Marine Takes Big Step Toward Recovery From Traumatic Brain Injury

When in the Course of Human Events   By Lowman S. Henry   This is the time of year when Americans celebrate the anniversary of our declaration of independence from Great Britain.  It is ironic that the United Kingdom itself a few days ago found it necessary "for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another."  By leaving the European Union the British people have reconfirmed that the longing for liberty is an eternal emotion.   Meanwhile, here in the colonies, the very document that ensured our rights as a free people has been under relentless attack.  TheConstitution of the United States has withstood the test of time. After the Articles of Confederation failed to provide the framework for an effective federal government delegates from the 13 colonies met in Philadelphia and in September of 1787 put their signatures to the document which, at least theoretically, remains our nation's ultimate authority.   On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify theConstitution which then took effect on March 4, 1789.  The document was, however, viewed as incomplete and several states insisted on the inclusion of ten amendments, which became known as the Bill of Rights.  Those amendments were ratified and became effective on December 15, 1791.    That the Bill of Rights was necessary is evidenced by periodic efforts throughout our nation's history to disregard, water down, or remove them entirely.  Perhaps no amendment has been so violated as the tenth which limits the power of the federal government.  Congress and the president, frequently with complicity by the Supreme Court, have consistently throughout the ages infringed on this right.  Today the assault continues, especially upon the second amendment governing our right to keep and bear arms.  The non-existent "right" of freedom from religion has replaced the "free exercise of religion" guaranteed in the first amendment.   It is safe to assume that the founding fathers would place in the first amendment those rights that they viewed as most vital to a free people.  It is here that the Constitution guarantees our right to freedom of speech and of the press.  Now obviously there was no electronic media or internet back in 1787, but freedom of speech and of the press clearly applies to all means of communication.   A free press was instrumental in our nation's founding.  The only method of mass communication was through the printing press producing formal newspapers, pamphlets, and broadsides.  From Thomas Paine during the revolution to the Federalist Papers, the expression of opinion via the printed word was a vital means of exercising free speech.  Throughout our history we have depended on a free press to keep government in check, such as it did during the Watergate scandal of the 1970s.  So vital is a free press that it is often referred to as the "fourth estate," or fourth branch of government.   It is therefore disturbing to see candidates and elected officials from the national to the local level trampling this vital right.  In just the last few weeks, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has banned the Washington Post from covering his campaign events.  Here in Penn's Woods, the Democratic mayor of Harrisburg, Eric Papenfuse, has revoked the credentials of the capitol city's newspaper the Patriot News/Penn Live. Papenfuse's actions are especially curious in that he is the owner of a prominent bookstore, so you would think he might have some loyalty to the unfettered circulation of the printed word.   My goal here is not to defend the content of these publications - whose left-wing ideology frequently taints their reporting of the news - but to stand up for their right to do so.  If elected officials, from mayors to presidents can decide who can cover the news they can also then control the news.  This is not only a violation of the media's constitutional rights, but an existential threat to our democracy and ultimately our individual liberty.   As we celebrate our freedom with fireworks and back yard barbecues let us always remember that the trampling of one right is the trampling of all rights.  The loss of any one right puts us on a very slippery slope which will ultimately lead to the loss of all rights.  From freedom of the press, to freedom of religion, to our right to keep and bear arms, we must fight to protect our God-given rights against those who would take them away.   (Lowman S.

Oklahoma Defunds Planned Parenthood, Medicaid Agency Cancels Its Contracts

The state of Oklahoma is taking steps to divorce itself from the Planned Paethood abortion business after the company was caught selling the body parts of aborted babies. A Medicaid agency is canceling the contracts it has with the abortion company.

Last year, Oklahoma pro-life Gov. Mary Fallin called for defunding Planned Parenthood after a state review discovered that the abortion giant’s state affiliates may be overbilling Medicaid.  Visit:

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback Signs Bill to Permanently De-Fund Planned Parenthood

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback today signed a bill that would ensure that no taxpayer dollars are going to fund the abortion industry.  Kansas Senate Bill 436 would prioritize Title X grants, which are taxpayer-funded, by awarding them to full-service public health clinics and hospitals first. Planned Parenthood, which often receives these grants from various states, would be pushed to the end of the list because it does not provide comprehensive health care and, essentially, defunded.  Visit"  Kansas Governor Sam Brownback Signs Bill to Permanently De-Fund Planned Parenthood

Louisiana House Passes Bill to Ban Dismemberment Abortions Tearing Off Baby’s Limbs

Several states have already approved or are considering legislation to ban the dismemberment abortion technique — used to tear off a baby’s limbs during the abortion procedure during the latter portions of pregnancy. The Louisiana House today approved the pro-life bill to ban dismemberment abortions  Dismemberment abortion, performed on a fully-formed, living unborn baby, is a barbaric and dangerous procedure in which the unborn child is literally ripped apart in the womb and pulled out in pieces. The law embodies model legislation from the National Right to Life Committee.

A small newspaper in Indiana reported that Trump won three of five states this evening before 8:30 pm.  The PA state department web site reported that only 1 out of 9,173 districts in Pennsylvania, or 0.01% had reported their election results.    By 9:00 pm George Stephanopoulos announced Trump would win all five states  with less than three percent reporting in PA.  This si not reporting the news, it is making a forecast.  Honest reporting would be giving the accurate figures as they come in
