“[W]e could do a lot more if Republicans in Congress were less interested in stacking the deck in favor of those at the top, and more interested in growing the economy for everybody,” Obama said. “They’ve now voted more than 50 times to take apart the Affordable Care Act – imagine if they voted 50 times on serious jobs bills.”

Dobson, whose organization recently won a court fight against Obama over a mandate in Obamacare that would have required his ministry to pay for abortion pills, has not been shy about challenging the president on his abortion agenda.
At one point during the fight over the imposition of the abortion mandate, he said to the president: “Come and get me. I will not yield to your wicked regulations.”
The fact that Obama is more supportive of abortion than any other chief executive in the U.S. was touted by none other than Planned Parenthood.
In a report on his 2013 keynote address to a gala by Planned Parenthood, the largest player in the nation’s abortion industry, Cecile Richards, chief of the organization, said: “President Obama has done more than any president in history for women’s health and rights. He understands that access to birth control and preventive health care are economic issues for women and their families.

Filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney and journalist Magdalena Segieda have found another friend in Hollywood willing to stand up for them as they raise funds for Gosnell the Movie – a documentary to expose radical late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell.
Sloane Brown, of E!‘s new hit reality show “The Drama Queen,” has just put out a video to express her support for the crowd funding campaign.
“You might know me as the fun, party girl, but today I want to talk to you about something serious.”
Brown ditches her party demeanor to tell us about Kermit Gosnell, an infamous late-term abortionist who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for murdering babies and putting patients in danger in his filthy abortion clinics for decades.

The personal freedoms of Americans are now in tatters following the refusal of the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal to knock down the National Defense Authorization Act, constitutional and election law attorney William Olson says.
“This is a rather remarkable shredding of the Bill of Rights,” Olson told “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.
“The National Defense Authorization Act … [has] this rather amazing authority to grant to the military the ability to pick up people … who support in some way al-Qaida or the Taliban or associated forces.”
But he explained that the language of the act is so “loose,” that anybody can be picked up for any reason.
“The president of the United States … [has] this power to detain indefinitely without charges, without trial, without an arrest warrant, without a grand jury, just to be able to hold someone who they think might be a threat of some sort,” Olson said.

“I haven’t seen it, but I will say this again — diversion, subterfuge — Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. Why aren’t we talking about something else?” Pelosi said at Thursday’s press conference responding to a question from Breitbart News. “What I know of what I’ve read in the press about the emails was what was put out there before. I don’t think there was anything new there.”

As Lovell stated, it is “my duty” to come forward to give the American people a “full forthcoming” about what happened. The discussion in the post-Benghazi investigations has focused on issues such as time, distance and assets that could have been used to rescue the Americans under attack. However, said Lovell, his voice filling with emotion,
The point is we should have tried. The military is trained to go in the direction of gunfire.
In Benghazi they did not, and the question remains why.
Pressed by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R–Calif.) about the mood in the Stuttgart command on that fateful night, Lovell admitted, “There was desperation” about how to save the individuals in Benghazi. “Why didn’t we do anything?” Lovell said with tears in his eyes, “There were a lot of deference to the desires of the State Department what they wanted us to do.”
As brought out by Rep. Jim Jordan (R–Ohio), for the first time in Lovell’s entire military career, he could not “run to the sound of the guns. “It is not what State did, but what they didn’t do, come forward to a stronger request for assistance,” said Lovell.
In Libya, State was in the lead. Lovell revealed that his primary contact at State had been Andrew Shapiro, assistant secretary for military and political affairs and a close associate of Hillary Clinton. Shapiro is now, like other Clinton associates, a consultant at Beacon Global Strategies.
Rep. John Mica (R–Fla.) asked Lovell if we might have made military moves that could at least have saved the two Navy Seals, Tyrone Woods and Glen Dougherty, who died around 5 a.m., when the attack resumed at the CIA Annex in Benghazi. Lovell said, “The military could have made a response of some sort.”
Strongly contradicting the narrative promoted by the White House (which, as we now know, originated with deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes) as to the nature of the Benghazi attack, Lovell said.
We knew very early on this was a hostile action, not demonstration gone terribly awry.
He confirmed that he dismissed very early on the idea that this was a demonstration based on a video. “It was not an escalation, it was an attack.”
It is encouraging that Americans are finally hearing first-hand accounts about what happened—and what could have been avoided—that night in Benghazi. But there is so much more yet to be uncovered. It is high time to create a congressional select committee to finally hold the Obama administration accountable.

GEORGE WILL: Global warming is socialism by the back door. The whole point of global warming is that it’s a rationalization for progressives to do what progressives want to do, which is concentrate more and more power in Washington, more and more Washington power in the executive branch, more and more executive branch power in independent czars and agencies to micromanage the lives of the American people — our shower heads, our toilets, our bathtubs, our garden hoses. Everything becomes involved in the exigencies of rescuing the planet.
Second, global warming is a religion in the sense that it’s a series of propositions that can’t be refuted. It’s very ironic that the global warming alarmists say, “We are the real defenders of science,” and then they adopt the absolute reverse of the scientific attitude, which is openness to evidence. You cannot refute what they say.

Having made the second-highest-grossing political documentary of all time, the team behind 2016: Obama’s America is now, as promised, following up with America. Sending up some fireworks of his own to rival the ones 2016 generated, producer-writer and kind-of host Dinesh D’Souza says of his new docu, “We answer the central moral challenge of America’s critics, which is that America’s greatness is based on theft, plunder and oppression.”

Silver spoke to the press at an 11 a.m. news conference from New York, stating he will “do everything in my power” to force the sale of the Clippers.
“The hateful opinions voiced by that man are those of Mr. Sterling. The views expressed by Mr. Sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. That they came from an NBA owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage,” Silver said. “I am banning Mr. Sterling for life from any association with the Clippers association or the NBA. Mr. Sterling may not attend any NBA games or practices, he may not be present at any Clippers facility, and he may not participate in any business or decisions involving the team.”
Silver said a forensic expert confirmed an audio recording taken by Sterling’s mistress, V. Stiviano, was not altered. In the clip, which was released by TMZ on Saturday, Sterling tells Stiviano, who is of African-American and Mexican descent, not to broadcast her association with “black people” at Clipper’s games. The audio clip was released shortly after she posted a picture of herself with Lakers Hall of Famer Magic Johnson on Instagram, which has since been removed.
