Poll Reveals How Dem Women Feel About Joe Biden Groping

/0 Comments/in , /by

Recent allegations of former Vice President Joe Biden’s inappropriate touching of women dominated political headlines for most of last week, but a new poll indicates voters in one of the country’s largest states don’t consider it a serious issue.

A Quinnipiac University public opinion survey of California voters also suggests that Biden – who’s likely to launch a White House bid in the coming weeks – is the leader of the pack in the Golden State among the large field of contenders vying for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Two-thirds of voters questioned in the live operator survey – including 67 percent of women, 71 percent of Democrats, and even 55 percent of Republicans – said the controversy was not a serious issue.

“‘Let Biden be Biden,’ say California voters, clearly unconcerned about former Vice President Joe Biden’s tactile embrace of supporters,” Quinnipiac Polling assistant director Tim Malloy said. “But there is one noticeable generational split. The youngest of voters are far more inclined to say, ‘hands off.'”

Biden’s well publicized and decades long affectionate brand of physical politics was thrust into the spotlight nearly two weeks ago, thanks to allegations from 2014 Nevada Democratic lieutenant governor nominee Lucy Flores. She said in an essay published in New York Magazine that Biden made her feel “uneasy, gross, and confused” at a campaign rally when she said he kissed her on the back of the head. Her claims quickly went viral and became a top cable news story for a week. (Read more from “Poll Reveals How Dem Women Feel About Joe Biden Groping” HERE)

Kim Foxx, Who Dropped Jussie Smollett’s Charges, Also Gave a Break to a Man Convicted of Murder

/0 Comments/in , /by

After the sudden and surprising decision not to pursue any charges against Jussie Smollett for allegedly fabricating a hate crime, a deeper look at Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s record by WLS-TV revealed another example of controversial leniency. . .

Four teenagers were charged with the murder. Three of them were convicted and are still in prison. One of them, however, was only 14. His circumstance was a bit different.

Foxx, who at the time was the assistant state’s attorney, opted to charge him as a juvenile in an Extended Juvenile Jurisdiction prosecution. . .

Well, in 2015 Johnson was convicted of aggravated fleeing after being involved in a police chase. Although that should’ve triggered Johnson’s 30-year sentence, newly-elected State’s Attorney Foxx told Derrion Albert’s family that their son’s killer was only getting probation.

How did the family react? “I felt like [Foxx] sat in our face, she cried with us, she hugged us and then you turn around and let this murderer, I don’t care how old he is, he was convicted of first degree murder,” said Albert’s mother, Anjanette. “My son is not here anymore and she gave us all this hope and she promised us that this was going to be OK. And it didn’t turn out like that.” (Read more from “Kim Foxx, Who Dropped Jussie Smollett’s Charges, Also Gave a Break to a Man Convicted of Murder” HERE)

Dem Senator Claims That Unborn Babies Can’t Feel Pain Until 24 Weeks Despite Cases Where Babies Survived Birth at 20 Weeks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, quoted some questionable claims Tuesday about fetal pain during a hearing on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act that would ban abortion after 20 weeks – the time when science increasingly suggests unborn children feel pain. . .

She went on to quote an organization called the “American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists” (ACOG) referring to them as “the premier, professional organization.”

“A human fetus does not have the capacity to experience pain until after viability,” she quoted from their statement on the matter. “Rigorous scientific studies have found that the connections necessary to transmit signals from peripheral sensory nerve to the brain as well as the brain structures necessary to process those signals do not develop until at least 24 weeks of gestation because it lacks these connections and structures, the fetus does not even have the physiological capacity to perceive pain until at least 24 weeks gestation.” . . .

Micah Pickering, a boy born at 20 weeks of pregnancy, was obviously viable since he did survive birth and was able to advocate for the legislation on Capitol Hill.

Based on Micah’s case and others, the New York Times wrote in 2015, that a “study, of thousands of premature births, found that a tiny minority of babies born at 22 weeks who were medically treated survived with few health problems, although the vast majority died or suffered serious health issues. Leading medical groups had already been discussing whether to lower the consensus on the age of viability, now cited by most medical experts as 24 weeks.” (Read more from “Dem Senator Claims That Unborn Babies Can’t Feel Pain Until 24 Weeks Despite Cases Where Babies Survived Birth at 20 Weeks” HERE)

Clinicians Quit Transgender Clinic Over Concerns About Controversial Treatments on Kids as Young as 3

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Five former clinicians who worked at the National Health Service’s transgender therapy clinics in England have quit their jobs over ethical concerns and harms caused by controversial treatments prescribed to children as young as 3 years old.

The former staffers told the Times that they believed the Gender Identity Development Service had haphazardly diagnosed children with gender dysphoria and that they felt pressured into prescribing harmful hormone therapy to block the onset of puberty. . .

Each of the unidentified former employees said they were members of a team of clinicians who would determine whether or not to prescribe irreversible and harmful treatments for children.

They also alleged that many of the children diagnosed with gender dysphoria at the clinic were more likely gay kids who were victims of homophobic bullying. . .

At 16, the clinic prescribed a mix of sex hormones to help them develop the physical characteristics that match their preferred gender identity, the former employees told the Times.

Calls to End Transgender ‘Experiment on Children’

By The Times. The only NHS gender clinic for children is risking a “live experiment” by sending hundreds for life-changing medical intervention without sufficient evidence of its long-term effects, experts have warned.

The Times has spoken to five clinicians who resigned from the service because of concerns over the treatment of vulnerable children who come to the clinic presenting as transgender.

They believe that some gay children struggling with their sexuality are being wrongly diagnosed as “transgender” by the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) clinic.

All five former staff were responsible for deciding which trans-identifying youngsters should be given hormone blockers to halt their sexual development. The vast majority of those who begin blockers go on to irreversible cross-sex hormones once they reach 16. (Read more from “Calls to End Transgender ‘Experiment on Children'” HERE)

Unplanned Movie Is Having a Shocking Impact

/0 Comments/in , /by

Abby Johnson’s story of transforming from a Planned Parenthood clinic director to one of the most well-known pro-life advocates in America is a captivating journey of faith, hope and redemption — one that is taking the box office by storm. Audiences have flocked to see Johnson’s story as told in the new feature film “Unplanned.”

Johnson told “The Pure Flix Podcast” this week that she’s been blown away by the response to the film, which was the fourth most popular movie in America last weekend.

“It’s just really exciting, and just hearing all the stories of people who are going into this film pro-choice … and are walking out pro-life,” she said. “Every day I’m waking up to stories of people who are like, ‘Your film changed my mind … I can’t believe I ever supported abortion.'” . . .

Johnson said it has been “really incredible” to see the impact that “Unplanned” is having on the masses, explaining that the movie is truly sparking a collective movement. . .

Johnson is no stranger to changing hearts and minds. Her nonprofit, And Then There Were None, helps workers who are in the abortion industry find a way out. She herself was once a director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas, before being asked to assist on an abortion. What she saw left her fleeing the organization and changing her views on abortion. (Read more from “Unplanned Movie Is Having a Shocking Impact” HERE)

Actor Isaiah Washington, who previously starred on “Grey’s Anatomy,” praised President Donald Trump for supporting the black agenda last week and slammed former President Barack Obama for not.

“Washington was at the White House to see the celebrate a prison reform bill, the First Step Act, which is focused on inmate rehabilitation,” The Daily Mail reported. “Congress passed legislation last year called the First Step Act that gives judges more discretion when sentencing some drug offenders and boosts prisoner rehabilitation efforts.”

“I voted for 44 twice. I even checked my emails in his Senate Office while lobbying for Salone to be given another chance to rebrand,” Washington tweeted. “Not once in 8 years was I given any support regarding Africa or the Black Agenda, but 45 invites me to the WH to celebrate the #FirstStepAct”

Family of 8 Died in Murder-Suicide After Lesbians Drove Their Children off a Cliff

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Caller. A California coroner’s jury decided late Thursday that a lesbian couple killed themselves and their six adopted children by driving off a cliff in March 2018.

After a Wednesday coroner’s inquest, the jury found Jennifer and Sarah Hart killed themselves and murdered their family March 26, 2018, when they drove off a cliff in Mendocino County, The Associated Press reported. . .

Authorities opened an investigation into the couple’s alleged mistreatment of their children just days before the fatal crash, sending social workers to the house March 23, according to the AP. The Harts left their home in Woodland, Washington, and drove to northern California, where they died.

Records recovered from Sarah Hart’s phone show deleted searches about suicide, Benadryl dosage methods, and whether drowning is painful, according to California Highway Patrol investigator Jake Slates.

After recovering the family’s bodies, authorities determined Sarah Hart had toxic levels of Benadryl in her body, according to Mendocino County Sheriff Deputy Robert Julian. Jennifer Hart also had a blood alcohol level over the legal driving limit, Slates said. (Read more from “Family of 8 Died in Murder-Suicide After Lesbians Drove Their Children off a Cliff” HERE)

Hart Family of 8 Died by Murder-Suicide in Cliff Crash, Jury Finds

By AP. The deaths drew national attention, partly because the women were alleged to have abused their children. The body of Devonte Hart, 15, who was black and had gained attention when he was photographed in tears while hugging a white police officer during a 2014 protest in Portland, Oregon, has not been recovered.

Jurors were instructed to choose from four manners of death for each of the eight people: natural causes, suicide, accident or an intentional act by another. They sat through nearly two full days of testimony.

“It is my belief that both Jennifer and Sarah succumbed to a lot of pressure,” sheriff’s Lt. Shannon Barney said Thursday. “Just a lot of stuff going on in their lives, to the point where they made this conscious decision to end their lives this way and take their children’s lives.” (Read more from “Hart Family of 8 Died by Murder-Suicide in Cliff Crash, Jury Finds” HERE)

Federal Appeals Court Upholds Law Requiring an Ultrasound Before an Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal appeals court upheld a Kentucky law Thursday requiring doctors to conduct an ultrasound, show patients the images, and have women hear the fetal heartbeat at least 24 hours prior to an abortion.

In a 2-1 ruling, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals backed the “Ultrasound Informed Consent Act” which was passed in 2017 and was immediately challenged by the state’s only abortion clinic.

The majority opinion was written by Trump appointee Judge John Bush who cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s rulings in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey and, more recently, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra.

He argued that the information required by the Kentucky legislation was “truthful, non-misleading, and relevant information about an abortion,” and did not violate a doctor’s free speech rights as the abortion clinic claimed. . .

“Today is a historic day, as Kentucky continues to lead the charge in implementing strong pro-life protections for its citizens,” [Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin] said. “We applaud the decision by the Sixth Circuit, which affirms the commonsense notion that patients should be well equipped with relevant information before making important medical decisions. I am grateful to be governor of a state that values every human life, and we are committed to continue our fight on behalf of the most vulnerable among us.” (Read more from “Federal Appeals Court Upholds Law Requiring an Ultrasound Before an Abortion” HERE)

Man Who Identifies as a Pup Wears a Fur Dog Suit, Barks, Licks, and Bites His Friends

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. A British man who identifies as a dog claims he has never felt like a human, the Mirror reported. Kaz James wears a fur dog suit and he eats from a dog bowl. He often barks at, licks, and even bites his friends.

“I didn’t ever feel like a human, I always felt like a dog that was really out of place,” James told the Mirror. “I was known by my friends for saying hello to them by grabbing hold of the collar of their shirt in my teeth and biting or licking them, very canine-type behaviors. It was always how I was.”

The 37-year-old from Salford, Greater Manchester, who works as a store manager, describes himself as a “full-time orange, brown and camo K-9.” . . .

“The first time I heard the term of being a pup was through a pup I met online, he was the first person I met who was like me,” he said. “Through him, I knew other pups and learned a whole new language of this other world that I didn’t know about with a whole bunch of other people who were like me.”

Now, James belongs to an online “pup play” community, which has helped him with his transition from a “part-time pooch to a confident canine,” according to the Mirror. (Read more from “Man Who Identifies as a Pup Wears a Fur Dog Suit, Barks, Licks, and Bites His Friends” HERE)

Man Who ‘Never Felt Human’ Now Lives His Life as a Dog

By The Mirror. Kaz says he always felt like there was something not right with other people when he was around them. . .

Single Kaz said: “I realised that my behaviours were quite dog-like in childhood, probably from the age of six. No-one ever talked about it, it was never mentioned.

“My parents took early retirement and we moved to a farm in Norfolk.

“It wasn’t until the internet arrived in our house that I started chatting to people online – mostly through groups and message boards.

“I was incredibly nervous when I first started talking to people online. I was living with my parents and I would sneak downstairs at three in the morning to get on the internet to look for this stuff. (Read more from “Man Who ‘Never Felt Human’ Now Lives His Life as a Dog” HERE)

Gillette Venus Ad Campaign Features Obese, Trans Models

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gillette’s new Gillette Venus advertisement campaign features morbidly obese women and transgender models. The company claims “ALL types of beautiful skin deserve to be shown,” but it has experienced resistance and widespread mockery on social media.

An advertisement featuring one obese model for the campaign, Anna, was captioned, “Go out there and slay the day.”

“Venus is committed to representing beautiful women of all shapes, sizes, and skin types because ALL types of beautiful skin deserve to be shown,” declared Gillette in a Twitter post. “We love Anna because she lives out loud and loves her skin no matter how the ‘rules’ say she should display it.” . . .

18-year-old transgender activist Jazz Jennings, who is one of the youngest transgender public figures in the world, is also a model for Gillette Venus’ new campaign.

Gillette was also at the center of an advertising controversy in January, after the company released a commercial attacking “toxic masculinity.”

Despite the commercial being widely mocked, receiving over 1.4 million dislikes opposed to just 785,000 likes, and becoming the 20th most disliked YouTube video ever as of February, Gillette parent company Procter & Gamble doubled down on the campaign.
