The left LOVES renaming and redefining things.
Changing Lake Ontario to “Lake America” is stupid. I agree.
But I don’t want to hear a peep about the sacred importance of keeping names and language unchanged from people who have spent years participating in:
• “Latinx” replacing Latino/Latina
• “Pregnant people” and “birthing people” replacing pregnant women and mothers
• “Chestfeeding” instead of breastfeeding
• “Menstruators” and “people who menstruate” instead of women
• “Trans women are women”
• She/them/their/ze/zir/they and the endless expansion of pronouns
• “Unhoused” instead of homeless
• “Undocumented person” instead of illegal immigrant
• “Justice-involved person” instead of offender
• “Incarcerated person” instead of prisoner/inmate
• “Sex worker” instead of prostitute
• Redefining “equity” as something fundamentally different from equality
• “Equity-deserving groups” and “equity-seeking groups”
• “Racialized” instead of racial minority/non-white
• “Global majority” instead of minority
• “Person with a uterus”
• “Primary bedroom” instead of master bedroom
• “Blocklist/allowlist” instead of blacklist/whitelist
• Renaming schools, streets, buildings, awards and sports teams
• Changing geographic names deemed colonial or offensive
• Changing public signage because the existing language is deemed outdated, offensive or insufficiently inclusive
• Knocking down, removing or relocating historical statues and monuments
• Changing street signs and place names because contemporary politics no longer approves of the person or history they represent
You don’t get to spend a decade arguing that language, definitions, monuments, signage and historical names must change with the politics of the day — and then suddenly discover the sacred importance of preserving historical names when someone you don’t like picks up the Sharpie.
Either renaming things for political and ideological reasons is stupid, or it isn’t.
Pick a principle ✌️
🚨 Sec. RFK Jr. just exposed the truth and it's SO RIDICULOUS that the audience started LAUGHING.
"Thousands of hospices in California, they didn't have patients, they were billing us — the way we found them is because the patients WOULD NEVER DIE."
"And so we can see we've been paying for this guy for 5 YEARS!"
"And usually if you go to all hospices, you've got three months left to live, these people were never dying!"
"They just had the patient numbers and we were being charged $6,000 a month and just paying and I think 8,000 of them of these hospices who were taking about tens of BILLIONS of dollars stolen every year."
And Gavin Newsom didn't help at all.
DESTROY ALL FRAUD!
In her latest sciolistic letter to me, @SenWarren made it clear that she knows even less about foreign exchange markets than she does about banking.
What is equally shocking, but not surprising: not a single member of the media mob has a rudimentary-enough level of financial market literacy to spot her remedial error.
To reiterate: under @POTUS, the United States delivers for America’s trusted partners.
For a fuller explanation, I recommend Senator Warren take any entry level course in international finance for her and her staff, or I can personally give her a tutorial on Foreign Exchange for Dummies. Although I am not holding my breath, I hope her next letter will demonstrate that she has learned the difference between a currency purchase and a swap or a loan.
@harryjsisson If you're crying about "Lake America" but didn’t complain when they renamed historic Dundas street to "Sankofa Square" or Ryerson college to
"Toronto Metropolitan University" spare me.
@StephenKing Hey Stephen, you should ask Canada about all their name changes for changing the name of a historic college in Toronto and what about a historic street that used to be called Dundas and also was renamed. Curious why that’s OK
I will refer to it as LAKE AMERICA
Until John A. McDonald Statues all come back -- and we completely quit doing land acknowledgments
Until then it's Lake America
Facts matter, for Shapiro there was one BIG problem, once people started digging into the story (media should’ve been doing) the spin from Team Shapiro suddenly turned into a massive scandal. Turns out, Shapiro was caught lying to create a “measles scare” to influence midterms.
