'God Bless the USA' Parody About VA Incompetence Should Be the Soundtrack to the Obama Admin

Just what Washington needs to hear...

Comedian and parody musician Remy sets out to show just how wrong the government's treatment of our veterans has been in recent years. The message is hilarious - but also infuriatingly true. Long wait times and secret lists that result in our nation's heroes dying before they can get medical care - all while the VA spends hundreds of millions on solar panels - isn't right, plain and simple. And it's not going to get better unless we demand that it does.

Shorter Ann Curry: Your religious beliefs represent hate speech!

Make no mistake about it, this is all about going after the Christian Church. Same-sex marriage, GLAAD's fascist rampages, and all of this Orwellian political correctness is part of long-term goal -- and that's to make Christian beliefs a form of bigotry and to force a left-wing agenda on the church all under a Trojan horse labelled "discrimination."

'I Was Drunk' Is Not a Defense to a Crime

There are many criminal defenses you can raise at trial, but being drunk is generally not one of them.

The law does differentiate between voluntary and involuntary intoxication. The involuntary type can often be a defense, but you have to prove that you didn't know you would become intoxicated -- for example, by showing that someone else spiked your drink. If you had a beer knowing it was beer, however, that's voluntary. The weird part is that on the surface, voluntary intoxication seems like it should get you out of trouble. But courts generally don't allow it. Here's why...

Michele Hall has decided to leave the security of her Vernon Parish home, split her family and head West in hopes that medical marijuana will help her epileptic daughter find relief from uncontrollable seizures.

Four-year-old Ella Grace takes six different medicines, which her mom says don't work and give her side effects just as bad - and sometimes worse - than the seizures. So, Hall said this week it looks as if she and two of her children, including Ella Grace, will be Colorado residents by the end of October. There, Ella Grace will have access to cannabidiol, a compound of marijuana, which people consume in oil form.

Carrol Krause, a former reporter for the Herald-Times of Bloomington, Indiana, had to retire from her journalism career because of an ovarian cancer diagnosis in 2014.

A few months ago she started having digestive issues and could no longer eat normal food. What hospice workers brought her as meal replacements horrified her. Krause writes: "Hospice had the very best of intentions, [but] the stuff they sent over was not real FOOD. In fact, I'm outraged at the idea that they feed this stuff to dying people." What the hospice provided to Krause was a bag full of products by Ensure: pudding, shakes, and a drink that pretends to be apple juice.

"From now til Election Day the GOP should simply run clips of Obama insisting this wasn't a tax," Bozell said.

"The incredible irony here is that in upholding Obamacare, Roberts et. al. have formally also declared Obama to be a monumental liar," said L. Brent Bozell III, president of the conservative Media Research Center, the parent organization of CNSNews.com. "And in the most bizarre twist of them all, they upheld the lie by declaring this to be a tax."

The ruling comes today from Judge Fortunato P. Benavides, of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in arguments in a lawsuit brought by abortion providers against the law, H.B. 15, which was signed on May 19, 2011, by Gov. Rick Perry.

That an abortion can cause grave mental injury to a woman is documented in a number of studies, and now the testimony from those victims will be heard in a dispute over the new Texas state law that requires abortion providers to perform a sonogram before destroying the unborn baby. The Texas Medical Providers Performing Abortion Services brought a challenge to halt the enforcement of the law and a trial court issue a preliminary injunction on Aug. 15. But the women who gathered to prepare the friend-of-the-court brief regarding their own injuries believe its important for future abortion patients to have the knowledge they didn't.

After last night's Republican debate over national security and foreign policy, CNN called upon Tom Foreman to check some of the facts asserted by the candidates, in a segment entitled "Keeping Them Honest."

It soon became clear that Foreman and CNN were not interested in checking the candidates' facts-which were correct in each case-but in checking their opinions, while misleading viewers about the candidates' honesty.

Dustin Strout has no family. He has resided in a mental institution, two group homes, five foster homes, several friends' homes and numerous homeless shelters for nearly 20 years, but nowhere within those places did his family reside.

"I didn't want toys; I wanted family love." Strout remembers crying over not having a biological mother. "I wanted the person who gave birth to me to be there," he said. By the time Strout was 9, he had entered and left four more foster homes. "They just didn't know how to deal with me because I had so much confusion and so much anger."

'Little or no warning': Obama draws up worldwide cyber-attack target list

President Barack Obama ordered national security leaders to compile a list of potential overseas "adversaries" for US cyber-attacks which could be targeted with "little or no warning", a top secret document reveals.

The 18-page, classified document, entitled Presidential Policy Directive 20, outlines plans for Offensive Cyber Effects Operations (OCEO), cyber-attacks which would target US adversaries around the world. "OCEO can offer unique and unconventional capabilities to advance US national objectives around the world with little or no warning to the adversary or target and with potential effects ranging from subtle to severely damaging," the Washington Post cites the document as saying. "The United States government shall identify potential targets of national importance where OCEO can offer favorable balance of effectiveness and risk as compared with other instruments of national power," it continues. The directive also mulls the potential use of cyber actions within the US, though any such operations must be conducted with prior authorization of the White House, unless "it qualifies as an Emergency Cyber Action."
