Think about this case carefully.  Think about all of the ramifications to it. 
A 17-year-old cancer patient does not want to undergo chemotherapy.  She asked her mom to support her decision.  After various long-term discussions, Mom agreed that her daughter should have her wishes respected.  The state steps in and says no, the teen must have Chemo.   She is now physically locked inside a Connecticut hospital, having forced treatment against her will.  She cannot leave.  She turns 18 in September this year.
*Additional note – If she wanted to have an abortion, in the same hospital, under the current state laws and rules, she alone could decide and would not need parental approval/notification…. 
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A 17-year-old girl being forced by state officials to undergo chemotherapy for her cancer said Thursday she understands she’ll die if she stops treatment but it should be her decision.
The state Supreme Court ruled earlier in the day state officials aren’t violating the rights of the girl, Cassandra C., who has Hodgkin lymphoma.
Cassandra told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview from her hospital it disgusts her to have “such toxic harmful drugs” in her body and she’d like to explore alternative treatments. She said by text she understands “death is the outcome of refusing chemo” but believes in “the quality of my life, not the quantity.”
“Being forced into the surgery and chemo has traumatized me,” Cassandra wrote in her text. “I do believe I am mature enough to make the decision to refuse the chemo, but it shouldn’t be about maturity, it should be a given human right to decide what you want and don’t want for your own body.” (more…)

Let it not be said that no Muslim Leaders have been trying to fight openly against the extremist Islamists. On New Year’s Day, a week before the Charlie Hebdo attacks, Egyptian President Fattah El Sisi called for all muslim nations to displace violent jihad and bring Islam into the 21st century.
El Sisi has been fighting against the extremists, and confronting their financiers in Qatar, for two years… Meanwhile the Obama White House and the liberal MSM have undermined him at almost every turn.
JERUSALEM—In a speech on New Year’s day, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called for a “religious revolution” in Islam that would displace violent jihad from the center of Muslim discourse.
“Is it possible that 1.6 billion people (Muslims worldwide) should want to kill the rest of the world’s population—that is, 7 billion people—so that they themselves may live?” he asked. “Impossible.”
Speaking to an audience of religious scholars celebrating the birth of Islam’s prophet, Mohammed, he called on the religious establishment to lead the fight for moderation in the Muslim world. “You imams (prayer leaders) are responsible before Allah. The entire world—I say it again, the entire world—is waiting for your next move because this umma (a word that can refer either to the Egyptian nation or the entire Muslim world) is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost—and it is being lost by our own hands.” (more…)

New York Times refuses to show Charlie Hebdo cartoons.  NBC Refuses to publish.   UK Guardian too twitchy. Associated Press frightened to publish.  Time Magazine edits out Mohammed pictures.  So Here’s what they are afraid of:

The Keystone Pipeline has the support of 68% of all Americans and President Obama has vowed to kill any efforts toward it.    Some people ask why would Obama take a position so far away from the American electorate?   
I quietly respond: when ObamaCare was constructed 74% of the nation opposed it – what ‘the majority want’ has nothing to do with what progressives do.  They do what they want.  
WASHINGTON DC – The White House said on Tuesday that it would veto legislation that approves construction of the Keystone XL pipeline if it passes Congress.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised to make a bill that green lights the $8 billion oil sands project the first item to hit President Obama’s desk this year. (more…)

The left-wing media machine is striking out against Sharyl Attkisson for filing suit.  However, what the professional left fail to address is the ever present question: what other venue for redress does Attkisson have?  The DOJ obtusely denies the claim stating:

To our knowledge, the Justice Department has never compromised Ms. Attkisson’s computers, or otherwise sought any information from or concerning any telephone, computer or other media device she may own or use. (link)

Yet, within the legal DOJ obfuscation you’ll note the absence of a specific denial.  Against the backdrop of a provably weaponized DOJ commanded by Attorney General Eric Holder, who has specifically and intentionally targeted reporters, there is more than enough evidence to support the Attkisson forensic team who have identified government agencies as the source of the illegal tapping.   The discovery phase of a lawsuit is the only actionable redress to gain sunlight. 
(VIA FOX NEWS) Former CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has sued the Justice Department over the hacking of her computers, officially accusing the Obama administration of illegal surveillance while she was reporting on administration scandals.

The Republican leadership of the U.S. government is acting French…
WASHINGTON DC – Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is “not opposed” to negotiating with President Obama, he said in an interview with CNN that aired Sunday, and expressed eagerness to work with the president to find a middle ground in the coming year.

“Now he needs to talk to us,” McConnell said. “And that’s good, because when the American people elect a divided government, they’re not saying they don’t want anything done. What they are saying is, they want things done in the political center, things that both sides can agree on. We talk about the things where there may be some agreement.”

VICE NEWS is in a panic, because their (open secret) Occupy Wall Street-minded staff underpinnings are about to be exposed. Vice news is now claiming that Jarrod Shanahan is not part of their media organization. However, their lies are being easily outed. This might be popcorn time if VICE NEWS continue to deny the obvious and watch their credibility explode…
NEW YORK – A Brooklyn activist who has written anti-cop screeds – and boasted of punching his boss in the face – was busted Thursday over the infamous attack on the two NYPD lieutenants during a Brooklyn Bridge protest, officials said.

Jarrod Shanahan, identified by the NYPD as ‘Male Suspect #2′, was caught on video kicking one of the cops after a mob of protesters dragged him down on Dec. 13. (more…)
