Kevin Sorbo on Left: ‘Building a Wall Is Immoral;
Really? But Killing a Baby Is Okay’

by Michael Morris

{cnsnews.com} ~ In an interview with Shannon Bream on Fox News yesterday evening, actor Kevin Sorbo, recognized for his starring roles on TV shows such as “Hercules... The Legendary Journeys” and “Andromeda” and more recently for his family-friendly, Christian films “Let There Be Light,” “God’s Not Dead” and “Christmas Dreams,” questioned the left, saying, “Building a wall is immoral; really? But killing a baby is okay.” “Once again, it’s just sad an pathetic,” said actor Kevin Sorbo about the left on abortion. “I’m going to go back to the wall. Building a wall is immoral; really? But killing a baby is okay. What is there to say? It’s shocking and pathetic and sad. They are so brash with their way they want to do— They are a culture of death.” Kevin Sorbo’s comments came after New York Governor Andrew evil-Cuomo signed into law the “Reproductive Health Act,” a bill John Stonestreet and G. Shane Morris of BreakPoint called “the most radically pro-abortion state-level initiative in recent memory” and after Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran introduced a bill that would allow abortions up to the moment of birth, Virginia’s Governor, Ralph Northam, suggesting “that a baby born alive could be ‘kept comfortable’ and then ‘resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired’ – the implication being that the baby could be left to die if the family decided they did not want to keep their child,” reported CNSNews.com. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has repeatedly called on Congress to secure our borders and protect the American people, but Congress has refused to provide funding for a wall along the southern border between the United States and Mexico. Speaker of the House Nancy Pulosi (D-CA) even called Trump’s proposed border wall “immoral,” a difference between the then-incoming Democratic Party-led house and the White House, which led to the government shutdown. President Trump has since suggested he “may” use “emergency power” to build a wall, but that he would rather “do it through negotiated process.”... https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/michael-morris/kevin-sorbo-left-building-wall-immoral-really-killing-baby-okay?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkRneE9UUm1PREZrWlRneiIsInQiOiJCUW5RU1BQN2NOb1ZsblpJMDkzQmhDeGJvR3NYSmhYY1dUbVVpNGZpR1wvYWprUGx6T3R1Y1wvdGx2UkVJZG8wc1ptVERCYXBmQzUrQmg2Q1ViYmxLVjBoM25NejJ0RVVMN3YrTG42OW1iRFwvSjhoeXNkcU96M0VHU0xPSURORlMyeCJ9

DoD Official: Department Can Begin

Wall Construction Without State of Emergency

by Randy DeSoto

{westernjournal.com} ~ A top Pentagon official testified before Congress on Tuesday President Donald Trump would not have to declare a state of emergency... in order to direct the Defense Department to erect barriers at the U.S. border with Mexico. GOP Rep. Vicky Hartzler of Missouri raised the matter with Under Secretary of Defense for Policy John Rood during his appearance before the House Armed Services Committee. She pointed to Title 10, Section 284 of the U.S. Code, which authorizes the DoD to provide support for counter-drug operations, if requested by the appropriate federal and state authorities, CNSNews reported. Among other provisions, the law allows for the “construction of roads and fences and installation of lighting to block drug smuggling corridors across international boundaries of the United States.” Rood first acknowledged that the DoD has been providing support for counter-drug missions for decades and that support continues. “As you correctly point out, Section 284 of Title 10 does provide the secretary of defense the authority, in performance of that counter-drug mission, such as blocking drug smuggling corridors, to erect barrier fencing, provide road construction, things of that nature, to aid in that counter-narcotics mission,” the under secretary said...

Rouhani: We're facing unprecedented pressure

by Guy Cohen

{israelnationalnews.com} ~ Iran’s president said Wednesday the country was facing the toughest economic situation it had seen in 40 years... “Today the country is facing the biggest pressure and economic sanctions in the past 40 years,” Hassan Rouhani said, according to the presidential website. “Today our problems are primarily because of pressure from America and its followers. And the dutiful government and Islamic system should not be blamed,” he added. He vowed that the nation would “endure” the external pressure. “The US administration will definitely fail in its latest move against the Iranian nation,” he said. “Nobody can harm us as long as we follow the Supreme Leader.” Rouhani spoke at a ceremony honoring the Islamic Republic’s first supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, ahead of the 40th anniversary of the February 1979 Islamic revolution. US President Donald Trump re-imposed sanctions on Iran in May of last year. As a result, the value of the Iranian rial fell sharply, and many foreign companies left the country amid the recession. Yesterday, Trump tweeted, “When I became President Iran was making trouble all over the Middle East, and beyond. Since ending the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal, they are MUCH different, but a source of potential danger and conflict. They are testing Rockets last week and more, and are coming very close to the edge. There [sic] economy is now crashing, which is the only thing holding them back.”

Occasional Cortex: Therefore Japan Goes Nuclear

by David Archibald

{americanthinker.com} ~ Russia’s annexation of Crimea had its origin in Victoria Nuland and her ilk in the State Department. Nuland brought regime change to Ukraine and Putin’s reaction was in effect that if there were to be no rules, he would do what he wanted... which was to take back Crimea. Crimea had been part of Russia from 1783 but Nikita Khrushchev gave it to Ukraine in 1954 to make the map of the Soviet Union look neater. That is an example of unintended consequences if you don’t view the effects of your actions from the perspectives of all the players. Nuland rolled the dice and Ukraine lost Crimea. By the way, the Crimeans are happier to be part of Russia again. Ukraine is dirt poor with a GDP per capita of $2,000 per annum due to corruption. It is the Bolivia of Europe. Russia is just as corrupt but has 11 million barrels per day of oil production to share around. So it is also easy enough to predict that many governments around the world will be viewing the Democratic Party’s lurch to the far left with alarm. Suddenly all the treaties and expectations that have kept the world safe could be null and void, chief of which is mutually assured destruction. A lot of countries didn’t develop nuclear weapons in the 1960s and 1970s because they were assured that a nuclear attack on their territory would result in a nuclear attack on the aggressor by the United States. It is telling that one country that did develop nuclear weapons was South Africa, because it was a pariah state prior to the end of apartheid. Nobody could tell it what to do so it did what was sensible for South Africa. South Korea started the path to nuclear weapons in the 1970s, but the United States talked them out of it...

scumbag/liar-nObama’s FBI Ignored Lead That

CHINA Had scumbag/liar-CLINTON EMAILS

by Jeff Dunetz

{lidblog.com} ~ An Epoch Times report confirmed information first revealed by the Daily Caller and Fox News that the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) told... the “FBI in 2015 that a forensic review of scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s emails unearthed anomalies in the metadata of the messages. The evidence in the metadata suggested that a copy of every email scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton sent during her tenure as the secretary of state was forwarded to a foreign third party.” Evidence proved the third party was China. The Daily Caller spoke with a former intelligence officer back in August who said the ICIG “discovered the anomaly pretty early in 2015.” “When the ICIG did a very deep dive, they found in the actual metadata — the data which is at the header and footer of all the emails — that a copy, a ‘courtesy copy,’ was being sent to a third party and that third party was a known Chinese public company that was involved in collecting intelligence for China,” the former intelligence officer told TheDCNF.“The ICIG believe that there was some level of phishing. But once they got into the server something was embedded,” he said. “The Chinese are notorious for embedding little surprises like this.” (…) The Intelligence Community Inspector General warned of the problem, but the FBI subsequently failed to act, Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert said during a July hearing...

Fossil-Fuel-Burning Elon Musk Finds an Enemy in WaPo

by Jordan Candler: If there’s one thing The Washington Post has no shortage of, it’s irony. This week, the global-warming-will-surely-kill-us outlet reported that “Tesla chief Elon Musk’s corporate jet flew more than 150,000 miles last year, or more than six times around the Earth, as he raced between the outposts of his futuristic empire during what he has called ‘the most difficult and painful year’ of his career.”

The Post says these excursions underscore “an awkward dynamic for one of the world’s most outspoken crusaders of renewable energy: In September, a few days after calling fossil fuels ‘the dumbest experiment in human history,’ his plane burned thousands of pounds of jet fuel flying 300 miles from L.A. to Oakland so Musk could view a competitive video-gaming event.”

This self-righteous behavior has precedent, of course. As the Post concedes, “Musk is far from the only corporate leader to depend on the speed, flexibility and privacy of flying across the world on a private plane, and his high-profile role as chief executive, visionary and hype man for multiple companies helps explain why he would rely on it so heavily to get around.”

Yet there is hardly as much finger-pointing and lamenting over hypocrisy when it comes to other climate crusaders like scumbag-Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Bill Nye. These alarmists and many others regularly traverse the globe via airplanes for the sole purpose of vilifying the fuel that gets them places.

Just last week, MarketWatch reported, “Despite global warming being one of the major issues discussed at Davos every year, some 1,500 private jets are expected … at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, according to an estimate from Air Charter Service, up from 1,300 last year.”

Nobody in Davos has apparently heard of Skype.

Tesla’s mission is honorable. In fact, renewable energy is a worthy goal. But the agenda, rhetoric, and egregious hypocrisy surrounding the industry is repugnant. Musk undoubtedly deserves some criticism for his hypocritical behavior, but so too does the Post for its sanctimoniously looking the other way when it serves the Left’s broader agenda. In addition to Musk, the Davos story further demonstrates that elitists never actually practice what they preach. But coverage of leftist duplicity isn’t necessarily created equal. ~The Patriot Post
