Some professions require a lot of heart and a lot of grit. They aren’t for the faint of heart. Being a firefighter is one such profession. In a heartwarming display of quick thinking and teamwork‚ the Franklinville Volunteer Fire Company (FVFC) in New Jersey‚ along with the Franklin Township Police Department‚ came to the rescue...

Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates...bunnies??? MRCTV/Culture went through Target's and Walmart’s selection of Easter items through the search term “Easter candy” and found that the overwhelming majority of the results had nothing to do with Jesus‚ the resurrection or the cross. Instead‚ the companies‚ as well as likely many more‚ flooded their selection with pastel flowers‚ carrots‚ bunnies and decorated egg candies for purchase. We knew that Target would have no problem concealing the real meaning of the holiday. Afterall‚ they care more about pride month than any other day‚ holiday or occasion.  When we searched for “Easter candy‚” the company provided 499 results. Only five of those results had anything to do with the real meaning of Easter and honestly‚ one of them was just a little lamb and I’d argue that creators weren’t even intending to represent the blood of the lamb during the manufacturing process. Among the results was one Russell Stover chocolate cross‚ which is only available via the shipping option. The other items were just decorated boxes or packages of regular shaped and themed candy. For example‚ Target sold a box of assorted chocolates in a tin with a purple sticker with the words “Happy Easter” and a cross on it. The kicker is that Target is just the middle man of those products‚ as they’re actually sold and shipped from distributors that merely use Target to get more sales. So‚ essentially‚ Target actually only sells 1.5 (half a point for the lamb) Easter candies. Walmart provided similar results. Among the 1000+ items that showed up when searching “Easter candy‚” Walmart waited til the third page to show a Hershey’s chocolate cross. Unlike Target‚ Walmart's cross is available for in-store pick up.  It wasn’t until page 16 of Walmart’s results that a “little lamby” was displayed‚ and honestly‚ it didn’t allude to Jesus’ resurrection in any other way than being a lamb. So likely‚ it also was not a religious item. Plus‚ it was out of stock. Page 21 displayed little mints that had various phrases about Jesus on the wrapper‚ like “Jesus Guides Me‚” “Jesus Loves Me‚” and “Jesus Saves Me.” The mints‚ which weren't even marketed as "Easter candy‚" were sold and shipped by an external company that went through Walmart to execute sales‚ just like Target's. No other items that related to the Resurrection showed up via this search. Searching “Easter candy religious” did merit a few more results for Walmart‚ but it took that extra step of adding the word “religious” to get more options. Even then‚ for Walmart‚ only three more options popped up and all of the items‚ again‚ were sold and shipped by external companies through Walmart’s check out system.  This is odd considering Easter has absolutely nothing to do with bunnies‚ carrots or little decorated eggs and everything to do with the cross. Roughly 3000 years ago‚ the hare was a symbol of death and rebirth to ancient people in Mesopotamia and Syria. Similarly‚ as noted by ExploreGod‚ the word “Easter” was linked to the German fertility goddess Eostra‚ “who in some traditions was even associated with hares.” Critics also note that the egg represents an "unexpected resurrection" through the unexpected chick that comes out of it. But in reality‚ the bunnies‚ the eggs‚ the carrots and the rest of the pastels have nothing to do with the actual meaning of Easter. Nonetheless‚ MRC also took a look at gifts‚ too. The Easter basket category on Target’s website generated 66 items. Zero items had anything to do with Jesus.  For Walmart‚ results were way more chaotic. Even when generating items by clicking “Easter” at the top of the site then selecting “Baskets‚” 1000+ items popped up.  Out of all 25 pages‚ there were no baskets that had anything related to Jesus‚ but page one of the search did feature a spell book set with “Pagan Witchcraft Supplies.” Now‚ are these two companies to blame for the secularization of the religious holiday? Of course not. As a matter of fact‚ they’re likely just appealing to what customers are interested in‚ and unfortunately‚ these days‚ it isn't God. While celebrating in these more secular ways may be fun for little kiddos‚ it’s important as consumers and as parents‚ if you are one‚ to remind them about the real meaning of Easter. But if that isn’t your goal‚ Target and Walmart are great places to feed your your anti-Jesus traditions.

It’s not just censorship. The federal government reportedly ordered Google to reveal which users were watching certain videos on its YouTube platform. The feds face a U.S. Supreme Court case for coordinating with Big Tech to violate Americans’ First Amendment free speech rights. But the government may also be violating Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights against “unreasonable searches” by demanding user data from Google-owned YouTube‚ according to a Forbes report published on March 22. Experts framed the orders as a free speech issue. “The left used to push for federal gun registries. They have now shifted their focus to the most dangerous weapon of all: speech. Because they can’t stand dissent or diversity of opinion‚ the left is trying to intimidate their opposition from speaking their minds or accessing news from right-of-center news outlets‚” MRC Vice President for Free Speech Dan Schneider said. “We’ve seen how the Biden administration has funded efforts to choke off private funding of conservative media outlets and how it has tried to direct students away from these sites. Now Biden is demanding access to user data. Given the government’s track record‚ we should be very skeptical.” The potential Fourth Amendment violations were revealed as Forbes originally reported that it accessed multiple orders related to a Kentucky case where law enforcement officials suspected YouTube user “elonmuskwhm” was selling bitcoin in exchange for cash‚ a potential money laundering crime. As unveiled by Forbes‚ the government not only investigated the suspected user but also demanded data on all individuals who viewed the user’s videos between Jan. 1 and Jan. 8‚ 2023. Videos posted by “Elonmuskwhm” garnered at least 30‚000 views. Strikingly‚ Google was reportedly required to keep the requests secret until they were recently unsealed. “The court orders show the government telling Google to provide the names‚ addresses‚ telephone numbers and user activity for all Google account users who accessed the YouTube videos between January 1 and January 8‚ 2023‚” according to Forbes. “The government also wanted the IP addresses of non-Google account owners who viewed the videos.” The data was allegedly “‘relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation‚’” Forbes quoted the police as having said. The feds also demanded data on viewers of livestreams showing officers searching an area after a bomb threat. Forbes noted that privacy experts see the federal orders on YouTube as a constitutional violation‚ both of the First Amendment and Fourth Amendment rights of Americans. Albert Fox-Cahn‚ executive director at the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project‚ told Forbes‚ “This is the latest chapter in a disturbing trend where we see government agencies increasingly transforming search warrants into digital dragnets. It’s unconstitutional‚ it’s terrifying and it’s happening every day.” He added that users should not be surveilled secretively by the government because the YouTube algorithm suggested a video to them. John Davisson‚ senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center‚ said that “[w]hat we watch online can reveal deeply sensitive information about us—our politics‚ our passions‚ our religious beliefs‚ and much more.” He concluded‚ “It's fair to expect that law enforcement won't have access to that information without probable cause. This warrant turns that assumption on its head.” This is another piece of evidence showing potential federal government violations of constitutional rights. The Murthy v. Missouri case‚ currently before the Supreme Court‚ exposed the extent of alleged government collusion with Big Tech to crush free speech using a leftist bias.  Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency and an equal footing for conservatives.

Having axed former RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel as a contributor‚ NBC’s Today returned Thursday to doing what the network does best: being fanboys and girls for their liberals. This time‚ they cheered President Biden’s upcoming attempt “to re-energize his re-election campaign with a star-studded campaign event” at Radio City Music Hall with former Presidents Clinton and Obama‚ CBS’s Late Show host Stephen Colbert‚ and celebrities such as Lizzo and Queen Latifah. “Radio City rally. President Biden looking to re-energize his re-election campaign with a star-studded campaign event tonight‚” beamed co-host Hoda Kotb in a tease‚ adding “a new national poll shows that Biden and Donald Trump are now locked in a dead heat.” Accompanied by the chyron “Star-Studded Biden Fundraiser”‚ co-host Savannah Guthrie set-up senior White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez’s piece by boasting Biden is “looking to boost his re-election campaign” with a “major fundraising event tonight that will include former Presidents Obama and Clinton” and a “host of celebrity performers.”     Gutierrez read his talking points‚ fawning over what “[t]he Biden campaign” insists will be “a historic‚ first-of-its-kind event” that’s “expected to draw 5‚000 people here at this iconic venue and rake in more than $25 million.” After fretting Donald Trump “has his own plans” as if him being in New York is a nuisance‚ Gutierrez went back to ogling:  This morning‚ the Biden campaign is preparing to host a star-studded fundraiser with three Presidents Biden‚ Obama and Clinton in a conversation moderated by late-night host Stephen Colbert. The event also set to feature appearances by Lizzo‚ Queen Latifah and Ben Platt among other celebrities as Democrats set their sights on the general election. He conceded Biden’s “poll numbers are ticking up‚ but still shaky” with Biden and Trump running neck-and-neck compared to Biden holding steady leads “[a]t this time in 2020”‚ which has meant they need Dear Leader Barack to save them and “tak[e] an increasingly active role in the campaign.” Gutierrez threw a jab at Trump over ObamaCare before finally footnoting Trump’s New York visit is to “highlight violent crime in the city and...attend the wake of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller‚ who was shot and killed this week in the line of duty.” Gutierrez couldn’t leave it there or say any more about Diller’s murder. Instead‚ Gutierrez had to pair what with Trump “escalat[ing] his attacks on the judge presiding over his hush money trial”. The NBC correspondent concluded with more liberal fluff‚ celebrating the fact that “Democrats have outpaced Republicans when it comes to fundraising in recent months” and tickets for the Radio City Music Hall event going for anywhere between $250 and $500‚000.

Both President Biden and Donald Trump will be in New York today. The President looking to boost his re-election campaign‚ major fundraising event tonight that will include former Presidents Obama and Clinton as well as of — host of celebrity performers. NBC’s senior White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez is just near us at Radio City Music Hall is where this event will be held. Gabe‚ good morning. GABE GUTIERREZ: Hey there‚ Savannah‚ good morning. The Biden campaign is billing this as a historic‚ first-of-its-kind event. The event is expected to draw 5‚000 people here at this iconic venue and rake in more than $25 million. But former President Trump has his own plans. This morning‚ the Biden campaign is preparing to host a star-studded fundraiser with three Presidents Biden‚ Obama and Clinton in a conversation moderated by late-night host Stephen Colbert. The event also set to feature appearances by Lizzo‚ Queen Latifah and Ben Platt among other celebrities as Democrats set their sights on the general election. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I’ve never been more optimistic about our future. And I know I’m only 40 years old times two‚ plus one. GUTIERREZ: The President’s poll numbers are ticking up‚ but still shaky. At this time in 2020‚ Biden was leading Trump by an average of six points. Now‚ most polls show it’s a statistical tie or Trump lead‚ so the President and Vice President are ramping up their travel. Former President Obama is also taking an increasingly active role in the campaign. BARACK OBAMA [on 03/23/24]: Right now‚ the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party for president says he wants to repeal the entirety of the ACA. GUTIERREZ: Mr. Trump is firing back‚ says he doesn’t want to “terminate” it‚ just make it better even though he’s previously said repeatedly that he wanted to replace it. TRUMP [on 06/11/16]: We’re repealing and replacing Obamacare. GUTIRREZ: While the former President escalates his attacks on the judge presiding over his hush money trial in New York‚ he’s also trying to highlight violent crime in the city and planning to attend the wake of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller‚ who was shot and killed this week in the line of duty. Today‚ both candidates heading to high-profile events‚ another split-screen moment as the campaign intensifies. Meanwhile‚ Democrats have outpaced Republicans when it comes to fundraising in recent months. As for the fundraiser here tonight‚ the cheapest tickets have sold for $250‚ but the most expensive have gone to people who contributed up to $500‚000. Savannah. GUTHRIE: Alright‚ Gabe Gutierrez‚ Thank you very much.

The low I.Q. members of ABC’s Cackling Coven (aka The View) were terrified on Thursday because they were apparently feeling the heat of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent campaign and feared it would hurt President Biden’s chances in November. They were so scared that they cooked up a fringe conspiracy theory accusing Kennedy of trying to “buy” the election by picking billionaire Nicole Shanahan to be his vice president. The View brought up the topic of Kennedy by disgustingly co-opting the death of former Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT); making it about third parties (Click “expand”): Welcome back. We do want to note that Senator Joe Lieberman passed away yesterday at 82‚ who founded the No Labels party to offer centralists alternatives to major party candidates. No Label does not have a candidate in the 2024 race but the third-party candidate people seem to be talking about right now is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Reportedly‚ you know‚ people are saying‚ oh‚ the Democrats are going -- he's going to take votes from Biden and a lot of Republicans are pushing that narrative too‚ but I'm not sure that that's so‚ but I'll ask you all. What do you think of this third-party situation or possibility? After saying her peace about Lieberman‚ faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin rambled on about how “RFK has to be taken seriously” because his beliefs were “very dangerous.” “But he has money‚ he’s organizing‚ he is on the ballot in a number of key battleground states including Nevada – two battleground states‚” she warned‚ recalling 2016‚ “But we know this. We know it from 2016‚ Jill Stein alone was enough to keep Hillary Clinton from winning in Michigan and changed the course of the election.”     Co-host Joy Behar became unglued as she ranted about how “Somebody has to ask him: why are you doing this! Why do you want to destroy the election and hand it to Trump if possible?!” She also claimed he was doing a disservice to the family name‚ saying: “He's a Kennedy. His forefathers are rolling over in their graves with this. His own family is telling him to get out. We already have one clown in the race. Do we need two of them?” She also suggested that Kennedy was showing the king of “delusion” that destroyed countries in the past; “that's what we're dealing with here with this.” No examples were given. Staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host‚ Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) was the first to dive into the election conspiracy waters. She clutched her pearls and suggested that Kennedy chose Shanahan‚ the daughter of an immigrant‚ for dark and sketchy motives: “Didn't he just choose a billionaire vice president? Who can help him get on the ballots in different states in battleground states.” Decrying that a candidate was trying to get on ballots‚ which required signatures and not cash‚ sounded very anti-democratic. She provided no evidence that Kennedy was buying off election officials to get on ballots. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg really bought into the conspiracy theories. She said Kennedy’s pick sent a “bad message for folks” and accuse him of trying to “buy the election.” It was a serious allegation that she provided no proof for‚ but she received broad approval from the rest of the cast anyway. “Keep in mind what you're hearing‚” Goldberg declared‚ “You're not supposed to be able to buy an election.” “[Or] Buy your way onto a ballot‚” Hostin added‚ suggesting that “the Supreme Court made sure he can.” Again‚ there was no explanation of how the court helped the campaign nor evidence provided of any alleged illegal activity; nor what specific activity the campaign was doing they thought ought to be illegal‚ for that matter. What they refused to mention was the strenuous efforts the Democratic Party was going through to make sure Kennedy’s name didn’t appear on ballots. Sounds pretty anti-democratic.

What do you think of this third-party situation or possibility? ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: I just want to say love and well wishes to the Lieberman family. He was someone I greatly admired in politics. I think it feels like the end of an era of centrism and trying to prioritize working across the aisle. I feel like we so often demonize moderation in this current era‚ so he will be missed. But on this third party‚ RFK has to be taken seriously even though I think his beliefs are out there. Some of them are very dangerous. Some of the anti-vax sentiment.

[Applause] HAINES: A lot of people including myself believe in time there is space for a third party. So‚ I tend to think the people that take this on aren't coming at it like‚ “I'm going to ruin the election for everyone.” I truly think they believe there is a lane to try to create something. I just don't think it's this election. BEHAR: I think many times delusion has destroyed a country and that's what we're dealing with here with this. The polls are too close. Even though you don't believe in them. GOLDBERG: I don't. BEHAR: I know‚ Whoopi. But they're close. Even though now – GOLDBERG: That's why I don't believe them.

MRC Free Speech Vice President Dan Schneider condemned Google for hiding from accountability and further exposed years of Big Tech election interference. During a March 28 hearing before the West Virginia State Election Commission‚ Schneider called out Google for brazenly ignoring a subpoena to answer for putting its thumb on the political scale.  “I do just want to address the fact that Google has refused the subpoena to appear today‚” Schneider said. “Google and the parent company Alphabet is the third largest publicly traded corporation in world history. Its market capitalization of nearly 2 trillion dollars is 400 times the size of the West Virginia budget‚ yet out of 182‚000 employees at Google‚ not a single one can spare even 10 or 15 minutes to appear today‚ to talk about this important issue.” Schneider‚ along with renowned psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein‚ Heritage Foundation Senior Research Associate Daniel Cochrane and Facebook Whistleblower Ryan Hartwig testified before the West Virginia SEC on the topic of Big Tech censorship and Free Speech. Schneider praised the “historic” nature of the hearing‚ pointing out that the Thursday hearing likely marked the first time a state election commission aimed to address the issues of Google’s and Big Tech’s election-meddling censorship.  The MRC Free Speech vice president pointed out that Google has not just stonewalled the commission’s hearing‚ but also the Media Research Center following the release of a scathing report detailing 41 times Google interfered in elections since 2008. Schneider laid example after example of Big Tech’s partisan election activity from 2020‚ 2022 and 2024.  Similarly‚ Schneider called out Big Tech‚ among them Google‚ for swaying the 2020 presidential election‚ brandishing a nationwide survey demonstrating that then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would have lost 4.1% of his voters absent Big Tech suppression of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story. “That is obviously a huge portion of the voting population‚” Schneider said. “That effort alone shows that it swayed the election for Joe Biden‚” he added‚ referring to Big Tech. As for the 2022 midterm elections‚ Schneider highlighted Google’s apparent favoritism towards Democratic senate candidates in close races. “Google‚ in almost every case‚ put the Democrat campaign websites right at the top” of search results‚ Schneider said of MRC Free Speech America’s findings. This was the case in the Georgia Senate race between NFL star Herschel Walker and pro-abortion “pastor” Raphael Warnock.  In 2022‚ the MRC not only exposed Google for burying the campaign websites of Republican senate candidates relative to their Democratic opponents but also uncovered Google aiding Warnock in the runoff by hiding Walker’s campaign website in key areas. Schneider also noted that Google interfered yet again during the 2024 presidential primaries.  Voters could easily find the campaign page of President Joe Biden and even little-known candidates such as Democrat Marianne Williamson and Republican Will Hild‚ while prominent candidates such as former President Donald Trump‚ Governor Ron DeSantis and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley were far more difficult to find.  [SEE MORE: 41 Times Google Has Interfered in US Elections Since 2008] Conservatives are under attack.

Democrat voters are the least worried that the government will use the guise of fighting misinformation and hate speech to censor political dissent on the Internet and social media‚ a new national survey reveals. Nearly half (47%) of all U.S. likely voters are “very concerned” that “to protect against misinformation and hate speech‚ the government might censor political dissent on the Internet and social media‚” according to a Rasmussen Reports survey conducted March 21 and 24-25. Likewise‚ 51% of both Republican and “Other” voters say they’re very concerned the government will censor online political dissent. In contrast‚ only 39% of Democrat voters are very concerned. Among voters who “strongly approve” of Democrat Joe Biden’s job performance as president‚ just 31% are “very concerned” the government might censor political dissent on the Internet and social media. Meanwhile‚ of those who “strongly disapprove” of Biden’s performance‚ 64% are “very concerned” about government censorship of online dissent. Among all U.S. likely voters‚ about three-fourths (76%) are at least “somewhat” concerned the government will use misinformation and hate speech to justify censorship of political dissent. Here‚ too‚ fewer Democrats (71%) than Republicans (77%) or “Other” voters (79%) are at least somewhat concerned.
