California’s Planned Parenthood Loses Federal Funding!

Ultra-liberal California, America’s most populous state, has experienced nothing short of a miracle. This week, Planned Parenthood, the state’s largest abortion provider, lost all its federal funding.

The Monday night ruling, by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, translates to Planned Parenthood of California losing roughly $300 million per year. The loss greatly jeopardizes the organization’s ability to keep its doors open throughout the state. The only Planned Parenthood clinics that may continue to receive federal funds are those that do not provide abortions.

However, it must be noted; this is temporary restraining order put in place while a larger legal dispute plays out.

Planned Parenthood Federation of America sued the Trump Administration on behalf of its members earlier in July over provision in the Congressional Reconciliation Bill that prohibited federal Medicaid reimbursements for large nonprofit health clinics that provide abortions. The lawsuit argues that the law defunds Planned Parenthood’s services in violation of multiple constitutional amendments.

Planned Parenthood operates 114 clinics in California, serving more than one million patients each year.

In their lawsuit, Planned Parenthood argues that the funding ban enacted by Congress violates the organization’s First Amendment rights and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment by allowing smaller, independent abortion providers to continue receiving federal funds.

While Planned Parenthood is the state’s largest abortion provider, they argue that abortions make up a relatively small amount of the services they provide, less than 10 precent annually. The bulk of patient visits are for contraceptive care, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, cancer screenings and other primary care checkups.

However, despite their service figures, I would argue that if Planned Parenthood of California sees more than one million patients annually, that translates to over 100,000 babies murdered in the Golden State each year.

Given that in 2022, two-thirds of California voters approved adding abortion rights to their state constitution, I hope you will join me in praying this temporary ruling becomes permanent law!

And, a friendly word to those Christians who dislike Donald Trump: we are witnessing the most pro-life Presidential administration in American history.

To My Hilarious and Miraculous Son: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Thirty-one-years-ago today, a baby was born in an ambulance in San Jose, California.
Upon arriving at the hospital, it was quickly noted the premature boy was addicted to cocaine. The infant spent the next many weeks an incubator, unable to receive the love and care that most babies are given.
The little one’s mother was taken into police custody; eventually the child was discharged from the hospital into his grandparents’ care.
However, no one at the hospital realized the grandparents, albeit quite kind, were homeless.
Some months later, the little baby was discovered by police, living with his grandparents in a dilapidated, abandoned house. I’ve read the police report. Fortunately little Joshua was unharmed.
The child was immediately placed into a foster care facility. He was moved around the foster system through his fifth birthday.
Fast forward to early 2000. I was working for the CBS-TV station in San Francisco, and, among other things, hosted a weekly program called, “Brian’s Kids.” Each Wednesday, on the Five O’clock News, we would feature a youngster living in foster care who needed a permanent family. Interestingly, over the course of ten-years we witnessed over 400 of our kids getting adopted.
That’s how I met this skinny, little, almost six-year-old, named Joshua. He was featured on our TV program.
That evening, after our afternoon taping session with Josh, I told my wife about this “amazing little guy that I think we should adopt.” My son, Sam (12), was with me for the recording session and totally agreed.
Two of our children came to us through adoption, so my wife and I were familiar with the process and the challenges. Eventually, after a family meeting we decided to have Josh over to the house for a visit with his county social worker.
When he came to our door, his curly hair was combed and slicked down, and he was wearing the best set of slightly oversized hand-me-down clothes his social worker was able to find. Upon inviting him inside our home, my wife and I suddenly and simultaneously left the entryway in different directions overcome with emotion; she to our bedroom and me to a bathroom. We were both a basket of merciful tears.
Joshua officially became a member of our family shortly thereafter. Our daughter—now his sister—prayed with him to receive Jesus as his personal savior a month after Josh turned six. He’s never veered from that conviction.
Josh is happily married to Ladina. They presently live in NYC where Josh is honing his comedy credentials.
Happy birthday, son. You bring much joy (and hilarity) to our lives.

Tim Walz IS Stolen Valor – Latest Podcast

Tim Walz. He’s lied about his rank, his assignments, and, perhaps worst of all, he left the men he committed to lead go to war in Iraq without him.

In this vital episode you will hear from “Gitmo Jim,” who was a regular caller to Brian’s San Francisco radio program.

As a lead investigative officer at Guantánamo Bay, Jim was trained on how to get into a man’s psyche, and that’s just what he does with Tim Walz. The politician whose military career is being lauded by the Democrats is in fact a man who has lied about his rank and record, and even turned his back on 1000 soldiers when it came time to go to war in Iraq.

Brian reveals photos of Walz in clear violation of military protocol, as well as Walz’ Congressional commemorative coin that boasts a rank he was denied.

A Word to the Christians, Part Two

The following will appear in the September edition of the Buffalo Gap [Texas] News Roundup.

I recently posted an article on my website (briansussman.com) with an appeal to the Christians who despise Donald Trump and refuse to vote for him. Apparently, there are many. In fact, while addressing the Faith and Freedom Convention in June, Trump stated, “The evangelicals and the Christians, they don’t vote as much as they should. I don’t know if you know that. They go to church every Sunday, but they don’t vote.”

While I’m not sure what the exact percentage of Christians who foolishly do not exercise their right to vote may be, I do know there are many Christians who will not be voting for former President Trump because, quite frankly, they despise him.

Even more stupidly, a significant percentage of these people will instead vote for Kamala Harris.

Christians must be able to do two important things at the same time: condemn the sin and theological errors of those they admire while also acknowledging the valuable contributions those individuals might have made. We cannot be satisfied with simply doing one or the other. We must deal honestly with the sins and shortcomings of our American heroes. After all, we’re not voting for a pastor, we are voting for both the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces as well as the CEO of the largest enterprise in America.

Maybe it’s Trump’s personality, or his lifestyle, or maybe it’s the unrelenting propaganda campaign to smear him, leading some Christians to piously exclaim, “I could never vote for such a man!”

But allow me to ask that same person a few questions. Weren’t you pleased when Donald Trump proved himself to be the most pro-life President in history and actually became the first POTUS to speak at the annual March for Life in Washington, DC?

Were you not pleased when Trump boldly acknowledged that the capital of Israel is Jerusalem?

How about the fact that he had more Christians in key positions in his administration than any President before him? Did you know while in the White House he looked the President of Nigeria (a Muslim) in the eyes and asked him, “Why are you killing Christians?” Or did you even know that Christians are being martyred in that country daily?

“Yeah. But did you see the ad where Trump was selling Bibles. Disgusting.”

I did see that, and it was a bit weird. But thank God he wasn’t selling The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama. Or the Koran.

But back to the questions. Did you appreciate the way he began finally getting the U.S. out of the otherwise endless war in Afghanistan?  And did you notice how Biden totally screwed up the final withdrawal of our troops and ended up giving Bagram Air Base to the Taliban (and China and Iran), complete with equipment and arms worth billions of dollars?

In my opinion, Christians have a moral obligation to not just vote, but vote for Donald Trump. Sitting this one out is delusional. Kamala Harris’s platform is rooted in sin: abortion on demand (and if you read the fine print that includes infanticide), promotion of the LGTBQ++ agenda (which ruins lives and further breaks down the family), welfare for all (which is communism), and free healthcare for all (which will dismantle the health care system as we know it).

Additionally, the bad actors in this world—Putin, Xi, Un, and Khamenei—would have NO respect for a compromising career politician like Kamala. However, they will, and do, respect Donald J. Trump because they fear his unyielding determination to Make America Great Again.

Kamala: More Radical than AOC and The Squad

Having worked the bulk of my media career in San Francisco, I know a few (shocking) things about Kamala Harris. Don’t be fooled by her cackle. The phony laugh is meant to cover the contents of this woman’s character. She is way beyond liberal. She’s a radical cut from the cloth of her parents, both of whom immigrated to this country and settled in the most “progressive” city in America: Berkeley, California (across the Bay from SF). In fact, her brand of radicalism makes Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and her Squad look like a bunch of pikers.

In my Brian Sussman Show podcast (now available on Rumble) I detail Harris’s time as San Francisco District Attorney, California Attorney General, and her brief time in the US Senate. Let’s put it this way: she refused to properly punish a cop-killer, and she has never seen an illegal immigrant who she would consider illegal–even if that person took the life of a US citizen.

Begin with Episode 248 and continue from there.

By the way, I’m presenting these podcasts LIVE on Rumble, every Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 9AM Pacific.

Thanks for your prayers.
