| HOUSTON -- Planned Parenthood and Texas officials are headed back to court in early November, the latest round of legal wrangling in a fight over funding. On Friday, a Texas district court judge in Austin issued a temporary restraining order barring Texas officials from eliminating Planned Parenthood from the Women's Health Program if they continue to accept federal funds. Judge Amy Clark Meachum issued the order in response to a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood that argues a new state rule barring clinics affiliated with abortion providers from receiving funding under the program is invalidated by the Texas Human Resources Code,

Trucker Observation: Melissa Rangel is an Obama Stash welfare queen. We all face hard choices. That's life. Doesn't mean she can extract payments from other Texans to make her rich and the rest of us tax payers poorer.

We in Texas are happy to support our State government in suing the pants off PP. Reportedly, a great majority of States have expressed opposition to Roe vs Wade. I hope some of those States will join Texas in this battle. There is strength in numbers.

Late news, Texas has already done an end run on the crooked Judge and the hucksters at Planned Murder. There is NO WAY Texans will allow these thugs to get money, to hell with the judge and all the Lib horses she rode in on.

Good for Texas. Tell me, how does one judge get to overrule the mandate of elected state officials? Ignore her and follow the law. PP has no right to tax payer money. NONE! It's time to put a stop to this. Liberals have gotten away with this so long that we naturally defer to the court process to overrule one silly judge. Let these judges know they are not kings and queens and make them obey the laws the legislatures make, not issue their own laws under the guise of restraining orders. How in the world has this continued to happen?

Living the good life on welfare. Even the Europeans recognize that they pay a high price for creating an increasingly dependent society. Denmark has been transfixed by the revelation of a 36-year-old single mother who collects more in benefits than many Danes earn at work, and has done so for two decades. Worried Karen Haekkerup, Minister of Social Affairs and Integration, people “think of these benefits as their rights. The rights have just expanded and expanded.” But it’s really not that much different in the U.S., the nominal home of the free. Nearly two decades ago welfare reform briefly captured

It is titled,“Immigration Bill S. 744 Allows Milllions of Illegal Immigrants to Become Citizens in 5 Years – And Bring Their Relatives On An Expedited Basis.” * Those who qualify for the broad DREAM Act fast-track amnesty under S. 744 – estimated by Steve Camarota to be between 2 to 3 million people – are able to become citizens after being

Six months after Hurricane Sandy ravaged parts of New York, federal disaster workers have visited just 25 of 50 badly damaged city schools, education officials said Wednesday. Storm damage forced the closure of 102 schools for more than a week after Sandy hit, displacing nearly 75,000 kids. By January, all of the schools were repaired and reopened, but those 50 lack classroom materials and technology ruined by the deluge. “We still have some clouds from Hurricane Sandy hanging over our heads,” said Brian O’Connell, principal of Scholars’ Academy in Rockaway Park, Queens.

Deportation has become a near-taboo word. Yet the Boston bombings inevitably rekindle old questions about the way the U.S. admits, and at times deports, foreign nationals. Despite the Obama administration’s politically driven and cyclical claims of deporting either a lot more or a lot fewer non-citizens, no one knows how many are really being sent home — for a variety of reasons. There are not any accurate statistics on how many people are living in the United States illegally. And how does one define deportation?

The Constitution stands on trial in Boston. After a manhunt with a warrantless search of thousands of homes — sometimes at gunpoint — the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing was finally captured. The birthplace of the American independence movement shouldn’t be the place where liberty dies. Fortunately, the Obama administration got it mostly right when it decided Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ought to be tried in a federal court for the federal crime of “using a weapon of mass destruction.” Others, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, wanted the prime suspect interrogated as an enemy combatant, where a defendant is clothed in minimal rights.

The Patrick administration clamped down the lid yesterday on Herald requests for details of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s government benefits, citing the dead terror mastermind’s right to privacy. Across the board, state agencies flatly refused to provide information about the taxpayer-funded lifestyle for the 26-year-old man and his brother and accused accomplice Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. On EBT card status or spending, state welfare spokesman Alec Loftus would only say Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife and 3-year-old daughter received benefits that ended in 2012. He declined further comment.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Officer Sean A. Collier was 27, not much older than the Massachusetts Institute of Technology students he watched over as a campus police officer, and he sometimes joined them in a game of darts or Xbox. So when an ambulance staffed by students rolled past his parked patrol car last Thursday night, he flashed his blue lights to say hello. The students answered with their red lights. It was just a little after that routine interaction, the police said, that a pair of men approached Officer Collier’s squad car from behind

Without calling a single witness, the defense yesterday rested in the cast of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist facing five counts of murder. That’s one count of murder for allegedly killing a woman who came to his “Women’s Medical Society” in search of a late-term abortion, his specialty. And four counts for infants allegedly delivered and born alive, then callously murdered in cold blood as they fought for life. In a probably related note, President Obama has canceled plans to give the keynote address at tonight’s Planned Parenthood fund-raiser in Washington. With Gosnell in the headlines,

Did you hear that? The shotgun blast heard ‘round the world? It happened when A&E Network’s hit reality TV show Duck Dynasty reached over 8 million viewers in its season premiere. Like any gunshot, it got my attention. I tuned in to see what all the fuss is about and am now hopelessly hooked on this revolutionary bit of televised perfection. I quickly discovered that Duck Dynasty has very little to do with ducks or duck hunting, and everything to do with traditional American values and the current American condition.

When former Auburn Teachers Association (ATA) president Sally Jo Widmer passed away last November after more than 35 years at the helm of the small New York teachers’ union, former Auburn mayor Guy Cosentino eulogized her as “a true union leader who put her union first and personal niceties second.” That’s because Cosentino didn’t have access to her checkbook. Members were informed this week that Widmer misappropriated at least $800,000 in union dues during the period 2006-2012. “It appears that money earmarked for the Association was instead used for meals, gasoline, trips, gambling, clothing, grocery shopping – and for cash advances,”

Of the many uncomfortable truths emerging from last week’s bombing and subsequent manhunt—including the fact that American cities are still vulnerable to Islamic terrorism—one of the most troubling but least talked-about is the fact that martial law may now become part of the municipal playbook. It was not two immigrant brothers—“losers,” their uncle called them—who closed down Boston, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, put military vehicles in its streets, and sent men in helmets and flak jackets into peoples’ homes. It was our elected leaders: our local, state, and federal political officials and law-enforcement authorities.

The investigation into poisoned letters mailed to President Barack Obama and others has shifted from an Elvis impersonator to his longtime foe, and authorities must now figure out if an online feud between the two men might have escalated into something more sinister. Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was released from a north Mississippi jail on Tuesday and charges against him were dropped, nearly a week after authorities charged him with sending ricin-laced letters to the president, Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and an 80-year-old Lee County, Miss., Justice Court judge, Sadie Holland. Before Curtis left jail,

Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned. State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits. Russell Tsarnaev’s attorney has claimed Katherine — who had converted to Islam —

Tamerlan Tsarnaev is telling no tales. The older of the two brothers who committed the Boston Marathon bombings was likely the one who planned the attack, but when he died in a shootout with police just days after the blasts, his thoughts and motivations vanished with him. But the brain that was home to his angry mind remains, and in this case that may mean something. Tsarnaev was an amateur boxer who won the New England Golden Gloves competition as recently as 2009 and 2010. That speaks to a young man with a healthy sense

In the same place,’” Obama said with a smile. “And we´ll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo.” “And our thinking is that might dissuade them from thinking that that somehow that´s

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks. “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”

Think of it as a horizontal townhouse. Most developers hype the sky-high verticals of their new glitzy buildings, but a new condominium called The Whitman — soon to be home to former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton - has a completely different selling point: It features the longest apartments in the city. The four-unit building stretches an entire block between E. 26th and E. 27th Sts. It takes almost 30 second to walk the approximate 250-foot central corridor.

Joined by The Daily Beast’s Tina Brown, the panel also took a look at media portrayal — stressing that we can’t “demonize” all of Islam when we talk about radicals. “The whole family was becoming radicalized, and perhaps by their inability to fit in this culture,” Brown remarked, speaking about “home-grown” terrorism and the Tsarnaev family.
