The lone juror in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has been taken to an undisclosed location to protect him from threats from feminists and other who support the mom who killed her three children.
Michael Desronvil was the holdout juror in the trial, that ultimately ended in a mistrial instead of a not guilty verdict thanks to his courage to not go along with the feminists on the jury who admittedly wanted to send a message by exonerating Clancy.
Several other members of the jury have since come forward with accusations that Desronvil had admitted to having doubt, which he has fully denied. And Desronvil and his family have endured doxxing and harassment since his name was first publicly announced this week.
Desronvil’s attorney, Edward Andrew Paltzik, confirmed he was representing the juror, and says he is a conservative Christian and “American hero.” In a lengthy post on social media bout Desronvile, he said Desronvil is “safe and sound at an undisclosed secure location.” ---More...
10 States Will Determine if Radical Pro-Abortion Democrats Take Over Senate
For starters, we can “know” nothing for certain with a month and a half to go until the November 3rd elections. Here are some basic facts. Republicans hold a small majority in the Senate and a razor-thin advantage in the House.
*The Senate has 53 Republicans and 47 Democrats (two are Independents but they caucus with the Democrats). There are 35 seats up in 2026, including special elections in Florida and Ohio. Republicans hold 22 of those 35 seats. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to take control. As of today,11 U.S. senators are not seeking reelection in 2026.
*All 435 members of the House of Representatives are up for election. There are 219 Republicans, 212 Democrats, with 4 vacant seats. Democrats would need a net gain of 6 seats to reach 218, which is the majority in the 435-member House. ---More...
Virginia, Vote No on the Abortions Up to Birth Amendment
When Virginia’s political version of that now-infamous Hyrox endurance race begins on the 18th, the question will not be whether we will push ourselves to the point of losing control over our bodily functions. It will be whether voters are turning out because of the congressional races or the constitutional amendments.
There is an interesting subtext to the abortion amendment that goes beyond the misleading, if not downright fraudulent, language that will be on the ballot. It is the part of the state constitution that the amendment seeks to change: Article I, Section 11.
Background first. Unlike the U.S. Constitution, the Virginia Constitution does not have its Bill of Rights attached as 10 amendments. Instead, those provisions appear at the beginning as Article I.
So, the section that would be amended if the measure passes (and survives court proceedings. Josh Hetzler of the Founding Freedoms Law Center is already working on that) is Article I, Section 11, the due process section:
“That no person shall be deprived of his life, liberty, or property without due process of law;” ---More...
California Spent 6 Weeks in Court, Can’t Find One Woman Hurt by Abortion Pill Reversal
Attorneys for Heartbeat International and RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics are hopeful for a good outcome in the first Abortion Pill Reversal case to reach trial in the United States. That hope comes following a three-year legal battle, a six-week bench trial, and three-and-a-half hours of closing arguments on September 17.
The People of the State of California v. Heartbeat International, Inc. and RealOptions concerns whether women may receive information about continuing their pregnancy after they start a chemical abortion and change their mind. The case has implications for pregnancy help and non-profits beyond California as the ruling could set a first-of-its-kind precedent for using consumer protection law against a nonprofit’s religiously based speech.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta is accusing Heartbeat International, the largest network of pregnancy help organizations in the U.S. and globally, and RealOptions, a network of faith-based medical clinics that provides both men’s and women’s health services through four licensed medical clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area, of misleading women about Abortion Pill Reversal. ---More...
Vote No on Proposition 1 in Idaho, Reject Abortions Up to Birth
As a woman that came of age in the late 60s and early 70s, I witnessed a young woman from my neighborhood who struggled with the results of free love. Let’s call her Tammy. Tammy was in love, engaged, pregnant, and a junior in high school.
Tammy did what many young women did, she consulted Planned Parenthood. Not seeking to end her pregnancy, but only support in completing high school with a baby, the clinic’s only advice was abortion. The pressure was overwhelming. Her fiancé’s parents sent him to the military and his support was gone. She felt alone and helpless.
Fortunately, Tammy met a nurse who told her she had options. Abortion was not inevitable because of a teenage pregnancy. Adoption was an option. After many tears, Tammy decided to give her child life, and a life with a couple who desperately wanted to cherish a child.
Thirty years later, Tammy met her child, now a successful adult. She was thankful. ---More...
