"We will not be allowing insurance companies to extend their policies..."

In the wake of millions upon millions of Americans losing their health care insurance coverage due to mandates in the Affordable Care Act (aka: "ObamaCare"), Barack Obama announced he would change the law himself to fix the problem his signature legislation started to begin with. Yet within hours of his proclamation, health care insurance heavy hitters from Washington state to Washington, DC have hammered Obama's decree, as reported by both The Seattle Times and also by the Reuters news service on Nov. 14, 2013. While upwards of fifteen million fellow citizens have seen their privately purchased health care insurance cancelled due to their present policy not up to snuff with the requirements ordered upon all Americans, Obama stated today that he would order an Executive Branch "administrative fix" to the ACA law, thusly allowing health insurance companies to extend policies for individuals and families who have already received notices that their policies will be cancelled at the end of the year...

Without Congress, Obama Administration Joins War in Mali

Without permission from Congress or any constitutional authority to do so, the Obama administration pledged again this week to continue supporting the United Nations-approved war on rebels in Mali currently being led by the new socialist government of Fra

Analysts say the move puts the U.S. government even closer to being openly drawn into yet another unconstitutional war that will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications - especially the potential for more deadly anti-American "blowback." Defense Secretary Leon Panetta (pictured) told reporters that the Obama administration was plotting to provide air support and logistics for the French military campaign, which began openly over the weekend with aerial bombing campaigns of rebel targets. While claiming that putting American boots on the ground was not being considered "at this time," the defense chief admitted that the U.S. government would be continuing to help the war effort in multiple ways.

Mobile police have arrested one member of the mob. But they only expect to make three more arrests.

Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich says her office met with the U.S. Attorney, FBI and the police department about the Matthew Owens beating case. They want the feds to decide whether a hate crime was committed. Owens was beaten by a mob of 20 people Saturday night across the street from his sister's house on Delmar Drive. Despite witnesses telling News 5 that one of the attackers said "This is justice for Trayvon" after the beating, police say the shooting of the unarmed teenager in Samford, Florida was not the reason for this attack.

A violent encounter between a young pro-life protestor and an adult abortion activist in downtown Columbus, OH was caught on camera and published late July 9 on Youtube.

Students from the pro-life group "Created Equal" were standing on the street corner holding anti-abortion signs and talking with passers by when an infuriated pro-abortion woman approached one young man. "That's absolute f***ing lying there, you f***ing dipshit!," she screamed. "That is not what a fetus looks like, okay? It's a clump of cells at twelve weeks." In the rest of the two-minute encounter, she shoved her finger in the man's face and screamed 20 more f**ks in her incoherent "argument." Her hysterical rant was peppered with typical liberal condescension about "white male privilege" and claims of "racism" numerous times. The infuriated woman, apparently didn't think of how her behavior would look like for the company she works for, as she was still wearing her Burger King uniform.

Settlement follows appeals court declaring "First Amendment" right to record.

A local New Hampshire police department agreed Thursday to pay a woman who was arrested and charged with wiretapping $57,000 to settle her civil rights lawsuit. The deal comes a week after a federal appeals court ruled that the public has a "First Amendment" right to film cops. The plaintiff in the case, Carla Gericke, was arrested on wiretapping allegations in 2010 for filming her friend being pulled over by the Weare Police Department during a late-night traffic stop. Although Gericke was never brought to trial, she sued, alleging that her arrest constituted retaliatory prosecution in breach of her constitutional rights. The department, without admitting wrongdoing, settled Thursday in a move that the woman's attorney speculated would deter future police "retaliation."

A woman from Carbondale claims she suffered emotional and mental distress during an active shooter training exercise she claims she didn't know she was a part of.

Michelle Meeker is suing the Carbondale police chief and an officer. Her employer, the Heritage Park Care Center, where the exercise occurred October 13, 2013, is also listed in the complaint. In a complaint received by 9NEWS Tuesday, Meeker claims she was taken hostage by a man with a gun while at work at the assisted living center in Carbondale. Meeker says the gunman held her against her will while she begged for her life. According to the complaint, what she did not know at the time was that the man with the gun was a Carbondale police officer, and it was all a part of an active shooter drill that was taking place. Meeker claims that she was not informed of the training and suffered severe mental and emotional distress since the incident.

Women oppose contraception mandate on legal, medical grounds

Women in fields ranging from law to medicine denounced the Obama administration's contraception mandate, arguing that it violates religious freedom and promotes a culture that degrades women.

"This whole idea of contraception, sterilization and abortifacients as being necessary for a woman's health is actually demeaning to women," said Gloria Purvis, a policy director at a major financial services company and board member for the Northwest Pregnancy Center and Maternity Home. She explained that this idea is based on the belief "that women, because of our fertility, are deficient, and we need fixing," and warned that the mandate "further presses this false perception into the American psyche."

What does the Women's Suffrage Movement have to do with Mandatory Vaccination?

In 1850, Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton formed a partnership. They lead the movement to overcome the legal barriers that prohibited women from having voting equality. By 1906, both women had passed on. Fifty years of effort had won women the ballot in just four states: Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and Idaho. With the passing of the Movement's Leaders, the suffrage establishment did not die, but it had aged and had grown weary. It was said, "The Suffrage Movement bored its adherents and repelled its opponents." Then, in 1913, the fight for women's rights was refueled by a potent combination of education, frustration, anger and courage. They had one goal: a constitutional amendment allowing women the right to vote...

The Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation have released their annual Index of Economic Freedom for 2013, and bad news, friends: More top-down regulations, more federal intrusion, expanded deficit spending, and heightened rent-seeking are in fact not conditions conducive to economic freedom. Based on measures relating to the rule of law, limited government, regulatory efficiency, and open markets, the United States came in tenth place, following Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Canada, Chile, Mauritius, and Denmark. The least-free countries were Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Cuba, and North Korea in dead last.
