Pro-choice students stunned to learn they're pro-life - WND

Pro-choice students stunned to learn they're pro-life - WND:

Christian evangelist Ray Comfort, whose Living Waters ministry projects include “God Doesn’t Believe in Atheists,” “Nothing Created Everything” and “Einstein, God and the Bible,” is releasing a new film in which pro-choice students find they’re not as pro-choice as they thought.
In fact, many become pro-life by the time he’s done explaining to them “7 Reasons,” as his new film is titled.
It’s available now for download for a charge and is scheduled to be released on the Living Waters YouTube Channel on Mother’s Day weekend.
Comfort asks students whether they are pro-choice, and most say yes.
But within a few minutes, they’re reversing course.
He asks one student: “Did you change your mind?”
“Actually, you know what? Yeah, I have,” the student says.

The Hate Crimes of Jussie Smollett | RealClearPolitics

The Hate Crimes of Jussie Smollett | RealClearPolitics
Let’s be clear: A hate crime did take place in Chicago. It’s an ongoing crime, too.
Yes, a hoax occurred -- more like two or three hoaxes -- but deliberately stoked racial animosity can’t be washed away with the forfeiture of a $10,000 bond, a few hours of dubious “community service,” or the sealing of public records in a criminal case.
If history has taught us anything, it’s that hate tends to fester, especially when aided by fraud and abetted by government.
...Although it’s a story line that only the conservative media seem to be following, it turns out that racial hoaxes are disturbingly commonplace in this country.
Worse, the mainstream media often stokes them, or in some cases, takes the lead in pushing them. Their very frequency suggests a couple of disquieting deductions:
First, in our victimhood culture the demand for such outrages may now exceed the supply. 
Second, it turned out that Jussie Smollett may have understood the political zeitgeist far better than those outraged by his scam.
...Shortly after Donald Trump’s election as president, the venerable Washington Post adopted as its mantra “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”
Some Trump supporters chafed at this slogan, seeing it as a subtle dig at their guy.
Maybe it is, but the newspaper’s sentiment is undeniably true.
In Chicago, democracy also dies in the daylight. 
In the middle of the morning, in open court."

For Michigan Newspapers, Disaster Always Stalks Public Schools – Michigan Capitol Confidential

For Michigan Newspapers, Disaster Always Stalks Public Schools – Michigan Capitol Confidential

• Sky-is-falling headlines have been common since the 1950s

"The state of Michigan is driving schools into bankruptcy, and even more public school districts will soon be broke."

Those statement may resemble some recent Michigan newspaper headlines, like those attached to a report that for 25 years Michigan schools have been dead last nationwide in state revenue growth. 
But in this instance, the headline appeared above an opinion piece in a November 2009 edition of the Lansing State Journal.

The author was Donald Sovey, then the associate superintendent for business at Charlotte Public Schools. 
His op-ed carried the headline, “State is driving schools to bankruptcy.”

Sovey predicted that 86 districts would be bankrupt by June 30, 2010. 
[Editor’s note: There were 43 districts in deficit in 2010; the Michigan Department of Education projects that when the final 2018 figures are in, just 10 districts will have spent more than they took in, the lowest number in deficit shown in online department records that date back to 1989.]

...Detroit Free Press. The headline was simply, “Bankrupt Schools,” followed by this first paragraph:

“The alarm cry has gone up from many of the state’s school districts, particularly those of the smaller cities, towns and rural communities, that unless drastic steps are quickly taken to bail them out of serious financial difficulties, many schools face the prospect of early closing.”

The writer added: “This situation, unfortunately, is not just the old ‘wolf’ cry which often presages demands for larger appropriations.”

That article was from Dec. 7, 1952.

In the nearly 70 years since then, public schools and their allies have rarely stopped crying ‘wolf,’ which can be seen in these Michigan news and opinion articles:

Micheal Smith--Progressivism has stripped all meaning from America's founding values and has effectively rendered worthless the status of being an American citizen.-Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today-Michael Smith

"A conservative is someone who stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it."

~ William F. Buckley, National Review (19 November 1955).

I'm in a pretty ugly and cynical mood these days, especially where politics is concerned. 

It seems to me we live in an age where we are about to begin paying for mistakes of the past...and I mean really paying for them.

Progressivism has stripped all meaning from America's founding values and has effectively rendered worthless the status of being an American citizen. 

There was a time when we paid taxes for the privilege of being a citizen and those taxes went toward protecting the value of being a citizen - today, we are simply extorted to pay for things people want who do not value being American. 
In a way, we pay ransom to preserve fractions of the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Every single aspect of the Bill of Rights is compromised, nullified or is currently under attack. 
From the First Amendment to the Tenth, our own government is in open violation of every single one.

We have decided, in our infinite wisdom, to expose all to moral hazard by extending the rights of citizens to non-citizens and equating people who pay no taxes or own no property to people who do, eliminating the value of actually being an American citizen. 
Like the old saying states, when everyone is special, no one is.

...The fatal flaw in this Church of Progressivism is that no moral superiority can be built on a foundation of amoral or immoral acts.

As we are witnessing at our southern border, nothing short of direct confrontation with the progressive agenda is going to work. 
It's way past time to be standing athwart and yelling "Stop!"

God help us all."

Socialism Is Trending in America—Here’s What the Younger Generation Needs to Know | The Heritage Foundation

Socialism Is Trending in America—Here’s What the Younger Generation Needs to Know | The Heritage Foundation:

So why is socialism gaining popularity?
Part of the reason lies in our schools. Socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried – from the former Soviet Union and to Mao’s China – and killed tens of millions through violence and starvation in the process.
Yet students get little of that history today. Instead, they are often taught the evils of capitalism – that it creates inequality, rewards the privileged few at the expense of the many, and is an engine of oppression and exploitation of the masses. This perverse indoctrination is echoed and amplified in the media.
In truth, capitalism has done more to lift the world out of poverty than any other economic system ever devised.

Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived | TheHill
"...But Ukrainian officials tell me there was one crucial piece of information that Biden must have known but didn’t mention to his audience: 
The prosecutor he got fired was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings that employed Biden’s younger son, Hunter, as a board member.

U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden’s American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia.
The general prosecutor’s official file for the Burisma probe — shared with me by senior Ukrainian officials — shows prosecutors identified Hunter Biden, business partner Devon Archer and their firm, Rosemont Seneca, as potential recipients of money.
Shokin told me in written answers to questions that, before he was fired as general prosecutor, he had made “specific plans” for the investigation that “included interrogations and other crime-investigation procedures into all members of the executive board, including Hunter Biden.”..."

Will McCabe ever be prosecuted? Congress wants update - WND:

“The Justice Department Office of Inspector General referred McCabe’s lack of candor to the United States attorney for the District of Columbia almost a year ago,” said the letter from Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Mark Meadows, R-N.C.
“McCabe’s pattern of lies to FBI and OIG officials was particularly troublesome because they were intended to cover up media leaks that would benefit McCabe personally and professionally.

Britain's Version Of 'Medicare For All' Is Collapsing
"Nearly a quarter of a million British patients have been waiting more than six months to receive planned medical treatment from the National Health Service, according to a recent report from the Royal College of Surgeons. 
More than 36,000 have been in treatment queues for nine months or more.
Long waits for care are endemic to government-run, single-payer systems like the NHS. 
Yet some U.S. lawmakers want to import that model from across the pond. 
That would be a massive blunder..."
