Cecile Richards: We Need to ‘Really Humanize’ Abortion | TheBlaze.com:

"In an interview with actress Laverne Cox for Interview Magazine, Planned Parenthood President and CEO Cecile Richards called for increased efforts to “humanize” abortion as she said ABC’s “Scandal” did.

In an episode of “Scandal” titled, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” which aired last fall, the show’s main character Olivia Pope had an abortion as the Christmas hymn “Silent Night” played in the background."

Do Radicalized Islamic Communities Exist in the US?

Do Radicalized Islamic Communities Exist in the US?:
Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a Pakistani militant group that has rebranded itself as Muslims of the Americas, says it has 22 "Islamic villages" in the U.S.

The entrance to Islamberg in New York state
"GOP presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz's call for patrolling of Muslim communities with signs of extremism is being bashed as pandering to anti-Muslim voters, with critics saying there aren't even Islamist communities in the U.S. to begin with.
They are wrong. 
They exist — and newly-published documents show that they've boasted of enforcing Islamic sharia law, even going so far as to whip children.
Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a Pakistani militant group that has rebranded itself as Muslims of the Americas, says it has 22 "Islamic villages" in the U.S. 
Its "Islamberg" headquarters in New York is the most well-known.
The Clarion Project identified one village in Texas in 2014 and the group mentioned others, including one in Alaska during a frivolous lawsuit it filed against a prominent critic.
...That sounds innocent enough until you look at the picture above. 
The caption reads, "American Muslims have established their own villages where Islamic Law has been enforced. 
Here a wrongdoer is voluntarily accepting punishment." 
The unclear picture shows a man sitting on a chair, with his back facing a group of Muslims in prayer as a man stands over him. 
The image is identical to what a former Fuqra member described to the Clarion Project as the procedure for brutal whippings..."
Read on and be afraid.
Very afraid!

Lemoore Breach, Crash Into FA-18E Jet Launches 'Many Investigations' | Military.com:
"The commander of Lemoore Naval Air Station said Thursday "many investigations" will follow a fatal overnight incident in which two people managed to breach security Wednesday night and crash into an FA-18E warplane.
Both occupants of the Jeep, a male driver and a female passenger in the Cherokee died.
The commander, Capt. Monte Ashliman, said neither person who died had any military affiliation and that there is no reason to believe that the naval air station was the target of a terrorist attack.
...Lemoore has a heavily fortified main gate with steel barriers that must be lowered before vehicles can pass into the facility.
The gate is guarded by military police armed with assault rifles.
Officials indicated that the Jeep did not enter through the gate, but deflected questions about how it reached the jet, which Ashliman was near a runway at the north end of the station, about 7 miles away from the gate..."

FCC approves Internet subsidies for the "poor"

FCC approves Internet subsidies for the poor | TheHill:
"Millions of poor Americans will be eligible for federal subsidies to help pay the cost of Internet service after new regulations were approved in a whirlwind Federal Communications Commission (FCC) meeting on Thursday.
The FCC voted to expand its 30-year-old Lifeline program, which has offered the monthly $9.25 subsidy for voice-only phone service.
The three Democratic commissioners approved the proposal over opposition from the two Republicans, who have concerns about the program's budget.
...One of the priorities was removing the burden on companies to determine whether a person is eligible for a subsidy. 
Some said that structure encouraged abuse and put companies in the uncomfortable position of holding sensitive customer information, opening them up to extra security and liability.
"The fox is no longer guarding the henhouse," Wheeler said.
Lifeline currently has about 13 million subscribers, only a fraction of the 40 million who are eligible. The vote Thursday imposed a budget of $2.25 billion per year.
The funds come from fees imposed by the phone companies. 
The FCC expects the overhaul to increase participation, and it has projected that about 7 million more people could enroll before hitting the budget ceiling..."

Communism Part II: The Scourge Spreads | Glenn Beck:

"Communism’s first leader — Vladimir Lenin — fell ill and died in 1924, setting the stage for Josef Stalin. Just as it had been under the first few years of communist policies, the Soviet Union fell into another great famine in the early ’30s. Stalin brutally kept food from starving people, ordering his soldiers to shoot and kill peasants that came near it. Adding to the five million who had succumbed to the famine of 1921, another six million people died."

Head in the sand "experts"?-----Suspicious devices found on power lines in Tyngsborough

Suspicious devices found on power lines in Tyngsborough | Boston Herald:
"TYNGSBOROUGH — The FBI is investigating the discovery of suspicious devices found hanging from power lines in Massachusetts.
Harold Shaw, special agent in charge of the Boston FBI division, says the devices were found Wednesday when the Tyngsborough Fire Department responded to a brush fire.
Shaw says crews noticed the items and alerted National Grid.
The power company then alerted law enforcement.
Shaw says multiple incendiary devices "similar in structure to pipe bombs" were found. Tyngsborough police say the devices were found on the power lines.
The FBI says the devices were determined to be "non-explosive" early Thursday morning and have been rendered safe.
Shaw says at this point there is no evidence tying the devices to terrorism and law enforcement agencies and utility companies across the country have been notified."

Another Climate Scientist Calls B.S. On 97% Consensus Claim

Another Climate Scientist Calls B.S. On 97% Consensus Claim
Another climate scientist has told the truth about the nonsensical claim of a 97% consensus of scientists believing in the man-made climate change hypothesis:
“It was the narrative from the beginning,” [Dr. Richard ]Lindzen, a climatologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), told RealClear Radio Hour host Bill Frezza Friday.
“In 1998, [NASA’s James] Hansen made some vague remarks.
Newsweek ran a cover that says all scientists agree.
Now they never really tell you what they agree on.”
“It is propaganda,” Lindzen said.
“So all scientists agree it’s probably warmer now than it was at the end of the Little Ice Age. 
Almost all Scientists agree that if you add CO2, you will have some warming. 
Maybe very little warming.”
“But it is propaganda to translate that into it is dangerous and we must reduce CO2,” he added.
The study that announced the 97% consensus, “Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature,”  by John Cook and friends, is simply bogus.
...But, the University of Queensland is hiding the fact that Cook’s study was a qualitative study which relied on opinion and produced biased results.
...The way the 97% study was conducted was Cook and his buddies looked at peer-reviewed studies and classified them as either agreeing or disagreeing with the climate change hypothesis.
Cook doesn’t mention that the 97% figure was really 97% of the hand-picked studies they reviewed. Even worse, investigative journalists at Popular Technology reported that the 97% Study falsely classifies scientists’ papers as supporting the global warming hypothesis – according to the scientists who published the papers.

Obama Commutes Sentences of 61 Felons

Obama Commutes Sentences of 61 Felons:

"What is so appalling and ironic about Obama’s clemency program is that in addition to releasing drug dealers, he is commuting the sentences of those who committed crimes with firearms.  At the same time, Obama is calling for tougher regulations on law abiding gun owners and dealers, he is releasing violent gun criminals into our communities.  Yet, Republicans cannot hold him accountable and message this point to the media because they agree with his underlying policy. "

Harvard activists claim jurisdiction over building, tear down flyers critical of group

Harvard activists claim jurisdiction over building, tear down flyers critical of group - The College Fix

The Harvard group “Reclaim Harvard Law,” which has been occupying the Law School’s Caspersen Student Center for over a month, claims it has jurisdiction over the building which they have renamed “Belinda Hall.”
After student Bill Barlow had put up flyers at Caspersen/Belinda which denounced Reclaim as anti-free speech, group members promptly took them down.

Reclaim leader AJ Clayborne, who personally had removed some of Barlow’s flyers, said that anything that goes up in Belinda Hall “must be approved by Reclaim first”:
“Belinda Hall has been reclaimed by Reclaim HLS for the purpose of creating an anti-racist environment for all and, accordingly, has a new governing body to protect that cause in a way that the institution’s existing structure, including DOS, has not. Anything that violates anti-racist values has no place in Belinda Hall.”
Barlow’s first set of signs compared the (anti-free speech) policies of Donald Trump to those of Reclaim.
But “[a]fter learning about Harvard’s 501(c)(3) obligations, which could bar signs referencing Trump, [he] created new signs void of political content.”
Clayborne and Reclaim removed those signs, too..."

FBI: Texas Hospice Boss Texted Nurses Execution Orders for Patients

FBI: Texas Hospice Boss Texted Nurses Execution Orders for Patients - The Daily Beast:
"The founder and CEO of a hospice services company instructed nurses to administer fatal overdoses to patients who had ‘been on the hospice service for too long,’ the FBI alleges.
As the FBI tells it, Brad Harris became a one-man private death panel as the owner and CEO of a Texas hospice.
“You need to make this patient go bye-bye,” Harris texted one his nurses at Novus Health Care Services, as recounted in an FBI search warrant affidavit.
The Feb. 5 affidavit, first reported by NBC 5 in Dallas, further alleges that 34-year-old Harris said of another patient, “If this f**k would just die.”
On at least four occasions, the affidavit says, Harris instructed nurses to administer overdoses to patients who had “been on the hospice service for too long.”
In one instance, Harris allegedly texted a nurse to dispatch a lingerer “by increasing the patient’s medication dosage to approximately four times the maximum allowed.”
The motive for the big hurry, the affidavit says, was money. 
Hospice care is no longer the province of nuns and other noble religious volunteers.
It is now a multibillion-dollar industry where companies compete for patients who translate into taxpayer bucks.
To control the greed and the accompanying costs, the federal government imposes an annual “aggregate” cap for hospice care of $27,820.75 per Medicaid/Medicare patient..."
