Ultrasound: The Anti-Science Left’s Bugaboo
by Michelle Malkin
.
OPINION IN BRIEF
Rich Lowry: "The nation's foremost culture warrior is President Donald J. Trump. ... There is no way Trump could be a credible combatant in the culture war as it existed for the past 40 years. But he has reoriented the main lines of battle away from issues related to religion and sexual morality onto the grounds of populism and nationalism. Trump's culture war is fundamentally the people versus the elite, national sovereignty versus cosmopolitanism, and patriotism versus multiculturalism. It's the difference, in a nutshell, between fighting over gay rights or immigration, over the breakdown in marriage or Black Lives Matter. The new war is just as emotionally charged as the old one. It, too, involves fundamental questions about who we are as a people, which are always more fraught than the debate over the appropriate tax rate or whether or not we should have a defense sequester. ... His emphasis on borders, cultural coherence, law and order and national pride will engender a particular fear and loathing. It is an article of faith among the cultural elite that these priorities ... are the relics of a rapidly disappearing America that can't possibly represent the country's future. Trump and his supporters beg to differ." ~The Patriot Post

SHORT CUTS
Insight: "Destroy the family, you destroy the country." —Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924)
For the record: "Just as in Western Europe, the Left in America seeks to erase America's Judeo-Christian foundations. The melting pot is regarded as nothing more than an anti-black, anti-Muslim, anti-Hispanic meme. The Left suppresses free speech wherever possible for those who oppose it, labeling all non-Left speech 'hate speech.' To cite only one example, if you think Shakespeare is the greatest playwright or Bach is the greatest composer, you are a proponent of dead white European males and therefore racist." —Dennis Prager
Non Compos Mentis: "Say NO'Betsy Devos'.HER QUEST, 2 DEFUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. UR CHILD DESERVES MORE." —Cher, opposing school choice and needing remedial grammar
A blind squirrel finds a nut: "[Trump's inaugural] speech was full of hope and inclusion and he reached out to cities in a way they've not been reached out to for a long time. ... I'm hopeful. ... I hope he'll have the grace and commitment to put all of us under one big tent." —Jesse Jackson
Braying Jenny: "My job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt." —DNC chairwoman candidate Sally Boynton Brown
And last... "I don't get what's so interesting or significant about a White House Press Secretary blatantly lying." —Frank Fleming ~The Patriot Post

Media Covers Fake Mike Flynn Story, Ignores
Bombshell on Secret liar-nObama/Iran Meetings
by David Steinberg
{pjmedia.com} ~ If mainstream media truly wishes to repair its image with the general public, these outlets must recognize they do not merely suffer from a "bubble" reinforced by overwhelmingly liberal staffing... or from supposedly insufficient outreach to working class communities. The mainstream's issues are apparent in their content choices, suggesting an intractable problem. Following decades of allowing the Democratic Party to select the day's narrative, they possess no measure of professional competence for objectively judging the importance of information. The media's remarkably different responses to the following two stories offer a definitive example:... https://pjmedia.com/trending/2017/01/25/media-covers-fake-mike-flynn-story-ignores-bombshell-on-secret-obamairan-meetings/

Democracy Alliance: Soros Billionaires
Club for Revolution
by William F. Jasper
{thenewamerican.com} ~ Even as Democrats publicly and loudly decry corporatist political “dark money,” billionaire Democrats and other donors funnel hundreds of millions to radical and violent causes... Barely a week had passed after Donald Trump’s historic upset in the November 8 presidential election, but some of the world’s richest individuals were already launching a counteroffensive. George Soros and his fellow deep-pocket funders of the Democratic Party and left-wing causes gathered with a lineup of party activists and luminaries from Hollywood, K Street, and Wall Street for a three-day “investment conference” (November 15-17) at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, D.C. The conference was entitled “2016-2018-2020: Seizing Opportunity & Building Power.” These are folks who know a thing or two about seizing power — political, economic, and social. They are the “partners” of the Democracy Alliance, an elite invitation-only club of uber-rich donors who are credited with dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into political campaigns and radical movements in recent years... http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/25200-democracy-alliance-soros-billionaires-club-for-revolution?utm_source=iContactPro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines&utm_content=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines+Jan+25+17

Days Into Trump Admin, Corrupt Employees
Are Already Being Fired At The VA
by Luke Rosik
{dailycaller.com} ~ Days into Donald Trump’s administration, heads are finally beginning to roll at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Two notoriously corrupt employees in Puerto Rico were fired this week, indicating that more may be on the way... One is the hospital’s CEO, DeWayne Hamlin, who offered an employee $305,000 to quit after she played a role in exposing his drug arrest. “Mr. DeWayne Hamlin was removed from federal service effective January 20, 2017,” the VA said. Jan. 20 was Inauguration Day. Under former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Bob McDonald, the agency ignored years of evidence about shoddy work ethic, theft and whistleblower retaliation. The VA finally began a months-long investigative proceeding last year, after an outside agency, the Office of Special Counsel, prodded VA leadership...

Trump Investigation Of Voter Fraud
Legitimate, Despite Media Sniping
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ The investigation into voter fraud is critical and it has to be done and voter security safeguards put into place prior to the mid-terms if possible but absolutely before the 2020 presidential elections... As President Trump knows the fraud he will face then will be even greater than what he just overcame in November. If the holes aren’t plugged in the system, most of them deliberately engineered into it by the crooked Democrats, and they are able to steal the next election, government by the citizens of this nation will be over. The establishment media propagandists dismiss President Trump as being crazy, believing a lie or, as in the instance with Bill Hemmer, obsessed with the idea. It’s amazing how the few honest members of that group can fail to recognize the scheme and how willingly the public buys the disingenuous arguments of the corrupt ones, such as ABC’s Jonathan Karl in the second video. Hemmer quotes President Trump, who appears to be aware that the whole “Russian hacking” nonsense was a red herring, a diversion away from the real voter fraud being conducted by the Democrats as has long been their plan, through the importation of illegals and providing them with the means of circumventing voter laws... http://rickwells.us/gingrich-trump-investigation-voter-fraud-legitimate-despite-media-sniping/

.Secret refugee network
'freaking out' over Trump reforms
by Leo Hohmann
{wnd.com} ~ As early as Thursday, President Trump is expected to drop a bombshell on the refugee-resettlement industry, a network of church organizations, secular NGOs and United Nations-friendly groups... that are paid tens of millions of dollars every year to secretly plant Third World migrants into more than 300 U.S. cities and towns. Trump will block the entry of migrants from countries hosting Muslim jihadists, many of them looking to relocate to Western democracies in the wake of the Islamic State’s loss of territory in Syria and Iraq. Trump is planning a moratorium on immigration visas from seven countries of special interest – Syria, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya. At the same time, Trump is expected to announce a pause in the resettlement of refugees from most countries for at least four months or until a better system of vetting can be developed...

Ultrasound: The Anti-Science Left’s Bugaboo
by Michelle Malkin
{freedomsback.com} ~ Abortion extremists are the new Luddites.
Remember Ned Ludd from your grade-school history lessons? He was the Occupy Wall Street agitator of his time — a phantom leader of early 19th-century British textile workers who vindictively smashed spinning jenny power looms to bits in a desperate bid to halt technological progress.
Now, it’s radical feminists hysterically stoking fear and loathing of machines. Revolutionary developments in sonography have endangered their agenda of unrestricted abortion on demand, at all times, no questions asked. The popular diagnostic tools that give parents and doctors around the world an increasingly vivid window to the womb fundamentally undermine Planned Parenthood’s dehumanizing propaganda.
With more and more pregnant women over the past three decades changing their minds about abortion after seeing and hearing the life growing inside of them, the peeved pussyhat brigade is on a mission:
Ultrasounds. Must. Be. Stopped.
The latest salvo in the wimmin’s war on sinister sonograms? It’s a doozy of a screed this week published by Moira Weigel, “writer and a doctoral candidate in comparative literature at Yale University,” in the Atlantic Monthly magazine originally titled, “How the Ultrasound Pushed the Idea that a Fetus is a Person.”
What a patriarchal jerk, that insidious Mr. Ultrasound is, pushing around such sexist lunacy as the idea that unborn babies are alive!
The original subheading of the article is even better (er, worse): “The technology has been used to create an imaginary ‘heartbeat’ and sped-up videos that falsely depict a response to stimulus.”
Weigel sneered that “there is no heart to speak of” in a six-week-old fetus and used “heartbeat” in scare quotes to assert her scientific authority. She similarly employed those scare quotes to deride “life,” “baby” and “baby bump.”
After actual medical experts and parents exposed Weigel’s Neanderthal ignorance of basic embryology, the ridiculous claim was removed and a sheepish noncorrection correction appeared at the end of the biology denier’s piece for the once-august Atlantic Monthly.
“This article originally stated that there is ‘no heart to speak of’ in a six-week-old fetus,” the editors’ note admitted. “By that point in a pregnancy, a heart has already begun to form. We regret the error.” Read it in smarty-pants “Saturday Night Live” character Emily Litella’s “Neeever mind” voice for full effect.
Next in the anti-science Atlantic’s investigative series: How X-rays pushed the idea that humans have skeletons! How microscopes pushed the idea that microorganisms exist! How electroencephalograms pushed the idea that human brains send electrical impulses! A deep dive by the intrepid Weigel into the world of “imaginary” bones, bacteria and beta waves will no doubt yield a Pulitzer nomination if not a Nobel Prize.
Curiously, Weigel raised no objection to the appalling use of ultrasound by Planned Parenthood operatives to harvest unborn baby parts. In 2015, the Center for Medical Progress exposed how Dr. Deborah Nucatola, the abortion giant’s senior director, boasted of using “ultrasound guidance” to improve the quality of coveted organs “a lot of people want liver”. Ultrasound machines helped their harvesters “know where they’re putting their forceps” to score better prices.
“We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver,” Dr. Nucatola chirped, “because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”
Ironically enough, we don’t need ultrasound to see quite clearly, through the ghoulish words and barbaric deeds of abortion zealots like Quack Doctor Wanna-be Weigel and Dr. Nucatola, that having a heart doesn’t always guarantee humanity.
