history.

Prayer can change the course of history," said Cahn, who was speaking on the National Day of Prayer Thursday evening before a crowd of hundreds at an event hosted by the Treasure Coast Christian Alliance....

CLIFF KINCAID — I am pleased to report that we have posted my new analysis of the 2020 presidential election and how the 2021 J6 protest resulted in thousands of patriots being investigated by the FBI and hundreds of them imprisoned in America. It’s titled Stolen Elections, Murder, Corruption, and Deliverance, and paints an ugly picture of a communist “insurrection” in America. We are now living through a Communist revolution as the regime consolidates its power and attempts to imprison Donald J. Trump.... (more)

YOUTUBE — In an excellent interview by host Roman Balmakov of “Facts Matter,” author Eric Metaxas—the acclaimed biographer of anti-Nazi martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer—discusses the importance of professing Christians courageously and lawfully “standing up against” those godless elements in America and the world that seek to enslave all but the most powerful, while such resistance is still possible. A must-see interview.... (more)

AMAZON — Author Christopher W. Bogosh: Those who know Dr. Paul A. Byrne will identify those two hands gently clasping that tiny baby on the book’s cover as his. The picture speaks volumes about Dr. Byrne as a defender of life. After graduating from medical school and becoming a pediatrician, Dr. Byrne became a pioneering neonatologist in the 1960s. His work in neonatology improved the practice of medicine worldwide. However, it would be his conviction to defend life that would become his all-consuming passion.... (more)

THE FEDERALIST — Back in December, a viral video series on TikTok celebrated the DINK (dual-income, no kids) lifestyle, glorying in their ability to take European vacations, go crazy with bulk purchases at Costco, and splurge on their pets. At first, I thought it was a joke, though as Federalist Executive Editor Joy Pullmann helped me understand, these unabashedly materialist young American couples were quite serious. They really believed the freedoms they enjoyed sans children were a superior form of life to the supposed drudgery that defines the lives of us hapless parents.... (more)
