Grocery Store Giant Removes Abortion Pill From Pharmacy Following “Error”

/

Kroger has removed the abortion pill mifepristone from the Health Savings Club website Monday, a huge win for pro-life supporters everywhere.

The drug appears to have been removed following a story from The Washington Stand, which detailed how mifepristone was available via the website. An email to the outlet from Kroger the following day stated: “The Kroger Company Family of Pharmacies do not carry Mifepristone, nor do we dispense it.” At the time of writing (and at the time they received the statement), TWS claims the drug was still listed on the company site. 

“The Kroger Family of Pharmacies doesn’t carry Mifepristone and was listed on the Kroger Health Savings Club site in error,” a statement later claimed. Within 24 hours of these communications occurring, TWS claims the drug was officially removed from the site.

From The Washington Stand: “Soon after Biden’s Food and Drug Administration announced that retail pharmacies could dispense the abortion pill in January 2023, Kroger along with other major retailers received a letter from 19 state attorneys general warning the companies that they would be violating federal law if they send abortion pills through the mail. But Democratic lawmakers like Senator Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) fired off their own letter in March 2023 demanding that Kroger and other retailers ignore the state AGs and “expand access” to the drug. A year later, CVS and Walgreens both began dispensing the pills, with Sam’s Club joining the list at some point this month. 

“After having quietly followed suit and offering the abortion pill on its site for an unknown period of time, Kroger has apparently backtracked in the wake of press coverage of the listing.”

Million Voices spoke to a representative from Kroger who shared what really happened, and why the pill was listed on the company website. “A third-party organization erroneously listed the pill as available at Kroger – we do not sell, nor have we ever sold, mifepristone. It was an error on a third-party site to list it,” the representative for Kroger said in an email to Million Voices.

It’s unclear what really happened, as Bloomberg Law reported in August 2024 that Christian groups were pressuring Kroger and other major grocery stores, like Costco, Walmart, and Albertsons.

“The Chosen” Director Responds To Critics

/

The Chosen” creator-director Dallas Jenkins defended the portrayal of an interaction between Jesus and Judas Iscariot on a livestream in December.

Apparently some people think that Jenkins’ choices with the scene between Jesus and Judas was “unbiblical,” according to the Christian Post. “You have a choice to make, Judas,” Jesus says in the scene in which Judas challenges Jesus to “reclaim” his “birthright.” “Who [do] you belong to? Who has your heart? I want it, and I’ve had it before. You followed me willingly.”

“I want to continue,” Judas replies. “There’s nothing more that I want than that.”

Jesus takes an emotional Judas’ hand, telling him, “Then I will pray for you. But for now, please leave me in peace.

Why Are People Reacting To This?

“It’s over the issue of, ‘Did Jesus pray for people? Did Jesus pray specifically for Judas? Did Jesus want Judas to change His mind? Did Judas have free will? Was Judas ever saved?’ — all the typical Judas questions started to come up,” Jenkins said during his broadcast. “There’s a measurable amount of people who believe that we got it wrong,” Jenkins added, “that I got it wrong.”

“While I’m somewhat surprised that the concept of Jesus saying the words ‘I’ll pray for you’ are controversial, I’m not actually that surprised that something like this comes up because it’s a sensitive topic,” he added. “Whether it’s Jesus and Judas or whether it’s eternal salvation or not, these are important issues, and that’s why I’m actually glad sometimes when this happens.” 

Jenkins reshaped the debate into a conversation about how best to interpret these things. He also clarified that the work was designed to speak specifically to those seeking a greater understanding about the show. “I’m talking to you, the person who is either genuinely seeking or genuinely trying to understand, or maybe isn’t as familiar with some of these topics or issues, or also has a friend who came to you and said, ‘Why do you watch this heretical show’ and [it would] be good for you to have an answer,” he continued.

Your Own Will

“No, we are not implying that Jesus is going to pray that Judas will change his mind,” he said. “Yes, Judas’ betrayal is part of the Father’s will. It is part of this crucifixion and, ultimately, salvation story. So Jesus did not say in the scene, ‘I’ll pray for you, Judas, that you’ll change your mind from whatever you’re about to do.’”

Jesus “has known for a while that Judas would betray Him,” Jenkins stressed, claiming “we are not implying that at this point in the story [that] Jesus wasn’t sure what was going to happen [or] was hoping things wouldn’t happen bad. Jesus knew.” 

“So no, I’m not saying that Jesus didn’t know or that Jesus was hoping things would change,” Jenkins continued, noting that “Jesus and the Father share the same will and that their wills are inextricably united.”

“To me, it matters little because if Jesus could pray for unbelievers while they were crucifying Him, it seems that Jesus could pray for Judas even while Judas was planning to betray Him,” Jenkins later stated.

CNN’s Jennings Roasts Dems’ Musk Critique: “Soros Collects Politicians Like Pokémon”

/

CNN’s Scott Jennings criticized Democrats on Sunday for their opposition to Elon Musk, calling it “hypocritical” in light of the influence wielded by left-wing billionaire George Soros.

Jennings made his remarks during an appearance on State of the Union with CNN host Dana Bash.

The discussion came as Democrats escalated their criticisms of Musk following his opposition to Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson’s original 1,574-page continuing resolution (CR).

The resolution, which included provisions that could cost hundreds of billions of dollars, faced backlash from Musk, who urged voters to oppose lawmakers supporting the measure.

Bash asked Jennings whether Musk’s growing influence might “wear thin” on President-elect Donald Trump.

“I don’t think so. I mean look, they appear to be getting along well,” Jennings responded.

“Musk was very instrumental in his victory, and I hear Democrats criticizing the idea that we have unelected people with too much influence over the government. I invite them to pick up the Wall Street Journal from this week and find out that unelected people have been running the government for the last four years.”

Jennings did not hold back on what he viewed as Democratic hypocrisy. “I hear Democrats criticizing the influence of billionaires on our politics when you’ve got this Soros punk running around collecting Democrat politicians like my kids collect Pokémon cards,” he said.

“So I think all the criticism of Musk coming from the left is totally hypocritical, totally over-the-top, and he is doing something interesting, bringing some transparency to the federal government. It’s not a terrible thing.”

Soros, through Soros Fund Management, has long been a major donor to Democratic politicians, organizations, and progressive causes.

Over 20 district attorneys in cities such as New York and Los Angeles have reportedly received campaign funding from Soros-backed groups.

Former Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, a notable recipient of Soros funding, was voted out in November after pursuing far-left policies that critics say weakened law enforcement and hurt small businesses.

In 2023, Soros Fund Management donated $173,710 to Democratic congressional candidates, $183,010 to federal candidates overall, and $850,000 to the Texas Organizing Project (TOP), according to OpenSecrets. TOP advocates for ending “mass incarceration,” reforming immigration policies, and creating a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants.

Beyond politics, Soros has extended his influence into media, with his investment firm acquiring over $400 million of debt from Audacy, the second-largest radio network in the U.S., as part of a restructuring agreement.

Comedian Matt Rife Reveals He Was Baptized In 2024

/

Comedian Matt Rife recently revealed that he was baptized following the death of his grandfather in 2024.

Rife was baptized in August 2024 in someone’s pool, according to an interview he did with comedians Yannis Papas and Chris Distefano. Though he apparently “hates” going to Church, he believes in God. He also wasn’t raised in Christian household and so only attended church with friends a few times each year. “I hate church; I find it excruciatingly boring,” said Rife. “But I want to believe in God, and it’s obviously a huge part of the process.”

“I’ve never been a super religious person, but when my grandpa passed away, something hit me that I was like, ‘I’ll never see this person again,’” he explained. “So something has to exist. I skew Christian, so I started going to church a little bit more.” 

Rife Joins Other Famous Comics

“Saturday Night Live” legend Rob Schneider spoke to the Daily Caller’s Kay Smythe — now Million Voices’ Managing Editor Kay Hill (thanks to her recent marriage) — earlier in 2024 about his own conversion to Christ and what it means for America’s right now.

“I would say I’m assured that we are in a spiritual war, let’s not mince words. But is it something equal parts good and evil?” Schneider asked. “Good and evil don’t cancel each other out. But there’s just enough evil right now to give good a run for its money.”

Russell Brand turned his life around from crude comedy to Christ-follower. Over the summer he led a crowd of an estimated 25,000 people in the Lord’s Prayer.

Hillary Clinton: Republicans Taking Orders from the “World’s Richest Man” Elon Musk

/

Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed that Republicans were “taking orders from the world’s richest man,” Elon Musk, regarding the failed continuing resolution (CR).

Clinton accused Republicans of being “on course to shut down the government over the holidays.”

“If you’re just catching up: the Republican Party, taking orders from the world’s richest man, is on course to shut down the government over the holidays, stopping paychecks for our troops and nutrition benefits for low-income families just in time for Christmas,” Clinton wrote in her post.

Clinton’s remarks came after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called for Musk to serve as House Speaker in the wake of growing criticisms regarding House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) reading the CR.

The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress . . .” Sen. Paul began.

“Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk.”

“Think about it . . . nothing’s impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka ‘uniparty,’ lose their ever-lovin’ minds),” the post concluded.

Musk placed tremendous pressure on Republican House leadership to scrap Wednesday’s spending measure in a series of X posts.

“The Speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances,” Musk wrote in one post on X, regarding the news that Johnson was “rolling” out a “third plan to keep the government” from heading toward a shutdown.

“It went from a bill that weighed pounds to a bill that weighed ounces. Ball should now be in the Dem court.”

Georgia Homeowner Jailed for Trying To Evict Squatters From Her Property

/

A homeowner in Clayton County, Georgia, found herself in a shocking legal predicament after attempting to reclaim her property from an alleged squatter.

Loletha Hale, the rightful owner of the home, was arrested on charges of criminal trespass and making terroristic threats during a confrontation with Sakemeyia Johnson, the woman occupying her property, and her associates.

Hale’s ordeal began in August when she discovered Johnson living in her home.

Johnson claimed her presence was lawful, citing a controversial ruling by Clayton County Magistrate Judge Latrevia Lates-Johnson, who determined that Johnson was not a squatter due to her association with a partner of a previously evicted tenant.

After months of legal disputes, including Johnson filing for bankruptcy to delay eviction proceedings, Hale eventually secured a court judgment affirming her ownership of the property.

However, she had not yet obtained a signed writ of possession, a legal requirement to enforce eviction in Georgia. Believing the property to be vacated, Hale returned to clean and prepare it for her own use. Johnson, however, allegedly broke back into the home, escalating tensions.

When a confrontation ensued, Clayton County police officers and sheriff’s deputies were called to the scene on Livingston Drive on December 9. During the incident, Hale reportedly told Johnson to leave and allegedly threatened to retrieve a firearm.

Body camera footage captured a deputy advising Hale to consider the alleged squatter’s perspective, saying, “Everybody isn’t as fortunate as you to have a bed. All the little things, a bed in their house, food in the kitchen.”

The responding deputy wrote in the incident report that Hale had “executed an illegal eviction and forcibly removed Ms. Johnson’s belongings.”

Cell phone video evidence allegedly recorded Hale saying, “Leave before I get my gun.”

Hale was subsequently arrested, spending a night in jail under conditions she described as deplorable. “I spent the night on a mat on a concrete floor in deplorable conditions. While this woman, this squatter, slept in my home,” Hale told WSB-TV Atlanta.

Meanwhile, Johnson, the alleged squatter, has not been charged with any criminal activity.

This case highlights ongoing tensions in Georgia’s property laws, particularly regarding the rights of property owners versus those of occupants who claim tenancy.

Despite the court ruling in Hale’s favor, the lack of a signed writ of possession meant she could not legally enforce the eviction.

Hale’s arrest has drawn attention to the challenges homeowners face when dealing with individuals occupying their properties.

While she awaits further legal proceedings, questions remain about the balance between protecting property rights and adhering to eviction procedures.

The situation has sparked debate over how law enforcement handles such cases, with some questioning the deputy’s approach and the broader legal framework that allowed the alleged squatter to remain in the home despite Hale’s ownership being upheld in court.

Report: Jill Biden Is Urging Joe To “Burn The Whole Thing Down”

/

As Joe Biden nears the end of his presidency, his final weeks in office have been a mix of farewell gestures, holiday traditions, and simmering tensions with former allies within the Democratic Party.

Both he and First Lady Jill Biden have taken steps that suggest a focus on settling political scores, reshaping relationships, and preparing for life outside the White House.

Biden recently sparked controversy with his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, just weeks before the end of his term.

The move, which came after months of public statements suggesting he wouldn’t intervene, has reportedly angered senior Democrats.

Alongside this pardon, Joe quietly commuted around 1,500 sentences, including one for an individual connected to the Chinese Communist Party, raising further questions about the administration’s actions in its waning days.

Sources close to the administration claim that Jill Biden has been a significant influence in urging the president to take bold steps during his final weeks. “Jill views Democrats on Capitol Hill, the wider party, the Obamas, staff inside and outside the White House, the media, and all of Washington, D.C., with such misguided resentment that I can’t imagine she [isn’t] encouraging [Joe] to burn the whole thing down,” an insider shared.

Among the Bidens’ perceived adversaries is former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who led efforts earlier this year to convince Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.

Despite decades of friendship, the president has reportedly severed communication with Pelosi, who was notably seated far from the Bidens during the Kennedy Center Honors this month—a marked contrast to her past appearances as a guest of honor.

Kamala Harris has also found herself on shaky ground with the president.

Despite Biden’s swift endorsement of Harris following his withdrawal from the 2024 race, tensions between the two have grown after her defeat by Donald Trump in the presidential election.

Harris lost both the popular vote and the Electoral College, a result that has left Biden reportedly questioning how her campaign failed despite significant financial support.

Democratic donor John Morgan speculated that Biden’s endorsement of Harris may have been partly motivated by frustration with party leaders like Pelosi and Barack Obama, both of whom had reservations about Harris’s candidacy. “I think he got pissed off [and] said, ‘F*** you,’ and gave us Harris,” Morgan remarked.

The Bidens’ final holiday season in the White House has been noticeably subdued.

Fewer parties have been held for staff and supporters, and the president and first lady spent the early part of December overseas.

Some Democratic members received White House tour invitations in lieu of traditional party invites.

During a recent White House women’s health conference, Jill Biden made remarks that many interpreted as a jab at Harris’s campaign slogan centered on “joy.”

Her comments drew laughter from the audience, further fueling speculation about discord within the administration.

With the presidency winding down, Biden is reportedly considering establishing his presidential library in Delaware.

Jill Biden, meanwhile, announced her retirement from teaching, ending her tenure as an English professor at Northern Virginia Community College.

However, the Bidens have made it clear they intend to remain active in the public sphere. “We’re no longer going to be President and First Lady, but we’re not going away,” Biden stated recently.

Amid these plans, some Democratic donors are said to be withholding support for Biden’s post-presidency endeavors, citing frustration over his handling of the 2024 race.

Nonetheless, the Biden family continues to strengthen relationships elsewhere, including with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, whose foundation contributed $250,000 to Ashley Biden’s wellness center in Philadelphia.

As Biden prepares to leave the White House, the administration’s final weeks are a reflection of both its achievements and the challenges that have defined his presidency.

While some celebrate his legacy, others within the Democratic Party are left questioning the choices made in his final chapter.

Long Island Police Get Green Light to Take Down Drones 

/

Nassau County officials have authorized local law enforcement to shoot down drones deemed a threat to public safety.

The announcement came Thursday during the unveiling of a state-of-the-art drone command center capable of tracking drones from miles away.

However, officials acknowledged that they still require federal approval for more advanced tools to neutralize drones safely.

County Executive Bruce Blakeman emphasized the urgency of taking proactive measures to prevent potential disasters. “We don’t want to wait until we have some kind of disastrous event to then say, ‘Well, we could have done this and we could have done that,’” Blakeman said.

He granted the Nassau County Police Department the authority to take down drones posing a risk during mass gatherings. “If there is a mass gathering anywhere and there is a drone that is a threat to the public at large, they have the authority and the jurisdiction and the right to shoot down that drone,” Blakeman added.

Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder highlighted the department’s preparedness to address the growing drone threat. “As far as my snipers go, I have 30 of the best, world-renowned snipers in the country that can hit a quarter a mile away,” Ryder said.

He also pointed to the county’s new command center, which allows authorities to monitor drone activity within a 20-mile radius.

Despite these advancements, Ryder acknowledged the limitations of local resources. “I can see a drone coming from 20 miles, but I can’t stop it,” he said. Ryder and Blakeman urged Congress to pass legislation enabling local authorities to use drone mitigation technology, such as signal jamming or forced returns to the drone’s home base.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently issued a temporary ban on drone operations over parts of New Jersey and authorized the use of “deadly force” against drones violating restricted airspace.

The ban is in effect until at least January 17, prohibiting unmanned aircraft within a nautical mile of specified areas outlined in an FAA Notice to Airmen (NOTAM).

Increased drone sightings in recent months, particularly over New Jersey, New York, and near 17 U.S. military installations, have raised alarms.

Some of the sightings occurred near properties linked to foreign entities, including China, fueling national security concerns.

Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey suggested a possible link to an Iranian “mothership” over the Atlantic Ocean.

He criticized the federal government’s response, calling it “not just frustrating — it’s dangerous.”

Blakeman called on the federal government to provide local jurisdictions with the tools and authority to address the drone threat effectively. “We would like the power to do a few things,” he said.

“Number one, we would like the technology so we don’t have to shoot it down, because that creates a whole ’nother set of problems with the people who are on the ground.”

Blakeman advocated for drone mitigation technology that could disable drones or send them back to their operators.

He also urged for legislation allowing local authorities to issue federal summonses for violations of drone laws.

The mysterious drone sightings have left residents and officials seeking answers.

The White House has largely downplayed the concerns, but local officials and lawmakers are pressing for action.

Nassau County’s new drone command center represents a significant step forward, but Blakeman and Ryder agree that without federal support, their ability to address the threat remains limited.

As Nassau County takes matters into its own hands, the push for stronger federal collaboration and technology to mitigate drones grows, reflecting the increasing urgency of addressing this evolving security challenge.

Study: Scripture-engaged Americans Are Most Giving

/

A report published in early December detailed how scripture-engaged Americans are the most “giving.”

Ninety-four percent of the respondents to the American Bible Society’s ninth and final “State of the Bible USA 2024” report said they donated to charitable causes throughout the past year. The median amount given was $2,000. 

“People who consistently read the Bible and live by its teachings are more likely to give to charity,” the organization’s Chief Innovation Officer and editor-in-chief John Farquhar Plake said in a statement accompanying the report. “Our data shows that they also give far more — not only to their churches, but also to religious and non-religious charities. At a national level, we could say that Scripture-engaged people form a massive engine of generosity and philanthropy.”

Just 37% of non-Christians gave to charity, according to the state. The mean amount among this group was listed as $1,466 in the report, but a substantial (“extremely large”) donation from a single individual skewed these results significantly and did not reflect the actual average when controlled. “The median donation amount among non-Christians was measured at $0, meaning that more than half did not give anything at all,” The Christian Post wrote in their analysis of the data.

“Nominal” Christians — those who identify as Christians but do not attend church at least once a month — had a charitable giving rate of 53%. “Casual” Christians had a charitable giving rate of 88% with a median donation amount of $600.

“While 73% of Catholics told pollsters they gave to charity, their mean giving amount of $1,320 was much lower than those reported by mainline Protestants ($4,066) and slightly lower than the average donation among historically black Protestants ($1,726). However, the median amount given to charity among Catholics was $300, higher than the median amounts donated by mainline Protestants ($250) and historically black Protestants ($127),” wrote The Christian Post.

The results also found those who donate to charitable purposes have significantly higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction ever, suggesting that we really do get back what we put into this life. 

“Americans with the lowest household income levels give the greatest percentage to church or charity, with giving exceeding 10% of their income. Among the highest-earning households, about 60% donate something,” the report noted.

The research in the report was based on responses collected from 2,506 American adults from Jan. 4–23. The survey has a margin of error of +/-2.73 percentage points.

Nativity Goes On Display At U.S. Capitol for First Time Ever

/

For the first time in human history, the Nativity scene was displayed on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in December. What an incredible win for religious freedom and our First Amendment rights!

The display was accompanied by prayer, the singing of Christmas carols, and a reading of the Christmas story, according to the Christian Post. All of this was made possible after a federal-level court decision granted Rev. Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, and his supporters, the right to peacefully celebrate our faith on Capitol grounds.

“We are so very thankful for the opportunity to share the joyful and powerful message of Christmas at the steps of the U.S. Capitol,” said Mahoney, according to the outlet. “In a hurting and wounded world, there is no more redemptive and healing message than the Christmas story.”

In his lawsuit, Mahoney stated that “The ‘People’s House,’ as the U.S. Capitol Building is so rightly called, must be a place where all Americans are afforded the right to come and peacefully celebrate and express their First Amendment rights. Tragically, those rights and freedoms are being denied and prohibited.” 

An official statement from Mahoney touched upon the significance of the decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. “This is also a significant victory for religious freedom and the First Amendment,” he said. “This event has ended and won the war on Christmas in the public square. For if Christmas can be celebrated and displayed in the most powerful public square in America, it can be celebrated publicly everywhere.”
