Marks & Spencer apologises over trans employee in bra department

‘Biological male’ caused a mother and teenage daughter ‘distress’ by approaching them in the lingerie area - Daniel Martin

Marks & Spencer has apologised to a mother for causing her teenage daughter “distress” after she was asked if she needed help by a transgender employee in its bra section.
The retailer said it was “truly sorry” after the mother complained that her 14-year-old daughter had felt uncomfortable when they were approached by a trans shop assistant in the lingerie area of the shop, where they were hoping to have a bra fitting...

In a complaint to M&S, she told the retailer: “Imagine her horror, then, when the person to approach us and ask if we needed help was a transgender ‘woman’, ie, a biological male.
“This is obviously the case: he is at least 6ft 2in tall... My daughter recoiled, so I politely declined the offer and we left immediately. She was visibly upset and said she felt ‘freaked out’.”...

MLK would be sad.

'I hate my party': Watch Dem C-SPAN callers torch elected Democrats * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Cohen, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

Democrat C-SPAN callers rebuked their own party on Monday during a segment about whether they were pleased with its trajectory. An AP-NORC poll published on Sunday found that 35% of Democrats used negative terms to describe their party, while just 23% used positive terms. On "Washington Journal," three out of four Democratic callers expressed pessimism about their party in one segment, each citing different reasons.

Welcome to the annual summit of the ‘Apocalypse Aficionados,’ where failed forecasts are just stepping stones to the next round of doom-slinging! - AhmadFaizVolvoKlasik 

Armed with crystal balls labeled ‘CO₂’ and a flair for dramatic declarations, our fearless prophets of climate doom serve up a buffet of catastrophes—from the vanishing Arctic to snowless winters and ‘unprecedented disasters’ that occur with suspicious regularity.

American Courage!-----The Inspiring Story of a Daring Escape from Behind Enemy Lines - American Thinker

It is dedicated to the American nurses and medics of the 807th Medical Air Evacuation Squadron (MAES), who crash-landed in German-occupied Albania on November 8, 1943.  - Janet Levy

• For two months, they fought to reach Allied lines. 

They succeeded, thanks to their perseverance and bravery, as well as the generosity of local Albanian citizens and communist partisans fighting the Germans.
My awe at discovering this fascinating aspect of World War II history led me to Albanian Escape: The True Story of U.S. Army Nurses Behind Enemy Lines, by Lt. Agnes Jensen Mangerich, one of the 13 nurse lieutenants on board the C-53 transport plane. 

The plane also carried 12 sergeants (all paramedics), four flying crew members, and a corporal hitching a ride...
It’s truly a remarkable story. 

The preface states that, as men and women in uniform, all the crash survivors volunteered for danger. 

Combat wasn’t expected of the nurses, but as flight nurses, they knew they could easily crash or be shot down behind enemy lines. 

• Still, they answered the call of duty and lived by Queen Esther’s words: “I go, and if I perish, I perish.”

Where democrats rule!-----More Fiscal Insanity from Chicago | International Liberty

What’s America’s worst city? - Dan Mitchell
But what if we look at major cities? 

Possible contestants include San Francisco, Detroit, New York City, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Seattle.
I’m not sure which city is the worst of the worst, but I have speculated before that Chicago has America’s worst mayor.
And Brandon Johnson is located in a horribly misgoverned state that arguably has America’s worst governor.
As such, I wasn’t too surprised to see this tweet with some profoundly insane data.

• What’s astounding is that politicians expanded unfunded pension liabilities even though the city’s finances are a catastrophe.

WATCH: Pam Bondi launches grand jury probe of 'Russiagate' instigators, charges could be coming * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

It was a conspiracy theory launched by Hillary Clinton's campaign, and apparently aided by Barack Obama and his minions, including the CIA and FBI, that somehow Trump's 2016 campaign was colluding with Russia on the election outcome, when no such evidence existed. It was started, apparently, because Clinton wanted to distract voters who may have concerns about her own scandal, that of putting national secrets on an unsecured and private computer server in her home.

Strange!
