Rose Petals

By Tammy Derouin

The flaws of the progressive agenda, the so called enlightened way of thinking, will be our undoing as a free and independent nation if we continue to disregard history and put a higher value on death and enslavement rather than life and freedom. Why do those on the Left favor policies and forms of government which embrace enslavement, death and destruction? The Declaration of Independence is a liberating document; a document which severed our ties with oppressive rule and authority. Why would we want to go backwards? What is it about oppression and death that is so appealing to the Left?

Life is a wonderful gift, yet last week the state of Oregon celebrated a new law which makes abortions free for everyone in their state, including illegal aliens. It's called the Reproductive Health Equity Act. The Left likes to wrap their twisted way of thinking into hot button packages. This appalling package focuses on the fear mongering that someone or some entity is out to shackle all females at their ovaries. How is it that we understand the importance of life and the means to which we will go to save a loved one from death, yet so many can blatantly disregard the heartbeat of an unborn child? By making abortion an on demand procedure, some sort of new age right, we become desensitized to the true reality. Death is preferred over life and false rights, granted by the government, allow the government to inch its way further into a controlling role over everyone’s life.

More and more evidence is surfacing that the Obama administration did spy on President Trump before and after the election. This is huge and it should have everyone very concerned, regardless of political beliefs. Do we want our intelligence agencies secretly spying on American citizens for the political gain of an administration? Think about that, our intelligence agencies, if used improperly, could be used as political weapons against everyone......

House Republicans renew call for 2nd special counsel, amid fresh Comey concerns | Fox News:

"Foremost was the allegation – which emerged in transcripts of FBI staffer interviews conducted by the Office of Special Counsel – that the former FBI boss drafted a statement clearing Clinton in her personal email case weeks before interviewing her and making his public recommendation against criminal charges.

The claim has prompted some lawmakers to call for Comey to return to Capitol Hill to resolve discrepancies in his past statements."

Dinesh D'Souza: Colin Kaepernick's big lie | Fox News

Dinesh D'Souza: Colin Kaepernick's big lie | Fox News
"...The Democratic Left, symbolized by Kaepernick, seeks to portray themselves in resistance to oppression. In this view, Trump represents the party of oppression (bad America) and they represent the party of liberation (good America). 

 Kneeling at games is intended to convey a refusal to go along with American racism and oppression.
Yet historically, this gets things upside down. 

 Who is the actual party of racism and oppression? 

 The Democrats. 

 Who is the actual party that resisted oppression? 

 The Republicans.
Here are a few unassailable facts to consider:

• --While the secession debate was between the North and the South, the slavery debate was between a pro-slavery Democratic Party and an anti-slavery Republican Party.
• --Two of the three Democrats that Lincoln identified as the champions of slavery—Stephen Douglas and James Buchanan—were Northerners. Only one, Roger Taney, was a Southerner.
• --Even after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, the Democratic platform in 1864 sought a treaty with the Confederacy that would most likely involve a restoration of slavery.
• --After the Civil War, the Democrats overwhelmingly opposed the Thirteenth Amendment freeing the slaves, the Fourteenth Amendment granting equal rights under law, and the Fifteenth Amendment giving blacks the right to vote.
• --Jim Crow is entirely a legacy of the Democratic Party. Every segregation law enacted in the South was passed by a Democratic legislature, signed by a Democratic governor, and enforced by Democratic officials.
• --After Republicans shut it down in the late nineteenth century, the Ku Klux Klan was revived in the early twentieth century by a progressive Democratic president, Woodrow Wilson, who screened a pro-KKK movie in the White House.
• --For decades the Klan served, in the words of progressive historian Eric Foner, as “the domestic terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.” David Duke is an anomaly; virtually every KKK leader for the past 150 years has been a Democrat.
• --As historian Ira Katznelson shows, in order to get the New Deal passed, progressive icon Franklin Delano Roosevelt made deals with racist Democrats to block anti-lynching legislation and to exclude African Americans from most New Deal programs.
• --More Republicans than Democrats proportionately voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Bill of 1968. The main opposition to the civil rights movement came not from the GOP but from racist Democrats.

So are Democrats who pull down Confederate statues and protest the national anthem admitting the historical sins of their party? 

 Are these acts of honest public disclosure and humble contrition?..."

Obama-era Surveillance Timeline | Sharyl Attkisson

Obama-era Surveillance Timeline | Sharyl Attkisson:

"You can find many timelines that follow allegations of Russia tampering in the U.S. election and alleged involvement of Trump officials. But I couldn’t find any comprehensive timelines cross-referencing Obama-era surveillance of whistleblowers, journalists and other U.S. citizens with Russia surveillance allegations. So I built one. Please note: temporal proximity of events doesn’t necessarily imply a connection."

Corporations Have Rights. Why Not Rivers? - The New York Times

Corporations Have Rights. Why Not Rivers? - The New York Times
DENVER — Does a river — or a plant, or a forest — have rights?
This is the essential question in what attorneys are calling a first-of-its-kind federal lawsuit, in which a Denver lawyer and a far-left environmental group are asking a judge to recognize the Colorado River as a person.
If successful, it could upend environmental law, possibly allowing the redwood forests, the Rocky Mountains or the deserts of Nevada to sue individuals, corporations and governments over resource pollution or depletion. Future lawsuits in its mold might seek to block pipelines, golf courses or housing developments and force everyone from agriculture executives to mayors to rethink how they treat the environment.
...suit was filed Monday in Federal District Court in Colorado by Jason Flores-Williams, a Denver lawyer. It names the river ecosystem as the plaintiff — citing no specific physical boundaries — and seeks to hold the state of Colorado and Gov. John Hickenlooper liable for violating the river’s “right to exist, flourish, regenerate, be restored, and naturally evolve.”
Because the river cannot appear in court, a group called Deep Green Resistance is filing the suit as an ally, or so-called next friend, of the waterway..."

This Man Just Risked Everything To Leak AWFUL Truth NFL Doesn’t Want Americans To Know..! - Proud Trumpers

This Man Just Risked Everything To Leak AWFUL Truth NFL Doesn’t Want Americans To Know..! - Proud Trumpers:
"Stuart Varney has now joined Fox and Friends on Monday to talk about the NFL national anthem controversy. This Sunday, two-hundred NFL players and staff knelt down to protest the national anthem.

Varney reminded the entire FOX and Friends nation that the NFL stadium has collected $1 billion in federal subsidies. 

Stuart Varney: “There’s $1.1 billion in direct subsidies from taxpayers to the NFL… Taxpayer subsidies go to the building of stadiums. There have been 20 new NFL stadiums since 1997. All of them have received a degree of taxpayer subsidies.”

Wow. They don’t respect the country, yet all these NFL teams use taxpayer funds to build their massive stadiums.

According to Fox Sports, the American public has spent $7 billion to build and renovate NFL stadiums over the last 20 years. The US taxpayer often pays 46 percent of the cost to build these projects..."

Voter group puts 248 counties on notice over bloated voter rolls - Washington Times

Voter group puts 248 counties on notice over bloated voter rolls - Washington Times:

"The Public Interest Legal Foundation is warning nearly 250 counties that they could face a lawsuit over bloated voter rolls, after their own analysis released Monday found they have more people registered to vote than could theoretically be eligible.

New York City’s big counties are on the list, with New York County — also known as Manhattan — listing 54 percent more names on its voter rolls than the total number of people of voting age, according to Census Bureau figures.

The other boroughs also made this PILF list this year, as did San Diego in California."

One In Four Michigan School District Teachers Chronically Absent [Michigan Capitol Confidential]

One In Four Michigan School District Teachers Chronically Absent [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"A new report released by the Thomas Fordham Institute found that school teachers in Michigan’s conventional school districts are almost twice as likely to miss 11 or more days of school than teachers in public charter schools.
In Michigan, 24.7 percent of school district teachers miss 11 days or more – which the federal Office for Civil Rights defines as “chronically absent” – while 12.4 percent of charter school teachers miss that many.
Nationwide, the report says, 28.3 percent of public school teachers and 10.3 percent of charter school teachers are chronically absent.
The report suggests that a significant factor in the difference between the groups is whether the teacher has a union collective bargaining agreement..."
