US drops 'Mother of All Bombs' on
Afghanistan, destroying a tunnel complex
by Jamie McIntyre
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The U.S. has dropped one if its largest non-nuclear bombs on a tunnel complex in Afghanistan, the U.S. military said... The use of the GBU-43/B is a first for the battlefield, and was dropped in Nangarhar province on Thursday. The target was a tunnel complex in Achin district being used by the ISIS-Khorasan group. Known as the Massive Ordnance Air Blast, the bomb has been nicknamed "Mother of All Bombs." Developed in 2003, the GPS-guided bomb has been tested but never used against an enemy. The bomb is 30-feet long and weighs 21,600 pounds. It's being referred to as the largest non-nuclear bomb in the U.S. inventory, but the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator is larger, at 30,000 pounds, at least based on weight... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/us-drops-mother-of-all-bombs-on-isis-tunnel-in-afghanistan/article/2620219?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20Breaking%20News&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20Breaking%20News%20-%2004/13/17&utm_medium=email

Carter Page Is 2nd Confirmation
liar-nObama Targeted Political Opponents
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs isn’t sure whether to call it the Susan Rice scandal or perhaps the unmasking scandal, as there may well be many more participants that simply the former National Security Adviser... Whatever the name will eventually be up being, Dobbs invites Judicial Watch Director of Investigations and Research Chris Farrell in to talk about it. Dobbs finds it remarkable that “Carter Page, the former unpaid, part-time adviser to a part of the Trump campaign – he calls everything, basically, that’s been said about him propaganda. What are we dealing with here?” Farrell says, “It’s a train wreck. One thing I think is the most important takeaway is you now have double confirmation that the liar-nObama administration was conducting political espionage using signals intelligence platforms against Trump and Trump associates. And so you have Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn and now you have Carter Page, and you have the Washington Post writing up an article that, to me, was a big nothing burger. There was no great, stunning revelation in the article at all.”... http://rickwells.us/dobbs-judicial-watch-carter-page-2nd-confirmation-obama-targeted-political-opponents/

China Puts Troops on Nationwide High
Alert Over North Korea
by Keith Jacobs
{patriotpowerednews.com} ~ China has put its military on “nationwide alert” while ordering 25,000 more troops to prepare to be sent to the North Korean border as tensions build... Citing the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy, a nongovernmental organization in Hong Kong, the Oriental Daily News reports that Beijing has ordered troops from all five of its military regions to be on high alert due to the escalating crisis in the region. “Armored and mechanized infantry brigades in the provinces of Shandong, Zhejiang and Yunnan received the state mandate,” reports UPI. Around 25,000 troops of the Chinese military’s 47th group army of the Ninth Armored Brigade have also been told to prepare to travel long distances close to the North Korean border, while other troop divisions may also have been mobilized... http://patriotpowerednews.com/breaking-china-puts-troops-on-nationwide-high-alert-over-north-korea/

FBI Sting Nets Two Chicago Area ISIS Supporters
by John Rossomando
by John Rossomando
{investigativeproject.org} ~ Two Chicago area men face up to 20 years in prison if convicted of providing material support to ISIS Joseph D. Jones and Edward Schimenti, both 35, were arrested Wednesday morning... They tried to provided ISIS cellphones and personnel, an FBI affidavit alleges. The supplies were given instead to an FBI informant. Jones, aka "Yusuf Abdulhaqq," and Schimenti, aka "Abdul Wali," thought the phones would be used to detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Jones told an undercover FBI employee he declared his allegiance – or bayah – to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. They also worked to help the informant travel overseas to fight for ISIS and encouraged him to get into fighting shape, the affidavit said. Jones and Schimenti told the informant to be careful and avoid law enforcement detection...

'Shariah cop' cracks down on Minnesota Muslims
by Leo Hohmann
{wnd.com} ~ A 22-year-old Muslim convert has been denounced for trying to enforce Shariah law on Somali refugees living in Minneapolis, but he says he’s just trying to be a good Muslim and please Allah... Abdullah Rashid married a Somali woman and moved from his hometown in Walton County, Georgia, to Wyoming and then on to Minnesota last year. Formerly Devon James Miller, Rashid now dresses in traditional Islamic headdress. But when he isn’t in a turban, he wears a green uniform with a patch marking him as the “religious police.” That’s causing quite a stir, even in the Muslim enclave of Minneapolis’s Cedar Riverside community. In a recent interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Rashid said he aims to turn the city’s Cedar-Riverside area into a “sharia-controlled zone” where Muslims are learning about the proper practices of Islam and that “non-Muslims are asked to respect” it, the paper reported...That is just a lie. They want to enforce Shariah Islamic into America.

Baby in a Jar
by Rebecca Hagelin
{townhall.com} ~ “There’s a jar on the shelf with a little baby in it!” the girl nervously whispered.
Several of us were gathered around one of the lab stations in our seventh-grade science class when my wide-eyed classmate revealed her gruesome discovery.
Of course we couldn’t believe it. We all knew those crowded bookshelves in the far corner of the room. They were filled with jars of frogs and snakes and other former living things that now stood preserved in some brownish yellow liquid, made cloudy and dense by their very slowly decomposing bodies. Every specimen had that same sickening hue, long void of life and whatever color it once had.
A friend and I made our way to the back of the room amidst the clinking of test tubes and mayhem while the class of 12-year-olds tried to organize in little groups for the day’s lab activity. The year was 1974. It was a time when bunson burners, formaldehyde, scalpels and preteens regularly interacted in public school science classrooms.
It was also the year after it became legal in America to kill preborn human babies — and put them in jars on dusty shelves along with mice and frogs.
Was it really legal? You know, to kill a baby? To put it in a jar on a shelf? These questions swamped my mind as I spotted the jar in disbelief. Crammed inside the pint-sized tomb and immersed in that same sickening liquid was a perfectly formed little baby. A human baby.
Abortion was not discussed in middle school in those days. But our gentle, kind science teacher thought the truth about the product of abortion should be known. I remember him softly saying, “God rest his soul,” as he joined us at the bookshelves in our silent contemplation. He didn’t need to expound. He didn’t have to.
But to this day I wish I knew more about the helpless little baby whose life had been snuffed out. While others were preoccupied with where our teacher got the baby, I was struck by his dead stillness. I marveled at his tiny toes, and the perfectly formed delicate rib cage barely visible through taut, translucent skin. And I had the unshakeable feeling that his death was very, very wrong.
Something is very, very wrong in a country where little human babies continue to be legally slaughtered. If more people saw their little bodies and witnessed that they are not formless blobs of tissue as Planned Parenthood tells young, unsuspecting mothers in the midst of emotional turmoil, then perhaps our American holocaust would finally end.
But the truth is largely hidden.
Thank God, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) has bravely infiltrated Planned Parenthood clinics and meetings over the last several years and carefully documented the grisly truth through under-cover video.
Although California’s attorney general, to whom Planned Parenthood made numerous campaign contributions, recently charged the CMP citizen journalists with 15 criminal counts for allegedly illegally recording conversations with employees of the baby abortuaries, many of the videos can be viewed at www.CenterForMedicalProgress.org.
The videos and hundreds of pages of documents reveal for all the world to see how Planned Parenthood not only kills babies but often has them chopped into pieces and sold like chicken parts to those who traffic human remains.
Oh, and if you are a taxpayer, you are helping to fund the atrocities.
Find out what you can do to help persuade Congress to stop paying Planned Parenthood and to work toward protecting the preborn and their unsuspecting moms.
