Side Effects ~ David Zucker

Hollywood comedy legend David Zucker (“Airplane,” “Scary Movie,” “Naked Gun” films among many others) has written and produced this hilarious spoof on the disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal. In his trademark style, Zucker skewers the deal’s primary architects – President Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry warns of the possible “Side Effects” that may result from the absurd agreement.

Being PRO-LIFE Is Now “Hate-Speech” ~ Office Depot vs. Babies

  • As a follow up, Office Depot ceo apologizes – agrees to print pro-life flyer after story hits drudge report.

The Washington Times started this story out:

A Chicago-area woman has accused Office Depot of religious discrimination after employees refused to make copies of an anti-Planned Parenthood flier, citing company policy that prohibits the “persecution of people who support abortion rights.”

Maria Goldstein, 42, said she was told to use the self-serve copy machines after employees at the Office Depot in Schaumburg refused to fulfill her order of 500 copies of “A Prayer for the Conversion of Planned Parenthood,” the Chicago Tribune reported….

The Daily Caller originated it:

Office Depot may face a lawsuit after refusing to print flyers that criticize Planned Parenthood, saying the flyers “persecute” people who believe in abortion rights.

Maria Goldstein, 42, of Illinois asked Office Depot on Aug. 20 to print 500 anti-Planned Parenthood fliers, but the employee refused. The flier had facts about Planned Parenthood from the organization’s annual report as well as a prayer calling for the “conversion” and “enlightenment” of those who support the organization.

“When I tell people they’re shocked because this is America,” Goldstein told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Office Depot is trying to silence my freedom of speech and my freedom of religion.”

[….]

Tom Olp, a lawyer with the Thomas More Society, said if Office Depot does not comply they will file a legal complaint.

“This seems crazy,” Olp told TheDCNF. “To say that a prayer that calls for conversion and understanding and enlightenment is persecution, to call that persecution to me is the height of intolerance.”…

The spokesperson for Office Depot mention the flyer had language to persecute people. I suggest reading it all — below (see Office Depot’s response here):

Are Atheists “Free Thinkers”? Atheists AND Theists Say No

Ever hear an atheist say he’s a freethinker? Well, if atheism is true, an atheist, cannot be free nor would his thinking make any real sense. Frank Turek explains.

Melissa Ohden’s & Gianna Jensen’s Congressional Testimony

Via Priests for Life:

Melissa Ohden’s story is not easy to hear.

“My mother meant to scald me to death in her womb,” says the survivor of a saline abortion performed in 1977 in Sioux City, Iowa. “I was left for dead, until a nurse discovered I was gasping for breath,” she explains. She was 2 pounds, 14 ounces.

Despite a poor prognosis, Melissa, who recently visited Priests for Life’s headquarters, was adopted by a family who already had an adopted daughter. “Until I was 14, I grew up thinking I was living a normal life,” she recalls. She knew she was adopted but didn’t know the circumstances until her sister, then 18, got pregnant and considered abortion. Her parents told her sister the devastating truth, and her sister alerted Melissa.

Confusion and shock were compounded by survivor’s guilt when she thought of the thousands of babies lost every day to abortion.

“I forgave them a long time ago,” she said of her birth parents and grandparents, but her story made her realize that abortion is a tragedy for generations of families.

A social worker and counselor, she began speaking publicly about the abortion in 2007. A year later, her story came full circle when, with her husband Ryan at her side, she gave birth to their daughter, Olivia, “in the same hospital where I was supposed to die.”

Another wonderful story is Gianna Jessen’s Congressional testimony:

Why We’re Losing Liberty ~ Robert George (PragerU)

Was the Constitution written in a way that was designed to protect freedom and limit the government’s size? Has it been effective in doing that? And what’s the Supreme Court’s record when it comes to protecting our rights? Robert George, Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, answers these questions and more.

This really should be combined with the excellent video at Prager University, “Is Evil Rational.” Great points. Love the deeper thoughts in my ear piece as I am tooling around the warehouse at my work.

Gender Neutral Elementary Bathrooms ~ Thank You Democrats

HotAir has this nugget:

I really didn’t think it was going to happen this fast when I predicted last week that schools were going to need all new bathrooms soon to accommodate “transgender children.” That case involved a Missouri high school senior who triggered a large protest when he insisted on changing in the girls’ locker room. I clearly failed to anticipate just how quickly the SJW forces can move because one school district in the San Francisco area is already on top of the problem. They’re going to entirely unisex bathrooms to avoid insulting any “differently gendered” students, by golly, and they’re starting with the elementary school. (Yahoo News)

[….]

Who could possibly have guessed that the epicenter for erasing the concept of gender from the early education system would come from San Francisco? I suppose if you indoctrinate them early enough you can really strike a blow for change, but this highly disturbing trend isn’t just taking place in the left coast granola-centric community. This entire concept of restructuring the human race in abject denial of fundamental, biological reality – not to mention millennia of attempting to instill civil behavior for young ladies and gentlemen – should be a warning sign. We’re managing to tear down our own house from the inside and the government seems to be perfectly willing to finance the wrecking ball.

When you read a facepalm inducing story like this you might be wondering, well how many kids are having gender issues in kindergarten? The obvious and easy answer is that none of them are, but some of them have parents who watch Rachel Maddow or read Sally Kohn too frequently and you never know what they’ll be getting up to with their own children. Another case in point comes to us once again not from California, but from Nashville, Tennessee. Hang on to your hats for this one. (Yahoo)

Christiane Davis, a stay-at-home mom, lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband, Jeremiah, and their two kids, A.J. and Patrick. What most people wouldn’t know at first glance is that A.J., which stands for Andrew Jackson, is a female-to-male transgender child.

On Nov. 14, 2007, Davis gave birth to a baby girl named Nadine. Davis began seeing signs that her child was a boy rather than a girl early on. By the time A.J. turned three, he was refusing to wear “girly” clothes. Another issue was A.J.’s hair: He did not want it to be touched. “He didn’t want me to put it up into little clips or bows,” she said.

Davis thought she was going to have a tomboy and didn’t want to label her child anything. She thought her then daughter was just a strong-willed little girl. But it went beyond that.

The story just goes downhill from there. I can’t even imagine what’s going to become of the Davis family’s daughter in later years but it seems to be beyond our control. I’m just hoping they’re not going to try chemically altering her body to delay the onset of puberty or begin scheduling surgery on her….
