  • Democratic Resolution Would Honor Planned Parenthood as ‘Essential Thread in Fabric of Society’

    (CNSNews.com) – Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) introduced a resolution last week to “recognize the importance of Planned Parenthood’s contributions to women’s health care and reproductive rights in America over the last 100 years.” The resolution voiced strong support for the nation’s largest abortion provider, declaring that “the organization remains an essential thread in the fabric of society, and it will be key in the next century to assisting millions of women, men, and young people in accessing the health care they need and deserve, no matter who they are or where they live.” “Planned Parenthood should not be defunded, attacked,...

    A new project allows black people to write their own obituaries, with most envisioning the writer dying unarmed at the hands of police officers. Ja'han Elliot Jones wrote a single piece about his own death to create the Black Obituary Project, reports the Grio. Jones felt that he could likely be fatally shot by the police and decided to write his own obituary. "Ja'han Elliot Jones, 24, was unarmed when shot and killed in conflict with local police officers,"  it starts. Rather than submitting it as a freelance piece, Jones decided to start the Black Obituary Project after realizing many people could feel...

    Speaking about Hillary Clinton’s tax plan on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden went on a brief tangent about his grandchildren and joked that he was worth less than Sen. Bernie Sanders, a socialist. “I aspire for one of my grandchildren to become wealthy so when they put me in the home, I’ll get a window with a view,” he said. “As I pointed out, it was embarrassing that Bernie Sanders’ net worth is more than mine,” Biden said. “I have less money than a socialist. I don’t know what the hell happened to me.” “I have been doing this for...
  • Scarborough: Donald Trump Has Become Voters’ Default Choice

    washingtonpost.com ^ | October 4, 2016
    Despite a series of shameful episodes this week, Trump still leads in Ohio comfortably, he’s within the margin of error in North Carolina, and he’s staying within striking distance in Pennsylvania. If I were a Clinton supporter or just an average citizen who doesn’t care to live out the plot line of a Cormac McCarthy novel, I would be very afraid. Given Trump’s behavior over the past week (and month and year), Trump should be down 20 points by now and the media should be speculating about Clinton’s cabinet choices. But that is not our fate. Instead, Americans seem to...
  • Moscow Blames United States For Shelling Of Russian Embassy In Damascus

    Kyiv Post ^ | October 4, 2016 | By Meduza
    Russia's Foreign Ministry has declared that the shelling of the Russian Embassy in Damascus, Syria was the result of "those who, like the US and some of its allies, continue to provoke bloody conflict in Syria [and] flirt with militants and extremists of various types," read a statement posted on the Foreign Ministry website on October 4. The building of Russia's diplomatic mission in Syria, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, fell under attack on October 3. The fire came from the suburbs of Jobar, which is controlled by terrorist groups Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly known as al-Nusra) and Failak...

    Interesting how CNN's poll that puts Hillary up by 5 nation wide and up in all but Ohio does not offer the breakdown of how many registered Republicans vs registered Democrats they polled. So without knowing what their breakdown by party affiliation is, their poll is useless. I looked and looked, but I could not find the breakdown. maybe someone else can fond it, I need to get ready for work. So I'll check back later when I get to work. Here is the URL, if anyone can find the information share it. CNN/ORC Presidential Poll

    LOVELAND, Colorado — Donald J. Trump, the Republican nominee for President, rallied thousands—about 7,200 inside, according to the Trump campaign, and at least two thousand more outside—here while lambasting the media for refusing to report on the crowds. “Hey, would you do me a favor fellas, span the room,” Trump said, speaking directly to the media. “Span the room, it’s pretty amazing. The place is packed. New record, place is packed.” Turning back to the audience, Trump noted that his media corps that follows him around never show the crowds. “They never show our crowds, never. Maybe I’ll just wade...

    CalWatchdog ^ | 02 Oct, 2016 | James Poulos
    The face of immigration in California has become more complex than the political debate would suggest, with Roma, or gypsies, coming to the state in small but significantly increased numbers. The trend hearkens back to the old days of the controversy in the U.S., when Europeans fleeing adverse conditions at home sparked divisions over how many, and how much, to welcome. As Latin American immigration, lawful or not, recedes from its recent peak, current residents have begun to transition into more established roles, leaving openings for more newcomers.
  • SR1233 – Trump Leads Clinton by a Bigger Margin than Obama Beat Romney

    Still Report ^ | 10/3/2016 | Bill Still
    Trump Leads Clinton by a Bigger Margin than Obama Beat Romney Let the MSM crow all they want about Hillary Clinton’s small lead in their skewed polling. Trump is doing great in the only two polls that seem to portray an accurate picture of US sentiment – the USC Daybreak poll, and the UPI/CVoter polls, both the national daily version, and the state-by-state weekly poll. I didn’t realize this, but the USC poll actually existed during the last cycle, during the 2012 election. But at that time it was run by the Rand Corporation. It was therefore called the Rand...

    wnd.com ^ | 10/4/2016 | Mychal Massie
    You can elect not to agree with my conclusion, but if this election is stolen from Donald Trump, the utter collapse of America will be almost immediate. If Donald Trump wins (as he certainly should), and if the Lord tarries, the collapse of America will be stalled for perhaps another 15-20 years barring another world war Hillary Clinton and Erebusic neo-cons are committed to starting. Our system of jurisprudence is supposed to protect us from the incestuous camorra guilty of duplicitous machinations; instead the legal system and specifically the federal system works to protect the most egregious criminal offenders ever...
