Michigan football coach praises God, rips abortion as nothing 'more horrendous' - TheBlaze
Michigan football coach praises God, rips abortion as nothing 'more horrendous' - TheBlaze:
"Even now, as we all go through what we're going through with COVID-19, I see people more concerned about others. More prayerful. As I said, God has virtually stopped the world from spinning. I don't think it's coincidence — my personal feeling, living a faith-based life, this is a message or this is something that should be a time where we grow on our faith for reverence and respect for God," Harbaugh said.
Then Harbaugh tore into abortion and advocated for the sanctity of human life.

He still hasn't gotten justice?-----Zimmerman Prosecutors Deny the Undeniable As Lawsuit Proceeds - American Thinker
Zimmerman Prosecutors Deny the Undeniable As Lawsuit Proceeds - American Thinker
"George Zimmerman's lawsuit saga is unfolding though the Florida court system in the form of depositions and a powerful but little known tool called "Requests for Admissions."
...In the way of background, Zimmerman is charging that Trayvon Martin’s support team, including Martin’s parents and their attorney Benjamin Crump, knowingly substituted an imposter witness for the real “phone witness” in order to secure Zimmerman’s arrest for the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
...Among the eleven defendants in this case, arguably the most vulnerable are the prosecutors who brought it, former state attorney Angela Corey and former assistant state attorneys Bernie de la Rionda and John Guy. Corey and de la Rionda have both since retired, and Guy is now a sitting Florida judge.
In reading through their respective responses, one gets the sense that Corey and Guy are setting up lead prosecutor de la Rionda for the fall.
...The prosecutors and the others involved have to be sweating the response of Trayvon’s actual girlfriend and real phone witness, Brittany Diamond Eugene.
The recent criminal justice graduate of Florida State University has changed lawyers twice already, but she has never lied under oath.
She has no compelling reason to start now.
Maybe that’s why she did not respond to her “Requests for Admissions”?

CNN Basically Published A Press Release From The Chinese Military | The Daily Caller
"CNN published a report Monday from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) about how the country’s Navy is reportedly doing a much better job containing the novel coronavirus than its American counterparts.
The report came from China’s English PLA website, CNN noted. The network wrote that their Navy “has done a much better job controlling coronavirus than the US Navy,” according to the PLA.
Portions of CNN’s write-up are extremely similar to the PLA’s military press release.
CNN’s article closely mimicked PLA’s report. (Screenshot CNN, https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-04-13-20/h_56789fcd84e51ac3bc5f96a325cfdb72)
CNN’s article is almost the same as PLA’s report, which is cited by the network. (Screenshot China Mil, PLA, http://english.chinamil.com.cn/view/2020-04/12/content_9789946.htm)
“The report said that the Chinese carrier was carrying out this operation while four US Navy aircraft carriers — the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the USS Ronald Reagan, the USS Carl Vinson and the USS Nimitz — have reported cases of coronavirus, crimping their operations,” CNN wrote.
This was also noted in PLA’s write-up, as CNN noted in their blurb.
Many parts of CNN’s article were similar to PLA’s release. (Screenshot CNN, https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-04-13-20/h_56789fcd84e51ac3bc5f96a325cfdb72)

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith
"When I issue a 'stay at home' order, I mean it. You can't go you your vacation home, a vacation rental or for that matter, next door without the state's permission or we'll fine you $1000. You just can't be trusted to do the right thing no matter what any constitution says."
“We want them broken.
You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against—then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures.
We’re after power and we mean it.
You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it.
There’s no way to rule innocent men.
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.
Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them.
One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens?
What’s there in that for anyone?
But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of law-breakers—and then you cash in on guilt.
Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
