Planned Parenthood’s "ERRONEOUS" corporate sponsor list

If they sincerely cherish their names and reputations, the principals of Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox should launch a joint lawsuit against Planned Parenthood.


Until the scandalous video showed their doctors talking about the sale of aborted baby parts as ‘taking care of business’, the names of the three multi-nationals, among others, were being openly advertised as corporate sponsors on the Planned Parenthood website.  The purveyors of selling aborted baby parts have linked their names to infamy, and in fact disgraced all corporations boldly named on the Planned Parenthood website.

Members of the public at large have taken to the Internet calling for a boycott on the products of these companies thought to be in league with the baby killers.
“Representatives from Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Co. and Xerox say they’ve asked Planned Parenthood to remove their names as corporate donors to the embattled organization. (Daily Signal, July 23, 2015)

“The move follows a Daily Signal report revealing the names of 41 companies that Planned Parenthood listed as donors. That list, which was featured on Planned Parenthood’s website, has since been removed.”
Removing the list means the corporate donors who continue to support Planned Parenthood are now anonymous and will be able to carry on their support under the cover of covert secrecy.

“This latest development comes in the wake of two undercover videos that showed Planned Parenthood executives talking about the sale of fetal body parts. Planned Parenthood is facing both federal and state investigations—and the possibility of losing taxpayer funding. (Daily Signal)

If Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox did not agree to be corporate donors of the baby killing organization,  that means Planned Parenthood lied, and likely used that lie as a means to lure other businesses to their corporate sponsor list.

IRS back under fire on Tea Party targeting

A series of new revelations Wednesday and Thursday put the Internal Revenue Service back under fire for its alleged efforts to curtail the power of conservative nonprofits.
First, the Government Accountability Office uncovered evidence that holes in the tax agency's procedure for selecting nonprofit groups to be audited could allow bias to seep into the process.
Then, during a heated House Ways and Means Committee hearing Thursday morning, lawmakers exposed the lack of safeguards that could prevent IRS officials from going after groups with which they disagreed.
Meanwhile, the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch released documents Wednesday that suggested the IRS targeted the donors of certain tax-exempt organizations.
The controversies focused renewed scrutiny on the embattled agency, which has been fending off allegations of discrimination against conservatives since 2013.
"The burden of proof is on the IRS to show they are not targeting organizations," said Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., during the hearing Thursday.
She noted "up to 34 percent of cases selected for audit were dismissed without documentation," suggesting IRS officials could have given certain groups "preferential treatment" by declining to audit them.
"How do we know that those decisions weren't biased?" Noem asked the IRS commissioner, John Koskinen.
Rep. Peter Roskam, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee's oversight subcommittee, highlighted a finding in the GAO report that indicated one in four audits that were touched off by a complaint had no record of the original allegation on file.

SEMPER FI Act Introduced to Arm Military Recruiters

Shooting recruiting
President Barack Obama and his Pentagon bureaucrats may not want our military recruiters to be able to defend themselves, but many outraged people in Congress certainly do.
I just got this press release from the office of Senator Steve Daines, announcing the Securing Military Personnel Response Firearm Initiative (SEMPER FI) Act to arm recruiters before we suffer another mass attack on military facilities while Obama pretends that we don’t have a problem.
Daines, Hunter Introduce Bicameral Legislation to Allow Military to Carry at Recruitment Centers
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) and Representative Duncan Hunter (R-CA) today introduced legislation to allow military officers the ability to carry weapons at military recruitment centers.
The Securing Military Personnel Response Firearm Initiative (SEMPER FI) Act, which was introduced today in the Senate and the House, allows the military to authorize recruiters to be armed when they’re at recruitment centers or allows them to improve structural security at recruitment centers. The bill also limits the carrying of a sidearm to officers and non-commissioned officers.
In February 1992, the Department of Defense (DoD) issued Directive 5210.56, which stated that DoD policy was to “limit and control the carrying of firearms by DoD military and civilian personnel.”The DoD reissued the Directive in April 2011.
“The fastest way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. It’s time to allow our men and women in uniform – including our military recruiters – to have all the resources they need to protect and defend themselves,”Daines stated. “It’s unfortunate that it took a tragedy like what happened in Tennessee to wake us up to the fact that there needs to be a policy change, and that our military recruiters should be able to defend themselves while doing their job making sure that we maintain the most effective fighting force in the history of mankind. ”
“What happened in Tennessee is an absolute tragedy,” said Hunter, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the U.S. Marine Corps.  “All the talk about security upgrades to recruiting offices is fine, but the simple act of arming qualified personnel in these spaces presents the most effective line of defense.  It’s a reality of the post 9-11 world that terrorists and radicals will look to strike soft targets and we shouldn’t pretend that incidents similar to what happened in Tennessee couldn’t happen elsewhere.  Military recruiters embody the spirit, patriotism and values that not only make our military great, but our nation too.  They are targets, as are others in uniform, and they should be afforded the type of protection that is adequate for the threat they face.  We need to make it tough for anyone who might think of busting into a recruiting office with the intent to harm.  Any person or group of people who make that mistake should know that there are a few Marines, soldiers or other service members on the other side of that door who’ve heard the sound of gunfire, who’ve had all the right firearms experience and training, and who aren’t defenseless.” 
The SEMPER FI Act has garnered support from both the National Rifle Association and the Gun Owners of America.
There are several competing bills that are going to be hitting the floors in both the House and Senate, and the saddest thing is that it shouldn’t be needed.
U.S. military commanders have the authority to arm the troops if they see the need to do so, but they still refuse, for what appears to amount to butt-covering to protect their own careers in case a soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine negligently or criminally uses the use of the weapon they authorized.
It seems absurd that we have to give political cover (or directives) to military brass, but unfortunately, selfish careerism isn’t any more absent from the military than it is anywhere else.

[VIDEO] BALTIMORE: As the mayhem continues Man dies, 3 teens among 7 shot

BALTIMORE (WJZ) –A violent night on the streets of Baltimore, where police report a total of 7 people shot overnight, 1 fatally.
As WJZ’s Derek Valcourt explains the most startling of the crimes involved teenagers.
Thursday afternoon Baltimore Police announced the arrest of 25-year-old Keon White who they say shot three teens last night on the streets of Baltimore.
Just after 10 p.m. Wednesday, 911 calls poured in about a shooting in the 800 block of North Glover Street.
Responding officers found not one but three teens shot, including a 13-year-old boy shot in the chest, a 15-year-old boy shot int the chest and shoulder and a 16-year-old girl shot in the leg.
All of the teens were rushed to area hospital, where their injuries are being treated.
Interim Police Commissioner Kevin Davis personally responded to the crime scene.
“We don’t know what the motive was. We know it was an outdoor shooting scene and we know we have one shooter,” Davis said. “That’s the bad news. The good news is I’ve been out here for several minutes now, the community is stepping up. It’s certainly unacceptable for this community to see three teenagers being shot on a beautiful summer night like this and it’s my impression that they’ve had enough.”
Minutes after that shooting, three other men ranging in ages from 21 to 37 were shot in the 2000 block of North Forest Park Avenue. They are expected to survive.
Another man was shot and killed just after 11 p.m. on Clendenin Street.
Police are asking another with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1866 7 Lockup. You can remain anonymous and you may even earn some reward money.
In a press conference on Thursday Davis says they found the suspect shortly after finding his car.
“They pointed us in the direction of a particular house last night where we thought our shooter may have run into,” Davis said.  “That’s why you saw the swat team out there last night.  He wasn’t in there but we found him not too far away after we found his car.”
What’s so frustrating for community leaders here, is kids aren’t just the victims of some of these crimes, in some cases they’re actually responsible for violence.

In Heated Senate Hearing Kerry Portrayed as ‘Naïve,’ ‘Fleeced’ by the Iranians

(CNSNews.com) – U.S. senators opposed to the Iran nuclear agreement told Secretary of State John Kerry Thursday he had been “fleeced” and “bamboozled” by the Iranians.
Several said that while Iran was once isolated as an international “pariah” now the administration asserts that should Congress reject the deal, then it is the U.S. that will be the pariah.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), author of the legislation that provides for congressional review of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), set the tone in his opening remarks.
“From my perspective, Mr. Secretary, I’m sorry, not unlike a hotel guest who leaves only with a hotel bathrobe on his back, I believe you’ve been fleeced,” he told Kerry. “In the process of being fleeced, what you’ve really done here is you have turned Iran from being a pariah to now Congress being a pariah.”
Corker was referring to a recent spate of administration warnings that if Congress votes to reject the JCPOA, that will leave the U.S. internationally isolated, and could lead to war.
Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) said the administration’s “mantra” has changed from “no deal is better than a bad deal” to “you have to accept this or else it’s war.”
“We have gone from the position where we started, when we had Iran isolated, and they were viewed on the world stage as pariah,” he said. “If we don’t go along with this, we’re told, the other negotiators are going to go along with this, and the United States will be isolated on this issue, and we will be the pariah on the international stage.”
“All I can say is after reviewing this, even in a cursory fashion, anyone who believes this is a good deal really joins the ranks of the most naïve people on the face of the Earth,” Risch told Kerry.
Kerry pushed back, quoting from media articles quoting former Israeli Shin Bet intelligence agent chief Ami Ayalon as calling the JCPOA a useful measure to curb the Iranian threat.
“I don’t think he’s naïve,” declared Kerry, who appeared together with Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.
(The Times of Israel reported that Ayalon’s evaluation “runs counter to near unanimous criticism of the deal among mainstream Israeli officials, who fear it will fail to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.” It noted that Ayalon later become a lawmaker in the opposition Labor Party, whose current leader opposes the Iran deal.)
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) defended Kerry. If the U.S. had been “fleeced,” she said, then so too had other countries – “almost everybody in the world.”
She listed other countries involved in the negotiations – or members of the U.N. Security Council which on Monday passed a resolution endorsing the JCPOA – asking Kerry each time whether those countries supported the deal. They had, he replied.
“If you were bamboozled,” Boxer told Kerry, “the world has been bamboozled – that’s ridiculous. And it’s unfair and it’s wrong.”
“You can disagree, for sure, with aspects of this agreement,” she chided her colleagues. “but I think we need to stay away from that kind of rhetoric.”

Bowe Bergdahl surfaces at pot farm in California during a raid

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the Army sergeant who deserted from his unit, was captured by the Taliban, and was later exchanged for five terrorists? 

You would think the army would have Bergdahl in the slammer, awaiting trial for desertion.  But no.  Bowe was recently seen at an illegal pot farm in Northern California that authorities raided.

According to the initial report from The Anderson Valley Advertiser, Bergdahl was an “unexpected visitor” at the Mendocino County farm, which is approximately 120 miles up the coast from San Francisco. He had “no connection to the dope grow,” according to that report. 
Authorities from the county sheriff’s department confirmed to NBC Bay Area that Bergdahl did not face any charges and was not arrested during the raid. 
The initial report from the Advertiser said that military officials were notified, quoting county sheriff Tom Allman who said that Bergdahl was not involved in the growing of marijuana and was “above politeness,” showing his military ID as others in the house were being arrested. 
According to that report, he was escorted to Santa Rosa, California, by military personnel, to return to his duty station near Washington. The sheriff’s department confirmed that he was on authorized leave to visit friends.
A Rose Garden ceremony, celebrating his service as "honorable," and advancing the narrative that the five terrorists released in exchange for a deserter was a political masterstroke.  This is Bergdahl's legacy, and this is why it is extremely doubtful that he will see the inside of a court-martial proceeding until after President Obama leaves office.

The narrative being advanced now about Bergdahl is that he never should have been accepted in the military, but the U.S. Army was desperate for soldiers in 2007 when he enlisted:
While many soldiers in the U.S. military’s history have served long sentences for such crimes, many are highly dubious he will serve a life sentence. There is a sense that there is no interest in handing out a long sentence to a soldier who may not have passed muster had the nation not been so desperate for troops when he joined in 2007—the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

GOP Congressman: ‘Old Age or Disability Does Not Make Someone a Threat to Society’


CNSNews.com) – Speaking on the House floor on Wednesday, Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas) warned that President Barack Obama is trying to “deny millions of law-abiding Americans” the right to bear arms “by going through Social Security.”


“Mr. Speaker, President Obama is at it again. He’s now seeking to deny millions of law-abiding Americans their Second Amendment right to bear arms by going through Social Security, and why is that? Because he couldn’t get gun control through the Congress. The American people wouldn’t stand for it,” said Johnson.

“Mr. Speaker, old age or disability does not make someone a threat to society. These folks should be able to defend themselves just like everyone else,” Johnson said.



According to the LA Times, Obama is pushing to extend gun background checks to include “anyone who has been declared incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a fiduciary.”


“The push is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws regulating who gets reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, which is used to prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the country illegally and others,” the LA Times reported.



“As chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee and a staunch defender of the Second Amendment, I will do everything in my power to stop this gun grab. Yesterday, I ordered the commissioner of Social Security to stand down and abandon any such plan. Mark my words: Americans’ Second Amendment rights must and will be protected,” Johnson pledged.


In a letter to Social Security Acting Commissioner Carolyn Colvin, Johnson wrote, “The representative payee system is vital for beneficiaries who need assistance managing their own finances. Millions of responsible seniors and people with disabilities rely on a representative payee. Simply using this system does not mean beneficiaries are a risk to themselves or others.

“Providing information on individuals who have a representative payee to the NCIS is a broad overreach of authority and violates beneficiaries’ constitutional rights. This police runs counter to the aims of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – the 25th anniversary of which we will celebrate this week – and would stigmatize seniors and people with disabilities and isolate theme from society at large,” Johnson wrote.

The National Council on Disability wrote to Vice President Joe Biden on Jan. 11, 2013 expressing its opposition to such a policy, Johnson noted.

The National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) applauded Johnson’s efforts to stop Obama’s “gun grab.”

"If left to their own devices, President Obama’s Social Security Administration would be free to implement the largest gun grab in American history,” NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox said. “The NRA appreciates Chairman Johnson’s swift action to put a halt to this outrageous scheme that would deny millions of Americans a fundamental constitutional right because they need or want help managing their finances."

"The Obama administration will stop at nothing to strip as many people as possible of their Second Amendment rights,” Cox said. “The NRA will employ all means available to prevent the implementation of such a widespread injustice.”

REP. GOHMERT: ‘TRUMP HAS STRUCK A NERVE ACROSS AMERICA’

Representative 
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
94%
 shared in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News his experience meeting with family members of victims killed by illegal aliens.

The loved ones of the victims came to Washington, D.C. for a hearing on Kate’s Law and meetings with several legislators concerning the epidemic of illegal immigration into the United States.
Gohmert said that 2016 Presidential candidate Donald Trump has struck a nerve across America on the issue of illegal immigration, because he isn’t beholden to big business and special interests. Gohmert then cited Congressional efforts to bring financial repercussions on sanctuary cities for their blatant violation of federal law.
“I read about them (families whose loved ones have been killed by illegal aliens) in the news and I had also read they were coming up here to testify and the stories just break your heart. You don’t have to have had a child to understand how tragic these situations were and then the fact that they were completely avoidable makes them even more so.”
Gohmert took a group of about ten of these family members, some who came from as far as California, on a tour of the United States Capitol Tuesday evening. “I had first met them right after they testified before the Senate hearing and so we met and we had a visit outside and invited them inside the Capitol and we met, visited and talked and there were tears.”
Sabine Durden lost her only son Dominic Durden when an illegal alien hit the young 911 operator in a traffic collision. She told Breitbart News how appreciative she was of the Texas Congressman’s time and care for the families.
Gohmert said, “We talked and I heard from them on the different stories and what happened and how avoidable these were and that they could still have their child or family member here with them alive if we enforced our immigration laws.”
When asked if meeting the family members drove his conviction about the problem of illegal immigration, Gohmert said, “This reinforces the need to do something and reinvigorates me to make sure that we get something done so that we don’t have to keep meeting people who lose children, lose family members, lose spouses that are completely avoidable.” He said, “We just need to enforce immigration law.”
“This is something that every one of the family members of victims that I met and talked with, they’re affected every single day of their life. It’s just something that’s never far from their thoughts at all.”
Gohmert noted the need to enforce visa overstays and current immigration laws as well as securing the border. Border security is about 60 percent of the problem, Gohmert noted.
“If we just had an administration that enforced the law as it exists and that includes protecting the border, making sure that people don’t come in illegally,” he said it could take care of itself.
Referencing his experience as a judge, he noted the effect of deterrence by having something like Kate’s Law that is intended to put people in jail for coming back in after they are deported.
“Donald Trump has struck a nerve across America.”

New York Times Edits Clinton Email Story At Her Request

U.S. Democratic Presidential candidate and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks during the National Council of La Raza annual conference in Kansas City, Missouri July 13, 2015. REUTERS/Dave Kaup
The New York Times altered its story about two inspectors general calling for an investigation into whether Democratic Party front-runner Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information on her secret private email server.
The change to the lede paragraph came at the request of the Clinton campaign, Politico reports.
“It was a response to complaints we received from the Clinton camp that we thought were reasonable, and we made them,” Times reporter Michael Schmidt said, according to Politico.
The current version of the Times story starts:
WASHINGTON — Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state, senior government officials said Thursday.
But the original lede, as captured by NewsDiffs, which tracks changes to posted news stories, implicated Clinton as a target of the probe:
WASHINGTON — Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether Hillary Rodham Clinton mishandled sensitive government information on a private email account she used as secretary of state, senior government officials said Thursday.
The original version highlighted the accusation that Clinton was the reason for and subject of the call for a criminal investigation, that “Clinton mishandled” classified information. The edited version leaves the impression that the information may have been handled, but only “in connection” to Clinton’s actions.
This was discovered by the left-wing DailyKos Elections Twitter feed.
"Clinton mishandled" & "mishandled in connecttion" w/Clinton's email acct = huge, huge difference
