Rep. Rob Wittman: The most vulnerable among us deserve the right to live (FOX News)
We’re in the middle of a national debate brought on by a new level of extremism on abortion policy I never thought I’d see, especially in my home state, the Commonwealth of Virginia.
It’s important to note how we got here. Earlier this year, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northamseemingly endorsed infanticide and a Virginia House of Delegates bill to radically roll back abortion restrictions during a radio discussion outlining how doctors would handle an infant born alive in an attempted abortion. When I first heard the exact comments from Gov. Northam, I was shocked. The entire Virginia Congressional Republican delegation joined me in asking our governor to clarify his remarks and condemn the bill expanding access to abortion up until birth. [Read More]
If you’re Bryce Harper, you can’t come home again. If you must, it helps to smack a two-run homer out of the park.
Before Harper sent a 458-foot bomb into the frigid air at Nationals Park Tuesday night, the homecoming wasn’t so rosy for the 26-year-old and newly minted 330-million-dollar man. He faced off against Max Scherzer, arguably the best pitcher in the league. (Some may call that bias, but Scherzer has three Cy Young Awards to back it up). [Read More]
THE WORLD MIGHT ACTUALLY RUN OUT OF PEOPLE (The Wired)
YOU KNOW THE story. Despite technologies, regulations, and policies to make humanity less of a strain on the earth, people just won’t stop reproducing. By 2050 there will be 9 billion carbon-burning, plastic-polluting, calorie-consumingpeople on the planet. By 2100, that number will balloon to 11 billion, pushing society into a Soylent Green scenario. Such dire population predictions aren’t the stuff of sci-fi; those numbers come from one of the most trusted world authorities, the United Nations. [Read More]
Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline (Amazon)
From the authors of the bestselling The Big Shift, a provocative argument that the global population will soon begin to decline, dramatically reshaping the social, political, and economic landscape.
For half a century, statisticians, pundits, and politicians have warned that a burgeoning planetary population will soon overwhelm the earth’s resources. But a growing number of experts are sounding a different kind of alarm. Rather than growing exponentially, they argue, the global population is headed for a steep decline. [Read More]
Trump says ‘young bartender’ AOC has Dems ‘shaking’: ‘They’re petrified of her’ (FOX News)
President Donald Trump mocked freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Tuesday over her signature Green New Deal, referring to the progressive proposal to combat climate change as being “done by a young bartender.”
Trump didn’t explicitly name Ocasio-Cortez in his address at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner in Washington, though he cautioned lawmakers against being too quick to defeat the plan, in hopes of campaigning against it in his 2020 re-election bid, the Hill reported. [Read More]
Comey says he fears possible counterinvestigation after Mueller report (Politico)
Former FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday condemned President Donald Trump’s calls for a possible investigation into how special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia inquiry started, adding that it creates a troubling precedent.
During an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Comey was asked about whether he feared possible counterinvestigations. [Read More]
