A Georgia school district is investigating after video, [the video has now been taken down] of a mass baptism was posted on YouTube.
The video, posted by First Baptist Villa Rica, was shot on school grounds just before football practice. “We had the privilege of baptizing a bunch of football players and a coach on the field of Villa Rica High School! We did this right before practice! Take a look and see how God is STILL in our schools!” the caption with the video reads . . .
The Carroll County School system released a statement Tuesday afternoon:
“The Carroll County School System was made aware of a situation that took place at Villa Rica High School prior to football practice on August 17th. The District is currently looking into the specifics of this situation and will take appropriate steps to ensure all state and federal laws are followed.”
The Freedom from Religion Foundation sent a letter to Carroll County Tuesday asking the district to “immediately investigate and take action to ensure there will be no further illegal religious events”. In the letter, the FFRF mentioned its lawsuit against Emanuel County School District for similar practices. The group is now seeking punitive and personal liability damages in that case. “We prefer to settle these matters cooperatively,” the letter ends with a request to detail the steps the school district is taking to comply with the First Amendment.

By Steven Ertelt. A new report indicates the Planned Parenthood abortion business has spent $517,000 defending itself as a series of undercover investigative videos have exposed its practice of selling aborted babies and their body parts for research after killing the babies in abortions. Planned Parenthood currently receives $550 million in taxpayer funds annually despite the fact that it is the nation’s leading abortion business — killing over 330,000 babies in abortions every year.
The House of Representatives is planning a vote on legislation that would de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, which has been caught selling aborted babies and their body parts. The vote would follow one the Senate had weeks ago, which saw Senate Democrats filibuster and block legislation to revoke $550 million in taxpayer funding.
The Washington Post has more on how Planned Parenthood is defending itself:
Planned Parenthood is using virtually every tool in its lobbying arsenal to defend against attacks from conservatives and anti-abortion activists.
Planned Parenthood’s counter-offensive is widespread and varied and is unfolding inside and outside the Beltway. The group has been organizing rallies, flooding lawmakers’ town hall meetings, commissioning polls, shelling out six figures for television ads and hiring forensics experts to try to discredit undercover video footage that sparked the controversy.

New Video: Planned Parenthood Doctor Caught Admitting She Can Hide Profit From Selling Aborted Babies
By Steven Ertelt. The Center for Medical Progress released a supplemental video today that sheds more light on the profit Planned Parenthood makes associated with the ale of aborted babies and their body parts.
Earlier this month, the pro-life organization released a video catching a Planned Parenthood official discussing how the abortion business sells “fully intact” aborted babies. The video provides evidence showing the Planned Parenthood abortion business may be selling the “fully intact” bodies of unborn babies purposefully born alive and left to die.
Today’s 28-minute supplemental video provides additional proof of that and also shows how Planned Parenthood is making and hiding profits from the sales in an attempt to get around federal law banning the practice.
In the video Director of Research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, Melissa Farrell, admits how the Houston Planned Parenthood abortion clinic is a high volume abortion facility that provides a large number of abortions in the second trimester of pregnancy. She admits the abortion center provides a high volume of fetal remains to biologic companies and discusses how abortion practitioners at this facility are able and willing to alter abortion procedures in order to ensure intact remains that can then be sold to biologic companies.
Farrell also admits that abortion practitioners at this facility actually conduct their own experimentation on human fetal remains obtained during abortions. She said price for the fetal remains are broken down by Planned Parenthood into “line items” and “baked” into contracts involving the sale of fetal remains. (Read more from this story HERE)
An English class offered at UNC Chapel Hill this fall called “Literature of 9/11” explores the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks from the perspective of radical Islamists and those who view America as an imperialist nation.
The reading assignments for the class, which includes poems, memoirs and graphic novels, present terrorists in a sympathetic light and American political leaders as greedy, war hungry and corrupt, according to a review by The College Fix.
The readings mostly focus on justifying the actions of terrorists – painting them as fighting against an American regime, or mistaken idealists, or good people just trying to do what they deem right. None of the readings assigned in the freshman seminar present the Sept. 11 attacks from the perspective of those who died or from American families who lost loved ones.
“ENGL 72: Literature of 9/11” is taught by Neel Ahuja, an associate professor of English, comparative literature, and geography at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
“Neel grew up in Topeka, Kansas. He studied transnational cultural studies at the University of California, San Diego and gender studies at Northwestern University, where he was a student organizer and labor solidarity activist,” according to his online faculty bio.

By Kyle Olson. Public schools across the country are throwing their doors open for another year of learning.
That can mean only one thing: the drudgery of school lunches influenced by Michelle Obama’s rules.
September 30 is the deadline for Congress to reauthorize — or change — the National School lunch Program. The program was changed dramatically in 2010 when the Democratically-controlled Congress passed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act — legislation that was championed by First Lady Michelle Obama.
Those members of Congress who are concerned about the success of the program may want to challenge their colleagues to taste test a sampling of these “creations” . . .
So far, few Republicans have been serious about changing the program that’s causing these lunches to be served. Will they listen to their constituents — and future voters — or Washington, D.C. bureaucrats who want to dictate what children will eat?

Study: Many Students Throwing out Fruits, Vegetables From School Lunches
By CBS Connecticut. Though many students may be loading up fruits and vegetables on their lunch trays, a lot of those aren’t actually being eaten.
New federal guidelines that require healthier school lunches are in effect, but a lot of children are simply throwing out fruits and vegetables instead of eating them, according to a new study.
University of Vermont researchers conducted a small study using digital photos to capture students’ lunch trays after selecting food, as they were leaving the lunch line, and then again after they passed their lunch trays to the food disposal area, as reported by CBS News. The study indicates that while more children are placing fruits and vegetables on their trays, they’re consuming fewer of them, with food waste increasing by 56 percent.
“We saw this as a great opportunity to access the policy change and ask a really important question, which was, ‘Does requiring a child to select a fruit or vegetable under the updated national school lunch program guidelines that came into effect in 2012 correspond with increased fruit and vegetable consumption?’” lead study author Sarah Amin told CBS News. “The answer was clearly no.”
The team of researchers evaluated hundred of tray observations over the course of 21 visits to two elementary school, both before and after the USDA guidelines were implemented. (Read more from ” Study: Many Students Throwing out Fruits, Vegetables From School Lunches” HERE)

Multiple professors at Washington State University have explicitly told students their grades will suffer if they use terms such as “illegal alien,” “male,” and “female,” or if they fail to “defer” to non-white students.
According to the syllabus for Selena Lester Breikss’ “Women & Popular Culture” class, students risk a failing grade if they use any common descriptors that Breikss considers “oppressive and hateful language.”
The punishment for repeatedly using the banned words, Breikss warns, includes “but [is] not limited to removal from the class without attendance or participation points, failure of the assignment, and— in extreme cases— failure for the semester” . . .
Much like in Selena Breikss’s classroom, students taking Professor Rebecca Fowler’s “ Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies” course will see their grades suffer if they use the term “illegal alien” in their assigned writing.
According to her syllabus, students will lose one point every time they use the words “illegal alien” or “illegals” rather than the preferred terms of “‘undocumented’ migrants/immigrants/persons.” Throughout the course, Fowler says, students will “come to recognize how white privilege functions in everyday social structures and institutions.” (Read more from “College Professors Threaten Bad Grades for Saying These ‘Hateful’ Words” HERE)

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, has taken issue with Hillary Clinton’s remarks last week comparing terrorists to Republicans engaged in a so-called war on women.
“This woman wrote the book on terrorizing women, on terrorism,” exclaimed Willey during an interview Sunday on Aaron Klein’s Investigative Radio program.
Continued Willey: “Her tactics and the things that she set in motion against all the women like me, the ones you have heard of and the ones you haven’t heard of, and the ones who are so scared that fled the country, are terrorist tactics like I’ve never seen before.” . . .
“This is a woman who is comparing the Republicans to terrorists?” Willey asked Klein. “Terrorists who behead women, who deface women, who burn women alive. And on and on and on and on?”
“And I can tell you, knowing what I know, and reading what I’ve read, and having talked to people, other women, who have been in the same boat that I have been in, basically in the crosshairs of the Clintons. The one difference between me and the poor women who are the victims of ISIS and all the other terrorist groups is that our heads are still attached. That’s the difference.” (Read more from “Bill Clinton Sexual Harassment Accuser: Hillary ‘Wrote the Book on Terrorizing Women'” HERE)

A Norwegian woman who attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, recounts the story of how she was raped nearly six years ago.
Monika Kørra barely spoke English when she was granted a full scholarship to run cross-country at SMU. In December 2009 in the middle of her sophomore year, Kørra was walking with her girlfriends to another friend’s car after a party near the SMU campus – but she never got to the car.
“Before I knew it, I just had someone grabbing me from behind and I had a gun to my head,” Kørra said in an interview with WFAA . . .
After 90 minutes, the assailants dropped Kørra off at a field in South Dallas. Kørra began to cry once she realized she survived the attack. She was naked, afraid, and alone. Ultimately, a man came to her rescue, followed by law enforcement . . .
The Norwegian’s stolen cell phone led to the arrest of Arturo Arevalo, Alfonso Zuniga and Luis Zuniga. Arevalo and Alfonso Zuniga were sentenced to life in prison, while Luis Zuniga was sentenced to 25 years. Amazingly, Kørra is finding it in her heart to forgive her attackers.
“For me, forgiveness is not by any means becoming friends with them… it’s not about that,” she said. “It’s all about finding peace by letting go of all this, and that’s about me.” (Read more from “She Was Brutally Raped Multiple Times…Years Later, She Went to See Her Attacker for 1 Shocking Reason” HERE)

She’s nothing if not provocative — some would say profane. The former teen idol who got her big break on the Disney Channel, pop music sensation Miley Cyrus has just said something that may further roil the already agitated waters of presidential politics. And the candidate about whom Cyrus made the surprising comment is, himself, well known for stirring things up quite a bit.
In an interview with The New York Times, Cyrus reflected on the explosive reaction to her ‘twerking’ performance on the MTV Video Music Awards show a couple of years ago. The singer is getting ready to host the 2015 version of the MTV awards show.
The Times’ description of those few shocking moments on stage in 2013 notes that even MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski slammed Cyrus’ more-than-suggestive gyrations as “raunchy porn that’s disgusting and disturbing.”
“The last time Ms. Cyrus took the stage at the Video Music Awards, two years ago, she performed, tongue unleashed, with giant teddy bears (stepping out of one, into her new reality), a phallic foam finger and a pre-crash Robin Thicke [her partner in the twerking performance] — prompting a thousand think pieces about slut-shaming, racial appropriation for her use of black female dancers and the meaning of twerking,” according to the piece in The New York Times.
Buried in the Times article, as almost a throw-away tidbit, is the claim by Miley Cyrus that she got a surprise phone call the day after her daring display of “talent” on the MTV broadcast — a call from the man whose name was on the hotel where she was staying. Times reporter Joe Coscarelli quotes Cyrus as saying:
I was staying at the Trump Hotel and Donald Trump literally called and said, basically, “I know everyone’s talking about it, but I loved it.”

If you get your news exclusively from BuzzFeed, then today is the first day you’ve even heard of the Center for Medical Progresses’s Planned Parenthood sting videos. Why? Because Planned Parenthood hired someone to try and prove the sting videos were faked in an attempt to discredit CMP. And that’s what BuzzFeed reported:
First of all, are you sh***ing me?
Secondly, this is pure evil. BuzzFeed has taken sides and is actively defending an organization which butchers babies and sells their parts. And then they’re pretending to be a news organization.
The byline of this “article:”
A new analysis of hidden-camera videos shows deceptive editing was used to portray a Planned Parenthood official discussing fetal tissue procurement. Tapes were spliced to mislead viewers at least 42 times in five tapes, the analysis says.
Really? What, did BuzzFeed finally do their due diligence and take a look at the FULL VIDEOS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLIC FOR EVERYONE TO SEE with every quote in context? Nope. And yet even in the full videos, Planned Parenthood is butchering children and selling their parts. So…
Thirdly, Planned Parenthood PAID the company to “FIND” the “misleading” edits. That’s like Budweiser funding a group to find that alcoholism is no big deal. Or Starbucks paying a group to find that caffeine is the new cure to cancer (I maintain that it is). Those of us with what is commonly referred to as a “brain” call this a “conflict of interest.”
Hidden-camera videos depicting abortion doctors discussing the use of fetal organs for research were deceptively edited to mislead viewers, a Planned Parenthood-sponsored analysis revealed on Thursday. The reproductive health organization called the tapes a “fraud.”
From the Planned Parenthood-funded report:
While these analysts found no evidence that CMP inserted dialogue not spoken by Planned Parenthood staff, their review did conclude that CMP edited content out of the alleged “full footage” videos, and heavily edited the short videos so as to misrepresent statements made by Planned Parenthood representatives.
CMP released this statement in response to Planned Parenthood:
Planned Parenthood’s desperate, 11th-hour attempt to pay their hand-picked “experts” to distract from the crimes documented on video is a complete failure. The absence of bathroom breaks and waiting periods between meetings does not change the hours of dialogue with top-level Planned Parenthood executives eager to manipulate abortion procedures to get high-quality baby parts for financially profitable sale. While even Planned Parenthood’s “experts” found “no evidence of audio manipulation” in the recordings, it is telling that Planned Parenthood is trying so hard to pretend that their staff did not refer to a dismembered fetus as “a baby” and “another boy.” Planned Parenthood’s abortion providers are far more honest about the brutal reality of their work than the paid political consultants at the national office. If Planned Parenthood really wants to disprove the now-overwhelming body of evidence that their affiliates traffick in baby body parts, they should release their fetal tissue contracts with the for-profit company StemExpress for law enforcement, Congress, and all the world to see.
So what’s really going on here? A giant cover up. BuzzFeed is attempting to cover up abortion. BuzzFeed is trying to defend Planned Parenthood by attacking the Center for Medical Progress. BuzzFeed knows their audience is largely uneducated on current politics, and that if it doesn’t exist on the BuzzFeed homepage, it may as well not exist at all.
So rather than cover the story accurately, or at all (they’ve never posted on the videos as they were released), they decide to try and discredit the entire thing with a “SELECTIVELY EDITED” headline. It’s a glaring bias that often occurs by omission.
As a matter of fact, I have some direct experience with BuzzFeed. When I was working as a freelance writer, I was put in touch with “BuzzFeed Ben” (Ben Smith) to pitch a column. Ben Howe was the one who facilitated the introduction. He heads up their Politics division. He was actually very polite, but the response ended with this:
Don’t. Do. Opinion Columns.
Of course, they have the right to refuse any pitch, and that’s not what this is about. Do me a favor. Go check out BuzzFeed.com and tell me if that’s what you see. Tell me if you see hard-hitting journalism, straight down the middle news, unbiased reporting or hell… even strong, original content.
Or maybe, tell me if you see nothing more than opinion commentary, thinly veiled as borderline plagiaristic “aggregation.”
Of course BuzzFeed does opinion. They only do opinion. The issue here is: they only do FAR-LEFT opinion. They lie to their constituency. The worst part is that their audience will never know. The bias occurs not only when BuzzFeed flat-out lies (as they have today) but by all of the stories they choose not to cover. In this case, all of those innocent babies lives that they opted not to acknowledge, to brush under the rug. But you know…. they don’t “do opinion.”
Evil bastards. (Re-posted with permission, “LEAKED: BuzzFeed Tries to Defend Planned Parenthood and They’re Caught in Blatant Lies…” originally appeared HERE)

Donald Trump told Mark Halperin yesterday that his sister, a federal judge, would be a “phenomenal” Supreme Court justice. He also said that “we will have to rule that out now, at least.”
If he ever becomes president, let’s hope he rules it out permanently. Maryanne Trump Barry came up in my book The Party of Death for writing one of those heated judicial decisions in favor of giving constitutional protection to partial-birth abortion. She called a New Jersey law against it a “desperate attempt” to undermine Roe v. Wade. It was, she wrote, “based on semantic machinations, irrational line-drawing, and an obvious attempt to inflame public opinion instead of logic or medical evidence.” It made no difference where the fetus was when it “expired.”
So: The right of abortionists to make a child “expire” by partially extracting her from the womb, sticking scissors in the back of her head, vacuuming out her brain, and crushing her skull to complete her extraction, is right there in the Constitution. But let’s please not have any “semantic machinations.” (Read more from “Donald Trump PRAISES His Sister, a Pro-Abortion Extremist Judge” HERE)
