  • Black Pro-Lifer Tells Antifa: If Black Lives Mattered, You’d Protest Planned Parenthood

    A black street preacher went to Seattle to tell the Antifa activists at CHAZ that if they truly cared about black lives they would protest at Planned Parenthood. The video of pro-life advocates Bevelyn Beatty and Edmee Chavannes is already going viral on social media. “Planned Parenthood is the number one killer of the black population,” Beatty, who was recently arrested for protesting at Planned Parenthood, says in the video. “I don’t see you there.” And she is absolutely right. Though abortions hurt families of every race and culture, statistics indicate that abortions disproportionately hurt the African American community. Census...

    Caffeinated Thoughts ^ | 07/13/20 | Michael Farrie
    Back in the day, the advocates of relativism wrapped themselves in the mantle of pluralism. The pretense is over, the new orthodoxy has arrived. Remember back just a few years ago, when academia and other societal elites told us that there were no moral absolutes. Every person could decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. There were even entire school courses built around this premise. One popular program was called Values Clarification. Academia challenged the idea that education should center on the pursuit of truth since truth was relative and individualistic. I heard Francis Schaefer speak on...

    US Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she would continue serving her post despite receiving chemotherapy for a reoccurrence of cancer. The 87-year-old judge insisted she would not retire at the moment, saying that treatment had yielded positive results. A BBC report claimed Ginsburg had received cancer treatment on multiple occasions over the previous years, each time returning to work ...

    Planned Parenthood has targeted Republican Main Sen. Susan Collins with a six-figure media buy highlighting Collins’ support for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, according to the Hill. The nation’s largest abortion provider launched the ad campaign against Collins Thursday with an ad that criticizes the senator’s support for Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court in light of his dissenting vote on a recent abortion ruling. “Susan Collins trusted Brett Kavanaugh to protect safe, legal abortion,” says a female narrator in the ad, first reported by The Hill. “But she was wrong. Kavanaugh voted against abortion the first chance he got....

    Eduardo Verástegui called Trump the 'best pro-life president ever.'WASHINGTON, D.C., July 15, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) ― A pro-life Mexican movie star has given an icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe to President Donald Trump. Eduardo Verástegui, star of the 2006 film Bella, was at the White House last week with other leaders in the Spanish-speaking community for the signing of the Executive Order on the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative. Verástegui, who is a practicing Catholic, told EWTN White House correspondent Owen Jensen that he had brought Trump a meaningful gift. “I brought the president a beautiful image of Our Lady of Guadalupe...

    Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday attacked the media as promoting Chinese propaganda and criticized the U.S.’s national reckoning on racism in remarks unveiling the State Department’s first report on the Commission on Unalienable Rights. The commission, meant to establish a foundational text for how the U.S. defines human rights, has been criticized as creating a blueprint to ignore modern understandings of women's reproductive rights and protections for LGBTQ individuals. Pompeo, in a speech at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, didn’t touch on these ideas but focused on the criticism of how Black Americans are treated in the...

    Hollywood and the entertainment industry have been pushing left wing politics for years. Now the monster they created is coming for them. Woke culture is taking over and many white actors and directors suddenly find themselves unable to find work in the industry. Many of them are panicking and still not realizing they are partially responsible for this.

    Since February of last year, tens of thousands of patients hospitalized at one of Minnesota’s largest health systems have had their discharge planning decisions informed with help from an artificial intelligence model. But few if any of those patients has any idea about the AI involved in their care.That’s because frontline clinicians at M Health Fairview generally don’t mention the AI whirring behind the scenes in their conversations with patients.At a growing number of prominent hospitals and clinics around the country, clinicians are turning to AI-powered decision support tools — many of them unproven — to help predict whether hospitalized...

    The daily email that arrived in physician Samantha Wang’s inbox at 8 a.m., just before morning rounds, contained a list of names and a warning: These patients are at high risk of dying within the next year.One name that turned up again and again belonged to a man in his 40s, who had been admitted to Stanford University’s hospital the previous month with a serious viral respiratory infection. He was still much too ill to go home, but Wang was a bit surprised that the email had flagged him among her patients least likely to be alive in a year’s...

    BOSTON — The furor on Capitol Hill over Planned Parenthood has stoked a debate about the use of tissue from aborted fetuses in medical research, but U.S. scientists have been using such cells for decades to develop vaccines and seek treatments for a host of ailments, from vision loss and neurological disorders to cancer and AIDS. Anti-abortion activists set off the uproar by releasing undercover videos of Planned Parenthood officials that raised questions of whether the organization was profiting from the sale of fetal tissue. Planned Parenthood has denied making any profit and said it charges fees solely to cover...

    Christian Post ^ | 07/15/2020 | John B. Carpenter
    In 2016, I signed the “Never Trump” pledge and did my part, as a “keyboard warrior,” especially on the Facebook posts of The Christian Post, to persuade fellow Christians not to support Donald Trump. I have a Ph.D. in church history studying the Puritans and am the pastor of a Reformed church and Mr. Trump struck me as a decline from the kinds of leaders Puritans would expect. Many CP readers may remember my incessant campaigning against Trump four years ago. I argued that he had a checkered past, that he was unlikely to support the causes which Christians should...

    <p>When today’s Democratic leaders say they’ll temporarily leave the Hyde Amendment - a provision which prevents federal funding for most abortions – intact in the new spending bill, sadly it’s not because some have estimated 2.13 million American lives have been saved by it. They are just biding their time until they can impose their extreme taxpayer-funded abortion ideology on all Americans.</p>
  • Biden’s vision comes into view, and it’s much more liberal than it was (anyone see Gropin' Joe today?)

    Joe Biden is looking at building 500 million solar panels, slashing U.S. carbon emissions within 15 years, and rapidly expanding a government-sponsored health care plan. He wants to overhaul the way policing is conducted on American streets and the way success is measured in primary schools. Over the past week, the presumptive Democratic nominee has offered the biggest burst of policy proposals since he effectively won the nomination, including a plan to spend $700 billion on American products and research. It marks a significant move to the left from where Biden and his party were only recently - on everything...

    Joe Biden rolled out his economic agenda in a speech Thursday that was heavy on the Obama-era policy greatest hits. The mainstream press mostly billed the Biden priorities that echo President Trump's, including boosting manufacturing, renegotiating trade deals, reducing dependence on China, and implementing buy-American provisions. These positions are a smokescreen to distract centrist voters from the far-left policies that Biden would implement under his de-facto campaign chairman Bernie Sanders if he took office. President Trump won Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, where Biden spoke on Thursday, by 11, 27, and 50,000 votes, respectively. Biden understands that he won't be able...

Last week, the Tesla founder, 49, threw his support behind the 42-year-old rapper's bid for the White House, yet after his interview sparked concerns that he was suffering a bipolar episode, Elon seemed to retract his support. When asked if he remains supportive, he responded in a tweet reading: 'We may have more differences of opinion than I anticipated.'

There is no situation on earth that the Devil we know with Hitlery, is EVER better than ANYONE, let alone Donald Trump. How many people has Trump killed again? Oh yes, zero. First of all, there's her never-ending killing spree of her political opposition. On August 6th, when I wrote, Clinton Adds +5 to Body Count in 6 Weeks, a...

    In a major win for religious liberty, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 on Wednesday that employers with moral or religious objections would be exempt from the federal mandate that requires company health insurance to cover birth control. The case was a consolidation of The Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania and Trump v. Pennsylvania, both of which sought to alter the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA). While the bill itself had no requirements for contraceptive access being guaranteed, this became mandatory through interim final rules (IFRs). While Churches have always been exempt...
