[Breitbart] StemExpress, a biomedical company that has admitted to working with Planned Parenthood in California in the retrieval of body parts and organs of aborted babies, has said it will cut its ties with the nation's largest abortion provider.
In the wake of undercover investigative videos showing Planned Parenthood top medical personnel discussing the harvesting of body parts of aborted babies for potential sale to StemExpress and other companies, StemExpress has become entangled in what could be Planned Parenthood's illegal trafficking of fetal tissue and organs, reports Politico.

Funding streams? Uncanny! Isn't this the same bold strategy Trump has in mind for ISIS, China, Iran, and the illegal human trafficking from Mexico and LATAM ?

Who remembers the shit-storm that occured when the Susan G. Komen Foundation eliminated funding for Planned Parenthood? The CEO was forced to resign. I knew then it wasn't about women's health but money.

So who is StemExpress getting their baby parts from now?

But since PP assures us that the money was just to reimburse expenses, this should be revenue-neutral to PP, right?

Except that they now have those pesky waste disposal expenses that they'd been avoiding by selling on the bits, whether burning or buriel. So this will definitely be revenue negative for them.
[Daily Caller] In full damage-control mode, a powerful ally of Democratic Party presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton is changing the narrative again, subtlety, when it comes to her exclusive use of a private, unsecure email server and her handling of classified material.
California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, ranking member on the Senate Intelligence Committee and Clinton friend, has released a statement attempting to defend Clinton from critics. Feinstein added a new caveat to Clinton's claim that she never had any classified material on her server: none written by Clinton, at least.
No longer denying the existence of classified material on Clinton's private server, Feinstein said, "First, none of the emails alleged to contain classified information were written by Secretary Clinton." (Emphasis added.)
That is different from Clinton's first statement about whether or not she had any classified material on her server, which was fairly unequivocal. On March 10, Clinton held a press conference at the United Nations and said, "I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email; there is no classified material. In other acts of utter desperation, senior Democrats were seen nibbling on their toes.

The country gets caught in catch phrases such as "black lives matter (While other lives not so much)." Have people considered that young Democrats/"blood gang members/thugs lives really don't matter. I mean, they behave and act as if their lives don't matter. They, the thugs, engage in high-risk acts that get themselves killed. Others can't fix that. If they (the thugs) catch a bullet, does it really matter? The biggest problem is that innocents often get killed/wounded in the process.
[DAWN] Pakistan’s transgender community came out to celebrate the county’s 69th Independence Day with a 700-foot long flag that they meticulously stitched together over 12 days.
Organised by the Sindh chapter of the Gender Interactive Alliance (GIA), hundreds of Khawaja Sarras rolled out the gigantic flag at the Bagh-e-Quaid-e-Azam, previously known as the Polo Ground, in Karachi right before the clock struck 12 on August 13.
Ecstatic and proud of their accomplishment, they walked across the length of the park holding up the flag, shouting “Pakistan Zinadabad!”
Transgenders in Pakistan were awarded the right to register as a third gender on their CNICs in 2012. The Supreme Court had also ordered free education and free health care for the Khawaja Sarra community. However, provincial welfare departments have yet to implement the decision.

Elsewhere on Rantburg is an op-ed by a "pro-gun, pro-constitution" individual, who spent, he claims, $100,000 of his own money to regain possession of guns he turned over to the cops during a divorce. There's his problem. He complied and is $100,000 lighter. So to compensate, he wants the government to institute controls that will guarantee the right to keep and bear arms will always be violated. So many of these types, such as this collectivist, exist: fervent believers in the right to keep and bear arms for them, under conditions they alone set out. The concept of rights and consent of the governed never enter into their calculus. Just the advocacy for the State's raw power to advance a personal agenda.
Oathkeepers are getting bad press because four individuals showed up for the 2nd Annual Ferguson Riots armed with Evil Black Rifles, set to defend property from mayhem.
I have a few beefs with Oathkeepers, but them sending armed individuals to stop looting is not one of them. My beef at the moment is that Oathkeepers, from top to bottom, believe this is a beauty contest, not an existential struggle to restore basic rights. They try to play to the press, and they are very careful about optics. They act is though they are running an election campaign, so they are oh so careful about with whom they associate.
The Bundy Ranch incident in 2014 raised awareness over how to conduct armed civil disobedience. Despite what the press says, the notion of armed individuals protesting for their rights, and bearing arms to do it, is catching on. Oathkeepers were there in Nevada, and they were public, but they did very little, as I understand it, other than to bitch and moan about everyone there who was not a high risk civilian contractor, former spec-ops, or prior service military. They had at their disposal hundreds of willing armed volunteers, and the best thing they could think to do was to piss the volunteers off so badly the Oathkeepers were forced to leave.
And their solution? Keep the armed volunteers out. Only Oathkeepers. It worked to a very limited extent in Oregon last spring. No one talks about Suger Pine Mine now, do they? How many armed individuals did Oathkeepers have in Oregon versus how many they could have had?
And now this summer in Ferguson, four, count 'em, four armed men show up at the riots. In my view Oathkeepers unwittingly buttressed the press and the left's contention that armed volunteers willing to show up to defend private property during a riot are a fringe group. I don't care how professional you are, or how much of a military bearing you present while mugging for the cameras, when the best you can come up with is four armed individuals, you are doing it wrong. You are playing into the left's narrative.
I've got $20 that says if Oathkeepers really tried, they could get 100 armed volunteers to show up with them within four hours and the press attacks would be no worse, and the area of operation would be 100 times more secure. Despite what you hear from the left, the notion that 100 people showing up en masse with the intention of stopping the looting and the mayhem associated with a riot, although as they may look ridiculous in tactical gear, is something that could shatter the notion, carefully cultivated in paid media, that fighting for your rights only means you gotta burn Old Glory. That maybe these guys with guns have a point.
Loads.

Dunno, get enough Oath Keepers to fill a screen shot, hopefully with a Gadson, preferable with a Confederate flag, and you could have got:
"Reports say that a white supremesist group, possibly numbering in the 100s, has descended upon Ferguson, allegedly to 'put down the blacks' . The group, who calls itself the 'Oath Keepers', well known for the number of criminals and stolen valor thieves, came to prominance when they were asked to leave the Cliven Bundy compound."
The Oath Keepers have earned their concern for their public appearance.
I was under the impression, at least at the beginning, that anyone who had taken an Oath to the Constitution, but I didn't get much further than the main page back then.
Love the wooden reloader assist/tool sitting at the club's bar. Very pretty all around.
[Tolo News] In a telephonic interview with TOLOnews, Assadullah Khurram, a member of Sar-e-Pul provincial council on Friday reported that a young girl and her father were beaten up by the head of the development council of Balkhab district in Toghi village after being accused of robbery.

[Wash Times] HARARE, Zimbabwe -- After presiding over this impoverished country in southern Africa for more than three decades, 91-year-old strongman Robert Mugabe has a new plan for prosperity: exporting highly educated workers.
Authorities here recently asked millions of unemployed citizens with college degrees to register their skills with the government so that officials might secure them jobs elsewhere in the region.
"We are coming up with a policy as a ministry to help our skilled manpower get jobs," said Deputy Higher Education Minister Godfrey Gandawa. "There are countries with vacancies in various fields, but our people do not have access to those vacancies. We have taken the initiative to look for the jobs."
Zimbabwean officials had signed memoranda of understanding to send would-be employees to Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Sudan, Mr. Gandawa said.
It's a desperate bid to occupy citizens who have become increasingly restive as Zimbabwe's economy and political system have atrophied under Mr. Mugabe, who has ruled the country since it secured independence from Britain in 1980. An 'atrophied' political system. Quite difficult to imagine.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am a highly educated young man from Zimbabwe who would like to come to America. But I need your help as my inheritance from Prince Ali Ali-a-li Mugabe is in a trust in the Bank of the great and wealthy Wallstreet New York. I will send you a check and in turn your wire me much money and a plane ticket to the city of Detroit. You may keep the rest of the inheritance (after paying much America taxes ha ha ha ha).

Rebel news sources say that a Ukrainian armor column traveling near Mariupol in far southern Donetsk near the northern coast of the Sea of Azov was ambushed by Russian backed rebel guerrillas, according to Russian language news accounts.
According to a VKontakte page belonging to Russian reserve FSB Colonel Igor Girkin, and quoting a source from Russian language news publication Red News, the guerrilla group damaged a number of vehicles including US-made Humvee utility vehicles. The post claims a total of 18 Ukrainian effectives were wounded in the encounter, and as many as 14 Ukrainians dead. The rebel group suffered wounded in the attack as well, but the numbers of wounded and the number of Ukrainian vehicles damaged in the attack were not disclosed in the news article.
According to the post, rebel guerrillas hit the lead vehicle in the convoy, and then began hitting the others in sequence using RPG and small arms fire.
Elsewhere in Donetsk, official rebel reports are that Ukrainian artillery fire has increased over the previous day, hitting several areas in western and northern Donetsk.
Ukrainian artillery hit several districts in Donetsk city, including Kalinisky, Oktyabrsky and Nikitovsky district, as well as at Spartak, Putilovsky and at the Donetsk airport.
Ukrainian news account say that rebel artillery has been hitting Ukrainian positions in Avdievka, Opytnoye and at Peski, using 122mm tube artillery and 122mm rocket artillery. Ukrainian reports also say that rebel artillery damaged a private residence in Avdievka. One of the main targets for the rebels is the coke plant, which has been under continuous rebel artillery fire. Damage in the plant included electrical and heating systems.
Rebel ground units fired on Ukrainian positions at Peski using tank and heavy machine gun fire, according to Ukrainian media.
Ukrainian artillery also hit rebel positions at Gorlovka. Ukrainian artillery hitting these areas is said to have originated from Dzherzinsk, Zaitsevo and Golm. Rebels claim that in Gorlovka they have not responded to Ukrainian artillery fire except under "extreme circumstances", but reports from other rebel news sources say they do fire counterbattery strikes at Ukrainian artillery positions.
According to a post on tsensor.net, a Ukrainian news website, the rebels responded to Ukrainian artillery on Gorlovka with artillery fire using BM-21 122mm rocket artillery launchers.
Rebel media says that Ukrainian artillery and rocket artillery continue to hit rebel positions at Novolaspa and at Starognatovka. Those fires are being launched from Volnovakha. Ukrainian reports say rebel artillery is hitting their positions near Starognatovka as well, using 152mm artillery.
Ukrainian reports say rebel artillery hit their positions near Mariupol in the early morning hours. A rebel artillery attack also was reported in the Ukrainian news outlet 0629.com.ua in Andreevka, which is near Mariupol, and was said to be a BM-21 rocket artillery strike. That attack sparked fires in the village. Rebel reports say Ukrainian artillery continue to hit rebel positions at Sahanka with artillery fires coming from the eastern approaches to Mariupol.

Besides the increasingly threat of Radical Islamist destabilization agz Russia + ex-SOviet Stans, there is also the Russian fear of the Chinese military response to any Islamist destabilization levied agz China per se, espec to the detriment of Russian interests.
WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, HISTOIRE' SUGGESTS THAT THE SOVEREIGNTY OR BORDERS OF NEIGHBORING STATES MIGHT NOT BE RESPECTED.
E.G. PRE-NUKE DEAL ANTI-US ISLAMIST IRAN, IN CASE OF US UNILATERAL OR COALITION GROUND INVASION OF IRAN.
China's investments,cooper wid Russia as part of ulterior motive or agendum to directly or indirectly gain control of Russia's sovereign territories.
* WAFF > CLASSIFIED US PENTAGON MILITARY EXERCISES REVEAL US WOULD STRUGGLE TO WIN WAR AGZ RUSSIA.
Ditto agz CHINA? IRAN? OTHER?
* FREEREPUBLIC > [Bradenton Herald] SOME [Nuke] DEAL: IRAN WILL SOON [enuff] BE ABLE TO KIL 90% OF OUR [US] POPULATION.
* Again, US-LED ANTI-US OWG-NWO + GLOBALISM = US HELPS ITS REAL OR POTEN MILPOL ENEMIES, RIVALS, + WANNABES BECOME STRONGER RELATIVE TO THE US ITSELF.
ANTI-US US POTUS OBAMA + ANY SIMILAR ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS SUCCESSOR(S) = #1 ON US NATIONAL COMMAND AUTHORITY = RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DIRECT US MIL RESPONSE IN ANY CRISIS, OR IN ALTERN, THE LACK OF SAME.
[Rooters] Facing accusations that it cannot adequately protect the White House, the U.S. Secret Service plans to hire 1,100 more officers and agents for an agency besieged by embarrassing scandals and security lapses, two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the plans said.
The addition of 700 uniformed division officers and 400 agents over five years would expand its staff of 6,647 by nearly 17 percent, the biggest hiring increase in more than a decade at the 150-year-old agency whose job it is to protect the president, his family, and senior officials, along with fighting financial crime.
The Secret Service is trying to rebound from a leadership crisis and mend a culture of covering up mistakes that some trace back 12 years to when it was pulled out of the Treasury Department and absorbed into the sprawling new Department of Homeland Security, where it had to compete for turf and money.
