More than half of new driver's licenses go to immigrants in U.S. illegally http://t.co/C6yus3QzSZ

Immigrants received 397,000 of the 759,000 original driver's licenses issued in California since the January beginning of a new law aimed at providing licenses to those not legally in the country but who can document their identity and California residency....
Gov. Jerry Brown and other state officials decided to provide licenses to immigrants so they could legally drive to work and school and to improve traffic safety by requiring them to pass the driver's license test and get insurance.
Many more immigrants are in line to receive the specially marked licenses, which do not entitle them to vote or board airplanes.
You think you know that Obama sold out America’s interests in cutting this deal with Tehran, but you really don’t know the half of it. Serious question: Is this a bigger affront to Congress’s authority than that executive mega-amnesty in November was? Normally I’d say that nothing could top the latter, but read this and tell me.
The U.N. Security Council scheduled a vote for first thing Monday morning on a resolution endorsing the Iran nuclear deal. The resolution was circulated to council members Wednesday by the United States. Members were also briefed by both Iran and the other countries that negotiated the landmark agreement to curb Iran´s nuclear program. With all five veto-wielding permanent members of the Security Council involved in the marathon Iran negotiations, the resolution´s adoption Monday was almost certain.
When political reporters are compelled by necessity to report on subjects that cast liberals in a negative light, nothing is more welcome than a reaction quote from a Republican. If a Democrat or a progressive interest group finds itself in the dock, the press can always count on Republicans to rescue liberals from due opprobrium by virtue of their very existence. The story is never the story; for political reporters and editors alike, the Republican reaction to the story is the preferred prism through which to view events Democrats find… discomforting.....

For example, there are three open seats on the five-member Manila Community Services District Board of Directors. There are also three seats – a board majority – open on the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District. There are many more scattered throughout the county, including the McKinleyville Union School District, which has four of its five seats up for grabs.
Planned Parenthood keeps insisting that the video is “heavily edited,” but the group released the entire 2-hour, 42-minute conversation nearly simultaneously. The transcript has been available almost as long. Other media outlets keep repeating this claim not as quotes from Planned Parenthood but as factual statements in their own reports...
So what can be done to head-off what appears to be a disaster for all those who do not believe Obama’s arguments and rationalization of the deal are sound?
The answer: Inspect as soon as possible, within days if not hours. Much of Iran’s illicit work occurs on military bases like Parchin, for example. Let’s force Iran’s hand. The agreement states if one side doesn’t adhere to its terms, then obligations on the other side are relieved.
Let Iran put up or shut up before they get their cash. Congress should still take its time to debate and refuse a very bad deal. But if Congress then fails to override the resulting veto, the very next day there must be a request to inspect as many suspect military sites as possible to force Iran’s hand.
The White House may be reticent; after all, they would rather bury intelligence than risk the reality of Obama’s deal to become clear.... So....
TheBlaze’s national security adviser Buck Sexton on Tuesday said President Barack Obama has “boxed the Israelis in” with the Iranian nuclear agreement, while freeing up the Iranians to become an even bigger threat...

LOS ANGELES, July 14—New undercover footage shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, describing how Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of aborted fetuses, and admitting she uses partial-birth abortions to supply intact body parts.
In the video, Nucatola is at a business lunch with actors posing as buyers from a human biologics company. As head of PPFA’s Medical Services department, Nucatola has overseen medical practice at all Planned Parenthood locations since 2009. She also trains new Planned Parenthood abortion doctors and performs abortions herself at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles up to 24 weeks.
The buyers ask Nucatola, “How much of a difference can that actually make, if you know kind of what’s expected, or what we need?”
“It makes a huge difference,” Nucatola replies. “I’d say a lot of people want liver. And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps. The kind of rate-limiting step of the procedure is calvarium. Calvarium—the head—is basically the biggest part.”
Nucatola explains, “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”
“And with the calvarium, in general, some people will actually try to change the presentation so that it’s not vertex,” she continues. “So if you do it starting from the breech presentation, there’s dilation that happens as the case goes on, and often, the last step, you can evacuate an intact calvarium at the end.” ...
