Campus food service worker hit with bias complaint after saying ‘hello’ to student in Japanese | The College Fix

• U. of Minnesota student complained of ‘microaggressions’ and ‘implicit bias’

"During the fall 2018 semester at the University of Minnesota, an Asian-American student stopped by one of the restaurants in the Coffman Memorial Union to pick up a snack. 

At the register, a food service worker said something the student didn’t understand. 

When the student said they didn’t get it, the woman at the register said she was saying “hello” in Japanese, and asked where the student was from. 

“Wisconsin,” the student replied. 

The cashier laughed and told the student to have a nice day, but the student did not find much humor in the experience. 

The student reported the cashier to the campus Bias Response and Referral Network, claiming “these type of microaggressions occur too often on campus” and “this implicit bias needs to be addressed.”..."

'Dark day': Illinois governor signs abortion bill far worse than New York's

'Dark day': Illinois governor signs abortion bill far worse than New York's:

But Illinois’ legislation is inherently worse. According to a previous report by Live Action News’ Cassy Fiano-Chesser, the two bills introduced by Illinois lawmakers would “make the state’s abortion laws even more extreme than New York’s”:
HB 2495 and would virtually eliminate all protections for preborn children, allow infanticide, remove conscience protection laws for health care workers, allow taxpayer funding for abortion, and more. HB 2467 would repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995, making it so that minors can obtain abortions without parental notification. The bills are so extreme that thousands of citizens flooded the Illinois state capitol building in protest….
The bill also repeals the state’s ban on partial-birth abortion. One nurse, after witnessing a D&X partial-birth abortion in the 1990’s, said:

China Is Harvesting Organs From Detainees, Tribunal Concludes - Slashdot
"An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian:
An independent tribunal sitting in London has concluded that the killing of detainees in China for organ transplants is continuing, and victims include imprisoned followers of the Falun Gong movement. The China Tribunal, chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, who was a prosecutor at the international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, said in a unanimous determination at the end of its hearings it was "certain that Falun Gong as a source -- probably the principal source -- of organs for forced organ harvesting." 

Among those killed, it has been alleged, are members of religious minorities such as Falun Gong..."Read all!

We Must Reject LGBTQ Craziness Becoming America's Accepted Norm

We Must Reject LGBTQ Craziness Becoming America's Accepted Norm
"Turning around in Walmart, I saw a large exhibit of Listerine mouthwash.
The exhibit was covered in rainbows stating that it was in celebration of LGBTQ (and other alphabets that I can't remember) pride.
The wording on the exhibit preached to us about love, respect and anti-bigotry.
Why is Johnson & Johnson which owns Listerine making a big deal about portraying perverted lifestyles engaged in by less than 3% of the population as something beautiful and crucially important?
My wife Mary showed me a photo on Facebook of a Philadelphia politician with his male sex partner. The politician's male sex partner had a full beard with his face painted in gaudy feminine makeup wearing a dress.
When did things get so crazy in America that admitting being repulsed by the obviously perverted photo would get one branded a bigot, publicly shamed and severely punished?
...Dr. Cretella shared a horrific story:
In a California kindergarten class, the teacher read to her students two transgender indoctrination stories for kids. 
After the teacher finished reading these stories, little Joey went to the restroom and returned to class wearing a dress.
The teacher said: “Boys and girls, Joey is really a girl just like Jazz in our story.
From now on we need to call her Josephine.”
This was Joey's parents' and the teacher's way to introduce Joey's transformation to his fellow kindergartners.
Joey's classmates were extremely confused. 
One little girl was terrified.
At home, after bathing in the tub, the girl's mom wrapped her in a towel.
Passing a mirror, the girl noticed that her hair was slicked back.
Panicked, she burst into tears.
“Mommy, am I turning into a boy? I don't wanna turn into a boy! Joey turned into a girl. Am I gonna turn into a boy?”..."

Q&A: What happens if state shuts down Line 5 oil pipeline

Q&A: What happens if state shuts down Line 5 oil pipeline

"A permanent shutdown of Enbridge Energy Co.'s Line 5 oil pipeline could have a major downstream impact on trade with Canada, energy supplies for multiple states and the price of jet fuel for airplanes at Detroit Metro Airport and residential propane in the Lower Peninsula.

(democrat) Attorney General Dana Nessel has indicated she may go to court as soon as the end of this month to try to stop the flow of oil through Enbridge's 66-year-old underwater pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac.
...Here are five questions and answers about Line 5 and the potential impact of permanently shutting down the pipeline...

WATCH: Students Slam Trump's 'Pretty Racist' Quotes, Then Learn They're From Biden | Daily Wire
"In a new man-on-the-street video, Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips asks a few pro-Joe Biden college students to guess which presidential candidate — Donald Trump or Biden — was the source of some racially charged quotes, all of which were infamously stated by Biden.
Phillips finds that even though some of the lines have been widely reported, the students all guess Trump for each quote. 
When they are informed that in fact Biden said all of the "pretty racist" comments, the students express genuine surprise and say the revelation will likely impact their support for the former vice president..."

Blood And Gore: Making A Killing On Anti-Carbon Investment Hype
"...Of course this carbon regulation is posited upon saving the Earth based upon a “consensus within the scientific community that increasing the global temperature by more than 2oC will likely cause devastating and irreversible damage to the planet.” 
...And where it comes to promulgating and capitalizing upon carbon-climate-crazed sociopolitical pressure, you would be hard-pressed to find two better authorities. 
Gore and Blood, the former chief of Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM), co-founded London-based GIM in 2004. 
...Then there’s the matter of that estimated $70 million net he received for his 20 percent stake in the January sale of the Current TV network, to the Qatari-owned al -Jazeera Satellite Network. 
Given that Al Gore is so green and all, it struck many people that buying into the Big Oil-drenched deal might be somewhat hypocritical for someone who for years has inveighed against dreaded fossil-fueled global warming. 
Yup, this is the very same Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. who said, regarding the proposed Keystone XL pipeline: “there is no such thing as ethical oil”, there’s “only dirty oil and dirtier oil”.
Daily Show television host Jon Stewart once questioned, “Can mogul Al Gore coexist with activist Al Gore?” 
And perhaps another question which was highlighted on the screen at the conclusion of his 2006 An Inconvenient Truth science fiction movie is warranted as well.
Mr. Gore, “Are you ready to change the way you live?”"

Why Trump critics ought to spend more time in Sunday School - Washington Times:

The service was already underway when the president arrived. The pastor, Rev. David Platt, invited him to the platform. Rev. Platt placed his hand on the president’s back and with their eyes closed and heads bowed, Rev. Platt addressed God: “We know we need your mercy. We need your grace. We need your help. We need your wisdom in our country. And so, we stand right now on behalf of our president and we pray for your grace, and your mercy, and your wisdom upon him.”

Woke apocalypse: the Oberlin College suit
"If there is one thing you learn about at Oberlin, the notoriously progressive liberal-arts college, it is surely privilege: white privilege, hetero privilege, gender privilege — you name it.
Now, an Ohio jury has identified an entirely new variety — Woke Privilege — and resolved to hold accountable people who believe they are protected by it.
The jury handed down a staggering $11 million verdict against Oberlin for a smear campaign against a local business and awarded another $33 million in punitive damages to the targeted mom-and-pop store, Gibson’s Food Market and Bakery.
...Its dean of students, Meredith Raimondo, formerly the special assistant to the president for diversity, equity and inclusion (of course), joined the protesters with a bullhorn. 
She helped distribute flyers condemning Gibson’s and calling for a boycott: “This is a RACIST establishment with a LONG ACCOUNT of RACIAL PROFILING and DISCRIMINATION.”
Students made copies of the ­defamatory flyers in the music conservancy offices, where the school bought them pizza and beverages, and got credit for participating in the demonstrations.
The school ended its long-time business with Gibson’s, and for good measure, the head of Oberlin’s Department of Africana Studies commented on Facebook: “Their food is rotten, and they profile black students.”
Ho-hum, you might say, just another reputation casually and arbitrarily destroyed in 21st-century America. 
But Gibson’s refused to accept the blow to its standing and bottom line and sued..."

How Open Borders and Sanctuary Policies Victimize (and Kill) Americans | The Heritage Foundation:

The supporters of open borders and sanctuary policies that obstruct enforcement of our immigration laws must be overjoyed by the latest report from the Department of Homeland Security.
The Border Patrol intercepted more than 144,000 illegal aliens at the southwest border in May, the largest monthly total in more than a dozen years.
Those who push these policies should be ashamed of themselves.

There is something all of these have in common--Michael Smith-- Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith
"Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop is being sued for the third time - but before Jack Phillips was introduced to his own personal version of hell there was Sweet Cakes by Melissa v. Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, Ingersoll v. Arlene’s Flowers and way back in 2012, there was Willock v. Elane Photography, LLC.
There is something all of these have in common an it isn’t the denial of a service to a same-sex couple.
Digging deeper into one of the first instances of challenges of this particular type, Willock v. Elane Photography, LLC, one finds something that never really came to the attention of the public but was revealed in the final order of the New Mexico Human Rights Commission – and a theme running through each subsequent case.
The fact of the matter is that while the respondent, Elane Photography was clear that they did not prefer to photograph gay weddings, the complainant’s (Vanessa Willock) partner, Misti Collinsworth (aka Misty Pascottini) proceeded to attempt to secure the services of Elane Photography even after it was made clearly known that they were not interested in the business. 
Collinsworth did so under the name of Misty Pascottini without identifying that it would be a same-sex ceremony, apparently with the intent to deceive Elane Photography.
Ms. Willock and Ms. Collinsworth (Pascottini) filed a “public access” discrimination complaint AFTER securing another photographer who successfully photographed the ceremony – and for substantially less than the amount quoted by Elane Photography.
...In all the other cases, there were alternative businesses willing and ready to perform the same services and yet the plaintiffs in each case continued to push the issue rather than select another of perhaps hundreds of choices of equal value.
Elane Photography and its owners, Jonathan and Elaine Huguenin, were targets of two apparently radical lesbians who engaged in activities designed to set up a specific situation.
In each of these cases, the plaintiffs were intent on forcing their views on others, not the other way around..."

Feds gone wild: DOJ's stunning inability to prosecute its own bad actors | TheHill:

One was caught red-handed engaged in nepotism. Another, a lawyer no less, admitted to shoplifting at a Marine barracks store. A third leaked sealed court information to the news media. And a fourth engaged in fraud by turning a government garage into a personal repair shop.
Four cases, all solved in the past month, with suspects who cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and significant breaches of public trust.
But these weren’t your everyday perps.
All were U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) employees who are supposed to catch other criminals while working for the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and U.S. attorneys’ offices. Instead, they broke the law or violated the rules. And all managed to escape prosecution, despite their proven transgressions.

Death recorded live | Power Line

"Janet Shagam--Love the opening line! - "I missed the notice a few days ago that publisher Houghton-Mifflin is delaying publication of Naomi Wolf’s latest book, Outrages, for the simple reason that it has been exposed as an embarrassing piece of crap."

Hah! 

And this is a great question - " I began to wonder why we give some people, and only some, the platform, and burden, to theorize about everything. . ."

DEATH RECORDED LIVE

"I’d lost track of Naomi Wolf, the former political adviser who was reportedly well paid for helping Al Gore coordinate his wardrobe in the 2000 presidential campaign. 
Wolf appeared on BBC Radio 3 for an interview with Matthew Sweet to promote her new book, Outrages: Sex, Censorship and the Criminalization of Love. 
BBC Radio has posted the entire 54-minute Arts & Ideas episode here.

Historian and Spectator USA Life & Arts editor Dominic Green highlights what happened in the course of the interview in his column “False history from Naomi Wolf and Marc Lamont Hill.” 

This is how he presents that moment when Wolf was confronted with the proposition that her book got it exactly wrong on a basic point that she simply failed to ascertain and understand:

Did the Victorians execute dozens of men for sodomy?…[O]ld people across Britain choked on their cocoa as Wolf plugged her book Outrages on BBC Radio. Wolf, having visited the archives of the Old Bailey, London’s chief court, claims to have discovered “several dozen executions” of gay men in Victorian Britain, and has written a book about how awful the Victorians were.

The truth, host and historian Matthew Sweet explained to Wolf in an excruciating interview, is the opposite. The verdict “Death recorded,” which Wolf takes as proof of execution, was created in 1823 to allow judges to abstain pronouncing a death sentence. Worse, one of the men that Wolf describes as an “executed” victim of Victorian homophobia was prosecuted, and not executed, for raping a child.

Wolf seemed to take it in stride. She responded: “Well, that’s a really interesting thing to investigate.” Hey, I thought it was so interesting that you did investigate it. Green links to the tweet below..."
