This is the adorable moment a one-year-old boy born with half a skull said ‘hello’ to his parents and fans.
Jaxon Buell, who has been nicknamed Jaxon Strong, was given just days to live at birth due to a rare neural-tube condition.
He surpassed expectations and celebrated his first birthday in August, with thousands of people from across the globe inundating his parents Brittany and Brandon, from Orlando, Florida, with messages of support.
Now, a 22-second clip has been posted on a Facebook page for Jaxon by his parents in a bid to thank friends and fans.
It starts by showing little Jaxon, who has Microhydranencephaly, lying on the floor as his parents Brittany and Brandon ask him to say ‘hi Germany’. (Read more from “Cute Video Shows Little Boy With Half a Skull – Who Trolls Said Should Have Been Aborted – Saying ‘Hello'” HERE)

By Randy DeSoto. Carly Fiorina has made defunding Planned Parenthood a top priority; but the organization that controls her charity, the Fiorina Foundation, has given nearly a half-a-million dollars to the group.
The Daily Beast reports that the Ayco Foundation (a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs), which controls the Fiorina Foundation, distributed $467,275 from 2011 to 2013 to various Planned Parenthoods, including those in New York City, Connecticut, and Indiana.
The Daily Beast described the arrangement that the Fiorina Foundation has with Ayco as akin to “a charitable savings account.” “The Ayco Charitable Foundation [is] a so-called ‘donor-advised fund,’ through which [the Fiorinas] distribute undisclosed sums to undisclosed recipients at undisclosed times,” according to the news outlet.
By contributing to the account, donors give up control of their cash or assets immediately and take the tax benefits, and then later advise the foundation what charities they would like to support.
Donor advised funds, like Ayco, do not disclose whose money gets donated to the various organizations to which the foundation contributes, so funds Fiorina and her husband contributed may or may not have gone to Planned Parenthood . . .
When Fiorina’s deputy campaign manager, Sarch Isgur Flores, was asked about the Planned Parenthood donations by Ayco, she said: “The Fiorinas absolutely have say over where their money goes and don’t have say over where other people’s money goes.” (Read more from “Revealed: Exactly Who Carly Fiorina’s Charity Donated $500,000 to – It Will Disturb You” HERE)

The Organization That Runs Carly Fiorina’s ‘Foundation’ Has Given Half a Million Dollars to Planned Parenthood
By The Week. Nothing has defined Carly Fiorina’s presidential campaign quite like her outspoken opposition to Planned Parenthood — a point she has brought up repeatedly at debates and press conferences. It might seem odd, then, that her Fiorina Foundation is run by an organization that has given half a million dollars to Planned Parenthood since 2011.
The Fiorina Foundation isn’t actually, legally, a foundation, per se; it’s an account Fiorina and her husband hold with The Ayco Charitable Foundation, a “donor-advised fund” that stashes charitable donations for clients in case they want to quickly receive tax benefits, The Daily Beast explains. One expert on the topic described it as “a charitable savings account”; Fiorina’s account just happens to be run by a charitable foundation, Ayco, that gives money to her supposed archenemy, distributing money to five Planned Parenthoods across New York, Connecticut, and Indiana:
If Fiorina feels as strongly as she claims that it’s an abomination for American tax dollars — including hers — to be forced to help fund Planned Parenthood, it’s perplexing that she would elect to be associated with any group that feels comfortable giving money to Planned Parenthood by choice — on behalf of an individual or not.
Asked if Fiorina has a problem with Ayco distributing funds to Planned Parenthood, and if she’s ever lobbied them to stop, [Fiorina’s deputy campaign manager Sarah Isgur] Flores said, “Carly has no control over those clients and their giving preferences.”
Asked why Fiorina doesn’t just find a donor-advised fund that vows never to give money to Planned Parenthood on behalf of anyone, Flores didn’t respond. [The Daily Beast]

Kathleen Willey, one of the women caught in the crossfire of alleged sexual harassment by former President Bill Clinton and what she characterizes as acts of intimidation to silence her, announced new plans to “haunt” Hillary Clinton throughout the 2016 presidential race and beyond.
During a radio interview Sunday, Willey delivered a message to Clinton: “I am going to be shadowing you every single place you go to remind people, especially young people, young women, college-aged students who don’t remember any of this. I want them to know all about this. Because once they do they are not going to be real proud of supporting her as the first women president.”
“I am going to haunt her everywhere she goes,” Willey stated of Clinton. “So she’s not going to get rid of me ever until she disappears.”
“And I have plans already for New Hampshire,” she said, referring to the Democratic Party presidential primaries . . .
The Clinton sex accuser used the interview to tease the October 13 publication of a new book by bestselling author Roger Stone entitled, “The Clintons’ War on Women,” for which Willey wrote the forward.

The Colorado School of Mines sought to boost fundraising by offering donors a nameplate with an inscription of their choice, only to reject one donor’s message because it included references to two Bible verses.
The Alliance Defending Freedom announced in a press release Thursday that it has filed a federal lawsuit against the school alleging that its refusal to accept the request was a violation of the donor’s constitutional rights.
As part of a fundraising campaign for the Clear Creek Athletics Complex, CSM offered “naming opportunities” entailing a personalized nameplate on lockers in the facility’s football locker room, upon which donors could place a message or quote up to three lines long.
Michael Lucas, a 2003 CSM graduate who once played for the school’s football team, decided to take the school up on its offer, donating $2,500 and requesting that his quote include references to two Bible verses: Colossians 3:23 and Micah 5:9.
The Colossians verse reads: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” The Micah verse states: “Your hand will be lifted up against your adversaries, and all your enemies will be cut off.” (Read more from “College in Colorado Denies Donor Request to Include Bible Verse on Plaque” HERE)

The interim chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party thinks the best place for the Ten Commandments monument is on the grounds of the Capitol.
But, now, that a judge has ordered the monument be removed by Oct. 12, Estela Hernandez feels the area outside her office is the second best location . . .
While it’s not a done deal, Hernandez has thrown the GOP name in the hat for the new home of the controversial monument. She said the words of the scripture are directly in line with the principles of the republican party.
“It’s a reminder that we truly are a people with moral laws, with moral values and, when we start to dismiss the notion that God should not be in our schoolhouse and in our government, that’s when we start to lose or start to see a decline of our culture,” she said. “Those [are] principles that define us as Americans, that define us as to what our framers intended our nation to be. They sought out those Christian values, they sought out God’s wisdom. And, I truly believe Oklahomans share in those values” . . .
The American Civil Liberties Union, which led the fight to remove the monument from the Capitol grounds, said it would have no problem with the republicans housing the monument. Since the statue would stand on private property, Legal Director Brady Henderson said the location is perfectly legal.

Three weeks after I left my job at the clinic, Planned Parenthood took me to court. I am always asked, “Why would they take you to court? Did they have something to hide?” Well, yes. They absolutely had something to hide. They didn’t want me sharing the information in this article. Let’s expose the truth, shall we?
Yes, I do realize that releasing this information puts me in a precarious situation. But it’s always better for the truth to be out…no matter the cost.
It was life changing. I remember the first time we were able to make an appointment with our new funding…it was called “The Justice Fund.” After we had given the woman all of the necessary information about her abortion appointment, we asked her if she wanted to apply for a funding program to help pay for her abortion. She of course said yes. We went through her income and expenses and determined she was eligible for funding. We informed her that she would only have to pay $100 of the $400 cost. The woman began to cry on the phone. So I began to cry. Wow. We were going to change so many lives with this money, this “Justice Fund” . . .
In 2003, there was a big scandal that broke out surrounding the company Pampered Chef. The majority of people selling this kitchenware were stay-at-home moms. Many of them were pro-life women. So imagine their surprise when they found out that the new owner of their company, Warren Buffett, had given millions to the abortion industry, primarily Planned Parenthood. Suddenly, there was a mass exodus from the company. Women were done selling their overpriced spatulas.
So, when Warren Buffett decided that he wanted to start this “Justice Fund” in order to donate $21 million a year to the abortion industry, you better believe that he wanted to remain anonymous. He tried to disguise the donations under the foundation started by him in the name of his wife, Susan Thompson Buffett. But the 990s are for public consumption. Anyone can see where they are spending their money. (Read more from “EXPOSED: The Billionaire Planned Parenthood Donor Who Wants His Donations Kept Very, Very Secret” HERE)

The Vatican confirmed Friday that Pope Francis held an audience with a gay former student and his partner in Washington, where the pontiff also met with Kim Davis.
The new twist in the controversial meeting Sept. 24 with Davis came to light after Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi released a statement Friday saying the “only real audience granted by the pope” at the Vatican Embassy in Washington “was with one of his former students and his family.”
Yayo Grassi, an openly gay man from Francis’ native Argentina and longtime friend of the pontiff, was that former student, Lombardi confirmed later Friday. Grassi, who has been in a same-sex relationship for 19 years, brought his partner and several friends to the Vatican Embassy in Washington for a brief visit.
Grassi told CNN that Francis has long known he is gay but never condemned his sexuality or relationship. Grassi said he and his partner had previously met with the pope in Rome. “He has never been judgmental,” Grassi told CNN. “He has never said anything negative.”
Lombardi confirmed Grassi had previously met with the pope. “As noted in the past, the pope, as pastor, has maintained many personal relationships with people in a spirit of kindness, welcome and dialogue,” Lombardi said in a statement.

Right to Life Australia has pulled out all stops to overturn the withdrawal of Troy Newman’s visa after he arrived in Australia early this morning. Since his arrival, Newman has been kept in a holding cell at Melbourne international airport.
Knowing that he had successfully boarded at Los Angeles and was on his way, one staff member even sacrificed her sleep to work throughout the night preparing documentation for a legal appeal the next morning, without knowing what change had enabled him to depart for Australia.
For Newman, getting through to Australia was surprisingly easy. Having been stopped at Denver, he had made his own way to Los Angeles on another airline. Once there, he boarded the aircraft of his original airline using the boarding passes still in his possession. “Nobody stopped him or questioned him or nothing when it came to boarding the plane,” according to Cheryl Sullenger from Operation Rescue.
United Airlines is facing a fine for allowing a passenger without a valid visa to travel to Australia. In an ironic twist, any fine applied would be against an airline that has been connected with supporting Planned Parenthood.
It has since been discovered that Newman’s notice of the withdrawal of his visa was sent to him via traditional postal mail to his United States address and not by email. (Read more from “American Pro-Life Leader Put Into Holding Cell After Landing in Australia, Here’s Why” HERE)

A California mom who says she was recently kicked out of a sporting goods store after alerting a manager that [a] man had frightened her young daughter in the women’s restroom is demanding answers – and a policy change – from the Washington-based chain.
The woman, who spoke to FoxNews.com but asked not to be identified, said she was shopping with her 12-year-old daughter and the girl’s younger friend when her daughter told her what had happened moments earlier at an REI sporting goods store during a shopping trip in late August.
“We started to drive to another store and she said to me, ‘Mom, I need to tell you something,’” said the woman. “I asked her what was wrong and she told me ‘A man used the bathroom while we were in there and it scared me.’”
When the mother turned the car around and went back to the store to confront the manager of the Santa Rosa store, she said she was stunned to learn that the man, who she said was not dressed in women’s clothes and did not appear outwardly to be transgender, had done nothing wrong in the eyes of the employees and other customers.
“I spoke with the manager and told her what happened,” the mother said. “She didn’t skip a beat. She told me that REI does not decide who people are or what they can do.” (Read more from “Calif. Mom Claims Retailer Booted Her for Complaining About Man in Girls’ Restroom” HERE)

A Massachusetts school superintendent is facing an investigation by police after he allegedly forced his way into a home Tuesday morning to search for proof a student enrolled in his district lived there.
Police in Mashpee told the Cape Cod Times they intend to probe claims that Brian Hyde, superintendent of the Mashpee school district, barged into a home without permission in an effort to determine whether 17-year-old Isabel King lived there. The incident followed district officials questioning of the girl’s eligibility to attend Mashpee High School, after her family had moved away for a year before returning.
Hyde demanded to “see if she lives here,” Marilyn King said, quoting the superintendent as also saying, “I need to see where is her bedroom. And I want to see the clothes.”
King and a nurse who was at the home on an insurance call said Hyde went upstairs and they could hear him opening and closing drawers. King told the paper she and her daughter moved to Florida last November after the mother got divorced, but had returned and been in the process of buying the home. She said she tried since late May to re-enroll her daughter, but was told she could not while they were living with a friend and purchasing the home.
Mashpee Police Chief Scott Carline told the newspaper he expected to begin an investigation soon. (Read more from “Massachusetts Schools Boss Faces Probe for Allegedly Barging Into Home on Residency Check” HERE)
