Carson defends his research on aborted fetuses

(CNN)Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Thursday defended his past use of tissue from aborted fetuses for medical research even as he continued to criticize Planned Parenthood.
The retired neurosurgeon said his research, which took place in 1992, does not conflict with his call to defund Planned Parenthood after several undercover videos surfaced that purportedly show officials with the organization working with research companies using tissue from aborted fetuses.
Jen Gunter, an obstetrician-gynecologist, wrote on her blog that Carson had co-authored an academic paper published in Hum Pathol, in which he described working with material "from two fetuses aborted in the ...
TRUMP EFFECT: IS ERICK ERICKSON THROWING DOWN GAUNTLET TO RUSH LIMBAUGH?

Did we just see Erick Erickson’s Red State draw a red line in the sand in front of Rush Limbaugh? And if so, is it another aspect of the booming dynamic known as “the Trump effect?” That very case can be made – as Erickson used Red State’s daily email blast lead story from Dan McLaughlin on Wednesday to fire shots across the bow of all talk radio hosts and other pundits who are in any way supporting Donald Trump. And while Erickson does not have the by-line on this indictment, it is right in line with his recent dis-invitation of Trump to speak at the recent Red State gathering. Moreover, while Erickson might not agree with every single word on the Red State site, ...

Spin: Dissecting Hillary's Email Scandal Campaign Memo Guy Benson Town Hall Aug 13, 2015 Hillary Clinton is reeling from an insurgent Bernie Sanders and a blizzard of negative press on her spiraling email scandal. Campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri issued a "remain calm!" memo to supporters late yesterday, assuring them that there's nothing to see here. It's all just "misinformation" and "nonsense," she avers, adding that "we have the facts...on our side." They do not. Let's examine Palmieri's email: Friend – You might hear some news over the next few days about Hillary Clinton's emails. Because you are an ...

DERRY, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate John Kasich defended millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally as "people who are contributing significantly" to the nation, taking on a divisive issue Wednesday as he promised to redefine conservatism during his latest New Hampshire appearance. Kasich, a second-term Ohio governor, addressed immigration among other delicate political issues before a crowd of more than 200 packed into a small VFW hall, his second public stop in a two-day swing through the first- in-the-nation primary state. Kasich remains one of the lesser-known 17 Republican White House hopefuls, yet a strong debate performance in his home state last ...
Clerk's office defies order; no same-sex marriage licenses

A clerk's office turned away gay couples who sought marriage licenses on Thursday, defying a federal judge's order that said deeply held Christian beliefs don't excuse officials from following the law. The fight in Rowan County began soon after the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationwide in June. County Clerk Kim Davis cited her religious beliefs and decided not to issue marriage licenses to any couple, gay or straight. Five couples sued in federal court, and legal experts likened the case to the resistance some local officials in the South put up five decades ago after the Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage. "I will say that people are cruel, they are ...
The Spy Satellite Secrets in Hillary’s Emails

After months of denials and delaying actions, Hillary Clinton has decided to turn over her private email server to the Department of Justice. As this controversy has grown since the spring, Clinton and her campaign operatives have repeatedly denied that she had placed classified information in her personal email while serving as Secretary of State during President Obama’s first term. (“I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received,” she said last month.) Her team also denied that she would ever hand over her server to investigators. Now both those assertions have been overturned. Hillary Clinton has ...
Everything is Fake – Part 1

Everything is fakein our society today – or at least a great many things are. Our world is filled with an extraordinary amount of lies, deception, disinformation, misinformation, fakery, fraud, facades, mirages, propaganda and brainwashing. The good thing though is that once you awaken to the deception, you can use it as a tool for raising your consciousness. The idea that virtually everything is fake can be empowering rather than depressing. Sure, we’ve all felt overwhelmed, sad, angry and impotent at times when we’ve seen just how easily our (mis)leaders can fool the masses with sophistry and empty rhetoric, but they’ve all been placed there to ...

Senate committee seeks email facts from Clinton’s tech company By Greg Gordon, Marisa Taylor and Anita Kumar McClatchy Washington Bureau August 12, 2015 WASHINGTON The chairman of the Senate’s homeland security committee has asked a small, 13-year-old Denver technology company that managed tens of thousands of emails for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to describe what measures it took to safeguard national security information. The FBI, which has embarked on its own scrutiny of Clinton’s private server, also has shown interest in the company, Platte River Networks, which began managing Clinton’s emails in 2013, according to published reports.

Clinton aides vow not to destroy emails By JOSH GERSTEIN Politico 8/12/15 9:55 PM EDT Two top aides to Hillary Clinton gave assurances to a federal judge Wednesday that they will not delete any emails or other records related to their work at the State Department during Clinton's tenure as America's top diplomat. Lawyers for former Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills and Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin told the State Department they would abide by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan's request that they not erase any copies of federal records in their possession. In addition, Clinton lawyer David Kendall confirmed that a Colorado technology firm on Wednesday turned over ...

WASHINGTON (CR)—At a meeting of the Senate Small Business Committee on Thursday, five Republican senators voted to block Chairman David Vitter’s (R- LA) attempt to issue a subpoena necessary to investigate potential health exchange fraud by other members of congress. According to sources on the Hill, however, the opposition was surprisingly led by Committee member and presidential candidate, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY). The subpoena, as written, would require recipients to appear before a hearing so the committee can determine “DCHBEA’s knowledge of and role in permitting members, staff, administrators, officials and/or employees of the United States House of ...

The truth about Hillary Clinton's email server and the law By Pete Hoekstra, Victoria Toensing Published August 13, 2015 FoxNews.com “I did not email any classified material to anyone…” proclaimed Hillary Clinton at her March press conference in an attempt to quell questions about the unsecure server she used for all State Department business. Cleverly, Clinton dodged the fact that she received classified email on that vulnerable server, conduct also in violation of 18 USC 1924, which makes it a crime to have classified information at an “unauthorized location.” Just ask General David Petraeus. This week’s disclosure that Clinton’s unsecured ...

State Dept. accused of stiff-arming intel watchdog over Hillary emails Published August 12, 2015 FoxNews.com Top U.S. intelligence officials are running out of patience with the State Department's reluctance to turn over emails from Hillary Clinton's private email server, which have already been shown to have included top secret communications, Fox News has learned. The Intelligence Community's Inspector General has requested some 30,000 emails from Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State in order to conduct its own review. Those emails are in possession of the State Department, which has been gradually releasing them to the public. Clinton has agreed to turn over a ...
Cost of treating transgender troops called negligible

WASHINGTON — Treating the military's estimated 12,800 transgender troops with hormone therapy and surgery will cost about $5.6 million a year, a tiny amount compared with overall spending on military health care, according to an article published Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine. The cost of medical care will be a key factor as the Pentagon develops a plan to integrate transgender troops, which it announced last month. Defense Secretary Ash Carter gave his staff six months to work out details to allow them to serve openly, which current policy does not allow. The article, "Caring for Our Transgender Troops — The Negligible Cost of Transition-Related ...

After being disinvited from a RedState event over the weekend, Donald Trump called RedState’s Erick Erickson “a major sleaze and buffoon who has saved me time and money.” The Donald may be on to something. Erickson, a RINO on steroids could best be described with an old Ralph Kramden line. “I’ve seen some hypocrites in my day but he is the hippiest critic I have ever seen,” Jackie Gleason once quipped on The Honeymooners. Now Erickson’s latest comments are being taken to task by Bristol Palin and her mom, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The two completely expose the ridiculousness that is political correctness with a big Bang, Zoom. In her popular ...

http://www.coachisright.com TO KEEP THE REPUBLIC'S August 12, 2015 Coach Collins By Rod & Sherri Dodsworth, guest writers “A republic madam, if you can keep it.” What did Ben Franklin mean by his famous retort at the close of the 1787 Federal Convention? Here’s a clue: Voting every two years is insufficient effort to keep a republic. Franklin and his convention peers knew that unlike tyrannies and absolute monarchies, republics required the people’s active participation. This wasn’t a new concept; our Framers were well aware of Roman and Greek republics, all of which amended and improved their unwritten constitutions as changing times warranted. It was ...
Donald Trump Slaps China for Sucking the 'Blood Out of the United States'

Presidential candidate Donald Trump continued his tough talk in a speech Tuesday evening to over 2,500 supporters here. The New York real estate mogul discussed the news that China had devalued its currency, the result of which, he said, is to "suck the blood out of the United States.” Trump told the crowd his friend and businessman Carl Icahn, whom he called a “brilliant negotiator," is ready to jump in to trade negotiations with China and Japan. Experts and investors worry that the currency devaluation might make it harder for the Chinese to buy goods from Western companies. Trump received several standing ovations, including when he repeated his call to “build ...

If you are brave enough to get between Donald Trump and a microphone, make sure all your affairs are in order because he will be ready to rumble. During a press conference Tuesday night in Michigan, Trump was asked about the Black Lives Matter protesters who interrupted Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during an appearance in Seattle on Saturday. "I would never give up my microphone," he said. "I thought that was disgusting. That showed such weakness, the way he was taken away by two young women. The microphone...they just took the whole place over." The thought of someone even contemplating restricting his access to a mic was almost too much for Trump to comprehend. ...

1) Amendment to the constitution stating that citizenship upon birth is consigned only if the mother is a legal resident of the USA (be she citizen or green card holder). 2) Illegal aliens who entered the USA and have no arrest warrant can stay in the USA but will never be eligible for American citizenship unless they serve in the US military and achieve an honorable discharge. They would basically be green card holders for life. Additionally, the number of these legalized immigrants directly impacts the quota ratio from their country of origins and reducing their numbers until the yearly amount is used up. This is hoped would make the other country a partner in securing their illegal ...
Data on Use of Force by Police Across U.S. Proves Almost Useless

WASHINGTON — When the Justice Department surveyed police departments nationwide in 2013, officials included for the first time a series of questions about how often officers used force. In the year since protesters in Ferguson, Mo., set off a national discussion about policing, President Obama and his top law enforcement officials have bemoaned the lack of clear answers to such questions. Without them, the racially and politically charged debate quickly descends into the unknowable. The Justice Department survey had the potential to reveal whether officers were more likely to use force in diverse or homogeneous cities; in depressed areas or wealthy suburbs; and in cities or rural ...

I don’t put much stock in online surveys, which is why I wasn’t exactly setting my hair on fire over samples such as that Survey Monkey poll which came out within 48 hours of the debate showing The Donald standing strong after his “disastrous” debate performance. Pretty much ditto for the Morning Consult one. I’m waiting to see what some of the standard, wide sample phone surveys will say, but these online polls do start to carry more weight now that we’ve given the nation time to really soak in all of the analysis and media hoopla . Now the fallout is pretty well baked into the cake and Reuters/Ipsos has finished their next run (also an online poll, sadly, but ...

Now a just-released Morning Consult poll shows Mr. Trump’s approval rating jumping to 32% from 25% just last week. Perhaps even more remarkable is Mr. Trump’s favorable ratings also improved from 57 to 62 percent despite an all-out media attack against the New York billionaire following his remarks directed at Fox News in general and Megyn Kelly in particular that ...
