westernjournal--2020-03-01--Disgusting Video of Girl Fist-Pumping in Celebration of Her Abortion Goes Viral

The ability of human beings to be cruel and callous is sometimes shown for the entire world to see , but it is rare that the cruelty is so mirthfully documented by the perpetrators .
We have seen videos of war , murders and other atrocities , but a video circulating on the internet of two girls celebrating an apparent abortion is soul-crushing .
A video uploaded to the social media video sharing app TikTok shows the two young women dancing and laughing as they prepare to snuff out the life of an unborn baby .
Some users concluded it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abortion because the video is titled “ Abortion time !
TAKE 2 , ” and it shows just how far our society has come in making this monumental decision seem more like popping a pimple than ending a life .
The video starts with the two girls preparing to go to the Planned Parenthood clinic identified as being in Pasadena , California , for the abortion as the viewer can hear laughter in the background .
More laughter is heard as the video shows the two girls in the parking lot at Planned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patient , laughs .
Perhaps the most harrowing part of the video comes inside the clinic where the video shows two people in the clinic holding hands and clearly morose .
The video makers mock the two with the caption “ There ’ s two abortion moods.
” The girl who is presumably about to get the abortion is shown nodding her head and and fist pumping in the waiting room .
In the last part of the video the girl is shown in the procedure room about to get her abortion as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the baby about to be murdered .
This is the product of what the left as done to warp the minds of our youth .
To encourage people to “ shout your abortion ” as if it is a source of pride .
This is the consequence of celebrities and the media promoting the idea that ending the life of an unborn baby is somehow “ women power.
” RELATED : If Gun Murders Are 'Epidemic , ' Why Does NYT Call 10,000 Late-Term Abortions 'Exceedingly Rare ' ?
This is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so depraved and callous towards the most vulnerable among us that ending a baby ’ s life is seen as nothing more than a routine medical procedure .
And perhaps most importantly , this is the outcome of generations of teaching young people that they do not need to be responsible for themselves because there is an “ easy ” way out .
No need to use protection or only have sex when you are prepared for the possible consequences because you can always just kill the baby .
No need to wait @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serious relationship , for sex when there are not actual consequences for your actions .
When you will not only not have to feel shame for what you have done , you can celebrate it and have others consider you a hero for the atrocity you have committed .
This is a sign of a nation that has become so depraved , so evil and heartless that the idea of it getting any worse boggles the mind .
This is ultimately how societies and great civilizations crumble .
We have failed our children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming due .
It should be noted that the provenance of the video is unclear , and there ’ s really no way to know for certain whether the girl in this video was actually pregnant or had the abortion — but the damage the video could do is very real , regardless .
The way it promotes the blatant disregard for human life was already watched by around four million of TikTok ’ s users before it was picked up by the pro-life group Live Action , according to TheBlaze .
Forty-one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between 16 and 24 years old , according to the e-commerce site Oberlo .
That likely means millions of young minds were exposed through this video to the mentality that the taking of a human life in abortion isn ’ t just something to be tolerated but actually celebrated .
And , more frighteningly , the video falls in line with the callous and flippant way the majority of liberal society treats abortion .
Considering the way Democratic politicians and Hollywood celebrities talk about abortion as if it is akin to having tonsils @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children see the procedure in this way .
And that is the saddest part .

This girl is laughing and having fun about going through her second abortion.

This is ultimately how societies and great civilizations crumble. We have failed our children as a nation and the bill is coming due.
Our ability to be cruel is endless. When society celebrates abortion, should we be surprised to see this kind of cruelty?

The scientific community agrees that milder cases might go unnoticed as patients will have little more than a sore throat and runny nose. Since it is nearly impossible to test everyone who has the sniffles for the virus, the death rate could be skewed higher than it really is.
Even with the data bias, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine found the death rate for the new coronavirus resembles the worst influenza outbreaks more closely than it does MERS or SARS, “which had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.”
Carl Goldman, a passenger on the Diamond Princess cruise ship who was quarantined aboard the vessel along with over 3,000 passengers and crew after fewer than a dozen passengers initially tested positive for the virus, talked about his experience with the virus.
“It’s had less of an impact [on me] than the common cold,” Goldman said, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.

He is chronicling his stay in isolation on website for KHTS radio, a station he owns in his hometown of Santa Clarita, California.
Some reports surfaced that the quarantine itself exacerbated the problem as passengers were not properly screened and hygiene practices aboard the ship were inadequate to slow the spread of disease.
The virus is slowly making its way through the United States, but overall infections remain sporadic. President Donald Trump has taken the threat seriously from the beginning, including restricting travel from regions that were affected as the virus began emerging, giving the United States time to prepare its response:
So, the Coronavirus, which started in China and spread to various countries throughout the world, but very slowly in the U.S. because President Trump closed our border, and ended flights, VERY EARLY, is now being blamed, by the Do Nothing Democrats, to be the fault of “Trump”. — Donald J.

In a charge that has become embarrassingly trite, Amanda Marcotte at Salon took the opportunity to call Trump’s response to the virus “racist.”
New York Times commentator Gail Collins said it should be named “Trumpvirus” with the tagline of her piece,”If you’re feeling awful, you know who to blame.” Her article picked apart the administration’s response to the virus but didn’t miss the opportunity to take swipe at the president’s much-touted border wall.
Clearly, Democrats and their allies in the media are less concerned about the virus and more concerned with using the pandemic as a proverbial albatross to hang around the president’s neck.
With the 2020 presidential election on the horizon, the Democrats are most frightened of Trump’s booming economy.

westernjournal--2020-03-02--Bernie Sanders Squirms When Asked About Supporters Trying To Unseat Nancy Pelosi

For an idea of how divided the Democratic Party is these days , just listen to Bernie Sanders being quiet .
That ’ s not the normal state of existence for the bellicose socialist from Vermont , but in California on Sunday , stumping ahead of the Super Tuesday primaries , that ’ s exactly what Sanders was when he was faced with the kind of question Democrats don ’ t get enough of on the campaign trail .

“ Your thoughts and if you agree ?
” The normally loquacious Sanders clammed up .
“ I have not been involved in that race at all .
Period , ” he said .
“ No comment.
” When Kreutz prodded , Sanders managed to drag up a comment after all – the kind a friend setting up a blind date might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a “ nice personality.
” “ I ’ ve known Nancy Pelosi for many , many years , ” he said .
“ And I think , under very difficult circumstances , she ’ s doing a good job.

For an idea of how divided the Democratic Party is these days, just listen to Bernie Sanders being quiet.
That’s not the normal state of existence for the bellicose socialist from Vermont, but in California on Sunday, stumping ahead of the Super Tuesday primaries, that’s exactly what Sanders was when he was faced with the kind of question Democrats don’t get enough of on the campaign trail.
Since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing an election challenge this year from a democratic socialist who identifies himself as a Sanders follower, KGO-TV reporter Liz Kreutz took the opportunity to give Sanders a chance to weigh in on the race.
He was silent at first, and it spoke volumes.
“I want to ask you about the California District 12 race,” Kreutz said. “There is a democratic socialist Shahid Buttar, he’s running against Nancy Pelosi, he’s a big supporter of yours.”
Kreutz noted that the anti-Trump actress Susan Sarandon – a major Sanders supporter – is “endorsing” Buttar.
“I just want to get your thoughts on his race, they say it’s time for Pelosi to step aside,” she said. “Your thoughts and if you agree?”
The normally loquacious Sanders clammed up.
“I have not been involved in that race at all. Period,” he said. “No comment.”
When Kreutz prodded, Sanders managed to drag up a comment after all – the kind a friend setting up a blind date might use to say the prospective romantic interest has a “nice personality.”
“I’ve known Nancy Pelosi for many, many years,” he said. “And I think, under very difficult circumstances, she’s doing a good job.”
Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
In fairness to Sanders, Pelosi’s feelings seem similar. As The Daily Caller reported last week, the House speaker was asked by a reporter if she would be “comfortable” if Sanders were her party’s nominee for president.
Pelosi replied with a single word: “Yes.”
Clearly, these two have a common interest in attempting to defeat President Donald Trump in November, but they’re not falling all over each other in the interim.
Sanders’ response hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves, but some social media users noticed:
Oooh, Bernie did not like that question! Looks really uncomfortable, shifting around, his eyes darting all over the place like he’s thinking “what’s the most advantageous reply?” — Kafka (@KStovring) March 2, 2020
If he were serious about everything he says he’s for and against, he’d tell Pelosi how he really feels. He’s not even a registered Dem. Coward! — FullMoon ?? (@LIMIT_EVERYONE) March 2, 2020
As far as questions go, it was one of the tougher ones Sanders has faced from the generally sycophantic media – and likely would not have been asked anywhere outside the Bay Area, since most Americans don’t have a clue about some San Francisco democratic socialist challenging Nancy Pelosi, possibly President Donald Trump’s best-known political adversary.
But Sanders’ response was noteworthy.
At first he tried silence – not exactly his comfort zone. Then he tried to be nice – also not a Sanders specialty.
But the reality is, Sanders and Pelosi have precious little use for each other, other than the shared goal of defeating Trump, however disparate their approaches.
Pelosi has to know that Sanders’ insurgent candidacy – and the disaster it could bring her party in the fall – poses a direct threat to her speakership. Sanders has to know how unpopular he is in the establishment Democratic circles that are Pelosi’s universe.
In the interests of political expediency, Sanders couldn’t say any of that. He couldn’t say he knows Pelosi and her people would like nothing better than to see him bow out of the race and turn his enthusiastic support over to former Vice President Joe Biden.
He couldn’t say it would be a cold day in hell before he let himself get jobbed by the Democratic establishment again like he was in the 2016 nomination fight with Hillary Clinton.
So he tried to say nothing at all – which for Bernie Sanders is pretty well impossible.
And when it came to giving a glimpse into the deep divisions within the Democratic Party, almost eight months to the day before America goes to the polls on Nov. 3, what he did say was enough.
In fact, it spoke volumes.

“Where are the women?” Ruhle replied, as if the vice president has time to worry about making certain every group is represented in order to fight a worldwide virus.

But the left saved its really vile comments for when a photo of the vice president daring to pray with his team was shared.
“Mike Pence and his coronavirus emergency team praying for a solution. We are so screwed,” New York Times Magazine writer Thomas Chatterton Williams said.

The problem is not that Pence prays. People can pray and believe in science. The problem is that Pence is not one of those people. His brand of conservative Christianity casts doubt on science in the name of faith. That’s why people are concerned about him. #coronavirus. https://t.co/fA1d4N3aJh — Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons (@GuthrieGF) March 2, 2020
It is a sad day in America when the act of appealing to our Lord for help is seen as worthy of mockery.
It is because many leftists do not comprehend what prayer means to us and what prayer is all about.
We are not praying for God to swoop in and cure the disease for us. We are praying for him to grant our doctors, scientists and researchers the wisdom to fix it.
We are praying for the strength to deal with this crisis and for those who are afflicted to be helped in their struggle.
Many of these people do not believe in God because they have treated him like the genie in the magic lamp in the past, and they did not get what they wanted when they made a wish.
That is not how this works. It has never been how prayer works.
And it is telling that when you see them mock a photo of a group of people praying those people are almost always Christians.
Because rather than going on the attack against them we will pray for them, that someday they find the light of Jesus and be saved.

He said that after reviewing Clinton’s responses in the lawsuit he is handling, as well as a lawsuit in front of Judge Emmet Sullivan, “the Court believes those responses were either incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory at best.”
“Simply put, her responses left many more questions than answers.”
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton celebrated the decision in a statement.
“Judicial Watch uncovered the Clinton email scandal and we’re pleased that the court authorized us to depose Mrs. Clinton directly on her email conduct and how it impacted the people’s ‘right to know’ under FOIA,” he said.

The importance of North Korea’s practice was underscored by the oversight of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.
Two projectiles, believed to be short-range ballistic missiles, were fired into the sea by the rogue state, according to Fox News. The test follows a series of artillery drills by the North.
It’s not known which kind of missiles were launched, but the country’s SRBM armament appears to be geared towards a conflict with South Korea and its American allies.

westernjournal--2020-03-02--A Trump Offensive: GOP Plan To Target Deep Blue States Looks for Boost If Bernie Leads Dem Ticket

Even the deep blue states might be feeling the Bern this fall .
And it ’ s not the kind any Democrat would have expected in President Donald Trump ’ s re-election campaign .
With Democratic voters going to the polls Tuesday in 14 state nomination contests that could decide who will be at the top of their ticket come November , there ’ s no shortage of Democrats worried about the effect a Bernie Sanders nomination could have on races further down the ticket .
And considering the Republican National Committee is taking the 2020 fight to even states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats just might have a lot more to worry about than it looks .
According to a Politico report Monday , the RNC is investing resources to take the fight for votes into the liberal bastions of California , New York , New Jersey and Illinois .
TRENDING : Schiff Committee 's Leaks on Russian Interference Could Have Been Completely False Republicans in the article said the push had been planned months ago as part of a national effort to regain control of the House of Representatives .
But while it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improbably rise as a potential Democratic nominee , it sure could get a boost from that .
And Republicans know it .
“ Republicans … have already begun to attach Democrats to the Vermont senator — a strategy aimed at suburbanites who ’ ve fled the GOP during Trump ’ s presidency but who may be repelled by Sanders ’ politics , ” Politico reported .
“ The National Republican Congressional Committee , for instance , sent out a press release recently asking whether a pair of vulnerable New Jersey Democrats agreed with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Castro.
” Praising dictators like the late killer Castro is the kind of mistake only a candidate like Sanders would make – and it ’ s the kind of mistake only a candidate like Sanders would actually refuse to recognize .
Americans know that , and the political pros know Americans know it .
Not even the most liberal Democrats , in their heart of hearts , could deny that plenty of non-Trump races could be affected when the Democratic ticket is headed by a raving lunatic , self-proclaimed socialist septuagenarian from Vermont @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Asked About Supporters Trying To Unseat Nancy Pelosi In fact , plenty of Democrats , starting with former Vice President Joe Biden , have made that point publicly already – if not in those exact words .
“ He ’ ll have great trouble bringing along other senators , keeping the House of Representatives , winning back the Senate and down-ballot initiatives , ” Biden told host George Stephanopoulos Sunday on ABC ’ s “ This Week.
” Now , obviously Biden has a certain self-interest in peddling this line .
The more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sanders candidacy will mean to their hopes to hold onto Congress – or even win back the Senate – the more likely they are to turn to Biden as the more “ electable ” of the Democrats on offer .
But the reality for Democrats is that as Super Tuesday approaches , Sanders and his millions of ignorantly enthusiastic followers – evidently the kind of people with the intellectual depth of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her mates on the “ squad ” – could well be determining who is going to be leading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The other reality , as the Politico piece noted , is that the RNC has considerably more money than its counterpart , the Democratic National Committee .
” The RNC ’ s massive , seven-to-one financial advantage over the Democratic National Committee , aides say , has afforded them the luxury of investing in states that aren ’ t in play in the presidential contest , ” Politico noted .
There ’ s no doubt that that advantage in fundraising has much to do with Trump ’ s successes , so the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Republicans in November is a president seeking re-election after one of the most tumultuous-yet-accomplished presidencies in history .
The man who could well be at the top of the ticket for Democrats , meanwhile , is a creaking ruin , a physical and intellectual symbol of socialism — a political and economic system that has failed literally everywhere it has been tried , and is manifestly incompatible with the spirit and history of the United States .
Even if they never planned for that matchup , Republicans are well prepared to take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goes well , on Election Day , those deep-blue states could be feeling a Bern they never expected .

Praising dictators like the late killer Castro is the kind of mistake only a candidate like Sanders would make – and it’s the kind of mistake only a candidate like Sanders would actually refuse to recognize.
(To socialists like Sanders, the thing to remember about Castro is his “literacy program,” not the firing squads or prison cells for political prisoners, not the desperate men, women and children who risk their lives on rickety vessels to flee the island prison for the freedom of the United States.)
Americans know that, and the political pros know Americans know it.
