Hillary Clinton is a lesbian, according to former Miss Arkansas Sally Miller, who is just one of more than a dozen women to come forward and admit she had an affair with Bill Clinton. She has been giving interviews recently, and here is the link to the full interview she to The American Mirror which contains even more stunning claims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftUIt...

Mark Steyn delivers withering assault against pro mass immigration liberals who openly mocked the young victims of gang rape by Muslim migrants in Europe.
I am ashamed to admit I didn’t grasp the importance of the Munk Debate held last week in Toronto. But now I do, and I feel it is my duty to share this particular exchange so as to try to win some hearts and minds over to the side of sanity, prudence and security when it comes to the question of mass Muslim refugee resettlement and immigration to Europe and North America.
Held in Toronto’s Roy Thompson Hall on Friday, April 1, the Munk Debate put forward the following motion concerning refugee policy: “Be it resolved: Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Arguing the pro side: Louise Arbour, former UN Human Rights commissioner, and historian Simon Schama. Opposed to the motion: journalist Mark Steyn and Britain’s UKIP party leader Nigel Farage.
The Munk tradition is to poll the audience before and again after the debate. The first poll was 77% in favor of the motion, 23% opposed. After the debate, the pro side dropped to 55% and the con leaped up to 45%, a huge, 22% shift, revealing how a dynamic elaboration of the facts of the case can persuade people of the dangers of welcoming mass numbers from an alien culture into Western societies.
Barbara Kay writing at the National Post described what she considered to be the point at which the opinion of the room began to shift towards the “con” position:
To some audience members… Steyn dwelt excessively on the sexual crimes we’ve all read about in Cologne, Hamburg, Malmö and elsewhere. So it apparently seemed to Arbour and Schama, because they mocked Steyn for it in their rebuttals. Arbour sneered at both Steyn and Farage as “newborn feminists” (she got a laugh), while Schama disgraced himself with “I’m just struck by how obsessed with sex these two guys are, actually. It’s a bit sad, really.” (That got a very big laugh.) I took one look at Steyn’s glowering face after that remark — Schama will regret having said it to his dying day, I know it — and I kind of felt sorry for those two liberals, because I knew what was coming.
Steyn slowly rose and riposted, in a tone of withering contempt, “I wasn’t going to do funny stuff. I was going to be deadly serious. (But) I’m slightly amazed at Simon’s ability to get big laughs on gang rape.” Vigorous applause. He went on, “Mme Arbour scoffs at the ‘newfound feminists.’ I’m not much of a feminist, but I draw the line at a three year old … and a seven year old getting raped.” Vigorous applause.
I think that was the moment those of the audience who did change their minds got it…
Watch the video below (or here) to get the full impact of Steyn’s response. The expressions of the audience behind him reveal their shock at his thundering recitation of mass rapes of innocent European children by Muslim migrant savages in public parks, swimming pools, and even in a city hall.
Virginia Hale at Breitbart News presents a fine synopsis of the evening, highlighting this archetypal example of the blindness of the EU’s immigration policy, cited by Steyn:
Revealing the horrifying realities on the ground in Europe, as a result of the presence of more than a million refugees, Steyn described how “a fortnight after acing a training course on treating women with respect” a 15 year old Afghan dragged a Belgian caterer at a refugee centre down to the basement and raped her.
The dark irony, duly noted by Steyn, is that Mme Arbour was “the first prosecutor to charge rape as a crime against humanity and the author of several reports on rape as a ‘weapon of war’.” As Mark Steyn puts it in the exchange below, citing Arbour’s influence in the Sudan genocide, “rape is not about sex, but about power.”
In other words, according to Mme Arbour’s own definitions, when Muslims rape European women and children — in public places in their home towns — it needs to be seen as an act of war, and indeed a war crime, and should be dealt with as such.
Hale also reports on Nigel Farage’s powerful argumentation concerning the existential threat posed to European civilization:
“There is no one on this side of the argument saying that all Muslims are bad” but that their arrival in such large numbers has resulted in the “once-sleepy city of Malmo” now being the “rape capital of Europe.”
Responding to Simon Schama’s assumption that, because previous waves of migrants had assimilated, this wave would be no different Farage echoed his shocking claimslast year of some Muslim migrants posing a threat to the security of European nations, differentiating the current refugee crisis from “any other migratory or refugee wave in the history of mankind” in that “never before have we had a fifth column living in our communities that hates us, wants to kill us and wants to overturn our complete way of life.”
Tragically, most people don’t know what is happening, but as the Munk debate proved, when we have the opportunity to present the truth, we have a very strong likelihood of winning people over to the side of reason and righteousness and the defense of Western civilization. The debate win by Steyn and Farage swayed the audience from almost 80% in favor of mass Muslim immigration to a nearly even split with the opposed.
Barbara Kay concludes:
The pro side was happy to talk about “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses,” because they’re abstract images, which liberals like… They’re feel-good words but that shouldn’t make the poet who wrote them in 1883 the author of global refugee legislation in 2016.
A civilized culture, which takes centuries of painstaking collaborative work to create, can be easily destroyed, and quickly. This is a reality conservatives understand, but liberals, consumed by guilt for past collective sins, and morally disarmed before the Other, choose to ignore. The Munk debate illuminated this important distinction, and for a change, realism won.
Mark Steyn closes his rebuttal by asserting that the diabolical epidemic of Muslim migrants mass raping European children in public places cuts to “the heart of the question.” Indeed it does, for the 21st century West is finally being confronted with precisely why conquered Christians in the 7th century considered the invading Muslims a chastisement for their sins, Islam to be religion non grata and Muhammad the forerunner of the antichrist.

Published on Apr 2, 2016
"We cannot fix failed states by inviting millions of their people to move in with us. All that ensures is more failed states, more failure, and eventually, one by one, the nations of the west will join them. And then you'll really be yearning to breathe free and there will be nowhere to do it."

PayPal, a company well-known for its support of LGBT causes, has chosen to punish the state of North Carolina for its new law, the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act, designed to protect the privacy of its citizens in public restrooms.
The corporate giant is cancelling its plans to open a global operations center in Charlotte, after the North Carolina Legislature passed a law that PayPal declares is “discriminatory” against transgenders (people claim to have a “mismatch” between their sexual identity and their biological sex). The move by PayPal will cost the city and the state about 400 jobs.
It is but the latest example of corporations using their economic clout to bully states and local governments into submitting to progressive policies.
The move by PayPal follows the decision by Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York State to bar “non-essential state travel” to North Carolina. He was joined in that move by the mayors of Seattle and San Francisco.
What did the new law do that has PayPal so upset that its corporate bosses have opted out of opening a facility in the Tar Heel State? After the city of Charlotte crafted a city ordinance that would have allowed individuals to select the restroom of their “gender identity,” the state legislature passed a law overturning the ordinance. In other words, the law would not allow grown men to use the same restrooms as young girls.
Because of this action, designed to protect the rights of North Carolinians to use a restroom without having their privacy invaded by a person of the opposite sex, other businesses might follow in using their economic muscle to punish the state. Other companies that have already expressed criticism of the new law include American Airlines, Google, and Apple. The NBA has even threatened not to allow the state to host its all-star game next year. More than 100 companies have joined together to protest the law.
But PayPal is the first to take definite action. PayPal CEO Dan Schulman was indignant about North Carolina’s law: “Becoming an employer in North Carolina, where members of our teams will not have equal rights under the law, is simply untenable," he asserted. "The new law perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal’s mission and culture.”
Who would have thought that a company that provides a secure way of paying for goods over the Internet would have as its mission allowing men into women’s restrooms, and women into men’s restrooms?
Schulman said the decision against building a facility in North Carolina “reflects PayPal’s deepest values and our strong belief that every person has the right to be treated equally, and with dignity and respect.”
This Orwellian “newspeak” is unbelievable. On the contrary, PayPal’s decision is just the latest assault upon our society’s culture of respect for privacy. It is an insult to the dignity and respect of a person’s right to have privacy in a public restroom.
Representative Paul Stam, one of the state legislators who sponsored the North Carolina bill, defended the law on CNN: “The law did not change the policy on discrimination an appreciable extent between two weeks ago and today. What [transgendered people are] really complaining about is that we have not become like the 17 other states that have put in special rights for them,” the Republican lawmaker explained. “We’re trying to protect the reasonable expectations of privacy of 99.9 percent of our citizens, who think when they’re going into a restroom or a changing room or a locker room, that they will be private.”
What used to be a joke has become reality. In 1970, the popular Carol Burnett Show did a skit with Vicki Lawrence as a new mother. When someone asked her if the newborn was a boy or a girl, she indignantly responded, “This is 1970,” and lectured the inquirer that the child can make that decision itself at age 21. Of course, the audience laughed at the absurdity of it all.
Bluntly put, to the social radicals that support this sort of thing, the rights of men who now believe themselves to be women supersede the rights of those persons who consider themselves the same sex with which they were born.
Or, as it was put in George Orwell’s classic novel Animal Farm, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” ______________________________________________________
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Over 26,000 people have signed a petition calling upon a Roman Catholic university in California to cancel a “hyper-sexualized drag show,” the fifth of its kind at the Catholic-based educational institution.
The University of San Diego is schedule to host its “Celebration of Gender Expression: Supreme Drag Superstar V” on Thursday, April 14 at its Shiley Theatre. The event page on the university website characterizes the show as an “edu-tainment event” that will “teach about the experiences of trans and gender-fluid communities, including the prevalence of violence, while students entertain with light-hearted lip-sync and astounding choreography.”
The event is put on by the university’s PRIDE group, which is an “organization of undergraduate students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, pansexual and other identities and/or allies of the LGBTQ community.” The University of San Diego also has other homosexual advocacy groups on campus, such as Queer Women of USD and LGBTIQQ Rainbow Wellness.
Some students who have attended the drag show in the past, an event where men dress as women and vice versa, have expressed concern about its celebration of transgenderism and homosexuality.
“The event which transpired was anything but educational and presented a biased view regarding the nature of DRAG, homosexuality, and transgender lifestyles,” wrote one anonymous student in 2012. “The event felt more like an underhanded attempt at indoctrination than anything else. … Make no mistake, this event fostered sinful behaviors and set the stage for more in the future.”
“This feeling was furthered by the banning of video, photography, and audio recording, which came across as a desire for secrecy,” they stated. “Even worse, the hosts of the event sought to encourage the performers as well as the audience, referring to them as ‘revolutionaries,’ to take a more active role in making DRAG, homosexuality, and transgender identity an acceptable part of the campus.”
As in years past, the group FTP Student Action is petitioning the University of San Diego to put an end to the drag show as they believe that it promotes sinful behavior.
“What students need most in our culture of impurity is a greater counter-culture of purity and virtue, not a hyper-sexualized drag show that showcases revolt against God’s creation of male and female,” said TFP Student Action director John Ritchie in a statement.
The group says that one year a student dressed up as Baphomet and danced to the song “Good ‘N’ Evil,” which asserts that evil is good and good is evil.
As of press time, TFP Student Action had garnered over 26,800 petition signatures to stop the show. The petition simply reads, “I am appalled that your university plans to host a pro-homosexual ‘drag show’ on April 14, 2016. I respectfully urge you to cancel it to avoid further public scandal.”
“Why is there a preferential treatment for movements that peddle the public acceptance of sin?” Ritchie asked. “Why is the prayerful plea of Catholic students to cancel the annual drag show brushed aside by university officials?”
The group has a goal of reaching 35,000 signatures, which will be submitted to university President Dr. James T. Harris III, Robert McElroy, the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego, and others.
Pride's Celebration of Gender Expression Supreme Drag Superstar IV
JACKSON, Miss. — The governor of Mississippi has signed into law a bill that provides protections to pastors, faith-based organizations and business owners who object to being complicit in another’s same-sex ceremony.
“I am signing HB 1523 into law to protect sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations, and private associations from discriminatory action by state government or its political subdivisions, which would include counties, cities and institutions of higher learning,” Gov. Phil Bryant said in a statement on Tuesday.
“This bill merely reinforces the rights which currently exist to exercise of religious freedom as stated in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,” he said.
As previously reported, on Friday, the Mississippi House of Representatives passed H.B. 1523, also known as the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act. It had been passed days prior in the Senate.
“The sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions protected by this act are the belief or conviction that: marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman; sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage; and male (man) or female (woman) refer to an individual’s immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy and genetics at time of birth,” the legislation, authored by House Speaker Phillip Gunn, reads.
The bill then prohibits the government from punishing those who decline to officiate same-sex ceremonies or provide services or accommodations for the celebrations, as well as those whose policies require use of locker and restrooms consistent with their biological gender.
It does not permit persons to refuse service in general, but only to decline forms of personal participation in events that conflict with their faith.
“The state government shall not take any discriminatory action against a person wholly or partially on the basis that the person has provided or declined to provide … services, accommodations, facilities, goods, or privileges for a purpose related to the solemnization, formation, celebration, or recognition of any marriage, based upon or in a manner consistent with a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction,” it reads in part.
“The state government shall not take any discriminatory action against a person wholly or partially on the basis that the person establishes sex-specific standards or policies concerning employee or student dress or grooming, or concerning access to restrooms, spas, baths, showers, dressing rooms, locker rooms, or other intimate facilities or settings…”
Homosexual advocacy groups have expressed opposition to the legislation, asserting that it is discriminatory. Earlier this week, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Mississippi, the Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood Southeast and the Southern Poverty Law Center gathered outside of Bryant’s mansion to urge him to veto the bill.
“H.B. 1523 is a vicious, unacceptable attack on fairness, equality and the rights of LGBT people,” HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement. “Fair-minded Mississippians and the business community roundly condemn this legislation, and implore Governor Bryant and legislative leaders to stand on the right side of history…”
The Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi also released a statement remarking that it “stands as one with our brothers and sisters in the LGBT community and the Human Rights Campaign.”
“Many of them share a Christian faith that is deep and profound. We should embrace their quest for equality and justice rather than placing obstacles in their pathway,” it said.
But others have expressed support for the measure, opining that no one should be forced to do anything that violates their faith and causes them to facilitate another man’s sins.
“No person should be punished by the government with crippling fines or face disqualification for simply believing what President Obama believed just a few years ago, that marriage is the union of a man and a woman,” said Family Research Council President Tony Perkins in a statement.
“Big business and Hollywood have engaged in economic blackmail in Mississippi just like they have in Indiana, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas to try to force government discrimination of those who support natural marriage,” he said. “However, unlike Indiana and Georgia, leaders in Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas have chosen to defend the fundamental freedom of their citizens to believe and live according to those beliefs, rather than capitulate to the economic threats of big business and entertainment.”
“Mississippians from all walks of life believe that the government shouldn’t punish someone because of their views on marriage,” also stated Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel Kellie Fiedorek. “After all, you’re not free if your beliefs are confined to your mind. What makes America unique is our freedom to peacefully live out those beliefs, and the Constitution protects that freedom.” _______________________________________________________ SEE ALSO:

CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE SEARCHES APARTMENT OF MAN BEHIND PLANNED PARENTHOOD EXPOSE'
LOS ANGELES — Representatives from the California attorney general’s office searched the apartment of the pro-life investigator behind the series of expose’ videos on Planned Parenthood’s harvesting and sale of aborted children.
“The California Attorney General’s office, led by Kamala Harris, [who] Planned Parenthood supported with thousands of dollars, is now searching David’s apartment,” the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) posted on Facebook on Tuesday.
As previously reported, David Daleiden, the director of CMP was indicted in January on a felony charge of “tampering with a governmental record” for creating a fake driver’s license in conducting his undercover investigation, as well as a misdemeanor count related to the purchasing of aborted babies.
Daleiden, 27, had posed as a representative of a fetal tissue procurement company in order to engage in discussions with Planned Parenthood officials as a potential buyer of bodily organs. He recorded the interactions, conducted at various locations across the country, as part of his “human capital” investigative series that was released last July.
The first of nearly a dozen videos was released by CMP featured Planned Parenthood Medical Director Deborah Nucatola, who nonchalantly munched on salad and sipped wine as she talked about adjusting the child so as not to crush certain organs due to the demand for the body part.
“I’d say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps,” she explains.
“[Y]ou’re just kind of cognizant where you put your graspers,” Nucatola outlines. “You try to intentionally go above and below the thorax, so that—-you know. We’ve been very good at getting the heart, lung, liver, 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.’”
The second video showed Mary Gatter, the president of Planned Parenthood’s Medical Directors Council, haggling with the undercover investigators about the compensation for the fetal organs, laughing, “I want a Lamborghini.” Other footage showed an actual aborted baby being dissected in a dish, with an assistant declaring, “Another boy!” and another video showed an abortionist laughing about how harvesting an intact baby head would be “something to strive for.”
Planned Parenthood apologized for the insensitive “tone” of the first video, but denied that it profits from its agreements with scientific organizations. It soon announced that it would stop receiving reimbursement for “expenses” surrounding the provision of body parts of aborted babies. The abortion giant argued that the dead babies were beneficial in research to find cures for diseases.
On Tuesday, Harris’ office searched Daleiden’s apartment and seized all of his videos from the undercover investigation. Daleiden posted a statement afterward, remarking that the investigation is lopsided as Harris’ office ignored information surrounding the working relationship between former buyer StemExpress and Planned Parenthood. StemExpress discontinued its work with the abortion giant after CMP released videos revealing its involvement with the organization.
“Today, the California Attorney General’s office of Kamala Harris, who was elected with tens of thousands of dollars from taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood, seized all video footage showing Planned Parenthood’s criminal trade in aborted baby parts, in addition to my personal information,” Daleiden wrote.
“Ironically, while seizing my First Amendment work product, they ignored documents showing the illicit scheme between StemExpress and Planned Parenthood,” he said. “This is no surprise—Planned Parenthood’s bought-and-paid-for AG has steadfastly refused to enforce the law against the baby body parts traffickers in our state, or even investigate them—while at the same time doing their bidding to harass and intimidate citizen journalists.”
Daleiden vowed to “pursue all remedies to vindicate [his] First Amendment rights.”
The Center for Medical Progress issued a response stating they would not be intimidated by the government or Planned Parenthood following a raid on its founder’s home Tuesday.
A message posted to the Center’s Facebook page Wednesday revealed the organization had no intention of backing off their startling allegations accusing Planned Parenthood of running an “illegal baby-parts-for-profit scheme.”
California is the focal point of Planned Parenthood's illegal baby-parts-for-profit scheme. StemExpress partnered with…
“California is the focal point of Planned Parenthood’s illegal baby-parts-for-profit scheme,” the statement reads. “StemExpress partnered with the biggest Planned Parenthood affiliate in the country, PP Mar Monte in northern CA, for 5 years to give them a ‘financial benefit.’”
The group further noted they “won’t back down or be intimidated by government corruption.”
The doubling down comes days after the California attorney general ordered a raid on Center for Medical Progress founder David Daleiden’s home, seizing files and his “First Amendment work product.”
Daleiden said investigators “seized all video footage showing Planned Parenthood’s criminal trade in aborted baby parts, in addition to my personal information.”
But he also added investigators during the raid had failed to obtain documents showing “the illicit scheme between StemExpress and Planned Parenthood.”
“This is no surprise—Planned Parenthood’s bought-and-paid-for AG has steadfastly refused to enforce the law against the baby body part traffickers in our state, or even investigate them—while at the same time doing their bidding to harass and intimidate citizen journalists,” Daleiden wrote yesterday.
The California Attorney General refused to release details regarding the raid, telling USA Today they couldn’t comment on an ongoing investigation.
Earlier this year, Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit in San Francisco district court against the Center for Medical Progress, accusing the pro-life group of carrying out illegal secret recordings, invading its associates’ privacy and alleging they waged a “reckless and malicious smear campaign that was designed only to spread lies about Planned Parenthood,” according to the company’s chief executive in California.
Daleiden responded that he would be pleased to take the matter to court for an opportunity to expose the leaders of the organization behind the gruesome practice.
“Game on,” Daleiden said. “I look forward to deposing all the CEOs, medical directors and their co-conspirators who participated in Planned Parenthood’s illegal baby body parts racket.”
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/apr/6/kamala-harris-california-ag-behind-daleiden-raid-s/; EXCERPTS: "Meanwhile, agents from her office searched Mr. Daleiden’s apartment Tuesday in Orange County, seizing his laptop and multiple hard drives while attempting to take his phone as he was speaking to his attorneys, according to sources close to Mr. Daleiden, lead investigator for the pro-life Center for Medical Progress. The reaction from Mr. Daleiden’s corner was swift, with one of his attorneys describing the raid as “an oppressive abuse of government power.” “It is no secret that Harris is in bed with Planned Parenthood,” Mr. O’Keefe said. “Her 2014 AG campaign received donations from multiple Planned Parenthood PACs and her 2016 U.S. Senate race has already received personal donations from senior Planned Parenthood players.” Mr. Daleiden has also challenged Ms. Harris’s objectivity, calling her the “bought-and-paid-for AG” who has “refused to enforce the law against the baby body parts traffickers in our state, or even investigate them — while at the same time doing their bidding to harass and intimidate citizen journalists.”"
