Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill requiring UC and CSU schools provide students with free chemical abortions.

Via Weasel Zippers, wording its headline this way: California Moonbat Governor Signs Law Mandating Colleges Offer ‘Free’ Abortions…  The main article is below.

Campus Reform  "California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has signed a bill requiring all University of California and California State University campuses to offer chemical abortion to students for free. 

"Senate Bill 24 – the “College Student Right to Access Act” – passed the California Legislature in September, giving Newsom about one month to either sign or veto the bill. Prior to Friday, when Newsom signed the bill into law, every indicator was that he would sign it. According to the most recent enrollment data, 481,210 students are enrolled at CSU and 280,380 students are enrolled on UC campuses- a total of 761,590 students. Of those, 272,779 females were enrolled at CSU schools while 147,131 female students were enrolled at UC schools- a total of 419,910 students who would be covered by the new law.

"California Campus Correspondent Fiona Moriarty-McLaughlin asked students at UC-Santa Barbara their thoughts.:

Awkward! Chelsea Clinton emphatically states a person with a beard and a penis can 'absolutely' identify as a woman, while mom Hillary shuffles and looks conflicted . . .

Democrats.

UK Daily Mail  "It may appear Hillary and Chelsea Clinton always see eye-to-eye, but in a recent interview one topic cracked the facade of the like-minded mother-daughter power duo.  

"The one issue Hillary and Chelsea don't appear to agree on entirely is transgender self-identification. 

"In an interview with The Sunday Times, journalist Decca Aitkenhead asked the Clintons if someone with a beard and a penis can ever be a woman, to which Chelsea replied emphatically, 'Yes.'

"However, as Aitkenhead describes it, Hillary looked 'uneasy', and blamed generational gaps for being less accepting. 

" 'Errr. I'm just learning about this,' Hillary responded. 'It's a very big generational discussion, because this is not something I grew up with or ever saw. It's going to take a lot more time and effort to understand what it means to be defining yourself differently.' " . . .

"Awww, Mom! You are so totally, like, tubular!"

Brutal wipeout for Democrats in Louisiana and the press trying to keep it quiet

Image by The Earl of Taint

Monica Showalter  "The last of the Louisiana state election numbers are in and it's not pretty for the Democrats.

"Not only does its moderate Democratic governor, John Bel Edwards, face a runoff as noted here, the state Senate has taken a supermajority. And a whole bunch of key state offices went squarely to Republicans. Funny how the press isn't covering this much.

"But Guy Benson at Townhall is, and he found a Democratic Party "decimated":

. . . 

"Obviously, the GOP is energized and it's translating to not just money raised and large crowds at rallies, both of which have been dismissed as unimportant by political analysts, but now actual votes. President Trump has helped significantly, holding a big popular rally in the state which may have either been his riding a wave or else turning things pivotally. Trump enthusiasm has got to be behind much of this and Trump isn't stupid.

"Democrats are being wiped out both by their impeachment obsesssion as well as by their way-out-of-the-mainstream leftwinger, and it's being done by the people themselves sneaking up on them. As of now, they're all deluding themselves that nothing is happening. "

Lets not help Democrats learn too quickly; they may learn to fake sanity in time for 2020.

Townhall

"Of course, these allegations will be categorically denied, because if there’s anything Hillary is better at than losing the presidential election, it’s lying."

Hillary Clinton Implicated in Upcoming Ronan Farrow Book  . . . "Relying on over 200 sources (which were diligently fact checked), Farrow names those who impeded his investigation in any way. Many of those he points at were tied to NBC News– people who were threatened, coerced, and/or bribed by Weinstein to prevent publication and keep private things private. He was often successful.
"One name, however, might not be an obvious Connection– until, that is, you consider how corrupt she is and how many sexual abusers she surrounds herself with. I’m talking about Hillary Clinton, if that’s not already clear. According to the Hollywood Reporter:
. . . "While he does make a very valid point about Weinstein, it seems like it might be too late to prevent Clinton from feeling the backlash– and the book hasn’t even been published yet. Rose McGowan, an actress who was at the head of the #metoo movement, tweeted her condemnation of Clinton, and I doubt she’ll be the last."

I knew that Hillary Clinton’s people, were protecting the Monster. I can’t believe I used to support her. I guess predators are her style. https://t.co/rzWUoV1Nf4 via @thr

. . . "Hillary’s crimes and general grossness are catching up with her, and she’s running out of places to run. The Hollywood elite may well find themselves in a position where they either continue to chase whatever benefits a good relationship with the Clintons give them, or withdraw their support in the hopes of avoiding the career-ending cancellation that seems to be looming over the horizon for them." . . .

Farrow

Hillary Clinton’s Publicist Told Ronan Farrow His Weinstein Exposé Was a ‘Concern’ for Clinton: REPORT  "In his new book on the Harvey Weinstein sexual-assault scandal, journalist Ronan Farrow has revealed that Hillary Clinton’s publicist, Nick Merrill, contacted him and attempted to pressure him into dropping the Weinstein story, at what he apparently alleges was Weinstein’s behest. 
"Farrow writes in the book that he received a call from Merrill, who told him that the Weinstein story he was working on was “a concern for” Clinton, according to the Hollywood Reporter. He goes on to reveal that Weinstein proposed making a documentary series on Clinton to NBC, Farrow’s employer." . . .

Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators

"In a dramatic account of violence and espionage, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost.
"In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.
All the while, Farrow and his producer faced a degree of resistance they could not explain -- until now. And a trail of clues revealed corruption and cover-ups from Hollywood to Washington and beyond.
"This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability, and silence victims of abuse. And it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement.
"Both a spy thriller and a meticulous work of investigative journalism, Catch and Kill breaks devastating new stories about the rampant abuse of power and sheds far-reaching light on investigations that shook our culture."

Ronan Farrow says NBC journalists "anguished" by execs' "lies" about sex assault allegations  . . . "Appearing on "CBS This Morning" Monday, Farrow defended his work. "This book is an extraordinarily meticulously fact-checked work of investigative journalism," he said. "We're very confident in it.' " . . .

Project Veritas Video: CNN’s Jeff Zucker Directing Employees To Push Impeachment; UK Daily Mail reports...

PART 1: CNN Insider Blows Whistle on Network President Jeff Zucker’s Personal Vendetta Against POTUS

CNN Media Coordinator Christian Sierra admits: “We’re tough on the Republicans ... More than so than the Democrats. Our Democratic interviews are like softballs, compared to the Republicans”

'Everyone hates writing about Trump every day': CNN satellite technician turned whistleblower claims network is 'obsessed' with Trump and Jeff Zucker has 'personal vendetta' against him as he shares secret tapes of staffers complaining about it

"A satellite uplink technician who has worked at CNN for two years has turned whistleblower to accuse the network of operating on a deeply-embedded biased against President Donald Trump which is led by its Jeff Zucker.

Zucker

"Cary Poarch gave an interview to Project Veritas along with secretly recorded video tapes from inside CNN's Washington bureau which he says proves his claim that the company, and Zucker, are 'obsessed' with bringing the president down. "Among the 'evidence' that he presented are recordings of Zucker's 9am rundown calls with senior producers and editors where he is heard ordering them to focus on impeachment stories above other political ones.  "Poarch also recorded multiple media coordinators who described frustration at having to follow Zucker's commands. " "One said that people at the network 'hated' having to almost exclusively write about Trump but that they had to follow the boss's orders.   "The secretly recorded tapes are all of media coordinators or floor planners. None of the network's journalists are filmed. "CNN has not yet responded to his claims.   " 'I hate how everything at the company is now all Trump all the time. Everyone at the company complains about it. They hate covering Trump every day,' Christian Sierra, a media coordinator at the company, is filmed saying.  "Nick Neville, another 'media coordinator', is filmed saying: 'To a certain extent, CNN created Trump's celebrity. They created this whole, like, not his celebrity but created his candidacy, made him legitimate because they felt like they needed to show everything he did from the beginning. " 'Jeff Zucker can't really complain, he kind of put this in action.'  "When asked why, he said: 'Ratings!' " . . .

The media coordinators also claimed to know which of the network's star hosts 'hated' the president. They said Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon and Jake Tapper all disliked him. Nick Neville, the aforementioned media coordinator who calls himself a 'news associate' online, said in one recording that Lemon's undeclared bias affected his broadcast.
'Hannity is like extremely conservative, he lets you know. However, Don Lemon comes on, he makes you think he's objective news... I'm not trying to bash CNN... but he's blatantly opinionated.

Oh, and don't forget Lindsey Graham: 

. . . In another, he warned journalists not to be 'friendly' with Senator Lindsey Graham.
'On the Lindsay Graham front, I know there are a lot of people at CNN who are friendly with Lindsay Graham. It's time to knock that off and it's time to call him out.   . . .

School Principal Turns Down Free Lunches From Chick-fil-A

Todd Starnes  "The Gay Mafia strikes again!

The principal of Lusher High School in Louisiana turned down Chick-fil-A’s offer to provide a free lunch to the school’s teachers.

“ 'Out of respect to our LGBTQ staff, we have chosen to not serve Chick-Fil-A at an employee lunch,” principal Steven Corbett said in a statement. “The #1 rule at Lusher is to ‘Be Kind’ and we live this motto every day.

"Chick-fil-A, a family-owned company based in Atlanta, has come under fierce attack in recent years by a small, but militant group of LGBT activists and their allies. I document this anti-Christian hatred in my new book, “Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation.”

“ 'Chick-Fil-A has been politically outspoken about its views, and we feel it is not part of Lusher’s culture of kindness and community,” the high school principal said.

"The Louisiana College Football Foundation had wanted to provide the teachers at the school a free lunch as a way of saying thank-you to the New Orleans community for hosting the College Football Championship.

"The lunches were provided by the Louisiana College Football Foundation to support teachers.

“ 'Anytime an organization is anti-LGBTQ, and has efforts to infringe upon their rights, we thought it was important to support and stand up for their community at this time,” the principal told television station WDSU.

"There’s just one problem with Principal Corbett’s argument: it’s wrong.

"Chick-fil-A does not discriminate against the LGBTQ community. They serve people no matter their sexual preference.

"Principal Corbett’s allegations were made out of either ignorance or malicious intent. Either way, this man has just disqualified himself from leading a public school. Click here to send a comment to the principal."

Rand: If You're Going to Condemn Trump on Ukraine, You Need to Condemn Three Dems Too

Townhall  "Sens. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) reportedly sent a threatening letter to Ukraine last year demanding they help in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into potential Russian collusion. They were specifically interested in former campaign manager Paul Manafort's role.

"According to Sen. Rand Paul, those three threatened to pair back military aid for Ukraine if the country didn't honor their request.

"So, “If you’re going to condemn Trump, you need to condemn the Democrat senators,” Paul told “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd on Sunday." . . .

Rand Paul: “Four senators, Democrats, wrote a letter to the Ukrainian government and said, ‘If you don't keep investigating Trump we may reconsider our bipartisan support for your aid ... Someone needs to actually, in an objective way, evaluate [the] letter ... That's a threat’”/>

Schiff: We Don't Need a Quid Pro Quo to Impeach Trump

Townhall  "House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said on Sunday that there does not need to be a quid pro quo to impeach President Trump.

“ 'We’re keeping our focus right now on the president’s coercion of an ally, that is Ukraine, to create this sham investigations into his political opponent,” he told CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “We have discovered in very short order not only the contents of that call but also the preparatory work that went into that call. The effort to condition something the Ukrainian president deeply sought, that is, a meeting with the president, to establish this new president to the Ukraine had a powerful patron in the United States that was vital importance to Ukraine, that was being conditioned as digging up dirt on the Bidens.” . . .

Environmentalists have a new target: Charmin toilet paper

CBS News  "Consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble faces pressure from environmentalists to clean up its act. 
"More than 150 groups are pushing the maker of Charmin toiler paper and Bounty paper towels to use recycled materials in its products. Currently, neither of those products uses recycled paper, and about one-third of it is sourced from Canada's boreal forest — a large swath of virgin forest that rings the Arctic Circle and acts as a critical check on climate change.
" 'It's just unacceptable that a company like P&G is making toilet paper, a product that is used for seconds and flushed, from virgin pulp," said Shelley Vinyard, boreal corporate campaign manager for the Natural Resources Defense Council and one of several dozen protesters at P&G's annual shareholders meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday." . . .

Use recycled toilet paper? Wake up in the night thinking of that!

Cringeworthy moments from CNN Via Liberal Privilege

Is our educational system capable of creating voters for these Democrats? I fear so! Be afraid of these people; be VERY afraid.  TD

Maybe you do not like the often-abrasive President Trump, but he is all that "stands between America and Tyranny"  . . . "Anything that damages Trump will help an American-hating socialist who promised to run her choice for secretary of education through a child-abused 9-year-old girl dressed in a suit.  That was a mildly instructive moment in the insane CNN LGBT town hall in that you had a false Cherokee pandering to a false boy in the modern leftist version of Peter Pan.  Truth is always one of the first casualties of leftism. 

"The entire town hall was one giant promise to relentlessly persecute Christians while shredding religious freedom in America. " . . .

UPDATES:

CNN’s Anti-Religious Town Hall; "Billed an "equality" town hall, the CNN event was anything but."

. . . "Pete Buttigieg took this same tack, insisting that “the right to religious freedom ends where religion is being used as an excuse to harm other people.” Which of course depends entirely on what Buttigieg means by “harm.” There is certainly “harm,” for instance, in mutilating the genitals of a young girl — a more ecumenical venture than progressives care to admit — but does a baker’s refusal to bake a cake that violates his religious convictions “harm other people”? What if a church refuses to host a ceremony that offends its moral precepts? Does “religious freedom end” when someone refuses to grant moral approbation to someone else’s choices and behavior?" . . .

The Democrats’ Disastrous CNN LGBT Town Hall  . . . If the Democratic party were calling the shots, candidates would have been focusing on Trump and Syria and Ukraine, but the Human Rights Campaign, the most powerful LGBT special-interest group in the country, had partnered with CNN for the event, and the previously scheduled show had to go on." . . .

" ‘Paralyzed with hatred of President’: Sara Carter shares speech Nancy Pelosi wishes she NEVER gave on impeachment and WOW"

Twitchy  "Sara Carter shared the speech Nancy Pelosi gave about the Republicans impeaching President Clinton and it’s very, very telling.

"And as Carter says, it’s likely Nancy wishes she never gave this speech.

"Watch."

Impeachment: The Speech Nancy Pelosi Wished She Never Gave

"Transcript of Speech of Rep. Nancy Pelosi on December 18, 1998 during the impeachment proceedings for then President Bill Clinton:

"Today the republican majority is not judging the President Clinton with fairness, but impeaching him with the vengeance.
"In the investigation of the President, fundamental principles which Americans hold dear, privacy, fairness, checks and balances have been seriously violated.
"And why?
"As we are here today, because the republicans in the House [of Representatives] are paralyzed with hatred of President Clinton. And until the republicans free themselves of this hatred our country will suffer.
"I rise to oppose these unfair motions, which call for removal of the President of the United States from office, and in doing so wish to point out some differences between the investigation of the president and the investigation of Newt Gingrich.
"The first principal of the investigation of Newt Gingrich was, that at the moment we found exculpatory information it will be reported immediately to the accused and be made public.
"The independent counsel knew that the President was exonerated Travel Gate, White Water and File Gate and he held that information until the hearing, indeed after the election.
"This was not fair, indeed it is the responsibility of any prosecutor to immediately release information that is exculpatory."

 "Huh, this sounds sorta relevant to the impeachment of today, doncha think?"  Sara Carter

THIS...is CNN! Let's hope Project Veritas has what it promises about them.

In a country governed by public opinion, and where public opinion is largely governed by the press, isn’t it critical to understand what governs the press?  And this is why Project Veritas will be exposing CNN this week. James O'Keefe

On the Eve of the CNN Insider blowing the whistle on his own network…  . . . "This week, a CNN insider will blow the whistle and through Project Veritas will release dozens of recordings made of officials at the highest levels of CNN, revealing a political agenda, bias and misconduct hidden from public view.
"This series of tapes — which we think will be the biggest story of the year for Project Veritas — blends two extraordinary series of events; a brave insider secretly recording at work and a hard-hitting piece of hidden camera muckraking into one of the supposed “most trusted names in news.”
"A major aspect of this story is the heroic actions of an insider." . . .

Project Veritas announces major undercover exposé of CNN next week . . . "At the end of his speech to the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C.on Oct. 12, James O’Keefe, Project Veritas’s founder, announced what “may be the biggest story Project Veritas has ever broke.” An insider at CNN has come forward, O’Keefe said, having covertly recorded videos for months that promise to reveal what CNN has really been doing to – essentially – spin and fake the news. The revelations are scheduled to see the light of day next week."

As an aside, the CNN Equality townhall came in dead last.
