Today in Aston Pennsylvania candidate Donald Trump outlined an innovative plan to bring federal tax policies in line with the needs of today’s families.  The plan is not for the wealthy, but rather specifically targeted to provide the biggest benefit to working and middle-class families.
According to the proposal, the plan is needed because child care expenses are now one of the largest expenses in many families.  This complicates a family’s decision on how to care for young children.
The Trump tax reforms and policy proposals will allow a family to make the choice of whether a parent should work outside the home or not without bias from the tax code. Having employed and empowered thousands of women at every level throughout his entire career, Donald Trump understands the needs of the modern workforce.
Here’s a summary of the outline:

Proposals Contained In Mr. Trump Child Care Plan
PROPOSAL #1 : The Trump plan will rewrite the tax code to allow working parents to deduct from their income taxes child care expenses for up to four children and elderly dependents. (more…)

Indiana has some of the most ardent laws forbidding unsolicited voter contact which eliminates most polling organizations from conducting organized polling.  As a direct result there have been almost no polls conducted in the state, leaving a great deal of speculation about the state of the race.

Additionally, there’s a transparency of motive within the political media to jump over the April 26th primary states and focus attention on Indiana (May 3rd) to frame a narrative of larger political interest.
Indiana has clearly become the best hope for candidate Ted Cruz sell his position that he can stop Donald Trump from achieving the 1,237 delegates needed for an outright nomination victory.   Ergo Politico delivers an article showing some “private polling” information that helps maintain interest in the storyline: (more…)

The grand jury was charged with looking into whether or not Planned Parenthood violated the law as evidenced in the undercover videos.  However, in an unexpected turn of events, the activists involved in the expose’ are now indicted.

(Via Fox News)  A grand jury in Houston investigating undercover footage of Planned Parenthood allegations of misconduct instead indicted two anti-abortion activists who made videos of the organization on Monday.

Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said in a statement that the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, David Daleiden, was indicted on a felony charge of tampering with a governmental record and a misdemeanor count related to purchasing human organs.

Another center employee, Sandra Merritt, was also indicted on a charge of tampering with a governmental record. (more…)

When what you are is speaking so loudly, often no-one can hear a word you’re saying.
[…]  The reporter, Sam Dorman from CNS News, sat in the front row of her weekly press conference and asked: “Is an unborn baby with a human heart and a human liver a human being?”  As Pelosi began to dismiss the question as ideological, Dorman interrupted her and pressed her to answer.
The YouTube ID of Bh-SuqMdMfI?feature=player_embedded is invalid.
“Listen, I’m going to say something to you,” Pelosi replied sharply. “I don’t know who you are and you are welcome to be here in freedom of this press. I am a devout, practicing Catholic. I’m a mother of five children. When my baby was born, my fifth child, my oldest was six. I think I know more about this subject than you, with all due respect.” (link)

….While munching salad, and discussing the labeling on boxed shipments of “intact babies”, because they don’t want the opener to be “surprised”….
(Via Life News) […]  Today, a judge lifted the order and Center for Medical Progress immediately released a new video.

In the video, Cate Dyer, the CEO of StemExpress, is shown in a lunch meeting with undercover operatives posing as representatives of a biotech firm. Dyer is laughing about how StemExpress purchases fully intact aborted babies from Planned Parenthood. She laughs about how shippers of the aborted babies would give a warning to lab workers to expect such a baby.
“Oh yeah, if you have intact cases — which we’ve done a lot — we sometimes ship those back to our lab in its entirety,” she says.
“Tell the lab its coming,” she laughs about the intact unborn babies. “They don’t want to open the box and go ‘Oh my God,’” Dyer adds (more)

Here’s the Update: […]  The ruling is now official. The court noted that even if Stem Express prevails on their Penal Code 632 cause of action, “there is nothing in [that code section that] prevents the publication of information unlawfully procured through unlawful privacy violations.”
Judge O’Donnell reversed the previous court order that prohibited the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) from releasing any video from a conversation with Catherine Dyer and other Stem Express employees that took place on May 22, 2015.
Judge O’Donnell emphasized the importance of Daleiden and the CMP’s Constitutional rights in this case stating that “the proposed injunction would be a prior restraint on Defendant’s right to free speech under the First Amendment.”  This ruling paves the way for Daleiden and the CMP to publicize the conversation with Dyer and to continue to expose the ugly truth of fetal organ harvesting.

We have not seen much from Mia Love since she won election.  It’s nice to see and hear her voice in the national discussion. You can hear the frustration of being inside the DC-Machine within her voice. Speaker Boehner stinks.

Even the description is so gruesome to contemplate I’m putting the entire accompanying article below the fold.  And I strongly urge you to consider if you really want/need to know what goes on inside an abortion factory.
Here’s the video – BUT I would advise to strongly consider where you are when you view and/or listen to the content.

...And there’s five or six more of these videos anticipated?
