Senate Democrats are trying to turn the GOP’s refusal to move on the Supreme Court vacancy into the latest episode of the “war on women.” Led by some of their most senior female members, Senate Democrats will take to the floor Tuesday to launch a new messaging offensive that ties the battle over replacing Justice Antonin Scalia to a GOP-led hearing on late-term abortions scheduled to occur later Tuesday. The new tactic, led by Washington Sen. Patty Murray, the sole woman in Democratic leadership, is an attempt to galvanize women in the Supreme Court vacancy fight, particularly as the high...

The Senate Judiciary Committee today is holding a hearing on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act — legislation that would ban abortions nationwide after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Although half of all unborn children killed in late-term abortions are little girls, Democrats in the Senate are bashing the pro-life bill by calling it a “war on women.” Last September, Senate Democrats blocked a vote on a pro-life Senate bill to ban late-term abortions — a bill that would save as many as 18,000 unborn babies form abortions each and every year. The bill highlights how unborn babies feel intense...

Rosie O'Donnell pissed off the autism community with a joke about autistic kids, which is why they're now calling Rosie a "piece of dog s***" ... and Rosie now has regrets. O'Donnell performed at Carolines on Broadway Sunday, where she joked that parenting her teenagers was so tough she'd trade them in for autistic triplets in an instant. A rep for the National Autism Association says her org is beyond offended. The rep didn't hold back, saying Rosie wasn't only "dog s***," she was mushy dog s*** on the bottom of their shoe. The rep railed on, saying O'Donnell "crossed...

Amid all the media analyses of the prospects of each of the candidates in both political parties, there is remarkably little discussion of the validity -- or lack of validity -- of the arguments these candidates are using. It is as if what matters this election year is the fate of a relative handful of people-- currently seven -- running for their respective parties' nominations. Meanwhile, the fate of the 320 million Americans who are going to be affected by the outcome of this year's election fades into the background. The fact that Hillary Clinton's election prospects, for example, depend...

'Hookers for Hillary' Announce the 'Benefits' They'll Be Offering to Clinton Supporters Hillary Clinton has her fair share of Hollywood and big name endorsers so far, but one group in Nevada has captured the attention of various news outlets. They are "Hookers 4 Hillary," and they are the Bunnies at Dennis Hof's Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Carson City, Nevada - a legal brothel. One of the employees, Caressa Kisses, 29, told The Huffington Post that she will be offering some benefits for Clinton supporters: "If you tell me you're caucusing or voting for Hillary, I will give you a free...

Anyone have strong enough stomach and information junkie brain to dare watch with me?

President Obama should be aware that on any given day a woman or girl worshiping in the mosque would be dispatched away from the musallah where he will stand to speak out against “Islamophobia,” to the “prayer room for females,” as one worshipper described it. “While the free world awaits a Muslim reformation, the leader of the free world shows blatant disregard for gender equality by visiting a mosque that treats females like second-class citizens,” says Raheel Raza, a Pakistani-Canadian activist, author and cofounder of the Muslim Reform Movement, a new initiative that we support, advocating for peace, women’s rights...

Khan started World Hijab Day to build empathy for this perspective and to encourage non-Muslims, and Muslims who don't normally wear a hijab, to try it out. The Arabic word hijab refers not just to a headscarf but to modest dress and behavior in general.

Bernie Sanders is right about one thing: Hillary Clinton is Wall Street's candidate of choice. It's where she has been leading the real "War on Women" with the good old boys for years. Today, American women earn more bachelor's, associate's, graduate, and doctoral degrees than men. They also open small businesses and create jobs at record rates. Small businesses, entrepreneurship, and risk-taking have long been the engines that have driven the American economy. So why did liberals start waging an all out assault on these foundational values the very moment women rose to parity with men in these measurements? Do...

This is an excerpt from a larger Asra Nomani piece on honor killings in the Wall Street Journal. It's quite a dark look at what life under Islamic mores is like for women. In one particularly poignant chapter, Ms. Zoepf steps through the doors of a girls' prison in Syria, where 16-year-old Zahra al-Azzo was jailed for being raped. (That's right, they jailed her.) The prison is a sort of holding facility for girls like Zahra who are at risk of being murdered by their families in a so-called honor killing. Yet there is little to protect the young...

Sally Miller January 23 at 8:25am · . Please share. Consider this a warning. Trust me, no one is safe. Americans say "Fool me once...shame on you; Fool me twice...shame on me." In 1992, my life changed forever. Without warning, I was bombarded with deception from every angle. There were those intent on destroying me...who seemed like regular human beings...who acted friendly, like sincere people but were, as an FBI Agent advised "....only out to get you. Don’t trust anyone." Hilary once said "Bill will only lose this race over my dead body!" Her not so subtle reference to death...

Some politicians love to talk about the "war on women" in America, but women blessed to be born in a Judeo-Christian, Western culture have opportunities few women in history have ever experienced. America has women campaigning to become President of the United States from both parties. There are women who are corporate and community leaders who are leaving their mark on the future of their organizations and our communities. But there's a true "war on women" going on in parts of our world. As a result of outrageous attacks in Cologne, Germany on New Year's Eve, the extent of that...

a 33-year-old Muslim migrant to Canada, Walid Mustafa Chalhoub, was convicted of 24 charges of sexual assault and extortion against ten teenaged girls in Montreal. He pled guilty yesterday, part-way through his trial. ... Chalhoub would find teenaged white girls, get them drunk and high, have sex with them and film it. Then he'd threaten to expose them, unless they paid him money, or had more sex with him. One 16-year-old victim testified: "He said he could set my house on fire, to think of my family, that he was part of the Mafia. Chalhoub raped more women than Paul...

Taharrush is the Arabic word for the phenomenon whereby women are encircled by groups of men and sexually harassed, assaulted, groped, raped ... A culture that has a specific word for sexual assaults of women by groups of men is a danger to all women ... The Islamic world is steeped in misogyny. The Koran explicitly states that a woman is worth only half a man (Suras 2: 228, 2: 282, 4:11), that women are unclean (5:6), and that a man can have sex with his wife whenever he wants (24:31). The Koran even says that men are allowed to...

The only way for European women to have a future is to fight Muslim migration.The city of Cologne's website tells tourists that spending New Year's there is "something to write home about." It certainly is after the German city took in 10,000 mostly Muslim refugees last year. There are 120,000 Muslims already in the city making them more than 10% of the population. It has been estimated that Cologne will become a majority Muslim city by the last New Year's Eve of the century. When the anti-Islamist group Pegida came out to protest last year, the Cologne cathedral turned out...

ON New Year’s Eve, in the shadow of Cologne’s cathedral, crowds of North African and Middle Eastern men accosted women out for the night’s festivities. They surrounded them, groped them, robbed them. Two women were reportedly raped. Though there were similar incidents from Hamburg to Helsinki, the authorities at first played down the assaults, lest they prove inconvenient for Angela Merkel’s policy of mass asylum for refugees. That delay has now cost Cologne’s police chief his job. But the German government still seems more concerned about policing restless natives — most recently through a deal with Facebook and Google to...

Migrants who commit crimes should lose their right to asylum, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, toughening her tone as police in Cologne confronted right-wing protesters venting their anger at mass assaults on women on New Year's Eve. Police in the western city fired water canon to disperse protesters from the anti-Islamic PEGIDA movement, which has seized on the alleged involvement of migrants in the New Year attacks and stepped up its calls for a halt to the influx. Nearly two dozen asylum seekers were among those suspected of carrying out the attacks, police said this week, heightening tensions...

It turns out the "war on women" exists after all, and it's being carried out by women like Joy Behar and other pagan progressives like her. This week Behar's TV show, The View, provided proof that a male creep/perp need not be anywhere in the room for real life victims of sexual assault to be thrown under the bus. Sure, Bill Clinton is "a dog," admitted Behar, while being confronted with his past infidelity and its impact on Hillary Clinton's presidential hopes. But hey, according to Behar taxpayer-funded birth control and satisfying the blood lust to kill innocent babies (millions...

Before I get into the substance of tonight's essay, I'd like to offer my deep gratitude to Nash Montana, who became a translation dynamo during the aftermath of events in Cologne and other cities. She translated three or four videos per day, and often an equal or greater number of articles. Thanks to her (and Vlad) the English-speaking world was able to get a well-rounded account of what was happening in Germany and Austria. Just over a week ago the culture-enrichers of Cologne went out for a wild night on the town. It was Silvester night, what we call New...

Since returning to the campaign trail as an advocate for Hillary, Bill Clinton has been harried by renewed interest in his past sexual misconduct as well as Hillary's alleged role in intimidating his victims into silence. Roger Stone, author of the New York Times bestselling "The Clinton's War On Women", claims that he has personal knowledge of previously unknown victims who are preparing to come forward with accusations against the former president. "I identified 24 women who've been assaulted by Bill Clinton," Stone said on The Sean Hannity Show. "Now some of these women are still terrified. Some of them...
