Newscum Strikes Again: Pro-Abortion Billboards (in other states) and New Abortion Laws

Just when you think Gavin Newsom couldn’t be any more arrogantly clueless, he proves otherwise.

After Gov. Gavin Newsom placed pro-abortion billboards as part of his re-election campaign advertisements in states restricting abortions, Christians in California are responding.

On Sept. 15, Newsom, a Democrat, announced several versions of billboard advertisements that would be going up across seven states.

California is a “sanctuary state” for women seeking an abortion.

“Just launched billboards in 7 of the most restrictive anti-abortion states that explain how women can access care–no matter where they live. To any woman seeking an abortion in these anti-freedom states: CA will defend your right to make decisions about your own health,” Newsom wrote on Twitter.

One of the billboards placed in Oklahoma and Indiana, which reads “Need an abortion? California is ready to help” also included a verse from the Bible, “Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these,” quoted from Mark 12:31.

Pastor John MacArthur of Grace Community Church in Los Angeles responded in an open letter to Newsom on Sept. 28, calling the governor’s actions “thoroughly rebellious against God” and that the billboards promote “the slaughter of children, whom He creates in the womb.”

“You further compounded the wickedness of that murderous campaign with a reprehensible act of gross blasphemy, quoting the very words of Jesus from Mark 12:31 as if you could somehow twist His meaning and arrogate His name in favor of butchering unborn infants,” MacArthur wrote.

MacArthur, 83, added the inclusion of scripture made it hard to “imagine a greater sacrilege.”

Kathleen Domingo, executive director of the California Catholic Conference—a public policy advocacy group for the Catholic Church in California—told The Epoch Times that the billboards are “unconscionable” and “co-opt” the meaning of Jesus’s words in the verse.

“He’s twisting the meaning of what Jesus and the Christian community meant for the last 2,000 years by this particular passage and using it to describe something that the Christian community traditionally has seen as absolutely adverse to their teachings,” Domingo said.

The advertisements placed in conservative states are nothing more than “political theater,” she added.

“The reaction even of the Christian community is probably what he was hoping for,” she said.

In the aftermath of Roe v. Wade being overturned on June 24, California’s Democratic lawmakers drafted bills to codify its abortion procedures into the state’s constitution. Newsom signed 13 bills that make abortion more accessible on Sept. 27, deeming California a “sanctuary state” for women seeking abortion.

This month, California also launched a taxpayer-funded website connecting women with abortion resources and services, including how to seek financial assistance.

Newsom promotes that website on 18 billboards placed in seven states: Oklahoma, Mississippi, South Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, Indiana, and Texas. Each of those states has enacted some restrictions on abortion.

“An alarming number of states continue to outlaw abortion and criminalize women, and it’s more important than ever to fight like hell for those who need these essential services,” Newsom said in a Sept. 27 statement. “We’re doing everything we can to protect people from any retaliation for accessing abortion care while also making it more affordable to get contraceptives.”

Some of the state legislation signed include Senate Bill 1245, by Sen. Sydney Kamlager (D-Los Angeles), Senate Bill 1375 by Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), and Assembly Bill 2223 by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland).

SB 1245 allocates $20 million to a Los Angeles County abortion pilot program, and SB 1375 will permit trained nurses to perform abortion in the first trimester without the supervision of a physician.

Decried by opponents as an “infanticide” bill, AB 2223 will shield mothers and certified medical providers from criminal prosecution in infant deaths resulting from “causes that occurred in utero” up to days after birth.

The California Family Council—a pro-life, “biblically faithful” nonprofit—also condemned the governor for signing the abortion bills in a Sept. 27 statement, saying the move was “meant to transform the state into a destination location for the country’s abortions.”

“With today’s abortion expansion, Gavin Newsom continues his shadow campaign for [the U.S.] president. By signing these 13 bills from the Future of Abortion Council, Newsom hopes to secure his spot in the White House at the expense of women and their unborn children,” the nonprofit’s President Jonathan Keller said in the statement. “Governor Newsom tells pregnant women California has their back, but only if they choose to end their pregnancies. This package provides NO care for women who choose to keep their children. Gavin’s not pro-choice; he’s no choice.”

All Senator Murray has to show for 30 years is supporting abortion. The Seattle Times, Starbucks and the Seattle Seahawks each, over the past few weeks, has objected to Smiley campaign ads that contain the companies’ corporate logos.

The race in Washington state for US Senate has gotten real close. So now the MSM and other far left organizations have started to pile on the Republican candidate.

The Seattle Times, Starbucks and the Seattle Seahawks each, over the past few weeks, has objected to the Tiffany Smiley campaign ads that contain the companies’ corporate logos.

The Seattle Times is threatening Tiffany Smiley for using an image from their report on Starbucks closing its doors. This same leftist paper allowed Murray to use their logo and headlines for her 2016 campaign.

Judge in Arizona again tells Planned Murder-Hood you can’t kill babies

Planned Parenthood again tried to get a judge to allow them to resume their mass killing of babies. Again the judge said no.

An Arizona judge rejected a plea from Planned Parenthood on Friday to suspend a previous rule that halts all abortions in the state.

Last Friday, Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson announced a decision to allow enforcement of a pre-statehood law that makes it a crime to perform an abortion. This Friday, she rejected the appeal to suspend that ruling.

In her decision, Johnson said abortion rights groups are not likely to prevail in appealing her initial decision so the abortion ban should remain enforceable.

How funny is this from Arizona PP.

Brittany Fonteno, Planned Parenthood of Arizona President and CEO, said she was “outraged” by the ruling.

YouTube Apologizes, Reverses Demonetization Decision

You Tube up to it's old tricks Matt Orfalea Photo

 

Originally found here by Matt Taibbi

YouTube reverses a decision to demonetize a video produced by Matt Orfalea for TK. However, there’s a new issue with a second video

Earlier today, YouTube demonetized an item Matt Orfalea produced for TK. The video, Democrats’ Stolen Election Claims, has been remonetized, as the company has corrected what it characterizes a mistake. We’ve thanked them for doing so. From a pair of tweets earlier this evening:

Twitter avatar for @TeamYouTubeTeamYouTube @TeamYouTube

@mtaibbi @0rf @YouTube we’ve followed up regarding this here! so sorry about the mistake 😥

TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube

@mtaibbi hey there – after careful review by our teams…the video is now monetizing 🙏

September 30th 2022

2 Retweets

As we learned this, however, Matt was informed of a problem with a second video we released today. “Rigged” Election Claims | Trump 2020 vs Clinton 2016 was also demonetized, and apparently remains demonetized:

Given that the company was prompt in its first review and came to a correct decision, I’m hopeful this issue will also be fixed, and thanks will shortly be in order again. I obviously don’t want to take up too much of anyone’s time with this, so unless a problem continues, we’ll close the book on the matter with this update.

Editor’s Note: In response to a subscriber question, one of the points underscored by Matt Orfalea’s videos is that YouTube routinely allows behavior in violation of its guidelines. Today’s compilations of clips showing people decrying the 2016 election as “illegitimate” or “stolen” contradicts the company’s clear prohibition with regard to:

Whether the firm prohibits such behavior or not, it should be consistent, and isn’t.

Joe is doing terrible in the White House so now he’s trying his luck at being a Medium?

We all know what a terrible job Joe’s done, and the gaffs have made him world famous. But now he’s trying to speak to the dead? He was at a service honouring the dead Congresswoman but that didn’t stop Joe.

Joe Biden appeared to call out the late Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., who died in a car wreck in August, for being in attendance during a speech Wednesday at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.

Biden thanked “all of you here,” singling out Walorski and other lawmakers, for their work on hunger as he spoke about his administration’s efforts to end hunger in the U.S. by 2030.

“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie? I don’t think – she was going to be here,” Biden said. Joe’s first gig as a Medium was a bomb out.

Category 3 Ian Trashes Cuba’s Ailing Power Grid.

After Ian passed through

Cuba entirely without power after Ian caused grid to collapse.

Some areas start seeing power restored on Wednesday, but…

By  for Reuters

PINAR DEL RIO, Cuba, Sept 27 (Reuters) – Cuba’s electrical grid collapsed late on Tuesday, local officials said, leaving the entire country in the dark shortly after Hurricane Ian plowed through the western end of the island leaving a path of destruction in its wake.

The sprawling Category 3 hurricane was barreling north towards the Dry Tortugas, off the Florida Keys, late on Tuesday, with maximum sustained winds of 120 miles per hour (195 km per hour), the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.

Cuba’s electrical grid – decades-old and in desperate need of modernization, has been faltering for months with blackouts an everyday event across much of the island.

“There is no electricity service in any part of the country right now.”

But officials said the storm had proven to be too much for the system, provoking a failure that shut off the lights for the island’s 11.3 million people.

“The system was already operating under complex conditions with the passage of Hurricane Ian,” said Lazaro Guerra, technical director of Cuba’s Electricity Union. “There is no electricity service in any part of the country right now.”

He said the union would work through the night and into Wednesday to restore power as soon as possible.

The countrywide blackout added insult to injury for exhausted Cubans.

Mayelin Suarez, a street vendor who sells ice cream in the provincial capital, called the night of the storm’s passage the “the darkest of her life.”

“We almost lost the roof off our house,” Suarez told Reuters, her voice trembling. “My daughter, my husband and I tied it down with a rope to keep it from flying away.”

The hurricane hit Cuba at a time of dire economic crisis. Blackouts and long-running shortages of food, medicine and fuel are likely to complicate efforts to recover from Ian.

“Ian has done away with what little we had left,” said Omar Avila, a worker at butcher shop in Pinar del Rio. “It’s a horrible disaster.”

Ian made landfall in Cuba’s Pinar del Rio Province early on Tuesday, prompting officials early on to cut power to the entire province of 850,000 people as a precautionary measure and evacuate 40,000 people from low-lying coastal areas, according to local media reports. The storm left at least two dead in western Cuba, state-run media reported.

Violent wind gusts shattered windows and ripped metal roofs off homes and buildings throughout the region, where many houses are decades old and infrastructure is antiquated. Roads into the areas directly hit by the hurricane remained impassable, blocked by downed trees and powerlines.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Ana Julia Gomez, a 56-year-old woman who lives alone in Pinar del Rio, as she surveyed the wreckage inside her home. “I lost everything; nothing is left.”

Pinar del Rio Province is a rural, lightly populated region but a top producer of farm crops and tobacco. State-run media said farmers had secured 33,000 tonnes of tobacco in storage from prior harvests, but many farms buildings, made with thatched palm roofs, had been flattened by the storm.

“Sometimes hurricanes pass through here, but not of this magnitude,” said Abel Hernandez, a 49-year-old tobacco farmer. “It destroyed our houses, our drying huts, our farms, the fruit trees, everything.”

Neighboring Artemisa Province, nearer Havana, reported that 40% of its banana plantations had been damaged by the storm.

LIGHTS OUT

Havana appeared to have escaped the brunt of the storm although rain and strong winds uprooted trees, flooded low-lying areas and left many of the city’s roadways impassable.

By 8 p.m. local time Tuesday, it appeared that virtually all of the city was without power, with only some of the larger tourist hotels still lit by generators.

Further north, in Florida, residents and officials were hunkering down in anticipation of what the NHC called a “large and destructive hurricane.”

Ian is expected to bring winds of up to 130 mph and as much as 2 feet of rain to the Tampa area on Florida’s Gulf Coast starting early on Wednesday through Thursday evening, the National Weather Service said.

A hurricane warning has been extended to portions of far southwestern Florida as the storm’s path veered slightly from previous predictions.

The storm surge along Florida’s Gulf Coast could cause devastating to catastrophic damage with some locations potentially uninhabitable for weeks or months, the service warned, urging residents to move to safe shelter before the storm’s arrival.

Shot for her beliefs? Woman Shot Handing Out Pro-Life Literature in Michigan

Shot for her beliefs? Woman Shot Handing Out Pro-Life Literature in Michigan. For months now the left was saying how the pro life folks were coming after a woman’s right to kill her baby. Well who’s doing the shooting? Another case of Senior citizens being attacked.

We have this report from CNA.

An 84-year-old pro-life volunteer was shot on Sept. 20 while going door-to-door in her community to talk about a ballot measure concerning abortion in Michigan, the group she was volunteering with said.

The woman from Lake Odessa was speaking about Proposal 3, a proposed state constitutional amendment that would advance abortion, according to a Right to Life of Michigan (RLM) press release.

The press release said that the woman was shot in the back-shoulder area while leaving a residence during a heated conversation. The man who shot her was not involved in the conversation and the pro-life volunteer does not know his identity or motive.

Local news outlet WOOD TV8 reported police as saying that the pro-life volunteer was handing out pamphlets when she was shot, after getting into what police called an “alleged verbal altercation.”

The outlet noted that, after getting shot, the woman drove herself to the Lake Odessa Police Department. From there, she was taken to the hospital where she was treated and released.

The RLM press release said that the Michigan State Police are investigating the case, and will forward the results to the Ionia County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

About That Trump Youngstown, Ohio Rally Hillary Clinton Likened to a Nazi Rally: TGP Report

The man, the myth the legend. Winning.

Thanks Gateway Pundit for a great report.

Rumor has it  a small delegation ( California, Washington state, Florida, and the new soft porn capital New Mexico ) was going to come and protest. Until they found out they didn’t have enough Popeye’s chicken and orange drink to make it.

President Trump held a rally in Youngstown, Ohio the previous weekend for Republican U.S. Senate nominee J.D. Vance and other Ohio GOP candidates for federal and state offices. The rally was held at the mid-sized Covelli Center and drew an enthusiastic crowd of over 6,000, falling a few hundred short of a ‘sellout’, but a great crowd in a deep blue part of Ohio (while Ohio State played a home game against Toledo.)

The rally became controversial because Hillary Clinton and the media smeared Trump supporters at the rally as being like Nazis for raising their arms and index fingesr during the closing remarks of Trump’s speech. The gesture was seen by churchgoers as an ‘altar call’ response to a very moving passage by Trump that was set to soft, mournful music and describes America’s swift downfall since Trump left office in January 2021. Others saw a ‘Q Anon’ salute and accused Trump of playing footsie with Q Anon, while others like Hillary likened the rally to Hitler’s night rallies.

https://youtu.be/B_iH5nCn8qQ

See for yourself what kind of people were at the Trump rally.

This video (in two parts) shows some people in the crowd raising their arms in the same manner while a recording of Elvis Presley singing An American Trilogy played right before Trump was introduced. Note the loud cheers at the end as Elvis thunders, “His truth is marching on.”

I saw the Hasidic men after the rally. They stayed to the end. No one bothered them, no one attacked them.

Joe’s secure border. Phoenix police detectives seized approximately one million fentanyl pills in a suburban home.

What Biden's secure border looks like. Phoenix Police/Maricopa County Sheriff

So Joe and his friends said that the border is secure. Locked down. They even say that Republicans complaining only invites more criminals to this secure border. If this border is so secure, why is this happening? This from Breitbart and the Phoenix PD.

Phoenix police detectives seized approximately one million fentanyl pills in a suburban home. Detectives arrested two suspected drug traffickers and seized a handgun in what they call the largest one-time seizure of fentanyl pills in the department’s history.

Phoenix police officials tweeted photos of fentanyl pills seized while executing a search warrant on a suburban home. The photos show what police described as 950,000 fentanyl pills.
