Inhuman: Undercover in America's Late-Term Abortion Industry - NEW YORK
What I saw at the Gosnell trial
By J.D. Mullane | Posted: Monday, April 15, 2013
It is hard to decide the most appalling images to emerge Thursday at the murder trial of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. What happened in his abortion clinic is beyond any morbid Hollywood horror. Tiny severed feet and hands stored in jars over a sink in the "procedure" room.
Digitalis injected into the stomachs of pregnant women to stop the beating hearts of their unborn babies so that they would be born dead. Survivor babies whose spinal cords were severed, whose brains were removed with suction, whose tiny bodies were placed in a waste bin for disposal.
Then there is commonwealth exhibit C-147, depicting a large baby balled in the fetal position, bloody, stuffed in a bin. "Big enough to walk me home," joked Gosnell when he saw the child's remains, testified Ashly Baldwin, a clinic employee.
Gosnell, 72, is charged with killing seven born-alive babies and causing the death of Karnamaya Mongar, 41, an immigrant from Nepal who had sought an abortion at his West Philadelphia clinic. The clinic was busy, doing brisk cash business, catering not only to local women in West Philadelphia, but also women from the affluent surrounding suburbs of Bucks and Montgomery counties. Gosnell's reputation for no-wait abortions was so well known, women would fly in from other states.
Update: During today's Glenn Beck Radio Show, Mr. Beck spotlighted this story in conjunction with his thoughts on gay marriage. Watch that segment below.
A 2012 speech by Masha Gessen, an author and outspoken activist for the LGBT community, is just now going viral and it includes a theory that many supporters of traditional marriage have speculated about for years: The push for gay marriage has less to do with the right to marry - it is about diminishing and eventually destroying the institution of marriage and redefining the "traditional family."
Mike Weinstein hired to develop "religious tolerance" in armed forces. New polls say Americans are More Fearful of the Government then terrorist attacks. Student in California suspended for bringing pocket knife on camping trip. W.H.C. A. - media cronyism on resplendent display last weekend and more on today's Liberty News TV report.
We are so blessed that over the last four years thousands of churches in over 60 countries have stood in solidarity with Israel through CUFI Sunday. From the largest cities to the smallest towns, from mega churches in the American heartland to underground churches in China, Christians have come together to express their love and support for Israel.
We pray that your church will participate in the fifth annual CUFI Sunday on May 5, 2013. CUFI will provide you with all the materials you need to implement a successful CUFI Sunday, including videos, literature and Pastor John Hagee's personal sermon notes for your use.
Please click hereto participate in CUFI Sunday. As you'll see, you don't have to be a pastor to ensure that your church stands with Israel on CUFI Sunday.
The date we've chosen for CUFI Sunday -- May 5th -- is close to Israeli Independence Day. As the Jewish State celebrates her 65th birthday, there is no better present we can send than the news of thousands of churches standing in solidarity with her!
We look forward to uniting in action and prayer on behalf of Israel with you and your congregation on May 5, 2013.
May God Bless You and Those that You Love,
Pastor John Hagee National Chairman
David Brog Executive Director
Brigitte Gabriel to Speak
in Baltimore, MD!
Brigitte Gabriel
Leading Global Islamic Terrorism Expert
CLICK HERE to view Brigitte's special video invitation!
It is my privilege to invite you to a special event featuring Brigitte Gabriel, Founder and President of ACT! for America. This event is free and open to the public and will be held at the following:
Central Christian
7411 Rossville Blvd. Baltimore, MD 21237
Monday, May 6th at 7 pm
Ms. Gabriel will speak on the rise of Islamic radicalism in your community and in our nation. Her story of survival as a persecuted Christian living in a bomb shelter for 7 years will have you captivated and inspired! She will share how the events of 9/11 compelled her to start ACT! for America, the largest national security grassroots organization in the U.S.
The recent assaults at our embassies have been a sobering wake-up call to America. The lesson is that we should be displaying strength to our enemies, not appeasement which only demonstrates our weakness. Without question, the threats of radical Islam to America have increased.
These are just some of the threats Brigitte will discuss:
Suppression of criticism of Islam
Homegrown jihad
Terrorists infiltrating our borders
The Muslim Brotherhood and creeping sharia law in America
Misrepresentation of history in our public education
You will hear first-hand how ACT! for America is successfully rolling back the tide of radical Islam...how we are winning legislative victories...how we don't have to live in fear or resign ourselves to the inevitability of the threats arrayed against us...and how we will prevail.
I encourage you to forward this email to everyone you know. For those who are not familiar with ACT! for America, please share this short video with them.
I know those of you who have heard Brigitte will agree, not only do you not want to miss this, but you will want to bring your relatives and friends with you. It will be an event people will be talking about for a long time to come!
Invite your friends and come join us in Baltimore, MD! We look forward to seeing you on May 6th
Guy Rodgers Executive Director

More details to come!
As Israelis celebrate their 65th Independence Day this year, we should all take time out to reflect on the miracle of Israel's independence. We must also ask ourselves the question, "What can I do to ensure that this miracle of Israel survives and thrives?"
We announced earlier this week that we'll be headed to New Orleans the first weekend in August for this year's RedState Gathering. As a member of our RedState family, we'd like to extend exclusive Early Bird registration and pricing to you (just use the promo code EARLYBIRD on the registration page).
The 2013 RedState Gathering will be held August 2-3 at the Westin Canal Place in New Orleans, LA. We'll have two full days of speakers and activities and you can expect a good mix of elected officials and potential candidates for the 2014 cycle (we'll keep you informed as additions are made).
The Gathering has always been a unique event, in that all speakers, even the most in-demand and influential, pay their own way and make their own travel arrangements. This helps keep our costs low, a savings we are happy to pass along to our conference attendees. Additionally, we strive to get you up close to the speakers, ask them to take your questions, and we take care of nearly all your meals during the conference. Bottom line: fewer frills, more thrills and access.
We are thrilled to once again be joined by Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who will be hosting a reception for all attendees and appear at the Gathering podium as a keynote speaker. A huge hit in 2012, we're looking forward to Gov. Jindal playing an even larger role this year as he welcomes us to his home state.
Now, more than ever, true conservative activists must come together to exchange ideas and strategize for the future. That's what this year's Gathering is all about. We hope you'll join us.
P.S. Don't delay! You'll receive 20% off if you register today - just use the promo code EARLYBIRD. Click here.
From a trusted friend:
As some of you may know, I am associated with Coventry Christian Schools as a parent of a graduate (2010) and as member of the Board of Trustees. Last October we spent a wonderful evening honoring Mark Niehls at our revitalized Founder's Dinner and celebrated our shared heritage in the remarkable community that is Coventry Christian Schools. Our vision for future Founder's Dinners is to inspire and inform not only our alumni and current CCS families but to inspire and inform the Tri-County Area and even our region by hosting speakers and artists who can uniquely assist us in celebrating the heritage, core values, and mission of CCS while also lifting our vision for an even greater future built upon the foundation of our past. The caliber of our speakers and guest artists should provide us with wonderful opportunities to share our CCS story with new partners in Christian education. Proceeds from the dinner will be applied to our annual Coventry Kids Fund for CCS scholarships.
This year we are proud to announce that our distinguished guest and speaker is Dr. Benjamin Carson, and our dinner's theme is "Faith of Our Fathers: The Role of Faith in American Schools." Please join us as we welcome Dr. Carson to the Tri-County Area and celebrate the great things God is doing at CCS!
Dr. Carson is a highly regarded neurosurgeon and motivational speaker who has addressed various audiences across the country. He is one of the most honored and recognized physicians in the world and holds more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees along with hundreds of awards and citations. He is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States. He is the author of five books and is the founder of the Carson Scholars Fund. The 2009 award-winning movie entitled Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Carson, premiered on TNT and is based on his memoir. Dr. Carson is an authentic disciple of Christ, has been married to his wife Candy for more than 37 years, and is the father of three sons.
The 2013 Founder's Dinner, which will once again be a part of our Homecoming festivities, will be held at the historic Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown on Sunday, October 13th, 2013. Doors will open at 4:30pm, followed by dinner at 5:15. Dress will be business/professional. Tickets will be priced at $100 until May 15th, then will be $125, so reserve your tickets for the reduced price.
Due to Dr. Carson's international reputation and recent prominence in the media, including his recent speech at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, we fully anticipate that this event will sell out quickly once advertised to the public. Tickets go on sale to the public April 15. If you are interested in attending, tickets can be purchased online. I will send the link out to those who wish to go on April 15
th
. While online reservations are preferred because they facilitate efficient event planning, you may also complete a paper order form, which I can forward to you as well.
All of us at Coventry Christian Schools, look forward to sharing this very special evening with you and acquainting you with the school and its mission!
Blessings,
Christine Gordon

Heritage Foundation weighs in on Common Core
By Rachel Sheffield April 11, 2013: Policy Analyst, The Heritage Foundation (courtesy of Citizens' Alliance of Pennsylvania)This coming school year, Pennsylvania public schools will begin implementing the Common Core education standards. Like many other states, Common Core standards are quickly making their way into the classroom. While proponents of the standards continue to champion their predicted benefits, there is significant cause for concern.First, the standards represent a massive federal overreach. The Obama Administration jumped on board from the get go, promoting national education standards, via policy and federal taxpayer dollars, as part of their education agenda. Billions of federal dollars have gone towards and are continuing to fund, the promotion and implementation of these standards nationwide. The federal government's involvement with the standards should be alarming. Pushing state and local leaders away from classroom curriculum is not only a breach in federalism but gives parents, teachers, and communities less say over what children learn in school. Education experts have also raised alarm over the quality of the standards. Sandra Stotsky, Professor of Education Reform at the University of Arkansas, has particularly expressed concern over the English Language Arts. Common Core's ELA standards reduce emphasis on literature by promoting the study of "informational texts." Stotsky says
, "A diminished emphasis on literature in the secondary grades makes it unlikely that American students will study a meaningful range of culturally and historically significant literary works before graduation. It also prevents students from acquiring a rich understanding and use of the English language. Perhaps of greatest concern, it may lead to a decreased capacity for analytical thinking."
Common Core goes SOCIAL MEDIA!!! Please share with everyone you know and help us make this a huge success. MARK YOUR CALENDAR!!! Not a TWITTER person.....grab a kid and have some fun.
Parent-Led Reform (@ParentLedReform) will host a Twitter Rally on April 16, 2013 which will start will go from 12:00p-2:00p (EST). We will discuss how the Common Core State Standards effect your family, community and schools? We invite you to participate.
There will be an expert panel and several organizations that will discuss#StopCommonCore. So far I know the panel will consist of:
I'll update with a live link for the Twitter Rally (or you can just follow the hashtag #StopCommonCore) and as the expert panel is finalized.
Update: Be sure to RSVP with the Facebook event invite, this will help keep you up to date with pertinent info.
The whole story on Common Core
Read the sourced and footnoted response to the National Review Online and get all the facts you need to know about Common Core HERE. Compiled by American Principles project and Glenn's research team.
Common Core is the new set of federal education standards being pushed by the Obama administration and several leftist organizations but it's even seeing some support from some conservatives.
defending Common Core, and Glenn gave the definitive response on radio today."Common Core is something that we didn't really get for quite some time and again it's something we've learned from the 9/12 project and concerned parents all around the country that have been bringing this to our attention. When we started in on this work, we thought it was pretty bad. The more we do, the worse it becomes," Glenn said.
Below are some of the points made by the National Review Online in defense of Common Core, followed by Glenn's response.
Today on radio, Glenn gave the definitive response. See that and get all the sources to back it up HERE.
Students in some Albany High School English classes were asked to participate in the unthinkable this week as part of a persuasive writing assignment. The objective? Prove why Jews are evil and convince the teacher of their loyalty to the Third Reich in five paragraphs or less. See the actual lessonHERE.
A concerned parent tipped off TheBlaze to the disturbing fact that NY public schools are teaching the U.N.'s Socialist-leaning Universal Human Rights. We also discovered that the schools are delivering this indoctrination using videos made by the Church of Scientology. Learn what our investigation revealedHERE.
TheBlaze has been at the forefront in uncovering the disturbing details of the nationalized curriculum standard known as Common Core. One of the most troubling aspects of this federal program is that government bureaucrats are currently mining sensitive and highly personal information on children through Common Core's tracking system. Watch the powerful segments from The Glenn Beck Program HERE.
What information is being collected on your kids through Common Core?
TheBlaze TV subscribers can watch past episodes covering Common Core and CSCOPE. The March 14th episode focused on Common Core and the March 7th episode focused on CSCOPE. Not a subscriber? Sign up HERE.
Glenn has spent a lot of time over the past few weeks exposing some of the education initiatives in states across the country that are indoctrinating kids into the radical progressive agenda. Today, Glenn discussed an issue tied into Common Core that many people aren't aware of: data mining.
"We cover many important stories and topics on this program, but I don't think any could be more important than what we are covering tonight: the progressive takeover of America's schools,"
OK....when they look at you like you have a tin foil hat on your head......take some of this information with you. It is 126 pages. I have not read through the entire document (YET) but what I have read is enough to blow off the top of your head. I have highlighted some stuff. KIPP (Charter Schools) has a CHARACTER REPORT CARD on Page 39. So for now start on page 39 and work your way through to page 45. Remember FERPA laws were changed last year and I am sure not one parent is aware that permission to share information about our children no longer requires parental consent. Obama just slipped all these new changes in and I don't believe any parents were ever asked their opinions about these changes. And where was our Republican Congress when this happened???
AGENDA 21 is: The complete control and inventory of every human activity. After your friends read some of this information ask them if they still believe A21 is not real. Chapter 36 of A21 document is devoted to education.
Our government forgets there are still people alive that can think and see through their garbage.
Print this document and get a highlighter...........then start visiting your neighbors, school boards, elected officials and start screaming. GET COMMON CORE AND THE GOVERNMENT out of our class rooms. I think it is time to start a MASS movement for Home Schooling. I know Home Schooling will not be spared. This should be a movement to bring education back to the local level and DESTROY the Federal Department of Education. If our kids are not in school it will create an uprising at all levels. We should not settle for shutting down Common Core because they will masquerade it....they are already doing this in VA. VA supposedly never signed on to Common Core but GUESS WHAT........they ARE implementing Common Core and disguising it from the citizens in VA....of course they aren't doing a good job of hiding it and people in VA are catching on. Our schools have been in the process of a government take over (in earnest) for more than 20 years. If we don't shut down the Department of Education it will never stop. We have to cause a citizen uprising!!
Here is the U.S. Department of Education - Office of Educational Technology document:
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests"- Patrick Henry
To fix "THE SYSYEM" We must become "THE SYSTEM" - k. bracken "The change we seek has always required great struggle and great sacrifice." - Barack Hussein Obama "The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master." - Ayn Rand
Yes, it's true: You can support ACT! for America-at no cost to you!An important message from Guy Rodgers, Executive Director
The next time you make an online purchase of almost anything, you could be helping ACT! for America-at no cost to you.
Sound too good to be true? It isn't.
All you have to do is sign up for "iGive"-a program that's been around since 1997.
The concept is as powerful as it is simple.
Every time an iGive member makes an online purchase at over 1,000 brand-name stores, a percentage of that purchase is donated to that person's charity of choice.
And with the holidays just around the corner, you could be helping ACT! for America with every gift you buy!
The concept isn't new. In the mid-1990s many supporters of non-profit organizations signed up with long distance telephone programs where a percentage of their bill was donated to their charity of choice.
But our investigation of iGive has convinced us that this program has an ease of use and sophistication that we find remarkable.
Imagine booking a hotel room on Orbitz-and having 1.6% of that purchase price donated to ACT! for America.
Or buying an Xbox at Best Buy-and having 1.2% of the purchase price donated to ACT! for America.
The same goes for buying merchandise at Amazon, Bath and Body Works, Advance Auto Parts, Game Stop, Kmart, Home Depot, Holiday Inn, Old Navy, NASCAR Superstore, Overstock.com, Mattel, J.C. Penney, Office Max, QVC, Radio Shack, Shoe Carnival, Pottery Barn-and on and on the list goes.
In other words, every time you make a purchase of merchandise you would buy anyway, you would be financially supporting ACT! for America!
All you have to do is log on below and follow the directions to create your account and download the iGive "button." (Note: downloading the "button" is key).
When I was first informed of iGive, I was skeptical. I've seen these ideas come and go. Often, they're too good to be true. Or there are all kinds of glitches and problems.
So I spent hours researching.
I looked at online customer reviews (which were very good). I read all of iGive's fine print, such as Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. I signed up and even emailed two tech support questions to see how good their tech support was.
And the more I dug, the more I liked what I saw. For instance, both of my tech support questions were responded to within 60 minutes. How often does THAT happen?
As you know from our Patriot Partner program, we're all about encouraging a lot of people to each do a little-to do something. When everyone does a little, together we accomplish a lot.
So consider what could happen.
If just 1% of ACT! for America members each purchased just $400 in merchandise in 2013, from all the available outlets, and the average percentage donated to ACT! was 1.5%, the total amount donated back to ACT! for America would be...
...$15,000. That's a lot of money, wouldn't you agree?
And if you were one of those ACT! for America members, it wouldn't cost you one thin dime to help ACT! for America receive $15,000.
If this idea really caught on, and eventually 5% of our members made purchases with iGive, that $15,000 could explode to $50,000, $75,000 or more!
What's more, that 1.5% figure might be low. Many of the merchants offer percentage donations that are much higher. One printer inkjet company I looked at offered 13%!
Every merchant website you visit tells you right at the top what percentage of your purchase price will be donated to ACT! for America.
Just think what we could accomplish with an extra $15,000, $50,000 or $75,000 in our fight against radical Islam!
One of the things I most wanted to know was their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Check it out for yourself. I confirmed the terms with a company representative. And I like what I learned. As security-conscious as I am, I have no hesitation using the service-and I'm already doing so.
I know there are many people out there who would love to support ACT! for America, or give more than they're giving, but in these tough economic times they simply can't.
Well, here's a way that everyone who believes in our mission can easily support what we're doing-at no cost to them.
It doesn't get any better than that.
There are already chapter leaders who have signed up for the program, and the feedback I have been getting from them has been all positive. They love the idea and many of them are already using it.
So please, join me and these ACT! for America chapter leaders who are already signed up and using the iGive service.
Yours for a safe and free America

"This fantastic documentary is both entertaining and educational" - Dove Foundation
Rev. C.L. Bryant's documentary Runaway Slave has been a runaway hit! The film recently won the Crystal Dove Seal, and has been making waves across the country.
Runaway Slave is the story of C.L. Bryant, a former NAACP Chapter president who realized that the Democrat Party and progressive movement was hurting Africa-Americans and keeping them stuck on the government dole. Rev. Bryant discusses the impact of progressivism on the African-American community and how freedom works with a host of leaders including Dr. Alveda King, Herman Cain, Allen West, Dr. Thomas Sowell, and many others.
The Crystal Dove Seal award is given to films that are family-friendly and provide wholesome, educational content. Runaway Slave is an important movie for all audiences, and it has a message that should be heard if we want to achieve a society where character is king.
Congratulations to Rev. C.L. Bryant and the Runaway Slave team on their achievement!
Ted Cruz: Obama Pushing Citizenship Because He Wants Immigration Reform To Fail
Ted Cruz says GOP senators yelled at him "at the top of their lungs" for derailing gun control
Corbett's numbers get worse trails all Dems - Stuck in mid 30s
Thanks Rich of American Sheepdogs For those of you who don't know him, Rich Davis is salt of the earth, common sense conservative voter.
Governor Allyson Schwartz? Gov. Joe Sestak? Any Democrat = Taxpayer Bankruptcy.
It is apparent from the poll numbers that Tom Corbett is very unlikely to win in 2014.There is no reason to think his numbers will improve.
Team Senate Republicans led by Union Republican Sen.Pileggi and Deon Beer Cartelist and Union Republican Sen McIlhinney seem determined to block Governor Corbett's one and only free market initiative. Union Republicans, in both House and Senate, are undercut and sabotage this initiative. (Lest anyone think the House is pristine, take a look at Mike Long and Todd Nyquist's lobbyist disclousre form)
Recently, Union Republican Mario Scavello's fig leaf Prevailing Wage legislation (he hopes it will give him minimal cover of his key vulnerability) is another effort of Republican Leadership to undercut and sabotage economic freedom. (It's better than what we have but, like Act 25 of 2011, it will have little, if any, real world effect for The Forgotten Taxpayer who funds the treasuries of Union Organizers through the inflated Republican mandated Prevailing Wage).
Republican Speaker Sam Smith signed the $10 million dollar computer contract for which John Perzel went to jail AND Sam Smith voted for every single one of Ed Rendell's Bankrupting Budgets.
RendellCohen and the Comcast Billionaire Obama Democrats are funding Tom Corbett this time. One wonders if Ed Rendell is planning a third term disguised as a Republican. Hat Tip to Pete DeCoursey for breaking this story.
Do we still think Tom Corbett is still a Republican? It is very likely that Tom Corbett may well drag down other Republicans, especially, those running for US House.
FYI In November, there are bipartisan Penna. Supreme Court Retention Elections. Given their conflict of interest on overturning Constitutional age limitations as more fully set forth by Northampton DA John Morganelli. This election and the conflict of interest of the tainted Chief Justice Castile are not getting the attention it deserves. Thank you, John Morganelli.
Bruce Castor will be opposed by every Union and every Establishment Hack, Republican and Democrat. Bruce Castor is common sense conservative and The Forgotten Taxpayer's Friend.
If Bruce Castor beats Corbett in the primary, he will have the money he needs for the General Election. We, the grassroots, and the Republican Establishment cannot allow Schwartz Sestak Democrats to win (Rendell is starting to look good which is how bad this line up is).
Sam Rohrer cannot appeal to independents or Democrats. On the issues, the key issue is to eliminate automatic dues deduction. However, if we can't get the very popular liquor privatization bill, then it very unlikely that we will get Pay Check Protection to eliminate the use of taxpayer money to fund the political treasuries of Union Organizers. This is legal money laundering; using taxpayer money for private entity's, self-interested, political campaigns.
I am focusing on numbers because this is what seems to move Republican voters. In fact, Bruce Castor will ONLY win with large conservative grassroots campaign, and with Reagan Democrats, the few still left and Independents. Bruce has high positive polling profile in southeast and is solid on guns and law and order. Bruce Castor is also completely independent of Republican Establishment and Unions (sometimes the same thing).
1.NRCC & GOP About to Give Labor Unions a Huge Win
It is an amazing testament to how bad the other candidates were that Mark Sanford ran away with the race in South Carolina's first congressional district.
A deeply flawed man, he was the one guy the primary voters knew wouldn't go wobbly in Washington. But they, and I, presumed he was over the issues with his ex-wife. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago we learned things were not settled.
The NRCC and GOP abandoned Mark Sanford as a result. In a race the GOP could still - even now - win, the GOP decided it would rather lose than win.
Unfortunately for the GOP, losing South Carolina's Republican first congressional district will give labor unions a massive win.
The unions, which passionately hate Boeing producing the 787 in Charleston, have poured money in to help Elizabeth Colbert Busch. Right now, thanks to the NRCC pulling out of the race, the Democrats are outspending Mark Sanford three to one.
Yesterday, the Sanford campaign discovered Colbert-Bush has gotten a massive pile of money from another ultra-liberal group. But Republicans are doing nothing.
At this time, even with all Sanford's flaws, it seems ridiculous that the GOP would give labor unions a massive win. The media will herald it as a rejection, even in South Carolina, of Republicans. The unions will herald it as a major win for big labor.
In the process. the first district would get a stooge for Nancy Pelosi and a puppet for labor unions against Boeing.
Mark Sanford can still win. But he's going to need a lot of help. The chickens at the NRCC ran as quickly as they could. They need to man up and fight like hell. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2.Entrepreneurs: cartographers of the unexpected
Every now and then, you'll see an optimistic headline declaring that the entrepreneurial spirit remains strong among our young people.Gallup produced a widely-cited poll along those lines in January, declaring that 43 percent of young people still plan to start their own business.That's actually down 2 points from 2011, but it was still described as a "high and stable" level of entrepreneurial aspiration.
The problem is that Gallup polled students in the 5th through 12th grades.When the online career network AfterCollege performed a survey of twentysomething students, in coordination with a research firm called Millennial Branding, they found over 60 percent of respondents said they weren't interested in starting their own company in the next few years, while only 8 percent described themselves as "very" interested.Almost half of the students responding to the survey had not been to a job interview in the past six months, so their outlook on working for someone else was also fairly grim. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Must Washington fix our broken southern border? You bet.
Will the comprehensive immigration reform bill help? You bet it won't.
The number one flaw of the bill is it starts by giving amnesty to the unlawfully present population in the United States. As soon as the bill passes, those in the country contrary to U.S. immigration law are granted status to stay.
Amnesty immediately creates an incentive for illegal border crossings and overstays. Thus, the bill's strategy would drive up the cost of securing the border. To make matters worse, the draft law states that anyone who was present in the U.S. before 2012 qualifies-creating massive opportunity for fraud, since there is no proof required that applicants have been here for several years.
It was reported over the weekend that Russian intelligence secretly recorded phone conservations in 2011 between Zubeidat Tsarnaeva and her oldest son, Tamerlan, the dead Boston Marathon bomber. The topic: Sending Tamerlan to wage jihad in Palestine. He didn't go because he didn't speak Arabic.
This is a crucial revelation. Many U.S. elites are still trying to delude themselves into believing the brothers' motivation was political rather than religious. They are trying figure out the importance of their Chechen background. They are scratching their heads wondering why Chechen hatred for Russia led them to blow up Americans in Boston. But it may not have had anything to do with Chechnya.
The most important thing to know is that they are Islamic jihadists. When Zubeidat and Tamerlan were discussing jihad, they weren't discussing the best target for a Chechen political protestor, but rather the best targets for a Muslim jihadist! That's why she suggested her son wage jihad in Palestine instead of Chechnya or Dagestan.
The left often accuses conservatives of wanting to go back to the 1950s. But it's the left that is stuck in the 1950s, confused about why a Chechen would be angry at America. The explanation is not political or economic, but religious. In radical Islam's war against Western Civilization, Israel is the "little Satan" and America is the "great Satan."
Benghazi Hearings To Resume
The Obama Administration would like nothing more than for the Benghazi investigation to go away. But congressional Republicans are not dropping the issue. In fact they may be turning up the heat.
This weekend Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) told Fox News, "There are more Benghazi hearings coming; I think they're going to be explosive." Gowdy did not elaborate beyond that, but he offered one possible hint when he said, "direct testimony by eyewitnesses is always the most compelling."
Indeed. CBS reported nearly two weeks ago that "multiple new whistleblowers" were talking to congressional investigators. Members of Congress have been demanding access to survivors of the Benghazi attacks, some of whom were reportedly treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Perhaps we will soon be hearing from individuals who can corroborate reports that military support was repeatedly requested and denied on the night of the attack.
Do you remember former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's feigned outrage during her Benghazi testimony? "What difference, at this point, does it make?" she shouted at one questioning senator. No one has a greater interest in seeing Benghazi forgotten than Hillary -- the Democrats' 2016 front runner. No doubt Democrats and their media allies will adopt Hillary's rhetorical question as their mantra in the days ahead.
But the country, the victims and their families deserve a thorough explanation of what happened that night. The men and women serving our country in foreign outposts deserve to know that everything possible is being done to reasonably ensure that it doesn't happen again.
Obama: "God Bless Planned Parenthood"
Friday I wrote about the extraordinary act of Barack Obama becoming the first sitting president to address the leading destroyer of unborn children at its national convention. It was shocking that Obama would do so while Kermit Gosnell stands trial. But I want to go back to Obama's speech as it highlights two important aspects of this debate.
Kermit Gosnell is an African American. He built his clinic in the middle of a mostly African American community. His targets were mostly unborn minority babies. He treated black women like they were cattle. His staff members have testified that women were often put on tables covered with sheets still soiled with blood from previous abortions.
When the occasional white woman came to his abortion mill, his mostly black staff noticed how Gosnell treated them differently. When they complained, he laughed it off, saying, "That's the way of the world." Gosnell is a black man who hates babies and practiced racism in his own mill.
Standing there before Planned Parenthood, Obama had the perfect opportunity to denounce Gosnell. Yet, like so much of the left-wing media, Obama did not mention him. To this day the president, the first man of color in the White House who is able to emote about injustice at the drop of a hat, has not denounced what Gosnell did.
Why not? Sadly, one can only conclude that it is because he is so committed to the carnage of innocent unborn children that he will tolerate virtually anything to make sure he does not in any way undermine that "right."
But at the end of his speech, Obama did something truly astonishing. He said, "Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you."
Barack Obama called on the God of the universe, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who hung stars in sky, to bless Planned Parenthood. Obama called on the God who knows us so well that He knows the number of hairs on our heads to bless Planned Parenthood. Obama called the God who said "I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life," to bless Planned Parenthood.
In an administration full of shameful moments, that may have been the most shameful of all.
Obama's Priorities
Roughly 12 million Americans are unemployed and millions more are underemployed. Nearly five million Americans have been unemployed for more than six months. Their families are not taking vacations or enjoying time on the golf course.
But in the middle of their suffering, President Obama has more time to play golf and go on vacation than to meet with his advisors to get the economy moving again. Just how much time may surprise you.
The Government Accountability Institute determined that Obama spent 976 hours playing golf or on vacation, compared to 474 hours in "economic meetings of any kind." If there were a conservative president in the White House with that kind of record, this report would lead tonight's evening news broadcasts.
And what are Democrats on Capitol Hill doing? They are busy raising taxes, pushing so-called "comprehensive immigration reform" and trying to limit your Second Amendment rights.
It's The Islam, Stupid GrassTopsUSA Exclusive Commentary By Don Feder 04/29/2013
Two weeks ago today, two brothers are alleged to have set off a bomb at the finish line of the Boston Marathon that left three dead - including an eight-year-old boy - and injured 282. At least 14 lost limbs. Our president implored us not to "jump to conclusions" and thus end up stereotyping his favorite faith.
In the interim, a friend sent me a link to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists website. (In case you're curious, here it is http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists/@@wanted-group-listing.) With one exception (a convert named Adam), all had names like Ibrahim, Abdul, Omar, Jamal, Abdullah, Ramadan, Hasan, Mohammed and Muhammad. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
As the political establishment, mainstream media, academia and our moralizer-in-chief have pointed out repeatedly in the past fortnight, there's absolutely no connection between Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (AKA, the Boys from Chechnya, via Dagestan) and the Religion of Peace.
"The Boston Bombers Were Muslim: So?" ran a headline in The Atlantic. Over at MSNBC, Chris (if I only had a brain) Matthews told us motivation was irrelevant: "Where was their inspiration? Where did they get the guidance? Why is that important? ... I mean, what difference does it make why they did it, if they did it?"
Threat and Response-Part Eight One way we're working to stop homegrown jihadists
Over the past four years, nearly 190 homegrown Islamic terrorists-Jihadists-have been arrested in America.
The good news is that law enforcement officials in Tennessee now have much stronger tools to fight terrorism in their state.
In 2011, ACT! for America chapter leaders in Tennessee, working closely with Eagle Forum, led the grassroots effort that won passage of a stronger, tougher anti-terrorism law.
What makes the law particularly valuable is that it prohibits religious justification for violence. In effect, the law created a connection between the ideology of jihad and the act of jihad.
Get this-the law was fiercely opposed by Muslim organizations in the state who claimed it would prohibit the practice of Islam!
They were assisted by The Tennessean newspaper, which ran several biased articles that promoted false allegations about the law.
But when all was said and done, the truth prevailed and the bill passed.
This was a hard-fought and important victory, one that would not have been possible without ACT! for America's strong grassroots leadership and presence in Tennessee. Every American is safer today as a result.
When you financially support ACT! for America you are making victories like this one in Tennessee possible.
Because without your faithful support, we just wouldn't have the resources to build the only citizen action network of its kind that's fighting the threat of radical Islam.

The tougher anti-terrorism law passed in Tennessee in large part because our grassroots voice was so much stronger and more organized than the voice of the opposition.
It was strong enough to even overcome the opposition of The Tennessean newspaper.
We look forward to the day when every state in America has the grassroots power we have in Tennessee.
With your help today, we'll move that much closer to that goal.

Data obtained from the Mexican government's own statistics indicates that murders not related to drug cartel violence increased in the new administration's first four months.

The left has a clearly defined set of responses to a terrorist attack. After all the hopes for a properly right wing terrorist have come to naught, it begins the long slow process of rolling back the laws and emotional attitudes stemming from the attack.
For it, terrorism, like anything else, either fits into its narrative or conflicts with it. The narrative defines the world, past, present and future, in terms of the political agenda of the left. An event that clashes with the agenda must have its meaning changed so that the power of the narrative is restored.
Most violent attacks, from a street mugging to September 11, cause people to seek out security by combating the attackers. The left's task is to shift the narrative so that people see it in an entirely different way. The perpetrators become the victims by the trick of transforming the real victims into the real perpetrators. The lesson shifts from going on the offense to learning not to give offense.
The process is gradual and the playbook is infinite. Weapons of mass distraction are brought out. New villains are introduced and the emotional resonance of the events is drowned in ridicule. The tones are also many, from urging everyone to let love defeat hate to displays of virulent hate against the people "truly" stirring up trouble, but they all share a common agenda. Only the tactics vary.
According to a new report by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI), President Barack Obama has spent over twice as many hours on vacation and golf (976 hours) as he has in economic meetings of any kind (474.4 hours).
The report, "Presidential Calendar: A Time-Based Analysis," used the official White House calendar, Politico's comprehensive presidential calendar, and media reports through March 31, 2013 to calculate its results.
A group of high school juniors from Piedmont Governor's School in Martinsville, VA, were presenting a quilt to the local city council they made as part of a class project when they were interrupted.

He acknowledged that there was confusion about what was in the failed bill, and said the new version would have to be stripped down and simplified. Watch Manchin's appearance on Fox NewsHERE.
On Sunday afternoon, TheBlaze's Buck Sexton appeared on MSNBC to face Guardian columnist and blogger Glenn Greenwald on the causes of the Boston bombings.

As you may have read last week, certain parties in Congress (yes, you Harry Reid) finally got around to reading the so-called "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" and realized that their enviable gold-level federal health insurance plan will be replaced by Obamacare's onerous healthcare exchanges. What are liberal Democrats to do in such a situation? Try to grant themselves an exemption, of course.
That is why National Review has started the "Force Congress to Obey Obamacare" petition. Each signature is being sent to both Senator Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (of course she is in on this too). Please sign, and encourage your family and friends to sign this important petition today.
Our question is simple: If Obamacare is good enough for us, shouldn't it be good enough for Congress? The answer is obvious: Yes.
Breaking! Obamacare Harms States Like Pennsylvania
The Left continues to mislead the American people about Obamacare. Right now, the law's Medicaid expansion is being debated in the states, and liberals are trying to convince Pennsylvania's governor and lawmakers the Medicaid expansion is "free money" for states. There is no such thing as free money; in fact, the expansion adds an estimated $638 billion in new government spending over ten years.
Big-government politicians are not concerned about reducing costs for individuals or states. They are only concerned with centralizing power in Washington. The Medicaid expansion isn't a real solution and it will fail to reduce costs.
Obamacare is doomed to fail, and the Medicaid expansion will only make a big problem bigger. Medicaid does not provide quality healthcare coverage. Adding millions of low-income Americans into an already failing program isn't compassionate, it's wrong.
Thanks for standing with us to protect healthcare in America by opposing Obamacare's Medicaid expansion.
Sincerely,
Mike Needham Chief Executive Officer Heritage Action for America
Michigan Pulling Away from Common Core By Rachel Sheffield
Michigan legislators are working to put the brakes on Common Core and restore authority over what is taught in Michigan classrooms to state policymakers, local school leaders, and-most importantly-teachers and parents.
As the Washington Times reports, "The state House on Wednesday passed an amendment, attached to the Education Department budget, that prohibits any funding for the controversial Common Core system."
Although the Michigan Department of Education adopted Common Core in 2010, the legislature did not approve it. State Representative Tom McMillin (R), who sponsored the measure, says the authority to change standards belongs to the legislature, not the board of education.
We all know the usual reasons why we are prodded to read the classics - moving characters, seminal ideas, blueprints of our culture, and paradigms of sterling prose and poetry. Then we nod and snooze. But there are practical reasons as well that might better appeal to the iPhone generation.
Congress wants to put the U.S. firmly on record opposing a plan by a little-known UN agency, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), to vastly expand the ability of individual countries to censor the internet.
Rolling Stone's Tim Dickinson implied that women are such fickle, emotional creatures that something as simple as a pink frame is all it takes to woo female shooters. PJM contacted two pro-gun women to find out why they love shooting and the Second Amendment.

Inspiration
James Monroe
"Sunday, April 28, mark[ed] the 255th anniversary of President James Monroe's birth in 1758. ... How have we let this great patriot become a forgotten man? Monroe's military service alone made him a hero. When he was 18 and newly matriculated at William and Mary College, and the Second Continental Congress proclaimed the Declaration of Independence, he suspended his education to enlist in the Virginia infantry. ... Monroe and his fellow Virginia sharpshooters repelled a British advance, marking the first time in the War for Independence that Americans had whooped the British, forcing the redcoats to turn tail and run for their lives. Monroe played a key role in Washington's famous 1776 Christmas night sortie across the Delaware River. The teenaged Monroe was the co-leader, with one of Washington's cousins, of an advance party of 50 that had crossed the river ahead of the rest of Washington's troops, and then captured the two strategically placed cannons that defended the Hessian military camp outside of Trenton. Though seriously wounded by a musket shot, Monroe stood his ground, repelling repeated Hessian attempts to recapture the big guns, thereby saving many American lives (including, possibly, Washington's), and thereby making that indispensable, resounding victory possible. ... The amazing life story of James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States, would not be complete without mentioning that he passed from this world on the Fourth of July, 1831 -- five years to the day after his fellow presidents Adams and Jefferson. What a fitting conclusion to the life of a principled patriot who gave his whole adult life to serving his country and upholding our most noble ideals." --professor Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson
Government
"[I]f [the Marketplace Fairness Act] bill becomes law, fairness goes up in smoke. Online merchants would become revenue collectors for every sales-tax jurisdiction in America -- an estimated 9,600 of them, each with its quirks and quiddities. No longer would Internet retailers based in Massachusetts be liable only for sales taxes owed to Massachusetts. They would have to calculate and remit taxes owed to Tennessee and California and Wyoming and New Jersey, charging different levies for different customers, and somehow keeping up with the ever-shifting kaleidoscope of sales-tax rates, definitions, exemptions, and deadlines. Yet the owner of the brick-and-mortar shop around the corner would go on as before, charging only a single tax rate and remitting taxes to only a single state. ... There's a crucial reason why merchants can only be required to collect taxes for states in which they are physically present: Anything else would be taxation without representation. States must not be allowed to reach beyond their borders, imposing tax obligations on retailers who had no vote or voice in creating those obligations, no political recourse, no opportunity to be heard. Against such unfairness, Americans once fought a revolution. A craving for revenue is no reason to forget that." --columnist Jeff Jacoby

Chief Executive C. Dean Metropoulos said the company will pump $60 million in capital investments into the plants between now and September and aims to hire at least 1,500 workers. But they won't be represented by unions, including the one whose nationwide strike sparked the 86-year-old company's decision to shut down in November.

After 46 years the Texas Tower sniper killings still raises important questions.
On August 1, 1966 Charles Whitman a 25 year old former Marine and college student started his day by killing his mother and wife. He then packed up a variety of guns and a large quantity of ammunition and drove to the University of Texas Austin campus took the elevator to the top floor and began to shoot people as they walked by 28 floors below.
When he was finished he had murdered 17 including an unborn child and injured another 32 innocent people. For 1 hour and 45 minutes Whitman kept killing until he was gunned down by two brave Austin Police officers.
According to reports armed civilians arrived at the scene and helped the police by concentrating suppressing fire at Whitman. This kept his head down likely saved lives until the police could get up to the ... Continue Reading:The Texas Tower sniper killings still raising questions after 46 years
When a CNN host proudly declares oneself to be "The Enormous C---," you have to wonder.
We've got video not only of the C-word infraction, but also four audible A-words, two audible S-words, and three F-bombs -- all from the same CNN show!
It's an axiom of American cosmopolitanism that Europe is far advanced over the United States in terms of social democracy, tolerance, openness, and so forth, and at the pinnacle of European sophistication stands France. The French have it over us on everything from existential filmmaking, wine and cheese, anti-semitism, and embrace of gay . . . -wait, what's this? A major populist uprising against gay marriage in France, with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators taking to the streets? That kind of thing is only supposed to be happening in the deepest red recesses of reactionary Amerika I thought? And why haven't we heard anything about this in the American media? Oh, that's right: the media is too busy covering the Gosnell trial, and looking for the Timothy McVeigh behind the Boston bombing.
The London Spectator has a long piece on the anti-gay marriage protests under way in Paris (Paris France, not Paris, Texas), describing how the French government has resorted to calling out the riot police to disperse some of the protests, and wondering why CNN and other media aren't all over this spectacle:
Had the mobilisation in Paris taken place in Tahrir Square, the world's media would be unanimous that a 'French spring' was about to sweep away an outdated power structure, especially since the demonstrations (including the daily ones held throughout last week, which culminated in a massive impromptu rally of 270,000 people on Sunday afternoon) are attended by an overwhelming number of people in their late teens and early twenties.
By the same token, had the Moscow security forces tear-gassed children and mothers - as the CRS did on the Champs Elysées on 24 March - or had they dragged away by their necks youngsters who were peacefully sitting on the lawn after the demo - as the riot police did on the night of 18 April - then the worldwide moral policemen on CNN would be frantically firing their rhetorical revolvers. Such repression would be interpreted as a sign that the regime was desperate.
Beyond the immediate issue of gay marriage, the article sees the turmoil as merely a symptom of the failing political fortunes of French President Francois Hollande, which in turn is connected to the broader problem of an insular "ruling class" like our own:
France, like the rest of Europe and much of the industrial world, is governed by one single political superclass which straddles not only nation-states but also left and right. EU politicians spend more time seeing each other than their own voters, while the range of policies actually at stake at any election narrows with each one. This is why voters systematically reject their leaders, and this is why the young have been so massively present in the marches. Such a situation cannot last.
This may turn out to be true here as well. Take it away, Angelo Codevilla:
The Washington Post reports that the defense cuts mandated by the sequester are proving to be a "paradox" for the left. Keith Ellison, the ultra-leftist congressman from Minnesota, says he "feels torn" by the cuts because they further his goal of reducing the money available to the military, but contradict his goal of maximizing government spending.
When in doubt, the left these days will tend to opt for government spending, even if it means strengthening America's defense. Ellison is no exception. He says:
The bottom line is military spending is government spending, and in the absence of any sort of other stimulus for the private sector, we need to get it where we can.
This, then, is a paradox, defined as a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory proposition that may actually be true. For the left, opposing cuts to defense spending is absurd if the money is to be spent for its normal purpose - improving, or even maintaining, our military capacity. But if the purpose of the spending is government spending for stimulative purposes, then opposing a slash in defense spending becomes (against all odds) acceptable.
Meanwhile, defense spending presents most conservatives with a conundrum, defined as a confusing or difficult problem - in other words, a paradox minus the absurdity. Most conservatives want a strong defense and recognize that cutting military spending is antithetical to that goal. Sure, plenty of defense spending is wasteful. But it is fanciful to suppose that defense cuts will eliminate only (or even mostly) waste.
At the same time, most conservatives would like to see major cuts in government spending. And we recognize that, as a matter of practical politics, deep spending cuts cannot be achieved without significant cuts in defense spending.
How do we resolve this conundrum? I don't know. But one way to think about it is to note that, whether we like it or not, America's defense/military aspirations have been sharply, and probably permanently, reduced.
Historically, our goal has been to be able to fight and win two full-scale wars simultaneously, if necessary. But these days, America probably lacks the will to fight even one full-scale war at a time. Certainly that's the sentiment among Democrats. Republicans might be willing to fight one full-scale war under certain circumstances, but no more than that, I believe.
Thus, to the extent that our level of military spending is commensurate with a "two war" - or even a "war-and-a-half" - strategy, it is excessive, measured against what America is willing to do.
Public sentifment could shift, to be sure. And it would be tragic if, in that event, our preparedness were to come up short.
But it's difficult to see public sentiment shifting all the way back to where it was when the prevailing design of our military/defense structure was developed. Thus, those of us who oppose a serious rethinking of the appropriate level of preparedness are probably fighting a losing battle in the long run.
For now, though, we may be holding a winning hand. If Keith Ellison wants more military spending because, hey, it's a form of government spending, who are we to disagree?
Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, is as perplexed as I am about the circumstances associated with the Mirandization of the surviving Tsarnaev terrorist. Accordingly, he has written a letter to Eric Holder posing questions for the Attorney General.
Concerned that the interrogation of Tsarnaev may have been "conducted in a manner that prematurely cut off a lawful, ongoing FBI interview to collect public safety information," Rogers tells Holder:
I would like more information as to who determined that the proceedings [in a hospital involving the magistrate judge who Mirandized Rogers] would occur at that time and place while [FBI] questioning was still ongoing. I have received information suggesting that the Magistrate Judge may have appeared sua sponte to conduct the proceeding in a way that may have not been fully coordinated with the intelligence needs of the FBI. My understanding is that the normal practice places the duty to take the defendant to court (and accordingly discretion as to timing consistent with the rules) on law enforcement, and not the court.
Accordingly, I am requesting a specific and detailed explanation of the facts and circumstances of the nature and timing of this initial appearance. Specifically, I would like to know whether the magistrate or the government first raised the timing of the appearance, how and by whom the timing and conduct of the appearance were determined, and whether the Department of Justice or Federal Bureau of Investigation expressed any concerns about either the timing of the appearance and/or potential administration of Miranda rights to the defendant in the case.
I would also appreciate knowing when the prosecutors and public defenders appearing at the proceeding were informed of it, and whether they raised any concerns with respect to the proceeding. Finally, I would appreciate knowing whether other elements of the Intelligence Community or the Adminstration were consulted with respect to the potential impact this proceeding might have on intelligence collection.
For what it's worth, my guess is that the FBI raised major concerns about Mirandizing the suspect while it was still interrogating him. I'm also guessing that the magistrate's appearance was not "sua sponte." Rather, in all likelihood, government lawyers caused it.
Did they cause it by deciding to charge Tsarnaev? That, I think, would be sufficient, and necessary, cause for a judge of some sort to advise the defendant of his rights (normally this would occur in a court room, but here the defendant was injured and couldn't appear in court).
But why would government lawyers charge Tsarnaev while he was still in the hospital being questioned by the FBI - surely, they knew that doing so would lead to the Miranda warning? Probably because they (and here I mean top lawyers at DOJ) figured, for ideological reasons, that 16 hours of questioning were enough - never mind what the FBI thought - and that it was time to read this terrorist his rights.
For Department of Justice, then, protecting Tsarnaev appears to have trumped protecting the public.
I'm just speculating, though. Let's wait, but not breathlessly, to see what Eric Holder says.
How did I miss these two 30-second videos last week while compiling the Week in Pictures? The first is a recording, via YouTube, of NPR's Dina Temple-Raston speculating that the Boston bombing was likely the result of right-wing extremists because Hitler's birthday was about to be observed. Even though this video has only sound but no images, you have to hear it, not to believe it-much better than reading the text:
Next, check out this "public service" style ad in favor of gun control. Quick question: if gun technology should change the meaning of the Second Amendment, shouldn't changes in communications technology also change the First Amendment? Should people be allowed to hamper criminal and security investigations by live-tweeting the movement of police? (Never mind whether CNN-or NPR-should be allowed to broadcast speculation and call it "news.")
If I didn't know better, I'd say the entire gun control crusade is actually a false-flag operation being run by the gun industry. Just check out the chart below which appeared in the Wall Street Journal a few days ago:
Journalist J.D. Mullane appeared on FNC's Huckabee show over the weekend for an excellent interview on the Gosnell trial. Mullane spoke in moving terms of his attendance at the trial as a transformative experience. The interview essentially updated and amplified on his column "What I saw at the Gosnell trial." Someone should cut a video of the interview and get it online.
In the meantime, I want to draw attention to James Willis's post on "Kermit Gosnell and the American left." Here Willis warms to the subject, contrasting cases on which mainstream media attention is lavished with the Gosnell case:
Kermit Gosnell is not a particularly attractive man, nor has he any celebrity status. His patients, otherwise known as victims, were mostly young, poor black women or girls whose names have never been mentioned on Entertainment Tonight. We don't know if any of his youngest victims would have looked like Barack Obama. Gosnell didn't use an AR-15 to kill these children, he just used scissors.
Although the trial has finally gotten some media attention, the lack of coverage has gotten perhaps more air time than the trial itself. Perhaps I am wrong about the trial being ignored because of a lack of glamour; I suppose it is entirely possible that the media doesn't want to cover it because they don't want to bring negative attention to the abortion industry. To be honest, while both factors are probably involved, the latter is most likely the driving force.
Let's assume, just for the sake of discussion, that the left held the abortion industry in the same level of contempt as they do the gun industry. By now coverage of the trial would be wall-to-wall, with after action reports coming at the end of each day to recap the day's events and to speculate on the next moves by both the defense and the prosecution. We would have seen leaked photos of the jars containing the severed feet of the infants murdered at Gosnell's butcher shop, kept like trophies, and of the cat food containers used to store the remains of the dead babies.
Willis elaborates on the contrast and then takes up Obama's speech to Planned Parenthood this past Friday. He mentions Hitler in passing toward the end of the post, and in my opinion omitting the reference would have improved the post, but the whole thing is worth reading.
Gang of Eight Breaks Promise on Back Taxes
The Gang of Eight's amnesty bill (S.744) shows that illegal aliens will in fact not be required to pay back taxes in order to receive legal status. This conclusion turns on one word used in the text of the bill: "assessed."
Gang of Eight Breaks Promise to Bar Criminals from Receiving Amnesty
A close analysis of the Senate Gang of Eight's Amnesty bill (S.744) shows that its authors have broken their promise to bar criminals from receiving amnesty, called "registered provisional immigrant" status (RPI status).
At first glance, S. 744 appears to crack down on the eligibility of members of street gangs, but instead, provisions allow the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive them provided the illegal alien (and known gang member) renounces their gang association and are otherwise not a security threat.
Gang of Eight Amnesty Bill Allows Illegal Aliens to File Class Action Lawsuits against the United States
The Senate Gang of Eight amnesty bill authorizes illegal aliens to file lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, against the United States in order to force the government to give them amnesty.
Despite promises by the Gang of Eight, illegal aliens will not be required to learn English at any time during the amnesty process, known as "registered provisional alien" (RPI) under the language in S. 744.
Taxpayers to Foot Bill for Illegal Alien Attorneys under G8 Plan
Under the Gang of Eight's amnesty legislation, taxpayers could be on the hook for illegal aliens' attorneys' fees when they fight removal from the United States. The bill grants the Attorney General the "sole and unreviewable discretion to appoint or provide counsel" to aliens in removal proceedings, denying any judicial recourse if the Attorney General abuses such power.
Federal Court Finds Napolitano and Morton DACA Directive Illegal
A federal court ruled in favor of the ICE agent lawsuit that claims directives from DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE Director John Morton ordered them to violate federal laws by refraining from arresting or placing illegal aliens who meet the DACA criteria into removal proceedings.
Napolitano Proclaims S. 744 Secures the Southern Border
Last Tuesday, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, in what was the third (and final) hearing in as many working days on the Gang of Eight's 844-page "comprehensive" immigration reform bill and declared that the bill will make the country more secure.
House Bill Grants Amnesty to Illegal Aliens Working in Agriculture
The House began its piecemeal deliberations for overhauling the immigration system on Friday when Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) introduced H.R. 1773, the "Agricultural Guestworker Act," and described it as a bill that will help "American farmers with a workable temporary agricultural guestworker program that will help provide access to a reliable workforce."
Governor Deal Signs Bill Strengthening Georgia's Immigration-Enforcement Law
Last Wednesday, Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia signed into law Senate Bill 160, which strengthens and closes several loopholes in Georgia's 2011 immigration enforcement law.
Senators are in their home states this week, and they need to hear your opposition to the Amnesty bill. Our Capitol Hill sources tell us Senators are not hearing much opposition to the Gang of 8 bill that would grant instant Amnesty to more than 11 million illegal immigrants!
As Phyllis discussed in her recent column and as Senator Rand Paul noted in a recent editorial, in the wake of the terrible tragedy in Boston, Congress must do all it can to ensure our national security. We need real solutions, not Amnesty plus empty promises to secure the border.
Senator Jeff Sessions published this report explaining specifically how the Gang of 8 bill breaks the oft-repeated promise to secure the border first. Sessions notes that the so-called "triggers," the safeguards to ensure that the border is secure BEFORE granting Amnesty to illegal aliens, are not triggers at all. The Amnesty is instant, and the so-called triggers are merely requirements that the Department of Homeland Security file a report detailing how they will secure the border in the future. This is hardly the type of reform all Americans, native born and immigrants, need and deserve!
We need Congress to secure the American dream for all who seek it, and protecting our national security is the most fundamental aspect of protecting the American dream for all who seek it!
We need you to call your Senators today in their district offices and tell them to demand border security before Amnesty!
Our friends at Tea Party Patriots have designed this tool kit and plan of action to equip grassroots activists to take a stand against Amnesty this week. Please encourage your friends and neighbors to get involved and to make your voices heard.
Also, don't forget to sign the petition to let your legislators know that not all people of faith support Amnesty! Also, for regular updates on the fight against Amnesty don't forget to visit StopAmnesty.me and EagleForum.org.
Gas By Rich Galen New data from the Environmental Protection Agency indicates that drilling for natural gas releases significantly less methane (the main component of natural gas) into the atmosphere than previously thought. Twenty percent less. This is not seen as good news for the ultra-environmentalists who fervently believe that any fuel made from fossilized plant or animal matter (coal or natural gas) is bad.
'I'm going to grab your baby, and don't resist': Cops, CPS 'snatch' baby from parents
A seemingly crazy story is developing in California as a couple is claiming that CPS 'snatched' their 5-month-old baby boy out of their home after they sought a 2nd medical opinion. Is this another case of progressives believing they know better than the individual? They even caught part of the baby-grab on video. Read the story and watch the clip HERE.
It's a "no brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist"
The definition of marriage has been debated many times, but recently the radical left has made headway in successfully leading a PR campaign to change it for good. But is it just about so called 'equal rights' or is it something more? One prominent activist didn't hide the real target -- marriage itself. MORE

Is Obama really focused on the economy?
If it seems like President Obama vacations and golfs most of the time and occasionally takes a break to talk about the economy -- that's because it's apparently true. According to a new report, the President actually spends more time on the links and kicking back than working on the economy. Given the results, it's not all that shocking. Glenn reacts on radio today.
