Planned Parenthood VP Can’t Say If Abortion ‘Ends’ a Life

Newsbusters  “The majority of [Planned Parenthood's abortions] are after five-and-a-half weeks, that's the point at which the fetal heartbeat can be detected,” he said. “I'm just wondering, as someone who works there, what do you think of that? What is being aborted? If you can hear the heartbeat, what is that thing that's being aborted?” 

"Laguens waited for a moment before giving a non-answer.

“ 'Well, abortion is a right in this country. Women have their own views on whether or not they want to be pregnant,” she said. “That is not a viable fetus at five-and-a-half weeks, anyone knows that. And what you would do is make your own choice.” 

"But Tucker wanted to know what Laguens’ specific stance on abortion.

“[I]f you can hear the heartbeat of this thing, this fetus, what is it?” he asked again. “Is it just a piece of tissue or is it a separate human being?” 

"Laguens argued that abortion and life mean whatever an individual wants them to mean. Except if that individual is an unborn baby, that is.

“ 'I think that's up to each individual to decide what they believe,” she said, and tried to bridge into talking about cancer screenings and birth control." . . .

Trump Proven Right: US Spies Intercept ISIS General’s SICK Plan On US Soil

Mad World News  "Written by Rebecca Diserio for Mad World News President Donald Trump is getting flack from the liberal loons for his travel ban which targets several Muslim-majority countries known for breeding terrorism. Every time Trump predicts monumental trouble ahead, he is proven right, and that's exactly what's going on now as a well-known ISIS General has been caught by US intelligence, revealing his sick plan that is underway on American soil." . . .

Democrats chomping at the bit to use "Trumpcare" going forward

Wait a minute here, if Republicans do anything - anything - to Obamacare, Democrats then declare it becomes "Trumpcare"; so by surrendering victory in Iraq and abandoning them is that now called "Obama's war"? 

President Trump should go with his gut on Obamacare  "Before Donald Trump was inaugurated the 45th president of the United States, his initial gut instinct as a high-stakes deal-maker was to let Obamacare crash and burn on its own.  In early January, then-president-elect Trump said, "They [Democrats] own it right now.  So the easiest thing would be to let it implode in 2017, and believe me: we'd get pretty much whatever we wanted."

"And just yesterday, President Trump said the Republicans "are putting themselves in a very bad position" when it comes to repealing and replacing Obamacare." . . .

Obamacare civil war! Conservatives vs. the Old Guard  . . . "The only good news out of this is that the Democrats are too busy smashing themselves on the rocks of Russian conspiracy theories to do themselves any favors.  The Republicans had better wake up before the Democrats wake up first and figure out that truthful coverage of this internecine war will do the Democrats far more political good than spouting conspiracy theories."

U. Minnesota drops homecoming ‘King and Queen’ — replaces with genderless ‘Royals’  . . . "Taking it one step further, University of Minnesota officials also point out that the winners don’t even have to be one biological male and one biological female, stating on its website: “‘Royals’ … can be any combination of any gender identity.” 
"Campus officials called the change a move “toward gender inclusivity” that promotes “a spirit of inclusion at the University of Minnesota.”. . . 

High-School Kids Slammed for Wearing USA-Themed Attire to a Basketball Game 
. . . "But that is kind of beside the point. After all, even if every student from a refugee family at that game hated every single thing about this country, that still wouldn’t change the fact that it is completely absurd to be in the United States and expect that you won’t have to see United States–themed attire. "

Update: About That Letter of Apology…  "A few days ago, Valley High School faced off against Des Moines North in an Iowa High School State Basketball Tournament game.

"Valley won that hard-fought game, at least, they won it on the scoreboard…but elsewhere, they lost it big-time.

"You see…it is something of a tradition at Valley High School, that when they play in the state tourney, their fans forego the school’s colors of black and orange, and instead wear red, white and blue as inspiration, cheering on their team to something greater than just a high school behind where the weathermen stands.

"It is Iowa, after all, in the heartland of the nation where patriotism grows like crops in the fields and pride in one’s country is as natural, and normal, as going to the movies on a Friday night.

"It was after their victory in that game, that Valley High School did something…odd…they wrote and sent a letter of apology to Des Moines North High School…not for defeating them in the game, but on behalf of their fans." . . .

Global warming: Fake news becomes no news

Daniel G. Jones  "For decades, we've heard the Chickens Little cry that the sky is warming.  Then, in 2009, a hack of climate researchers' emails at the University of East Anglia indicated that things weren't quite on the up-and-up, science-wise.  Climatologists had massaged global temperature records to bolster their claims of man-made global warming, and they had destroyed emails to skirt FOIA requests.  "Climategate," as it came to be called, suggested that many of the alarming reports about global warming had been fake news.

"It happened again about a month ago.  On February 4, Dr. John Bates, "senior scientist" at NOAA's temperature data center (until his retirement in late 2016), reported that his own organization had not quite been on the up-and-up, science-wise.  He alleged that Thomas Karl, director of the temperature data center (until his own retirement earlier last year), had "breached [NOAA's] own rules on scientific integrity when [he] published [a] sensational but flawed report" and rushed it into print in order to influence global leaders at the U.N. Climate Conference in Paris in 2015." . . .

In 1990, Michael Oppenheimer, Princeton professor and Al Gore adviser, predicted that by 1995, the greenhouse effect would be "desolating the heartlands of North America and Eurasia with horrific drought, causing crop failures and food riots."  No news in 1996 brought Oppenheimer's error to public attention.
In 2005, UNEP warned that by 2010, some 50 million "climate refugees" would be fleeing low-lying Caribbean and Pacific islands inundated by rising seas.  No news in 2011 calmed islanders' fears.
In 2007, Al Gore predicted that the North Pole would be ice-free by the summer of 2013.  No news in the fall of 2013 reminded readers that the North Pole was covered in snow that summer.

Documentation on the Crimes & Corruption of Hillary Clinton

Freedom Outpost  "If you are wondering why we will hold President Donald Trump's feet to the fire regarding an investigation and subsequent prosecution of Hillary Clinton for her crimes, look no further than the hysteria the media and corrupt politicians are engaged in over allegations regarding a questionable "dossier" put out by Trump's enemies in the Deep State, as well as claims of impropriety over Trump's advisers meeting with the Russian ambassador, even though the Clinton campaign did the same.  Let me take time to just remind you of actual documentation we have on Hillary Clinton from Wikileaks.  These are the smoking guns that the Trump administration needs to use to bring this woman and her crime family, including Bill and Chelsea, to justice.  Failure to do so only endangers the people of the united States, as well as many people throughout the world.

"Keep in mind that Hillary Clinton never actually addressed any of the emails that were leaked that exposed her corruption and crime.  Clinton, the DNC and the media all wanted to deflect from the truth of the revelations and target those who leaked them.

Hillary Clinton's team met with Russian ambassador, says Kremlin spokesman, as he warns against 'hysteria'

UK Telegraph

"Hillary Clinton’s team members met with the Russian ambassador during the election as well as Donald Trump’s, the Kremlin spokesman has alleged, as he set out to dismiss the “hysteria” surrounding Mr Trump’s links to Russia.

"The house intelligence committee will hold its first session on Russia on March 20, with the heads of the FBI, national security agency and CIA expected to appear, plus previous intelligence chiefs. 

"But Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary for Vladimir Putin, said on Sunday that America was “self-humiliating” in insisting that Russia hacked its election.

"And he defended the actions of their ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, whose meeting with Michael Flynn, Mr Trump’s choice of national security adviser, caused Mr Flynn to lose his job. He was fired after just 24 days when it became clear that he had lied about meeting the Russian, and misled the vice president." . . .

"I Had Dinner With the Afghan Ambassador. What He Said About the Differences Between Trump, Obama Is Stunning"

Independent Journal Review

. . . "During this Q and A, the ambassador was asked about the current American administration and how the people of Afghanistan viewed President Trump. His answer stunned those listening, not only for its candor but also for its rare insight into how the president approaches foreign policy. His full response to the question:

"I've personally met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago and the president has had two phone conversations with President Ghani [The president of Afghanistan]. One call was after he won the election and one after [Trump] became president. Before the calls, we were advised to keep conversations short because, we were told, Trump will not be interested in the details of the call and does not have a long attention span, so it would be pointless to have a long call.
However, we were pleasantly surprised at how much time President Trump spent asking very informed questions. The first time the presidents spoke, the questions Trump asked impressed us. “How can you win in this fight [against terrorism]?” he asked. “What do you need to become financially independent?” and “How can American business invest in Afghanistan? How can we develop businesses and mining in your country?”
Trump would listen intently after each question, often asking follow-ups. Trump's second call with our president was even longer than the first. Asking these types of questions for our country is something the Obama administration never did. The Obama administration was the most academic administration we have ever had to deal with but the Trump administration has been the most thoughtful and intelligent.
Trump continually asked “How can you win? What does Afghanistan need to win?” in reference to our fight with terrorism. Trump wants to win. Sincerely. All the Obama administration wanted to do was not lose.

Late-night legend David Letterman's ugly personality no laughing matter, former colleagues say

NY Daily News     "Late-night funnyman David Letterman was hardly a barrel of laughs off the air.

"A new biography of the now-retired talk show host portrays Letterman as more self-loathing than self-critical — and an often miserable man who inflicted his pain on his staff.

“ 'He was never truly comfortable unless he was seething with unhappiness at something,” one longtime writer told author Jason Zinoman in “Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night.”

"In fact, few of the acerbic Letterman’s close colleagues sang his praises to Zinoman.

"Letterman’s demeanor soured after July 1995, when his CBS front-running program dipped to second place behind “The Tonight Show” with former friend-turned-enemy Jay Leno." . . .
