Think before sex. Maybe save yourself an abortion AND breast cancer? What a concept! New study from China helps to prove the Abortion-Breast Cancer Link

The left's WAR ON WOMEN continues as they try to stifle the truth.
Another common sense, personal responsibility concept that is totally covered up by our despicable media.
Articles: New study from China helps to prove the Abortion-Breast Cancer Link:
"In the US we are used to abortion advocates claiming that the risk of elective abortion is relatively trivial, and major medical organizations denying any link between abortion and breast cancer.
Now a powerful new study from China published last week by Yubei Huang and colleagues suggests otherwise.
The article, a meta-analysis pooling 36 studies from 14 provinces in China, showed that abortion increased the risk of breast cancer by 44% with one abortion, and 76% and 89% with two and three abortions."

"What difference does it make....." Cartel Hangs 2 girls, 25 Missing In A Month

Cartel Hangs 2 girls, 25 Missing In A Month | Conservative Infidel Conservative Infidel:
"We might not hear much of it in our news but the cartel war has not died down in any way.
In the last month 25 girls have been abducted, recently two have been found hanging from a bridge Fresnillo Zacatecas after they were taken by the Gulf Cartel Gang.
There intent was to gather information on the Los Zetas, the girls had affiliations with the Zetas.

This fight is over territory the CDG is moving in on the Los Zetas and it is all about retaliation.
It is relevant to us because of the map. 
These are border towns. 
We know they have no value for human life and how close this is to some of our towns. 
We need to make sure we inform each other of what is going on, since we can not count on anyone else to do so."

Maybe just a glitch. Or maybe treasury buys are sittin' on the sidelines-------Auction System Failure Forces US Treasury To Postpone 3, 6-Month Bill Auctions

Auction System Failure Forces US Treasury To Postpone 3, 6-Month Bill Auctions | Zero Hedge:
"While nobody is impressed by breaking equity and options markets anymore, since this has become a virtually daily ocurrence and the habituation level is high, bond markets, and especially the US government's "guaranteed" bond issuance machinery, are a different matter altogether. 
Which is why any time something out of the ordinary happens, people pay attention.
Such as what happened moments ago when the US Treasury announced that it would delay the closing of the 3 and 6 month Bill auctions, originally scheduled to close today, to tomorrow.

The reason: "an error that occurred during a test of Treasury's auction system."

This is curious, as it implies there was a test of the system running concurrent with the actual bond auction. One wonders if instead of the stated reason, there simply wasn't yet another "glitch" with TAAPS, which as we reported in September, had an error due to an order by none other than Goldman Sachs, being stuck in the quere, for reasons unknown resulting in yet another abnormal 3 and 6 month Bill auction."

US lawsuit demands 'legal personhood' for chimpanzees - Telegraph:
"A US animal rights group has filed what it said is the first lawsuit seeking to establish the "legal personhood" of chimpanzees.
The non-profit Nonhuman Rights Project asked a New York state court to declare a 26-year-old chimp named Tommy "a cognitively complex autonomous legal person with the fundamental legal right not to be imprisoned.""

Lots of opportunity for "personal gain" here. Lots........Land Banks Profit By Cutting In Front of People Wanting To Buy Property

Another public-private "partnership" hidden in the shadows.
Land Banks Profit By Cutting In Front of People Wanting To Buy Property [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"In some cases in Michigan, land banks have scooped up property for the price of back taxes owed and resold it for the benefit of the land bank.
Taxpayers lose because the practice bypasses private sector buyers who may offer more money for the properties at a public auction."

Watch out folks, the taxman (and his trusty sidekick Ms. Spend-it-all) is comin' again! -----Muskegon County-wide technology millage proposal will be on Feb. 25 ballot

Hmmm, I think I can do that one in my head:

"$43 million per year "

10 years.

So you are telling us they're gonna take almost half a billion dollars, $430,000,000, from the taxpayers of Muskegon county and give to people to spend it on really-really-important-stuff-that-they-promise-will-make-kids-smart?!!!

And safe!!!

What greedy monster could possibly be against that.

The sad reality is that even though this is (it should read $43million...I hope!) a mistake, it wouldn't surprise me if it was really $430 MILLION.

Whatever the amount, taking more millions of hard earned dollars from the families and businesses of Muskegon and giving it to unaccountable bureaucrats with the same old promises, the same old lack of public accountability, is a bad idea.

Muskegon County-wide technology millage proposal will be on Feb. 25 ballot | MLive.com:

MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI -- It's official: Muskegon County voters will be asked in February to approve a county-wide tax increase to fund school technology and security improvements.

...The 10-year millage would raise an estimated $43 million per year, which would be distributed to the 11 traditional school districts on a per-pupil basis. It's estimated that schools would receive about $164 per student.

.......The millage would cost the owners of a home with a market value of $90,000, and a taxable value of $45,000, an additional $45 in property tax per year.

Think Detroit as an island "paradise"-----Puerto Rico, with at least $70 billion in debt, confronts a rising economic misery

Puerto Rico, with at least $70 billion in debt, confronts a rising economic misery - The Washington Post:
"SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Boxes and wooden crates filled with household items bound for the U.S. mainland are stacked high in the Rosa del Monte moving company’s cavernous warehouse, evidence of the historic rush of people abandoning this beautiful island.

The economy here has been in recession for nearly eight years, crimping tax revenue and pushing the jobless rate to nearly 15 percent.
Meanwhile, the government is burdened by staggering debt, spawning comparisons to bankrupt Detroit and forcing lawmakers to severely slash pensions, cut government jobs and raise taxes in a furious effort to avert default."

"After signing my Pop, EM2 Bud Cloud (circa Pearl Harbor) up for hospice care, the consolation prize I’d given him (for agreeing it was OK to die) was a trip to “visit the Navy in San Diego.”
I emailed my friend and former Marine sergeant, Mrs. Mandy McCammon, who’s currently serving as a Navy Public Affairs Officer, at midnight on 28 May.
I asked Mandy if she had enough pull on any of the bases in San Diego to get me access for the day so I could give Bud, who served on USS Dewey (DD-349), a windshield tour..."

Nixon vs Obama

Our government at war with its citizens-Why will Obama make it illegal to pay bone-marrow donors?

But Obama wants to force blood banks to pay for blood from homosexuals with high risk lifestyles.
Why it's OK to pay bone-marrow donors - Health - AEI:
"Now comes the bad news.
On Oct. 2, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services proposed a new rule that would overturn the Ninth Circuit’s decision.
The government proposes designating a specific form of bone marrow -- circulating bone-marrow stem cells derived from blood -- as a kind of donation that, under the 1984 National Organ Transplant Act, cannot be compensated. 
If this rule goes into effect (the public comment period ends today), anyone who pays another person for donating these cells would be subject to as much as five years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
The problem with this rule is that donating bone marrow is not like donating an essential organ. 
Indeed, the Ninth Circuit based its decision on the fact that modern bone-marrow procurement, a process known as apheresis, is more akin to drawing blood. "

The 10 Worst Product Names in PC History | Digital Trends:
"NZXT Panzerbox
While many names are unfortunate or misleading, there are some that just make us scratch our heads and ask “what does that even mean?”
Such is the case with the NZXT Panzerbox, a squat computer case that was released in 2009.
Is it a box full of Panzers?
Is it supposed to be like the German tank of the same name?
Is it going to blitzkrieg the opposition?
Apparently no one could figure it out, because the the case was abandoned shortly after its release despite some impressive reviews from enthusiast websites like TechPowerUp.
Rest well, Panzerbox – whatever you were supposed to mean."

Ya think? Eligible for Medicaid? Many in Michigan face bureaucratic confusion

Eligible for Medicaid? Many in Michigan face bureaucratic confusion | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"Across Michigan, hundreds of thousands of residents who may be eligible for the state’s Medicaid expansion remain in frustrating, bureaucratic limbo — one that could push arguably affordable coverage out of their reach if they don’t get answers soon.

Those residents won’t know for sure until next year whether they’re eligible for an expanded Medicaid under the health reform law.
But for many, it could be too late to access tax credits now to make policies more affordable on the Michigan Health Insurance Marketplace, or state exchange."

What Is the Religious Freedom Restoration Act?

What Is the Religious Freedom Restoration Act? | The Volokh ConspiracyThe Volokh Conspiracy

Say that you feel a religious obligation to use a prohibited drug — hoasca (the drug at issue in Gonzales v. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União do Vegetal (2006)), peyote, marijuana, or LSD.

Or say that you’re a landlord who feels a religious obligation not to rent to unmarried couples (or same-sex couples), even though state law bars marital status discrimination or sexual orientation discrimination in housing.

Or say that you feel a religious obligation to help someone commit suicide, in violation of state law — or areligious obligation not to testify against your parent, your child, or a coreligionist, even when you have a legal duty to do so.

Should you be entitled to an exemption from the generally applicable law, because of your religious beliefs? Or should the government be free to apply the law to you just as it does to others?

Until about 1960 (more or less), the rule was what one might call the statute-by-statute exemption model — religious objectors got exemptions if and only if the statute provided for one, as, for instance, draft law historically had. Judges got into the act only insofar as they created common-law exemptions from judge-made common-law rules, and these exemptions were trumpable by statute. The clergy-penitent privilege, which is an exception from the duty to testify, was one example.

But then in Braunfeld v. Brown (1961) the Supreme Court seemed to suggest that the Free Exercise Clause might sometimes constitutionally mandate exemptions. 

Extreme homosexual lobby wants ObamaCare to mandate that you receive potentially tainted blood-----With new HIV research, FDA may let gay men donate blood

This is about mandating "approval" and requiring blood donor sites that pay for blood to accept customers with high risk lifestyles. Follow the money trail. 
And you will not be able to protect yourself or your children.
With new HIV research, FDA may let gay men donate blood - Washington Times:
"“The pressure for change is coming not because of a shortage of blood, but because of the politics of sexual orientation,” said Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council.
Such politicization “should not play any role in the decision making on a health-related issue, on protecting the health of the American people,” he said."

OMG! CNN bozette (bozo girl) has lost her mind! ---George Will Cites CNN on Global Warming Causing Asteroids

You Read It Here First: George Will Cites CNN on Global Warming Causing Asteroids | NewsBusters
"CNN anchor Deb Feyerick asked Saturday afternoon if an approaching asteroid, which will pass by Earth on February 15, “is an example of, perhaps, global warming?”
Moments earlier, before an ad break, she segued from the Northeast blizzard to a segment with Bill Nye “the science guy,” by pointing to global warming:
“Every time we see a storm like this lately, the first question to pop into a lot of people’s minds is whether or not global warming is to blame?
 I’ll talk to Bill Nye, ‘the science guy,’ about devastating storms and climate change.”
She never got to that question in the subsequent interview at about 3:25 PM EST during CNN Newsroom, instead transitioning from a snowfall update:
“Talk about something else that’s falling from the sky and that is an asteroid. 
What’s coming our way? 
Is this an effect of, perhaps, of global warming or is this just some meteoric occasion?”"
