"US top court allows Trump transgender ban"

The fact that it's been three fucking days and the City of Akron still hasn't plowed my street.

I called to ask about it, and the woman on the phone said she can't give me an ETA, because they don't have access to the drivers.  She just inputs requests to them.  Data entry.

So basically, she's doing what a web form could do.

Just allow us to tax you more so we can have funds to pay for the snow removal!

My understanding is that they're plowing in order of trash pick-up, which is really great for me since ours is on Friday. 😑

Well, hey, it was a weekend, and then it was MLK day, and then it was cold …

You mean The Grand Wizard.

Mine was yesterday, except for the holiday, so mine was today.

And yet ... here we are.

Yeah, it's funny how fast they got to a street that is literally a block over on Sunday, but oh, they just can't be bothered now.

Have you been standing on your porch wearing a MAGA hat?

I was thinking about this Indian dude situation a little more..... there are political agitators all over DC every day.  These people do this stuff all day all over that town and you never hear about it.  The black guys that spent over an hour calling these HS kids all kinds of things didnt get blown up into a story.  Some of the video footage of this is raw.

 

It was a story because of the hat.  that is all.  Its not about an indian guy and a bunch of white kids.  Its about a hat.  that is all

By the way it is a 3-for-1 bonanza for the left-wing, secular media:  they get to bash whites, MAGA hat wearers (racists), and Catholics.  A lot of shivers down the legs.

The guy with the drum is a Vietnam war veteran.

So Indian guy isnt a vet?

He was in the military, but joined after Vietnam occupation ended and was never deployed. He tried to use the term Vietnam era at some times, but he’s essentially just a lying activist.

The media is so desperate to tie everything to trump and shame people for supporting him, that they couldn't even vet Phillips.  They gave him a media tour, before they realized he wasn't even a Vietnam vet.  Shout out to the guy being a piece of shit and not once correcting the media btw.  Phillips served the marines for 4 years and went AWOL 3 times.  He was discharged as a private. He and his group the following day (from the cav cath incident) allegedly tried to disrupt a catholic mass at the basilica national shrine, by trying to enter the basilica and bang his drum.  The dude is a complete wack job activist and the media should be completely embarrassed (among many other reasons) they gave him the him a platform and not once legitimately questioned him or try to vet him.  Special shout out to gblock falling for it.  I am not surprised.

Also, I am not sure if this was mentioned, but instead of admitting they are wrong after watching video evidence, the media double downed by posting a pic from 2012 (these kids weren't even in HS at this time) of a Cov Cath bball game where kids painted themselves in all black for a blackout game.  They tried to tie the kids to a racist past (again, this was from 2012), because they were in black face.  Anyone who has follows sports knows how fucking stupid that claim is.

I read this in the voice of Ron Howard, a la Arrested Development.

I saw yet something else saying they harassed a young woman the same day as the incident with Philips.

Look, the kid looked smug, and I don't know that their thoughts and intentions were nearly as pure as they claimed, but outlets are going WAY too hard to smear a bunch of kids who aren't even adults yet.  I'm not saying you dismiss anything if it's wrong, but let's try to remember why we don't view kids under 18 as adults.

One of the more sickening displays by the media and the left; they literally have no shame.  I cannot imagine how they can be trusted to ever again report anything objectively.  They have simply destroyed their profession.

Lol even up until last night the rep from Minnesota, Iihan Omar who is already sketch, was posting fake news that the boys were yelling rape is ok and demeaning the black hebrews (who were the fuck tards instigating the whole thing). So not only is the media complicit, but sitting members of the left, after video evidence, continue to blatantly lie.
