A prominent lawmaker in the leftist state of Colorado has turned gruesome in her demands that the state promote abortion: She’s insisting that the killing of unborn children is better for the state because births are “more expensive.”

It is Julie McCluskie, a Colorado Democrat and extremist on abortion, who said, “Births will not occur because abortions happened instead. A birth is more expensive than an abortion. … The savings comes in Medicaid births that will not occur.”

She is the speaker of the Colorado House, and continued, “Savings from averted births outweigh the cost of covering reproductive health care for all Coloradans.”

SHOCKING: Speaker Julie McCluskie (D) is effectively encouraging Coloradans on Medicaid to have an abortion instead of giving birth, because it’s cheaper for the state.

A report at the Gateway Pundit took McCluskie to task, explaining the Democrat “has gone so far in supporting abortion, she’s reducing the decision to murder babies to a cost-benefit analysis.”

McCluskie was promoting her own bill, and agenda, in an attempt to demand that taxpayers cover “abortion care services” in Medicaid and the Child Health Plan Plus. That scheme essentially involves abortion corporations routinely getting huge checks from taxpayers.

Her agenda also demands that public employee insurance plans cover killing the unborn.

The report explained, “She reduced pregnancy and life to a price tag, concluding that those children should just die because it’s cheaper. … She was essentially saying that expectant mothers should kill their children rather than give birth, because it would be cheaper for the government.”

In fact, McCluskie claimed, “This bill will actually decrease costs for our Healthcare Policy and Financing Department, our Medicaid expenditures in both this year and out years, as the savings from averted births outweigh the cost of covering reproductive health care for all Coloradans.”

The Gateway Pundit pointed out, “Anyone who looks at children and childbirth in such cold, calculating terms has truly gone down an evil path.”

 

The Trump administration made an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court hear its case for using the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of a Venezuelan gang, CNN reported.

The alleged members were sent to an El Salvador prison.

The administration is asking the high court to reverse an order from U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, of the District of Columbia,  blocking further deportations under the act.

“This case presents fundamental questions about who decides how to conduct sensitive national-security-related operations in this country—the President, through Article II, or the Judiciary, through TROs. The Constitution supplies a clear answer: the President,” Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris wrote, according to NBC News. “The republic cannot afford a different choice.”

A federal appeals court, in a 2-1 ruling, denied the Trump administration’s request to lift a temporary restraining order by Boasberg.

Boasberg, an appointee of President Barack Obama, issued a restraining order against Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1789 to deport illegal immigrants believed to be part of Tren de Aragua.

However, the alleged gang members were already in international air space when the judge issued his written ruling, on the way to detention in El Salvador.

Tren de Aragua is a Venezuelan gang, which the Trump administration designated as a terrorist organization. The 1798 Alien Enemies Act allows a president to fast-track the removals under national security concerns.

Trump has called for Boasberg to be impeached.

A catastrophic 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Mandalay, Myanmar’s second largest city, on Friday, leaving behind a landscape of rubble from collapsed buildings and a death toll feared to be in the thousands.

The quake, also was felt in Thailand and China, was measured by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Officials in nearby Naypyidaw hospital declared their area to be a “mass casualty area.”

“I haven’t seen (something) like this before. We are trying to handle the situation. I’m so exhausted now,” a physician on duty explained the AFP.

Ian Main, a professor in seismology at the University of Edinburgh, told the Daily Mail, “The damage is likely to be very severe near the epicenter- based on the estimated intensity of ground shaking above, and maps of population density and vulnerability of buildings.

“The USGS ‘PAGER’ forecast loss is, sadly, most likely to be in the range 10,000-100,000 fatalities,” he said.

A 30-story building under construction in Bangkok collapsed.

Reports of fatalities were trickling in and hundreds of people were missing.

“I heard people calling for help, saying ‘help me,’” Worapat Sukthai, deputy police chief of Bang Sue district, told AFP.
“I fear many lives have been lost. We have never experienced an earthquake with such a devastating impact before.”

The quake struck about 1:30 p.m. local time.

Kelly Rhodes, a tourist on Bangkok, told MailOnline of being evacuated 24 flights of steps down.

Water splashed out and cascaded down the sides of highrises with rooftop pools.

“All of a sudden the whole building began to move, immediately there was screaming and a lot of panic,” Fraser Morton, a tourist from Scotland, told the Daily Mail. “I just started walking calmly at first but then the building started really moving, yeah, a lot of screaming, a lot of panic, people running the wrong way down the escalators, lots of banging and crashing inside the mall.”

Rows of people were lined up at emergency rooms.

The Red Cross issuedaa warning about the threat that remained to large dams in the area, offering the potential for major flooding.

A political party cannot broaden its appeal if it demands that transgenderism is real, that individual people may define the meaning and the use of language, if incompetence, race or sex is purposefully promoted over superior talent, or the idea one must accept that human activity controls the weather. There are only so many fools in the crowd.

The Democrat Party ideology today is unyielding even when challenged by logic. For instance, how wide is the appeal of the argument America was founded and always has been a white state built on slavery? How popular and attractive is the assertion Christianity is the foundation of that slave state coupled with the sacrilege that humans can create new sexes?

Right now it is tax time, and as the American family comes face to face with the cost of government, the Democrat leadership is using the courts to prevent the Trump administration from reducing the financial burdens of that bloated bureaucracy. The Democrat position is that every dollar of that $36 trillion national debt was wisely spent.

Also, the Democrat Party is inching very close to “death to the Jews” foreign policy and to nuclear war.

So what is the attraction for Americans who work that 40-hour week?

How many times do Democrats have to tell Americans democracy is at stake if they do not support Democrats? How many times do Americans have to be told they cannot do what they always have done because climate change is a catastrophic threat? Mask up or else. No, you cannot visit your dying mother in the hospital. You cannot build there because an endangered weed was found on the property. Criminals should not be punished as they steal to survive. It is endless nonsense.

Rigid ideology has replaced human reason, compassion and common sense in what remains of the Democrat Party – so much so a sitting congressional Democrat ridicules a Republican governor who had the misfortune of having a crippling accident, and that woman still has a seat in the House of Representatives. Why? A person with such a self-demonstrated lack of humanity and judgment should be cleaning up dog kennels, not participating in the creation of laws governing a nation.

The Democrat Party problem is real, and may not be solvable. The party has wrapped itself in ideologies foreign to the American experience, and the essence of these ideologies is the rigidity each requires to survive.

Imagine the Democrat Party convention to discuss the future: In this corner we have the nuke Russia crowd, in the opposition corner the destroy Israel crowd. In the third corner we have the transgender crowd, and across them are the open-borders adherents who are now migrating to the idea of eliminating voter registration as a prelude to terminating the republic.

When a political party has nothing left to offer but really bad ideas, and its advocates refuse to accept any compromises, it is only a matter of time before the political obituary is written. The world was given a preview of a party blinded by ideology during President Trump’s address to Congress, as the ideologues refused to participate and engaged in sign-waving protests. Obviously, if Donald Trump said it, they opposed it.

What is not known about that impending political obituary is the name of the deceased. Will it be America, or will it be the Democrat Party? National survival demands two political parties that share one common purpose, the survival of the republic.

This week, all hell broke loose in the media when Jeffrey Goldberg, left-leaning editor of The Atlantic, revealed that he had been accidentally included in a group chat with the top members of the Trump national security team. According to a Signal thread revealed by Goldberg, he was invited in by national security adviser Michael Waltz; other participants included Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller and a multitude of other Cabinet officials. The thread included an open consideration about whether and how to strike the terrorist Houthis in Yemen; it also culminated in announcements of imminent and then ongoing military action against the Houthis.

National security conversations should not include members of the press, of course. And presumably one of two things occurred: Either Waltz and his team meant to include the U.S. Trade Representative, Jamieson Greer (JG), and instead included Jeffrey Goldberg (JG); or someone changed one of the numbers in Waltz’s phone such that a national security official’s name appeared atop Goldberg’s number. This is, of course, a serious mistake. It is not, however, a scandal of major magnitude.

There are two reasons for that.

First, this was obviously a mistake. It was not a purposeful leak of intelligence information to our enemies. And Hegseth has claimed that it did not include names, targets, locations, units, routes, sources, methods or other classified information. This would mean that no criminal activity occurred.

Second, procedure-based scandals have gone the way of the dodo bird. When James Comey refused to prosecute Hillary Clinton in 2016 on the basis that she had not intended to disseminate classified information – and that her negligent handling of classified information did not constitute lawbreaking – he essentially wiped out all similar potential scandals in the future. When the Department of Justice doubled down on that approach with regard to President Joe Biden’s classified documents violations, that perspective was reinforced. That’s why when the DOJ targeted President Trump over classified documents violations, the right correctly responded with outrage.

This scandal is procedural in nature. It doesn’t match up to the ire unleashed by some of the Trump administration’s loudest critics. One cannot help but guffaw while listening to Susan Rice – who presided over the Russian invasion of Crimea as Obama’s national security adviser, and then served in the Biden administration as he presided over the collapse of Afghanistan – label the Signal chat “the biggest national security debacle that any professional can remember.” Unless they have short-term memory loss, those professionals would presumably rule any of the Obama and Biden-era foreign policy disasters far greater national security debacles.

And herein lies the rub. One could quite properly gasp at the inclusion of a journalist in sensitive internal deliberations. But the Trump administration’s deliberations, in material ways, were serious and cogent. Hegseth’s justification for the strike on the Houthis was spot on: “This not about the Houthis. I see it as two things: 1) Restoring Freedom of Navigation, a core national interest; and 2) Reestablish deterrence, which Biden cratered.” So was Waltz’s: “Whether we pull the plug or not today European navies do not have the capability to defend against the types of sophisticated, antiship, cruise missiles, and drones the Houthis are now using. So whether it’s now or several weeks from now, it will have to be the United States that reopens these shipping lanes.”

In the end, this is what Americans will care about: Is the Trump administration steadfastly pursuing American security? Caterwauling about breaches of national security on procedural grounds, coming from precisely the same people who have materially destroyed American national security, simply won’t play. Which is why Trump is right to ignore the critics and soldier on.

Persecution of Christians is common from Islamists, those who take the Quran’s instructions at face value and try to kill the “believers.”

It’s found routinely across the Middle East and North Africa, where Muslims often are the majority of the population.

But now there’s a new threat to those who follow the Bible: In India, where Hindus repeatedly have launched violent attacks.

A report from the American Center for Law and Justice describes the “disturbing escalation” in that activity against the minority Christians, who make up only 2.3% of the nation’s 1.4 billion population.

The “increasing hostility and violence” is not just about intolerance; “it’s about the fundamental human rights that are being violated every day,” the report said.

Last year, the United Christian Forum, which focuses on human rights, confirmed 834 instances of violence against Christians in India, up from 601 the year before.

“Sadly, these numbers do not include the instances that remain unreported,” the report noted, but they are a dramatic surge from the 150 such incidents documented in 2014.

The violence includes physical assaults, sexual assaults, and even murder.

The report said the explosion of anti-Christian violence has coincided with the surging influence of Hindu national groups such as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Bharatiya Janata Party political ideologies.

Those groups, both of which confirm Narendra Modi. the prime minister, as a member, “have been accused of inciting violence and exploiting communal tensions for political gain, as they shamefully portray Christians as a threat to Hindu culture and society,” the ACLJ reported.

The report noted Modi joined the RSS during his youth and it has influenced his politics, as he has maintained ties even as prime minister.

He also held various titles with the BJP.

The report warned, “One of the most troubling ways the government achieves its Hindu nationalism agenda is the use of anti-conversion laws. These laws, enacted in several states under the BJP’s rule, are ostensibly designed to prevent forced conversions. However, they are often used to target Christians, criminalizing legitimate religious activities and leading to the arrest and harassment of clergy members and other Christians.”

The agenda also includes denying Christians access to government programs given to Hindus.

The ACLJ warned, “The involvement of the BJP and RSS in the persecution of Christians is well-documented. The RSS, as the ideological mentor of the BJP, has been accused of inciting violence against Christians and other religious minorities. In October 2021, Mohan Bhagwat, the head of the RSS, made a speech warning Hindus about religious conversions and alleged ‘demographic changes’ in India’s northeastern states that have a large Christian population. This speech was followed by a series of violent attacks on Christians and churches across India.”

 

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US has revoked at least 300 foreign students’ visas as part of President Donald Trump’s effort to clamp down on pro-Palestinian protesters on university campuses.

“Maybe more than 300 at this point,” he said while speaking to reporters on a visit to Guyana. “We do it every day, every time I find one of these lunatics.”

Rubio was asked to confirm how many student visas the administration had revoked in its crackdown on rhetoric at universities that it considers anti-Israeli.

Joe Biden’s dogs “Major” and “Commander” already are known to have attacked White House personnel, bitten Secret Service agents and generally terrified staff members.

Now a new report confirms that the Bidens had a third dog, “Champ,” that also posed a threat.

A report in the Washington Examiner outlines the details uncovered by Judicial Watch, a government watchdog organization.

The report describes “Champ,” a German shepherd, as “so threatening that agents and outdoor staff were warned to stay away from the second family’s yard when the dog was out, and, failing that, they were advised to yell the dog’s name as he charged because he sometimes stopped when called.”

Those threats erupted while Biden was vice president, while incidents involving “Major” and “Commander” happened later, in the White House.

Judicial Watch reported getting Secret Service emails outline the dangers, through a Freedom of Information Act process.

Previous evidence showed that the other two Biden German shepherds, “Major” and “Commander” sometimes drew blood and ripped clothing, the report said.

“The attacks suggested that the Bidens were poor trainers and custodians of their pets. Judicial Watch had reported that the former president was, at times, cruel to his dogs. In one report, they quoted a source that said Biden ‘punched and kicked his dogs,’” the Examiner explained.

Judicial Watch chief Tom Fitton explained, “No wonder the Secret Service is a mess. Biden’s dogs terrorized agents and White House personnel for a decade, and nothing was done about it until Judicial Watch exposed the dangerous scandal.”

“Champ” was with the Bidens before he was elected president and moved into the White House with the family. He died in 2021.

A younger dog at the time, “Major” then succeeded, but was given to friends after being “aggressive around staff and security.”

Later, “Commander” was brought in by the Bidens, and he “attacked agents 24 times while the Bidens lived in the White House.”

Eventually, in 2023, he was “sent away.”

Judicial Watch released documentation of multiple concerns:

In 2012 a worker complained, “I need a couple of days off! Champ just tried to attack me!”

Hazard pay also became part of the discussion.

Judicial Watch said in another case, “A special agent in the Vice Presidential Protective Division reports a bite on the forearm, requiring a torn jacket to be repaired, and notes that an attack by Champ had occurred on each of the prior three days.”
