While many in the media are becoming more aware of the growing threat of human trafficking, they rarely cover the connection between sexual slavery and abortion. But a new documentary is doing just that.Blind Eyes Opened: The Truth about Sex Trafficking in America opened with a limited release in theaters on January 23, and is now showing at local locations nationwide. The Christian documentary “dives deep into the sex trafficking industry in the U.S.” and features politicians, law enforcement, and experts in an effort to inform the American public.Corporal Alan Wilkett of Pasco County Sheriff's Office in Florida begins the...

Soros Zuck the Gooogles? and all the other leftist monsters of tech?? are they in hiding? If so, where?

Puente's bond hearing in Cook County heard the little girl's mouth was covered as she began whimpering 'daddy, daddy' - before her father pulled her legs from under the door to get her to safety. The horrific ordeal was relayed in court where the accused rapist appeared for the first time. Robert Guadian, field office director of Chicago Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), blamed 'irresponsible lawmaking' for Puentes release. 'How many more victims must there be before lawmakers realize that sanctuary policies do not protect the innocent?' Guadian said.

The countdown to the announcement of his new contributor agreement with MSNBC has begun. – Preacher Pete Buttigieg, the scripture-quoting failed ex-Mayor of a small college town in Indiana, suddenly decided to end his hopeless presidential quest Sunday afternoon, a decision that seems odd given that it came just a little more than a day before the opening of the polls for the Super Tuesday primary contests in 14 states. The decision seemed even stranger given that it came mere hours after Buttigieg had given this interview with the execrable Chuck Todd on Meet the Press: Meet the Press ✔...

From twitter, cropped and scaled by Dean Weingarten Governor Pete Ricketts has come out strongly in support of people exercising their First and Second Amendment rights at the Nebraska State Capitol.< President Trump's use of social media outlets such as Twitter is serving as a template for other politicians to go directly to the people and around the coverage of the legacy media.On 21 February, at the Nebraska Capitol, hundreds of Second Amendment supporters showed up to the Judiciary Committee hearing to oppose further restrictions of the right to keep and bear arms,  particularly LB 816.The Second Amendment supporters exercised...

Today’s CG from The Arkansas Gazette. D ZDVH JUEV: DG IFBADPFGHB YH. D AFP BDG FPX ZUUV FG DG IUE MUTEB. ---QHEUYH V. QHEUYH You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram). Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated. PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips...

As we steamroll towards November, there’s a palpable feeling among conservatives that literally everything is at stake. I know, I know, each election is “the most importantest election ever,” they tell us every four years. It’s almost become a running joke. But this time, I’d have a difficult time making the argument that that isn’t true.  In today’s America, if you hold the keys to the federal government, you control more than an executive branch dweller a hundred years ago could even imagine, and the power only seems to have increased exponentially. In a sense we’ve become more like the...

Post #32. With so many rats running for president in 2020 it's hard to keep up with who's in and who's out. Hopefully, this post will help. This thread will be posted each week, likely on Monday, with the dropouts from the previous week and newly declared candidates noted. Below is a list of declared candidates and their occupation. Below that is a list of dropouts, their occupation and the date they dropped from the race. Dropout(s) in the past week: Tom Steyer dropped out after an embarrassing 3rd place finish in the South Carolina primary behind Biden and Sanders....

Officials have confirmed 978 cases in Iran and 54 deaths, the highest death toll of any country outside China. But religious leaders continue reject advice from the Health Ministry to close holy sites to help stop the spread of infection. Worrying videos posted to social media show worshippers saying they ‘don’t care what happens’ and ‘I am not scared of coronavirus’. A child is even hailed for licking a shrine in the northern city of Qom, which has become the epicentre for the Iranian outbreak. Journalist Masih Alinejed shared the videos and said the Iranian regime is ‘endangering the lives...

A second person has died of the novel coronavirus in the Seattle area and more confirmed cases of the illness have emerged in Washington State, officials said Sunday evening. Public health leaders in King County, Wash., said a man in his 70s with underlying health conditions died on Saturday at EvergreenHealth hospital in Kirkland. That’s the same facility where officials identified the nation’s first coronavirus death on Saturday — a man in his 50s with underlying health conditions. Officials also announced three other confirmed coronavirus cases in the county, all at EvergreenHealth. They include a woman in her 80s, a...

The greatest thing I’ve ever found about the Army or the military in general is that we are all the same. Black, white, brown or striped. We are all the same. We were all people willing to give so much more than ourselves for a country we believe in. The greatest disbelief I have is how, our single nation, treats our Veterans. No one I know signed up for healthcare, yet it was a guarantee. Yesterday I sat in the VA Hospital for five and a half hours. I sat next to a Marine missing his leg. I saw an...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - - The U.S. Navy is overhauling its approach to education because the nation no longer has a massive economic and technological edge over potential adversaries, according to a strategy it is releasing Monday. The Education for Seapower Strategy 2020, provided to The Associated Press ahead of its release, is the first unified, comprehensive education strategy for the Navy and Marine Corps, said John Kroger, who is implementing the strategy as the Navy’s first chief learning officer. It is very much a response to the nation’s geopolitical position in the world today, versus the advantages it had at...

Harvard, the crème de la crème of Ivy League education, has been proudly engaging in racial discrimination — in 2020.  Harvard has a sordid history of employing and supporting racists and engaging in antisemitic limitations on the admission of Jews. But this article isn't about the past; it is about present-day discrimination of a different group of Harvard-hated students: Asians. Asians have had their share of discrimination in American history, recall the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Japanese internment camps as examples. But the Asian U.S. community has proven themselves to be resilient and forward-looking, and they have effectively jumped over...

The following is a recent note that I wrote to our former high school football coach, Art Davis, who is now 85 years old. Dear Art, Thanks for the greetings. I hope you were able to make contact with my brother Tom. I got to thinking about the similarities of what we both do. You were the football coach at Barstow High School. The BHS varsity Football team, under your direction, won for the first time, the California State Championship (CIF), division AA, 50 years ago in 1969. You are a football coach. In a certain sense, I might call...

You would have thought that the vibe at CPAC this year would involve stressing about our November election prospects, but even as the market dipped over the coronavirus scare the general consensus was that whether we face Vermont Stalin or that miserable monied midget, we got this. The common image of conservatives is one of dour pessimism, but that is less due to some inherent doom-mongering on the right than to the decades of failure by Conservative Inc. Under the wise, steady guidance of our establishment betters, all we did was lose, but Donald Trump gave the cons a...

The senior official passed away on Monday morning at Masih Daneshvari Hospital in Tehran, where a large number of Tehrani citizens suffering from the disease are hospitalized. Born in 1948 in Qom, Mr. Mohammadi was a member of the sixth and seventh Iranian parliaments. He had been appointed by Iran’s Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as a member of the Expediency Discernment Council since August 2017. He was also a nephew of senior cleric Ayatollah Shobeiri Zanjani, and his mother – the cleric’s sister – had earlier died of the same disease. Before Mirmohammadi, Iran’s former ambassador to Vatican, Hadi...

A French hypermarket used self-service checkout stations to circumvent the country’s strict limits on working on Sundays, and many people were none too happy. Advertising For the first time in French history, a hypermarket was open on a Sunday afternoon. French labor law prohibits the employees of hypermarkets and large supermarkets from working after 1pm on Sundays. But last Sunday, the Géant Casino de la Roseraie in Angers, in northwestern France, was open to customers until 9pm. So how did they do it? Self-checkout stations and security guards employed by an external company. The workaround at the 5,000-square-metre store didn’t...
