NAACP Calls Trump Racist After Its Own Poll Shows Improved Black Approval Rating

/0 Comments/in , /by

A poll by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People shows that President Donald Trump’s approval rating among black voters is nearly three times higher than the percent of blacks who voted for him in 2016, but the NAACP said the poll just confirms Trump’s racism.

According to the report accompanying the poll results, Trump’s improved approval rating among black voters doesn’t override the perceived negative impact the president is having on race relations.

“Our analysis shows President Trump’s racism is a major factor in both why and how people will vote in the midterm elections,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said. “The poll confirms how Trump’s racism has not only divided the nation and polluted policy, but also serves as a key factor in motivating voters of color to disrupt politics as usual on a national scale.”

The poll showed Trump’s approval rating among black voters as 21 percent. Trump only earned 8 percent of the black vote during the 2016 election.

His approval among black voters was lower than his rating among all the other polled minority groups: Latinos, Asian Americans and Native Americans. (Read more from “NAACP Calls Trump Racist After Its Own Poll Shows Improved Black Approval Rating” HERE)

FDA Acquiring Aborted Baby Parts for ‘Humanized Mice’

/0 Comments/in , /by

On July 25, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) signed a new contract to acquire human fetal tissue for purposes of transplanting into humanized mice.

“…the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Acquisitions and Grant Services (OAGS) intends to award a sole source contract to Advanced Bioscience Resources, Inc., ABR is the only company in the U. S. capable of supplying tissues suitable for HM research. No other company or organization is capable of fulfilling the need,” according to the FDA report. . .

“The Government intends to solicit and negotiate directly with Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) Inc. and no solicitation will be issued. The objective is to acquire Tissue for Humanized Mice,” as stated in the FDA report.

“The FDA’s June 13 presolicitation notice contended that Advanced Biosciences Resources was the only organization that could fulfill the new contract,” reported CNS News.

The House Appropriations Committee approved a bill to fund the Department of Health and Human Services for the fiscal year of 2019 in July. The bill includes language prohibiting the federal funding of research using human fetal tissue obtained through abortions.

Heartless Liberal Critics Mock Terminally Ill Texas Teen for His Make-A-Wish Request

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In March, 16-year-old Jeremiah Thomas was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive bone cancer. Since then, he has battled chemotherapy, radiation, a collapsed lung, paralysis, and, unfortunately, many social media trolls.

But Jeremiah also has forged an unlikely partnership with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and forgiven those who taunt him.

With perhaps only weeks left to live, Jeremiah—a former all-star, state champion football player from Waco, Texas—has been told numerous times on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook that he is not dying soon enough … because he took a stand for life.

“Cancer is giving your mom a late term abortion. Lmao [laughing my a– off],” one message said.

“Jeremiah … You aren’t dead yet? God do your job!” taunted another.

“Good Riddance,” another posted to Jeremiah’s prayer group page on Facebook, following with a one-star review.

Jeremiah’s mother, Kendra Thomas, quoted one person as saying Jeremiah has “a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic [sic], hateful” agenda, and another as saying “He’s garbage and is suffering as he deserves.”

All of this because Jeremiah made a “legacy wish” through the 38-year-old Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Jeremiah’s wish was to abolish abortion, and to do so he ended up asking for a meeting with Abbott, a pro-life Republican.

Jeremiah’s father is the Rev. Rusty Thomas, director of the pro-life activist group Operation Save America, based in Dallas and formerly called Operation Rescue. The teen made his reasoning public June 24 by posting “A Letter to My Generation,” describing his Christian faith and writing in part:

We have grown up in a culture of death, sexual confusion, immorality and fatherlessness. This culture of death I speak of consists of abortion, homosexuality and suicide.

One third of our generation has been wiped out due to abortion. Over 25 million people have died as a result of AIDS. Even without AIDS, the life expectancy of a homosexual man or woman is about 33 years shorter than that of a heterosexual.

More young people die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease combined.

We have been handed a bill of goods that has completely destroyed us. In our nation, we have chosen death and received the curse.

Jeremiah’s mother posted his story and a section of “A Letter to My Generation” to her Facebook page July 19. As of this week, it had been shared about 1,200 times and garnered 1,700 Facebook reactions.

In her post, Thomas shared Jeremiah’s struggle with his terminal illness, known as osteoblastic osteosarcoma, and the backlash he received from the left for his comments on the “culture of death.” She appealed to her audience to keep her son in prayer.

In a Facebook message Friday, Kendra Thomas told The Daily Signal:

When Jeremiah learned Make-a-Wish granted legacy wishes, he knew he wanted to use his wish to protect life. Jeremiah met with Make-a-Wish representatives and requested a sit-down meeting with Gov. Abbott. His wish was shared on Facebook. A number of people worked behind the scenes to make the governor aware of Jeremiah’s dying wish.

Gov. Abbott called Jeremiah in the hospital [June 17]. Jeremiah was able to speak to him about abolishing abortion.

Jeremiah’s family had set up a GoFundMe page three months ago to help raise money for surgery. It had reached $115,000 as of Aug. 1.

As a result of his bone cancer, Jeremiah became paralyzed from the waist down. Abbott has been paralyzed below the waist since a tree fell on him 34 years ago, when the future governor was 26.

“How would you feel if an army of abortion supporters, homosexuals, and social justice warriors flooded your child’s social media account to cyberbully him AS HE DIED?” Thomas asked in her public message July 19 on Facebook.

But while Jeremiah’s attackers were asking who is “the disgusting kid” who “could have gone to Disneyland for free,” his mother said, “Jeremiah was busy serving God.”

He spoke with the governor by phone from his hospital bed in June about passing a bill to abolish abortion in the state and make his “legacy wish” a reality.

“Your wish is on the Republican Party platform position and it’s what we’re going to be pursuing this next legislative session—that’s to outlaw abortion altogether in the state of Texas,” Abbott tells Jeremiah in a now viral video of their June 17 phone conversation, referring to proposed legislation.

“And so, your wish has [been] granted,” the governor said.

A spokeswoman for the Make-A-Wish Foundation for the Central and South Texas region told The Daily Signal in a phone interview that the organization is “not politically affiliated.”

Robbie Aaron, marketing and communications manager at the foundation’s North Texas chapter, said Wednesday that the chapter set up a shopping spree for Jeremiah a couple of weeks ago.

“We don’t discriminate in wishes. It’s not our place to judge what someone wants,” Aaron said.

As Kendra Thomas wrote Friday to The Daily Signal:

Make-a-Wish told us later that they were unable to fulfill the wish because it was political. They suggested a shopping spree, which Jeremiah accepted since the governor had already called. God worked it out.

Instead of letting the hate get to him, his mother said earlier, Jeremiah shut it out, even after he recently returned home for what could be the last time.

To the surprise of some, perhaps, Jeremiah had posted a photo of himself on Instagram that showed him praying, with the caption “Anyone need prayer?”

“He opened up his Instagram for prayer requests,” his mother wrote July 19 on Facebook, adding:

Jeremiah’s response to those who hate him is to bless them. To pray for them.

This is what he told me[:] ‘I pity them. To have that much darkness in your heart that you’d want a kid with cancer to die. Makes me wonder what happened to them in their life.

‘It’s a scary place to be—mentally and spiritually. I pray God would have mercy on them.’

… How can a 16-year-old terminal cancer patient forgive those who wish him dead?

Jesus. Jeremiah can forgive others because he’s been forgiven.

Millions Drop off Food Stamps Under Trump, Small Business Optimism Soars to All-Time High

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to new numbers recently released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, millions of Americans have left welfare checks behind after the program ballooned to record recipients under President Obama.

Further, a new Gallup poll shows small business optimism just hit an all time high. Here’s why:

U.S. small-business owners are more optimistic now than at any point in the 15-year history of the Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index. In the latest quarterly survey, which measures small-business owners’ attitudes about a wide variety of factors affecting their businesses, the overall index score is +118.

Big Mistake Led to Leak of Damning Info About Broward County Schools’ Handling of Nikolas Cruz

/0 Comments/in , /by

Broward County school officials made a huge mistake that resulted in the publication of private information about the student charged with murdering 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — and now they’re going after the reporters who published the info, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

The school district has asked that the Sun Sentinel and two of its reporters who published the private information be held in contempt of court for taking advantage of the school system’s mistake.

“They opted to report, publicly, information that this court had ordered to be redacted despite agreeing, on the record, that this information was protected by both Florida and federal law,” the district claims, according to court records.

Reporters and editors at the paper stand by the decision to release the information, and media lawyer Tom Julin doesn’t believe the paper did anything wrong.

“The problem is the School Board’s problem and not the Sun Sentinel’s,” Julin said. “The Sun Sentinel is entitled to publish the information that it lawfully obtained even if that information should have been redacted from the document that was released.” (Read more from “Big Mistake Led to Leak of Damning Info About Broward County Schools’ Handling of Nikolas Cruz” HERE)

After Being Destroyed Twice, This Is Now Happening to Trump’s Hollywood Star

/0 Comments/in , /by

The West Hollywood City Council called Monday night for President Trump’s star be removed from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, according to a tweet by the city’s mayor.

“West Hollywood City council unanimously passes resolution asking the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove the Donald Trump star on Hollywood Walk of Fame,” cheered Mayor John Duran on Twitter.

During the meeting, Mr. Duran said the resolution “is not because of his conservative politics or his conservative policies. It is for the abuse of women, minorities, immigrants, the disabled … you’ve crossed a line of decency.” . . .

“Unfortunately some of the comments made by the Trump supporters tonight are a reflection of that anger and angst and divisiveness. If anyone ever needed to solidify my vote on this, the Trump supporters who showed up tonight … pretty much solidified that what we’re doing is right.”

The Council put the resolution on its “consent calendar” for what it describes as “routine matters [that] can be acted on by one motion.” (Read more from “After Being Destroyed Twice, This Is Now Happening to Trump’s Hollywood Star” HERE)

Dems Step on Their Own Gender PC Rake and Get Slammed Right in the Face

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A conservative state lawmaker in Massachusetts demonstrated exceptionally well how conservatives need to fight in state legislatures last week, single-handedly defeating a bill that would allow people to list their genders as “X” on driver’s licenses or other forms of state ID.

Massachusetts Senate President Karen Spilka, D-Ashland, introduced S.2562, which would allow an individual to check “X” instead of male or female at the Registry of Motor Vehicles when the person is applying for a driver’s license, permit, or other form of identification. Praising the bill as a “joyous occasion” for kids’ lives, Spilka said if it would help people feel more comfortable in their gender confusion, “Why not do it?”

“There’s no reason for somebody to have to check off a box of male or female on their license,” she said, according to MassLive.

Social conservatives objected, and Rep. Jim Lyons, R-Andover, decided to throw the Democrats’ gender political correctness right back in their faces, claiming the proposed bill was discriminatory. Only listing three genders — male, female, and “X” — left out those who identify as “gender fluid,” or “gender questioning,” or “trigender,” “trans male,” “trans woman,” “androgynous,” “pangender,” or any one of Facebook’s 73 gender options, and Lyons was ready to do something about it.

The conservative lawmaker prepared 73 amendments to the bill to include each and every gender listed by Facebook. None of his proposed amendments could be ruled out of order, and under House rules, each required 10 minutes of debate with three minutes for a roll call vote. That’s over 15 hours of legislative time. If Democrats really wanted to include this piece of PC gender theory propaganda in law, they would have to go on record opposing each gender amendment vote and delay important votes on real issues.

The Massachusetts legislature’s website shows that Lyons was able to introduce 29 of his amendments before the Democrats surrendered and pulled the bill.

The Boston Herald’s Howie Carr reports that leaving the House building, a reporter asked Lyons why he tanked the gender “X” bill.

“Are you saying you want to leave some genders behind?” Lyons replied.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you turn a premise against the Left and whack them over the heads with it to defeat their dumb proposed laws.

Bravo. (For more from the author of “Dems Step on Their Own Gender PC Rake and Get Slammed Right in the Face” please click HERE)

Pope Francis Rewrites Catholicism… and the Bible

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last week, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis had changed the Catholic catechism. After 2,000 years of teaching that a moral use of capital punishment for murder is consistent with Catholic teaching, the pope announced that the catechism, the church fathers and St. Thomas Aquinas, among the other great Catholic theologians, were all wrong.

And God and the Bible? They’re wrong, too.

Pope Francis, the product of Latin American liberation theology — along with many other Catholic religious and lay leaders — is remaking Catholicism in the image of leftism, just as mainstream Protestant leaders have been rendering much of mainstream Protestantism a branch of leftism, and non-Orthodox Jewish clergy and lay leaders have been rendering most non-Orthodox synagogues and lay institutions left-wing organizations.

The notion that it is immoral to execute any murderer — no matter how heinous the murder, no matter how many innocents he has murdered, no matter how incontrovertible the proof of guilt — is an expression of emotion, not of reason or natural law or Christian theology or biblical theology. . .

But the Bible makes it clear capital punishment for murder is applicable to all of humanity. It is the first law God gives Noah after the flood, after commanding him to be fruitful and multiply. Putting murderers to death is therefore the first moral law God gives the world. Why this draconian penalty for murder? Because the penalty is a statement about the seriousness of a crime, and the God of the Bible deems the wrongful, deliberate taking of a human life the pinnacle of injustice. Allowing all murderers to keep their own lives diminishes the evil of murder and thereby cheapens the worth of the human being. In God’s words, “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image” (Genesis 9:6).

Lawmaker Under Heavy Fire After Stomach-Churning Nude Photo Scandal Breaks

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In what was easily the most stomach-churning, dispiriting political story of the week, an Illinois state representative has resigned after his ex-girlfriend alleged he used naked photos of her to lure men into explicit, sexually charged online discussions.

According to Politico, first-term Illinois state Rep. Nick Sauer was drummed out after Kate Kelly, his former girlfriend, filed a complaint with the Illinois’ Office of the Legislative Inspector General.

Kelly’s complaint stated Sauer used the pictures on an Instagram account “to catfish other men using my privately shared naked photos. Nick would use this account to direct message men with my photos to engage in graphic conversations of a sexual nature. The men believed they were communicating with me and Nick shared private details of my life.”

The complaint also claims Kelly has filed a complaint with the Chicago Police Department over Sauer’s use of the photos and that law enforcement is conducting “an active investigation” into the allegations. Chicago Police have not yet responded to a Freedom of Information Act request in the matter.

Kelly told Politico that the two started a long-distance relationship on dating app Tinder and that she moved to Chicago in 2017 to be with him. However, the two broke up earlier this year, apparently because Sauer was seeing other women. (Read more from “Lawmaker Under Heavy Fire After Stomach-Churning Nude Photo Scandal Breaks” HERE)

Listen: Man Suffering From Incurable Neurological Disease Releases Tapes of Hospital Staff Seemingly Offering Assisted Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Canadian man suffering from an incurable neurological disease, who is hospitalized but has repeatedly asked to live at home, has released tapes of hospital staff seemingly offering him help seeking a medically-assisted death.

As CTV reports, Roger Foley, 42, who suffers from cerebellar ataxia which impedes his ability to move his arms and legs, filed a lawsuit against a London, Ontario hospital, several health agencies, the Ontario government and the federal government earlier this year, alleging that health officials would not provide him with an assisted home care team of his choosing.

Foley has now released audio recordings of conversations he had with two health care workers at Victoria Hospital London Health Sciences Centre, where he has resided since February 2016.

One audio recording from September 2017 features Foley speaking of his “forced discharge,” asking the health care worker how much he’d have to pay to remain in the hospital. After the man tells him, “I don’t know what the exact number is, but it is north of $1,500 a day,” Foley argues that the Ontario health minister said that was “not legal.” The health care worker replies that the hospital does not use “this conversation in every situation … It is only in situations where somebody has a plan in the community that is feasible that they’re not going to accept and that’s okay.” . . .

The health care worker states, “Roger, this is not my show. I told you my piece of this was to talk to you about if you had interest in assisted dying.” (Read more from “Listen: Man Suffering From Incurable Neurological Disease Releases Tapes of Hospital Staff Seemingly Offering Assisted Death” HERE)
