Infanticide After Failed Abortions: How Accurate Were Trump’s Remarks?

Infanticide After Failed Abortions: How Accurate Were Trump’s Remarks?:

• Many media outlets joined with Planned Parenthood in castigating the president’s assertions as false, but Centers for Disease Control statistics and personal testimonies tell a different story.

"WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump met with swift criticism from Planned Parenthood and media outlets like The New York Times and CNN after he paraphrased remarks from Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam regarding the killing of infants born after a failed abortion attempt.

However, some doctors, pro-life advocates and even abortion survivors have highlighted the real danger these babies face, pointing both to statistics and cases like that of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell.

During an April 27 political rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump deplored that Wisconsin’s Democratic Gov. Tony Evers planned to veto a bill similar to the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would ensure that infants born alive after an abortion attempt received medical care.

“The baby is born,” the president said. “The mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby, they wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby.”

“It’s incredible,” he continued and then made it clear that he was referencing Northam’s comments, adding “until this crazy man in Virginia said it, nobody even thought of that, right?”

Northam said in an interview about third trimester abortions, “so in this particular example, if a mother’s 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 that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

Trump’s description of a woman and her doctor discussing whether or not an infant born alive after an abortion should be allowed to live was directly vilified by Planned Parenthood as a lie.
However, Planned Parenthood lobbyist Alisa LaPolt Snow gave a similar description in a 2013 testimony before Congress describing the group’s stance when such a situation arises.

When asked, “if a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?”
She replied, “We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family and the physician.”

Judicial Watch: Bruce Ohr Email Raises Possible Ethics Concerns Tied to Russia Testimony - Judicial Watch:

Judicial Watch announced today it received 33 pages of records from the Department of Justice showing that former senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr in his January 2018 preparation to testify to the Senate and House intelligence committees wrote to a lawyer about “possible ethics concerns.” Bruce Ohr forwarded the email to his wife Nellie Ohr, who had been hired by Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign-Democratic National Committee vendor who compiled the anti-Trump Dossier.
Judicial Watch obtained the records through its August 2018 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the Justice Department after it failed to respond to a May 29, 2018, FOIA request  (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-01854)). Judicial Watch seeks:

Unrest In Venezuela Used To Roil Oil Markets. Here’s Why This Time It’s Different | The Daily Caller

Unrest In Venezuela Used To Roil Oil Markets. Here’s Why This Time It’s Different | The Daily Caller:

At the turn of the century, Venezuela’s daily oil production was around 3 million barrels per day, but output dramatically declined during the reign of former President Hugo Chavez, a former military officer who took control in 1999. Venezuela sits atop the world’s largest proven oil reserves.
“Venezuela’s oil production has collapsed in recent years,” Juan Carlos Hidalgo, a policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute who specializes in Latin America, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Years of mismanagement, corruption and underinvestment are taking a toll,” Hidalgo said. “Oil has long been a terribly distorting factor in Venezuela’s political system.”

Glenn K. Beaton: Should Notre Dame include a mosque? | AspenTimes.com
"Just days after Notre Dame was nearly incinerated, wealthy French families pledged close to a billion dollars to restore that magnificent monument to European Christianity — several times the anticipated cost of the restoration.
French secularists who’ve been at war against religion since at least Voltaire were furious.
First, the yellow-vested thugs protested that the money would be better spent on them, er, I mean on social justice.
And anyway, how dare wealthy families be wealthy, and how dare they remind us of it by parting with some of their wealth, and how dare they do so voluntarily?
Then, even worse, the establishment weighed in.
French President Emmanuel Macron declared that the historic Catholic church should be rebuilt “consistent with our modern, diverse nation.”
Architects — a profession devoted to foisting buildings that constitute a form onto a public that wishes their form would honestly follow their function — knew what Macron meant. 
They promptly suggested adding an Islamic minaret..."

Seattle elites show little sympathy for a woman raped by a homeless man. | City Journal

Seattle elites show little sympathy for a woman raped by a homeless man. | City Journal:

"A year ago, in Seattle, a man living in a city-funded homeless encampment raped a woman in the bathroom of a Volkswagen dealership in the city’s Ballard neighborhood. Christopher Teel had arrived from Texas as a transient and was evading multiple warrants, but the city-sanctioned encampment welcomed him without conducting a criminal-background check.

The story caused a sensation, with wide media coverage and public demands for increased security measures, but the crime victim remained silent and her identity was kept secret. Nearly a year later, the victim, Lindsey, contacted me. After being raped, she had approached city leaders and met with the sitting councilman for nearly an hour but was received, she says, with dismissiveness. Teel’s crime against her did not fit the preferred narrative of compassion for the homeless, so the political class downplayed it. By the time Lindsey reached out to me, she was ready to speak out.

Lindsey asked me to create a short documentary so that she could tell her story in her own words...

We edited the film together and posted it to Facebook on April 22. That evening, it was the lead story on all four local Seattle news networks and had reached more than 35,000 people on social media. The public renewed its call for warrant checks at city-sanctioned encampments. Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan condemned the assault and commended “the courage of a survivor of sexual violence to speak out.”

Then came the backlash. Progressive activists launched a counterattack against Lindsey on social media. Local journalist Erica Barnett claimed that the story drew attention because Lindsey is an “attractive blonde woman” and dismissed the victim’s “many tears” as theatrics serving a false narrative that the homeless represent a danger to the community. She demanded that the media temper its reporting and be mindful that “graphic descriptions of violent rape may be triggering for survivors.” Barnett’s message was amplified on left-wing Twitter; Councilwoman Lorena Gonzalez claimed that Lindsey’s story would create fear and cause harm to communities “that may already be triggered.”

China’s Algorithms of Repression | Reverse Engineering a Xinjiang Police Mass Surveillance App
"Since late 2016, the Chinese government has subjected the 13 million ethnic Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang to mass arbitrary detention, forced political indoctrination, restrictions on movement, and religious oppression.
Credible estimates indicate that under this heightened repression, up to one million people are being held in “political education” camps. 
The government’s “Strike Hard Campaign against Violent Terrorism” has turned Xinjiang into one of China’s major centers for using innovative technologies for social control...

Kobach: U.S. Message to Illegals Is 'Come to America, We'll Release You':

Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must stop “the madness” of the expanded Catch and Release policy that has allowed more than 161,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to be released into the interior of the United States since December.
As Breitbart News has reported, DHS has released about 8,200 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. over the past seven days through an expanded Catch and Release policy wherein federal immigration officials have had to grapple with less detention space and increased implementation of release programs for foreign nationals.

Union thieves!!-----States could help protect their most vulnerable by stopping unions from skimming money | TheHill

States could help protect their most vulnerable by stopping unions from skimming money | TheHill
"...In those states, home caregivers — many of whom are looking after loved ones in their own homes —  may be trapped into paying unions dues thanks to union-backed laws classifying them as government workers.
...These home caregivers are considered public employees simply because they receive support through the taxpayer-funded Medicaid program, and unions have organized them through dubious elections.
...Where this practice — known as dues skimming — occurs, unions siphon off dues directly from caregivers’ Medicaid payments before those funds even reach the patient they are intended to help.
This means that patients in need have fewer resources available to make their lives better and pay for much-needed care.
It’s especially concerning considering the fact that some caregivers are unaware they even belong to a union and are unlikely to see many, if any, benefits in return for the money deducted from their checks..."

Why Run, Hide or Fight Really Is a Poor Strategy for an Active Shooter | A blog written by Dr. Stephen Bryen

Why Run, Hide or Fight Really Is a Poor Strategy for an Active Shooter | A blog written by Dr. Stephen Bryen
"The FBI model, endorsed by many security professionals in the United States and abroad proposes that in the case of an Active Shooter those impacted should first run, then if that fails hide, and if, and only if that fails, fight.

The model was put clearly to the test in the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue Active Shooter incident where some congregants hid inside a closet downstairs from the main temple.  

The shooter found them and killed them all.

...As Mike Wood, a tactical expert has written: “The [FBI] film and [Run, Hide Fight]model encourage a ‘soft’ response to violence, preconditioning the victim to escape or hide as the preferred means of survival…. 

...In “real life” Active Shooter Incidents there are only a few cases of “fight” (and then only by armed guards) and the scenario to “run and hide” has come up short and failed to save lives.  

...A proper Plan needs to focus on what happens before the police arrive. 

• Organizing to Deal with Active Shooter Threats: Operational Model

To effectively deal with Active Shooter attacks requires proper organization, strategy, appropriate technology and training.  The model is not Run, Hide or Fight.  

The model is to attempt to (1) identify; (2) intercept; (3) isolate and (4) protect..."

The coming convergence of Islam and apostate Christianity – LeoHohmann.com
"With astonishing speed and amazing efficiency, the French government declared early Tuesday morning that the fire which had largely consumed the magnificent, 850-year-old Cathedral of Notre Dame was a mere “accident.”
That’s right: Before investigators had even been cleared to enter the smoldering ruins of the Western World’s most iconic Christian symbol, they had already ruled out the possibility of arson.
I am not saying that any person or group should be blamed for this fire without proof.
What I am saying, is that the French government’s absurdly quick action in determining the cause makes a mockery of the concept of an honest investigation.

Poynter dumps news blacklist amid backlash - WND

Poynter dumps news blacklist amid backlash - WND:

Among the other groups on the Poynter blacklist were Media Research Center, Pajamas Media, The Daily Wire, The Blaze, Red State, Project Veritas, Newsmax, Zero Hedge, LifeSite, Judicial Watch and Frontpage Magazine.
Nolte argued it’s outlets such as CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, ABC, CBS, PBS, NBC, MSNBC, Politico and BuzzFeed that should be held accountable for “relentlessly and deliberately misled the American people on the biggest stories of the day.”
Among the big blunders, he said, are coverage of the Trayvon Martin assault, “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot,” Russia collusion, the Brett Kavanaugh serial rapist claim and the charges of racism against the Covington High School boys.
He pointed out it was Breitbart and other news outlets on Poynter’s blacklist that got those stories right, in contrast to establishment media.

"Late Show host Stephen Colbert fantasized about “wringing the neck” of William Barr, accusing the attorney general of spreading a “bucket of lies” about the findings of Robert Mueller’s report into supposed Russian collusion.

“Happy Bill Barr Day, everybody! 
I got you the traditional gift: a bucket of lies,” Stephen Colbert said at the beginning of his show, after Barr faced questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee about the report’s findings. 
“It was incredibly frustrating to watch — filled with legalistic hair-splitting and political ass-covering. I’d say it made me want to wring his neck but I’d need five more hands.”...
