Alberta as our 51st state is not as far-fetched as it sounds at first blush. The idea was written about by Peter Zeihan in Accidental Superpower (2014) and recently broached by Holman Jenkins, Jr. in no less than the Wall Street Journal. Before diving into the politics and practicality of a Alberta leaving Canada, let’s first review some background to see why such a traumatic event could even be considered.

Blue State Blues: Nancy Pelosi Must Remove Ilhan Omar From the House Foreign Affairs Committee
Democrats are reluctant to criticize Omar and Tlaib because of the growing importance of Muslim voters to the Democratic coalition.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has spent two weeks proving that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made a big mistake promoting her to the House Foreign Affairs Committee — an error that is hurting her party and the country.
In the past several days, Omar has:
- Failed to apologize for an antisemitic tweet that, she says, she now realizes is “offensive,” but refuses to delete;
- Mocked the idea that Israel is a democracy, comparing it to Iran and saying it should not be accepted as a “Jewish state” — then doubled down; and
- Justified writing a letter to a judge in 2016 asking for a lenient sentence for nine Somali-Americans who were convicted of trying to join the so-called “Islamic State,” or ISIS. […]
But it was Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who effectively endorsed Omar’s views when she elevated Omar to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where she will be able to carry out her anti-Israel policies.
When Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), the new ranking member on the committee, objected to Pelosi appointing Omar to the committee, Omar accused him of Islamophobia:

Communism Making Comeback as Globalism
by Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh
It is with sadness, agony, and dread that I see daily evidence of Western democracies turning to Communism
The dangerous cult of personality which mesmerized an entire nation into submission to a magical black president now includes Millennials like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), who, despite her International Relations degree, is, by her own admission, totally ignorant of world politics, and two Muslim women who took their oath on a book that contradicts everything our Constitution stands for and are flinging vulgarities and anti-Israel /anti-American insults to the American public.
The same MSM that gives them ample air time to insult anyone who disagrees with them, was mostly silent when three new Congressmen, real American heroes and Purple Heart recipients, were sworn in, the “5 eyes, 5 arms, 4 legs … All American” as Rep. Mast said. Jim Baird (R-Indiana) lost his left arm in Vietnam. Brian Mast (R-Florida) lost both legs in Afghanistan. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) lost his right eye in Afghanistan. Nobody saw them on the evening news but air time was extended ad nauseam to the “new breed of women politicians” who offends us with overt anti-Americanism.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s strong and strange socialist charisma appeals to a large segment of the American population, liberals and Democrats alike, who have made a cult hero out of a former bartender.
Maduro of Venezuela was a taxi driver before he became president. He appealed to low-information voters who have now managed to self-destruct under the leadership or lack thereof of a socialist, long on rhetoric, and short on the knowledge how to successfully lead a country rich in petroleum, a formerly prosperous nation, now a basket case of poverty, rationing, and hunger. He drove it into the ground, turning it into the hell-hole of socialism that it is today.
The Cuban model, the Castro brothers communist dictatorship, ended in disaster in Venezuela just as it did everywhere else socialism/communism had been tried.
Should she be ignored in hope that she goes away back to the obscurity she came from? Liberals are already talking of making her president. People with real skill, intellect, sound judgment, and logical arguments must speak out with intelligence and force. But when they do, would anybody listen?
I am not at all surprised that young and old Americans alike are suddenly infatuated with the empty promises of socialism and communism and do not listen to reason. Decades of socialist indoctrination in public schools and progressive MSM are finally paying off for Democrats and their globalist fellow travelers.

Floor Lamp Sparks Privacy Concerns
Lamp can discretely record room in full HD
A new floor lamp by Panasonic has sparked privacy concerns due to its ‘secret’ security camera which can record a room discretely.
The HomeHawk FLOOR lamp has a small camera with numerous features: a 140-degree wide-angle lens, full HD and night recording modes, motion sensor technology and the ability to remotely view footage in live time through a mobile app.
Panasonic is marketing the floor lamp as a home monitoring camera.
The floor lamp currently doesn’t support cloud storage, meaning that footage is saved to a MicroSD card, but that hasn’t dampened fears from an online tech magazine that the lamp could be abused as a spy camera in addition to its use as a home security system.

GM Sought to Outsource 2.8K U.S. Jobs to Foreigners While Laying Off Americans
Multinational corporation General Motors (GM) sought to import nearly 2,800 foreign workers in the last three years to take U.S. jobs while laying off American workers.
GM will be laying off at least 4,250 of its white-collar workers in Canada and America — with the vast majority in the U.S. — starting next week.
The layoffs are just a small component of the corporation’s mass layoff scheme of 14,700 workers in North America — including at least 3,300 American factory workers. Meanwhile, GM is ramping up production of electric cars in China.
In 2019, GM expects to stop production at four American plants, including Detroit-Hamtramck and Warren Transmission in Michigan, Lordstown Assembly in Ohio, and Baltimore Operations in Maryland. This comes after GM laid off about 1,500 American workers in Lordstown in 2018, while their Mexico production remained unaffected.
At the same time GM has been laying off American workers, the corporation has been importing foreign workers from countries like India, China, Brazil, and South Korea…
Every year, more than 100,000 foreign workers are brought to the U.S. on the H-1B visa and are allowed to stay for up to six years. There are about 650,000 H-1B visa foreign workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off in the process and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News. More than 85,000 Americans annually potentially lose their jobs to foreign labor through the H-1B visa program.

How to Destroy the Bill of Rights: Start With the 9th and 10th Amendments
Are you worried about the Democrats’ plans for the First and Second Amendments? You are right to be concerned. The leftists who have taken over and transformed that political party have made it clear that they intend to eliminate those two fundamental protections of American liberty. Freedom of speech and “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms” are in their crosshairs — along with the Electoral College and much else besides — and they mean business.
But have you noticed what has already happened to amendments farther down the list that makes up the Bill of Rights? The Ninth and Tenth are already dead letters. Here is the Ninth:
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
And here is the Tenth:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The Ninth and the Tenth Amendments, the final two of the Bill of Rights, are best considered as a complementary pair, each reinforcing the other. Together they make clear the Founders’ intent. The Ninth says our rights are not limited to the enumerated rights. The Tenth says the powers of the federal government are limited to the enumerated powers. Here is the vision of the Founding stated in fewer than fifty words: a federal government of strictly limited powers and a people guaranteed vast liberty and consequently unbounded opportunity.
To point out that the central government we now live under, the Beltway Leviathan, is no longer a federal government of strictly limited powers is only to state the all too obvious.

NewsGuard is now automatically included in Microsoft’s Edge browser on iOS, Android and Microsoft phones. Microsoft’s press release regarding the partnership states that NewsGuard “will empower voters by providing them with high-quality information about the integrity and transparency of online news sites.” Just one problem, who is providing transparency about the news rating agency?

There is just one problem: the plugin is only blacklisting certain sites and does not actually have fact checkers looking into the story in question. So, in fact, the service is censoring alternative and independent media. But, let’s be honest, that’s exactly what its founders, creators, funders, and advisors want.

Northam Denies Being in Racist Yearbook Photo, Says He Will Not be Resigning as Governor
RICHMOND, Va. (FOX 5 DC) — Resisting widespread calls for his resignation, Virginia’s embattled governor on Saturday vowed to remain in office after disavowing a blatantly racist photograph that appeared under his name in his 1984 medical school yearbook.
In a tumultuous 24 hours, Gov. Ralph Northam posted a video on Twitter on Friday apologizing for the photograph that featured what appeared to be a man in blackface and a second person cloaked in Klu Klux Klan garb. He said that he could not “undo the harm my behavior caused then and today.”
But by Saturday, he said he was not in the photo and had apologized a day earlier for “content” that was on his profile page in the yearbook. The governor said he had not seen the photo before Friday, since he had not purchased the commemorative book or been involved in its preparation more than three decades ago.

I was told I was uh, under arrest. No one read me my rights, I might add.” No one read Stone his rights?
Stone relayed one of the more frightening moments of the pre-dawn raid for him and his wife: “I was afraid that they would go upstairs, think my wife was not complying with to an order that she could not hear, and shoot her.” Napolitano asked, “Did they take your wife out of the house, Roger?” Stone told the judge that they did bring his “barefoot” wife outside and made her stand next to him, even though she wasn’t guilty of anything.

The Corrupt DOJ vs. The People
A former federal prosecutor by the name of Sidney Powell has blown the whistle. If you watched the January 27th episode of “Life, Liberty and Levin” on the Fox channel, you heard Ms. Powell dispel the illusion that our justice system is fair and impartial.
Powell, author of Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice, described a system consisting of out-of-control prosecutors who will do anything to get a conviction. She accused the Justice Department of a broad range of offenses. Some of those include:
- False charges brought by overzealous prosecutor Andrew Weissmann (Robert Mueller’s right-hand man) in the case against leading accounting firm Arthur Andersen. Although the conviction was subsequently reversed unanimously by the Supreme Court, Andersen was completely destroyed, its 85,000 employees lost their jobs, and the assets of untold investors were wiped out. Weissmann was promoted by the DoJ.
- Destruction of the lives of four Merrill Lynch executives. Before they could appeal their fake convictions, they were sent to prison with the toughest criminals in the country. “They did the worst things they could possibly do to these men,” says Powell. The defendants were eventually exonerated on appeal, but it was only after one of them served eight months in solitary confinement.
- Frequent failure by the DoJ to disclose evidence favorable to defendants as required by law.
- Using the phony Steele dossier, the DoJ and FBI unlawfully obtained FISA warrants for the surveillance of the Trump election campaign. The dossier was then used to justify creation of a special counsel to investigate alleged Trump-Russia collusion. After two years, that investigation is nothing more than a witch-hunt against Trump supporters.
- Leaking at the top levels of the FBI and DoJ in the midst of criminal investigations.
- Unwillingness of federal judges to discipline the DoJ for its transgressions.
As Mark Levin has suggested, the Deep State — led by Obama holdovers in the justice system — is using the Mueller investigation as a “silent coup” to unseat President Trump. “Neither Mr. Mueller nor Andrew Weissmann are interested in the truth whatsoever,” says Powell. “They’re only interested in whatever they can generate to create a criminal offense” against associates of the president. The special counsel’s attempt to invalidate a legitimate presidential election is an example of the weaponization of the DoJ in service of political objectives.

The Democrats’ Stealth Jihad Against America
For decades, the Democrat Party has shown by both words and deeds that they despise the U.S. Constitution while they bend over backwards to embrace Islamists, illegal aliens and anyone who hates America. The left is only interested in power and nothing else. Even if it means to sacrifice our national security and advocate open borders.
The liaison between American Muslims and the Democrat Party is frequently described as a marriage of convenience where Muslims will ally with leftist politicians, who will gladly cede some of their power to this group of enforcers so conservative politicians and Christians who advocate self-defense and sane social policies are kept out of office.
While America is in hibernation, Muslim organizations with the help of Democrats have been busy and work “stealthily” to change America in what is called “Soft Jihad,” in the United States. Soft Jihad is practiced where the sword of jihad is not advisable, where Muslims are not strong enough to unsheathe their sword, where the true nature of Islam is exposed and when the public would likely stamp them out. A critical tool of soft jihad, involves penetration of the American educational system, such as Da’wa, the religious duty of each Muslim to convert non-Muslims and strengthen the Islamic Ummah.
America is on a precarious path to lose its freedom and American values we have cherished for over 200 years. We must accept that the current Democrat Party is no longer the Party of Kennedy. It has become the greatest threat to our national security and our survival as a nation.

The Ruling Class & an Undeclared Civil War
The eight years of the Obama administration rudely awakened a sleeping populace. Many of whom, also benefiting from the overwhelming economic growth and absence of national adversity over the past half-century, had consciously chosen to ignore what was happening to the culture and future well-being of the country. Thus, the election of Donald Trump was in essence the revenge of the lower classes for not only the overbearing and condescending attitude of the elites but their ongoing success in transforming American society and culture.
Faced with the exposure of their agenda and the real prospect of losing their status and influence, the disdain toward the lower classes, which had always bubbled beneath the surface, burst forth in a volcanic eruption of uncontrolled vitriol, anger and absurdity.
The denizens of the ruling class unleashed their out of control foot soldiers on the citizenry, employing the tactics and weapons previously aimed at their political enemies. Today vast swaths of the American populace, whether they voted for Trump or not, are indiscriminately accused of being racists, misogynists, white supremacists, ignoramuses, religious zealots, xenophobes and malcontents.

by Servando Gonzalez
But some people knew of Lenin’s activities and his true masters. In a speech to the House of Commons on November 5, 1919, Winston Churchill exposed in a few words the whole conspiracy:
“. . . Lenin was sent into Russia . . . in the same way that you might send a vial containing a culture of typhoid or of cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy. No sooner did Lenin arrive than he began beckoning a finger here and a finger there to obscure persons in sheltered retreats in New York, Glasgow, in Bern and other countries, and he gathered together the leading spirits of a formidable sect, the most formidable sect in the world . . . With these spirits around him he set to work with demoniacal ability to tear to pieces every institution on which the Russian State depended.”
What Churchill failed to mention, though, was that the ones who had disseminated the Communist plague were bankers from England, Europe and the U.S., among them the Rothschilds, Sir George Buchanan and Lord Alfred Milner (members of the Round Table, who had been instrumental in the creation of the CFR), the Warburgs, the Rockefellers and J.P. Morgan. With their investment, the conspirators had created a pseudo-enemy they controlled —to some extent. Soon after, the Soviet Union became the bogeyman the conspirators used for many years as a credible threat to manipulate and control the U.S. and other Western countries. The rest is history.
In the same fashion, it is not that President Trump, together with a large majority of Americans, has lost faith in their country. Actually, they have lost faith in communo-fascist Amerika, the aberration the same people who destroyed Russia have been slowly but surely imposing upon the American people.
The main reason why the globalist conspirators didn’t like America was because America, a land of free people, had become the main obstacle in their plans to create a communo-fascist New World Order with just two classes: the super rich and the hyper poor — a sort of modern medieval society. The reason why today they hate Trump so much is because he has become the greatest obstacle in carrying out their evil plans.
But Trump is not anti-American for the same reason that Gorbachev was not anti-Russian. Actually, both of them hated the aberrations imposed upon their countries by the globalist conspirators, and opposed it. President Trump, like many Americas, has lost faith in what current Amerika stands for, because current Amerika is a political, social, economic and moral aberration, and the country badly needs to be brought back to its true origins.

Quebec Premier Rejects Calls for ‘Anti-Islamophobia Day’

Premier François Legault has rejected calls for a ‘national day to combat Islamophobia’ in the Canadian province of Quebec.
Islamic groups have reportedly lobbied for the specially-designated day, but Legault shot the idea down after his deputy premier Genevieve Guilbault seemed to entertain the possibility.
“Geneviève was careful in saying that we were going to look at that,” Legault said during a press conference. “We looked at it, and there won’t be any, that’s clear.”
“I don’t think there is Islamophobia in Quebec, so I don’t see why there would be a day devoted to Islamophobia,” Legault responded when pressed further by reporters.

‘Assassination Guide’ Directed at German Populists Posted on Antifa-Linked Site
Calls for the assassination of several major figures in the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD), including detailed instructions on how to do so, have been found on a web platform linked to Antifa far-left extremists.
The post was made on the infamous “Indymedia” web platform that has long been used by far-left extremists in Germany and called for the murder of several AfD MPs, including co-chairs Alexander Gauland and Alice Weidel, Tichys Einblick reports.
Under the title ‘The AfD and the election campaign!’ the post calls on Antifa members to examine the dates of AfD public appearances and study maps of venues to escape once they have finished their assassination.

Totalitarianism: Buying a Hammer Now Makes You a Terrorist in the UK
If you need a hammer for any reason, the United Kingdom’s counter-terrorism policing unit will consider you a potential terrorist. They are also asking that anyone who sees someone doing something suspicious, like purchasing a hammer, to report it to the enforcers.
Buying a hammer is suspicious and is potentially an indicator of criminal activity according to the Tweet below posted by the U.K. Counter Terrorism Policing office.
It’s hard to see in the Twitter photo, but the guy looking at the hammer also has a few knives in his shopping basket. That’s apparently supposed to be a context clue that he’s maybe a very bad person, if not a terrorist. The U.K. has a borderline-comical campaign going on trying to convince young people not to carry knives around. According to Reason, there’s actually a very logically and likely explanation for needing some knives and one hammer. The man might be a chef doing some work in his restaurant, but the point of this ad campaign is that they actually don’t want you to think of the most likely explanation. They want you to be suspicious and live your life in fear of other’s everyday activities.
Complete with the scary “Life Has No Rewind Button” motto. Reason further pointed out that the entire video ad is actually a lot more sinister; not because it’s eerie at all, but it’s a bit horrifying what the UK counter-terrorism police demand you feel is “suspicious” behavior: like taking out the trash.

Is China Building a “Police State” or Countering Western-Sponsored Terrorism?
Articles like Bloomberg’s “Inside the Vast Police State at the Heart of China’s Belt and Road” and the Economist’s “China has turned Xinjiang into a police state like no other” depict Beijing’s efforts as a “Muslim crackdown” and a “massive abuse of human rights.”
While such articles allude to the very real violence that has taken place in Xinjiang and elsewhere targeted by an extremist minority among China’s Uighur population, it is portrayed as “resistance” by Western sources rather than terrorism.
Bloomberg’s article would claim: …state-mandated drills are part of China’s suppression campaign against Uighurs, predominately Muslim ethnic groups whose members have periodically lashed out with riots, stabbings and other attacks in protest of a government controlled by the Han Chinese majority.
In reality, Uighur extremists are terrorists pursuing unrealistic separatism encouraged by Washington, and doing so through extreme violence.

‘Never, Ever, Ever’: Muslim Leaders Reject Call to Denounce ‘Violent’ Koran
An Australian judge who said Muslim leaders should publicly denounce “belligerent” verses of the Koran has been warned not to offer Islamic scriptural guidance.
Grand Mufti of Australia Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohamed said Muslim leaders would “never, ever, ever” disavow verses of the Koran while president of the Australian Muslim Women’s Association Silma Ihram said that it was not appropriate for a judge to delve into religious scripture interpretations.
Both spoke the day after Justice Desmond Fagan said lethal messages derived from “hostile passages” of the Koran were not effectively countered by suggestions from “various quarters” that the verses had been “cherry picked” or that Islam was an “interpretive religion” of peace.

Canada Recalls Diplomats After Another Brain Injury in Cuba
The government of Canada announced on Wednesday that it would cut its diplomatic presence in Cuba in half after documenting a new case of unexplained brain trauma in an embassy worker, a move that the communist regime responded to with hostility.
Canada has now confirmed 14 cases of individuals working at its Havana embassy who have reported unexplained brain injuries leaving them with “concussion-like” symptoms, including mobility and hearing issues, fatigue, and impaired cognitive abilities. Medical experts studying the Canadians have stated they believe the victims are suffering from legitimate physical brain injury and not a psychosomatic phenomenon.
In addition to the Canadian diplomats, 26 Americans working at the embassy in Havana and one working at a U.S. consulate in Shanghai, China, have suffered a similar fate. Doctors have failed to definitively conclude the source of the injuries, though all who have studied the patients first-hand agree that they present verifiable physical damage.

Massive Protests Are Taking Place in Venezuela. Here’s What They Look Like.
On Saturday, huge numbers of Venezuelans took to the streets — most of them to show their support for opposition leader Juan Guaidó. A smaller contingency came out in support of President Nicolas Maduro, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the rise to power of his predecessor, Hugo Chavez.
Scenes from the two sides illustrate the deep divisions that have emerged in Venezuela in recent weeks, after Guaidó declared himself interim president and Maduro refused to step down. Marches in support of Guaidó, the 35-year-old head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, appear to have attracted massive crowds of demonstrators — holding signs calling for fair elections and sovereign democracy — in Caracas and other cities around the country.

Officials in Oulu, Finland, have placed a moratorium on migrants visiting schools and day care centers as an explosive ‘grooming gang’ scandal rocks the city.
‘Asylum seekers’ participating in the ESIKOTO project were invited to partake in ‘integration and multiculturalism’ visits to the facilities, but due to a slew of investigations into local sex scandals involving children and adult migrants, a temporary halt to the program has been enacted.

Texas Rep Lets Pelosi Have it: “Explain to the People…why We’re Not Securing the Border” [Video]
FRESHMAN REP. CHIP ROY IS THE REAL DEAL!
We need more like him in the house.
He just called out the Democrats and Nancy Pelosi on not securing the border.
“Explain to the people why we’re going to leave this afternoon at 1:00, not securing the border.
It makes absolutely no sense to the American people …
They wonder how this House leaves them with an unsecured border and nothing more than show votes for political theater.”
Rep. Chip Roy:
@speakerpelosi continually refuses to do her job and face the facts about the humanitarian crisis at our border. I’m on my way to get an update from the border patrol on the front lines. All the political theater makes one thing clear: #PelosiDoesntCare

President Donald Trump expressed optimism Friday that his border wall is going forward and will be built despite Congress not providing funds.
After calling border wall negotiations with Democrats a “waste of time,” the president went on to say he’s figuring out how to build border barriers without Congress’s cooperation.
He claimed to have money “on hand” to work on barriers, but recently he has still been fighting with Democrats on getting the wall funded. He said he’s looking at declaring a national emergency because he doesn’t think “anything is going to happen” with funding it.
“We’re building a lot of wall right now as we speak, and we’re renovating a lot of wall, and we’re getting ready to give out some very big contracts with money that we have on hand and money that comes in. But we will be looking at a national emergency, because I don’t think anything is going to happen,” Trump said.
With only some barriers being rebuilt or repaired, Trump’s comments fly in the face of critics’ claims that he’s failed to deliver on his promised wall. However, he came back to the argument that his administration was doing some work to build the wall now, pointing to the maintenance the administration has done on barriers while seeming to take credit for completing them.
“I would say we will have 115 miles of wall, maybe a little more than that, very shortly. It’s being built, some of it’s already been completed, in San Diego, if you look, it’s been completed,” Trump said…

Flashback: Trump Predicted Democrat Plan to Legalize Abortions Up to Birth

Flashback: Trump Predicted Democrat Plan to Legalize Abortions Up to Birth
With legislation in New York now allowing abortions up to birth, and lawmakers in Virginia looking to pass a similar law, statements made by then-candidate Donald Trump during one of his debates against Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton seem eerily foreboding.
“If you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby,” Trump told moderator Lester Holt on September 26, 2016 during a presidential debate at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas.
“You can say that that’s OK, and Hillary can say that that’s OK, but it’s not OK with me. Because based on what she’s saying, and based on where she’s going and where she’s been, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month — on the final day, and that’s not acceptable.”

German Elementary Schools to Install ‘Third Gender’ Bathrooms
Three new elementary schools around Munich in the German state of Bavaria are putting forth a proposal to create a bathroom for a “third gender” for children who do not identify as boys or girls.
In the municipality of Pullach the proposal for the third gender bathrooms comes after the idea was put forward by an external school advisor, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports.

Governor Who Endorsed Infanticide Received $2 Million From Planned Parenthood
Public records reveal Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, who endorsed infanticide as a form of abortion on Wednesday, received almost $2 million in campaign contributions from Planned Parenthood.
Research reveals nearly $2 million in campaign contributions from the taxpayer funded pro-abortion group Planned Parenthood sent to Northam, who endorsed a bill that would allow new mothers to determine whether they wanted to keep a child after delivery, essentially legalizing infanticide.

Hayward: The Left’s Comfort With Infanticide is a Warning About ‘Medicare for All’
It’s been a shocking few weeks for abortion extremism, from New York’s shocking late-term abortion law to Virginia’s mercifully unsuccessful attempt to legalize infanticide. It’s time to start talking about death panels again, because this casual attitude toward the destruction of human life is a grim omen of what “Medicare for All” would be like.
If the Left is so comfortable with abortion that it’s openly defending late-term horrors and the slaughter of children outside the womb, imagine what they’ll do with the elderly and infirm once they control medicine and hardcore rationing inevitably sets in.
The Left quickly realized it allowed its anti-human freak flag to fly a little too high in Virginia. Frantic attempts were made to gaslight American voters into believing Governor Ralph Northam didn’t say what he actually said about killing born-alive infants. The effort subsided as Northam’s defenders realized he was, if anything, understating the barbarism of the legislation in question. There was also the inconvenient matter of his equally infamous comment that infants would be “kept comfortable” while their mothers and doctors decided whether they should live or die.
Even as left-wing media outlets cranked out the predictable tidal wave of “Conservatives pounce!” headlines, the Virginia bill’s sponsors scampered away from their defeated legislation, implausibly claiming they never actually read the bill they pushed so hard and did not fully understand the horrors it would have authorized.
The delegate who proposed the bill, Kathy Tran, took a stab at using the Jedi mind trick to make everyone forget she advocated abortion at 40 weeks with nothing more than a single doctor’s concern about the “mental health” of the recalcitrant mother, but unfortunately for Tran, her words were caught on video with extensive captioning:

New York’s Governor Cuomo Celebrates Genocide
Democrats aren’t even subtle anymore about the abortion agenda. The lying magic deck of cards thrown out year after year to the public includes the crying scream fests of — Defending the rights of women, equality and the personal hard choice between a woman and her Doctor, I don’t want Government on my body. Now the deceptive and lying rights cloak has morphed into DEM Politician after Politician going from chapter to chapter through the Hitlerian playbook of Genocide.
We have just seen Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran and supportive DEMOCRATS try to get a late term abortion bill passed but failed this time, in part due to the video of Tran being questioned about the bill which went viral. It essentially allows 3rd trimester abortions, even the 9th month for any mental health reason or baby isn’t perfect and maybe has a disability or disease. You really can’t blame Tran however since her inspiration, Governor Cuomo of New York passed a late term abortion law into existence already. Governor is so proud of himself and this new law he can hardly deal with the adrenaline high.

Va Gov. Northam: No ‘Regrets’ On Childbirth Abortion Comments
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam refused to recant his comments in support of legislation that would have allowed women in his state to request an abortion, even as they are about to give birth.
At a press conference Thursday, Northam responded, “I don’t have any regrets,” to a reporter’s question citing criticism that his comments about the legislation were not helpful…
Many Republicans, pro-life leaders, and physicians condemned both the legislation for allowing “infanticide” and Northam for backing it.
President Donald Trump tweeted, “Democrats are becoming the Party of late-term abortion,” and said during an interview with the Daily Caller that he was “surprised” to hear of Northam’s comments that a newborn infant could be left to die if the parents wished.

Google Takes Its First Steps Toward Killing the URL
In September, members of Google’s Chrome security team put forth a radical proposal: Kill off URLs as we know them. The researchers aren’t actually advocating a change to the web’s underlying infrastructure. They do, though, want to rework how browsers convey what website you’re looking at, so that you don’t have to contend with increasingly long and unintelligible URLs—and the fraud that has sprung up around them. In a talk at the Bay Area Enigma security conference on Tuesday, Chrome usable security lead Emily Stark is wading into the controversy, detailing Google’s first steps toward more robust website identity.
Stark emphasizes that Google isn’t trying to induce chaos by eliminating URLs. Rather, it wants to make it harder for hackers to capitalize on user confusion about the identity of a website. Currently, the endless haze of complicated URLs gives attackers cover for effective scams. They can create a malicious link that seems to lead to a legitimate site, but actually automatically redirects victims to a phishing page. Or they can design malicious pages with URLs that look similar to real ones, hoping victims won’t notice that they’re on G00gle rather than Google. With so many URL shenanigans to combat, the Chrome team is already at work on two projects aimed at bringing users some clarity.
“What we’re really talking about is changing the way site identity is presented,” Stark told WIRED. “People should know easily what site they’re on, and they shouldn’t be confused into thinking they’re on another site. It shouldn’t take advanced knowledge of how the internet works to figure that out.”

Left-Wing Scaremongering is About Power
Scaremongering is now in vogue. The left is keen to utilize this to their advantage. Liberals, and leftists, all agree that “democracy” and “equality” is facing a challenge it hasn’t faced since the 1930s. While cries of “Nazis” and “brownshirts” and other epithets are hurled at will, there is an intentional image-based tactic the left uses in these rhetorical ploys.
Humans are image-based creatures. Images are the first grammar of the psyche. Thus, those who are deftly aware of this reality use language and mannerisms to their advantage — crafting an image to impregnate the mind of listeners and audiences.
That the left constantly invokes the 1930s is no accident. The 1930s, at least for those on the left, was a time of tumult and terror. Fascism and Nazism were on the rise. Ignoring the brutality of communist revolutionaries in Spain and the purges of the Soviet Union, the left depends on the ignorance of the masses to think only right-wing forces in the 1930s were guilty of crimes leading to racism, eugenic laws, and the movement to the Second World War. No mention is given to the racism of the left; of those stalwart “progressives” from whom modern progressives take their inspiration.

Governor Ralph “Coonman” Northam should resign so should Maduro
But for Coonman would be very difficult to resign. And he is necessary for he is sincere and works hard.
For Maduro resignation should be easy and for everyone’s benefit plus the road will be paved . . . yeah that magical thing . . . democracy. Once they have elections everyone will live in prosperity, just as it was done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria.
And if there are problems after one election, repeat elections. Every election will solve one problem. Just see Britain: it has Little problems now : It is called now Little Britain.
Elections solve problems not logical common sense.
“German Elementary Schools to Install ‘Third Gender’ Bathrooms”
There is a story, maybe true, that the Russians were dirty and [defecated] and [micturated] in their pants on the eastern front. On the other hand, the Germans tried to remain clean and smart, and many of them pulled their pants down to take a leak, but froze to death because of that.
The moral of the story is: The Russians were [excrement]-dirty for a very good reason.
Well, whatever, third gender bathrooms…
On the topics of abortions up to the birth, I just want to point out that similar things happened right before the Exodus from Egypt, and before the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a sign of a time.
Democrats are reluctant to criticize Omar and Tlaib because of the growing importance of Muslim voters to the Democratic coalition.”

From advocating for post birth abortion (infanticide) to regularly dressing up and putting on blackface Northam is one perverted smug guy.
He’s the doctor who is convinced he is God.
He’s the jerk you hope never gets to have life and death control over your baby or your child.
He brings the medical profession into disrepute and should have his license to practice stripped from him.
He has the morals of an alley cat and all the judgement of an amoeba.
He’s either mad ,bad or both .
He shouldn’t be in a position of responsibility.
And people who defend him are as bad as he is.
I don’t think he’s *that* bad…just showed a lack of judgment when it came time to admit what he’d done when young and foolish. VMI (Virginia Military Institute) is famous for young and foolish men…
IIRC, he was the first in his family to go to college. He was obviously intelligent, but there was no one to whisper about his future a generation ago. What he did was ignorant and, to some, deeply hurtful. But his sins are ones of discernment…at least those of his youth. He served in the Army for eight years, no doubt paying off his medical school debt.
New York has passed a similar abortion bill – ours in Virginia has been hastily taken off the table but the one in NY is the law now.
I prefer judge Jeanine Pirro’s stance on Northam and also that
of Michelle Malkim and Dr Steve Turley.
Dr Turley has done a few videos on the subject which you can access via his twitter feed.
I don’t approve of infanticide ,abortion doesn’t bother me as much.
But Northam wanted to allow the baby to be born ,made comfortable and resuscitated and then the mother and the doctor to have a little conversation about whether to kill it or let it live.
That’s a step too far for me.
Indeed; apart from the sheer callousness, what’s wrong with adoption?
Exactly
