Brian Sims is having his 15 minutes of fame – or notoriety, depending on your point of view. A Pennsylvania state representative, Mr. Sims, a Democrat, distinguished himself on June 19, 2018 by “welcoming” Vice President Mike Pence to Philadelphia with a tweet featuring a photo of himself, grinning, with middle finger extended. “Let me be the first to officially welcome you to the City of Brotherly Love and to my District!,” he wrote. “We’re a City of soaring diversity. We believe in the power of all people: Black, Brown, Queer, Trans, Atheist, & Immigrant. So...get bent, then get out!”...

Leftists outside of a Philadelphia rally refuse to denounce Democrat Brian Sims for his recent antics. 12 minute video.

In what can only be described as a gross violation of the code of conduct befitting a member of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, new member Brian Sims (D-Philadelphia) openly harassed an elderly pro-life woman praying outside a Planned Parenthood in his district.

According to the Pennsylvania code, criminal harassment is defined thus: A person commits the crime of harassment when, with intent to harass, annoy or alarm another, the person: (1) strikes, shoves, kicks or otherwise subjects...

So here’s the deal, I’ve got a $100 for anyone who will identify any of these three,” he offered his viewers, pointing out the young girls. “We’re actually here just praying for the babies. And we actually believe women deserve more,” said an adult who was with the girls. “I’m gonna donate to Planned Parenthood,” interrupted Sims. “So, look, a bunch of white people standing outside a Planned Parenthood —” “I’m pretty far from white,” one of the teen girls interjected, giving off a laugh of disbelief.

Anti-capitalist, and self-proclaimed “rabble-rousing leftist” climate activist Naomi Klein took liberal guilt complexes to a new level at a conference to compel a transformation in climate change media coverage. Speaking on a panel about the Green New Deal at the Columbia Journalism Review event on April 30, Klein said what was holding people back from taking action on climate was a “sense of doom” and “self-loathing.” “Having covered this for a really long time, uh, I know that one of the strongest forces we are up against is the sense of doom, inevitability, but also kind of a self-loathing,” Klein...

Pennsylvania Democratic State Rep. Brian Sims thought it his duty to videotape and harass a pro-life woman protesting against abortion outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in his district, repeatedly telling the unnamed woman he had the same constitutional right to film as she did to protest. While Americans have the right to record protesters in Pennsylvania, the state also has a strict a two-party consent state, meaning even in public both parties involved in a conversation must give consent to be audio or video recorded. At various points in the video, Rep. Sims indicates he wants to have a conversation,...

Women aren’t having kids because of the president – according to one “motherhood clarity” therapist. On May 31, The Washington Post weighed in on the “child-free life” and “Why so many American women are deciding not to have kids.” Inside the piece, columnist Petula Dvorak outlined multiple reasons, including President Trump. Dvorak centered her piece on a recent report by the National Center for Health Statistics that showed a “sinking” U.S. birth rate. In 2017, only “3.8 million babies were born,” she wrote, which was the “lowest number in three decades.” There are “plenty of reasons,” wrote Dvorak, from the...

Is it bad timing or a politically incorrect viewpoint? A Father’s Day ad in Australia featuring a traditional family structure was not aired because it was seen as political intervention in the same-sex marriage debate. The ad, titled “Our Children Our Future,” begins with a father singing a lullaby to his newborn child, which included egregious lyrics like “your mommy and daddy are a perfect team.” The ad, set to run in the lead-up to a nationwide postal vote on same-sex marriage, is sponsored by Dads4Kids, a Christian organization that has run such ads for 15 years — Father’s Days...

A new directive from Israel's Education Ministry calls on preschool teachers to stop referring to "Mom and Dad" in preschool activities. The staff at the pro-LGBT Hoshen Organization, which offers training to preschool staff on the subjects of gender and sexual identity, has suggested Israeli preschool teachers speak about "parents" instead of "Mom and Dad." "It's worth remembering that there are many preschool children who come from non-traditional families. They may have two fathers, two mothers, two sets of parents, or LGBT parents who live separately and each has his or her own relationship," Hoshen explained. "Don't assume that every...

Hours before President Donald Trump will address the nation in a joint address to Congress, abortion activist Rosie O’Donnell is set to lead a protest against him outside the White House.

O’Donnell will lead a rally today called the Resistance Address — and part of the rally’s agenda is to promote abortion among other political issues. That stands in stark contrast to the theme of Tuesday’s Congressional...
