Democrat Proposes Abortion Bill More Disgusting Than New York’s

/0 Comments/in , /by

The furor over Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s inhumane pro-abortion bill in New York, which allows abortion up to 24 weeks, has yet to subside. But on the heels of his signature, a lawmaker in the state of Virginia has introduced an even more radical piece of legislation. Virginia House of Delegates member Kathy Tran (D-Fairfax) has offered up a bill would allow a mother to get an abortion at the very end of her third trimester. Subcommittee Chair Del. Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah) had to hear it to believe it.

In the video, Gilbert asks Tran up until what point physicians be allowed to perform an abortion. She was very candid.

“Through the third trimester,” she said. “The third trimester goes all the way up to 40 weeks.” . . .

Pro-lifers are shocked that the extreme is suddenly becoming the new normal.

Is There a ‘Crisis’ at the Border? This Border Patrol Agent’s Answer Stuns Reporter

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. A CBS News reporter appeared to be stunned when a Border Patrol agent told her that the crisis at the border was the worst that he has seen in decades.

Custom & Border Patrol agent Fernando Grijalva told Mireya Villarreal what he had seen at the border between the United States and Mexico in the state of Arizona. . .

“Let me put it this way, I’ve seen six different presidents in the time that I’ve been with the Border Patrol, and this is the worst crisis that I’ve seen,” he explained.

“You actually will use that word, ‘crisis’?” she asked.

“Yes,” he responded. (Read more from “Is There a ‘Crisis’ at the Border? This Border Patrol Agent’s Answer Stuns Reporter” HERE)

Donald Trump Says He Would Be OK With Second Government Shutdown If Border Wall Doesn’t Get Funding

By Inquisitr. On Sunday morning, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told reporters that Donald Trump is willing to undergo a second government shutdown should Congress refuse to fund his border wall. According to the Associated Press, should an agreement not be reached, the shutdown will resume on February 15.

Mulvaney spoke to both Face the Nation on CBS and Fox News Sunday regarding the very real possibility that a second government shutdown might be on the horizon. If that occurs, all the government agencies that have just been reopened will once again be shut down — leaving a lot of federal workers scrambling to survive without a paycheck.

“What he wants to do is fix this the way that things are supposed to get fixed with our government which is through legislation,” Mulvaney said during an interview. . .

After an unprecedented 35-day federal shutdown that left 800,000 federal employees without work, Trump gave in and agreed to reopen the government — without any funding agreed in for his $5.7 billion border wall. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly said Congress will not finance a border wall or barrier wall, calling the move “immoral.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Says He Would Be OK With Second Government Shutdown If Border Wall Doesn’t Get Funding” HERE)

Brace Yourselves: The Mueller Probe May FINALLY Be Completed

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a press conference on Monday Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election is coming to an end.

“The investigation is, I think, close to being completed, and I hope that we can get the report from Director Mueller as soon as possible,” Whitaker said. “I’ve been fully briefed, and I look forward to Mueller delivering the final report. Right now, the investigation is close to being completed…Fundamentally, the Mueller investigation has a very defined scope.” . . .

According to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), Whitaker’s remarks were inappropriate, clearly referencing Whitaker’s past comments on limiting Mueller’s authority:

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told Fox News the Trump administration wants as much information as possible to be released to the public. (Read more from “Brace Yourselves: The Mueller Probe May FINALLY Be Completed” HERE)

Harry Potter Actor Won’t Root for Tom Brady in the Super Bowl Over Trump Hat

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Harry Potter” actor Daniel Radcliffe says he won’t be rooting for Tom Brady and the Patriots in the Super Bowl next weekend because Brady was once pictured with a “Make America Great Again” hat in his locker.

The sight of the hat, which appeared in Brady’s locker during a postgame interview in September 2015, still haunts Radcliffe, Fox News reports. Radcliffe admitted his aversion in an interview at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this weekend. He was there to promote his new TBS comedy, “Miracle Workers,” which follows Heaven’s office workers and aides to God, played by Steve Buscemi.

“The whole world is rooting against the Patriots … sorry,” Radcliffe said. “Take that MAGA hat out of your locker! I feel like that was the moment when as a country we were all like, ‘Come on, dude! You’re awesome…Don’t put that in here.” . . .

Brady has been coy about any further support for Trump, however, telling reporters during the same interview that actually voting for Trump was different from golfing with him or sharing a meal with him.

I don’t know. Am I going to vote for him? That’s a good question. He’s a good friend and we’ve had a lot of time on the golf course together over the years probably not as much recently but in my younger days when I would have more time that I could spend doing those type of things before there were kids, we spent a lot of times golfing together and so forth. It’s pretty amazing what he’s been able to accomplish as an entrepreneur, and then really as a television star, and now running for political office. People who can do those types of things and can transition into different arenas and still have that type of appeal and carryover, he’s obviously appealing to a lot of people and he’s a hell of a lot of fun to play golf with.

The rumor mill is churning again. This time, there’s chatter that former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is considering running against President Donald Trump…but as an independent. Democrats are freaking out over the possibility because they believe Schultz could hand the election to Trump.

Schultz reaffirmed Democrats’ fear during an interview with “60 Minutes” on Sunday. Here are some highlights:

WATCH: Here’s What a Late-Term Abortion Procedure Actually Looks Like. It’s Horrifying.

/0 Comments/in , /by

This week, New York Senate Democrats passed the euphemistically-named Reproductive Health Act, legislation which allows abortion up to the moment of birth, loosens restrictions on who performs them, and removes the fatal procedure from the state’s criminal code.

The truth is, the reality of abortion is so gruesome that abortion activists rely heavily on euphemism and secrecy. For example, it’s been shown time and again that self-described “pro-choice” folks change their mind about abortion after they’re shown what the fatal procedure actually entails — and, no, it’s not remotely comparable to a “dentist appointment,” as we are commonly told by left-wing activists.

So how exactly is a late-term abortion carried out? What will it look like when abortionists in New York state kill the unborn from 25 weeks to birth? In short: infanticide.

Dr. Anthony Levatino, a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist who performed over 1,200 abortions before he became pro-life, explains the horrifying procedure in a video for pro-life organization Live Action.

“At this point, the baby is almost fully developed and viable, meaning he or she could survive outside the womb if the mother were to go into labor prematurely. Because the baby is so large and developed, the procedure takes three or four days to complete,” says Levatino (video below).

Students Thought the Shutdown Was Trump’s Fault…but More Information Changed Their Minds

/0 Comments/in , /by

George Mason University students were shocked that President Donald Trump attempted to make compromises with Democrats to get the border wall built, as shown on a video from CampusReform.org posted Friday.

Cabot Phillips, the media director for CampusReform, went to the campus recently to talk to students. He asked them who they blamed the government shutdown on. All of the students in the video said Trump. . .

Phillips then asked students if Democrats should consider Trump’s offer for a wall if he agreed to provide protections for DREAMers, put 800 million dollars into humanitarian aid and increase funding for immigration judges to tackle the backlog of immigration cases. All of the students agreed.

Phillips then revealed that Trump made those offers to Democrats, and the students were stunned that Democrats didn’t take the deal into consideration. Many of them uttered laughs of shock and disbelief when they heard the truth. . .

The video was published hours before President Trump announced from the White House that he was able to secure a deal that would temporarily end the government shutdown until Feb 15. (Read more from “Students Thought the Shutdown Was Trump’s Fault…but More Information Changed Their Minds” HERE)

Ted Cruz Shuts Down Dem Senator’s Anti-Wall Tirade

/0 Comments/in , /by

Things got a little heated on the Senate floor Thursday afternoon as the chamber prepared to vote on two contrasting plans to end the partial government shutdown (both of which ultimately failed).

It all began with remarks from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, making the case for passing a measure to pay members of the Coast Guard.

Sen. Michael Bennett, D-Colo., responded with a floor speech in which he likened Cruz’s concerns to “crocodile tears” and lambasted Republicans for partially shutting down the federal government over funding for what he called a “medieval wall.”

Here’s Bennet’s full tirade:

https://youtu.be/1LlCn-HZDuYSen. Ted Cruz, however, was not about to take Bennett’s rant lying down. He fired back with a passionate rebuttal, seizing on Bennet’s use of the word “medieval.”

“I find it amusing a new adjective has creeped in,” Cruz responded. “It’s medieval wall. “I don’t know if there’s something in there that has a moat and has catapults and they’re throwing burning tar. Medieval wall now.”

“It does raise the question,” Cruz continued. “If walls are medieval, why did the senator from Colorado and every other Democrat in 2013 vote for 350 miles of medieval wall? To the extent walls are medieval, they were presumably were medieval in 2013 just as much as they are now.”

For reference, Senate Democrats not only voted for physical border security, but also to axe chain migration and the visa lottery back in 2013.

But Cruz wasn’t finished. He went on to call out Bennet, who does not represent a border state, for taking to the Senate floor to lecture his colleagues “about what it’s like on the border and what works securing the border.”

You can watch Cruz’s rebuttal here. It starts just after the three-hour mark. (For more from the author of “Ted Cruz Shuts Down Dem Senator’s Anti-Wall Tirade” please click HERE)

GOP Senators Introduce Bill to Relax Regulations on Firearms Suppressors

/0 Comments/in , /by

A handful of Republican senators are trying to make it easier for hunters and recreational shooters to get equipment to better protect their hearing, but don’t expect the anti-gun crowd to go along with it.

On Thursday, GOP Sens. Mike Lee, Utah, John Cornyn, Texas, Rand Paul, Ky., James Risch, Id., and Mike Crapo, Id., introduced the “Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act of 2019,” which would “ensure the elimination of all federal regulations of suppressors.”

“Suppressors can make shooting safer for the millions of hunters and sportsmen that exercise their constitutional right to use firearms every year,” reads a statement from Lee’s office. “The current process for obtaining a suppressor is far too expensive and burdensome. Our bill would remove these unnecessary federal regulations and make it easier for firearms users to protect themselves.”

Given that there aren’t 60 Republicans to prevent a filibuster on this and the House speaker’s gavel is currently held by the vehemently anti-gun Nancy Pelosi, this legislation realistically has less than a snowball’s chance of making it to the president’s desk during this session of Congress.

But bills like this also spark conversations and debates to move cultural needle on an issue. And there’s a lot of complete misinformation out there about suppressors.

Suppressors, colloquially referred to as “silencers,” are non-lethal gun accessories that lower the volume of a gunshot, which, the press release notes, goes from around the level of an airplane takeoff to that of a running chainsaw.

If it’s been said once, it’s been said a thousand times, the term “silencer” is a gross and widespread misnomer. Suppressors don’t silence guns at all. They simply suppress the sound; hence the term. Don’t believe everything you see in movies. These devices aren’t as good at creating the kind of muffled “pew pew” sound that an international spy would need to discreetly assassinate someone outside a European cafe in broad daylight as Hollywood and the anti-gun lobby might lead you to believe. But they’re great at mitigating hearing damage for hunters and sportsmen who shoot on a regular basis.

If you don’t believe that, here’s some video of suppressors at work.

Despite this reality, suppressors are regulated much in the same way that fully automatic machine guns and short-barreled shotguns are. This means that there’s an extensive, expensive, and bureaucratic process to get hold of one legally. That process is what this bill is trying to end.

Here’s the Draft of Trump’s Order Declaring a National Emergency to Build the Border Wall

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. President Donald Trump is planning to declare a national emergency at the border and use the powers from such a declaration to order the construction of a border wall, according to a draft of the order published by CNN. . .

“The massive amount of aliens who unlawfully enter the United States each day is a direct threat to the safety and security of our nation and constitutes a national emergency,” reads the draft order.

“Now, therefore, I, Donald J. Trump, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C 1601, et seq.), hereby declare that a national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States,” the draft says.

Critics of the president have warned that if he were to take such an action that it would likely be met with legal challenges. Even some Republicans have cautioned against using the emergency powers of the executive in this manner.

Trump Issues New Position on Border Wall as Congress Debates Deal to End Shutdown

By The Blaze. President Donald Trump signaled Thursday that he was willing to make a concession to Democrats on funding for his border wall in order to strike a deal and reopen the government.

The government has been partially shut down for 34 days, and is affecting about 800,000 federal employees directly.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders indicated that the president was willing to accept less than the $5.7 billion for border wall funding in a continuing resolution deal, as long as it contained a “down payment” for the wall.

Trump then addressed reporters on negotiations between Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to reopen the government on a continuing budget resolution.

“Well one of the ideas suggested is they open it,” Trump said, apparently referring to the government, “they pay a sort of a prorated down payment for the wall, which I think, people will agree, that you need.” (Read more from “Trump Issues New Position on Border Wall as Congress Debates Deal to End Shutdown” HERE)
