Pelosi Allegedly Slipped Abortion Carve Out Into Coronavirus Stimulus
According to White House officials, Nancy Pelosi attempted to slip funding into coronavirus stimulus for organizations that are banned from receiving funds by the Hyde Amendment.
The Hyde Amendment is a piece of legislation passed in 1976 (and most recently altered in 1993) banning the use of federal funds for abortions. The only exceptions are for abortions done in order to save the life of the mother or because the mother had been a victim of rape or incest.
By trying to include a provision in the stimulus package that would provide funds without the limits of the Hyde Amendment, Pelosi was effectively sneaking in federal abortion funding for elective abortions. Meaning, taxpayers who have a moral objection to abortion may have been forced to foot the bill for abortions done out of mere convenience.

We can most reasonably assume that this was not a slip up, but intentional.
There was general agreement on the Hyde Amendment until very recent. Or at least, Democrats pretended to not want to repeal the Hyde Amendment until fairly recently.
It was less than four years ago that Hillary Clinton ran for president. During that election cycle she stated her desire to see the Hyde Amendment repealed.
This position was still not popular at that time.
Clinton was one of the only modern Presidnetial candidates to state her opposition to the Hyde Amendment. She even went as far as to put repealing it as an explicitly stated part of the Democratic platform for the 2016 election.
Since then, most Democrats have jumped on board. Even the so-called moderate Joe Biden now supports repealing the Hyde Amendment.
This sudden dramatic shift in support over the last four years is one of the things that makes this abortion funding provision seem to be an intentional effort to ignore the Hyde Amendment and get abortions funded by the federal government.
White House officials agree this was an intentional effort by Pelosi. They were outraged, saying,
“Under the guise of protecting people, Speaker Pelosi is working to make sure taxpayer dollars are spent covering abortion which is not only backwards, but goes against historical norms.”
The politicization of every event is commonplace in our society, with this being just one more example.

Flashback: Ann Coulter Warns Steve Bannon about Donald Trump’s Hires During 2016
Coulter tells it like it is.
Earlier this week, former White House adviser Steve Bannon reached out to President Donald Trump, in an apparent move to reconcile with the president. Bannon was one of the more renowned advisors in the Trump administration who received a lot of attention for his unconventional views. The former White House adviser is likely looking for Trump to pardon him for several federal criminal charges that he is currently facing.
Bannon was one of the strongest contrarian voices on the right who questioned traditional conservative dogma on free trade and immigration. His rise to prominence represented a raw, populist anger that was building within the Republican Party base. Bannon ended up leaving the Trump administration after the infamous Charlottesville rally. This left a massive void for populist voices within the Trump brain trust, which was never adequately filled with populist figures.
Most of the strong populist voices during the Trump era came from the outside. Conservative commentator Ann Coulter has been one of the leading figures trying to steer populist discourse in America.Although a harsh critic, Coulter did her best to hold President Trump accountable and watch his every move, especially personnel decisions that did not align with his America first vision. To the average pro-Trump individual, Coulter’s criticism may come off as abrasive, but it was and still is necessary to have a viable nationalist movement.
As a reminder to her followers about how she knew that there were subversive elements in the Trump administration who wanted to gut the president’s America First agenda and pursue more traditional Republican policies, she tweeted about email correspondence she had with Bannon dating back to December 2, 2016. In light of the rapprochement between Bannon and Trump, Coulter called attention to how she warned the former White House adviser about some of the latter’s questionable staffing decisions during the early stages of his presidency.
Coulter tweeted, “No, actually, I knew Trump was betraying us pretty early on – and that it would cost him re-election. My December 2, 2016 email to Steve Bannon:”

In an email sent on December 2, 2016 with a subject line titled “ghost of christmas future”, Coulter warned then-White House adviser Bannon about some of Trump’s hiring decisions.
She first noted that “the fact that Trump is even CONSIDERING rep. Mccaul (rubio in the house) for homeland — and is NOT considering kobach— tells me we’re not getting any major deportations, no removal of refugees, no e-verify, no end to end anchor babies… and trump will be dead.
also, “mad dog” isn’t going to build a wall.”
She was referring to Texas Congressman Michael McCaul, a known mass migration booster and a potential nominee for the head of the Department of Homeland Security. United States Marine Corps General James Matthis would be Trump’s first Secretary of Defense, who ended up turning out to be a Deep State hack. On the other hand, Kris Kobach is a nationally recognized immigration hawk, who gained fame for implementing some of the stiffest voter ID standards in the nation during his time as Secretary of State.
The Trump administration was successful in implementing several administrative changes that limited immigration and also did not get involved in any nation-building engagements like previous administrations.
Nevertheless, Coulter’s incisive suggestions still have use for future Republican administrations. The new GOP should follow Coulter’s pro-migration restriction suggestions if it wants to not only remain politically relevant, but also protect the integrity of America’s political system.
