Thousands rally in Times Square against Iran deal "An estimated 10,000 people jammed Times Square in New York City to rally against the Iran nuclear agreement. "Apparently, that wasn't enough people to catch the attention of the New York Times,
who feature a $15-an-hour minimum wage protest of a couple of dozen
people on the front page, but not thousands rallying against the Iran
deal."
. . .
"Indeed, Google News shows only a handful of news outlets who bothered to cover the rally, most of them foreign sources. CNN has nothing on the rally, either. The Washington Post front page features a story about Kerry's salesmanship, but not a word about the rally." . . .
Ann Coulter "There are few sexual perversions not celebrated by our media today, but I
gather, from decades of flood-the-zone coverage of even the most
preposterous allegations of rape, that liberals are still on record as
being against rape.
"So it's worth examining the cultures we're introducing to
America for the purpose of giving the Democrats votes and businesses
cheap labor:
-- Seventy-seven percent of reported sexual assaults in Lima,
Peru, are against child victims, according to the Latin American and
Caribbean Youth Network for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (REDLAC).
-- A U.N. Special Rapporteur concluded that the only explanation
for "the high degree of impunity for violence against women" in
Guatemala was that "at least some of the violence was committed by the
authorities."
-- CNN reports that 318 10-year-old girls gave birth in Mexico in 2011.
"In all of Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia
and New Zealand combined, there have been eight reported births to girls
aged 10 or younger. Seven of the eight involved Third World immigrants." . . .
MIT Fellow: America Founded On “White Power,” Time To “Burn The Tent Of Whiteness Down”… "Earlier this summer, Boston University Sociology Professor Saida Grundy was the center of controversy over comments
she made on social media disparaging white males. And just across the
Charles River, an academic at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
has been making similar statements on social media.
"MIT Postdoctoral Fellow Chanda Prescod-Weinstein has consistently directed denigrating Twitter and Facebook posts at America, the Founding Fathers, and white males." . . .Boldness mine, TD College professor, check; hyphenated name, check; white guilt, check. Yep, she's the real deal.
How #BlackLivesMatter may wind up sinking the Democrats . . . "As it turns out, I was completely wrong. Ross was referring not to the

Government Backed Feminist ‘Re-Education’ Workshops For Schoolboys . . . "Students from Oxford University, where they run compulsory “consent
workshops” for students, started The Good Lad workshop. The classes have
now gone into schools, where they go far beyond conventional

and to reject “toxic masculinity”." . . .
Conservative Daily News "It’s disturbing to witness the collapse of logic, especially when perpetrated by our own president. After all, if we were to believe what so many of his devotees claim prima facie, he’s among the smartest on the planet. But his nuclear deal with Iran proves to the contrary; not just by its terms, but his illogic in support of it." . . .
"Obama added that no better deal was or is possible than the one he has negotiated. Since the bargaining table was approached from a position of weakness, acquiescence, and appeasement, he’s likely correct. But if the process had been approached from a position of strength, like Reagan did with the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, then the final agreement would have been much more inhibiting to Iranian nuclear ambitions, and we, and our allies, could have come away from the negotiations feeling much safer and assured.". . .
"The President also claimed that “no one has presented any alternatives”
to his plan. All I can say is, it must be nice to live in a vacuous
tunnel where the only voice one hears is their own, and those who echo
his! If negotiations had been approached from a position of strength, we
would have four Americans on the way home, rather than continuing to
languish as political prisoners in Iranian prisons.". . .
. . . "The
Academy Awards weren't diverse enough this year for Jesse Jackson. I
always thought that the writers, cast, crew, etc. were picked for their
ability to do a good job and earn money for the company producing the
film. I wasn't aware until this year that we should have had quotas, or
counted the number of people of each race who participated in the
making of a film. Thanks for that, Jesse. I'll be sure to count all
the people in every film I see from now on to make sure that proper
percentages are represented. Maybe the races and ethnicities of the
producers, directors, cast, and crew should be listed in the credits to
ensure that we are going to see diverse films. Films are rated for
violence, language, and sexual content. Maybe we should be working on a
diversity score so you would know instantly whether or not the film you
were seeing is appropriately diverse. And now, the Emmys aren't
diverse enough, even though the two women nominated for best actress are
both black." . . . Read more
Mass Live"He was a hero right to the end, according to those who served with Marine Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, one of four Marines killed in a deadly attack in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Thursday, in what some officials are calling an ISIS-inspired attack.
"Sullivan, a Springfield native raised in East Forest Park, was running to save his wounded colleagues when he, too, was shot. He didn't survive.
"Known as "Gunny" to his fellow Marines, Sullivan "died a hero yesterday," Marine Sgt. Amanda Vincent told Sullivan's family, who gathered Friday at the Hampden home of his parents, Gerry and Betty Sullivan, to celebrate the life of the 40-year-old, two-time Purple Heart recipient and Iraq veteran.
" 'The only thing on his mind was if his Marines were OK. He had a chance to jump the fence and run, but instead he ran back to make sure (I) and the others inside and the Marines that were shot were OK," Vincent said in a message to the Sullivan family." . . .
"Sgt Holmquist returned from a 244-day deployment with the Marines last
year, according to this photo posted to Facebook of his wife and son
welcoming him home"
Weekly Standard " 'As long as we've got to fight to make sure women have access to quality, affordable health care, and as long as we've got to fight to protect a woman's right to make her own choices about her own health, I want you to know that you've also got a president who's going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way," said Obama. "Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you.' "
Planned Parenthood: We Did 327,653 Abortions in One Year . . . "From Oct. 1, 2012 to Sept. 30, 2013, Planned Parenthood performed
327,653 abortions. Over the course of those 365 days (or 8,760 hours),
that averages out to 898 abortions per day and 37 abortions per hour.
"Planned Parenthood has come under increased scrutiny recently after a video surfaced showing its senior director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, discussing the harvesting of baby body parts." . . .
UPDATE: Obama to Jon Stewart: IRS targeting of Tea Party never happened
"In an interview for the "Daily Show," President Obama told host Jon Stewart that the IRS targeting of the Tea Party didn't happen and that Congress was really to blame for passing what he called a "crummy law," the Washington Times reported Tuesday. According to Obama, the real problem with the IRS was a lack of money, not a lack of ethics.
"The Daily Caller's Jim Treacher minced
no words, and said Obama lied to Stewart's face. Worse yet, Obama
claimed the law passed by Congress was worded so poorly that IRS
employees implemented the law "poorly and stupidly."
" 'Boy, you really do have only a year left,"Stewart said. But Obama
wasn't finished playing the blame game and continued, telling Stewart
that Congress did not provide enough funds for the IRS and the
Department of Veterans Affairs to work properly." . . .
"In the NY Post, Paul Sperry of the Hoover Institution, highlights how
massive data mining by numerous branches of the Obama administration is
set to light a fire nationwide even where there is no
government-sponsored, or intentional private discrimination in order to
recreate communities and businesses, Obama collecting personal data for a secret race database:
A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s
unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The
government is prying into our most personal information at the most
local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.” . . .
"We say that evil is dark. But this metaphor is imprecise. Evil is
actually intensely bright, so painfully bright that people look away
from it. Many even deny its existence.
"Why? Because once
people acknowledge evil's existence, they know they have to confront it.
And most people prefer not to confront evil.
"That is what led to
World War II. Many in the West denied the darkness of Nazism. They
looked the other way when that evil could have been stopped and then
appeased it as it became stronger.
"We are reliving 1938. British
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain went to Munich to negotiate with
Adolf Hitler. He left believing Hitler's promises of peace in exchange
for Germany being allowed to annex large parts of Czechoslovakia. Upon
returning to England, Chamberlain announced, "Peace for our time." . . .
American Thinker"Few
moves taken by the Obama administration have been more consequential
and less explored than his disastrous foreign policy. While ObamaCare,
immigration reform, and his now famous ‘rule-by-decree’ have long been
under media’s scrutiny, a patchwork of diplomatic missteps have failed
to rise to the top of the media cycle. However, historians looking back
at America’s first black president will surely point out that his most
fateful legacy has been shifting our country’s foreign policy center of
gravity away from some of our closest allies in favor of a motley group
of questionable leaders. "In the right corner: "For
the first time in half a century, the U.S is changing its system of
alliances, especially in the Middle East -- Obama has pivoted away from
Israel and Saudi Arabia, made a mess of Libya, Egypt, and Syria, cozied
up to Iran, and struck bargains with uncouth African dictators. "Take Israel. Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. up until 2013, caused a media firestorm in June with his provocative op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal that explained in an unexpectedly frank manner how Obama “abandoned Israel”." . . .Read more

"Speaking
from the Oval Office just hours after the attack, President Obama did
not once use the word “terrorism” in relation to the assault by Mohammad
Youssef Abdulazeez on military sites in Chattanooga.
"Contrast
his statement with that of U.S. Attorney Bill Killian at his news
conference after the attack. The situation “is being treated as a terrorism investigation,” Killian said. “It is being led by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. And we will continue to investigate it as an act of terrorism until proof shows us otherwise” (emphasis added).
"Why
couldn’t Obama have said that? If the FBI is treating this as an act of
terror, why isn’t the president of the United States?" . . .
Case highlights determination to attack same-sex marriage resisters
"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito warned in dissent that the
“same-sex marriage” ruling would be used to “stamp out” those who
disagree with the progressive agenda.
"It’s begun.
"According to an attorney with Liberty Counsel,
a federal judge is expected to release a ruling as early as Aug. 11 on
whether an official in Kentucky will be forced to violate her strongly
held religious beliefs and issue licenses to same-sex couples.
"The case is against Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who has declined to
issue the licenses because it would violate her First Amendment rights
to practice her faith.
"She testified in a court hearing Monday in a lawsuit brought by the
American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of a handful of plaintiffs,
including same-sex duos.
