It is the handmaidens working for Planned Parenthood who have joked about selling aborted baby body parts. And it was Kamala Harris, when she was A.G. of California, who viciously prosecuted the young man who exposed that scandal, after she had received a hefty donation from Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood improperly took tens of millions of dollars' worth of government loans intended to help businesses during the coronavirus, according to a group of Republicans who want to see the organization investigated.
House lawmakers accused Planned Parenthood of unlawfully using the Small Business Administration's COVID-response program, the Paycheck Protection Program, to obtain millions of dollars in taxpayer funds. Reps. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R., Mo.) and Byron Donalds (R., Fla.) wrote that the Committee on Small Business is calling for the Department of the Treasury and the Small Business Administration to investigate the organization's actions.
"We insist that the SBA and the Department of the Treasury investigate 1.) the distribution of these loans in violation of the relevant affiliation rules and 2.) whether Planned Parenthood violated the law," the lawmakers wrote in a Friday letter.
In May 2020, the multibillion-dollar organization came under fire for taking $80 million in small-business assistance loans. Planned Parenthood said that its local affiliates qualified for the assistance. The Small Business Administration, however, demanded the money be returned, saying local branches were too closely associated with the national organization to be considered independent. Now, GOP lawmakers are looking for answers as to whether or not the organization broke the law.
"At a time where small-business owners are working tirelessly to open their doors and contribute to their communities again, we must ensure the SBA is using relief funding for its intended purpose—assisting our nation’s hardest hit small businesses, not America’s most tragic abortion provider," Luetkemeyer told the Free Beacon. "The SBA must immediately investigate Planned Parenthood’s blatant violation of the rules to ensure guidelines are followed and American taxpayer dollars are protected."
The letter comes as President Joe Biden's Department of Health and Human Services threw open the door for taxpayer-funded abortion. The department unveiled new rules concerning Title X family planning funding that reversed Trump administration policies limiting taxpayer funding for abortion providers. Donalds said taxpayer dollars should not be used to subsidize abortion providers.
"Planned Parenthood—the nation's most notorious abortion provider that has an estimated $2 billion in assets and over 16,000 employees—receiving taxpayer dollars through the Paycheck Protection Program is extremely concerning," he said.
Planned Parenthood defended the loans and accused congressional Republicans of focusing on "baseless political attacks" and targeting centers that "provide essential health care."
"Like many other local nonprofits and health care providers, the independent Planned Parenthood 501(c)(3) organizations who were awarded PPP loans met the eligibility requirements established by both Congress and the Small Business Administration," said Jacqueline Ayers, vice president of government relations and public policy for Planned Parenthood for America.
The Trump administration made changes to the Title X family planning program designed to limit the amount of taxpayer funding for abortion providers. Planned Parenthood withdrew from the program rather than comply with limitations on abortion referrals, forgoing approximately $60 million in annual federal funding.
The HHS rules are expected to take months to implement but will effectively return Title X funding policy to its pre-Trump status. Senate Republicans ripped Biden for allowing the abortion industry to profit from his presidency.
"President Biden took millions from the abortion industry during his campaign," Sen. Steve Daines (R., Mont.) said. "Now, Planned Parenthood is cashing in."
we know what the bankster regime of lawyer barack obama, lawyer joe biden and lawyer eric holder did for black america. nada! they were to busy sabotaging america's borders with narcomex and knew blacks would always vote black no matter what obomb's record really was.
BLM conspicuously quiet about massive numbers of Black deaths
Blacks make up slightly less than 13% of the American population – a percentage that’s diminishing daily as the Biden administration floods the country with illegal aliens from Latin America. However, Blacks are also doing their bit to keep their presence in American relatively small: They’re aborting their babies in extraordinary numbers. CNS News caught up with CDC statistics for 2018, based on data from only 31 reporting areas. They show that 117,626 Black children were aborted – or 33.6% of all reported 2018 abortions.
According to CNS News:
In the CDC report Abortion Surveillance -- United States, 2018, released in November 2020, Table 5 shows, “Reported abortions, by known race/ethnicity and reporting area of occurrence — selected reporting areas,* United States, 2018.”
As the Table explains, “* Data from 31 reporting areas; excludes 21 reporting areas (California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York City, New York State, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and Wyoming) that did not report, did not report by race/ethnicity, or did not meet reporting standards.”
Nonetheless, the data show that from the 31 reporting areas, 117,626 of the surgical abortions in 2018 were of black children, which equals 33.6% of the total abortions.
For white children, 135,328 were killed by abortion (38.7% of total); Hispanics, 70,195 (20% of total); and Other, 26,975 abortions (7.7% of total).
In other words, it’s a virtual certainty that more than 117,626 Black children were aborted, although it’s uncertain if they continued to represent a disproportionate number of total abortions. Nevertheless, it’s numbers such as these, combined with seeing my children’s ultrasounds, that turned me from being pro-Choice (I was raised a Democrat in the San Francisco Bay Area) to pro-Life. The Democrats’ relentless obsession with abortion has turned the Democrat party into a death cult and I want no part of it.
While Democrats once spoke about making abortion “safe, rare, and legal,” in the past two decades they’ve elevated abortion to a sort of Holy Grail status within the party. For most of the Democrat women I’ve known, abortion is the one issue on which they have no flexibility. They’re blind to the hypocrisy of weeping over illegal alien children in Trump’s cages (Biden’s cages don’t trouble them) while encouraging the annual death of hundreds of thousands of human lives.
Although the CDC information was released in November, CNS News only reported it now, which is why I’m getting to it now. Still, I think the timing is actually excellent. With the Derek Chauvin trial wrapping up in Minneapolis, BLM is again gearing up to use Black deaths as the cudgel by which they’ll beat American Blacks into a riotous, often murderous, frenzy that leftists hope will finally, once and for all, bring our country to its knees.
Even as leftists beat that drum, though, they’re unperturbed by the annual deaths of over a hundred thousand Black infants and are doing nothing to stop the slaughter of Black children in Democrat-run, gun-controlled, urban neighborhoods. Abortion on that scale has turned entire Black communities into self-perpetuating death cults.
The people who should care most about the welfare of children in the Black community are the mothers. Instead, though, the Democrat obsession with abortion encourages Black women to think nothing about disposing of their pregnancies. The message is clear to the children who manage to survive to birth: Whether they’re killed in utero or out of it, Black lives are indeed disposable.
No wonder 13-year-old boys run around Chicago with guns. If life has no value, what does it matter if you kill someone and it seemingly didn’t matter to those raising “Lil Homicide” that he might be killed.
The cleverest thing the Democrat party ever did was to convince Blacks to engage in what I call “auto-genocide.” Despite all the “Black Lives Matter” protests, the reality is that the very core of the Democrat party values holds that Black lives don’t matter at all.
In other words, it’s a virtual certainty that more than 117,626 Black children were aborted, although it’s uncertain if they continued to represent a disproportionate number of total abortions. Nevertheless, it’s numbers such as these, combined with seeing my children’s ultrasounds, that turned me from being pro-Choice (I was raised a Democrat in the San Francisco Bay Area) to pro-Life. The Democrats’ relentless obsession with abortion has turned the Democrat party into a death cult and I want no part of it.10 Lowlights of Maxine Waters’ Political Career
20 Apr 202174
5:08
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is one of the most controversial members of Congress, with a history of scandalous and bizarre statements and stories throughout her thirty years as a representative.
Below are ten lowlights in Waters’ political career:
1. Waters is reprimanded by a judge for inciting unrest during an ongoing criminal trial
Waters has recently been in the news for encouraging protesters in Minnesota to “get more confrontational” if Derek Chauvin is acquitted of murder charges for the death of George Floyd.
Judge Peter Cahill, who is presiding over the trial, said on the day of counsel’s closing arguments that her remarks were “abhorrent” and “may result in the whole trial being overturned”:
C-SPAN
Volume 90%
I’m aware that Congresswoman Waters was talking specifically about this trial and about the unacceptability of anything less than a murder conviction, talked about being confrontational… I wish elected officials would stop talking about this case, especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law, and to the judicial branch and our function. I think if they want to give their opinions, they should do so in a respectful, and in a manner that is respectful to the Constitution, to respect the co-equal branch of government. Their failure to do so, I think, is abhorrent.
In addition, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Breitbart News Monday he will formally move to censure Waters “over her call to violence in Minnesota,” Breitbart News’ Matt Boyle reported. If just a handful of Democrats cross the aisle and the censure resolution passes, she will be stripped of her duties as the chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee.
2. Waters lives outside her congressional district
Republican Joe Collins campaigned against Waters during the 2020 cycle and highlighted that Waters does not even live in the district she represents.
“Do you know where I am right now? Maxine Waters’ six million-dollar mansion,” Collins says in an ad. “Do you know where I’m not right now? Maxine Waters’ district.”
“She has a very nice community, she has a really big house – and that’s just one of three or four house that she has,” he also told Fox News. “And meanwhile, she comes to the inner city and preaches the message of hatred, and a message of us vs. them.”

Waters’ home once was counted as part of her own district (CA-43), but it now lands in CA-37, represented by fellow Democrat Karen Bass.
3. Waters calls for public harassment of White House officials
In 2018, Waters suggested people should be harassing and protesting then-president Donald Trump’s Cabinet officials at stores, restaurants, and gas stations.
“I have no sympathy for these people that are in this administration who know it’s wrong for what they’re doing on so many fronts. They tend to not want to confront this president or even leave, but they know what they’re doing is wrong,” Waters said.
“I want to tell you, these members of his cabinet who remain and try to defend him, they won’t be able to go to a restaurant, they won’t be able to stop at a gas station, they’re not going to be able to shop at a department store,” she continued.
“The people are going to turn on them. They’re going to protest. They’re going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they’re going to tell the president, ‘No, I can’t hang with you.’ This is wrong. This is unconscionable. We can’t keep doing this to children,” she concluded.
4. Waters claims God sent her to stop Donald Trump
Later that same year, Waters addressed the First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, claiming she was sent to Washington by God to obstruct Trump.
“You’ve gotta know that I’m here to do the work that I was sent to do, and as pastor said to me when I came in this morning, when God sends you to do something, you just do it!” she said.
“So I have a message: I’m going back to Washington tomorrow morning, I’m going to tell them pastor told me to come here and just do it!” she proclaimed.
“I’m not about to sit quietly and allow the President of the United States, or anybody else, to undo all that has been done to make this a great country,” she concluded.
5. Waters gets pranked by Russian trolls posing as Greta Thunberg
Waters presumably spoke with two Russians impersonating Greta Thunberg and her father after her staff believed they have connected with the Swedish climate change activist, Breitbart News’ Kristina Wong reported.
A woman who identifies herself as Congresswoman Waters tells “Greta”: “Of course, I know all about you. You have made quite a big, big, big thunder on this issue. I am really, really very proud of you and the work that you’re doing.”
The prank callers trick Waters into making a statement in defense of the environment of an imaginary island named “Chunga Changa.”
The call gets more farcical when “Greta” tells Waters that she met Trump at the United Nations, where he privately insulted her and confessed to threatening Ukraine’s president.
“He came over, he leaned towards me, and said softly, ‘Listen to me very carefully, little girl, you will never achieve your goals,’” “Greta” says.
“He said you will never achieve your goals? Oh my goodness!” Waters exclaims, stunned. “Greta” then says that she cried. “Oh my God did you cry?” Waters exclaims.
6. Waters compares Trump to “Kim Jong-Oom” and “Validimore Putin”
Waters spoke in San Diego in February 2018 and compared Trump to North Korea and Russia’s dictators, botching the heads of state’s names along the way.

7. Waters propagated “BlueAnon” conspiracy theories about Trump and Russia
In the clip immediately above, the congresswoman insinuated that Trump is “compromised” by Putin — a far-left conspiracy theory that has since been proven false. In January 2019, Waters speculated about a Trump-Russia scheme during the 2016 election, even admitting “I don’t have the proof” to substantiate any portion of the claims.
8. Waters says she has never seen police brutality against white Americans
During a new conference in 2002, Waters said of her social justice cause that there is a disparity between the policing of white and back people.
“I don’t see white police officers slamming the heads of little white boys into police cars,” Waters said.
“I haven’t seen them abusing white males. What I see is white police officers abusing black males, and young black males particularly. Yes, I believe it’s racially motivated,” she added.
9. Waters laments that her mother could not abort any of her 12 siblings
Waters, speaking of civil rights marches, alluded her mother could not have any of her children aborted. Waters is the fifth of 13 children.
“I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion,” she said.
10. Waters takes cheap shots at Melania Trump
Typically, a U.S. president’s family members are considered off-limits in political battles, but Waters did not let that stop her from making some low blows against First Lady Melania Trump, without any particular political angle. On one occasion in 2018, she made the non-sequitur remark: “[Trump] doesn’t even know how to spell his own wife’s name.” The year before, she wrote on social media: “Melania can’t trust Trump,” with no further context or explanation of what prompted the statement.

KAMALA HARRIS, THE GODLESS.
https://kamala-harris-sociopath.blogspot.com/2020/10/kamala-harris-godless-just-follow-money.html
Harris is no friend of religious liberty. Her recent decision to exclaim in the year of our Lord, which has been conveniently picked up by her staff, is a ploy designed to appeal to unassuming Christian voters impressed by "God talk." As the old adage says, actions speak louder than words, and on this score, Harris fails to convince.
It is the handmaidens working for Planned Parenthood who have joked about selling aborted baby body parts. And it was Kamala Harris, when she was A.G. of California, who viciously prosecuted the young man who exposed that scandal, after she had received a hefty donation from Planned Parenthood.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE WAS VERY GENEROUS AFTER KAMAL HARRIS LET THEM AVOID PRISON…. JUST FOLLOW THE MONEY!
As most people know, prior to her being a Senator, she served as the chief prosecutor for the city of San Francisco. Now, complaints are coming forward that she flat out refused to pursue criminal cases against Catholic priests who allegedly sexually battered children.
People who say they were victims of childhood sexual abuse call out Harris for not doing all that she could to prosecute their cases.
Biden Cites God in Predicting Defeat of Pro-Lifers: ‘We’re Going to See What Happens All Over America, God Willing’ (MORE BELOW).
Biden Vows to Legalize Nationwide Killing of Unborn Babies
The deadly face of the Left.
Thirty-five years ago, Democratic Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, who was then serving as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, gave a speech explaining why he was going to vote against confirming Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court.
Biden spoke as a self-proclaimed “child of God” and claimed his opposition to Bork was all about God-given rights.
“I believe that all Americans are born with certain inalienable rights, certain God-given rights that they have, not because the Constitution says they have them,” Biden said in the text of a speech preserved in the Congressional Record. “I have rights because I exist, in spite of my government, not because of my government.”
“As a child of God, my rights are not derived from the majority, the State or the Constitution,” said Biden. “Rather, they were given to me and to each of our fellow citizens by the creator and represent the essence of human dignity.
“It is with this spirit that the framers of our Constitution met in Philadelphia 200 years ago,” he said.
Twenty-five years after he expressed this point of view, as this column has noted before, Biden discussed his views on abortion in a vice presidential debate with Republican Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
Martha Raddatz of ABC News, who moderated that debate, insisted on inserting the candidates’ religion into the abortion issue. “We have two Catholic candidates, first time, on a stage such as this,” said Raddatz. “And I would like to ask you both to tell me what role your religion has played in your own personal views on abortion.”
Ryan, who is pro-life, said that “reason and science” informed his position.
“Now, you want to ask basically why I’m pro-life?” said Ryan. “It’s not simply because of my Catholic faith. That’s a factor, of course. But it’s also because of reason and science.”
“Now, I believe that life begins at conception,” he said. “That’s why — those are the reasons why I’m pro-life.”
Unlike Ryan, Biden did not cite “reason and science.” He spoke of abortion as if it were solely a religious issue and addressed the question of whether human life begins at conception as if it were something that was merely “the church’s judgment” rather than a scientific fact.
“My religion defines who I am, and I’ve been a practicing Catholic my whole life,” Biden said. “And it has particularly informed my social doctrine. The Catholic social doctrine talks about taking care of those who can’t take care of themselves, people who need help. With regard to abortion, I accept my church’s position on abortion as a — what we call de fide doctrine. Life begins at conception in the church’s judgment. I accept it in my personal life.
“But I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews, and I just refuse to impose that on others, unlike my friend here, the congressman. I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people that — women — they can’t control their body. It’s a decision between them and their doctor.”
It was false for Biden to suggest that whether life begins at conception is merely “the church’s judgment.” It is an inescapable fact, just as it is an inescapable fact that abortion ends a human life.
But last Sunday in New York, the man who cited his recognition of God-given rights in explaining his opposition to the confirmation of Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court declared once again that he intends to sign legislation declaring a nationwide right to abort unborn babies.
“Look, here’s the bottom line: If Republicans gain control of Congress and pass a nationwide ban on abortion, I will veto it,” said Biden. “And if we elect — they give me two more Democrats in the Senate and we keep control of the House, we’re going to codify Roe v. Wade in January and make it the law of the land.”
This is Biden’s commitment: to sign a law that legalizes the mass killing of innocent human beings.
Federal Judge Orders Michigan Public School to Read Student’s Pro-Life Message Over PA System
(CNS News) – A Michigan public high school that refused to allow a student’s pro-life message to be read over the school’s public address service during announcements has been ordered by a federal judge to read the message because, to not do so, is discriminatory and a violation of the First Amendment.
In his Nov. 4 order, U.S. District Court Judge Paul Borman said the Skyline High School in Ann Arbor, Mich., must read over its public address system on Nov. 7, the following statement,
“Attention Students
Are you interested in joining our efforts to protect the health of women and children?
If proposal 3 is passed it would eliminate health and safety regulations, legalize late term and partial birth abortion, no longer require physicians to perform abortions, and eliminate informed consent laws.
If so, email us at skylinerepublicanclub@gmail.com.”
Proposal 3 in Michigan reads, “A proposal to amend the state constitution to establish new individual right to reproductive freedom, including right to make all decisions about pregnancy and abortion; allow state to regulate abortion in some cases; and forbid prosecution of individuals exercising established right.”
The statement was written by a student at Skyline High School and the school had refused to read it over its PA system, claiming it was “political." Skyline, however, had allowed similar messages from the left to be announced over the PA system. For instance, students were able to promote abortion, Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, the George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin trial, climate change, and the visit of a Democratic congresswoman seeking re-election.
In response to this apparent censorship and discrimination against a pro-life message, the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a nonprofit public interest law firm, sent a letter to the Ann Arbor Public Schools and requested for the announcement to be made.
Ann Arbor Public schools later responded but denied any wrongdoing and continued “to censor Plaintiffs’ speech,” reads a press release from the TMLC.
The law firm subsequently filed a federal lawsuit Nov. 1 in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against the Ann Arbor Public Schools and officials of Skyline High School.
The lawsuit claims “blatant discrimination,” and alleges that the school violated the First and Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Equal Access Act. It was filed on behalf of David Nielsen and his minor son, who is identified as the “plaintiff,” after his announcement-request was denied by the school for its “political” nature.
“The Constitution protects a student’s right to have a different viewpoint from others and share it within the walls of a public school,” TMLC’s Chief of Supreme Court and Appellate Practice Erin Mersino said. “How else will students learn tolerance toward opinions to which they disagree or how to thrive in our pluralistic society?”
After the plaintiffs submitted their announcement request on Proposal 3, they were sent an email from the school that claimed the statement was political in nature, and therefore, would not be read or posted. The plaintiffs then met with the principal’s secretary, who confirmed the announcement was rejected and not made for that reason, because in his “opinion,” it was “political.”
“Public schools across our nation are stifling the free speech of conservative students and organizations,” TMLC President Richard Thompson said. “We are working to defend their constitutional rights – rights which the Supreme Court so famously said, they do not lose by merely entering the schoolhouse gate.”
A motion for a temporary restraining order was also filed Nov. 2, “asking the Court to require that the announcement be shared over the school’s public address system at the earliest possible time.” A hearing was held Nov. 4, to which Borman announced that the motion would be granted.
Borman’s ruling deemed that, “Plaintiffs have shown a likelihood of success on the merits of their First Amendment claim,” and that “Defendants seek to silence Plaintiffs’ appropriate speech by refusing to broadcast it with their morning announcements.”
California Enshrines Abortion Until Birth, Rejects Sports Gambling
California voters overwhelmingly voted for a state constitutional amendment that will enshrine the right to abortion until birth, though voters turned down many other ballot measures, including two that would expand sports gambling in the Golden State.
As of Wednesday morning, nearly two-thirds of voters had backed Proposition 1, which expands current abortion law, which guarantees abortion until viability. The language of the proposition also included a right to contraception, easing its passage.
California was one of several Democrat-governed states to approve such a resolution Tuesday, including Vermont and Michigan.
However, overwhelming majorities of California voters rejected Proposition 26 to allow sports betting on tribal lands, as well as Proposition 27 to allow online sports betting outside tribal lands. Voters approved Proposition 28 to expand arts funding in public schools, as well as Proposition 31 to restrict the sale of some flavored tobacco products. They rejected Proposition 29 to further regulate kidney dialysis clinics — the third time it has failed — and rejected Proposition 30, a tax hike to pay for electric vehicles.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D), who won reelection easily, mandated the purchase of electric vehicles after 2035 but campaigned against Proposition 30, portraying it as an effort by ride-sharing companies to pass the cost of new electric fleets to the taxpayers.
No Republican candidates were doing well in statewide races, though several were holding up well in early counts of congressional races. California takes weeks to finalize results because of its heavy reliance on mail-in ballots, including the use of ballot harvesting.
