Problematic Women: Empowering the Next Pro-Life Generation

“Pro-Life Kids!” is a new book created to teach and empower the next generation. Bethany Bomberger, an adoptive mother, educator, and the executive director of the Radiance Foundation, created the book to highlight the value of every human being, before and after birth. We crown Bomberger as a Problematic Woman and interview her on what led to the creation of the book, her experience in the classroom, and her own pro-life journey. 

We also cover: 

  • Emma Watson recently coined the term “self-partnering.” The term refers to being fulfilled in your singleness, and Watson isn’t the only one pitching the idea. Rapper Lizzo’s song “Soulmate” might as well be the idea’s anthem. We also break down a New York Times opinion piece that dissects this idea with Maslow’s “hierarchy of needs” complementarianism, and what this mindset means for marriage and society. 
  • Appearing in The New York Times, “The Class of 2000 ‘Could Have Been Anything’” revealed shocking statistics and stories that show how personal and devastating drug addiction is in American families and communities. 
  • Tim Allen speaks up against PC culture in an interview on TV’s “The View.” He says thought police are “an alarming thing for comedians.”
  • During the Ohio State vs. Michigan college football broadcast, announcer Gus Johnson shared that star J.K. Dobbins, the Ohio running back, was almost aborted. 

Listen in the podcast below.

Virginia Allen: I am joined by Bethany Bomberger, author of the children’s book “Pro-Life Kids!” and the executive director of the Radiance Foundation, a life-affirming organization that is rooted in the belief that we are all created in God’s image and have undeniable purpose. Bethany, thank you so much for joining me.

Bethany Bomberger: Oh, it’s an honor. I’m so glad to be with you guys today.

Allen: So, you wrote the book “Pro-Life Kids!” to explain the value of each life to children, in a way that they could understand. So, how did the idea for the book come to you?

Bomberger: Well, I am so passionate about this new initiative, and for years I have been, I was teacher by profession. That’s my undergrad, my grad work and of course now, I’m a homeschooling mom of four amazing kiddos, adoptive and biological. And between all those jobs, if you will, and being the executive director of the Radiance Foundation, where we are passionate about illuminating the truth that every life has intrinsic value and our heart is to educate folks about a myriad of social issues in the context of God-given purpose.

So, because of those roles in my life, my heart was to really put together a book and an initiative that would also have supporting aspects to it for those that find it really difficult to talk about the human rights injustice of our day with our children.

I have had many, many conversations with parents, teachers, adults across the nation, really across the globe. And although they might have a pro-life worldview, they’re not sure how to articulate to their children what it means to be pro-life.

So, what the choice ends up being is they don’t talk about it. And so, my heart is to take something, being pro-life, children are naturally pro-life. And so, I believe that as adults who are pro-life, it should be our intention to help foster that natural inclination. So, my motivation was to take the fear out of discussing something very difficult, by enabling adults to have tools in their hand that already created, that will be a jump-off to talk about [a] very difficult social issue that is really rooted in creating a culture of life for children.

Allen: So, what has been the response, both from children and adults, to the book? Have you had parents saying, “Wow! This is such a practical tool that I can now use to talk to my children about this issue”?

Bomberger: I’m actually overwhelmed by the response. We were going to do a soft launch during Adoption Awareness Month in November, and we sold out in just the first few days of our first printing. And we have asked, we always put a little thank you in with the book, and so, we’ve said, “If anybody wants to share their thoughts or comments,” and we’ve just had the most amazing pictures that have been sent in of moms reading to their kiddos.

On paper, the book is like for [grades] K to five, but moms and dads that are reading to their preschoolers, older elementary school children. We got this one video, it was so precious, that as the child was just reading it out loud, it was prompting questions, and it was doing exactly what I was praying that it would do, opening up children’s eyes to understand the value of life and to be able to ask the hard questions.

But it’s neat, too, because we sold out in just a few days of our first run, but we’re seeing orders come in from everywhere across the states, but Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Dubai, and we’re saying, “OK, this is something that pro-lifers are hungry for.”

We no longer want to stay silent when it comes to empowering our children. I think we’re seeing across the nation, across the board, the influence of a broken worldview coming into our kids’ hearts and lives, especially in the public schools, in media, and television. And I know that if we don’t teach our children foundational truths from a very young age, a broken worldview will reach them.

Allen: And I want to ask you a little bit more about that broken worldview because you have, as you mentioned, you’ve been a teacher for so many years, both in public and private schools. So, you’ve had the opportunity to, firsthand, watch young children grow up and watch their perspectives form. So, have you seen a shift over, let’s say, the past decade in the way that children talk about the issue of life?

Bomberger: Absolutely. And there is a very pointed agenda that is looking to speak into our children’s hearts and minds from kindergarten and before. There is really a fight for their soul and a desire to influence at younger and younger ages. And over the years, I mean, I’m talking the last 20 years, to see the influence and how things have changed at these younger levels.

It’s amazing what we’re hearing kids say in high school and college, which is a result of the influence of what’s being taught at younger ages.

And it’s interesting, too, because there is such an onslaught of literature being placed in our schools, in our libraries, in kids’ hands.

I mean, of course, we can turn on the television and see the same broken worldview coming out in the programming, but very specifically getting books into hand and having teachers who are misguided in that they think they’re teaching freedom, but they’re really presenting a worldview that’s broken. And as we’ve looked into some of the books that are currently being shelved in school libraries and in public libraries, we’re seeing things like “Feminist Baby,” which is like a … book about a really warped perspective on what it means to be a feminist.

And we’re seeing Amelia Bonow, I believe that’s how we say her last name. She created the “Shout Your Abortion” campaign, and she has these videos that are going viral, where kids are meeting people who have had abortions in order to normalize them, but she’s now talking about releasing a kids book in 2020.

Glad that we beat her to the punch, and I’m praying that those don’t go very far. But there are books on the shelves. For instance one, it’s called “Sister Apple, Sister Pig,” and it is a children’s book that explains to young children why parents chose to abort the child’s sister. And they talk about how great it was that she had been aborted, and she’s now a ghost.

So, I know that when I was a child, we weren’t seeing this in a classroom. We weren’t, when I first began my teaching career, this was not the norm. And now we are seeing that this is the norm. My children are growing up in a world that is an onslaught of a really humanist agenda that allows for sexual identity to be presented in the form of things that will cause confusion.

Abortion is now being touted younger and younger as the
savior of their communities. And so my heart is that these children who are so
precious and so innocent and so like sponges, just ready to like drink up what
we give to them. We can’t overlook the opportunity that we have to speak into
their hearts and lives and not just change the trajectory of their life, but of
those that are in their sphere of influence.

Allen: What would you say to the mom or to the dad who wants to raise their children with this value of being pro-life and valuing every life? I mean, of course they should buy your book and start reading it to their children, but how do you, in a daily setting, continue that conversation with your child?

Bomberger: Well, my first thing is that, let’s dispel this fear that comes along with the thought of talking about the human rights issue of our day, which is abortion. And let’s understand that foundationally as parents, we need to be intentional about creating a culture of life, which is what so many moms do, right?

We have toddlers. We teach them to share from the ages of like 2, when they’re starting to realize that they want everything for themselves. We teach them, share and be kind. And that’s really part of this foundation of understanding that, why are we teaching them to be kind to others, because we want them to see other people as valuable.

We want them to grow up and understand that treating other people with respect will not only help them be better people, but help them to be better citizens and help us to have a better society.

So, my heart would be that, let’s not over complicate it. We don’t have to go into all of the deep graphic or philosophical reasons why abortion is wrong, but if we just are intentional about highlighting why everybody’s important, why older people are important, and younger, and that truth that says it doesn’t matter your size or your age or your level of development.

And I think there’s a lot of ways that we can create a culture that lays the groundwork for when they begin to understand at a different level, the gravity of abortion, that there’s already a standard by which they’re going to weigh that information.

And so, instead of fearing it as this big mountain that we can’t climb, understand that so many pro-life moms, dads, parents, grandparents have the mindset, but we have to be intentional, like you said, to do this on a daily basis and address how we deal with people and look at humanity in general.

Allen: So good. Can you share a little bit about your own pro-life journey? Have you always been passionate about the pro-life movement?

Bomberger: That’s a great question. Yeah, well, I grew up, and we were, I remember as a teen, being with my mom outside of abortion clinics, holding some signs while they were praying. And so it was ingrained into us from a young age that abortion was wrong.

We didn’t talk about it a lot in the house. It wasn’t something we talked about a lot. And it’s funny, I think back, and we also, we were very pro-adoption, but it wasn’t something that we talked about often either.

And I think part of as I grew and went into college and began to understand how some of my friends were finding themselves in positions where they were thinking about abortion, and I was presented with things that had been an idea in my mind, then became a reality: Now what are you going to do? How are you going to speak into this situation?

I know that from my earlier teenage years, really wanting to walk along the side of friends that were wanting to take what was given to them, what was touted as the easy way out, and really spent time and energy investing in their lives.

Over the years, I have grown to advocate for strong families and for the courageous decision of birth moms who have chosen to place. And as a teacher and seeing just the absolute beautiful impact that adoption can have. All of those things really helped for my pro-life view.

Then, when I was in my 20s, before Ryan and I were married, I conceived out of wedlock, my oldest daughter. And after really coming to grips with my personal choice and the way I had really turned my back on the Lord for a season in life, when I found that I was pregnant, went for an ultrasound at six weeks, I saw this little cute little rice, little piece of rice, it looked, like beating.

It was my daughter’s beating heart, and I did have a defining moment in that ultrasound room, and I just felt God’s heart just come around my heart and this baby’s heart. And I decided that everything I had already said I believed and was challenged when other people were walking through it, now became … personal to me.

And it’s really special because that night I said, “Lord, I’m just going to give my heart back to you.” And I opened an old journal and on the side of the journal, on the side of the page was written Proverbs 34:5, which says, “I sought the Lord. He delivered me from all my fears. Those that look to him will be radiant, and their faces will never be covered with shame.”

So, my oldest daughter’s name is Haley Radiance, because I decided that night that any selfish decisions that I had made that would not be the testimony she knew.

And I knew that from a pro-life perspective that it solidified, it cemented everything I’d ever thought, everything I’d ever shared with anybody else, because the rubber hits the road when you’re in that predicament, and you have to make the decision, and you’re faced with the fear.

And here we are, all these years later, married to my husband whose 1 of 10 that were adopted in his family. We’re adoptive parents, and we run the Radiance Foundation, which is predicated upon the exchanging of shame when you talk about some of these unplanned pregnancies, and you exchange that for glory and for the radiance of Christ.

And so, it’s very much been a journey for me, but it went from abstract to personal. And so, I feel like I just want to live from authentic place. And so, I think that’s partly why I’m so passionate about prolifekids.com and this initiative, because I know that what was spoken to me as a child has really influenced who I am today.

Allen: Yeah, no, and that is so evident by the way that you speak. That is just incredible to hear. Thank you, Bethany, for sharing your personal story. And wow, what an amazing way that the Radiance Foundation came about and that the Lord brought you on this journey.

So, you’ve mentioned a little bit about what you all do at the Radiance Foundation, but I want to give you an opportunity just to expand a little bit more and share, just on a day to day, how are you all journeying with women and walking with them, maybe through their pregnancy process or just spreading that pro-life message?

Bomberger: Awesome. Yes. Well, it’s been 10 years since my husband and I co-founded the Radiance Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization and our motto is “illuminate, educate, motivate,” because our heart is to illuminate that every life has purpose and intrinsic value.

So, we educate about a myriad of social issues, abortion, adoption, parenting, fatherlessness, poverty, all in the context of God-given purpose.

It has taken us to keynoting 50 to 60 events a year: conferences, summits, college debates on college campuses, lectures. My husband is Ryan Bomberger. He’s spoken at Harvard and Columbia Law School and all across the nation and even has flown across the globe in different countries, sharing and educating through multimedia presentations.

We also do this through fearless journalism. That’s what I like to say about my husband’s journalism. We write about these very difficult social issues in our heart, is that we can help people understand biblical, which is also a scientific perspective on these issues, which will empower people to not fear speaking about them from a biblical and a healthy perspective.

And ultimately, what good is all the education without putting it into action? What good is our faith unless it’s put into action? So, really, our heart at the Radiance Foundation is to motivate people to put their knowledge into action.

And so, like I mentioned, it comes out in the multimedia presentations and the journalism. We’ve done media campaigns across the nation, hundreds of billboards that have gone up with messaging and will allow people to go to sites that will give them information and help them to be educated.

And we also have done over the years community outreach. One of my favorites is Sally’s Lambs outreach, which is an outreach to courageous birth moms. We partner with those who have boots on the ground, with adoption case workers, with maternity homes.

We give them maternity clothes and gifts for the mamas that way, because we are each a different piece of the puzzle, and so, our heart is to help those that are doing things locally do them well, and of course, prolifekids.com is our newest initiative, which will prayerfully empower generations of children to be part of this movement.

Allen: And we were so excited for “Pro-Life Kids!” and just to watch the success of that book. It’s just so incredibly powerful. Where can our listeners find that book?

Bomberger: Awesome. Yeah. Prolifekids.com is fantastic. It is the best place to pick them up. And our second print should be here in the next week and a half.

So, our prayers, we can get them out to people in a timely fashion, because they’re great Christmas presents. And on the site, there’s also other things.

There’s a downloadables that make it easy to print off, for mamas to print off and let their kiddos color. There’s other bits and pieces of information that will help parents feel empowered. We have T-shirts and posters that are also available to help reinforce prolifekids.com.

And in the next few months, we have plans to put out some curriculum and some other things.

Our heart is long-term to just help. We see this as a long-term way to really elevate, really, a part of the movement, the pro-life movement; … Not that they’ve been overlooked, but we just haven’t seen them empowered, and so, prolifekids.com is the place to go.

Allen: Great! Thank you so much, Bethany.

Bomberger:
You’re so welcome.

Hillary Clinton Celebrates Impeachment: ‘No One Is Above the Law’

Hillary Clinton on Thursday reacted to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) instructing House Democrats to move forward by drafting articles of impeachment, remarking, “no one is above the law.”

“In the United States of America, no one is above the law,” Clinton wrote following Pelosi’s impeachment announcement:

Many on social media mocked Clinton’s stance, given her status of mishandling classified information and getting away with it relatively unscathed.

Her remarks come as no surprise, as she has publicly cheered the House Democrats’ impeachment efforts from the sidelines in recent weeks:

“The question is not whether Trump has committed impeachable crimes. He has,” she wrote last month. “The question is whether Republicans in Congress will affirm that an American president is not above the law”:

During a book promotion event at Portland’s Revolution Hall in October, Clinton cited “forecasters” who say it will be “very, very” hard to defeat Trump if the economy stays in good shape and he is not impeached:

We have a number of very able, very admirable candidates who are vying for the nomination, but at the end of the day, there are a lot of forecasters who are saying, ‘Look, if the economy stays in good shape and he’s not impeached, or he’s impeached but not convicted, it’s going to be very, very hard,’ because of all of the advantages that he will have on the stuff we were just talking about like suppression and everything else.

Pelosi announced the House will move forward with the impeachment of Trump, stating the facts are “uncontested.”

“The facts are uncontested. The president abused his power for his own political benefit,” she said:

She followed up on her announcement with a series of tweets:

She wrote:

Over the past few weeks, the American people have heard the testimony of truly patriotic career public servants, distinguished diplomats and decorated war heroes. The facts presented are uncontested. The President has engaged in abuse of power. The President’s abuse of power undermined our national security and jeopardized the integrity of our elections. His actions are in defiance of both the vision of our founders and his own oath of office. The President is a continuing threat to our democracy and leaves us no choice but to act. I am asking our Chairmen to proceed with articles of impeachment. #DefendOurDemocracy

The Trump campaign released a statement of its own noting impeachment “has always been their goal” and urging them to “just get on with it so we can have a fair trial in the Senate and expose The Swamp for what it is”:

LAPD Cop Allegedly Caught By His Own Bodycam As He Fondled Dead Woman’s Breasts

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) reported they were investigating an incident in which a policeman who responded to a call about a dead woman allegedly got caught on video by his own bodycam as he fondled the dead woman’s breasts.

According to The Los Angeles Times, the policeman and his partner arrived at the residential unit, and after the policeman who is under investigation confirmed the woman was dead, his partner went to the patrol car, leaving the cop under investigation alone with the dead woman. The Times reported, “During that time, the accused officer turned off his body-worn camera and allegedly fondled the woman’s breasts, LAPD officials said. Although the officer deactivated the camera, a two-minute buffer on the device captured the incident.”

LAPD chief spokesman Josh Rubenstein said, “We immediately launched an administrative investigation once we learned about the incident, and we assigned the officer to home.” Assistant Chief Robert Arcos said the video was “very disturbing.” ABC7 reported, “Rubenstein said this particular incident does not fall under the parameters of a critical incident mandating the release of such footage.”

The Los Angeles Police Protective League’s Board of Directors issued a statement to Fox News asserting: “If this allegation is true, then the behavior exhibited by this officer is not only wrong, but extremely disturbing, and does not align with the values we, as police officers, hold dear and these values include respect and reverence for the deceased. This behavior has no place in law enforcement.”

Fox News added, “Last month, the LAPD chief and the union reached an agreement to inspect body camera footage that doesn’t involve arrests or the use of force as a way to make sure officers are following guidelines … Prior to the agreement, supervisors could review recordings mostly on a complaint basis, and discipline officers for misconduct discovered in videos.”

In early November, The Los Angeles Times reported, “The inspections will allow supervisors to determine whether some officers need additional training or counseling to prevent instances of biased policing, (Police Chief Michel) Moore said. Supervisors will make sure officers aren’t rude and that they explain their actions when stopping people, he said.”

The 2019 Manual for the Los Angeles Police Department writes:

A police officer is the most conspicuous representative of government, and to the majority of the people, the officer is a symbol of stability and authority upon whom they can rely. An officer’s conduct is closely scrutinized, and when the officer’s actions are found to be excessive, unwarranted, or unjustified, they are criticized far more severely than comparable conduct of persons in other walks of life. Since the conduct of officers, on- or off-duty, may reflect directly upon the Department, officers must at all times conduct themselves in a manner which does not bring discredit to themselves, the Department, or the City.

It also states, “The officer in charge at the scene of a dead body shall prevent any person, other than a deputy coroner, from searching the body. Whenever possible, a witness, preferably a relative of the deceased or a member of the household, shall be requested to remain at the scene with the officer. The name and address of this person, and a statement verifying his presence, shall be included in the Death Report.”

Sharia and the Constitution

Not all who claim to follow Sharia really do. But Sharia calls for those who do not follow Sharia to be murdered, mutilated, tortured, raped, enslaved, repressed, and terrorized.

American law prohibits almost all of what is authorized by Sharia. There is no moral equivalence between Sharia and Judeo-Christian morality. There is no place for Sharia in America or in any society that strives to advance civilization.

Yet in America, criminally negligent officials violate American law by unlawfully permitting adherents to Sharia to hold sworn office as congressional representatives, judges, police officials, and other public offices. 

Law prohibits anyone to hold any sworn office who does not swear full allegiance to the Constitution, yet hordes of adherents to Sharia are unlawfully permitted to hold sworn office, whose allegiance is to a set of laws diametrically opposed to the Constitution. 

Allowing those who do not swear allegiance to the Constitution to hold sworn office is a path to national destruction. They strive to transform our society into one that is barbaric, genocidal, and perverse by normalizing the barbarism, violence, and perversion of Sharia in America. They seek to transform American law to permit that which law now prohibits. They seek to indoctrinate schoolchildren to accept as right that which is insane. They make no secret of these objectives but have published them.

No one anywhere has a right to do that which is authorized by Sharia. No one has a right to practice Sharia. 

America must absolutely reject every adherent to Sharia. America must refuse to permit them to hold any sworn office, and to punish criminally negligent officials who violate the law by permitting any to hold office who do not fully support and defend the Constitution.

The most nauseating MSM Deep-State puff-piece interview you’ll ever read

In an interview with Daily Beast contributor Molly Jong-Fast, the “lovely” Lisa Page insists she’s not even close to being a criminal.  Jong-Fast agrees.  How dare the poor, abused woman be put through this “MAGA meat grinder” for merely exercising her First Amendment right to hate the president?

Page couldn’t have chosen a better shoulder to cry on than Jong-Fast’s.  The daughter of sex-obsessed author Erica Jong  and granddaughter of communist writer Howard Fast, she offers Page a safe space to break her silence — away from “orange man bad,” away from invisible MAGA hat-wearing D.C. residents, and away from the DOJ officials who betrayed her.  Page is no criminal, writes Jong-Fast; her private texts were “hijacked by Trump to fuel his deep state conspiracy.”

Jong-Fast feels Page’s pain.  She should.  The pair share the same entitlement elitist sentiments.  Jong-Fast knows the horror of living on the same planet with the ordinary  common ruck who seriously think the laws that apply to them also apply to the chosen elites.

When Jong-Fast moved into her $5-million apartment facing Central Park, one of her contemporaries asked, “Will you be a neighborhood shopper?”  Jong-Fast replied, “I’m just not like that.  I mean, I’m happy for those people.  Quite frankly, they have to exist.  It’s important for the ecosystem; it’s like plankton.”

Page may not be on the same economic rung as Jong-Fast, but they both harbor an arrogant disdain for regular, everyday American “plankton.”  Page’s complicity in trying to subvert the will of 63 million Trump voters while serving in her official capacity as legal counsel for the FBI epitomizes the depth of this disdain.

Aside from the writer’s and subject’s obvious shared hatred of President Trump, contradictions abound in the article/interview.

Jong-Fast touts Page as “one of an elite group selected for admission in the Department of Justice Honors Program in 2006” after graduating from law school.  She was the only woman assigned to the Criminal Division.  One can assume from this biographical information that Page had to know a thing or two about lawyering.  Yet, when informed by the DOJ’s Inspector General’s Office that she was under investigation for  political text messages, Page tells Jong-Fast:

I have no idea what they’re talking about[.] … I have no recollection. And initially they’re very coy about it.  They don’t tell me much about it.  I don’t have the first clue what they’re talking about.  What I do know is that my text messages will reveal that I had previously had an affair.  I’m overwhelmed by dread and embarrassment at the prospect that OIG investigators, Andy, and my colleagues, now know or could learn about this deeply personal secret.

What savvy FBI lawyer could not recollect or understand the gravity of writing political and personal texts whole working as counsel to the FBI deputy director?  Hiding behind the Democrat-controlled CIA, FBI, and DOJ, Page, like her smug cohorts, truly believed that her texts would never see the light of day.  Trump would not win, and if he did, they “had an insurance policy.”

Jong-Fast, the writer, doesn’t care about the blatant absurdities in Page’s childish protestations.  She asks “the slightly crumbly around the edges lawyer” how she has been affected by President Trump’s “sickening” tweets.  Page tells her, “Honestly, his demeaning fake orgasm was really the straw that broke the camel’s back[.] … I decided to take my power back.”  But not until she blames nonexistent MAGA boogeymen for the mess she created.

According to Page, Trump-supporters have made her a paranoid basket case:

[O]therwise normal interactions take on a different meaning.  Like, when somebody makes eye contact with me on the Metro, I kind of wince, wondering if it’s because they recognize me, or are they just scanning the train like people do?  It’s immediately a question of friend or foe?  Or if I’m walking down the street or shopping and there’s somebody wearing Trump gear or a MAGA hat, I’ll walk the other way or try to put some distance between us because I’m not looking for conflict.

Did Page consult Jussie Smollett for this contrived story?  I haven’t been to D.C. in a couple of months, but I’m pretty sure there weren’t too many people walking around with Trump gear or MAGA hats.

At the end of the Daily Beast article, Jong-Fast shores up Page’s fake, anxiety-ridden helplessness by orgiastically claiming, “Lisa Page will never be safe as long as Trump is President.”

And initially they’re very coy about it.  They don’t tell me much about it.  I don’t have the first clue what they’re talking about.  What I do know is that my text messages will reveal that I had previously had an affair.  I’m overwhelmed by dread and embarrassment at the prospect that OIG investigators, Andy, and my colleagues, now know or could learn about this deeply personal secret.

What savvy FBI lawyer could not recollect or understand the gravity of writing political and personal texts whole working as counsel to the FBI deputy director?  Hiding behind the Democrat-controlled CIA, FBI, and DOJ, Page, like her smug cohorts, truly believed that her texts would never see the light of day.  Trump would not win, and if he did, they “had an insurance policy.”

Jong-Fast, the writer, doesn’t care about the blatant absurdities in Page’s childish protestations.  She asks “the slightly crumbly around the edges lawyer” how she has been affected by President Trump’s “sickening” tweets.  Page tells her, “Honestly, his demeaning fake orgasm was really the straw that broke the camel’s back[.] … I decided to take my power back.”  But not until she blames nonexistent MAGA boogeymen for the mess she created.

According to Page, Trump-supporters have made her a paranoid basket case:

[O]therwise normal interactions take on a different meaning.  Like, when somebody makes eye contact with me on the Metro, I kind of wince, wondering if it’s because they recognize me, or are they just scanning the train like people do?  It’s immediately a question of friend or foe?  Or if I’m walking down the street or shopping and there’s somebody wearing Trump gear or a MAGA hat, I’ll walk the other way or try to put some distance between us because I’m not looking for conflict.

Did Page consult Jussie Smollett for this contrived story?  I haven’t been to D.C. in a couple of months, but I’m pretty sure there weren’t too many people walking around with Trump gear or MAGA hats.

At the end of the Daily Beast article, Jong-Fast shores up Page’s fake, anxiety-ridden helplessness by orgiastically claiming, “Lisa Page will never be safe as long as Trump is President.”

Global warming, global cooling, climate change, climate emergency, climate catastrophe, climate collapse, or existential threat?

What wets your whistle? It’s another day and another dire warning from the UN. Of course, almost 100% of the media repeats these dire warnings in order to indoctrinate the public, especially the young, with no questions asked as the media pretends they are fact checkers. 

What is always missing from these articles and warnings is factual historical data. There are no statistics to show how little the temperature has changed the last 140 years, only made up numbers about the future. There are no statistics to show how little the sea levels have changed the last 140 years, only threats about the future. There are also no statistics on hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards or drought the last 149 years, only made up numbers about the supposed threat. 

Somehow, these supposedly educated journalists never point out how wrong previous predictions have been, but the solution is always to transfer freedom and trillions of dollars to bureaucrats and politicians throughout the World. 

Today we only have a few years left and the cost has gone up substantially. Is it any wonder that the birth rate is so low when most of the people pushing the climate catastrophe crap also support abortion on demand at any stage of the pregnancy and we are told that humans are destroying the Earth and they are going to die soon anyway so why bring children into the World?

U.N. Chief Warns “Point of No Return” on Climate Change “Is in Sight”

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres isn’t mincing words when it comes to issuing a dire warning about the global climate crisis, saying that the effort to stop climate change has been “utterly inadequate.”

No one should want their children to live in this ‘bleak’ future

In 1989, the UN also warned that we only had a few years left and journalists, like puppets without a brain, just repeated the warnings with no questions asked.

U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked

A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000

In 1970, we were all going to die soon from global cooling and journalists, like puppets without a brain, just repeated the garbage with no questions asked.  

18 spectacularly wrong predictions made around the time of the first Earth Day in 1970, expect more this year

In January 1970, Life reported, “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….”

The dire warnings to scare the kids and public have been going on for at least 97 years and as always journalists just repeat the fear with no questions asked. 

 The Global Warming Apocalypses That Didn’t Happen 

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer, and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.” — from an Associated Press report published in The Washington Post on Nov. 2, 1922.

It would be much easier and cheaper if the 1922 article was continually rerun as the predictions and warnings are essentially the same. 

Here is an easy question who push the indoctrination on the climate: How did the catastrophic warnings go from global warming in 1922 to global cooling in 1970 if rising CO2, the rapidly increasing population and an exponential rise in fossil fuel use cause warming?

Journalists are worthless if they just push policies with no questions asked. In 1922 it was global warming; in 1970 it was global cooling. In 1989, it was global warming again and then it changed to climate change. Then that wasn’t enough, so it has evolved into climate disaster, climate catastrophe and an existential threat greater than terrorism. Politicians are obviously poll testing to see what scares people the most. 

Here is a hint to journalists and other Democrats: The protests in Hong Kong, France, Venezuela, Iran and elsewhere have nothing to do with climate change. The cartels in Mexico have nothing to do with climate change. The illegal immigrants seeking to come to the U.S. are not coming because of climate change. The Syrian refugee crisis did not occur because of climate change and the terrorist who stabbed people in London this past weekend did not do it because of climate change. 

The climate, through billions of years, has always changed cyclically and naturally yet those of us who truthfully state this are called stupid, anti-science and deniers. The purpose of calling us stupid and deniers is to discourage questions and debate, especially among the young. Not asking questions breeds stupidity. Journalists are major contributors to the breeding of stupidity because they not only won’t ask questions, they stifle the speech of those who do. 

The purpose of breeding stupidity is to make people willing to hand over money, freedom and power to greedy politicians and make a greater share of people dependent on government for everything and that is the Democrats’ goal. 

The greater existential threat to our freedom, democracy and prosperity is indoctrination on climate change, not climate change itself.

Sex, lies, and videotape in the firing of Chicago’s top cop

It looks like big scandal is brewing in the Chicago Police Department, an agency already deeply troubled. This time, it is not a street cop shooting someone, but the top cop’s shenanigans that got him fired by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and signs that a cover-up was underway. Fran Spielman, Frank Main, and Sam Charles of the Chicago Sun-Times explain:

Multiple Chicago police employees are under investigation for allegedly engaging in a widespread cover-up to protect then-Supt. Eddie Johnson and conceal the circumstances surrounding an Oct. 17 drinking and driving incident that Mayor Lori Lightfoot says Johnson lied about, prompting her to fire him weeks before his retirement.

Johnson was found slumped over in his police SUV at around 12:30 a.m. that day, near the 3400 block of South Aberdeen — after dismissing his driver and trying to drive himself home.

The alleged cover-up took place “that night and the next day” and could end up being “even worse than” the incident itself, said a source familiar with Inspector General Joseph Ferguson’s ongoing investigation.

Those are the lies.

Here’s the sex and videotape:

Rather than having “a couple of drinks” during a “dinner with friends,” as Johnson told the mayor, sources said the now-former superintendent spent three hours drinking at Ceres Cafe — a restaurant known for pouring large drinks to patrons from the nearby Chicago Board of Trade — with a woman whom he had promoted to his security detail shortly after becoming the city’s top cop.

Sources said Johnson and the woman, who has since been reassigned to another job in the police department, are seen on restaurant video kissing repeatedly.

Readers may recall that ex-Superintendent Johnson refused to attend President Trump’s speech to the  nation’s assembled police chiefs at the International Association of Chiefs of Police in late October, even though they were meeting in his own town of Chicago.  Don Surber this added hm to his Trumpenfreude list of people who have gone against Trump and encountered disaster.

As scandals go, this is almost as juicy as Jussie.

BOOM! President Trump Calls Out “Two-Faced” Trudeau After Clip Goes Viral of Canadian Leader Mocking Trump When He’s Out of the Room (VIDEO)

As we predicted last night — “This won’t end well for boy blackface.”

During a little break at the NATO meetings in London Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was seen mocking US President Donald Trump with other world leaders — while President Trump is out of the room.

Trudeau, who acts like a shy school girl in Trump’s presence, mocked Trump to French President Macron, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and Boris Johnson from the UK over drinks.

On Wednesday President Trump responded to the Canadian leader, “Well, he’s two-faced.”

The US President then went on to add, “And honestly, with Trudeau, he’s a nice guy. I find him to be a very nice guy but the truth is I called him out on the fact that he’s not paying 2% (to NATO) and I guess he’s not very happy about it… Lok I’m representing the United States and he understands that.”

TRUMP WINS AGAIN!

U.N. Cries Poor [Again]: Issues Unprecedented $29 Billion Emergency Funding Appeal

The cash-strapped United Nations has issued an unprecedented global appeal for funds, claiming Wednesday it needs an immediate injection of $29 billion of global taxpayer money as “climate change” and global conflicts pressure existing budgets.

The world body’s Global Humanitarian Overview estimated some 168 million people worldwide will need emergency assistance in 2020, with demand a direct product of “more extreme weather events, notably drought and flooding, which trigger humanitarian emergencies,” U.N. emergency relief coordinator Mark Lowcock said.

His plea for cash comes just two months after a series of cutbacks began at the U.N.’s New York headquarters, starting with the heating being turned down, the diplomats’ bar shuttering early at 5pm and meetings canceled along with diminished first class global travel budgets.

As Breitbart News reported, the globalist organization is currently running a deficit of $230 million at the same time it has invited 25,000 delegates to fly into a two-week conference on climate in Madrid, Spain.

Lowcock said the latest appeal for more money followed a continued rise in global conflicts that “are becoming more protracted and intense” which meant more money was needed by the U.N. if it was to play its part in global peace.

“Combatants display total disregard for humanitarian law,” with the result that civilians caught up in conflict are increasingly likely to be displaced or traumatised psychologically, he said, adding the number of attacks on schools and health facilities continues to rise.

In addition, climate change has unleashed more extreme weather events, notably drought and flooding, which trigger humanitarian emergencies, he claimed.

“The brutal truth is that 2020 will be difficult for millions of people,” Lowcock said, echoing U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and his recent announcement of renewed financial pressures:

Of the 168 million people who are expected to require assistance next year, the $28.8 billion (26 billion euro) U.N. appeal is targeting the 109 million who are most in need and whom U.N. agencies are in a position to help.

The U.N. is seeking more than $3 billion to address humanitarian crises in Yemen and Syria, the countries most in need, with Venezuela nominated as the country where needs have increased the most in the past year.

The U.N. sought nearly $740 million for Venezuela for 2019, but as the country’s devastating economic and political crisis has intensified, that figure has risen to $1.35 billion.

U.N. funding has been a vexed issue in the past few years, with U.S. President Donald Trump being particularly outspoken in his demands for the globalist organization to be more accountable for its spending.

The United States is by far the U.N.’s biggest financial contributor, stumping up 22 percent of its operating budget and funding 28 percent of peacekeeping missions, which currently cost $8 billion annually. The UK and Germany are the next two major backers.

Trump has cautioned the “future does not belong to globalists” in a warning to the organization’s leaders, adding, “the future belongs to patriots, the future belongs to sovereign and independent nations.”

Responding to reports of deep U.N. budget deficits, Trump showed little sympathy for its inability to manage its own bloated budget, the bulk of which is provided by U.S. taxpayers:

“So make all Member Countries pay, not just the United States!” he wrote when the news first broke:

“The United States is the world’s largest giver in the world, by far, of foreign aid. But few give anything to us,” Trump said in September last year.

“Moving forward, we are only going to give foreign aid to those who respect us and, frankly, are our friends. And we expect other countries to pay their fair share for the cost of their defense.”

In December 2017 Nikki Haley, the then United States Ambassador to the organization, announced the federal government had reduced its contribution to the U.N.’s annual budget by $285 million, as Breitbart News reported.
