Why is Joe Biden launching the COVID testing program again at great expense right before the election? The administration claims it is because hospitalizations are up from 1.1 per 100,000 in the population to 4.4. Currently, COVID-19 is endemic and is equivalent to a cold or flu. U.S. health officials said on Friday that the […] The post Biden-Harris Are Starting Up the Free COVID Tests appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdrew from the presidential race and endorsed Donald J. Trump for President. It is a stunning moment in history. It gives me hope. I have to be honest here. I no longer trust any Democrat, even though I was one for years. So, I am skeptical even when a Democrat […] The post James Woods Today: A Stunning Moment in History appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

I have been saying for months that the Democratic National Convention would be indistinguishable from a national abortion convention. The abortion van providing free chemical abortion pills just outside the convention proved me right. But the van was no departure; it was true to style, both for the Democrat Party and for Planned Parenthood. That’s why Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson was on the agenda on the third night, joining the chorus of those attempting to deceive the American public about how harmful Republican and Trump-led “abortion bans” have been. Three women spoke from the convention stage on the opening night. I do not dismiss their tragic circumstances or deny that they deserve our compassionate help. In fact, I work to help such women every day all across the country. But I do object to the way the Democrat Party tries to twist these narratives to draw totally unwarranted conclusions. SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images Amanda Zurawski spoke about nearly dying from pre-term labor, and the Texas ban on abortion. The fact is, however, that after the Texas Supreme Court considered her case, the Court made it clear that the Texas ban on abortion permits abortion to save a mother’s life and health. In the words of the Court: A physician who tells a patient, “Your life is threatened by a complication that has arisen during your pregnancy, and you may die, or there is a serious risk you will suffer substantial physical impairment unless an abortion is performed,” and in the same breath states “but the law won’t allow me to provide an abortion in these circumstances” is simply wrong in that legal assessment. If there is a dispute here for Zurawski, it is with her doctor, who under Texas law only needs to exercise reasonable medical judgment that the mother needs the abortion. There is no need to go to court, to blame the law, or to make a political case out of a personal tragedy. Then Kaitlyn Joshua spoke, ostensibly to expose the horrific evil of Louisiana’s abortion ban that allegedly threatened her life as she was miscarrying. Again, the Louisiana law about abortion specifically allows abortion to treat miscarriage. The duty, again, is on the doctor to provide the diagnosis. Finally, Hadley Duvall, who became famous in Kentucky for her political ads for Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear, spoke of how her stepfather raped her and although she had a miscarriage, she has become a spokeswoman for legal abortion. Hadley’s story – and again, I do not deny its tragic circumstances — assumes that permitting an abortion to a rape victim helps the rape victim, completely ignoring the experiences of countless women that abortion itself is a trauma. The last thing someone traumatized by rape needs is another trauma. I serve as the pastoral director of the world’s largest organization for healing after abortion. My team and I help women who have been traumatized by abortion. Hadley raises her voice, but so does Serena Dyksen, who was sexually assaulted at 13 years old, and testifies publicly that “the abortion was worse than the rape.” Sarahi testifies to the same thing, as does Aryn Sylvester. And we can go on and on.  For every story the Democrats want to highlight in their convention and in their ads, we can bring forth a hundred others talking about how harmful abortion is. If you care about women’s health, you should be paying attention to what abortion does to women’s health, not simply preaching a dogma that abortion is, by definition, healthcare and freedom. There’s another dimension to the Democrat dishonesty on display this week.  By bringing to the stage women who experienced health complications and sexual assault, do they want us to believe that they are OK with just allowing abortion in those circumstances? No, the Democrat Party opposes with all its might any law that would prohibit purely elective abortion. If they want to showcase their true policy goals, bring forward the abortionists who are paid to kill healthy babies of healthy mothers in the final months of pregnancy, or the woman I ministered to who had 26 abortions. The Democrat Party criticizes the laws in Texas and Louisiana, but doesn’t once mention that those laws also allocate substantial funds to help moms who want to have their babies, including in cases of adverse fetal conditions. The Democratic Convention is an abortion convention, because the Democrat Party is an abortion party – and a dishonest one. If they are so proud of abortion, why not show on those big convention screens how the procedure is done? Or how about just reading a description from the medical textbooks, in which you’ll find the words “dismember” and “decapitate?” Or how about just being honest enough to admit that the reason abortion is a deeply contentious issue is that two lives are involved? Even the Supreme Court has admitted this over the years, which is why it did not put abortion in the category of a “fundamental right.”  But for the Democrat Party, it’s just one-sided. It’s a woman’s reproductive freedom that matters. No need to consider the rights of the baby.  It’s easy to win a debate by just eliminating one whole side of the argument. That’s not a debate at all; it’s self-serving propaganda, and in this case, propaganda that has flesh and blood victims. * * * Frank Pavone is also president of the National Pro-life Religious Council and national pastoral Director, Rachel’s Vineyard and Silent No More.

Democrat-turned-independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump on Friday, a major development that could shift momentum in the increasingly tight fight for the White House. During a speech in Phoenix, Kennedy said he was “suspending” his campaign and seeking to remove his name from the ballot in battleground states while keeping his name on the ballot in “blue” and “red” states. “My name will remain on the ballot in most states. If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming our helping President Trump or Vice President Harris,” he said. “In Red states, the same will apply. … But in about 10 battleground states, where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name, and I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me.” “Now, [I am throwing] my support to President Trump.” #BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy endorses Donald Trump, “suspends” his campaign, is removing his name from the swing states but remaining in “red” or “blue” states “Now, [I am throwing] my support to President Trump.” pic.twitter.com/Ez8MAuXnkD — Florida’s Voice (@FLVoiceNews) August 23, 2024 Kennedy endorsed Trump shortly before the Republican nominee is set to give a speech just miles away in Glendale, Arizona. The Trump campaign announced on Thursday that the former president will be joined by a “special guest” at his rally on Friday. The independent candidate filed paperwork to withdraw his name from the Arizona ballot on Thursday. His campaign also requested to be removed from the ballot in Pennsylvania, another key swing state, on Friday. Kennedy slammed the Democratic Party, saying he believes he would’ve won the Democratic primary and the election “in an honest system.” He added that he is “alarmed” by the Democrats’ censorship, accusing the party of “preventing” him from gaining ballot access. “In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it,” Kennedy said. RFK Jr. absolutely SHREDS the Democratic Party for “abandoning democracy.” “It had become the party of war, censorship, corruption…” pic.twitter.com/hEXzre14T5 — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) August 23, 2024 Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump came after the independent candidate’s running mate Nicole Shanahan said earlier this week that their campaign was trying to decide between staying in the race, which would potentially help Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, or “join[ing] forces with Donald Trump.” Kennedy suffered a recent drop in the polls, dipping to 5% nationally, after spending much of the past year hovering around 10%, according to the RealClearPolitics average. The endorsement could shake up the race in multiple ways. Trump has performed better against Harris in polls that don’t include Kennedy, and Kennedy’s supporters will likely be much more open to backing Trump in the 2024 race. Trump also said he would consider tapping Kennedy for a role in his administration. As reports earlier this week indicated Kennedy would be backing Trump, the former president said he “would be honored” by Kennedy’s endorsement. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “So I’ve known him for a long time. As you know, he is a little different kind of a guy. Very smart guy and a very good person. If he endorsed me, I would be honored by it,” Trump said. “He really has his heart in the right place. He is a respected person. Women love some of his policies and I guess some people don’t like some of his policies.” Trump added that he believes Democrats forced Kennedy out of the party’s primary because “there was a good chance” that he would have beaten President Joe Biden in the primary. Earlier this year, Trump ripped Kennedy as a “Democrat plant,” arguing the independent candidate is “totally Anti-Gun, an Extreme Environmentalist who makes the Green New Scammers look Conservative, a Big Time Taxer and Open Border Advocate, and Anti-Military/Vet[.]” Kennedy responded to Trump’s attack, calling it “a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.” In the same post, Kennedy also blasted Trump’s policies during his time in the White House. Kennedy has been especially critical of Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, which ramped up production of a COVID vaccine during the pandemic. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “He promised to end the Ukraine war and then colluded with Speaker Johnson and President Biden to fund it,” Kennedy wrote. “He let Big Pharma and his corrupt bureaucrats run roughshod over him as President. He promised to cut the deficit and ran up the biggest debt in history. He promised to run the government like a business and then closed down our businesses. He promised to drain the swamp and then filled his administration with swamp creatures. He promised to protect our rights and then torpedoed the Constitution.” The new alliance between Trump and Kennedy comes one day after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention, where Harris was formally crowned as the party’s nominee. In a two-way race, Harris holds a 1.5-point lead over Trump in the latest RealClearPolitics average of national polling.
