Remember When Hillary Chatted With Eleanor Roosevelt?

CONFUSION: Biden says 'Margaret Thatcher' called him with concerns about Trump... Biden also called President Trump a "clown" and an SOB while saying he didn't want to play the "nickname" game. This all happened while Biden campaigns in South Carolina. 😮

Another Big Victory For Religious Liberty!

Following is a special message from CatholicVote, catholicvote.org The Trump administration has done it again.  Another victory for religious liberty… and life!  Just yesterday I attended the National Day of Prayer at the White House where the President announced that they have finalized a rule to ensure conscience protections for health care professionals.  The new rule ensures that doctors, nurses, and other health care workers will not be forced to violate their conscience by participating in unethical procedures such as abortion, sterilizations, or assisted suicide.  IMPORTANT: Americans want affordable health care. But they also want ethical health care. They don’t want Catholic doctors, nurses and other health care workers driven from the industry because of their refusal to participate in so-called “care” which they consider immoral -- and often unhealthy, too.  But this new rule also underlines a key point: What a difference the presidency makes.  REMEMBER: The Obama administration worked to limit conscience rights for health care professionals at every turn. They rebuffed several efforts to add conscience rights to their health care law -- and actually replaced a robust conscience rule issued by President George W. Bush in favor of a much narrower rule.  Archbishop Joseph Naumann and Archbishop Joseph Kurtz yesterday applauded the new rule: “We strongly commend the Department of Health and Human Services for adopting important new regulations to ensure that existing laws protecting the rights of conscience in health care are known, followed and enforced. Though these laws were passed on a bipartisan basis and have been policy for years, the previous administration did not fully enforce them, and now they are increasingly being violated.”  Not only did the Trump administration reverse the harmful actions of the Obama administration, we are now seeing a restoration of conscience rights and religious liberty for doctors, nurses, and health care workers all over the country.  And it’s not just better policy on paper. The Trump administration is promising to vigorously enforce these conscience protections.  For example...  Hospitals that receive government funding will not be able to fire health care workers who exercise their conscience rights. “Laws prohibiting government funded discrimination against conscience and religious freedom will be enforced like every other civil rights law,” said Roger Severino, director of the Office of Civil Rights for the Department of Health and Human Services.  The Department of Health and Human Services will use robust enforcement tools to investigate complaints and conduct investigations. The agency is empowered to make enforcement referrals to the Justice Department.  And these new rules will apply to the following entities:  Federal agencies, state and local governments receiving federal funds Public and private health providers that receive funds from HHS Universities and schools that provide health care training This is a bold and necessary step to restoring ethical health care across America. And we applaud these executive actions.  But it’s worth remembering that it can all be wiped away by a stroke of a pen -- if the wrong person is elected president next year.  Yesterday was a perfect example of everything that’s at stake in 2020. Planned Parenthood immediately attacked these new conscience protections, which means the Democrats running for president and (seeking their endorsement) will almost certainly attempt to roll them back -- if given the chance.  We’re making so much progress.  It would be tragic to reverse course.  Brian Birch, President, www.catholicvote.org

The MUST SEE Video Of The Moment!

"I get up on a chair, and I scream out loud, with my finger dangling and bleeding, and I say the most powerful words: 'Am Yisrael Chai - The Nation of Israel is Alive!'"
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein describes his message to his congregation moments after being shot during the California synagogue attack.

Oh, Those Jobs Figures And Economic Numbers!

Jobs Surge in April, Unemployment Rate Falls to  the Lowest Since 1969 “The U.S. jobs machine kept humming along in April, adding a robust 263,000 new hires while the unemployment rate fell to 3.6%, the lowest in a generation, according to a Labor Department report Friday,” Jeff Cox reports in CNBC. The American economy “easily beat Wall Street expectations of 190,000 and a 3.8% jobless rate.” Click here to read more.

“President Donald Trump hits a new high on his economic approval ratings in a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS, reaching 56% of Americans saying he's doing a good job on the economy,” Grace Sparks reports for CNN. “At the same time, Trump's favorability rating has hit its highest point since the 100-day mark of his presidency.”

“Doing her best to raise the level of civility in Washington, Nancy Pelosi called William Barr a liar on Thursday . . . The real reason for Mrs. Pelosi’s slander is what else Mr. Barr said the last time he was before Congress. He said that spying on a political campaign was a ‘big deal,’ that he thought the FBI did spy on the Trump campaign in 2016, and that he intends to find out what happened and why,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes.

“What is perhaps most notable about this episode is that Robert Mueller — or, perhaps, as Barr hinted in his Wednesday testimony, people around him — were concerned about the media coverage and political discussion around his report. Particularly troubling was that it wasn’t damning enough of the president. This is not a prosecutorial concern, but a political one unworthy of people who were invested with incredible investigative power in the name of objectivity,” the National Review editorial board writes. “Bill Barr’s critics are demonstrating their lack of judgment and seriousness, not his.”

“Only about 15 percent of America’s students have a reasonable understanding of American history. And the numbers look just as bleak in other core subjects,” Education Secretary Betsy DeVos writes in the New York Post. “There are many who propose we spend even more on doing the same thing over and over again. Albert Einstein called this ‘insanity.’ . . . Students deserve something different. And actually doing something different demands courage to confront a powerful and pernicious establishment — one that opposes change in education.”

And THIS Is The Biggest Joke Of All . . .
