Kieran Corcoran reports at Heat Street:

Members of Iran's morality police are pressuring women into wearing the veil inside Christian places of worship.

Female officers were pictured outside the medieval Holy Savior Cathedral in Isfahan, enforcing the Islamic theocracy's repressive "modesty laws."

Visitors reported being lectured on whether or not their hijab was "appropriate" as they entered the Christian sanctuary, part of the Armenian Orthodox Church.

Griff Jenkins of Fox News reports on a brutal attack that occurred before the now infamous recent alleged rape at Rockville High School in Maryland.

Parents are outraged, as they should be. Watch this video report at Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Zach Swaim begins his College Fix report with the following quote from an email student Marshall Polston sent to Prof. Areej Zufari of Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida:

On the one hand you report me to the dean for correcting you while you were indoctrinating students with false information.

On the other hand a Muslim student in class cracks a joke about chopping someone's body parts off and you do nothing.

Mark Moore reports at the NYPost:

Breitbart News' request for Capitol Hill press credentials was denied until "more answers" can be provided on whether top White House adviser Steve Bannon has severed ties with the conservative website, according to a report on Monday.

The Standing Committee of the Senate Press Gallery put the request on hold, citing the need for "more answers," The Daily Beast reported.

"Larry Solov, president and CEO of Breitbart, sent a letter seeking permanent press credentials that confirmed that Bannon resigned from the news site in November 2016," the Post reports. "Solov went on to write that Bannon, who helped run the Trump presidential campaign, 'has no editorial, executive, financial or other role or interest' in Breitbart."

Bumps in the road remain for Breitbart. A Standing Committee "member said other than 'us trusting Larry' there was no proof Bannon had cut all ties, the Daily Beast reported," according to the Post.

In addition, members of the board want to "clarify any role conservative donor and President Trump supporter Rebekah Mercer reportedly has in making editorial decisions," the Post reports.

"Mercer's father, hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer, invested $10 million in Breitbart, according to The New Yorker," the Post states.

The committee is set to "meet again to consider credentials on April 25," according to the Post. Until then, "reporters for Breitbart will receive temporary passes."

"What do you do with a group that calls itself the 'Tea Party Express' and goes on to endorse a bill that, at its heart, is anti-Tea Party?," Chris Pandolfo asks at CR. "You expose it for the scam it is."

Daniel Horowitz writes at CR:

The simple truth of this entire health care debate is that the insurance regulations are the heart and soul of Obamacare. Without repeal of those elements, prices will never come down, the market will never be restored, and there will always be a need for massive subsidization at crushing prices until we get single payer.

It is also the simple truth that Republicans never had any intention of repealing those elements because they never wanted to repeal them.

Secretary of HHS, Tom Price, confirmed this reality on Sunday. As such, everything else is just a distraction.

Stephen Dinan reports at the WTimes:

The Obama administration last year began the process of granting legal status to a 36-year-old illegal immigrant with a long criminal rap sheet whom agents had twice tried to deport, and who now stands accused of killing his 15-year-old girlfriend, mother of one child with him and pregnant with another.

The Texas case, involving Armando Garcia-Ramirez, a Mexican, is raising new questions about immigration enforcement under President Obama, as supporters of President Trump point to the matter as proof of a broken immigration system.

"Mr. Garcia may even have been the girl's stepfather at the time he impregnated her," the Times contiunes, "something federal authorities apparently missed last year after he was arrested for smuggling five other illegal immigrants into the U.S."

"Millions of people around the world are still lacking human rights, but a river in New Zealand isn't," the Blaze reports. "A recent parliamentary vote grants the Whanganui River the same legal standing as a human being, ensuring it will be represented by two guardians in any legal matters over the water way."

The Pearcey Report has reached out to the government of New Zealand to obtain contact information to possibly "interview the river for further comment on this landmark event." We will alert you with regard to any updates from the NZ government or comments from the river.

Eric Owens reports at the Daily Caller:

An evangelical Christian university in Minnesota is encouraging its professors to stop using words with masculine connotations -- such as "man" and "mankind" -- because those words aren't sufficiently "inclusive."

That institution would be Bethel University in St. Paul (who was a male, by the way). There's much more to the story, and you can read the entire news report here.

Meanwhile, a little application: If you want to learn how the God who created human language in the first place just couldn't get his Scripture pronouns right -- and to pay $46,550 annually for tuition, fees, room and meals for that amazing spiritual enlightenment and advance in "our Christian witness" -- then Bethel University could be just the comfy Nirvana you're looking for.

Meanwhile, Part 2: Secularists of the world -- Relax. With Christians and universities like this -- no worries. Just nudge them along nice and easy. Show them a little hate, then a little love. They can't wait to fall into line. They're begging for your discipleship program.

Brandon Morse reports at The Blaze:

More bad news for those who believe socialism is the way to go, as more information has surfaced about Venezuela's ever crumbling finances and infrastructure.

According to information recently garnered by the nonprofit Transparency International [TI], Venezuela's government owns, or has a majority ownership in 511 businesses within the country. Sadly for Venezuela, 70 percent of these companies are bleeding money, and potentially contributing to Venezuela's continued financial downfall.

"We started this study because nobody really knows how many companies the state is running," said Mercedes De Freitas of TI, according to the Blaze. "The state has invaded every sector imaginable."

"The amount of money lost by the companies isn't something to scoff at either, with 2016 seeing a total of $129 billion gone from the failing businesses," the Blaze reports.

"Venezuela's citizens have been relegated to literal and figurative bread lines in order to get the food and supplies they need for everyday living," the Blaze concludes. "Women have even been sterilizing themselves to avoid bringing another mouth to feed into the world," and many Venezuelans "have lost dangerous amounts of weight due to starvation."

Rob Shimshock reports at the Daily Caller:

Students from one Iowan high school recently apologized to the principal of another Iowan high school when people found their choice of red, white and blue attire offensive.

Supporters of the Des Moines North High School basketball team, many of whose players are from refugee families, were offended when fans of Valley High School's basketball team wore red, white and blue last week,  the College Fix reports.

"This is an example of BLATANT racism," said Ty Leggett, a Valley High School alum, on the Valley High School -- WDMCS Facebook page. "ALL participating should have been pulled and banned from ALL VHS extracurricular events for the remainder of the year! As a parent, I'd be mortified that my son or daughter thought this way, acted in this fashion and refrained from taking a stand against this 21st century inexcusable behavior!"

You can read the rest of what, apparently, is not a fake news story here.

Let's be clear: Any American-occupying high school student, teacher, principal, parent, coach or staff member who thinks the mere wearing U.S. flag colors is offensive or racist is offically now flunked out of the United States. There's a bonus: If you can't figure out why you've flunked out, expect to pay $1776.00 in reparations on your way out of the country.

In addition, any person inside the borders of the United States who apologizes or in any other manner cowers in the face of such drop-dead stupidity is also now officially flunked out of the United States of America. And if you too cannot figure out why you've flunked out, expect also to pay $1776.00 in reparations on your way out of the country.

Thank you. And have a good day.

Chris Pandolfo writes at CR:

Thursday on the radio, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin gave the rundown on the press conference of Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc. (F, 51%), in which Ryan tried to give the hard sell to Americans on the Republican American Health Care Act "reform" plan.

Levin called Ryan’s proposal "repeal in name only." Or, if you will, "RINOcare," because the GOP plan keeps the core of Obamacare in place. 

According to Pandolfo, "Levin had a 'number of questions' for the speaker, questions that so far remain unanswered."

Questions such as:

"How much will the average American's deduction go up, or down?"

Further, Levin asked, how much will the federal government be spending on subsidies for certain individuals? Will individuals be able to see the doctors they want? The specialists they need? Will individuals be able to go to the hospital of their choice? Will they be able to get the medicines they need to get?

The deeper "problem with RINOcare, Levin explained, is it embraces the Left's assumption that government involvement is needed to make health insurance affordable. It embraces progressivism; it embraces centralization."

The mainstream American initiative -- as the Declaration and U.S. Constitution make clear -- is that a free and dignified people are competent to run their own lives, including making decisions about healthcare choices, in liberating community with God and our fellow man -- male and female, red and yellow, black and white.

This initiative is central to the affirmation that "all men are created equal" and "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" -- an affirmation that the Constitution was written and ratified to incarnate into the American body politic.

And centralized healthcare regulated, defined, and controlled by that Swamp called Washington, D.C., and the federal government -- well, that stands in total antithesis to the genius of the enduring human and American spirit.

Trump and Co. should be seeking healthcare policy consistent with these transcendent principles of freedom. For whereas "unalienable rights" liberate, Obamacare or any other kind of "care" from any form of government that violates unalienable rights necessarily diminishes the human spirit.

No amount of money, no magical words of rhetoric or sincere intentions, and no concentration of political power can fix such a foundational error in thought, practice, and policy.

"Republicans have blown it," Levin says. "There is something horribly immoral" about RINOcare.

Matthew Boyle reports at Breitbart:

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is calling on House Republicans to withdraw the Obamacare 2.0 bill, the American Health Care Act, that House Speaker Paul Ryan put forward and "start over."

The strong words from Cotton -- including the comparison of the process that Ryan has been pushing to the efforts now House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi used to push Obamacare through back when she was Speaker -- come as Ryan has lost considerable support inside the Republican Party when it comes to this legislation.

"Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has been leading an effort along with Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the House Freedom Caucus to get Republicans to rethink how they handle this rather rushing through what amounts to Obamacare 2.0," Boyle continues.

"The bill from Ryan keeps the individual mandate but tweaks it so the government no longer collects a tax from those who do not purchase health insurance but insurance companies -- with government backing for enforcement -- collect a fee from those who do not purchase health insurance," Boyle writes.

"Behind the Women's March on Washington and a Day Without a Woman is a rich man: liberal billionaire George Soros," Valerie Richardson reports at the Washington Times.

Jamie Lewis writes at American Thinker:

CNN just published the results of an outright espionage operation against the Trump White House, by pointing a vibration-sensitive camera at the window of the Oval Office. 

This is an espionage technique, and it is obviously a major violation of national security laws. 

CNN is gambling that any arrested "journalists" (spies) can be turned into martyrs against the Trump White House.

Environmentalists in Texas are standing by their leader even after it was revealed he had been imprisoned for various charges, including rape . . . and has been on the run from authorities for over a decade.

Protesters were shocked this week when Pedro Rabago Gutierrez, who went by Pete Hefflin while leading protests at the site of the Trans-Pecos Pipeline in West Texas, was arrested and had his criminal history and true identity exposed.

Susannah Breslin writes at Forbes:

For women, is owning a gun a feminist act?

The NRA says: You bet.

A provocative new video from the National Rifle Association, the country's hard-charging advocate for gun rights, argues that women who buy firearms are engaged in an act of self-empowerment.

The video, "Why Women Own Guns," is the latest episode of NRATV's newly launched firearms-focused The DL program, hosted by Dana Loesch, a Democrat turned conservative commentator and author of Hands Off My Gun: Defeating the Plot to Disarm America.

"The Left loves to talk about empowering women, but the real litmus test for that is your support for the Second Amendment," Loesch says in opening Why Women Own Guns. "Because if you don't support a women's right to choose to defend herself against a rapist with a firearm, you don't support women. Period."

I recommend this video to my family and yours.

Watch Why Women Own Guns.

Warner Todd Huston reports at Breitbart:

The stock value of transgender-champion Target Corp. crashed by 13.5 percent this week after the company's sales again fell below investors'expectations.

Target's stock value is now down by 30 percent since it sparked a consumer boycott by embracing the transgender political agenda. That 30 percent drop has slashed investors' wealth by roughly $15 billion. [emhasis added]

On Tuesday, the stock fell to $58.78, down from its April 19 high of $83.98. In contrast, WalMart is up 3 percent since April, and Kohl’s is down less than one percent.

"Company officials indirectly acknowledged the consumer boycott," Huston reports. "Our fourth-quarter results reflect the impact of rapidly changing consumer behavior, which drove very strong digital growth but unexpected softness in our stores," Breitbart quotes Target CEO Brian Cornell as saying in an official statement.

"Leaders at the American Family Association highlighted the company's worsening situation," Huston writes.

"The American Family Association has called for a boycott of Target since last April after the chain publicized the fact that it would allow men to use the women's restrooms and fitting rooms in their stores," AFA President Tim Wildmon stated, according to Breitbart.

"This [policy] is unacceptable for families, and the dangerous and misguided policy continues to put women and children in harm's way. [emphasis added] Men don't belong in the same bathroom as our wives and daughters," Wildmon also stated, Breitbart reports.

Rasmussen reports:

Most voters agree that it's bad for America and bad for the Democratic Party if Democrats continue to flat out oppose everything President Trump does. Even Democrats are conflicted about their party's scorched earth policy.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 29% of all Likely U.S. Voters think it's better for the country if Democrats oppose the president in every way possible.

Sixty-three percent (63%) say it's better for the country if Democrats try to work with the president instead.

"Forty-four percent (44%) of Democrats feel it's better for both the country and their party if they oppose the new president as much as possible," Rasmussen states. "But 46% say it's better for America if Democrats try to work with Trump, and 45% say it's better for their party, too."
