The retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer gives President Biden a significant opportunity to leave a true legacy upon the nation. As Biden begins his interview process, it is clear he is committed to appointing a far-left ideologue to replace Breyer. However, this effort will not impact the current ideological divide on the high court or the chance to reverse Roe v. Wade.
Breyer, when appointed by Clinton in 1994, was applauded by both Republicans and Democrats as a centrist who would not fit into a particular ideological camp. This did not turn out to be the case. During his tenure, he was a consistent and reliable vote for the liberal wing of the court.
One case stands out as an example. In 2015 the state of California passed a law – the so-called “Reproductive Fact Act” – that mandated pro-life medical clinics to post signs on the walls of their waiting areas advising patients of their right to a state-funded abortion. These signs had to be in multiple languages, large font and include an 800 number to call to obtain an abortion.

Such examples appear to be extreme. However, if the California law was allowed to stand, then the answer to these questions would have been “yes.” If special interest groups were to gain sufficient political power to […]
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
