The amount and variety of sexual allegations against the famous rapper are breathtaking. He’s even involved with child pornography. Disgusting.

Finally, victims of R. Kelly’s absolutely deplorable and unacceptable behavior are being vindicated.

America has no home for sex offenders.

Facebook Censors Pro-Life Ads Before Ireland Votes on Abortion

Opioid Maker Pays Largest Settlement to Date

A significant contributor to America’s opioid epidemic just got hit with the hardest settlement to date.

Reckitt Benckiser Group (RB Group) is set to pay $1.4 billion to the government to cease investigations into their “addiction treatment medication.” They’re also paying $700 million to civil settlements and an additional $50 million to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The fraudulent drug dealers finally got hit where it hurts — their wallet.

There’s still so much more we need to do to combat the opioid epidemic, but this massive settlement is a step in the right direction.
