Mitt Romney: Donald Trump Won't Be GOP Nominee

TheHill.com:

Mitt Romney says he’ll support whoever the Republican candidate is, but he’s not going to go out and order a Make America Great Again hat anytime soon.

“I will support the Republican nominee. I don’t think that’s going to be Donald Trump,” the GOP's 2012 candidate said. “My party has historically nominated someone who's a mainstream conservative.”

Romney was speaking at The Atlantic’s Washington Ideas Forum Wednesday, where he was interviewed by the magazine's editor in chief James Bennet.

Romney noted that three of the top candidates in the GOP presidential primary have never held political office, bringing up Dwight Eisenhower and his own business background as examples of successful models.

“Just to be clear, in this scenario, are you comparing Donald Trump to Dwight Eisenhower?” Bennet asked.

“The parallel does not immediately just to mind," Romney said, laughing, "but that said, I feel like you don’t necessarily have to have Washington or government experience."

“I wouldn’t disqualify someone just because they hadn’t served in Washington or hadn’t served in a state house,” he added.

Vatican Confirms That Pope Francis Did Meet Privately with Kim Davis

NYTimes.com:

Pope Francis met privately in Washington last week with Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who defied a court order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, a Vatican spokesman confirmed on Wednesday.

Ms. Davis, the clerk in Rowan County, has been at the center of a nationwide controversy over whether government employees and private businesses have a legal right to refuse to serve same-sex couples. She spent five days in jail for disobeying a federal court order to issue the licenses.

On Tuesday night, her lawyer, Mathew D. Staver, said in a telephone interview that Ms. Davis and her husband, Joe, were sneaked into the Vatican Embassy by car on Thursday afternoon. Francis gave her rosaries and told her to “stay strong,” the lawyer said. The couple met for about 15 minutes with the pope, who was accompanied by security guards, aides and photographers. Mr. Staver said he expected to receive photographs of the meeting from the Vatican soon.

On Wednesday, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed that the meeting took place, but he declined to elaborate. “I do not deny that the meeting took place, but I have no other comments to add,” he said.

Ms. Davis described the meeting in an interview on Wednesday with ABC News.

“I put my hand out and he reached and he grabbed it, and I hugged him and he hugged me,” Ms. Davis said. “And he said, ‘Thank you for your courage.’ ”

“I was crying. I had tears coming out of my eyes,” she said. “I’m just a nobody, so it was really humbling to think he would want to meet or know me.”

Good for Kim Davis, the Rosa Parks of our generation and too bad for Godless liberals who've tried to stamp this Pope as some sort of 'progressive theologian' who's shown a willingness to compromise the Catholic doctrine for their morally bankrupt agenda.

Gay Child Actor Danny Pintauro: I'm HIV-Positive

USAToday.com:

Since 2003 actor Danny Pintauro, who many know from his days on the 80s sitcom Who's the Boss?, has been keeping a secret. But on Saturday's episode of Oprah: Where Are They Now? he revealed to the world that he is HIV-Positive.

"I wanted to tell you this a long time ago, but I wasn't ready. I'm ready now," Pintauro told Oprah Winfrey in an intense interview on the show. "I'm HIV-positive, and I have been for 12 years."

Why did he keep it to himself for so long? "It's just a big deal, you know?" he said. "It's not something that people are really talking about right now."

This is not the first time Pintauro's private life has been in the spotlight -- the actor was outed as gay in a 1997 National Enquirer article, against his wishes. "I was outed," Pintauro recalled to Winfrey. "It wasn't by choice.

He went on to explain how he was originally diagnosed with HIV back in 2003. "I was living in New York at the time and completely clueless to the idea that I was positive," he said. "I went in for a regular checkup. It was just regular blood work. You go in, and you sort of waited two weeks on pins and needles -- or at least I did, because I was just terrified of the idea of getting HIV."

He also talked about the fact that he was using crystal meth at the time of the diagnosis.

"I was doing crystal meth, which completely ruins your immune system. I'd been doing it at that point very briefly, but it was three weeks or so, off and on. I had just come out of a two-year relationship, and I discovered in that relationship that there was more I wanted to explore sexually. Crystal meth takes away your inhibitions... And if you want to explore that adventurous side, taking the drug is going to put you there. I was experimenting. And believe it or not, I thought that I was being safe in that encounter. I know exactly when it happened."

The actor did not go into further details, but he did say he regrets not knowing the name of the man from that encounter. "I regret not knowing that, because that person has completely changed my life," he says.

Oprah Winfrey and the rest of the Godless liberal media won't talk about it, but it's well-known that most gay men are not only highly promiscuous, but have no problem engaging in high-risk sexual behavior that often leads to them catching HIV and/or AIDS. But telling gay men to seek monogamous relationships or better yet, be abstinent and refrain from sex altogether is considered homophobic to the Left and can get you blackballed from practicing your livelihood (just ask former Millionaire Matchmaker host Patti Stanger who eventually got kicked to the curb for telling the truth about the gay community). The fact that Pintauro admits that he used crystal meth to "explore sexually" tells you what kind of reckless behavior he was up to at a young age. If he had chosen God and Christianity instead of the dangerous and oft-depressing lifestyle choice of homosexuality, having HIV would be the last thing on his mind.

Christian School Rightfully Kicks 5-Year-Old Kindergartner Out For Having Lesbian Mothers

Bossip.com:

A precious 5-year-old San Diego kindergartner has been booted from her classes because her school, the Mount Erie Christian Academy, refuses to welcome her any longer because she has lesbian parents.

Via The Root:

“It was heartbreaking,” one of the mothers, Sheena, who didn’t want her last name disclosed, told the news station. “I didn’t finish the conversation with them when they took us in the room because I just, I didn’t want to look at them any longer. I just couldn’t believe that they did that.”

“They told us, ‘Oh, this is not about your child,’ but it is about my child,” the stay-at-home mom added.

The mothers are seeking an attorney to file a civil rights lawsuit against the school. When asked by the news team if it was discriminatory to stop the child from attending because of her mothers, a woman who described herself as the school’s director said, “The Bible says homosexuality is a sin. We don’t condone any sinful lifestyles.”

KGTV got a copy of the school’s parent-and-student handbook, which was revised over the summer. Under the school’s statement of nondiscrimination, the handbook declared the school’s right to “refuse admission of an applicant or to discontinue enrollment of a student.”

“This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, living in, condoning or supporting sexual immorality; practicing homosexual lifestyle or alternative gender identity; promoting such practices; or otherwise having the inability to support the moral principles of the school,” the handbook continued, according to the news station.

“If we knew from the beginning that this was unacceptable, they didn’t condone or believe in this, if it was such a big deal, we would have never started her off there,” Sheena countered. “I would never put my child’s emotional well-being in an unstable setting like that.”

Mount Erie, as a private institution, does have a First Amendment right to bar membership based on religious beliefs, San Diego attorney Eugene Iredale pointed out to the news station. However, Sheena says that the family is prepared to fight their case.

Of course, since two women can't create a child, the first question everyone should be asking is: where's the father? But in Barack Obama's Godless world, where kids have no say and parents are defined by what a liberal judge thinks instead of a mother and a father, stuff like who's the daddy? doesn't matter. That being said, what right do these two Satan-worshippers (anyone who rebukes God and chooses to live a homosexual lifestyle clearly doesn't believe in God) have to tell a private Christian school who can and can't attend their school? Damn right, this school did the right thing in kicking that girl out.

Congressional Black Caucus Members Praise Planned Parenthood on the Hill

Townhall.com:

At a tragically ironic press conference Monday afternoon on Capitol Hill, the Congressional Black Caucus praised the work of Planned Parenthood. Joined by former Planned Parenthood patients, Reps. Gwen Moore (D-WI), Alma Adams (D-NC) and Donna Edwards (D-MD) defended the organization as vital to women's health. Not of interest during their conversation, was the fact that Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger was a racist, nor the Center for Medical Progress investigation that has shocked Americans with its disturbing footage of employees joking about the sale of fetal body parts.

Nope, these concerns were of no consequence. Rep. Adams seemed quite positive that the GOP attempt to defund Planned Parenthood was based off of a misogynistic agenda.

As for the Planned Parenthood patients who were present, they shared stories about how the organization provided important breast cancer screenings and prenatal care. Again, the fact that the organization performs over 300,000 abortions annually and abortion is the source of 37 percent of its revenue was not even a footnote.

Surely, the same services these women sought can be accessed at the thousands of health centers across the country that do not perform abortions. Pro-life Republicans are leading the charge to defund Planned Parenthood and reallocate those tax dollars to these alternative, more humane, resources available to women.

You wouldn't know that if you attended today's presser. All these congressmen want to do, Rep. Adams declared, was to "make decisions" for women.

Pope Francis: Goverment Workers Have ‘Human Right’ to Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses

Mediaite.com:

In an interview with a gaggle of reporters, Pope Francis said government workers should have the right to refuse to issue gay marriage licenses if it was against their conscience.

“Conscientious objection must enter into every judicial structure because it is a right,” he said in Rome when asked about government employees like Kentucky clerk Kim Davis.

“I can’t have in mind all cases that can exist about conscientious objection, but yes, I can say that conscientious objection is a right that is a part of every human right,” he continued. “And if someone does not allow others to be a conscientious objector, he denies a right.”

Poll: One In Four Democrats Have Joe Biden As Their First Choice For President

Townhall.com:

This week, Politico reported that Team Clinton is quietly urging the vice president not to run. The big guns haven’t been drawn yet, but the news publication noted that the mantra for the Clinton camp on Biden is “so sure, take your time, is the message people in and around the campaign seem to be sending—but if you end up at yes, you’re going to get hurt.”

The hints from the campaign come in heavy: Biden would be to Clinton’s right if he ran, more out of touch with the party’s progressive base. Surrogates have sounded off, questioning his chances and his political abilities, wondering if he’d be up to the job. Clinton even leapt in herself, bringing him up out of nowhere as she spoke to a woman in a diner last week in New Hampshire to knock him for how disappointing he’d been when they were working on the bankruptcy bill in the Senate. That was followed by her campaign chair John Podesta, sprinkling a little of his own shade in front of the pro-Clinton Priorities super PAC in New York—it’s already too late for Biden to mount a real challenge, and he’s not going to decide for a few more weeks on top of that. 

They’ve stepped up the roll-out of their endorsements and organization. Their operation is just so massive and well put together, they want Biden and anyone considering supporting him to think, there’s just no space left for him.
[…]

Inside the Brooklyn headquarters, this has become a sensitive topic.

“Because of the personal tragedy and because he is beloved by the president and because he is beloved by so many staffers on both sides, they are super sensitive to doing anything that even whiffs of attacking him,” said a source close to the Clinton campaign.

To Biden and the people he’s talking to most about running, this is proof, they think, of just how much of a scare they’ve put into Clinton. On top of what’s public, they say they think the spate of stories a few weeks ago digging into his record on bankruptcy and the Crime Bill came, if not straight from the headquarters in Brooklyn, from people just far enough removed to give them plausible deniability.

“This is not a surprise,” said one person familiar with Biden’s thinking. “I think it’s pretty clear that they’re concerned about it.”

The Hill  reported last week that Clinton used Biden to as a shield to explain her vote for a bankruptcy bill that liberals opposed in 2001, saying his support partially influenced her “aye” vote in the Senate. And, of course, Politico added that Team Clinton has no anti-Biden strategy formulated, nor have any of their past actions been utilized to dissuade the vice president from running. This was all planned in the beginning.

John Boehner Resigns From Congress

CNN.com:

John Boehner, the Ohio Republican who steered his party to an overwhelming House majority in 2010, said in a news conference Friday afternoon he had decided only that morning to announce his plans to resign from Congress. 

"Last night I started thinking about this and this morning I woke up and I said my prayers -- as I always do -- and I decided today's the day I'm going to do this. As simple as that," Boehner said during an emotional Capitol Hill press conference a day after he had a moving encounter with Pope Francis.

He will step down as Speaker and leave Congress at the end of October.

The Ohio Republican's tenure as Speaker has been marked by clashes with conservatives -- especially when it comes to fiscal policy. He's struggled to push through legislation to increase the debt ceiling and was facing another showdown next week to keep the government open. The Speaker has often relied on Democratic votes during these moments -- a strategy that has infuriated conservatives.

Boehner, who turns 65 in November, said Friday that he had planned to step down at the end of the year but turmoil within his caucus prompted him to resign earlier than planned.

"I got plenty of people following me but this turmoil that's been churning now for a couple of months, it's not good for the members and it's not good for the institution. If I was not planning on leaving here soon, I can tell you I would not have done it," Boehner said.

Judging from this reaction, I don't think too many conservatives will be missing him.

Hillary Clinton Sits Down For Interview with Admitted Pedophile and Soft Porn Actress Len Dunham

Mediaite.com:

The notoriously interview-shy Hillary Clinton has agreed to a sit-down interview with Peabody and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lena Dunham.

Dunham, who is best known for breaking the stories of the My Lai Massacre and the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, is also the star of HBO’s Girls. Dunham is considered a tough-but-fair, nonpartisan interviewer who has also interviewed Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Henry Kissinger.

In a preview released by Politico Thursday, Dunham asks Clinton a particularly probing question: “Do you consider yourself a feminist?”

“Yes,” Clinton responds while sweating buckets, clearly horrified to have to answer the question. “Absolutely.”

One issue that Hillary Clinton and Dunham are sure to agree on, however, is  that you should always believe people who claim to have been sexual assaulted.

The media can barely get her to speak, but she has time to talk to perverted scum like this.

Democrat National Committee Tries To Portray Marco Rubio As A Nazi

FreeBeacon.com:

The Democratic National Committee, in what critics say is one of the lamest attacks of the 2016 cycle so far, has pounced on Republican Marco Rubio’s plans to attend a fundraiser at the house of Harlan Crow because Crow’s collection of historic artifacts includes Nazi art—but the DNC failed to mention that Crow’s mother was nearly killed by the Nazis during World War II.

“It is astounding that the presence of these items that represent horror for millions of Jews the world over, would not stop Mr. Rubio or anyone on his team in their tracks when planning this event,” DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said on Tuesday.

The DNC’s statement points to Crow’s ownership of “two paintings by Adolph Hitler, a signed copy of Hitler’s autobiography, Mein Kampf, and a cabinet full of place settings and linens used by the Nazi leader.”

Unmentioned, however, is that Crow is far from a Hitler admirer, and that these items are a small part of Crow’s massive collection of historical artifacts. At times, that collection has included items such as Frederick Douglass’ Bible, the doodles of President Abraham Lincoln, President George Washington’s 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation, and statues of communist icons such as Lenin and Che Guevara.

Making the notion that Crow has any ties to Hitler even more absurd is the fact that his mother, Margaret Crow, was nearly killed by the Nazis.

She survived the sinking of the British SS Athenia, which was the first British ship attacked by the Nazi U-boats. Crow owns multiple artifacts from the SS Athenia, as well.

Schultz asked that Rubio cancel the fundraiser.

“There’s really no excuse for such a gross act of disrespect. Mr. Rubio, who by the way, represents a sizable Jewish population in our home state of Florida, should cancel this tasteless fundraiser,” said Schultz.

I'd never underestimate the lengths Debbie Wasserman Schultz will go to to make sure fellow old, corrupt and liberal white woman Hillary Clinton, is our next President. Now if only somebody could buy Schultz a blow dryer.
