Pro-Life Win Coming Soon? First State To Be CLINIC FREE
Thanks to the tireless effort from brave pro-life advocates, voters, and
 politicians, there are a total of seven states that have only one abortion 
clinic left: Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Missouri, 
West Virginia, and Kentucky.

In Kentucky, the pro-life movement and mothers and their babies are on
 the cusp of another major victory: ridding the state entirely of the death 
clinics.

In a matter of weeks, the last abortion clinic in the state, EMW Women's
 Clinic in Louisville, could be forced to pack up their sopher clamps and 
close their doors, thanks to Republican Governor Matt Bevin.

According to Bevin, EMW — which was caught performing abortions 
without a license in 2016 — "is not in compliance with a state law that
 requires it to have hospital and ambulance service agreements for patient 
emergencies," reported Life News in September.

Keystone XL Is A Go!


 
BREAKING NEWS
The Trump administration said it would issue a permit for construction of the long-disputed Keystone oil pipeline

Friday, March 24, 2017 8:09 AM EDT


The Trump administration announced Friday that it would issue a permit for construction of the Keystone oil pipeline, a long-disputed project that would link producers in Canada and North Dakota with refiners and export terminals on the Gulf Coast.
The announcement by the State Department reversed the position of the Obama administration. It followed a 60-day review that was set in motion as one of the first acts of President Trump’s tenure.

For Environmentalists, Dakota Pipeline Protesters Don't Seem Interested in The Environment (Or Puppies)

DESPICABLE: Dakota Access Pipeline Protesters Left Behind Trash . . . And Puppies

It was incredibly nasty when protesters at the Dakota Access Pipeline trashed the environment by leaving their tons of garbage strewn so widely thousands of trucks will be needed to haul it away before it pollutes the area’s water supply. Gov. Doug Burgum (R) told KFGO, “This is probably the biggest ecological mess on the entire Missouri River system from top to bottom in this country.”
But the protesters went beyond nasty; they were also heartless, leaving behind puppies to fend for themselves in the cold.

As The Washington Free Beacon reports, Furry Friends Rockin Rescue, a local animal rescue in Bismarck, North Dakota, found and rescued two abandoned dogs and six puppies that were left behind. Julie Schirado, founder of Furry Friends, said some of the dogs have frostbite, wounded paws, and signs of hypothermia, as well as other issues. She told KFYR, “It’s a mess down there, so it’s really, really hard to find these animals and get them. She told MyNDNow.com, “We don't know if they have parvo distemper from what they might be eating or feeding if they don't get fed properly."
Over one dozen abandoned dogs left the protest site have no permanent homes; roughly 20 dogs have been left there.
Tiffany Hardy, a Furry Friends volunteer, told KFYR:
We have a couple cases of mange, we might have had some, I know we've had some problems with claws that haven't been clipped before . . . Extremely sad being these guys were left behind. But we offer, Furry Friends offers hope. I mean there's so much hope within Furry Friends as far as these puppies finding homes. If we can offer them luck and offer them a home, we're going to try and find that for them.
“We don't know if they have parvo distemper from what they might be eating or feeding if they don't get fed properly."
JULIE SCHIRADO, FOUNDER OF FURRY FRIENDS
Schirado concluded, "It's a collaborative effort for everybody. We thank our law enforcement and all the people helping clean the site up.”
Furry Friends is seeking food, blankets, and money to offset the cost of veterinarian bills. Their website is furryfriendsrockinrescue.org.

Get Over It, Pipeline Protesters Lost!

LOL: Police Arresting Dakota Access Pipeline Protesters Who Won’t Leave

100 protesters left voluntarily, but there were still between 25 to 50 protesters remaining in the Oceti Sakowin camp site; if they refuse to leave they will also be arrested. Oceti Sakowin was the camp closest to where the Dakota pipeline will plunge underneath the Missouri River. 10,000 people were gathered at the camp at one point. Protesters burned wooden structures at the camp before they left.
The Chicago Tribune reported, “Eighteen National Guardsmen and dozens of law officers entered the camp from two directions shortly before midday Thursday, along with several law enforcement and military vehicles. A helicopter and airplane flew overhead.”
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum stated, "Anybody that's there is trespassing, so anybody that's there is breaking the law. Anyone who obstructs our ability to do cleanup will be subject to arrest. You know that our big ask for tomorrow is anyone remaining in the camp, we want to make sure that they know they have an opportunity to voluntarily leave. Take your belongings, remove anything that may be culturally significant and we'll help you get on your way if you need to do that."
North Dakota Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Tom Iverson said that the protesters were given two extra hours to leave on Wednesday; he added that law enforcement officials were approached by "agitators" who approached the law enforcement line "provoking them."  North Dakota officials even offered to bus protesters to a travel assistance center, where they could stay and be fed.
The Seattle Times reported, “Police also had a SWAT vehicle on hand Thursday in case of what Highway Patrol Lt. Tom Iverson described as a worst-case “SWAT scenario” — an armed person barricading themselves in a structure in the camp.”
Iverson stated, "We knew this day was going to come.”

Whenever Protesters Get Together, Their Trash Is A Reminder That They Are NOT Environmentally Friendly

The Trash Is Upright at Standing Rock

When environmentalists litter.

The Standing Rock protest may be over, but here's one thing that won't be over for quite some time: the standing mountain of trash that the ever-so-environmentally concerned protesters of the Dakota Access Pipeline left behind when they abandoned their makeshift camp on the Standing Rock Indian reservation in North Dakota at the end of 2016. The Washington Times reports:
Clean-up crews are racing to clear acres of debris at the largest Dakota Access protest camp before the spring thaw turns the snowy, trash-covered plains into an environmental disaster area.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday that the camp, located on federal land, would be closed Feb. 22 in order to "prevent injuries and significant environmental damage in the likely event of flooding in this area" at the mouth of the Cannonball River in North Dakota.

"Without proper remediation, debris, trash, and untreated waste will wash into the Cannonball River and Lake Oahe," the Corps said in its statement.

Those involved in the clean-up effort, led by the Standing Rock Sioux, say it could take weeks for private sanitation companies and volunteers to clear the expanse of abandoned tents, teepees, sleeping bags, blankets, canned food, supplies and just plain garbage littering the Oceti Sakowin camp.
An update from West Dakota Fox:
Sanitation crews are working hard to dispose of six months' worth of garbage from a community the size of Wahpeton or Valley City. The mountains of debris need to be moved before the spring thaw occurs.

Making a dent in the immense amount of trash being hauled out of the Oceti Sakowin protest camp is being hindered by the weather. All the garbage that was left behind is now frozen into massive chunks of junk.

In a month, all this trash could become toxic

"Standing Rock Environmental Protection Agency and Dakota Sanitation are working together to try and advert an environmental tragedy," says Tom Doering, Morton County Emergency Manager.

It's estimated it will take 250 trucks filled with litter to clear the camp.
"Environmental tragedy"? Isn't it supposed to be an environmental tragedy if the pipeline is actually built? According to NBC News:
The controversial pipeline, which protesters and environmental activists say has destroyed cultural sites and will harm the surrounding areas — potentially contaminating the drinking water of indigenous people living in the pipeline's path — has spurred months of protest, including camps maintained in a sub-zero North Dakota winter.
The Standing Rock Sioux, the main Native American tribe involved in the protest, went so far as to assert that construction of the 1,172-mile oil pipeline would involve the bulldozing of "sacred sites" in their indigenous religions. The "Stand With Standing Rock" website displays a poetic video of Indians clad in traditional deerskins and feathers conducting a ritual on the pipeline site.
But somehow the sense of the sacred—that had attracted thousands of activists, including such disparate left-leaning advocacy groups as Code Pink and Black Lives Matter, to set up their makeshift camp on the freezing reservation—vanished into thin air after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which had first denied a permit that would let the pipeline construction go forward, issued an eviction notice to the protesters on Feb. 3, and on Feb. 7 announced it would issue a final permit allowing the pipeline to be built after all.
I'm not sure what all of this is supposed to mean. That leftists and litterbugs go together? (Remember the mess that the various Occupy protesters left behind in city parks across the nation in 2011 when they decided they'd had enough of sleeping outdoors in filthy tents.) That so-called environmentalists are actually hypocrites willing to destroy the environment in order to make a point? That we live in such a prosperous society that people who style themselves oppressed victims can think nothing of abandoning valuable items such as sleeping bags and food supplies whenever they feel like it?
You've got me, but one thing is certain: Talk of "sacred sites" seems to have been so much blather when push came to shove.

Another Obama "Success" Story


DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS INCREASED BY 33-PERCENT IN PAST 5 YEARS



Drug overdose deaths have increased by 33 percent in the past five years across the country, with some states seeing jumps of nearly 200 percent.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 30 states saw increases in overdose deaths resulting from the abuse of heroin and prescription painkillers, a class of drugs known as opioids. New Hampshire saw a 191 percent increase while North Dakota, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine had death rates jump by over 100 percent.
“Too many Americans are feeling the devastation of the opioid crisis either from misuse of prescription opioids or use of illicit opioids,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the CDC. “Urgent action is needed to help health care providers treat pain safely and treat opioid use disorder effectively, support law enforcement strategies to reduce the availability of illicit opiates, and support states to develop and implement programs that can save lives.”
Last year, more than 52,000 people died from drug overdoses, with almost two-thirds involving prescription or illegal opioids. Deaths from synthetic opioids, including illicit fentanyl, rose 73 percent, to 9,580. And prescription painkillers took the highest toll but posted the smallest increase. Abuse of drugs like Oxycontin and Vicodin killed 17,536, an increase of 4 percent.
In comparison, the number of people who died in car crashes was 37,757, an increase of 12 percent. Gun deaths, including homicides and suicides, totaled 36,252, up 7 percent.
The CDC report also included death certificate data for opioid overdoses in 28 states, finding that 16 saw a jump in death rates from synthetic opioids including illicit fentanyl. New York (135.7 percent), Connecticut (125.9 percent) and Illinois (120 percent) were the hardest hit. As for heroin deaths, 11 states had increases, with South Carolina (57.1 percent), North Carolina (46.4 percent) and Tennessee (43.5 percent) seeing the biggest spike…
