From the article -- Of course, this question Valenti refers to, “whether or not to have a child,” is really a question of whether or not to kill your existing child.
Valenti concludes that this decision of whether or not to kill your baby is just the same as sitting around your kitchen table with your spouse and deciding whether to change to a cheaper phone plan or spend less on eating out that month. Valenti concludes that this decision of whether or not to kill your baby is just the same as sitting around your kitchen table with your spouse and deciding whether to change to a cheaper phone plan or spend less on eating out that month. “And so I do not see how this is not a kitchen table issue when you talk about it,” she said. “Voters understand it when you are actually talking about it.”
Apparently, the reason Valenti sees dollar signs when she thinks of abortion is that she herself is happy every day that her bank account is a little fuller because her child is dead. Yes, when Valenti was 28 years old, she killed her own unborn child. She has spoken about how much better her life is because her dead child is not a part of it anymore.

“The life and family I have now simply would not exist without that abortion,” she wrote in 2021. Moreover, she explained, she would not have been able to have a successful career advocating for abortion and “helping” other women abort their own babies. “Because of my abortion,” she wrote, “I wrote books and gave speeches; I did work that helped other women.”
2) As Europe Crumbles, The United States And Israel Stand As The Two Nations Willing To Defend Their Civilization (Erick Stakelbeck, Harbinger's Daily)
From the article -- It’s easy to see why Europe resents Israel so much.
Israelis are patriotic. They’re resilient in the face of adversity. They’re confident in their country, their culture, and the justness of their cause. Everywhere you look in Israel, there are large families. Israel is everything Europe used to be.
The prophet Zechariah promised a day would come when the streets of Jerusalem would be full of boys and girls playing in the streets (Zech. 8:5). We are there today, and it’s a beautiful thing to see. Israelis are increasingly conservative, and they honor their traditions and forefathers. There is a feeling among Israelis that they are all in it together as they battle Islamic jihadists on a daily basis. Israelis are innovative and optimistic about the future.
Drive through Jerusalem today, and you see cranes and construction everywhere. Exciting things are happening. On the other hand, drive through Paris, London, Brussels, or Berlin, and the last word that comes to mind is not excitement, but alarm.
Over the past several days in France, we’ve seen thousands of young Muslim migrants and second-generation Muslim immigrants wreak havoc.
According to the willfully blind mainstream media, they’re supposedly protesting the conditions in French schools. But that’s just a cover for the real goal: to conquer France from within. The display from Paris last weekend was Palestinian flags as far as the eye could see, no French flags—funny how that works! Now, the riots in France have spread to Brussels. We have also seen mass Islamic shows of force over the past week in London, Copenhagen, and Turin, all with the full support of the European left, which is marching arm in arm alongside.
The unholy red-green alliance is the main reason Europe is a basket case today. Mass civil unrest and civil war seem inevitable.

3) Europe’s Hard Left at Its Most Dangerous: As elections loom, it’s determined to do whatever it takes to hold on. (Martin Arostegui, American Spectator)
From the article -- Conservatives are poised to win back power throughout Europe, but the left is fighting back, violently. Communists and Islamist groups funded through CCP channels are using shock tactics, mass mobilizations, media, and vote manipulation to influence critical elections scheduled in the coming months.
Far left organizations allied with pro-Palestine activist groups are rioting across France in anticipation of a victory by the anti-globalist Rassemblement National party. Leftist parliamentary leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who has said that he will “not accept” an RN victory, has called for a “general strike.”
Violent protests are spreading in Germany in response to nationalist AfD victories in recent regional elections. In Spain, socialist president Pedro Sánchez is calling for “mobilizations against the ultra-right wing opposition” favored to win Nov. 29 elections, which his scandal-ridden, rickety minority government is holding after losing far left support in parliament.
Socialist-controlled labor unions are now also calling for a general strike in Spain, which could become the next major battleground...
The far left, backed by powerful outside actors, is waging political warfare at an unprecedented scale to retain control of the EU.
The chaotic scenario unfolding in major NATO countries once considered stable U.S. allies and bulwarks of the Western alliance plays into the hands of Iran’s IRGC, which is activating terrorist sleeper cells in Europe. China’s interests are also closely protected by European leftists. Russia is already engaged in widespread hybrid warfare against NATO countries.
4) FDA continues to punt conclusions on abortion drug’s safety (Erin Morrow Hawley, Alliance Defending Freedom)
From the article -- The American people deserve the thorough report on abortion drug safety that the FDA has promised for nearly two years, but the agency has again failed to deliver it. The FDA now says it won’t release its final study until March. That will be too late for nearly 90,000 unborn babies who will die between now and then by illegally obtained abortion drugs in states like Louisiana that have taken great care to protect babies and mothers from the harms of abortion.
“But even then, the lengthy regulatory work that will be required after the study concludes could push any potential solution to the next administration. Not only is that unacceptable, but it’s also beside the point. The release of a study does nothing to correct the unlawfulness of the FDA’s 2023 decision, which three 5th Circuit panels, two district court judges, and now DOJ leadership itself have all concluded was ‘wrong.’
“Meanwhile, every month of additional delay puts nearly 15,000 additional babies at risk in states where mail-order abortion drugs are unlawful—1,000 in Louisiana alone—and more women like Rosalie, Catherine, and Elizabeth at risk of being coerced or tricked into ingesting these life-ending drugs. Nobody disputes that. And the FDA can easily end that today, even while its study continues, by entering into a consent decree with Louisiana to vacate the 2023 REMS.
“Indeed, mail-order abortions don’t empower women—they facilitate the abuse, coercion, and poisoning of women by making high-risk drugs accessible to bad actors at the click of a button. The FDA knows the right thing is to restore the in-person dispensing requirement. In fact, a new peer-reviewed article was just released detailing that the agency lacked evidence to justify removing this basic safety requirement.

5) Nobel Peace Prize Goes To Pro-Hamas Supporter Of Chinese Genocide: The Nobel Committee’s credibility won’t recover until it stops treating political alignment as a substitute for genuine achievement. (Helen Raleigh, Federalist)
From the article -- Critics of Pillay’s award were blunt. Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, said Pillay’s “troubling record on antisemitism and gross breach of ethics in presiding over a notorious UN commission utterly disqualifies her from such an award.” A Wall Street Journal editorial argued that because Pillay could not distinguish “the difference between genocide and a defensive military campaign against a homicidal adversary that hid behind civilians in mosques, schools and hospitals,” awarding her the Peace Prize is unlikely to “promote the cause of peace.”
Pillay’s 2026 award continues a disturbing pattern of the Norwegian Nobel Committee elevating figures whose record on peace was either doubtful or even anti-peace. Yasser Arafat received the 1994 prize despite chairing the Palestine Liberation Organization and pursuing armed struggle against Israel rather than peace throughout his life. In 2009, Barack Obama received the prize despite the absence of major peace agreements and while overseeing ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many criticized the Nobel Committee for rewarding aspirations, rhetoric, and potential rather than real accomplishment. A USA Today/Gallup poll shortly afterward found 61 percent of American adults said he did not deserve it.
These examples show how the Norwegian Nobel Committee has steadily blown its credibility by using the Peace Prize to spread leftist worldviews rather than consistently recognizing genuine peacemaking and the courageous defense of human rights. Such an approach is increasingly shaped by what critics call the red-green alliance — the convergence of Democrats, leftists, and socialists with radical Islamists, bound together mainly by hostility to capitalism, Israel, and the West.
