    (Full Title) Kelsey Grammer Stands Up For Life, Says Reproductive Rights Is a ‘Dishonest’ Name for Abortion We don’t see much common sense coming from Hollywood these days. It’s a place where conservatives have basically been told they aren’t welcome. However, every once in awhile we see conservatives who aren’t afraid to stand up for what’s right. Kelsey Grammar is one of those conservatives and he recently sat down for an interview that ended up being a strong defense of the pro-life movement. Grammer told the Times he has “as much respect for women and women’s issues as possible,” but...

    FULL TITLE - Repost by Permission: US Federal Witness Due To Testify Against Hillary Clinton For Drug Crimes Killed In Massive Explosion A highly disturbing new Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today says that a US federal government witness who was due to testify this coming week before a grand jury in the expanding FBI probe into Hillary Clinton and her Clinton Foundation was violently killed, along with her husband, in a massive explosion that completely obliterated her New Jersey home—and whose expected testimony centered on a notorious American-based pharmaceutical company who gave money to the...

    Lawyers for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort are crying foul over a meeting Justice Department prosecutors held with four Associated Press reporters last year as news organizations and the FBI bore down on the longtime lobbyist and political consultant. Manafort’s defense has argued for months that the off-the-record session on April 11, 2017, was a potential conduit for improper leaks to the press about the probe that led to two criminal cases against the former Trump campaign chief. Now, Manafort’s attorneys have fresh evidence they say bolsters their claims: two memos written by FBI agents who attended the meeting...
  • Justice Ginsburg: “I Would Not Look to the U.S. Constitution”

    Justice Ginsburg: “I Would Not Look to the U.S. Constitution” Posted By Roger Aliman on July 3, 2018 Conservatives are often ridiculed for criticizing activist judges who fail to respect the Constitution. We are told that it is not conservative originalists (labeled ignorant and extremist) but rather enlightened liberal judges—with their nuanced understanding of constitutional penumbras—who truly respect the spirit of the Constitution Conservatives, however, have good reason to be skeptical of the left’s “respect’’ for the Constitution. Just last week, for example, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told an Egyptian TV station that she would not recommend the...

  • Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Recently Closed a Clinic, What It Left Behind is Shocking

    It seems tougher by the hour for Planned Parenthood to rationalize its long-held motto, “Care. No Matter What.” That steep task just got harder this week, amid revelations that a shuttered Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Iowa broke client confidentiality by leaving behind personal health information (PHI) records for over 2,500 of its former clients. In early May, a Dubuque office affiliated with Planned Parenthood of the Heartland completed the sale of its property to Clarity Clinic, a local pregnancy help organization, and left behind a closet full of patient files that took Planned Parenthood staff 10 days to come...

    Defence Expenditures of NATO Countries (2009-2016)NATO collects defence expenditures from Allies on a regular basis and presents aggregates and subsets of this information. Each Allied country’s Ministry of Defence reports current and estimated future defence expenditure according to an agreed definition of defence expenditure, and represent payments actually made, or to be made, during the course of the fiscal year. NATO also makes use of up-to-date economic and demographic information available from the Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs of the European Commission, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. In view of the differences between this definition and...

    GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy unloaded on Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff Thursday, slamming the leading Democrat’s handling of the Russia probe and saying he’s had “a terrible last couple of years.” Gowdy was speaking with Fox News when he was asked to comment on Schiff’s recent rhetoric where he labeled the Republican lawmaker as one of the “four horsemen of the apocalypse” in regard to obtaining information from the DOJ regarding the Russia probe.“Let me tell you this about Adam. Adam’s had a terrible last couple of years,” Gowdy said. “He wanted to be the attorney general under Hillary Clinton,...

    The NYPD used a $3 million counterterrorism plane to shuttle Mayor Bill de Blasio back and forth from his Canada vacation to the Big Apple for an event Thursday, The Post has learned. Hizzoner, who is in Quebec on a weeklong respite, briefly flew back to the Bronx for a memorial for slain Detective Miosotis Familia. “NYPD is transporting him in their plane,” de Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips told The Post. “Their plane” is a Cessna 208 Caravan that cost roughly $3 million and was picked up by the department in 2017, sources said. The high-tech aircraft is outfitted with...

    A Michigan State University sociology professor claims that the "abstract liberalism" of many Latino and Latina college students serves to reinforce "colorblind racism." Maria Isabel Ayala interviewed 50 Latino(a) students at Midwestern University, and was "dismayed" to find that they attribute their success to hard work and self-reliance while shunning affirmative action. A professor at Michigan State University is alleging that Latino students perpetuate “colorblind racism” due to their commitment to meritocracy and free market values. Sociology professor Maria Isabel Ayala made the argument in a recent study published by the Journal of Latinos and Education, having received $25,000 from...

    New Orleans police arrested a 14-year-old boy Friday (July 6) in connection with two shootings and a car burglary that occurred within a week of June. Investigators connected the teen with an early June car burglary, as well as a shooting on June 9 and a shooting on June 15. In the first incident, a woman parked and locked her car in the 1400 block of 3rd Street in the Garden District on June 2, but returned six days later to find it burglarized and a handgun missing from the glovebox, police said. Then, on June 9, officers discovered a...
  • NASA readies probe to touch the sun with 'cutting-edge heat shield'

    For the first time in human history, we are going to "touch the sun". As NASA prepares for an Aug. 4 launch, it has unveiled a "cutting-edge heat shield", installed on June 27, that will keep the spacecraft from being burnt to a crisp. The probe's mission will take it within 4 million miles of the sun, a region of space never before visited by a human-made spacecraft. For comparison's sake, the closest that Mercury ever gets to the sun is approximately 29 million miles. Getting that close to what is, essentially, a giant ball of fire requires some significant...

    Ever since Maxine Waters encouraged her supporters to publicly harass Trump supporters, liberals have denounced civility and things just keep getting worse. Now, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC Contributor Jennifer Rubin announced that if Trump gets his way with the supreme court, it is time for civil war. “The people who brought Donald Trump and delivered him to the White House want this [the overturn of Roe], and I think they will not be disappointed. So then the question is, if they’re not able to withstand this onslaught, not able to hold back a justice that would reverse Roe, what...

    There are those who refuse to accept how deviant and perverse the underlying progressive ideology of Democrats really is; however, that tribe is shrinking. More and more Americans are waking up to understand and accept the commonality. The latest example from Austin, Texas, is not an exception; this is who Democrats are. Do not look away. When a Democrat, an anti-social deviant, displays their true identity, it is in our nation’s best interests to accept it for what it is. Do not look away: “Donald Trump’s supporters are angry“, or “uneducated”, or “unenlightened”, or (Fill_In_The_Blank). This outlook was also clear...
