'Barbaric slaughter': Report shows organ-harvesting company was paid $765 each for livers, glands from unborn killed * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Barbaric slaughter': Report shows organ-harvesting company was paid $765 each for livers, glands from unborn killed * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

"The fetal organ harvesting business murders innocent babies for profit. These public records obtained by the Center for Medical Progress show that the work must continue to expose these heinous acts by these abortionists, harvesters, researchers, universities, and companies. The barbaric slaughter of babies for profit must stop," charged Mat Staver, the chief of Liberty Counsel. His organization long has worked with the CMP, defending one of its original reporters, Sandra Merritt, from a multitude of cases brought by pro-abortion interests after the center revealed, through undercover videos, the abortion industry's profit motive.

AND THEN THERE ARE THE FACTS: Hakeem Jeffrries, Meet the Best U.S. Economy in Decades

The Democrat’s leader in the House of Representatives must not get out much because a recent claim of his exposes a deep ignorance of what’s happening in the real world - Mark Tapscott's Copy Desk

Here’s the claim House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries made on X in a September 26 tweet: “Republican policies have tanked the economy. And the American people know it. Time for dramatic change.”

“IN FACT, the rate of inflation, real median income growth, and the poverty rate are all better under Trump and a Republican Congress than they were under Biden and a Democrat Congress. 

Here are the specifics:

• Average annual inflation during Trump’s second term (with Republicans controlling both the House and Senate) has been 2.9%, which is 41% below the 5.0% average under Biden and 55% below the 6.5% average under Biden while Democrats controlled both the House and Senate.
• Real median household income, which is published only on an annual basis, grew from $85,210 to $87,460 during the first year of Trump’s second term, or by 2.6%, which is 445% higher than the average annual growth rate of 0.5% under Biden and markedly better than the average annual decline of 1.3% under Biden and Congressional Democrats.
• The poverty rate, which is published only on an annual basis, was 10.2% during the first year of Trump’s second term, which is the lowest level ever recorded in U.S. history, 9% below the average annual rate of 11.2% under Biden, and 13% below the average annual rate of 11.6% under Biden and Congressional Democrats...

Vichy France to the Miracle of Flydubai FZ1073 - American Thinker

An Indian pilot and a handful of heroic Israelis performed a miracle in the skies that saved 182 people, a miracle that has made aviation history. - Clarice Feldman
Yesterday was the eighty-sixth anniversary of the Vichy Statute, in which French authorities sealed the fate of the Jews in their jurisdiction...

• The statute defined a Jew: three grandparents “of the Jewish race,” or two if the spouse was Jewish. Neither conversion nor a baptismal certificate mattered since “Jew” was in the blood...
• Then the statute closed the doors to Jews: no public office, no officer’s commission, no teaching, no press, no radio, no cinema...
• The law made Jews a category for exclusion, and it made the category public...

Deportation from France to the death camps began.
On the anniversary of this infamy, France is being set on fire by rioting Islamists...

The Fall of Rome and the Future of America: Illegal aliens have little sympathy for Americans, they are the people coming to take your inheritance from you

Near its end, Romans were a lazy, self-indulgent people who paid others to do their fighting

writes Larry Alex Taunton, speaking from firsthand experience with caravans of illegal aliens from South America...

All of this was somewhere in the back of my mind, a feeling at first, as I observed the third worlders making their way by the millions to our borders. 

I saw them in the violence of Africa, the intrigues of the Middle East, and everywhere there is misery south of our border...

These are the people coming to take your inheritance from you. 

• Coming from a “might makes right” world, they know no other policy. 
• They have no vested interest in preserving American law or culture, and that is because it isn’t their heritage and they don’t understand it... … 
• Once you open the castle gates and lower the drawbridge, you no longer control the outcome. Indeed, you have surrendered it

The warning certainly does not seem to be a lesson learned in Europe...

Rather, they resent capitalists for earning more money than them, despite their apparently inferior merit. -Russ Greene@GreenPlusAnE
