Don’t Read This Birth Control ‘Misinformation’ Unless You Want To Be Twice As Happy As You Are Now

Published

on

Nine months ago, nearly everything in my life was as good as could be. I was a newly married to my favorite person on the planet. Finances were in order. I lived in proximity to family and had a robust church community and loving friend group. I felt fulfilled in my work, among countless other big and small blessings.

So why was I an emotional wreck?

I’d never felt less like myself in my life — anxious, ragey, and sad almost all the time. What was wrong, my husband and girlfriends wanted to know. I couldn’t tell them. The answer was honestly and truly nothing.

Nothing except for one teensy thing: a tiny round pill I ingested every morning at the same time for years.

My doctor had prescribed me the oral hormonal contraceptive several years prior as a Band-Aid for stubborn acne. At the time, I was exasperated, desperate to try anything that would work to clear my adult skin — when I learned about the silver bullet of birth control.

To my doctor’s credit, before writing the prescription, she ran extra blood panels due to my family’s heart history and the known risk of blood clotting from The Pill. But when my tests came back clear, I eagerly filled that prescription, blissfully unaware of the possibility of other mental and physical side effects. 

Over time, they took their miserable toll — and in more ways than one. Beyond the extra emotional turmoil, I once bled inexplicably for

House Republicans Refer ‘Convicted Liar’ Michael Cohen To DOJ For Perjury

Published

on

A pair of top House Republicans are demanding the Department of Justice (DOJ) open up a criminal probe into former Trump attorney Michael Cohen for allegedly lying to Congress.

On Wednesday, the GOP chairmen of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland calling on federal law enforcement to examine Cohen’s 2019 testimony to Congress as evidence of perjury. Lawmakers first made the criminal referral on Feb. 28, 2019.

“Cohen’s testimony is now the basis for a politically motivated prosecution of a former president and current declared candidate for that office,” wrote James Comer, R-Ky., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, in the joint letter. “In light of the reliance on the testimony from this repeated liar, we reiterate our concerns and ask what the Justice Department has done to hold Cohen accountable for his false statements to Congress.”

Comer and Jordan outlined six specific times they say Cohen lied to federal lawmakers, including claims that he never committed fraud (Cohen pled guilty to fraud charges in 2018). Cohen was sentenced to three years behind bars following the guilty plea deal with federal prosecutors on charges of tax evasion, making false statements to banks, and violations of campaign finance laws.

Lawmakers said Cohen even admitted last year to lying to Congress in 2019.

“At a hearing in the politicized lawsuit brought by the New York Attorney General against President Trump, Cohen admitted to lying under oath during a 2019 deposition before [House Permanent Select Committee

Can Frat Bros Save The Republic?

Published

on

As protests erupted on college campuses across the country, many of them turning violent, videos of the demonstrations went viral on social media showing they were not merely “pro-Palestinian,” but blatantly anti-American. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, amid the chaos between the two sides was a moment of patriotism from an unexpected group of young men.

On Tuesday morning, pro-Hamas demonstrators managed to replace the American flag on Chapel Hill’s quad with a Palestinian flag. But they were faced with opposition from another small group of students: the fraternity members of Pi Kappa Phi. Videos and images of the men circulated on social media with many people commending them for protecting our nation’s flag. After weeks of appalling demonstrations by American college students, the character displayed by these young men should give us some hope for saving the republic.

Brendan Rosenblum, a junior and Jewish student at UNC-Chapel Hill, had water bottles thrown at him as he stood in the middle of the quad by with an Israeli flag while protesters tried to replace an American flag with a Palestinian one.

As the president of Phi Gamma Delta during my time at Michigan State University, the connection between patriotism and members of Greek life comes as no surprise. While they might be inconsequential to some, I learned a lot about this connection during my four years spent deeply involved with my

Joe Biden Is Selling Out Israel To The Antisemitic Mob

Published

on

Even as Joe Biden was delivering his perfunctory Holocaust Remembrance speech earlier this week, decrying the “ferocious surge” in antisemitism on college campuses and prattling on about how he would never forget the Oct. 7 attack — which saw over 1,300 Israelis murdered, raped, and kidnapped — the president was planning to stop the Jewish State from destroying modern-day Nazis.

Yesterday, Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett that if Israel invades the city of Rafah in Gaza — where remaining battalions of Hamas terrorists are holed up behind civilians — the U.S. would stop supplying Israel with offensive and precision weapons.

This is a historic moment, as it is surely the first time a president has sold out a stalwart U.S. ally to save a terrorist organization. And not just any terror organization, but one that murdered, sexually tortured, kidnapped — and still holds — American citizens. Biden has sacrificed them to the mobs of Columbia University and Dearborn, Michigan, and The Washington Post editorial board. Biden could have given Israel this ultimatum privately. But he went on TV to do it precisely because it is meant for the ears of Israel haters.

You may recall, only a couple of weeks ago Democrats insisted on attaching Israeli aid to Ukrainian aid as a means of garnering the votes to pass a foreign assistance bill. Biden is now pausing the congressionally approved delivery of weapons to one ally to bolster his domestic election prospects by appealing to campus radicals and antisemitic
