New Yorker Writer: Second Amendment ‘Sanity’ = Gun Control

In recent years, some advocates of increased gun control have called for repeal or revision of the Second Amendment, but Adam Gopnik believes that either would be superfluous. In a Friday article, Gopnik asserted that “the only amendment necessary for gun legislation…is the Second Amendment itself, properly understood, as it was for two hundred years in its plain original sense. This sense can…

10 Worst Media Headlines Applauding Bill Nye’s Abortion Video

How ironic. A children’s entertainer who is anti-child. On Sept. 22, Big Think published a video starring Bill Nye, “The Science Guy,” attacking pro-lifers who need to “look at the facts,” when it comes to issues like abortion. The media followed his misleading lead – and applauded Nye for his “science,” from USA Today to Newsweek. Women’s sites also chimed in, like Bustle, which insisted Nye…

NY Times Indicts Jeb for 'Stuff Happens,' Invites Obama to Pile On

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush was blasted by the New York Times for allegedly dismissing the mass killings by a gunman at an Oregon community college as "stuff happens." The Times then invited President Obama to lambaste Bush's out-of-context two words in a Saturday print story.

As Planned Parenthood boss Cecile Richards prepared to testify to Congress about the filthy business she leads -- thanks in large part to an infusion of a half-billion dollars in federal funds every year – her marketing team tried to change the subject to everything else.

Not News: 10-Month Streak of Year-Over-Year Factory Activity Declines

Although it was very disappointing, the September Employment Situation Summary, which told us that the economy added only 142,000 seasonally adjusted jobs as hundreds of thousands of Americans withdrew from the labor force, was not the worst economy-related news of the day. That dubious honor belongs to the Census Bureau's Factory Orders report. At least the employment report showed more people…

WashPost: ‘3 Pinocchios’ to PP Supporters for ‘Slippery’ Language

Of all the hits Planned Parenthood has taken lately, none must be more demoralizing than the one coming from, of all places, The Washington Post. Really. In the wake of Tuesday’s congressional hearings on defunding America’s largest abortion mill, the Post took to “fact-checking” some of the claims PP supporters have been making – specifically regarding the non-abortion services the organization…
