California authorities raid home of anti-Planned Parenthood videographer

California authorities raid home of anti-Planned Parenthood videographer

Investigators with the California Department of Justice on Tuesday raided the home of David Daleiden, the anti-abortion activist behind a series of undercover videos targeting Planned Parenthood, the activist said.

Authorities seized a laptop and multiple hard drives from his Orange County apartment, Daleiden said in an email. The equipment contained all of the video Daleiden had filmed as part of his 30-month project, “including some very damning footage that has yet to be released to the public,” he said.

A spokeswoman for California Attorney General Kamala Harris (D) said she could not comment on an ongoing investigation. But the raid confirms that California is among the states looking into possible criminal activity on the part of Daleiden and his organization, the Center for Medical Progress, which have been the center of controversy since releasing videos purporting to show that Planned Parenthood illegally sells fetal tissue for a profit.

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter of The Carter Center Receive - Life Time Achievement Award

ATLANTA, GA – 04 Apr, 2016 – The Earth Month Network in honor of the 46th Anniversary of Earth Month® has bestowed upon the former President Jimmy and First Lady Rosalynn Carter the prestigious Life Time Achievement Award.



The Award states in part:

It is often stated that behind every good man is a great woman; indeed this is the situation at hand for many progressive years in the development of a lifelong theme “Together We Can Make A Difference”. Together you have made an extraordinary positive difference in thousands of individual lives globally in more ways than can be counted.

That process includes but not limited to decades of untiring effort and self-sacrifice building hope to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, in the advancement of democracy, civil and human rights, preventing disease, improving mental health, promoting economic development and social justice through diplomacy and advocacy.

It is to that point of a beginning without out end that is worthy of global recognition, that you be awarded the Life Time Achievement Award, exemplifying to “…seek peace and peruse it” (1 Peter 3:10).

Ted Cruz madame scandal explodes as phone records released

BREAKING: Ted Cruz’s D.C. Madam Scandal EXPLODES As Phone Records Get Leaked To Media
APRIL 5TH, 2016 PEARSON MCKINNEY POLITICS, TOP STORIES 0 COMMENTS

There appears to have been a data upload to the internet that includes the phone records of the “DC Madam” from 2004-2008, the time frame in which Ted Cruz was said to have been a client of the political prostitute. There are almost 7,400 records

The Gateway Pundit released this statement to the press Tuesday afternoon:

“We have the DC Madam’s phone records. Pages and pages of phone records. We are deciding how to present this evidence.”



All this comes after a story released in tabloids that accused Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz of being involved with a high-priced escort for high profile D.C. employees, aptly named the D.C. Madam. Ted Cruz refuted these allegations, saying the story was “all lies,” and that Donald trump was responsible for this rumor starting.

This information could not only ruin Ted Cruz’s chance at a 2016 win, but it could completely destroy his home life, namely his long-time marriage.

Check back here for updates.

Does Donald Trump even know what Abraham Lincoln did as president?

If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
He’s an ignorant, stupid, dangerous man. Did I mention arrogant?
