Watch: One Surprising Candidate Stood out in Fox News’ Focus Group in a BIG Way

/13 Comments/in , /by

gop150418102020-gop-field-2016-candidates-exlarge-169Mike Huckabee made believers out of members of a focus group watching Thursday’s Republican presidential debate.

“Huckabee surprised me,” said one woman in the 23-member group. “He was very articulate, very relatable. He made some very good points.”

Republican pollster Frank Luntz conducted the focus group, whose comments were aired Thursday night in a live post-debate “Kelly File.” When he asked the group to name the candidate who most surprised them, Huckabee’s was the first name mentioned.

“He brought a certain level of past history with him, a certain level of standing when he said ‘Reagan said trust but verify. Obama is trust but vilify,’” said one man in the group. In response to the praise for Huckabee, Luntz asked for a show of hands in support of Huckabee’s performance. Eighteen arms shot into the air.

The focus group’s embrace of Huckabee’s performance contracted with negative assessments of Donald Trump’s debate showing. Fourteen members of the group expressed a positive pre-debate opinion of Trump. Only three held that opinion afterwards.

“He sucked the wind right out of the room,” complained one member of the group. “All he did all night was point at himself and have no solutions for anything.”

“I liked him when I came in here because he wasn’t a politician,” said one man in the group. “But right now, he skirted around questions better than a lifelong politician ever had.”

Company Trying to Block Video That Could Prove Aborted Babies Were Born Alive, Then Harvested [+video]

/8 Comments/in , /by

By Steve Watson. The leader of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), the organization exposing Planned Parenthood, told CNN “New Day” this morning that a biomedical company is trying to silence CMP because they are “very scared” of footage coming out that will prove babies were born alive before being “aborted” and having tissue and organs harvested.

California based StemExpress, a company closely allied with Planned Parenthood that provides fetal tissue to researchers, has managed to convince a Superior Court judge to issue a temporary restraining order against CMP.

The order bars the undercover journalists from releasing any more footage of StemExpress officials.

David Daleiden explained why he believes StemExpress is taking such hefty action:

Investigator Says Stemxpress Bought Intact Intact Dead Babies From Planned Parenthood

By Austin Ruse. Undercover investigator David Daleiden tells CNN the reason StemExpress is trying to suppress the video he took of its CEO on May 22 is because the company doesn’t want anyone to know it bought whole intact dead babies from Planned Parenthood.

Daleiden said on CNN, “In a meeting with their top leadership, they admitted that they sometimes get fully intact fetuses shipped to their laboratory from the abortion clinics they work with, and that could be prima facie evidence of born alive infants. And so that’s why they’re trying to suppress that videotape and they’re very scared of it.”

On May 22, Daleiden and his team had lunch with StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer and other senior personnel from the company that is the main buyer of freshly killed baby parts from Planned Parenthood. As the Center for Medical Progress has released videos, four so far, it is certain that anyone who met with Daleiden, who was posing as CEO of a fictitious company called BioMax, would become worried about what they might have said. Apparently StemExpress talked about things that may shock America and any future stockholders of the as-yet privately held company. (Read more from this story HERE)

Watch: White House Doubles Down, Declares Support for Planned Parenthood Due to Its ‘High Ethical Standard’

/15 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: CNS News White House Spokesperson Josh Earnest says he suspects somebody in the Obama Administration has seen a series of videos on Planned Parenthood’s role in harvesting the organs of babies, but the administration is basing its position that the videos are edited unfairly on the comments of Planned Parenthood and “the high ethical standard they live up to.”

During a White House press briefing Thursday Earnest was asked if anyone at the White House has watched the series of videos about Planned Parenthood . . .

“Where are you getting your information that the fact that it’s fraudulent, or the fact that they’re distorted and edited unfairly?” a reporter asked.

“Based on the public comments of Planned Parenthood who has indicated that the views that are represented in the video are entirely inconsistent with that organizations policies and with the high ethical standard they live up to.” (Read more from “White House Declares Support for Planned Parenthood Due to Their ‘High Ethical Standard'” HERE)

University of Cincinnati Officer Indicted in Shooting Death of Driver [+video]

/0 Comments/in , /by

A University of Cincinnati police officer was indicted Wednesday on a murder charge in what a prosecutor called “a senseless, asinine shooting” during a minor traffic stop. It was the first time such a charge had been leveled against an officer in the city.

The Hamilton County prosecuting attorney, Joseph T. Deters, released a much-anticipated video of the shooting of Samuel DuBose, and described it as providing crucial evidence that the officer had lied about being dragged by DuBose’s car.

A grand jury, Deters announced, had indicted Officer Ray Tensing for murder, punishable by life in prison, and voluntary manslaughter.

“It was a senseless, asinine shooting,” Deters said at a news conference in Cincinnati, using stark terms to denounce the July 19 episode, Tensing’s statements about it, and the 25-year-old officer himself. “This office has probably reviewed upwards of 100 police shootings, and this is the first time we’ve thought, ‘This is without question a murder.’

“He wasn’t dealing with someone who was wanted for murder,” Deters said. “He was dealing with someone who didn’t have a front license plate. This was, in the vernacular, a pretty chicken-crap stop.” (Read more from “University of Cincinnati Officer Indicted in Shooting Death of Driver” HERE)

Obama: If I Ran for a Third Term, I’d Win [+video]

/5 Comments/in , /by

President Obama told the African Union Tuesday that he felt he had been a “pretty good” president and if he were allowed to run for a third term, he’d probably be victorious.

Obama made the remarks while criticizing leaders on the continent who wouldn’t step aside at the conclusion of their terms.

“Now, let me be honest with you,” Obama said. “I do not understand this. I am in my second term. It has been an extraordinary privilege for me to serve as the President of the United States. I cannot imagine a greater honor or a more interesting job. I love my work. But under our Constitution, I cannot run again” . . .

“I actually think I’m a pretty good president,” he said. “I think if I ran, I could win. But I can’t. So there’s a lot that I’d like to do to keep America moving, but the law is the law.” (Read more from “Obama: If I Ran for a Third Term, I’d Win” HERE)

Chattanooga Marine Unleashes BRUTAL Video on Obama, Says 9 Words That Are Going Viral

/3 Comments/in , /by

A U.S. Marine offered President Barack Obama a tough lesson in what it means to show respect for his fallen brothers-in-arms.

In the 11 minute video, the unnamed veteran, who said he is from Chattanooga, first called out the president on the manner he chose to speak following the Chattanooga shootings.

“The day of the attack, you delivered a statement. You didn’t even have the decency to stand up,” he said.

The Marine then ticked off a list of shootings or deaths that Obama did stand up for while he spoke to the nation, including the Charleston shooting, the Boston bombings, the Baltimore riots, Michael Brown’s death, and the Washington Naval Yard shooting. He even stood up when singer Whitney Houston passed.

Rather than standing out of a sign of respect for the warriors who just gave their lives in military service to their country, “You sit slumped down in a chair and ramble through some poorly scripted apology that sounds as sincere as ‘if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,’” he stated.

The Chattanooga resident then stood up and gave a short bio of each of the fallen and offered his condolences and prayers to their families. Some of the Marines had served multiple tours of duty overseas. (Read more from “Chattanooga Marine Unleashes BRUTAL Video on Obama, Says 9 Words That Are Going Viral” HERE)

Watch Ted Cruz Slam Down CODEPINK Outside White House

/14 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) tussled with and shut down a group of left wing activists from CODEPINK on Thursday during a rally outside the White House organized by activists opposed to a recently inked nuclear accord with Iran.

Cruz was meant to speak at a gathering of around 50 protestors and lawmakers who had gathered in front of the White House to express their opposition to the Iran nuclear deal, which will provide the Islamic Republic with billions of dollars in sanctions relief while keeping its core nuclear infrastructure intact.

However, as Cruz approached the podium, a delegation of CODEPINK activists who had crashed the event attempted to shut him down by screaming over a loud speaker.

The rally, which was organized by the Concerned Women for America (CWA), also was scheduled to include Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.), as well as former Reagan administration official Gary Bauer.

“We want a peace president. We want a peace candidate. We want diplomacy not war,” yelled one of the CODEPINK protestors as Cruz attempted to address the crowd. (Read more from “Cruz Shuts Down CODEPINK Outside White House” HERE)

Donald Trump Heaps Insults on RINO Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Other Foes [+video]

/7 Comments/in , /by

By Michael Scherer. A triumphant and unrepentant Donald Trump launched a barrage of personal attacks and name-calling on his campaign rivals Tuesday, most notably calling South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham an “idiot” and handing out Graham’s cell phone number to the whole world.

He dismissed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as “weak on immigration,” and mocked Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s glasses and Hillary Clinton’s hand wave.

“What a stiff, what a stiff, Lindsey Graham. By the way he has registered zero in the polls,” Trump said, at an appearance in Bluffton, S.C. “A total lightweight. In the private sector, he couldn’t get a job.”

Earlier in the day, Graham called Trump a “jackass.” In response, Trump called Graham an “idiot” and held up a card that included Graham’s personal phone number, then asked his supporters to call Graham. “I don’t know, give it a shot,” he said.

Graham’s campaign manager, Christian Ferry, said in a statement that Trump “continues to show hourly that he is ill-prepared to be commander-in-chief.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Heaps Insults on Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Other Foes” HERE)

Donald Trump Releases Phone Number of U.S. Senator

By Lauren O’Neil. Today in Donald Trump news, the 2016 presidential candidate has released a rival’s personal cellphone number to everyone with an internet connection.

Trump was speaking at a televised campaign event in South Carolina on Tuesday when he turned his attention to the state’s senior senator (and fellow Republican presidential hopeful) Lindsey Graham.

“I got called a jackass by this guy,” Trump said, referring to a comment Graham made to CNN earlier in the day in response to Trump’s assertion that Senator John McCain is “not a war hero.”

“Then I said to myself, ‘Hey, didn’t this guy call me like, four years ago?’ Yes,” Trump continued. “Lindsey Graham, I didn’t even know who he was.”

The businessman and host of the reality TV show Celebrity Apprentice explained that Graham had called him looking for a “good reference” on the Fox News program Fox & Friends, on which Trump is a regular guest, and also to solicit campaign donations. (Read more from this story HERE)

Watch: News Anchor Gets Fed up With Obama, Says What Everyone’s Thinking in EPIC Rant

/9 Comments/in , /by

Tomi Lahren, the anchor of On Point with Tomi Lahren on One America News Network (OANN), ended her program Saturday by excoriating President Obama for not affirming the attack in Chattanooga was the result of “radical Islam” and not “workplace violence.”

Lahren, originally from Rapid City, S.D., was given the opportunity to host a show on OANN at 22-years-old . . . “Four United States Marines are now dead,” Lahren said. Climate change didn’t kill them. “Lack of free community college didn’t kill them. The income gap, wage inequality — nope, not those things either. Gay marriage? Nope. Oh, white racism? Not that either. So what did?”

President Obama, if you won’t say it, I will: radical Islam. This is not workplace violence. This is not a criminal act with motives unknown. This is terrorism. The suspected shooter, Muhammad Abdulazeez, a devout Muslim. Do I care that he seemed like an all American young man? Do I care that he was good at mixed martial arts or a smart, quiet guy? Do I care that his high school friends wouldn’t classify him as ‘overly religious?’

“No, I don’t give a flying you know what about any of that,” Lahren continued. “Was he linked to ISIS or al-Qaeda or Hamas, or any of the 15-plus offshoot terrorist groups? Does it matter? I’m sorry, but radical Islam is becoming the rule, not the exception. Yesterday’s moderate is today’s terrorist. I care that this SOB killed four of our United States Marines, and I care that our commander-in-chief is more concerned with Muslim sensitivity than the honor and sacrifice made by these Marines.” (Read more from “Watch: News Anchor Gets Fed up With Obama, Says What Everyone’s Thinking in EPIC Rant” HERE)

Watch the Moment Surfer Mick Fanning Was Attacked by Shark During Competition

/1 Comment/in , /by

Professional surfer Mick Fanning survived a shark attack during an international competition in South Africa on Sunday after fighting off the animal with his fists.

The Australian, 34, was paddling his board out of the shallows when the animal’s fin emerged alongside him.

During a heart-stopping 15 seconds broadcast on live television, Fanning was knocked off his board and tussled with the unidentified species of shark, using his board as a shield as he punched the animal on the back.

Back on dry land, he said: “I was just sitting there and I felt something just get stuck in my leg rope, and I was kicking trying to get it away. I punched him in the back”.

“I instantly just jumped away. It kept coming at my board and I was kicking and screaming. I just saw fins. I was waiting for the teeth.” (Read more from “Watch the Moment Surfer Mick Fanning Was Attacked by Shark During Competition” HERE)
