Lone Dem Senator Blocks Bill Banning Infanticide for Babies Who Survive Abortions

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Monday, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), blocking a Senate bill that would require doctors to give aid to babies who survived abortions, objected to the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, and her one vote was enough to prevent the Senate from passing the bill in a unanimous consent vote, LifeSiteNews reports.

Last Thursday, Senator Ben Sasse (R-NB) requested the unanimous consent vote after Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, a pediatric neurologist, had made comments indicating he did not object to letting an infant die after its birth, indicating that a born-alive “infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired.” Sasse had already called for a unanimous consent vote to pass a resolution defending the Knights of Columbus in mid-January. That resolution was passed unanimously.

According to the rules of the Senate:

A senator may request unanimous consent on the floor to set aside a specified rule of procedure so as to expedite proceedings. If no Senator objects, the Senate permits the action, but if any one senator objects, the request is rejected. Unanimous consent requests with only immediate effects are routinely granted, but ones affecting the floor schedule, the conditions of considering a bill or other business, or the rights of other senators, are normally not offered, or a floor leader will object to it, until all senators concerned have had an opportunity to inform the leaders that they find it acceptable.

Sasse appealed to the conscience of the entire Senate, saying, “Just a few years ago, the abortion lobby was really clear in its talk about hoping abortion would be … safe, legal, and rare. Now we’re talking about keeping the baby comfortable while the doctors have a debate about infanticide. You’re either for babies, or you’re defending infanticide … please, don’t let Governor Northam define you.” (Read more from “Lone Dem Senator Blocks Bill Banning Infanticide for Babies Who Survive Abortions” HERE)

MUST WATCH: CBS Rejects Patriotic, Pro-Flag Super Bowl Ad From Vet-Owned Company

/0 Comments/in , , /by

CBS has rejected an ad from a veteran-owned athletic wear company, likely over concerns that the ad was “too political.”

The ad, which “features soldiers, first responders, and images of military graves decorated with American flags and gives credit to them for protecting the rights of those like Kaepernick to protest,” was titled “Just Stand,” and promoted clothing from Nine Line apparel, a veteran-owned athletic wear company, according to the Washington Examiner.

CBS reportedly told Nine Line that they weren’t confident the company, which pulls in a cool $25 million per year, could afford the steep, $5.25 million price tag for a 30-second spot during Sunday night’s big game, but a spokesperson for Nine Line says CBS objected to the ad’s overly political content.

The ad parodies a Nike ad from earlier in the NFL season that featured former 49ers second string quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is best known for “taking a knee” during the national anthem as a way of protesting racism. The controversial Nike ad celebrated Kaepernick for “sacrifing everything.” . . .

Nine Line’s ad opens with a similar line, narrated by a survior of the horrific attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which took the lives of four American officials and the American ambassador. The ad opens with the line, “Don’t ask if your loyalty is crazy. Ask if it’s crazy enough.”

Veteran: “I Do Not Recognize My Country. This Is Not the America I Grew up in, or Honorably Served”

/0 Comments/in , , /by

I don’t know how you feel about your future, but I am concerned about the very survival of our Blessed Nation, the U.S. Constitution, our fundamental freedoms, and our academic institutions with their Secular Socialist indoctrination of our youth, our future leaders. This subtle moral decline following the removal of God from our nation, schools and public square has been going on for decades. Now it seems to have reached a crucial point, especially following the midterm election of Democratic Socialists and Muslims to the U.S. Congress. Unfortunately, I do not recognize my country. This is not the America I grew up in, or honorably served.

Never have I seen such absolute hatred demonstrated daily toward our president as we see against President Trump by the mainstream media, Hollywood, Democrats and elitist Republicans. Its alarming to see the corrupt Republican leadership in the Senate and Congress blocking President Trump’s agenda along with the total corruption of the FBI, DOJ, CIA and IRS in their attempt to destroy President Trump and his presidency. And, never have I seen such hate and disrespect toward Constitutional Justices as we witnessed against Justice Kavanaugh and also against anyone supporting President Trump.

The Mueller investigation is an absurd illegal corrupt investigation based upon lies and false evidence. Their latest gestapo-like break-in and raids on anyone associated with President Trump is alarming. Their wiliness to rapidly prosecute anyone associated with the Trump administration and the obvious unwillingness to prosecute anyone associated with these government agencies, the Obamas or the Clintons that have habitually lied and falsified documents shows an alarming judicial double standard.

Why is this happening? And why such hate? President Trump is a threat and real present danger in exposing the lies and corruption of the Deep State, The Democratic Party, the elite establishment in the Republican Party and the out-of-control bureaucracy (now the fourth branch of government).

Why are the Senate and House Democratic Leaders so adamant to impeach President Trump? Why do the Democrats want to maintain open borders and encourage the invasion of illegal aliens coming into our nation? Why is our country so culturally divided? Why is there such hate throughout our nation?

Please consider reading DEATH OF A NATION, by Dinesh D’Souza and watch the DVD if you wonder why. I have read several of his books and other excellent books on Trump and the Deep State. I found this book to be historically informative and extremely alarming on how “We the People” have been lied to and deceived by our elected politicians, especially the Progressive Secular Socialist Democrats.

The main purpose of government is national security. Our government has failed to protect its citizens from this invasion of drugs, crime and human trafficking. President Trump is actually changing this, and they hate him. Let us persist in supporting President Trump. Let’s make “America Great Again” – but first we must make “God Great Again”. It is only through prayer and God’s Divine guidance can our country be saved. If God is for us, who can be against us? In the end God wins. What side of history do we want to be on?

The 2020 election (local, state and national) is crucial in restoring our Judeo-Christian Heritage, American Exceptionalism and a turning point in saving our nation from the Progressive Secular Socialist Democratic Machine!

Largest U.S. Christian University Blocks Ben Shapiro From Speaking on Campus. Then Officials Release Statement.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Officials at Grand Canyon University, the largest Christian university in the United States, last week blocked conservative commentator Ben Shapiro from speaking on campus as part of an upcoming Young Americans Foundation event.

Now, the university is facing criticism after officials released a lengthy statement explaining the decision to bar Shapiro. . .

In a scathing statement Friday, YAF spokesman Spencer Brown revealed that GCU officials told students the university would not “provide a venue” for Shapiro’s upcoming speech.

School administrators reportedly also said that Shapiro’s speech style is divisive and “cut throat.” Additionally, YAF reported that GCU president Brian Mueller personally approved denying Shapiro a venue, believing the university would dodge negative media attention.

Brown said in a statement: “By caving to an unseen mob and ignoring the popularity of Shapiro among its student body, Grand Canyon University just played itself and deserves whatever negative response this brings. GCU has abandoned the sentiment of its own proclaimed values, deluded itself into acting like the liberal campuses it claims to differ from, and blindly accepted the Left’s ludicrous argument that Shapiro’s presence somehow damages students, campuses, or debate.” (Read more from “Largest U.S. Christian University Blocks Ben Shapiro From Speaking on Campus.

U.S. City Is Dealing With a Deadly, Flea-Borne Typhus Outbreak

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The city of Los Angeles is suffering from an outbreak of a “middle ages” and “pioneer days” disease —typhus — typically found in homeless populations.

The outbreak began in October, according to CNN, with 57 cases of the flea- and flea feces-borne disease in downtown Los Angeles, not typically a hotbed of rare diseases. That was up from around 6 cases over the summer, all found in people “experiencing homelessness.” . . .

A local NBC affiliate says city officials assumed that the disease would remain largely within the homeless population, but lately, cases of typhus have been cropping up among an unexpected group of people: city officials. . .

Greenwood speculates that she got typhus fever from fleas riding on the rats that occasionally infest Los Angeles city buildings. Those fleas get their typhus from piles of garbage surrounding homeless encampments throughout the city. . .

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who recently announced he would not pursue a presidential campaign in 2020, has been trying to control the typhus epidemic largely by allocating funds for trash cleanup, particularly in areas where homeless people gather to live for extended periods of time, including the city’s famous Skid Row.

These Are the Celebrities Who Refused to Perform During the Super Bowl Halftime Show

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Multiple artists were asked to perform during the coveted Super Bowl halftime show. There were quite a few who decided to turn down the gig. Their reason? They supposed Collin Kaepernick kneeling to “bring awareness” to supposed instances of police brutality and racial inequality. His actions started a political firestorm involving the National Football League. Other players began following suit and conservative football lovers who disagreed with the supposed policy brutality boycotted tuning into games.

Ultimately, Maroon 5, Big Boi of Outkast and rapper Travis Scott agreed to perform during the show. In order for Scott to agree to perform, the NFL had to agree to make a $500,000 donation to The Dream Corps, a progressive organization founded by CNN’s Van Jones. . .

[Cardi B] “My husband [Rapper Offset], he loves football. His kids play football. It’s really hard for him. … He really wants to go to the Super Bowl, but he can’t go to the Super Bowl, because he’s got to stand for something,” the rapper told the Associated Press. “You have to sacrifice that. I got to sacrifice a lot of money to perform. But there’s a man who sacrificed his job for us, so we got to stand behind him.” . . .

The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta,” the source explained. “They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn’t agree with the NFL’s stance.” . . .

Another singer who decided not to participate was Pink. According to Entertainment Tonight, Pink decided to move on because the the negotiations were taking too long. (Read more from “These Are the Celebrities Who Refused to Perform During the Super Bowl Halftime Show” HERE)

KKK, Blackface Photo Emerges From Virginia Governor’s Yearbook – Dems Call For Resignation

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. A photo emerged on Friday that appears to show Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam appearing in a photograph that shows someone dressed up in a KKK hood and in blackface.

“On Wednesday, in a shocking revelation about the nature of the pro-abortion Democratic Party, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, a supposed moderate, endorsed the notion that a woman should be able to let an infant, born alive, die on the table if she decided she did not want the child,” The Daily Wire reported.

Northam made the remarks during an interview with WTOP’s “Ask The Governor.” Northam stated:

This is why decisions such as this should be made by providers, physicians, and the mothers and fathers that are involved. When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of the mother, with the consent of physicians, more than one physician by the way, and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus which is non-viable. So in this particular example, if the mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if this is what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physician and the mother.

Leading Democrats call for Gov. Northam to resign over racist yearbook photo

By The Blaze. Top Democratic leaders are calling for the governor of Virginia to resign after a yearbook photo resurfaced showing him in a racist photo.

Among those calling for his resignation were presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who tweeted, “Leaders are called to a higher standard, and the stain of racism should have no place in the halls of government.”

Northam released a statement on Friday admitting that the photo was authentic, but he did not disclose whether he was the man dressed as a KKK member or the man wearing blackface.

“Earlier today, a website published a photograph of me from my 1984 medical school yearbook in a costume that is clearly racist and offensive,” he said in the statement.

“I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now,” he added. (Read more from “Leading Democrats call for Gov. Northam to resign over racist yearbook photo” HERE)

Something Huge Was Just Revealed About Donald Jr.’s Trump Tower Meeting

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. Donald Trump Jr. made several private phone calls in advance of the infamous Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer, which many Democrats have long assumed were to his father, then-candidate Donald Trump.

CNN reported Thursday that the calls were not to Trump, but rather to two unnamed business associates, according to “three sources with knowledge of the matter.”

The calls, which were between Trump Jr. and two blocked numbers that don’t show up in phone records, had previously been cited as potential evidence that President Trump knew that Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort were meeting with a Russian lawyer in an attempt to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. . .

President Trump has long maintained that he did not know about the Trump Tower meeting in advance, and he told special counsel Robert Mueller as much when he submitted his written answers to Mueller’s inquiries.

The meeting in question was between Trump Jr., Kushner, and Manafort and a Russian lawyer named Natalia Veselnitskaya. It was faciliated by Emin Agalarov, a Russian pop star who is the son of a Russian oligarch. (Read more from “Something Huge Was Just Revealed About Donald Jr.’s Trump Tower Meeting” HERE)

Reports: Trump Jr.’s mysterious phone calls after Trump Tower meeting weren’t with the president

By USA Today. The mysterious phone calls that Donald Trump Jr. made before and after his meeting with a Russian lawyer in Trump Tower were not to his father, President Donald Trump, but rather to several business associates, according to media reports.

The reports, from CNN and ABC News, which cited unnamed sources, say records given to the Senate Intelligence Committee revealed the identities of who Trump Jr. spoke with both in the hours after and in the days before the notorious 2016 meeting with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, who the president’s eldest son thought had compromising information on rival Hillary Clinton.

The reports cast doubt on a theory long held by Democrats that the blocked phone calls were to his father, informing him of the controversial meeting. The Democrats theory seemed to hold weight for months due to contradicting explanations given by Trump Jr. about the meeting. . .

Trump Jr.’s phone calls became a focus due to the mysteriously blocked numbers. When he appeared before Congress, Trump Jr. said he did not remember who he spoke with in three calls with blocked numbers but said that he didn’t speak to his father.

Robber Points Gun at Family Dollar Employees — His Last Mistake Was Ignoring an Armed Customer Behind Him

/in , , /by

A suspected robber is dead after allegedly trying to rob a Family Dollar in Dekalb County, Georgia, and ignoring the customer who was armed behind him during the altercation.

The attempted robbery occurred on Tuesday morning when a man walked into the discount store and pointed a gun at two employees.

While one employee was handing over money to the robber, a customer walked from the back of the store to the front, and witnessed the robber pointing his gun at the employee’s head.

He then pulled his own gun out and shot the robber several times. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. . .

Police say the customer who killed the would-be robber will not be charged with any crime. They are hailing him as a “good Samaritan” for stopping the robbery and possibly saving the lives of many people.

Roger Stone Faces a Gag Order. He Has a Plan to Resist It.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Politico. . .The federal judge in Stone’s case, Amy Berman Jackson, has already hushed a coterie of others caught in special counsel Robert Mueller’s dragnet, including Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and their attorneys. They were quieted after one of the lawyers told reporters that Mueller’s case was “ridiculous.” . . .

If Stone is gagged, his contingency plan is already in place. He’s got a well-known First Amendment attorney on his legal team who represented the rap group 2 Live Crew against obscenity charges in the early 1990s. And Stone has designated a pair of close friends as spokesmen in the event he and his lawyers are told to stop talking. . .

Since his arrest last Friday, Stone has been on a media blitz. He gave his first interview to the conspiracy theory website InfoWars and then addressed reporters outside the federal courthouse in Fort Lauderdale. He’s discussed his legal defense plans during a series of interviews with the major television and cable networks, as well as in impromptu press conferences outside his South Florida home. Anyone on Stone’s email list got a message Monday with the subject line “Let’s talk about my arrest” and a plea for “emergency” contributions to help pay his mounting legal bills. . .

During Stone’s arraignment hearing on Tuesday, magistrate judge Deborah Robinson opened with a warning that he’d be wise to not speak about the charges in the indictment. “Any statements you make may be used against you,” she said.

Roger Stone warns Trump’s presidency is in peril

By Fox 13. . .The political trickster said Tuesday, a day he pleaded not guilty to seven charges laid by special counsel Robert Mueller, that Trump’s presidency is in mortal peril because the Russia investigation amounts to a “speeding bullet heading for his head.”

Stone’s comment, to “Breitbart News Daily” on Sirius XM radio, added to soaring anticipation, fueled by a remark by acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker on Monday, that the probe could soon end with Mueller’s final report.

And it raised the question of whether Trump’s repeated claim of “no collusion” fired off in scores of tweets and comments to the press, is a sufficiently broad defense to the existential threat that Stone perceives from Mueller’s work.
