Maybe you don't follow baseball, but there is a big controversy now because it was "Pride Night" in San Francisco the other night, the SF Giants' players were supposed to wear caps where the "SF" logo (normally in orange) was instead in rainbow colors, and several of the pitchers wrote Biblical verses on their hats next to the rainbow "SF."

Predictably, the SF crowd is apoplectic, labeling these players "bigots" and "homophobes."

Query: when your employer forces you to wear imagery that is abhorrent to your deeply-held, long-established religious beliefs, who is the "bigot"?

(And don't tell me "Well then they shouldn't be in MLB," because you are saying you must abandon your religion to work.)

It's the complaining LGBTQ+ crowd who are the "bigots" in this case.

Having Hillary Clinton talk about the lives of "real people" is about as authentic as a Chuck Schumer lesson on backyard grilling. Despite 83% of Americans favoring voter ID, Hillary declared, "most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have" such IDs...

Major alcohol study just released (after unexplained delay from HHS):

Even 1 drink per day linked to higher risks of serious illness & premature death - including liver cirrhosis, certain cancers, and injuries. No net health benefits found at any level.

This taxpayer-funded review adds to evidence that alcohol harms start low. It’s sparking fresh questions about past U.S. dietary guidelines and potential industry influence.

Key takeaway: Less is better for long-term health! https://t.co/Xq1Q5BV2u3

Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.

George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.

Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.

And we all know why.

During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.

They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.

And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.

This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.

This needs to stop.

...Jill Biden insists that the pardon was necessary because “When Trump was elected, we knew that he would target Hunter.” Just one problem: It was her husband’s Justice Department, and two different panels of jurors, who convicted Hunter. All that remained was sentencing...

Looks like this cartoon is making the rounds again

Need I remind everyone:
1) Tests in school are not arbitrary like climbing a tree. They measure whether kids can read or do math, both very important, universal skills
2) Different people are not akin to different species

@RoKhanna There are people in congress who are black and republican you know?

Your whole “moral battleground” talk is just you trying to seem moral and virtuous to people, when in reality you’re just fighting for democrat political power.

Except for the fact that you’re lying Rachel. He was being denied entry into a committee meeting of SENATORS. Justin isn’t even a Senator. He’s a House Rep. He has no right to be in that meeting. He’s also not being stripped of office since he’s a state rep not a US Congressman. Oh and he’s not even close to the only Black state rep. It’s honestly impressive how many things you got wrong and how you refuse to correct it. Oh and that redrawn seat? Held by a white Democrat for over a decade. The favorite to win it now is a Black republican woman. 😂

Ok… most of you know I was in the organic baby formula business, but what you don’t know is I dabbled in diapers as well.

I also know this baby2baby “non profit” and have had past interactions with them.. I’ll leave that out for now..

Let’s dive into this absolute grifting nonsense. Prepare to be shocked.

California is about to spend $20 million of taxpayer money to give 100,000 newborns 400 diapers each through Baby2Baby.

Do the math with me:
100,000 babies × 400 diapers = 40 million diapers

$20,000,000 ÷ 40,000,000 = $0.50 per diaper!!!!!

Now walk into any Costco in California and you can buy the same quality diapers for .12 to .15 cents each!

That’s $48 to $60 for 400 diapers.
So the state is paying 8–10x more per diaper than a regular family buying in bulk.

They could’ve just handed every low-income new mom $100 cash and told her to go to Costco. She’d get more diapers, better ones if she wanted, and still have money left for formula, wipes, or whatever the hell she actually needs.

But nah… that wouldn’t let Gavin and his connected “nonprofit” girls running the show there cut ribbons, take photos, do galas and be friends with celebrities and brag about the “first-in-the-nation” program while skimming their cut for “administration” and “partnerships.”

This is peak government stupidity!!!

Spend way more money to feel good and look good, instead of just trusting parents with their own damn money.
We’re not helping babies. We’re funding another bloated nonprofit-government grift.

Math doesn’t lie. The diaper math is brutal.

What a scam and a joke!!!!!

🇺🇸💰 Ever wonder why European cities accepted so many refugees?

Today, I'm over my jet lag and processing the documents I scanned this week. Already it's pretty shocking.

The refugee influx into Europe began as a U.S. taxpayer-funded subsidy. The U.S. government literally paid European cities to take them in, using Soros-backed operations like ARC (American Refugee Committee) as the middlemen.

Yes, ARC, co-founded with money from the Soros Humanitarian Fund, was running programs directly for the U.S. government.

It goes even deeper and darker than that. Stay tuned.

I am challenging any death penalty opponent — there are millions of them, allegedly — to step up to the plate right now and explain why this guy should not be executed. His guilt is established beyond any doubt whatsoever. His crime is utterly savage and heinous. Tell us why he doesn’t deserve to die. Go ahead.

2009. Chuck Schumer gives one of the strongest speeches against illegal immigration ever given by a politician, from either side of the aisle.

This speech is mind-blowing. Hearing Schumer now insult ICE and Border Patrol and advocate for illegal immigrants, it's hard to believe that this video is real but it is.

Virtually every word of his 30 minute speech was about the need to curb illegal immigration. Schumer hit on everything from border security to biometric verification systems.

Schumer was not alone back then. Obama, Biden, and Hillary all took similar stances against illegal immigration during their campaigns for the 2008 Presidential election.

The Democrat party has moved so far left on immigration that by 2021, a Democrat President had effectively opened the border and ended deportations. The party just keeps moving further left on immigration. Democrat politicians now regularly incite violence against ICE by calling them nazis and gestapo.

Justice Alito fires back at Justice Jackson, calling her solo dissent "baseless and insulting" and "utterly irresponsible" after she accused the majority of abandoning principle for power.

If a Republican House & a Republican Senate can’t pass legislation that 84% of Americans want,

then what are we doing?

[FreeThinker @wla1103]

I’ll admit it.

I believed Dems fought to abolish slavery, fought for Voting / Women’s / Civil Rights acts up until I was 30 yrs old. I thought Republicans gave us Jim Crowe and KKK.

When I discovered it was the exact OPPOSITE, I was floored.

What I “knew for sure” was something not in history books but propaganda. From that day on I questioned everything.

We are a sponge taking in every subversive tactic. Being smart doesn’t make you immune.

Challenge your paradigms, you will be surprised at some point.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just called the Supreme Court "illegitimate." That follows Democratic politicians and pundits calling for the packing of the Supreme Court. Nothing says Happy 250th Anniversary like tearing down the core institutions of the Republic.

...These students took a public stand against free speech and actively sought to prevent others from hearing opposing views. However, they do not want to experience any consequences themselves while denying the rights of others.
