Remembering D-Day: In The End, Is This What They Fought And Died For? - Watch

1. Teacher Faces Disciplinary Action For Telling His Students About Their Constitutional Right

“Oppression is a daily occurrence. We are oppressed by our public schools; we are oppressed by our ‘scientists,’ and we are oppressed by our federal government. All major industries related to the federal government have cornered the market on oppression of the people. Public schools indoctrinate our children, universities force Socialist and Marxist ideals on their students, and “scientists” don’t allow anyone into their fields who would question the status quo. It is with oppression that power is at its strongest.” - LastResistance

“An Illinois Social Studies teacher faces disciplinary action for reminding his students of their Fifth Amendment rights when filling out a school survey on behavior…John Dryden was collecting the surveys before class when he noticed the students’ names were printed on them. He looked to see what was being asked and noticed questions about alcohol and drug use…Dryden told his students that they had a Constitutional right to not incriminate themselves by answering questions on the survey.”

As a result of Mr. Dryden informing his students about their basic Fifth Amendment rights, he is now facing disciplinary charges. Lucky for him, numerous people have risen to his defense.” . . . Read More

2.  Church-State Separation Group Takes Credit For Air Force's Removal of Picture

“Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, called the Pentagon, demanding the painting’s removal, according to a posting from the organization on Huffington Post that was headlined, ‘The Pentagon Most Certainly is Listening to Mikey Weinstein.’” –  CNSNews

“The painting in the Wagon Wheel dining hall at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho showed a modern-day police officer standing in front of a medieval knight holding a flag that morphs from a medieval coat of arms into the flag of the United States of America. The word “Integrity” is stenciled over the image, and the verse referenced is Matthew 5:9, which says, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God.’

‘By the time Mike talked to the Wing Commander at the base a few minutes later, the Wing Commander had already been contacted by the Pentagon. Fifty-six minutes after his call to the Pentagon, the image of the crusader, with its odious melding of the crusader flag with the American flag, had been removed from the dining hall,’ it said." - CNSNews

“Will the nude castaways have the brains and brawn to endure the harsh conditions? Or will the challenges prove to be overbare-ing?” – Discovery

"Each week, a new pair of complete and total strangers - one man and one woman - will find themselves stranded in and, quite literally, exposed to one of the world's most extreme weather environments.  This duo will be left high and dry with no food, no water ... and no clothes.  They must survive on their own for a full 21 days, with nothing but one personal item each and the knowledge that the only prize is their pride and sense of accomplishment. In NAKED & AFRAID, these brazen and bold couples will get acquainted with each other -and their new surroundings - very quickly, forcing them to question and test everything they may think they know about their acquired survival skills and instincts." - Read More

5.  Documents Obtained By Judicial Watch Reveal FBI Training Curricula Purged of Material Deemed “Offensive” To Muslims

“FBI Removed Reference Linking Muslim Brotherhood to Terrorism: ‘unsuitable in the current political context’” – Judicial Watch

"Judicial Watch has released hundreds of pages of FBI memos and other documents revealing that, in 2012, the agency purged its anti-terrorism training curricula of material determined by an undisclosed group of 'Subject Matter Experts' (SME) to be 'offensive' to Muslims. The excised material included references linking the Muslim Brotherhood to terrorism, tying al Qaeda to the 1993 World Trade Center and Khobar Towers bombings, and suggesting that 'young male immigrants of Middle Eastern appearance … may fit the terrorist profile best.'

Judicial Watch obtained the materials on January 15 and on April 16, 2013, pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on July 18, 2012 (Judicial Watch v. Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:12-cv-01183)). The original FOIA request was made on March 7, 2012. It sought access to records detailing a February 8, 2012, meeting between FBI Director Robert Mueller and various Islamic organizations.  The FOIA request also asked for 'any and all records setting criteria or guidelines for FBI curricula on Islam or records identifying potentially offensive material within the FBI curricula on Islam,' as well as any directives to withdraw FBI presentations and curricula on Islam."  . . .

6.  Google Hires Obama's Reelection Campaign E-Team

“The hand-in-hand nature of this White House and some of the nation's biggest corporations is seen in yet another incident as Barack Obama's 2012 campaign data team is now moving from team Obama to team Google.” – Breitbart

"Obama's data mining team, used to great effect during his 2012 re-election campaign, has been hired nearly wholesale to work for Google.

This may not come as such a great surprise, however, as Google's Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt, helped organize and run Obama's re-election e-team.  Schmidt 'helped recruit talent, choose technology, and coach the campaign manager, Jim Messina, on the finer points of leading a large organization,' Bloomberg reports.

Since he came onto the national political scene, Barack Obama has campaigned like a veritable David vs. Goliath, with evil corporations standing in for Goliath while Obama presents himself as David loading his slingshot to do battle. But the reality is not quite that cut and dried, and Google has been a big recipient of Obama's largesse.

The Washington Examiner's Tim Carney points out that the administration is filled with Googleites and that President Obama and Google have a long standing love affair." . . . Read More

7.  Hunch About Bloomberg Brought Rivals Together

"Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are usually bitter rivals, competing for lucrative banking and trading business. But one day in April, the Wall Street titans found common ground: frustration with the Bloomberg news and financial data empire." – NewYorkTimes

"The two men shared one major concern: they believed that Bloomberg reporters were using the company’s data terminals to monitor Wall Street sources — the executives at the banks that were spending thousands of dollars a year to use the data-rich machines.

That phone call lifted the lid on a long-simmering, but seldom discussed, tension between Bloomberg and Wall Street. This article is based on interviews with many of the people with whom Mr. Siewert spoke.

There had long been suspicions among public relations executives that Bloomberg reporters might be using terminals to check up on bank executives. But one Wall Street chief executive, who spoke on the condition that he not be named, said recently, 'I hate it when something happens that hadn’t occurred to me, and this situation certainly hadn’t.' . . .

8.  Abortionist Agrees, Planned Parenthood ‘Never Listened To’ Nurses About ‘Nightmare’ Facility

“The nurses who exposed the “meat-market” conditions at a “nightmare” abortion facility say Planned Parenthood turned a deaf ear to their repeated complaints and pleas for action.” – LifeSiteNews

'Planned Parenthood is partly to blame for all this,' said Timothy Liveright, the 68-year-old abortionist who, according to the nurses and the state attorney general's office, is responsible for many of the violations in question. 'They've allowed this circus to continue. It's partly because they never listened to these women to begin with.'

The abortionist told The News Journal that he is being made a 'scapegoat' for the problems at the clinic.  Joyce Vasikonis and Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich said they alerted the abortion provider about the unsanitary practices of the Wilmington, Delaware, Planned Parenthood – where they say instruments were not sterilized between patients, Dr. Liveright reused bloody gloves, untrained staff members oversedated women and let them wander around, and women were rushed onto tables still stained with the blood of the previous patient.  Women 'could be at risk of getting hepatitis, even AIDS,' said Vasikonis." . . .

9.  Report: CO2 Not Responsible For Global Warming

"Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) — not carbon emissions — are the real culprit behind global warming, claims a  new study out of the University of Waterloo." – DailyCaller

"'Conventional thinking says that the emission of human-made non-CFC gases such as carbon dioxide has mainly contributed to global warming. But we have observed data going back to the Industrial Revolution that convincingly shows that conventional understanding is wrong,' said Qing-Bin Lu, a science professor at the University of Waterloo and author of the study.  'In fact, the data shows that CFCs conspiring with cosmic rays caused both the polar ozone hole and global warming,' Lu said.

Lu’s study runs counter to the long-standing argument that carbon dioxide emissions were the driving force behind global warming. Recently scientists warned that carbon concentrations were nearing the 400 parts per million level. Scientists say that carbon dioxide levels must be lowered to 350 ppm to avoid the severe impacts of global warming." . . . Read More

10.  China's First Lady Shines On LatAm Trip With Xi

"President Xi Jinping made history as the first Chinese leader to visit Trinidad and Tobago, but it is his glamorous wife Peng Liyuan who has turned the trip into a media sensation." - France24

"Peng is stealing the spotlight as she joins Xi on the visit to the dual island country off the coast of Venezuela, the first stop on a tour that will also take the couple to Costa Rica, Mexico and the United States.

Neither rain, the throngs jostling to see the visitors, nor the constant burst of camera flashes chronicling her public appearances flustered the impeccably dressed Chinese first lady, a former opera star fluent in English.

'She's a very beautiful person, very warm, and to chat with her in English was very wonderful,' gushed Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar after meeting Peng.

Peng understands the celebrity life: before Xi's rise to power she was a well-known soprano who toured the world promoting Chinese opera and music. For 24 years she also starred in an annual Lunar New Year gala broadcast on Chinese state television." . . . Read More

The Chinese obviously have leaders that are statesmen for their country, unlike some in the U.S.
