California prosecutors have charged the two undercover journalists who produced videos of Planned Parenthood officials allegedly selling the harvested body parts of aborted babies for a profit with 15 felonies.
Daleiden told The Washington Post he plans to argue that the conversations did not qualify as “confidential” because no party had a reasonable expectation that the discussion would not be overheard.
If you are recording someone without their knowledge in a public or semi-public place like a street or restaurant, the person whom you’re recording may or may not have “an objectively reasonable expectation that no one is listening in or overhearing the conversation,” and the reasonableness of the expectation would depend on the particular factual circumstances. Therefore, you cannot necessarily assume that you are in the clear simply because you are in a public place.
The bogus charges from Planned Parenthood’s political cronies are fake news. They tried the same collusion with corrupt officials in Houston, TX and failed: both the charges and the DA were thrown out. The public knows the real criminals are Planned Parenthood and their business partners like StemExpress and DV Biologics—currently being prosecuted in California—who have harvested and sold aborted baby body parts for profit for years in direct violation of state and federal law. We look forward to showing the entire world what is on our yet-unreleased video tapes of Planned Parenthood’s criminal baby body parts enterprise, in vindication of the First Amendment rights of all.
Weird how this NBC 4 hidden camera investigation in California isn’t also a felony.

Latino activists, including a Mizzou official, scolded the mostly white gathering for ignoring racial issues. That led one attendee to fume on Facebook that the organizers had invented a “race issue” out of a “homophobic attack” by gunman Omar Mateen.
Remember the Pop-Tart gun kid? He was 7 years old when he was suspended for chewing his breakfast (not actually a Pop-Tart, as it turned out) into the shape of a weapon and pretending to fire it at his classmates. Now he’s 11, and Anne Arundel County Circuit Court Judge Ronald A. Silkworth just upheld his suspension.
A former co-worker of Omar Mateen repeatedly warned the security company where he worked that Mateen was unhinged. Daniel Gilroy says the company did nothing and even told him, “We have to be careful because he’s a Muslim.”
In fact, he made the perfect argument against this kind of pervasive infringement on due process rights last year when questioning a Dept. of Homeland Security official about the “No-fly list.”
Abell added that they thought the man was “very suspicious,” so they called the local FBI office in West Palm Beach and reported the incident. But they didn’t have the man’s name, since no sale was made, and the only surveillance footage they had was grainy.
After a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction banning Concord Community Schools from including a live Nativity scene as part of its annual Christmas show, the school, instead, featured a Nativity scene using mannequins in the Christmas Spectacular program on Saturday, Dec. 12.
Bill Grossman, a 1988 Concord graduate who performed in four consecutive Christmas Spectaculars during his time as a band and orchestra member, said he did not appreciate what he considered a “lack of respect for authority” in including a Nativity scene of any sort.
Already struggling with finances, the Democratic Party has drafted a plan to have taxpayers help pay about $20 million for next summer’s nominating convention, reversing a change Congress approved just a year ago.

All of this started not that long ago, in a Walmart not particularly far away, when someone with a Facebook Star Wars fan group walked into a store and legally purchased a Star Wars figurine and then uploaded a photo of it to the Facebook group. Turns out the figurine contains a sort of spoiler within it or something. As such, plenty of other websites, such as Star Wars Unity, linked to it, embedded the photo of the figure, and discussed its implications. You know, like Star Wars fans do on all kinds of sites all the time. Well, that’s when the DMCA notices began rolling in and the images started coming down.
Santa Claus is banned. The Pledge of Allegiance is no longer recited. “Harvest festival” has replaced Thanksgiving, and “winter celebrations” substitute for Christmas parties.
Al Gore predicted the North Polar Ice Cap would be completely ice free in five years. Gore made the prediction to a German audience in 2008. He told them that “the entire North ‘polarized’ cap will disappear in 5 years.”

I know, that sounds like a bold statement, but it’s true.
This time I’m not talking about some stupid zero tolerance policy that requires kids to be hauled away in handcuffs because their pastry looks like a gun. This time it’s about punishing the good samaritan to comes to the aid of a victim of violence.
My whole career I’ve highlighted that schools brainwash kids into thinking they don’t have the right of self-defense. Something that is not only fundamentally contradictory to our legal system, but unnatural. We are born with the right of self-defense and self-preservation … period … end of story. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the streets, our home, the battlefield or school.
The brainwashing starts immediately with the school repeatedly saying “you don’t hit” even if you are hit first. “Come tell a teacher,” they say. A stance so devoid of reality that it should be mocked mercilessly, but it’s also dangerous.
Cody is the kid who stepped up and defended a blind kid being physically assaulted at school. Cody has been hailed as a hero by society. Not the case in the sheltered, impractical realm of academia. The school suspended Cody, and kicked him off the football team. The school claims they have a ‘zero tolerance’ policy for violence of any kind, and Cody violated that policy.
A dangerous, ignorance mindset like that is more common than you’d think. There are countless examples of it in our society. The notion that you aren’t permitted to defend yourself, or others, is rampant.
No other case proves this more perfectly than the recent murder on a DC Metro train. A man attempted to rob another man, the victim resisted, the thug then attacked. The victim screamed for help on a packed train car, no one helped. The thug then pulled out a knife, and started stabbing the victim dozens of times, no one helped, the victim lay lifeless on the train, no one helped, the thug then turned to the other passengers who’d refused to help, and robbed them too.
If they have a ‘zero tolerance’ policy against all violence, even the defense of the innocent, then would they dare confront a mass shooter to protect students?
