Title: The Patriot Post Digest 10-17-2016 Post by: nChrist on October 17, 2016, 06:25:11 PM ________________________________________ The Patriot Post Digest 10-17-2016 From The Federalist Patriot Free Email Subscription (http://patriotpost.us/subscription/new) ________________________________________ Mid-Day Digest Oct. 17, 2016 IN TODAY’S EDITION Eric Holder to head redistricting effort for “nation of cowards.” ObamaCare is booting 1.4 million people next year. Clinton’s words to Wall Street are leaked. Planned Parenthood marks 100 years of terminating babies' lives. And more news, policy and opinion. THE FOUNDATION “The general government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws: its jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects, which concern all the members of the republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any.” —James Madison (1787) TOP RIGHT HOOKS Redistricting, Eric Holder Style1 Democrats are seeking to make up ground lost in recent election cycles in congressional and state races, so they have formed the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC). Former Attorney General Eric Holder will chair the new umbrella group, which will focus on redistricting reform as they claim to take on Republican gerrymandering of state redistricting maps. “American voters deserve fair maps that represent our diverse communities — and we need a coordinated strategy to make that happen,” Holder said. “This unprecedented new effort will ensure Democrats have a seat at the table to create fairer maps after 2020.” Barack Obama, who endorsed Holder for the role of NDRC chairman, made it clear that the redistricting effort will be one of his chief aims upon leaving office. White House political director David Simas commented, “Where [Obama] will be most politically engaged will be at the state legislative level, with an eye on redistricting after 2020.” Obama knows his legacy includes decimating down-ballot Democrats2. The real trouble is that Democrat leaders like Obama and Holder constantly claim that racism dominates the Republican Party — therefore, the redistricting done by Republican state legislators and governors has been inherently racist. Holder once insisted we’re “a nation of cowards” on the issue of race relations. According to Carolyn Fiddler, communications director for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, “[Donald] Trump is an acute symptom of their party in decline, and Republican leadership can’t help but be aware that their majorities in the U.S. House and in many statehouses are inflated at best, wholly artificial at worst.” Once again it seems that when Democrats cannot win on ideas they’ll look for other ways to seize the reins of power. ObamaCare About to Dump 1.4M From Coverage3 Just in time for the election, news is that at least 1.4 million individuals currently enrolled in the ObamaCare marketplace will lose their coverage in 2017, as big insurance companies are pulling out of the exchanges due to massive revenue losses. Over 10% of the current number of individuals enrolled in ObamaCare nationwide will lose their coverage plan, forcing them to search for new plans in an ever shrinking and more costly market. In short, the government-mandated product will only become more expensive with a diminishing value. The S&P forecasts that next year ObamaCare enrollment will “stall or even decline.” So ObamaCare is untenable with a collapse imminent. Who saw that coming? When ObamaCare was first rolled out, Health and Human Services predicted that 26 million people would be enrolled in the ObamaCare exchanges by 2017. In 2015, the projection of 22 million enrollees for 2016 was reduced 40% to 13 million, and it has since shrunk to 11.1 million. The reason so many are leaving (or not even entering) the ObamaCare exchange is because the “Affordable” Care Act has made insurance unaffordable. The whole premise for ObamaCare was one of stemming growing health care costs (though in reality it was always about government control). ObamaCare has proven to do exactly the opposite of what Democrats promised it would do. Socialism is never a cost effective or economically industrious system. It kills competition and innovation in favor of an “equality” standard that proves only to drag down those who produce rather than raise those who, often through lack of effort, don’t. ObamaCare has managed to drag everyone down. Hillary’s Wall Street Double Talk4 WikiLeaks continued its dripping of Hillary Clinton-related hacked emails on Saturday, providing further information on Hillary Clinton’s 2013 Goldman Sachs sponsored speech5 — you know, the one where she told them politicians have public positions and private positions. The dumped documents reveal a cozy relationship with Wall Street. She told investors that “would you do is really important,” urging them to take on a greater role in crafting regulations. And she boasted she had “great relations” with Wall Street as New York’s senator. Anybody who pockets hundreds of thousands of dollars for a few speeches is bound to couch that as “great relations.” On top of revelations of the DNC’s coordinated effort against Bernie Sanders, it’s no wonder Hillary is fearful of losing Sanders' Millennials, who’d rather vote Communist6 than say anything nice about capitalism. Sanders made much of trying to get Clinton to release these transcripts, always implying that she was in the pocket of Wall Street. While there’s no bombshell here, you can imagine the ad play “great relations” would have gotten. The Clinton campaign responded as it has all along — by blaming the Russians. “There is no getting around it,” said Clinton spokesman Glen Caplin. “Donald Trump is cheering on a Russian attempt to influence our election through a crime reminiscent of Watergate, but on a more massive scale.” BEST OF RIGHT OPINION Peggy Noonan: America’s Decadent Leadership Class7 Jeff Jacoby: How the Religious Right Embraced Donald Trump and Lost Its Moral Authority8 George Will: A Judicial Slap to a Careless Congress9 For more, visit Right Opinion10.

FEATURED RIGHT ANALYSIS A Century of Corporate Infanticide15 “A true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” Mahatma Gandhi The most vulnerable of any society are those whose faculties don’t permit independent function, such as the mentally and physically challenged and handicapped, the elderly who are frail of strength and mind, and children, both growing inside and outside the womb. Ironically, Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion mill, celebrated its 100th “birthday” Sunday, Oct. 16. But it has so dishonored life and birth it should be scorned and condemned for its true role — a profitable organization devoted to the deaths of children so as to control population under the guise of health. The 100 years of existence of these abortuaries, which perform more than 300,000 abortions annually, began with Margaret Sanger. She was an advocate not of family planning but of controlling “the human weeds” from “reckless breeders.” In her book, “Pivot of Civilization,” Sanger made no efforts to hide her prejudice in supporting methods to deal with some “human beings who should never have been born.” Sanger was a devotee of eugenics, obviously deeming herself fit to live, while making the determination which humans were worthy of life or death. Sanger went so far as to proclaim, “The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” How empowering. Title: The Patriot Post Digest 10-17-2016 Post by: nChrist on October 17, 2016, 06:26:15 PM ________________________________________ The Patriot Post Digest 10-17-2016 From The Federalist Patriot Free Email Subscription (http://patriotpost.us/subscription/new) ________________________________________ The evil of this woman’s heart certainly sprang forth to reveal contempt for those who weren’t on her approved list of worthy civilians. Sanger was brazen and consistent. She wrote that for the purpose of racial “purification,” couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. She wrote in the November 1921 edition of Birth Control Review that birth control was valuable for selection “to create a race of thoroughbreds.” Her blatant racism was captured in “Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right,” in which she laid out a plan to use “colored ministers” to convince blacks that delivering birth control to their communities was a good idea. “The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal,” she wrote. “We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” How proud Margaret Sanger should be of the seven million babies whose lives have been “terminated” through the effective propaganda of Planned Parenthood. That organization has led the effort to define a baby human as nothing more than a “mass of tissue,” because it’s much easier to talk about removing it. They also contend that, at best, viability outside the womb should be a factor. Careful. Viability outside the womb, if strictly applied, would allow the disposal of many of our most fragile seniors as well as the mentally ill and handicapped who depend upon the care of others for their very existence. Planned Parenthood’s logic has a dark and horrible conclusion. Yet, Planned Parenthood has prettied up population control to empower women regarding their fertility and “reproductive health.” While dolled up with words, marketing slogans and hip campaigns, abortion is performed almost always merely to prevent unwanted birth, not to save or protect the life of the mother. According to the National Abortion Federation, reported victims of rape comprised 1% of those seeking abortions, while abortions performed to protect the life of the mother account for fewer than 1% of all terminations. Abortion is not contraception. The authentic medical definition of contraception describes methods that prevent pregnancy by interfering with the normal process of ovulation, fertilization and implantation. Abortion is performed once fertilization and implantation have occurred and is, therefore, to halt the growth of the product of human reproduction — a child. As more conservatives have been elected to state legislatures and governorships in recent years, they have enacted policies and laws to stop taxpayer-funded abortions and tighten the regulations on clinics. The unfortunate side-effect was that with the praiseworthy decline in the number of abortions performed, the revenue of corporate infanticide had to be replaced. These folks found a new moneymaker in “tissue” research. In 2008, Planned Parenthood “partnered” with a few companies by providing body parts of aborted babies for “fees.” That practice ended in 2015 when the Center for Medical Progress16 released videos of the haggling of Planned Parenthood employees for brains, kidneys, hearts and other vital organs and tissues for sale. At one point, this disgusting organization had accumulated an inventory valued at $10 million in cells and parts for research harvested from aborted children. Two of these “partners” have been recently charged for the illegal sale of these precious tissues. DV Biologics and DiVinci Biosciences will be prosecuted by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office in California for profiting from the sale of prenatal “heart, lungs, kidneys, brains, intestines, skeletal muscles and bones of the aborted fetus donations.” As technology has provided 3-D images through ultrasounds, the lie of abortion is being exposed. With the horror of selling baby parts, the industry has been further laid bare for its true nature — opportunists who profit through deceit and death. A century of that is worth mourning and fighting, not celebrating. MORE ANALYSIS FROM THE PATRIOT POST Catholics Are Also Deplorable?17 — A look at what Hillary Clinton’s campaign thinks of political opponents. OPINION IN BRIEF Peggy Noonan: “It is quite dreadful and a showing of the gravest disrespect that, if U.S. intelligence agencies are correct, Russia’s Vladimir Putin has inserted himself into America’s presidential election. And it could not have deeper implications. If Russia is indeed behind the leaks of the emails of Democratic Party operatives Mr. Putin may have many reasons, as he often does, but the most frightening would be that he views the current American political leadership class as utterly decadent and unworthy of traditional diplomatic norms and boundaries. And, thinks, therefore, it deserves what it gets. Why would he find them decadent — morally hollowed out, unserious? That is the terrible part: because he knows them. … Nothing is more dangerous than this: that Mr. Putin and perhaps other world leaders have come to have diminished respect for the morality, patriotism and large-mindedness of our leaders. Nikita Khrushchev had a rough respect for JFK and his men and that respect, in the Cuban Missile Crisis, helped avert nuclear war. Mikhail Gorbachev was in the end half-awed by Ronald Reagan’s goodness and idealism; the world knew George H.W. Bush and respected his integrity, and so he was able to build coalitions that were real coalitions, not just names. Now, whoever wins, we are in a different place, a lesser and more dangerous one.” SHORT CUTS The Gipper: “Our policies have concentrated on rationing scarcity rather than creating plenty. As a result our economy has stagnated.” Alpha Jackass: “At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth and I am not going to value a piece of cloth over people’s lives. That’s just not something I can do. It’s not something I feel morally right doing and my character won’t allow me to do that.” —Colin Kaepernick Backpedaling: “Some of you have inquired about a book interview in which I was asked how I felt about Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players who refused to stand for the national anthem. Barely aware of the incident or its purpose, my comments were inappropriately dismissive and harsh. I should have declined to respond.” —Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Demo-gogues: “No, [Bill Clinton’s history of sexual abuse] shouldn’t matter. Look, I can’t make any excuse for Bill Clinton’s conduct … and I wouldn’t attempt to make any excuses for the conduct. But he paid a price for it. He paid a price. He was impeached. And he was — he expressed his deep sorrow and acknowledged what he did.” —Joe Biden The BIG lie: “When people ask me, ‘So how are you going to pay for infrastructure jobs and paid family leave?’, I say, ‘Well, I’m telling you how I’m paying for everything.’ I am not going to add a penny to the national debt. We’re going to go where the money is. We’re going to make the wealthy pay their fair share, and we’re finally going to close those corporate loopholes.” —Hillary Clinton Late-night humor: “The best email that’s been leaked so far claims that Hillary met with rapper Q-Tip last year to discuss how to appeal to hip-hop fans. The big takeaway for Hillary: Whatever you do, don’t try to rap. I guess the meeting with Q-Tip really affected Hillary because afterwards, she actually came up with some rapper names for herself. First, she tried Lil' Wheezy. Then she tried Run DNC. And finally, she tried Wiz Deleeta.” —Jimmy Fallon Semper Vigilans Fortis Paratus et Fidelis!
