Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Out-of-State Billionaire Wages War on Affordable Energy in Nebraska ~ Tom Steyer, hedge fund bazillionare and climate alarmist, peddling anti-fracking propaganda. Another elitist who couldn’t care less how much the average Nebraskan pays for energy.
 
New York Times’ Trolling of Ted Cruz is Really Weak ~ Daniel Greenfield unravels the spin behind the attention-grabbing headlines.

 
Obama’s Wanton Lawlessness Should Disturb All Americans ~ Excellent article from David Limbaugh. Wake up people!

When elected officials thumb their noses at the law and do what they please, they are disenfranchising the voters and systematically dismantling the very system that ensures our liberties […]
This is our nation unraveling before our eyes. When will more people speak up against these abuses?

 
My Father Was Gay. Why I Oppose Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage ~ Cautionary tale from a Canadian woman raised by two gay men. Lesson: Everyone else loses freedoms when SSM is legal ~

I am a witness and I don’t want America to lose her hard-won freedoms as my fellow Canadians have. Marriage must remain between a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others.

 
Hillary Clinton: I’m the Real Victim of Benghazi ~ 😯 Apparently Obama’s audaciousness has rubbed off on old Hilly. The two of them stood by and let the jihadis murder four Americans and she’s the victim? ~

Tom Brady’s father among group seeking archbishop’s removal ~ Another faux Catholic who’s never read scripture. These apostate laity think they should be able to reverse 2000 years of church doctrine. The archbishop they want removed, Salvatore Cordileone

… has been under assault from some Catholics since news broke in February that teachers in archdiocesan-run schools would be required to sign a contract that states they “accept the Church’s teaching that all extra-marital sexual relationships are gravely evil and that these include adultery, masturbation, fornication, the viewing of pornography and homosexual relations.”

 
Meanwhile, there’s this shocker from Baltimore ~

Catholic Relief Services vice-president is in a gay ‘marriage’, promotes gay agenda ~ Huh?

Rick Estridge, Catholic Relief Services’ Vice President of Overseas Finance, who has worked for the U.S. Bishops’ official international humanitarian agency since as long ago as 2001, “married” his homosexual partner in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 4, 2013 […]
Estridge has also used social media to promote his views against Church teaching.

I sense a looming schism on the horizon…
 
Thank God for Father Cordileone – and for Franklin Graham – unafraid to call sin, “sin” ~ Rev.Graham: Gay Iceman ComicBook Made To Indoctrinate Our Young People to Accept This Destructive Lifestyle

 
Bobby Jindal’s standing strong too ~ “I’m Holding Firm Against Gay Marriage”

 
Executions Surge in Iran after Nuclear Talks, Iran off U.S. Terror List ~ Wow, so that worked well. Someone thought that if we treated Iran like a grown-up nation they’d act like a grown-up nation? ~

It is important to note that this government has stayed in power for 36 years solely by systematically killing its opponents both inside Iran and abroad.
 
“We recently received a report that strongly disturbs even the most seasoned human rights activists; it came from Zabol prison in the Baluchistan Province of Iran. Reliable sources told us that prisoners condemned to death are tied to a pole, and are left without food or water the day before they are hanged. No one ever heard of this sort of treatment before. The regime is becoming more barbaric with each day that the world remains silent and refuses to hold them accountable for human rights violations.
I am not sure how much more has to happen or be documented before the world starts to take notice. The question I would like to ask the P5+1 negotiators is: Can a country with such extensive, grotesque human rights violations be trusted in any way?” ~ Mina Ahadi, Founder of International Committee Against Executions (ICAE)

Minnesota city sues sanitary wipes makers over clogged pipes ~ Yucko. Turns out “flushable” wipes – weren’t ~

A Minnesota city is suing six makers of sanitary wipes, saying their “so-called flushable wipes” are clogging sewer systems.
The Star Tribune reports the lawsuit from the city of Wyoming says flushable wipes stay intact long enough to pass into sewer lines and wastewater treatment plants, causing thousands or millions of dollars in damage.

 
‘Ferguson’ Play Cast Members Quit After Learning Truth About Michael Brown Shooting ~ Lefties will soon be unable to tolerate objective Truth entirely; reality just doesn’t fit their agenda.
