Born Alive Bill Will Be Major 2020 Issue
by Bill McMorris
{ freebeacon.com } ~ House Republicans want to hold Democrats accountable for the party's near-unanimous opposition to caring for babies who survive abortion... The GOP is pushing a bill that would force doctors to provide life-saving care to babies who survive abortions. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act failed in the Senate after only three Democrats crossed the aisle to support it, falling short of the 60-vote threshold. The Democrat-controlled House has blocked a similar bill from even coming to a floor vote, leading congressional Republicans to launch a discharge petition to rescue it from dying in committee. GOP whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R., La.) is spearheading the petition drive. His outreach effort to Democrats, however, has only yielded three signatures—putting him 18 votes short of getting the bill out of the Judiciary Committee. Scalise said Democrats will not be able to dodge the issue. "I hope they recognize that the country is paying attention now," he said. Late-term abortion gained national attention after New York adopted a bill that allows abortion up until the point of birth and prevents people accused of murdering pregnant women for being charged with the death of the unborn baby. The debate over the issue reached its peak when Virginia Democrat governor Ralph Northam, a career physician, defended allowing a newborn to die on the table unless the mother approved of resuscitation. Scalise said lawmakers will have to answer for their failure to act on the bill, even if they do not actively vote against it. Blocking the discharge position, he said, is tantamount to a vote in favor of infanticide. "You can't go home and explain that you support the murder of babies born alive," he said... https://freebeacon.com/issues/born-alive-bill-will-be-major-2020-issue/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=6c42e87d15-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_08_02_09_COPY_177&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-6c42e87d15-45611665 .
The New Islamist Lobby
{ americanthinker.com } ~ On April 1st and 2nd, the United States Coalition of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) descended on Congress for its fifth annual National Muslim Advocacy Day... USCMO is a national umbrella group for a veritable Who’s Who of Islamist organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim-American Society (MAS), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), and the Muslim-Brotherhood think tank International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). USCMO describes its mission as facilitating communication and coordination between all these groups, “to create and sustain an urgent, collective sense of direction.” USCMO is led by Oussama Jammal, a longtime Islamist who raised money for terror financer Sami al-Arian and has close ties with the Islamist party of Turkish ruler Recep Erdogan, and with the government of Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood -- as do many of the other USCMO leaders. USCMO nevertheless presents itself as the spokesman for the entire American Muslim community most members of which want nothing to do with the Brotherhood. And it is that message, more than any other, that USCMO wants to convey to our elected representatives: that Islamists speak for all Muslims in America. During National Muslim Advocacy Day, hundreds of participants from USCMO member organizations across the country converge on Washington DC to visit Congressional offices, predominantly Democrats who are friendly to the new Islamist-Progressive alliance, and lobby for a targeted policy agenda. As its website puts it, the lobbying event “provides American Muslims with an invaluable opportunity to forge lasting relationships with members of Congress and policy makers. Participants will also demonstrate the ability of Muslim delegates to develop good will within Congress for domestic issues that reflect the interests and needs of their community.” During Jammal’s speech at the beginning of USCMO’s training session yesterday, he stressed the “unity” displayed by the attendees, who came from organizations with very different he claimed ideologies and viewpoints. Though not too different; no Ahmadiyya or Muslim-feminist groups were there. “This is what USCMO is all about,” Jammal said. “We are about nothing other than our unity, our collective power… It is only when we are together that they will listen to us with respect, with full attention. But they have tried to keep us divided, to make us say ‘This is good, this is bad, this is ugly.’ And we are not going to allow this kind of division among our community.”... https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/the_new_islamist_lobby.html .
scumbag liar-Nadler on AG Barr: ‘He’s a
Biased Defender of the Administration’
by Jeffrey Cimmino
Rep. scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) called Attorney General William Barr "an agent of the administration" Sunday... explicitly dismissing Barr's determination that President Donald Trump did not obstruct justice in the Russia investigation. This marks the latest increase in scumbag liar-Nadler's attacks on Barr, whom scumbag liar-Nadler previous accused of not being a "fair broker." He and fellow Democrats authorized subpoena to get Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's full report from Barr, and Margaret Brennan, host of CBS's Face the Nation, asked scumbag liar-Nadler if he would have to go to a court to get grand jury information from the investigation released. "Well, yes, we would have to go to a court to get the release of the grand jury information, but that has happened successfully in every previous situation," scumbag liar-Nadler said. "And it's not up to the attorney general to decide with respect to that or with respect to other material that he decides Congress can't see. It's not up to him. Remember, he is a biased person. He is someone who is an agent of the administration, is an appointee, a political appointee of the president, whose interests he may very well be protecting here." "Do you actually then reject the entire summary? Do you believe there is possible criminal collusion?" Brennan asked. "Well, the attorney general said there was no obstruction of justice. He decided that. dirty cop-Mueller did not say that," scumbag liar-Nadler responded. "You're dismissing what he has said," Brennan pressed... scumbag liar-Nadler is a jerk and a moron. https://freebeacon.com/politics/nadler-on-ag-barr-hes-a-biased-defender-of-the-administration/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=6c42e87d15-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_08_02_09_COPY_177&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-6c42e87d15-45611665 .
Germany to end funding of extreme
pro-Iran-regime group after media exposés
{jpost.com} ~ Germany’s government will pull the plug at the end of 2019 on public funding for a radical pro-Iranian-regime organization... the Islamic Community of Shi'ite Communities of Germany - that is packed with antisemitic representatives who urge the destruction of Israel. After a series of exposés in Germany’s top selling paper Bild, the newspaper reported on Thursday that the interior ministry announced in a letter the stoppage of funds for the Shi'ite umbrella organization. Institutions in Hamburg that are controlled by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei fall under the rubric of the organization. The Free Democratic Party blasted the government for failing to earlier stop the funding of the Shi'ite association and for being “clueless about Islamism” in connection with the Iranian clerical regime. Germany’s intelligence agency classifies the Islamic Center in Hamburg - a member of the Shiite organization - as an “instrument” of Khamenei in the federal republic. The association is funded by Germany’s family ministry and the European Union. The German federal government declared the Shi'ite umbrella organization to be “influenced by extremists.” The Bild wrote that Germany's decision “comes around $426,037 too late” in 2019. In 2017, the newspaper reported that the government provided $317,454 to the organization to allegedly “counter extremism.” Substantial funds continued to flow in 2018 to the pro-Iranian-regime association...

Corrupt UAW Official Was DNC Superdelegate
by Bill McMorris
{ freebeacon.com } ~ A disgraced union official may have to submi this ballot to the 2020 Democratic National Convention from prison... Former United Auto Workers vice president Norwood Jewell became the highest ranking labor official to plead guilty to violating federal labor law. Jewell admitted to receiving luxury goods and lavish golf trips from the Chrysler executives he was supposed to be negotiating against. He is now staring at a possible five-year prison sentence, though the Detroit News has reported that prosecutors are seeking only 15 months of jail time. Even with the reduced sentence, Jewell may still be in federal prison when the Democrats' presidential nominating convention begins in Minneapolis. Jewell served as a superdelegate during the 2016 primary battle between scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton and insurgent socialist senator commie-Bernie Sanders. He is still listed as a DNC member on the Michigan Democratic Party's website with his term set to expire in 2020. Federal authorities announced indictments against top labor officials in 2017. Jewell, the UAW's lead negotiator for Chrysler, was implicated in the scandal in January 2018 and indicted in March 2019 before pleading guilty on Tuesday. Neither the DNC nor the state party returned requests for comment about Jewell's status within the organization. Republicans criticized Democratic leaders for maintaining ties with Jewell in the wake of the guilty plea. RNC spokesman Michael Joyce pointed to the fact that some of the allegations against Jewell took place even while he was serving as a party leader. While Jewell did not publicly announce his support in the commie-Sanders/scumbag/liar-Clinton race, the superdelegate process was criticized by commie-Sanders supporters for rigging the contest in scumbag/liar-Clinton's favor. commie-Sanders won the Michigan primary 49.8 percent to 47.3 percent, but scumbag/liar-Clinton earned more delegates... https://freebeacon.com/issues/corrupt-uaw-official-was-dnc-superdelegate/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=6c42e87d15-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_08_02_09_COPY_177&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-6c42e87d15-45611665 .

Hey Liberals, On Media Bias,
Please Remove the Plank from Your Own Eye
David Limbaugh
{ cnsnews.com } ~ What kind of Twilight Zone are we living in when Democrats pretend that the mainstream media are objective journalists and Fox News is an arm of the Trump administration?
People are always talking about media bias, so why am I bringing this up now?
Well, because of two news alerts that popped up on my phone. First, I read that the Democratic National Committee is refusing to partner with Fox News for the 2020 primary debates. The stated reason, according to DNC Chair Tom Perez? "Recent reporting in the New Yorker on the inappropriate relationship between President Trump, his administration and Fox News has led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates," he said.
Bill Sammon, Fox's senior vice president and managing editor in Washington, responded to the DNC's announcement saying, "We hope the DNC will reconsider its decision to bar Chris Wallace, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, all of whom embody the ultimate journalistic integrity and professionalism, from moderating a Democratic presidential debate." Sammon is clearly right about that.
The second news alert was titled "House Democrats Want 'Oversight' Over Fox News' Editorial Decisions." In a normal world, I'd have laughed this off as preposterous, but since the Democrats give us a new real-life episode from Rod Serling every day, I continued reading. House Democrats are demanding to know why Fox did not rat Trump out prior to the 2016 election for his alleged affair with Stormy Daniels, whom you might recognize as the lady who hired one of the most obnoxious lawyers in the history of America.
What prompted this latest Democrat overreach? Aha! Another piece in The New Yorker. That bastion of print media objectivity accused former Fox executive Ken LaCorte of spiking the Stormy Daniels story to protect Trump. LaCorte has vehemently denied the charge, saying the rumor lacked corroborating evidence and that the network was exercising responsible journalistic practices, as did other outlines.
House Oversight Committee Chairman scumbag-Elijah Cummings wrote to a former Fox reporter demanding she produce documents concerning Trump's alleged affairs. But scumbag-Cummings is reportedly going further, also seeking information that could be used to review Fox's editorial decisions.
How many times have we heard the republic was going to end if Trump didn't quit calling the Fake News Media the "enemy of the people"? In Trump's case, by the way, we're talking about rhetoric offered in response to a liberal press that has been dedicated to his destruction since he announced his presidential candidacy. Those hyperventilating about Trump's self-defensive verbal brushbacks are wholly silent about the House Democrats' actions — not just their rhetoric — in seeking to oversee the only arm of the television broadcast media that is not in an incestuous relationship with their party. Why no concern about assaults on the media? The threat to the First Amendment? Those outraged that Trump calls out the media are also mum about the wholesale dedication of all the major networks — and their nastier, more flagrantly biased cable offspring — to personally and professionally ruining President Trump and his family.
The liberal narrative about Fox's alleged bias is maddening considering the mainstream media's pathetically monolithic liberal message, and their laughably shameless charade about their blatant partisan activism being unbiased journalism. And let me share a little secret with my liberal friends: The token conservative guests or contributors who appear on the mainstream media are those who hate Trump as much as, possibly more than, Democrats and liberals do.
The left's phony indignation about Fox's partiality is especially exasperating in light of Fox's efforts to bend over backward to avoid bias and the appearance of bias, especially in its news division, and its continuous effort to include guests and contributors to present the liberal viewpoint — as lame as it usually is. Moreover, those Fox News opinion hosts who are supportive of Trump are forthright about it; they make it clear when they are offering their opinions — but they do not distort the facts.
The liberal mainstream media oligarchy still masquerades as God's gift to objectivity, but it is just a muscled-up arm of the Democratic Party — or the Party's puppet master, depending on one's perspective. They don't tell you when they're editorializing, which is always; they present their propaganda as unvarnished news. It's remarkable in its absurdity, really.
I probably view this sad state of affairs a bit differently than some of my conservative friends, who are convinced the liberal media know they are deceiving the people by thinly disguising their partisanship as journalism. In one sense, that is true, but I think there is also an element of proud self-deceit among these elites. Certainly in some region of their brains they know they are partisan hacks, but in another, their self-awareness is obscured by an intoxicating delusion that they are serving a higher purpose. As political liberalism is their quasi-religion, they actually believe that news with a liberal spin is the only valid opinion and all others are aberrant — and evil. So when they deliver their opinions dressed up as objective fact, they are honoring their higher calling. That, frankly, is scarier and far more dangerous to the republic than their calculated, conspiratorial collaboration to destroy President Trump and advance their leftist agenda.
