President Trump: ‘Curt Schilling Deserves to Be in the Hall of Fame’
Getty Images/Jared WickershamCurt Schilling’s Hall of Fame candidacy got a public show of support on Sunday from someone who knows about being a candidate for something, and winning.
Late Sunday evening, President Trump took to Twitter and gave the Breitbart podcast host and MLB Hall of Fame candidate a solid vote of support:
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrumpCurt Schilling deserves to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Great record, especially when under pressure and when it mattered most. Do what everyone in Baseball knows is right! @marklevinshow
Schilling, who amassed over 200 major league wins in a career spanning 20 years, is set to hear whether he will win acceptance into baseball’s hallowed hall on Tuesday. Also up for induction are fellow baseball legends Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.
According to Yahoo! Sports’ Mike Oz, Schilling, along with Clemens and Bonds, should not expect to get approval from Hall of Fame voters this time around.
“With the results of this year’s vote coming Tuesday, it seems like a safe bet that neither Bonds, Clemens nor Schilling should be waiting by the phone,” Oz explained. “This won’t be their year unless everything we think we know about Hall of Fame voting turns upside down. But they should at least jot down any speech ideas they have, because it’s starting to look like Bonds, Clemens and Schilling will get in. Eventually.”
Bonds and Clemens are similar to each other in the sense that both had their careers tainted by suspicion of steroid abuse. Schilling, however, was never tainted by suspicion of steroid abuse. Instead, the two-time World Series champion is facing resistance to his obviously deserving Hall of Fame career, based entirely on his political opinions.
Schilling has been an outspoken advocate for conservative causes both before, and obviously during his time working for Breitbart. Following his MLB career, Schilling worked as an MLB analyst for ESPN. In April of 2016, Schilling was fired by ESPN for sharing a Facebook post in response to a North Carolina law which barred transgender people from using bathrooms and locker rooms that did not correlate with their assigned gender at birth.
The post showed an overweight man wearing a wig and women’s clothing with parts of the T-shirt cut out to expose his breasts. It says: “LET HIM IN! to the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow-minded, judgmental, unloving racist bigot who needs to die.”
To that, Schilling added: “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”
ESPN announced Schilling’s firing in a statement.
“ESPN is an inclusive company,” the company said. “Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated.”
Since that time, Schilling has continued to fight for the conservative causes he believes in while hosting The Curt Schilling Podcast, for Breitbart.
Hall of Fame candidates must get 75% of the vote to win acceptance. According to Mike Oz, Clemens, Bonds, and Schilling, are all above 70%. All three players are also in their seventh year on the ballot, meaning they have three more years to attain the needed 75%.

Joe Biden’s son admits his father did not discourage him from having affair with his brother’s widow
Joe Biden’s son admits his father did not discourage him from having affair with his brother’s widow
Photo via Gabbee Youtube VideoAdding to the problem, Hunter Biden recently noted that his father, the former vice president, did not exactly discourage this behavior.
Is Nothing Taboo?
People get divorced in this world — that is a reality.
However, most of them do not run into the arms of their sibling’s widow.
Not only did that happen in the Biden family, but it was also apparently encouraged.
Joe Biden, in fact, has openly supported the relationship between his controversial son Hunter and the widow of his eldest son, Beau, a lawyer who passed away from brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46.
The Black Sheep
All of this came to light due to a recent exposé on Biden in Vanity Fair, which put Hunter Biden under the microscope ahead of his father’s potential 2020 run.
Vanity Fair reported that Hunter Biden’s wife was the one that reportedly called it quits, and for good reason.
According to her account, Hunter was spending money on booze, drugs, and women — just about everything but the welfare of his wife and children.
Hunter Biden then ran into the arms of Hallie Biden, Beau’s widow.
But that didn’t seem to bother his father, Joe.
“We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness,” the former VP said. “They have mine and Jill’s full and complete support, and we are happy for them.”
Still, it’s hardly surprising that Joe Biden would be a fan of such immoral behavior: just look at his own history of sexual misconduct, which he faced allegations for as recently as 2017.
Simply put: the Bidens are not fit to be in the White House. Period.

Pelosi's Trip to Italy, Ukraine Cost Air Force $184,587.81

(CNSNews.com) -- Given the political kerfuffle over President Trump cancelling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) congressional delegation (CODEL) trip to Afghanistan, it is interesting to note that a 2015 CODEL to Italy and Ukraine by Pelosi, as documented by Judicial Watch, cost the Air Force alone $184,587.81 in expenses.
“Speaker Pelosi has a demonstrated record of abusing the perks of office that give her access to military luxury travel paid for by taxpayers,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a press release.

During the 2015 CODEL, Pelosi traveled with her husband and several members of Congress and their spouses to Milan, Rome, and Naples, Italy and to Kiev, Ukraine. In Rome, the trip included visits to the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, the Duomo, and a viewing of Leonardo Da Vinci's "Last Supper," reported Judicial Watch.
The government watchdog obtained the expenses data after filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Air Force in December 2015. That FOIA suit asked for the following:
"All records regarding mission taskings of flights escorting members of Congress.
"All records concerning transportation costs for transporting members of Congress.
"All passenger manifests (DD-2131) for transporting members of Congress.
"All weekly travel reports for members of Congress."
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. (YouTube)
The lawsuit revealed that Air Force expenses for the CODEL were $134,587.81 plus $50,000 for an "escort officer." Total: $184,587.81.
"Judicial Watch previously uncovered that Pelosi’s military travel cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over one two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol," said the watchdog group in its press release.
"Judicial Watch’s work exposing Pelosi’s travel abuses resulted in her successor John Boehner declining to use Air Force luxury jets to travel to his Ohio congressional district."
MLK’s Niece: Planned Parenthood Claim His Legacy ‘Intertwined’ with Abortion Movement Is ‘Inhuman,’ ‘Inhumane’

MLK’s Niece: Planned Parenthood Claim His Legacy ‘Intertwined’ with Abortion Movement Is ‘Inhuman,’ ‘Inhumane’
By Craig Bannister
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Monday, after a Planned Parenthood tweet associated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with the abortion movement, Alveda King condemned the abortion group’s post, calling it both “inhuman” and “inhumane.”
On the national holiday memorializing the late civil rights leader, Planned Parenthood claimed that King’s “life & legacy” are “intertwined” with abortion rights activism:
“We honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life & legacy as the fight for racial justice, economic equity, & reproductive freedom are undeniably intertwined. This fight is one we cannot do alone, & we are proud to stand w/ our partners who are on the frontlines of this fight. #MLKDay”
In a reaction to the tweet provided to CNSNews.com, King’s niece, Alveda King said Planned Parenthood’s "inhuman" and "inhumane" claim dishonored her uncle:
“To dishonor a prophet by raising a political banner which supports killing innocent babies on MLK’s birthday is so inhuman. To dishonor a prophet by raising a political banner on his birthday is so inhumane.”
“King sought after the spirit not the flesh. He was after the divine,” King’s niece continued, calling on people of all races to oppose “crimes against humanity,” such as abortion:
“20th century skin color race card inflammation will not solve crimes against humanity; including abortion, human trafficking, modern slavery, oppression. MLK did not serve politics. He didn’t serve government. He served God. We are not color blind; we are one human race; one blood, created in living color.”
2020: Kamala Harris Announces She’s Running for President

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) officially announced her candidacy for President of the United States on Monday, joining what is shaping up to be a crowded fray in the double digits.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) officially announced her candidacy for President of the United States on Monday, joining what is shaping up to be a crowded fray in the double digits.
The first-term senator revealed during a sit-down interview with ABC’s Good Morning America that she is jumping into the race, stating, “I am running for president of the United States, and I’m very excited about it.”
“The American people deserve to have someone who is going to fight for them, who is going to see them, who will hear them, who will care about them and put them in front of self-interest,” she told co-hosts George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts.
Harris, the subject of presidential buzz since her election to the Senate in 2016, further stoked such speculation after releasing her memoir The Truths We Hold: An American Journey and subsequent book tour and media blitz last month.
Harris also shared an announcement video to social media, touting her long record as a public servant and vision for the country. “The future of our country depends on you and millions of others raising their voices to fight for our American values,” Harris said. “That’s why I’m running for president of the United States. To lift those voices. To bring our voices together.”
Without referencing his name, Harris criticized President Donald Trump’s policies and personal style, warning that justice and decency are “all on the line now.”
Before she was elected to the Senate, Harris served as the San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general for 12 years combined. Harris, who is the second black woman to serve in the Senate, announced her bid on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, signaling she will make civil rights a focal point of her campaign.
Appearing on ABC’s The View this month, Harris said the time has come for a woman of color to be president.
“Absolutely,” Harris replied when asked by co-host Abby Huntsman if America was ready. “Listen — I’m not saying that about myself, but I am saying that about the capacity of the American public.”
Harris recently discussed the ongoing government shutdown in an interview with MSNBC’s Morning Joe, accusing the president of “holding the American people hostage over his vanity project” — a reference to his proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall.
“The president is holding the American people hostage over his vanity project. That’s what’s happening,” said Harris. “This is a crisis of his own making. I find it outrageous, and it would be fascinating if it weren’t potentially so destructive to sit back and think that he’s talking about issuing an emergency order over a crisis of his own making.”
Harris joins what is expected to be a wide-open race for the Democrat presidential nomination. There’s no apparent front-runner at this early stage and Harris will face off against several Senate colleagues. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) have both launched exploratory committees, while Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) are also looking at the race.
If Booker enters the race, he and Harris could face fierce competition for support from black voters.
She plans a formal campaign launch in Oakland on January 27. The campaign will be based in Baltimore, with a second office in Oakland.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who unsuccessfully sought the 2016 Democrat nomination, is also considering a campaign. Several other Democrats have already declared their intentions, including Rep. John Delaney (D-MD) and former Obama administration housing chief Julian Castro.
Former Vice President Joe Biden and ex-Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) are reportedly considering presidential campaigns of their own.
“Kamala Harris is arguably the least vetted Democrat running for president, but it’s already clear how unqualified and out-of-touch she is,” Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Ahrens said of the California Democrat’s candidacy. “Her hometown paper says she was a bad manager as attorney general, and all she has to show for her brief time in the Senate is a radically liberal voting record.”
Harris is already planning her first trip to an early primary state as a declared candidate. On Friday, Harris will travel to South Carolina to attend the Pink Ice Gala in Columbia, which is hosted by a South Carolina chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, which the California senator pledged as an undergraduate student at Howard University. The sorority, founded more than 100 years ago, is a stronghold in the black community.
South Carolina, where black voters make up a large share of the Democratic electorate, is likely to figure heavily into Harris’s prospects. And early voting in Harris’s home state of California will overlap with the traditional early nominating contests, which could give the 2020 hopeful a boost.
Harris’s campaign team is already taking shape and includes several veterans of Democrat politics. Juan Rodriguez, who ran Harris’s 2016 Senate campaign, will manage her presidential bid. Her sister, Maya Harris, a former top adviser to Hillary Clinton, will be the campaign chair. The veteran campaign finance lawyer Marc Elias will serve as the Harris campaign’s general counsel, and Angelique Cannon, who worked for Clinton’s 2016 campaign, will serve as national finance director. David Huynh, who was Clinton’s director of delegate operations in 2016, will serve as a senior adviser. Further Lily Adams, a Clinton campaign alum who has worked as Harris’s spokeswoman, will be communications director. Her staff says she plans to reject the assistance of a super PAC, as well as corporate PAC money. Harris invested heavily in cultivating a digital, small-dollar donor network before her presidential bid.
Harris is likely to face questions about her law enforcement record, particularly after the Black Lives Matter movement and activists across the country pushed for a criminal justice overhaul. Harris’s prosecutorial record has recently come under new scrutiny after a blistering opinion piece in the New York Times criticized her repeated claim that she was a “progressive prosecutor,” focused on changing a broken criminal justice system from within.
In December, a top aide to Harris resigned over revelations he was involved in a harassment lawsuit and $400,000 settlement while working for the state Department of Justice.
Larry Wallace, a senior adviser in Harris’s Sacramento office, stepped down from his post after the Sacramento Bee inquired about the 2017 settlement, the newspaper reported.
The lawsuit by Danielle Hartley alleges Wallace harassed and demeaned her based on her gender while she was working for him, according to the Bee. Hartley says Wallace placed his computer printer under his desk and routinely asked Hartley to crawl under to refill it with paper, while he was sitting there and sometimes with other men in the room. He also asked Hartley to do personal tasks not related to work. Hartley began as Wallace’s assistant in 2011. She reported the harassment to her supervisor and felt she was retaliated against, according to the lawsuit. She was transferred to another Department of Justice office by the end of 2014.
“We were unaware of this issue and take accusations of harassment extremely seriously,” a Harris spokeswoman said at the time. “This evening, Mr. Wallace offered his resignation to the senator, and she accepted it.”

Annual Report: Planned Parenthood Did 332,757 Abortions in FY2017
Annual Report: Planned Parenthood Did 332,757 Abortions in FY2017
(CNSNews.com) -- Planned Parenthood released its 2017-2018 annual report over the weekend, revealing that the organization did 332,757 abortions in the fiscal year that ran from Oct. 1, 2016 to Sept. 30, 2017.
Planned Parenthood also reported that it received $563.8 million in revenue from “government health services reimbursements & grants” for the year ending June 30, 2018.
The 332,757 abortions Planned Parenthood says it did in fiscal 2017 was 11,373 more than the 321,384 abortions Planned Parenthood reported doing in fiscal 2016 (Oct. 1 2015 to Sept. 30, 2016).
[This table from page 25 of Planned Parenthood's 2017-2018 Annual Report cites the 332,757 abortions it performed in fiscal 2017.]
Planned Parenthood's government funding also increased, according to the report. The $563.8 million it received in government reimbursements and grants in the year that ended on June 30, 2018 exceeded by $20.1 million the $543.7 million it received in the year ending June 30, 2017.
In addition the 332,757 abortions it performed in fiscal 2017, the Planned Parenthood annual report also indicates that it carried out 248 female sterilization procedures, served 3,421 vasectomy clients and provided 631,510 “emergency contraception kits.”
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the United States, with more than 600 health centers, 357 of which provide medication-abortions. In 13 states, Planned Parenthood affiliates provide telemedicine abortions, which are abortions that take place without a doctor present at any point during the procedure.
[This table from page 28 of Planned Parenthood's 2017-2018 Annual Report cites the $563.8 million in government funding Planned Parenthood received in the year that ended on June 30, 2018.]
In 2018, the organization appointed a new president, Leana Wen, who has made efforts to re-brand Planned Parenthood as a healthcare organization by promoting its non-abortion services, such as birth control and testing for sexually transmitted infections.
Earlier this month, however, Wen said abortion access is still the “core mission” of Planned Parenthood.
Whaddaya Say MLK? Dr. King In The Age Of Intersectionality
When did we start valuing characteristics over character?
By: Mark Angelides
As the nation celebrates the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it has become all too common to use his mission to prop up one cause or another. Perhaps the man’s most famous quote regarding content and character has been forgotten in this era of intersectional hierarchy. What would Dr. King make of this sad new evaluation of worth that is now so rampant in the public square?
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
When King delivered these words in 1963, they resonated with those who would seek to create a society where values and actions counted far more than birth, breeding, or position. It was a clarion call to look past race, color, and creed. Unfortunately, one’s value to the “Beloved Community” has been distorted by the left and become nothing more than a hierarchical structure based on characteristics rather than character.
Where a voice is given more weight due to circumstance or lifestyle, it is a disservice to the idea of individuality and to the struggle for all people to be valued. To see people only in terms of their identity rather than their substance is a grave disservice to Dr. King and for that which he stood.Weighted Opinions
While it is arguable that white males have historically had access to platforms – and therefore “louder” voices – that others have been denied, it is not a realization of MLK’s dream that the opinions of this societal group are now being ranked of less worth than other groups. In an ideal world, weight would be placed on a person’s words if those words were worthy of it, not because of an individual’s inborn characteristics.
To suggest that one opinion is more valid than another based on identifiable features of the messenger is not only morally reprehensible, it is a poor argument. The logical fallacy of argumentum ab auctoritate (argument from authority), is more widely employed than many would care to admit.
How often do we hear that men should keep their mouths shut on women’s rights? Or that white folk have no input worth listening to on matters of race?
These flawed statements imply that the opposing side has a more superior argument by virtue of a characteristic they possess; this characteristic making them an “authority.” This is the antithesis of King’s central argument.
An argument should be able to stand on the merits of itself alone; if it can’t, then it is a poor argument. For example, a professor of racial studies and politics can make an argument for solving racial issues in America regardless of his or her skin color, and we should be able to assume that this person has a valid point. But to assume that an activist with no background in this field, but who happens to be black, has a point that is more valid than a white activist is faulty reasoning.
Character Not Characteristics
What was it that made our beloved community place more weight on characteristics rather than character? Certainly, there is an element of social justice warriorism to it, but that is only part of the picture.
The mass-production of televised news and opinion should not be ignored as a factor in this overvaluing of content based on protected characteristics. When the written word was the main source of information transfer, the sentiments expressed in these texts were largely judged on their individual merits and coherence. The content was judged as valid or wrong based on the subject matter as opposed to who delivered it.
We have entered an age where style is more important than substance
It has oft been observed that the quality of broadcasting has gone downhill in recent years, and although this opinion is open to the criticism of “golden age thinking,” can there be any doubt that bias and agenda-pushing have become more prevalent in recent years? This forced narrative, because it lacks genuine content, makes an appeal to authority in place of substance … and this is where the problem lies.
We have entered an age where style is more important than substance, where characteristics are more important than character. It is an era that falls far short of the dream that Dr. King articulated some 50 years ago. And we are all the lesser for it.
