These Fast Food Employees Probably Really Regret Denying Service to Veteran Police Officer

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two employees of a North Carolina fast food restaurant are likely regretting the decision to refuse service to a veteran police officer, because they’re both out of a job. . .

Roxboro Police Chief David Hess said that veteran police officer Kenneth Horton was allegedly denied service by a cashier at the restaurant. Horton is also a U.S. Army veteran.

The story began spreading in the community and eventually got to the management of the fast food chain.

The cashier and the manager of the store were fired from their jobs as a result.

Hess made it clear that the police had nothing to do with the firing of the employees. (Read more from “These Fast Food Employees Probably Really Regret Denying Service to Veteran Police Officer” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Chesa Boudin, the urine-and-feces-plagued city’s incoming district attorney, pledged during the campaign not to prosecute public urination and other quality-of-life crimes if he was elected. Boudin declared victory Saturday night after results showed him winning a plurality of votes in the DA race.

“We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes. Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted,” Boudin vowed in response to an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) questionnaire during the campaign. . .

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders cheered Boudin’s victory in the election. “Now is the moment to fundamentally transform our racist and broken criminal justice system by ending mass incarceration, the failed war on drugs and the criminalization of poverty,” the Vermont Sen. wrote on Twitter Saturday, congratulating Boudin on his “historic victory!”

Introducing Target’s ‘Gender Inclusive Gingerbread’ Christmas Sweater

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Over at Target, the world-famous Gingerbread Man has been given a makeover in the newly featured “Gender Inclusive Gingerbread” Christmas sweater, available now for the price of $29.99. Behold:

As the image shows, the new “Gender Inclusive Gingerbread” (fill in the blank) has no unique features distinguishing itself from the average Gingerbread Man, and yet, the Target online store literally bills it as the “Gender Inclusive Gingerbread Long Sleeve Sweater” with absolutely no accompanying description as to what classifies it as “gender-inclusive.” It’s as if the very utterance of Gingerbread Man (or even Gingerbread Woman) is in itself offensive. So what do we get? A sweatshirt with a character that looks exactly like the Gingerbread Man but is instead described as gender-inclusive.

Target is also not the only establishment catching wind of this new trend. According to Mirror, a coffee shop called The Tannery in Auckland, New Zealand, decided to put its own brand of gender-inclusive cookie by calling it the “gender-neutral person.” (Read more from “Introducing Target’s ‘Gender Inclusive Gingerbread’ Christmas Sweater” HERE)

Restaurant Owner Arrested for Keeping Mentally Handicapped ‘Slave’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice announced yet another criminal being sent to jail due to human trafficking and enslaving of another individual, this time in South Carolina. Bobby Paul Edward, 53, was sentenced last week to a decade in prison after being found guilty of forcing a mentally handicapped black man to work grueling hours for free under emotional and physical abuse.

“It is almost inconceivable that instances of forced labor endure in this country to this day – a century and a half after the Emancipation Proclamation,” Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division said in a press release. “The Department of Justice will continue to investigate, prosecute, and convict human traffickers involved in forced labor, seeking justice on behalf of their victims.”

“According to the defendant’s plea colloquy and admissions in court, between 2009 and 2014, the defendant used violence and other coercive means to compel the victim to work for more than 100 hours a week for no pay at a restaurant managed by the defendant in Conway, South Carolina,” a DOJ press release reads.

Edward used pots, pans, burning metal tongs, and more objects to beat and abuse the victim. He also hurled racial slurs and degrading language to psychologically enslave the victim and compel him to work for the establishment.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A graduation, 74 years in the making was held in Oklahoma Thursday for a 95-year-old veteran who fought in WWII instead of graduating high school.

Cpl. Shaw enlisted in the Marines in 1943. He fought in Tinian, Saipan and Iwo Jima. He was wounded fighting for his country.

“One come out with a phosphorus grenade got me across the backside,” he said. “And I didn’t want to tell anybody. A good Marine doesn’t get shot in the back.”

Cpl. Shaw said he’s lived a dull life after the war. He worked for a lumber company for 30 years then went into business with his son. All without his high school diploma. But Thursday, at 95 years old, he had his graduation ceremony.

Former Trans Man Who Had Gender Reassignment Surgery — and Then De-Transitioned — Offers Warning to Caitlyn Jenner and James Younger

/0 Comments/in , /by

In April 1983, after two years of hormone therapy, Walt Heyer underwent gender reassignment surgery and became a woman, Laura Jensen. . .

Now in an explosive interview with DailyMail.com, Heyer, 79, has told how he turned from a man convinced that transitioning was the answer; to one evangelical in his view that the notion of Gender Dysphoria as illness and gender re-assignment surgery as cure is, ‘one of the most widely perpetrated and most dangerous lies’ of our time.

According to Heyer, troubled people are being pushed towards transitioning when what they need is therapy to address underlying issues such as childhood abuse, transvestic disorder and a host of other problems. . .

For Heyer the case [of the Texas 7-year-old] is personal. He revealed, ‘His father got in touch with me last year when I was in Texas speaking at a conference and I had the opportunity to meet the boy and spend time with him.’

After doing so Heyer is adamant, ‘He had no idea about being gender dysphoric, but his mother has such a strong influence on him, and she keeps feeding him this idea that he was female. I believe he was fearful about going against his mom.

WATCH: High School Football Player Asks to Pray with Opponent Whose Mom Has Cancer

/0 Comments/in , /by

A high school football player forgot about his team’s rivalry when he went over and asked if he could pray with his opponent whose mom has cancer.

It all went down in Texas when Sherman High School student Gage Smith walked over to West Mesquite High School player Ty Jordan at the end of the game last Friday night and asked if the two could pray together for Jordan’s mom, Tiffany Jordan, per the “Today” Show in a piece published Wednesday.

Ty’s mom, age 42, has stage 4 lung and bone cancer.

“It was meant for just me and him to have a moment and to pray over his family and for his mom,” Smith shared. “I just wanted to let him know there are other people thinking about him and his family, and let him know he has somebody to turn to.”

“I would’ve done that whether we would’ve won or lost,” he added, after his team beat Ty’s team 56-27. “During the game we’re enemies and we’re gonna play and try to win the game, but you still have that respect for the other opponent. I wanted to do that for him.” (Read more from “Watch: High School Football Player Asks to Pray with Opponent Whose Mom Has Cancer” HERE)

7-Year-Old Whose Mother Tried to Force a Gender Transition CHOOSES to Attend School as a Boy

/0 Comments/in , /by

James Younger, the 7-year-old at the heart of the Texas transgender custody battle that incited a national debate, has decided to attend school as a boy under his given name. . .

The boy’s father, Jeffrey Younger, insists his ex-wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas, has been pressuring their son James to undergo a gender transition since the child was 3 years old. . .

Georgulas has asked for Judge Cooks to be recused from the case and maintains that James insisted upon the transition.

After Younger was first denied custody rights and the case began to spark public outcry, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered an investigation into the matter.

In addition to granting joint managing conservatorship, Judge Cooks also placed a gag order on Younger and Georgulas until both of their children reach age 18. (Read more from “7-Year-Old Whose Mother Tried to Force a Gender Transition Chooses to Attend School as a Boy” HERE)

Federal Judge Strikes down Trump Admin Rule Protecting Pro-Life Doctors

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal district judge in New York has ruled against a Trump administration rule meant to protect the conscience rights of health care workers.

In a 147-page decision issued on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer found the administration’s “conscience rule” unconstitutional because it uses the withholding of federal funds as an enforcement mechanism and ruled that the department of Health and Human Services acted “acted arbitrarily and capriciously” in promulgating it. The ruling also claims that the department was invoking powers that weren’t granted to it by Congress via federal law.

The measure was supposed to go into effect on November 22; however, Engelmayer — an Obama appointee — decided to vacate it “in its entirety.”

The Trump administration announced the rule back in May as an effort to protect the rights of people and institutions in the health care field who have moral objections to certain procedures like abortion, the provision of contraception, or “assisted suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing.”

“This rule ensures that healthcare entities and professionals won’t be bullied out of the health care field because they decline to participate in actions that violate their conscience, including the taking of human life,” reads a statement from OCR Director Roger Severino at the time of introduction. “Protecting conscience and religious freedom not only fosters greater diversity in healthcare, it’s the law.” (For more the author of “Federal Judge Strikes down Trump Admin Rule Protecting Pro-Life Doctors” please click HERE)

Transgender ‘Man’ Upset Women Won’t Date Her

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In an opinion piece for Vice.com, transgender [woman] Lee Hurley bewailed [her] plight in the dating arena, criticizing women for “ghosting” [her] once they find out that [she] is transgender (that is, a biological woman, too).

“Internet dating when I was a lesbian was infinitely easier than how it is now as a trans man,” Hurley lamented. “As a trans guy, the majority don’t seem to know what to make of me, so they run away.”

Perhaps the lack of success was due to the timing of the reveal? No, Hurley said [she] put that theory to the test and the results were clear.

“I’ve played around with the big reveal and I know the two are linked. It’s hard not to see a connection when you arrange a second date, drop the T bomb and then she cancels in the next breath,” he argued. “I’d be chatting with a woman, making her laugh and seemingly getting on well. Then I’d tell her and she’d vanish. Over and over and over. Before dates, during dates, after dates, it didn’t matter. The result was almost always the same.” . . .

So, in conclusion, women who won’t date a transgender man are “ignorant” and have a “limited view of how gender and sexuality works? Got it. (Read more from “Transgender ‘Man’ Upset Women Won’t Date Her” HERE)
