Top 25 recipients of Planned Parenthood campaign cash | TheBlaze.com

Top 25 recipients of Planned Parenthood campaign cash | TheBlaze.com:

"Considering the Democratic Party’s official “pro-choice” stance, it comes as no surprise that Planned Parenthood’s donations would skew toward the Democrats. For example, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, during the 2014 election cycle, PP gave $892,000 to Democrats and $3,100 to Republicans. The 2012 election cycle was even more generous to the Democrats, with $1.2 million to Dems compared to $26,600 to GOPers.

After adding up the annual individual candidate numbers from the Center for Responsive Politics, here are the 25 federal politicians who have received the most Planned Parenthood campaign cash from 1990 (the first year for which data was available) through the end of August:"

The Muslim Emigration to Europe & America: Or, Hijra as Jihad - Eagle Rising:

"Muslims live within the context of the Islamic community—the umma—and are taught that Muslims are morally superior to Kafirs (non-Muslims) and deserve to hold power over them.  Thus, Muslims are prohibited from living in countries where Islam is disrespected and Muslims are not free to exercise their beliefs.

The West..."



This really explains how they work their way into a society.
It should sound very familiar.
We must protect our country.

CREEPING SHARIA: Muslims File Petition To End This German Tradition ⋆ Doug Giles ⋆ #ClashDaily:

"Oktoberfest is an annual, world renowned festival in Munich that celebrates the German culture. Featuring beer, brats, dancing and beautiful girls, locals and tourists flood into the 16 day festival bringing huge revenue into the economy and fun for all ages. Everyone has an amazing time and the country makes millions – so what could possibly go wrong?

This is what makes my blood boil. Prepare for your head to spin. Intolerant Muslims have filed a petition to put an end to Oktoberfest. As Obama is doing is doing in America, Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel is flooding Germany with Muslims. "



U gotta pay to go to the war zone?!!!-----What you need to know about new Detroit parking system

What you need to know about new Detroit parking system:
"The rollout of Detroit’s new parking system has been pretty smooth so far. 
But like any new tool, it takes a little trial and error to figure out the best way to use it.
After using the system several times since enforcement began Sept. 1 and paying in a variety of ways, we came up with a few tips and reminders for using the new parking kiosks.
They are set up downtown, Midtown, Corktown and along Michigan Avenue and Vernor in southwest and Livernois in northwest Detroit.
Parking meters in those areas have been removed. 
Rather than park in an assigned space, drivers park on the street and posted signs tell drivers the zone where they parked.
Drivers can pay with coins or credit card at a kiosk on the curb or through their smartphone by downloading the ParkDetroit mobile app or going to the www.parkdetroit.us website.
The standard fine for Detroit parking tickets remains $45, and there is no discount for paying early.
Here's what else you need to know:

8 Texas counties list more voters than residents

8 Texas counties list more voters than residents - Watchdog.org:
"No law prevents localities from having more registered voters than voting-age residents, and eight Texas counties do.
...Now a vote-watch group accuses the counties of violating the National Voting Rights Act by failing to purge dead, duplicate and ineligible voters.
The counties — Loving, Brooks, McMullen, Roberts, Irion, Jim Hogg, Culberson and Polk — list a combined 52,298 registered voters.
But the latest U.S. Census data show only 49,457 voting-age residents in those counties.

And Trump is considered controversial?-----Sanders: America Founded On 'Racist Principles'

Sanders: America Founded On 'Racist Principles' | The Daily Caller:
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders told a crowd at Liberty University Monday that America was founded on “racist principles” and that the country “took a huge step forward” in electing Barack Obama in 2008.
SANDERS: I hope that every person in this room today understands that it is unacceptable to judge people, discriminate against people based on the color of their skin. And I will also say, that as a nation — the truth is a nation that in many ways was created, and I’m sorry to have to say this from way back, on racist principles, that’s a fact. We have come a long way as a nation. Now I know, my guess is that probably not everybody here is an admirer or a voter for Barack Obama, but the point is that in 2008, this country took a huge step forward in voting for a candidate based on his ideas and not the color of his skin.

Palestinian President Declares: Jerusalem Holy Sites Are ‘Ours’ and We’ll Defend Them From the ‘Filthy Feet’ of Israelis | TheBlaze.com

Palestinian President Declares: Jerusalem Holy Sites Are ‘Ours’ and We’ll Defend Them From the ‘Filthy Feet’ of Israelis | TheBlaze.com:

"Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday asserted that all Christian and Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem belong to the Palestinians and vowed they would not be contaminated with the “filthy feet” of Israelis.

“Al-Aqsa is ours, and so is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,” Abbas said, referring to the church located where Christians believe Jesus was buried and resurrected.

Abbas went on to accuse Israelis of befouling Jerusalem holy sites, according to a Jerusalem Post report.

“They have no right to desecrate them with their filthy feet. We won’t allow them to do so, and we will do whatever we can to defend Jerusalem,” the Palestinian leader said at his Ramallah office."

Watch Hillary’s Answer When Asked to Respond to Carly’s ‘Dare’ to View Planned Parenthood Videos | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Hillary Clinton dodged a question during a live interview on CNN Thursday, declining to say whether she has watched the undercover Planned Parenthood videos that purport to show the abortion-provider selling fetal tissue.

“Have you seen those very, very controversial videos?” host Wolf Blitzer asked the Democratic frontrunner, referencing a “dare” Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina issued to her during Wednesday night’s debate."



Media flashback: Clinton’s nuclear deal with North Korea

Media flashback: Clinton’s nuclear deal with North Korea « Hot Air
Now that we have a “deal” with Iran, the Big Three–ABC, NBC, and CBS–centered on President Obama’s “spirited defense” of what is shaping to be his signature foreign policy achievement; they also hailed it as “historic.” Thanks to our friends at Newsbusters, they compiled clips of the coverage. Most importantly, they found the Big Three’s 1994 coverage of then-President Bill Clinton’s nuclear agreement with North Korea.
“This is a good deal for the United States,” said President Clinton. “North Korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. South Korea and our other allies will be better protected. The entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons.”
This whole agreement collapsed in 2002, when the CIA discovered that North Korea was secretly enriching uranium for further weapons production. The country, which also carried the title of virtually being the world’s largest prison, not only kept the nuclear weapons it already had at the time–which estimates said was to be just one–but they built more (shocker) and the geopolitical situation in Asia hasn’t changed.
Here’s the breakdown of the now-dead Agreed Framework with North Korea courtesy of Nuclear Threat Initiative:
  • freeze and eventually dismantle its graphite-moderated reactors;
  • seal, cease activities at, and eventually dismantle its reprocessing facilities;
  • cooperate in finding a safe method to store existing spent fuel from its 5 MW experimental reactor and to dispose of such fuel in a safe manner that does not involve reprocessing in the DPRK;
  • allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to monitor the freeze of its reactors; allow the implementation of its safeguards agreement under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) allow the IAEA to resume ad-hoc and routine inspections of facilities not subject to the freeze upon conclusion of a Supply Agreement for the light-water reactor (LWR) project;
  • come into full compliance with its safeguards agreement with the IAEA upon conclusion of a significant portion of the LWR project; remain a party to the NPT; and
  • take consistent steps to implement the North-South Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula; and engage in North-South dialogue.
In return for its obligations above, the DPRK was guaranteed the following:
  • two LWRs [light water reactor] with a total generating capacity of approximately 2,000 MW(e), financed and supplied by an international consortium, by 2003;
  • 150,000 tons of heavy fuel oil by October 1995 for heating and electricity production foregone due to the freeze of its graphite-moderated reactors, and 500,000 tons annually thereafter until the completion of the first LWR; and
  • formal assurances from the United States against the threat or use of nuclear weapons.
In addition, the Agreed Framework required the United States and the DPRK to:
  • reduce barriers to trade and investment, including restrictions on telecommunications services and financial services and transactions; open liaison offices in each other’s capitals; and
  • upgrade bilateral relations to ambassadorial level as progress is made on issues of concern to each side.
Will history repeat itself with the Iranian deal? It remains to be seen, but our current history in negotiating with rogue nations that have–or are seeking–nuclear weapons capability hasn’t been stellar in the slightest.

Obama spends $500 million to train 5 anti-ISIS fighters

Obama spends $500 million to train 5 anti-ISIS fighters: "
President Obama just found out how many good anti-ISIS fighters $500 million buys: five, at most.
Gen. Lloyd Austin, who leads the U.S. military’s Central Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday there are only four or five Syrian fighters left out of 54 who were trained as part of a U.S. program.
Another 100-120 fighters will be trained in the program’s three remaining classes, NBC News reported Wednesday.
Obama said in September that assisting Syrian rebels was “the best counterweight” for combating the Sunni radical terror group’s control over large swathes of Iraq and Syria, NBC reported..."

WARBIRDS IN FLIGHT

Face it Folks - Obama and Congress are Guilty of Treason - Eagle Rising

Face it Folks - Obama and Congress are Guilty of Treason - Eagle Rising:

"Only 40 percent of the Senate—40 U.S. Senators—and 47 percent of the House—
206 Congressman—voted against it; 56 U.S. Senators (excluding four abstainers) and 219 Congressman (excluding 10 abstainers) voted for it. That’s more than half of Congress and Barack Obama who funded America’s enemy with billions of dollars in cash– instead of spending that money to aid veterans and the roughly one third of Americans out of work and with no access to healthcare.

(The bill also authorized funding Obama’s executive order on amnesty for illegal immigrants, which Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and 21 other senators valiantly opposed– but lost. "



Obama's Legacy of Division and Debt

Obama's Legacy of Division and Debt| National Review Online:
Here and abroad, the Obama administration damages whatever it touches.
The next president and Congress will inherit what President Obama left behind.
Whether Democrat or Republican, the president will have no choice other than to try to undo much of what Obama has wrought. 
But can he or she?
...The press for the last seven years has largely chosen to become a Ministry of Truth.
One reason why Donald Trump soars is that, after the press’s canonization of Obama, the public relishes Trump’s contempt for the media — and the latter have now lost the moral credibility to critique any candidate on the grounds of dishonesty, hypocrisy, narcissism, mendacity, or polarization of the electorate.
The tragic mess of 2009–2016 is ending, and soon the cleanup will begin — accompanied by stupefaction as to just how much will have to be thrown away.

America Has Taken More Than Our Share of Refugees on Creators.com

America Has Taken More Than Our Share of Refugees on Creators.com:
"The United States is the most generous nation in the world, and we have taken many refugees from foreign lands.
Europe has not offered to take refugees from Central America, so why are some politicians here insisting that we take many thousands of refugees from the Middle East?
While refugee crises are tragic, crimes committed by transplanted peoples against unwarned, unprotected victims in our own coun
try are even more tragic.
Politicians demanding that American neighborhoods accept thousands of refugees, without proper screening or any indication by the migrants that they genuinely want to assimilate into our culture, should be rejected.
...Wealthy European nations did not offer to help out by accepting thousands of migrants from Central America.
We did not expect that of them, and they should not expect it of us now..."

How Obamacare Allows Companies to Punish Fat Employees

How Obamacare Allows Companies to Punish Fat Employees | Observer:
"A few months ago, Tracy Raymond, a first-grade teacher in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, discovered that she was too fat for her school.
A 50-year-old mother of two, Ms. Raymond has always carried around extra padding, but it never bothered her. “I know I’m heavier than I should be for my height, but I’m not obese,” she says. “I really don’t care.”
If the diet police has its way, she might have to start caring.
Because according to her employer, her weight is a big problem—so much so that she was warned that if she didn’t lose weight and lower her cholesterol, either by participating in a wellness program or fixing the problems on her own, her insurance premiums would increase by $50 a month.
...A 2013 report by ConscienHealth, a consultancy, found that 16 percent of employers require wellness program participation, including medical screenings, for access to full health benefits.
Of these, 67 percent set goals for weight and/or other health indicators linked to obesity (weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, diet).
But 59 percent said that their companies didn’t cover any evidence-based treatments for obesity, like fitness training, dietician, or medical weight loss clinics..."

"Andrew Breitbart got under the skin of the left like no other. When he entered the political scene, progressives had been so used to getting a pass from polite conservatives, they didn’t quite know what to make of him. By exposing the ties between unions, academia, the media and Democrat party, Andrew made their plan to disrupt everything we hold dear about our country much more difficult to implement.

He was 100% correct in his predication about what Obama would do to our country. It’s too bad the media did everything they could to bury his message and pretend he didn’t exist.

"The End Of The EU": Merkel's "Heroic" Refugee Response May Destroy Union, Slovakia Warns

"The End Of The EU": Merkel's "Heroic" Refugee Response May Destroy Union, Slovakia Warns | Zero Hedge:
On Tuesday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban served notice that he absolutely was not joking around about ensuring that an influx of migrants fleeing war-torn Syria did not end up “changing” Hungary’s “1000-year old Christian culture.”
So serious about this was Orban, that he built himself a 100 mile-long, 12-foot anti-migrant fence out of razor wire along the border with Serbia, passed a set of emergency laws that allow for the arrest and subsequent prosecution of anyone who damages his new fence, and then sent police on horseback as well as the military to enforce his new laws.
Here is the one-day result of that crackdown:

...As we noted on Tuesday, Hungary has begun sending refugees back to Serbia which is of course in no position to handle the influx even if it wanted to.
