Red Rose Rescues

2020_05 17 Red Rose

On Thursday, four pro-life advocates were arrested at two different, late-term abortion clinics in Washington, D.C.

Two of those arrested were Catholic priests.

The individuals were part of a Red Rose Rescue, a peaceful outreach in which pro-life advocates provide roses, pregnancy resource information and encouragement to mothers inside and outside abortion facilities.

Some rescuers go into the abortion facilities to speak with the mothers and pray, knowing that they will be arrested for trespassing.

One of the incidents occurred at Capital Women’s Services, which advertises abortions up to 36 weeks on its website.

Pro-life sidewalk counselors outside said they saw a woman leave the facility with a rose and information about pregnancy resource centers, so one life may have been saved by their efforts.

Interestingly, a pro-life sidewalk counselor also said one of the police officers refused to participate in the priest’s arrest.

The officer told pro-lifers that he is a member of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic pro-life organization.

The other incident took place at the Washington Surgi-Center.

This facility’s late-term abortionist, Cesare F. Santangelo. has been accused of negligence in the death of an abortion patient.

Just a day earlier, six more pro-lifers were arrested while trying to save unborn babies at another Red Rose Rescue in Michigan.

At least two women did not go through with their abortions at the Baton Rouge abortion facility because of their outreach.

Both Michigan and Washington, D.C. have allowed abortion facilities to continue killing unborn babies during the coronavirus crisis.

Meanwhile, life-saving medical procedures are being postponed

The Red Rose Rescues do not involve the blockading of clinic entrances or abortion procedure rooms.

When police officers arrive on the scene, pro-lifers attempt to continue conversation with women or sit on the pavement praying quietly or singing hymns until they are placed under arrest.

HOUSE COVID AID BILLNancy Pelosi’s House approved a $3 trillion coronavirus bill, the most expensive bill in Congressional history, in a 208-199 vote.

Peter King was the only Republican to support the bill. Fourteen Democrats broke from their party and voted no.

The bill is predictably jam-packed with Democrap, like direct payments to illegals. Thankfully, its chances are slim to none in the Senate and Trump has vowed to veto it. Continue reading

New York’s Nursing Home Fiasco

I’m so angry about this, I can hardly see straight.

2020_05 16 new york

We’ve known from the start of the pandemic that nursing homes and long-term care facilities housed the most at-risk demographic in the most at-risk environment. I.e., people who are old and/or suffering from co-morbid conditions that make the virus especially deadly, who live indoors where the virus is much more contagious, and who share staff in close quarters where social distancing is impossible.

Yet on March 25, the “progressive, caring” Democrats who run Deep Blue New York decided that these facilities HAD to accept COVID-19 positive patients. If they refused, they would lose their state funding.

Call me cynical, but I have zero … ZERO … trouble believing that the motivation behind this evil regulation was to reduce the number of expensive old people who are too gaga to vote Democrat. I even have two pieces of solid evidence.

One: A virus-free nursing home in Queens was forced to take 2 infected patients. These individuals arrived with boxes of PPEs … and a box of 5 body bags! Within days, they had dead bodies to put in the bags. Each week thereafter, another box of 5 body bags arrived. They didn’t order them, but they did end up needing them, since more than 30 of their residents caught the virus and died. Continue reading

OBAMAGATE: [8:20] – Senior Obama officials asked to eavesdrop on senior Trump adviser Michael Flynn, then one or more of them leaked the contents to the media. They had no business doing either of those things.

Bongino Unmasks the Unmasking Scandal

The Dan Bongino Show: Ep. 1250 This Is Just The Beginning of the Spying Scandal [1:08:15] – Dan talks about what unmasking is, why it matters, how they get a hold of people’s phone calls, why this is so bad, and why hacks in the Slime Stream Media are gas-lighting.

6 minutes: Reverse targeting (using unmasking to listen in on an American citizen) is against the law and it is what was done to Michael Flynn.

9 minutes: Between November 2016 when Trump won the election and January 2017 when he took office, sixteen high level Obama administration officials requested FISA wire tap unmasking of Michael Flynn, who was on Trump’s transition team and was slated to become his National Security Adviser.

12 minutes: On January 4, 2017, the FBI was trying to close the case on Michael Flynn, because they had found “no derogatory information” about him and that “no other investigative methods are warranted.”

  • Why was Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power getting transcripts of Flynn’s phone calls with foreign leaders on Jan. 11?
  • Why did VP Biden submit an unmasking request on January 12, 2017?
  • And who ILLEGALLY leaked classified details to the Washington Post (story published January 12, 2017) from Flynn’s calls with the Russian ambassador?!

14 minutes: The media’s talking point is, “Maybe it was Biden’s office, not Biden himself.” So the man you think should be the next president is so incompetent that his staff spied on an American citizen with no legal justification and he didn’t know a thing about it? Riiiiight. Continue reading

Flynn Update

2020_05 15 Flynn domestic knife

The DOJ dropped its case against retired General Michael Flynn … but it seems that Judge Emmet Sullivan is not ready to let go. Rather than simply dismissing the case, as everyone expected him to do, he has invited outside parties to present arguments about the government’s request to dismiss the case.

In trial court proceedings involving crimes, only prosecutors and defense attorneys are permitted to be heard. Judges are supposed to render decisions based on evidence and arguments presented by the parties involved, not outside interests.

Previously in the same case, Judge Sullivan nixed the filing of amicus briefs when he knew third parties would have spoken favorably of Flynn. He said then that “[o]ptions exist for a private citizen to express his views about matters of public interest, but the Court’s docket is not an available option.”

Now he is not only allowing, but actually soliciting briefs that will be critical of Flynn. “This is a violation of the judicial oath and applicable ethical rules. We will be filing a complaint against Sullivan. … [He] is acting as a politician, not a judge.” – Michael Cernovich

ObamaGate

It’s a huge scandal, not a conspiracy theory.

2020_05 15 unmasked

This week, an article in The Federalist said, “A string of recently released documents have confirmed that the entire Russia-Trump investigation, which eventually entrapped Flynn and forced then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself, was an unprecedented abuse of power that amounted to organized effort by the Obama administration to nullify the results of the 2016 presidential election. It was in effect an attempted coup.

If you haven’t picked that up from the news media, it’s not your fault. Instead of grappling with the implications of newly released details about what Obama officials were doing to undermine the incoming Trump administration during the transition, the mainstream media have fixated on Trump’s use of the term Obamagate, dismissing it as a conspiracy theory.” – John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist, May 13, 2020 [Emphasis mine.] Continue reading

Things like wearing a mask when I leave the house or open the mail are very old hat for me. Maybe it’s knowing there would be no place to go even if I was having one of my rare good days.

Who wrote the dossier?

We now know that …

  1. Mark Elias (counsel to both the Clinton campaign and to the DNC and a partner at Perkins Coie law firm) hired Fusion GPS to do opposition research on Donald Trump;
  2. Fusion GPS was paid 50/50 by the campaign and the DNC for this service; and
  3. Fusion GPS produced the so-called Trump-Russia (aka, Steele) dossier that was used by corrupt anti-Trumpers at the DOJ and FBI to try to sabotage Trump’s campaign and then, after he won, to try to take down his presidency.

All along, we’ve been told that a retired British spy, Christopher Steele, compiled the dossier from sources he had in Russia.

We now know that is not true. We also know that the sources cited, though real Russians, were just put in the dossier to lend legitimacy to the contents. They say they had nothing to do with any of it.

So who did write the dossier? And where did the information come from?

According to an article by Lee Smith that was published in Tablet on December 20, 2017, the true authors were Mary Jacoby and Glenn Simpson. Continue reading

Who commissioned the Trump-Russia dossier?

2020_05 14 podesta clinton

In October of 2017, both the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) claimed to be unaware that their law firm, Perkins Coie, was connected to the Trump-Russia dossier.

One of the recently declassified House Intelligence Committee transcripts shows that was not true.

On December 4, 2017, John Podesta, who had been the head of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, testified under oath before the House Intelligence Committee. During the interview, Podesta said:

  1. Mark Elias made the decision to hire Fusion GPS. Elias was counsel to both the Clinton campaign and to the DNC. He is a partner at Perkins Coie.
  2. The Clinton campaign’s manager, Robby Mook, would have been the one who gave Elias the authority to do so.
  3. The Fusion GPS’ bill was split 50/50 between the campaign and the DNC.

This is critical information, because the Trump-Steele dossier was the central and perhaps sole excuse that corrupt individuals in the FBI used to justify their multiple FISA warrants to spy (allegedly) on Carter Page.

In all likelihood, the point of these warrants was to allow Obama’s and Hillary’s people to spy first on the Trump campaign and later on the Trump White House.
