For decades it has been a practice in Congress to make sure that federal funds do not go to pay for abortions. But now it has been learned that Obamacare will be used to fund abortion coverage for lawmakers and their staffers.
The Washington Times recently reported that the Office of Personnel Management ruled that members of Congress and their staffs will be able to buy health care plans that pay for abortions even though most of the costs of the premiums are funded by federal subsidies (known as the Congressional exemption from Obamacare).
“Under the terms of Obamacare, lawmakers and their aides are required to ditch their government-sponsored plans and buy insurance on state-based health care exchanges,” the paper reports, “though unlike most people on the exchanges, the staffers and members will have most of the costs of their premiums paid by their employer–in this case, taxpayers.”

Obamacare Pays for Abortions for Lawmakers and Staffers”
A recent Politico story did double duty by misleading readers and attempting to make Texas Senator Ted Cruz look bad with a headline and first paragraph that simply aren’t really true.
President Obama is again saying “you didn’t build that,” America.
Worried about a government shutdown? Don’t be. It won’t affect you much. But that isn’t what the left and the Old Media establishment are saying. They are making this a doomsday scenario and the false rhetoric they are doling out to America is similar to the BS that we saw during the 2008 debate (see video below) over bailouts and stimulus spending–you know, that spending that didn’t stimulate anything but the pockets of government union members? Yeah, that stimulus.
Shepard Fairey is famous for having created one of Obama’s most iconic propaganda campaigns–the Obama “Hope” poster–and for being one of the President’s biggest early fans. But the end of this Fairey tale is at hand as the artist is now saying that Obama’s use of death from the skies turned him against the President.
Piers Morgan got a slap on his own show from no less than Bill Clinton who delivered a not so subtle dig on CNN’s ratings decline.
The Republican establishment led by such folks as Senators Mitch McConnell and John McCain don’t want to fight the Democrats. But after this latest Obamacare funding fight, we have discovered that there is a side they will attack: other Republicans.
Many in the media and the left claim that it is absurd when people say that the only reason Democrats care about amnesty is so that they can get millions of instant Democrat voters, but not every leftist tries to hide behind that lie. Some leftists, Like ACORN’s Bertha Lewis, are telling the truth. 
CNN has announced that its HLN network will be helmed by television executive Albie Hecht starting September 30. Hecht is a long-time TV executive that has headed up several other channels, but he is also a big donor to the Democrat Party.
Before they had any facts at all, a handful of liberals in politics and the media immediately jumped on TV using the Navy Yard shooting to blame so-called “assault rifles,” and the AR-15 in particular, and others used the crime to push their political ideology. As it turned out, though, there was 
New York’s billionaire Mayor Michael “Nanny” Bloomberg is well known as a hater of our Second Amendment rights, of course, but he has been caught again lying about the true facts in order to push his ideology on the country. This time he was caught lying about how many children are shot in America.
A leaked copy of a UN report on global warming says that scientist’s claims that global warming was going to destroy us were drastically wrong.
We are hearing from many of our representatives that it just isn’t possible to defund Obamacare because the House rules say they can’t. This, as it happens, is just a dodge. The House has defunded separate things while passing the rest of a budget many times.
Illinois’ 14th District Congressman, Randy Hultgren, is a co-sponsor of a bill to create a national Science Laureate. This position will be little else but a chance for Obama to push someone into the national debate that supports all his favorite, left-wing pseudo scientific ideas like global warming, abortion, so-called green energy, and anti-fracking policy ideas. Hultgren needs to be urged to remove his support for this bill.
The Syrian rebels that Obama wants to help have been accused of dismembering a precious little girl with a hand saw, WHILE she was still alive. These are the people that Barack Obama thinks are the good guys in Syria.
