ERICKSON: The New Bigotry | Daily Wire
ERICKSON: The New Bigotry | Daily Wire:
You will probably not have heard of Russell Berger. He is a orthodox believing Christian, pastor, and, until last week, was the Chief Knowledge Officer of CrossFit. A local CrossFit gym (they call them boxes) did not want to have a gay pride event and gay rights activists subsequently began harassing the owner of the gym. Berger, on his personal Twitter feed, tweeted, "As someone who personally believes celebrating 'pride' is a sin, I'd like to personally encourage #CrossFitInfiltrate for standing by their convictions and refusing to host an @indypride workout."
Always trust government!-----New York City housing authority lied about squalid conditions for years, feds say
New York City housing authority lied about squalid conditions for years, feds say
"Managers at New York City's Housing Authority lied for years about lead poisoning at the nation's largest public housing agency and used a "magic carpenter" and other elaborate ruses to fool federal inspectors, federal prosecutors charged Monday.
...The complaint was made public after the city and the authority signed a consent decree that will require the city to set aside $2.2 billion over the next 10 years to make the much-needed fixes.
Berman accused the housing authority of underreporting the number of children who have probably been poisoned by lead from peeling paint — and neglecting the 400,000 low- and middle-income people who live in the rotting buildings..."

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED:
Why is the media desperate to make out Ambassador Richard Grenell is a full-blown fascist?
Indeed it was — and still is. ---Posted by Ed Driscoll
QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED:
"From all of which one might have the impression that Grenell had backed Hungary’s Jobbik or Greece’s Golden Dawn. In fact the political leader in Europe that Grenell expressed himself a ‘fan’ of was Sebastian Kurz, the young Chancellor of Austria, and a man of the political conservative mainstream. Yet such is the level of ignorance and presumption about politics across the continent that various publications seized on this as yet more evidence of Grenell’s extremism. For the Austrian Chancellor is in a coalition with that country’s ‘Freedom Party’ which is frequently described as ‘far-right’. And therefore to meet with Kurz is to meet with someone who meets with the wrong people. Meaning that any meeting with him is itself suspect....As Jonah Goldberg wrote in 2014, “This is a very old story:”
Joseph Stalin championed the idea that all of his political opponents should be dubbed fascists, including many of his fellow Bolsheviks, such as Leon Trotsky (whom Stalin had assassinated), and much of the Red Army’s officer corps (whom he had executed), and countless Ukrainians (whom he had liquidated). Stalin insisted that even mentioning the man-made – i.e., Stalin-made — Ukranian famine was evidence you were an agent of the Nazis..."MUCH HERE. READ ALL!

How they "think"-----How Houston Lost Its Mind Over a Trump Shirt – Texas Monthly
How Houston Lost Its Mind Over a Trump Shirt – Texas Monthly
"It’s hard to imagine a safer space in Houston than West University Place.
Its unofficial motto is “The Neighborhood City,” and on a sweet spring night that was blessedly cool and clear, with mature live oaks spreading their protective branches over the tidy streets and the azaleas blooming in a riot of coral, fuchsia, and the whitest white, that’s what it seemed to be: a cozy, friendly oasis in the middle of a big, complicated metropolis.
A place where four girls just entering their teens could head out for ice cream and cookies, unaccompanied, to a spot called Tiny’s Milk & Cookies.
It was March 31, 2018, the Saturday before Easter.
They were coming from a church group meeting.
"It’s hard to imagine a safer space in Houston than West University Place.
A place where four girls just entering their teens could head out for ice cream and cookies, unaccompanied, to a spot called Tiny’s Milk & Cookies.
It was March 31, 2018, the Saturday before Easter.
They were coming from a church group meeting.
So there they were, four girls around the age of fourteen, with long, shiny hair and braces on their teeth.
They were chatting and giggling as they took their places in line at Milk & Cookies, which is basically a take-out window for a restaurant called Tiny’s No. 5, which itself is pleasantly appointed with assiduously tended gardens of Texas wildflowers and other natives.
...There’s often a line at Milk & Cookies because its chocolate chip cookies are considered some of the best in town, even if they cost $2.50 each.
...It took a few seconds for the girls to recognize the commotion behind them and then to realize it was directed their way.
A woman in line, a few spaces back, seemed to be in some sort of state.
She was tall and thin, and her hair was cut short.
She was with a man and two little boys.
“Grab ’em by the pussy!” the woman declared, staring straight at the girls while using that very bad word.
She had a fist up in the air.
“Woohoo!” she added, along with what sounded like the start of a crazy chant: “Maga!!”
At first, the girls had no idea why this woman was acting so weird, as if she were mad at them or something.
What had they done?
They couldn’t think of a thing.
That is, until one of the girls pointed to the T-shirt another was wearing.
The former was on her phone at the time, talking to her mom about what was going on.
“It’s your shirt!” she said, interrupting her own conversation.
They all stopped and looked.
The offending garment was a souvenir from a trip to Washington, D.C. Across the front, in big, bold letters, was a word that may be the most divisive in America right now: TRUMP..."

The FBI's fractured fairytale | TheHill
The FBI's fractured fairytale | TheHill
"Once upon a time, the FBI said some thugs planned to rob a bank in town. Thugs are always looking to rob banks.
They try all the time.
But at this particular time, the FBI was hyper-focused on potential bank robberies in this particular town.
The best way to prevent the robbery — which is the goal, after all — would be for the FBI to alert all the banks in town.
“Be on high alert for suspicious activity,” the FBI could tell the banks.
“Report anything suspicious to us.
We don’t want you to get robbed.”
Instead, in this fractured fairytale, the FBI followed an oddly less effective, more time-consuming, costlier approach.
It focused on just one bank.
And, strangely, it picked the bank that was least likely to be robbed because nobody thought it would ever get elected president — excuse me, I mean, because it had almost no cash on hand. (Why would robbers want to rob the bank with no cash?)
Stranger still, this specially-selected bank the FBI wanted to protect above all others happened to be owned by a man who was hated inside and outside the FBI..."
