New video proves Gosnell not a ‘one-of-a-kind

 Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell has agreed to serve two life terms without parole after his conviction on Monday for killing babies born alive after abortions. Life Dynamics has released an interview of abortion clinic workers indicating late-term abortionists such as Gosnell aren't rare.

Life Dynamics founder Mark Crutcher has interviewed workers at another clinic - not Gosnell's. The women were not trained personnel but office clerks who assisted the as-yet-unidentified abortionist in the operating room.

One of three employees who were interviewed revealed how that abortionist would kill babies who were born alive. "When he did an abortion - especially an over-20-week abortion - most of the time the fetus would come completely out before he would either cut the spinal cord or he introduced one of the instruments into the soft spot," she said.

According to Crutcher, the graphic, 14-minute video reveals what the pro-life movement has been saying for years. (Caution: Video contains very graphic material)

"People need to understand, contrary to what the abortion lobby's out here saying and contrary to what their lackeys in the secular media are out here saying about this being an anomaly, a one-time kind of thing and Gosnell's the oddball and all that kind of stuff, it's not," says the pro-life activist. "Here's one right here and there are others out there, believe me."

In light of Gosnell's murder conviction, Crutcher believes other late-term abortion workers around the country will be contacting authorities too because they do not want to be criminally liable.

Ironic ... Gosnell 'chose life'

In a Tuesday afternoon interview with OneNewsNow, Troy Newman of Operation Rescue reacted to the news of Gosnell's sentencing. "Rather than appeal and draw this case out and then face the possibility of a death sentence hearing, he actually chose life and decided to go ahead and take the plea bargain of two life sentences without parole."

Newman is delighted that the 72-year-old Gosnell agreed to the sentence. "And so even for a convicted murderer like Gosnell, we pray that he would spend the rest of his life contemplating the deeds that he did and prayerfully repenting for these sins, these crimes against humanity," he offers.

Newman points out that God's grace is available to a murderer like Gosnell "if he chooses to receive that free gift."

Like Newman, Maria Gallagher of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation believes in redemption. "I would hope that Kermit Gosnell understands what he did to those babies, to those women, and to those families," she says. "And I hope that at some point he admits what he did ... and that he comes out strongly against legalized abortion because this is a horror in our midst."

A grand jury report that precipitated the Gosnell investigation claimed the abortionist had perhaps killed hundreds of babies in a similar fashion. That led to a shakeup in Pennsylvania's state health department.

Gallagher tells OneNewsNow the case led to a new clinic regulation and inspection law. "There are other states where that is not the case, so we need stricter scrutiny of abortion facilities, period," she adds. "We know that nail salons and hair salons have gotten more attention from authorities ... and this is just not right."

Hell Hath Frozen Over…MSNBC Turns on Obama…Calls Benghazi “Cover-Up”…Mentions Impeachment

Tim Brown
MSNBC has been one of the media lapdogs for the Obama administration. Far from being a news organization, it is a merely a mouth-piece for Socialists and the far Left and they have towed that line consistently. However, now even MSNBC is beginning to wake up on the issue of Benghazi and turn on their faux messiah, Barack Hussein Obama. MSNBC is now claiming that Benghazi was not only a terrible event, but it was a cover-up, that the administration lied, that people didn’t have to die, and (gasp) it may just be worthy of impeachment!

Notice how the comparison of Watergate comes up first thing and notice what is pointed out. “They didn’t kill people. They didn’t try to get their staff killed.”

It gets worse though. Here are some of the quotes that followed:

“They were trying to save face after something terrible had happened and try to prevent, what looks like the accurate perception that they had not been careful enough in Benghazi.”

“They had been sloppy about security and ignored warnings.”

They even say the State Department’s Victoria Nuland claims the leadership is worried about the way this points to Hillary Clinton and her deputies and the way the White House defers to them!

Ha! Well that tells us quite a bit doesn’t it? These people will be ready to throw Hillary under the bus, again. They’ve already done it once in the Benghazi scandal. Why not back the bus up over her again?

They even brought up the issue of Obama “sitting on” Benghazi for political reasons. One commentator said “Sure it becomes a political issue.” Only he didn’t mean just for 2012, but he said for 2014, 2016 and even impeachment.

Yep, we’re way ahead of you by like almost eight months, but hey, we’re glad to have them onboard now.

The moment the female commentator put her two cents worth in, it was all downhill. “I think for Clinton, it’s almost Clintonian,” she said, referring back to Clinton’s involvement in her philanderer husband’s criminal activity when he was president. I simply rolled my eyes at a comment that attempted to be substantive. However, it is clear that she has no love for the truth, but for the Left as she talked about the “Right” hating both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

They also went on to point out that this would be a first line of attack against Hillary should she not be in prison and run for the presidency in 2016.

What’s so disgusting about all of this is how people want to analyze this issue as “political.” My fellow Americans, this is not political. It’s criminal. I don’t know why in the United States we refer to immorality and criminal activity as “political issues.” They are not. Illegal immigration, abortion, homosexuality and yes the murder of four Americans in Benghazi and the subsequent cover-up is not political. It’s criminal.

One thing can be said for the blogging world and for activism. It works. If we are persistent, eventually we get the truth to come out. Now, we simply want justice.

IRS admits, apologizes for targeting right-wing groups in election run-up

hare o Officials from the US Internal Revenue Service apologized Friday after confessing that the agency had targeted conservative political groups, putting them under extra scrutiny during the months leading up to the 2012 presidential election.

Organizations that used words including “tea party” or “patriot” in their applications for tax-exempt status were flagged. Some were asked for their list of financial donors, a flagrant violation of IRS policy, Lois Lerner, an IRS division head, told the Associated Press.

“That was wrong. That was absolutely incorrect, it was insensitive and it was inappropriate,” she said. “That’s not how we go about selecting cases for further review. The IRS would like to apologize for that.”

Approximately 75 groups were targeted, although none had their tax-exempt status revoked, Lerner added. She reiterated that the scheme was started by low-level employees in Cincinnati, Ohio and that IRS higher-ups were not privy to what was happening at the time.

“They didn’t do it because of any political bias,” Lerner continued. “It was an error in judgment and it wasn’t appropriate but that’s what they did. We’ve now corrected these issues, and we don’t expect that any of these will be repeated going forward.”

Tea Party groups and similarly-minded activists who were outspoken in their disdain for US President Barack Obama complained of mistreatment from the IRS before the election, when political feelings are naturally heightened. Sal Russo, founder of the Tea Party Express political action committee, told ABC News that though his group was never harassed by the IRS, he did hear of government resistance to the tax exemption requests.

“On our bus tours the local Tea Party groups were all screaming about it,” Russo said. “It was so pronounced around the country that it was obvious the Tea Party groups were being targeted. Not unlike any bureaucracy, the first reaction is to deny everything even when they don’t know the facts.”

He added that he was “glad they finally acknowledged what was obvious to everyone else.”

Other leaders in the Tea Party, a right-wing anti-government faction created in 2009 in reaction to government relief for foreclosed-upon homeowners, were decidedly less forgiving.

“It is suspicious that the activity of these ‘low-level workers’ was unknown to IRS leadership at the time it occurred,” Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots, which bills itself as the biggest Tea Party group in the US, told ABC. “President Obama must also apologize for his administration ignoring repeated complaints by these broad grassroots organizations of harassment by the IRS in 2012, and make concrete and transparent steps today to ensure this never happens again.”

One coincidence that’s fueled conspiracy theories is the IRS’ responsibility to enforce Obama’s health care law, which critics have cited as prime evidence of governmental overreach. Jay Sekulow, an outspoken conservative lawyer, equated the wrongdoings by the IRS to government censorship during the American Civil Rights movement when he spoke to The New York Times in 2011.

“This is obviously a coordinated effort by the IRS to stifle these Tea Party and Tea Party-affiliated groups, and to stifle free speech activities,” he said.

Rand Paul alleges CIA smuggled weapons through Benghazi

Amid intensifying rumors that he’s considering a run for president, United States Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has come down hard on the White House over last year’s tragedy at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Amid intensifying rumors that he’s considering a run for president, United States Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has come down hard on the White House over last year’s tragedy at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

On Wednesday a Congressional committee heard testimonies from witnesses of the September 11, 2012 attack, but eight months after the fact many questions still remain unanswered.  Sen. Paul weighed in on the event as well this week, but in doing so challenged the administration of US President Barack Obama and particularly Hillary Clinton, the former Department of State secretary at the helm of the agency at the time of the attack and another rumored candidate in the 2016 election.

In an interview aired on CNN Thursday evening, Sen. Paul said he hasn’t ruled out the possibility that last year’s attack unfolded as a result of a secret arms trade. The confusion in the immediate aftermath of the event — including unfounded admissions from America’s United Nations envoy Susan Rice that contradicted what is known today about the attack — could actually be a cover-up, the senator said.

“I never have quite understood the cover-up — if it was intentional or incompetence,” he told host Erin Burnett. “But something went on. I mean, they had talking points that they were trying to make it out to be a movie when everybody seemed to be on the ground telling them it had nothing to do a movie. I don’t know if this was for political reasons.”

In the wake of the attack, then-UN ambassador Susan Rice said the storming of the consulate resulted after an anti-Islamic video produced in the US ended up on YouTube. The government has since admitted her statement was false, but conflicting reports among Washington’s elite has led in part to Paul’s questioning of the incident.

“I’ve actually always suspected that, although I have no evidence, that maybe we were facilitating arms leaving Libya going through Turkey into Syria,” he said.

“Were they trying to obscure that there was an arms operation going on at the CIA annex?” Paul asked. “I’m not sure exactly what was going on, but I think questions ought to be asked and answered, and I’m a little curious when employees of the State Department are told by government officials they shouldn’t testify and then they are sort of sequestered and kept away from testimony, so I think there may be more to this.”

This is not the first time either that Senator Paul raised questions about possible arms supplies under the CIA umbrella. During her testimony in the Senate, Rand Paul asked then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton whether the spy agency was sending weapons from Benghazi into other countries. Clinton replied that he would have to ask CIA officials about it. 

On Friday morning, Paul scolded the former State Department secretary in a Washington Times op-ed and said Clinton “should never hold high office again.”

“My office is currently seeking out the witnesses and survivors of Benghazi to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. To date, the Obama administration has refused to let them testify. Too many questions remain unanswered. Now, there are too many new questions,” Paul wrote. “The evidence we had in January already suggested that Mrs. Clinton ignored repeated requests for more security in Benghazi. The new evidence we have today  – and that continues to mount  – suggests that at the very least, Mrs. Clinton should never hold high office again.”

Paul said during a Thursday radio interview that he’s “considering” a run for president in 2016. A Quinnipiac University poll published earlier the week found that Clinton would dominate the Democratic race, winning perhaps 65 percent of the party’s vote if she decides to run.

Boston police spied on TEA Party and Occupy protesters instead of investigating Tsarnaevs

Authorities in Massachusetts were never told the Russian government warned the United States of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, but investigators were largely preoccupied with another problem at the time: protesters.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation opened a probe into Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago on the recommendation of Moscow, but closed their case without concluding he posed any threat — and without warning officials local to Boston that a suspected radical extremist was residing in their town. On the other hand, evidence has proved that a Boston police counterterror intelligence unit spent a significant amount of time and money in 2011 using a US Department of Homeland Security-funded fusion center to spy on and monitor protest groups, the Tea Party Movement and including Occupy Wall Street anti-war demonstrators.

On Thursday, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis admitted to a congressional panel that federal agents failed to warn his department of Tsarnaev, an ethnic Chechen who died last month during a firefight with police. Investigators believe he orchestrated a terror plot during the April 15 race with the help of his brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who has since been apprehended, charged and confined to a federal facility.

Hours after Davis told lawmakers “we would have liked to know” about the Russian tip-off, NBC News national investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff accused the FBI and DHS for failing to do their job, all the while concentrating their resources on a campaign to investigate peaceful demonstrators.

Last October, the American Civil Liberties Union in Massachusetts published a trove of documents confirming that the Boston Police Department spied on protesters and even relied on their local federally-funded fusion centers to further their probe.

“[O]fficers assigned to the Boston Regional Intelligence Center [BRIC] at the Boston Police Department are collecting and keeping information about constitutionally protected speech and political activity,” the ACLU announced at the time.

“What’s happening in this city is really disturbing, and if you talk to activists who have been out on the streets protesting war for 10 years, protesting on behalf of immigrants’ rights or workers’ rights, they will tell you that this is not a surprise,” Kade Crockford of the ACLU told RT then. “The Boston Police Department has clearly been monitoring political speech for some time in this city.”

This week, Isikoff calls into question why that conduct was approved of but an investigation into Tsarnaev was not.

“The police monitoring of the activities of Tea Party and Occupy Boston -- an off-shoot of the Occupy Wall Street protests that swept the country in 2011 -- came during a period after the U.S. government received the second of two warnings from the Russian government about the radical Islamic ties of alleged Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev,” he wrote.

In fact, Isikoff goes on to note that Boston police actually investigated protesters — not potential terrorists — hours after US intelligence was warned of Tsarnaev for a second time.

“The internal police documents about the activities of the BRIC show that on Sept. 30, 2011 — just two days after the second Russian warning about Tsarnaev was sent to the CIA — the Boston police unit was focused on an upcoming ‘Take Back Boston Rally’ planned for the city’s Dewey Square,” he wrote.

In the wake of last month’s tragedy, lawmakers across the country have requested more counterterrorism resources, particularly surveillance cameras, in hopes of deterring future attacks. Those tools were already plentiful and available to law enforcement, though, and have been since the DHS began erecting fusion centers during the George W. Bush presidency.

Days after the marathon, the president of the National Fusion Center Association Mike Pena began a statement to the media writing, “I want to tell the nation about the hard work that our fusion centers do every day to protect citizens across the United States.”

The BRIC facility in Massachusetts, Pena said, was “doing everything possible to support the analysis and processing of information related to the investigation.” If they had acted earlier on Russia’s warning, though — and not targeted protesters — the bombing might not have even happened. Instead, wrote Isikoff, US homeland security grants were being used to monitor protesters, “including tracking the Facebook pages and websites of the protesters and writing reports on the potential impact on ‘commercial and financial sector assets’ in downtown areas.”

Previously, Massachusetts State Police spokesperson David Procopio told the Boston Globe that his agency — which oversees the BRIC — was left in the dark when Russia warned of Tsarnaev.

“We were not privy to the tip,’’ he admitted. “They didn’t share that information with us.”

“Without that information, the Fusion Center was never in a position to help federal authorities connect the dots on a potentially dangerous person,” explained the Globe.

Days before the ACLU published their filings last October, a Senate subcommittee published a 141-page report on fusion centers that made a case for shutting down the facilities and saving an estimated $1.4 billion.

“The Subcommittee’s investigation could not verify that the statutory basis for DHS’ involvement in fusion centers – to strengthen federal counterterrorism efforts – was reflected in the department’s efforts. Congress should require DHS to conform its efforts to match its counterterrorism statutory purpose, or redefine DHS’ fusion center mission,” the committee wrote. Elsewhere, lawmakers said the only thing fusion centers seemed to do right as collect “a bunch of crap.”

THE GUN GRABERS WILL RUN WILD WITH THIS - 12 shot, including 10yo child during Mother’s Day parade in New Orleans

Twelve people are being treated for gunshot wounds following a shootout at a second line parade on Mother’s Day in New Orleans. The youngest victim in the surprise attack was 10 years old, according to a local resident.

Over 300 people were participating in the residential festival, on Frenchmen Street, in the east of the city, when several shots were fired. The incident occurred around 2pm local time on Sunday.

Nine people were immediately taken to University Hospital by emergency responders, eight of whom had gunshot wounds, according to local channel WWLTV. One more was injured in an attempt to escape from the shooting.

No fatalities have been confirmed, but four are in a critical condition.

Police confirmed the number of casualties stood at 12 following some discrepancies in initial hospital  reports, suggesting that between five and 11 may have been injured.

Police believe three suspects were responsible for the gunfire, who were seen fleeing towards Claiborne Avenue. A door-to-door search is being conducted in the hopes of tracing one or more of them.

In the same way investigators of the Boston Marathon Bombings appealed for crowdsourced photographs, police have urged anyone with any photographs of the parade to step forward.

“The shots just started ringing out, and everybody just started running, and the next thing I heard, 10-15 people got shot,” one witness told local station WDSU.

A week ago, police were also called out to investigate a triple shooting near the corner of Frenchman street.

Police and local media had appealed for anyone with information on the incident to contact crime stoppers in the hope of tracing the gunman, or gunmen.

Biden Tells Pastors And Nuns To Preach Sermons Gun Control Is Moral

AUTHOR Bookworm

The First Amendment promises religions that they’ll be free from government coercion and interference in their faiths. That hasn’t stopped Vice President Joe Biden, though, from offering advice to representatives of America’s major (and minor faiths), telling them what they should teach and preach to their parishioners. According to Joe, it’s their moral responsibility to support gun control.

On Monday, Biden had a two-and-a-half hour long meeting with leaders from various religious communities, including Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Sikhs. All of them were enthusiastically pro-gun control which meant that Chief Pastor Biden was already speaking to the faithful.

Four participants spoke to AP after the meeting. According to them, Biden acknowledged that gun control would have to be set aside until the immigration debate had wrapped up. Only then would there be a chance “to refocus on this [gun control].”

Meeting attendees also said that, even though Harry Reid couldn’t even rally his Democrat majority in the Senate, and even though over 90% of Americans couldn’t care less about the gun control issue, Biden is absolutely certain that gun grabbing is alive and will be successful. He told the group that he continues to meet with gun crime victims and law enforcement to create a new wave of enthusiasm and proposed legislation covering the same old topics all in an effort to reduce gun violence.

Interestingly, Biden appears to have cut law-abiding gun owners entirely out of a “national debate” that will affect them quite directly. Biden also seems unaware that the President’s own Justice Department, relying on numbers from its own Bureau of Statistics has published a report that reveals the single biggest way to reduce gun violence: have more law-abiding citizens own guns. Funnily enough, when you shift the balance so that the good guys are better armed than the bad guys, the bad guys slink away.

Joe’s optimism couldn’t hide the fact that meeting attendees weren’t quite as cheerful as he was. Even though Biden thought that those Senators who wouldn’t join Reid on background checkswere going to be picked off in the next round of elections, some of the participants questioned the likelihood of prevailing in the future.

The attendees also weren’t impressed by the administration’s claim that gun control has strong support (perhaps because the claim is false).  Some were even worried that background checks could lead to a national gun registry or that mental health provisions could be abused. (If they’d read Mr. Conservative, they would know that mental health provisions are already being abused, with psychiatrists getting paid bounties to help grab guns from veterans.)

Near the end of the meeting, Biden told the gathered faithful that the NRA and other Second Amendment groups are lying, and that it was up to the religious representatives to counter those lies. (We wonder whether Biden is planning to assert that the Department of Justice report is also a lie.) Biden wrapped up the report by advising the assembled religious representatives that it was their religious responsibility to tell their parishioners that gun control is a moral duty.

We have just a few words for Vice President Biden:

First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The oath of office that Vice President Biden has taken as both a Senator and as Vice President:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
