While police in New York City were busy at the #FloodWallStreet protest arresting a polar bear and two Captain Planets, D.C. police were arresting several undocumented immigrant mothers, or #Undocumoms, who staged a sit-in Monday outside the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters.

Soulless Slate’s Saletan: Worse than infanticide? Exposing it, snitches

http://twitter.com/#!/MZHemingway/status/328870719322742784

Yes he did. In fact, Slate’s William Saletan calls it a “scheme.”

What’s more disgusting than late-term abortion? This scheme to exploit it by hiring actors & secretly taping doctors. wapo.st/11wBHIW

— Will Saletan (@saletan) April 29, 2013

The depravity is sickening. As we reported, Live Action released an undercover video that showed an abortion counselor advocating and sanctioning infanticide. Just “flush it,” she said. Live Action released another horrifying video today.

Go to our INHUMAN website to see the newest release. First there was the Bronx; now there’s our nation’s capital: ow.ly/kwdtZ

— Lila Rose (@LilaGraceRose) April 29, 2013

To the vile and soulless Saletan, the videos exposing those horrifying acts are worse than the acts themselves.

Drowning living babies in toilets? Snipping the spinal cords of children born alive and struggling to take their first, and last, breaths? Whatever! Just don’t be a tattle-tale about it.

Those with a moral compass give Saletan the business.

@saletan Seriously? THAT is what is more disgusting to you?

@saletan taping doctors is much worse than killing babies, do you even listen to yourself?

— Rick Huffman (@boogieman1982) April 29, 2013

Yes you have to hate it when the light is brought to the dark places of the world and men’s deeds are exposed @saletan

— Jay Russell (@Jaysrunningways) April 29, 2013

@saletan Scissors jammed into the neck of a living infant by the Mengele of Philadelphia pretty much sets the standard for disgusting.

RT @vermontaigne: @saletan Mustn’t expose casual infanticide, because . . . ethics.

@saletan No, I’m going to have to go with killing a viable baby as being worse. Call me crazy.

— Ben (@BenK84) April 29, 2013

It’s not bad to “snip babies’ spines”, it’s just bad to report on it. Did I get that right, @saletan?

— BiasedGirl (@BiasedGirl) April 29, 2013

@saletan So, exposing this horrific crime against humanity is more disgusting than the crime itself?#duplicitousbastard

— Don Preston (@butcanyoufixit) April 29, 2013

@jeffemanuel @saletan When I think of a baby swimming for it’s life in a bloody toilet, I always take comfort in that no one is videoing it.

— YT’s cat (@YTsCat) April 29, 2013

@saletan Yeah, exposing killers is SO much worse than the killing itself. Please take some time to search for your soul today.

— Mark Youngkin (@mayoungkin) April 29, 2013

That would keep him busy for eternity.

Know who is more morally bankrupt than @saletan? No one. Absolutely no one.

— Rick Sheridan (@RickSheridan) April 29, 2013

We’d say, “shame on you, Saletan” but it is quite obvious that the soulless have no shame.

Obama Friday Night Document Drop – Solyndra

http://www.youtube.com/embed/w7zF3bpXTTI?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparenthttp://twitter.com/#!/cnnbrk/status/183332406969901056

From CNN:

The Obama administration turned over 432 pages of e-mail communications and other documents Friday to congressional Republicans investigating the collapse of the solar energy firm Solyndra, the White House said.

The hard-copy and electronic documents include e-mail communications from the offices of the president and vice president, the White House said in a letter to Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan and Cliff Stearns of Florida.

“These documents, like the over 187,000 pages previously provided by Executive Branch agencies, demonstrate what we have said throughout the course of this investigation: decisions on the Solyndra loan guarantee were made on the merits by the Department of Energy,” wrote Kathryn H. Ruemmler and Cynthia C. Hogan, counsels to the president and vice president, respectively.

“None of the documents support the committee’s allegations about favoritism to campaign contributors or improper White House involvement in the decision-making process,” the counsels wrote.

From Politico: 

White House energy adviser Heather Zichal is scheduled to meet next week with  House Republicans for an interview about Solyndra, according to a source  familiar with the investigation.

Zichal’s meeting with the Energy and Commerce subpanel investigating the  failed California solar company will happen behind closed doors and won’t  involve a transcript. Those details were part of an agreement reached last month between Republicans and the  White House that circumvented threats of a subpoena.

From the Hill:

The latest White House documents delivered to House Republicans on Friday again highlight the extent to which senior administration officials braced for the fallout as Solyndra – a company President Obama had personally visited – was about to go under.

A White House memo that noted the danger of “imminent bankruptcy” at the end of August 2011 says, “OMB, DPC and NEC have been working with press and OLA to be prepared for this news to break.”

The White House document notes that the Treasury Department, OMB and other White House offices agreed that no more money should be provided because there was a “near-zero chance” that the company could survive.

Taking a tour with Barbara Boxer: 

Senator Boxer tours Solyndra in Fremont

And a thank you from Dianne Feinstein. 

This is a major milestone for California’s solar industry,” Senator Feinstein said. “This federal loan guarantee of $535 million will enable Solyndra to secure affordable financing – at a time when credit is extremely tight – in order to build and operate a commercial-scale facility to manufacture the next generation of rooftop solar systems.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu has pledged that his department will act as an engine for innovation – and this loan guarantee program is an important part of that effort. So, I’d like to extend my thanks to Secretary Chu for his leadership.”

I Didn’t Think A Murderer In Prison Could Bring A Tear To My Eye, But This Did It.

When prisoners are held in solitary confinement they are put in small, windowless cells for 22 to 24 hours a day. The United Nations has denounced solitary confinement as torture. The prisoners experience severe depression, sensory deprivation among other psychological effects. A prison rights group wanted to give inmates locked in a super-maximum security prison the chance to see images they were desperate to see. These are the touching photos they requested.

The Masonic Temple.

The Navy Pier.

A vigil at Bald Knob Cross held for the inmates.

Some inmates asked their Department of Corrections photos to be placed on different backgrounds so they could be sent to their families.

A boy and girl, in their Sunday best, sitting side by side on a piano bench, with a single rose on the keys (this photo was a present for the inmate’s wife).

Several inmates requested images of the area where Chicago public housing project Robert Taylor Homes used to be, and what it looks like now.

One inmate asked for a picture of a friend that will write to them.

The prison-rights group is called Tamms Year Ten and although Illinois prison policy prohibits the prisoners from hanging the photos on their walls, the group still makes the photos for those locked away in a supermax, just to give them a glimmer of hope and happiness. Seeing what the prisoners asked for gives you a glimpse into what they yearn for or miss on the outside. They’ve made mistakes – terrible mistakes – but they are still human beings with feelings. And their requested photos show it. Sources
