    ^Jaysus.

    That’s why I hate the term “African American.” Makes it sound as though Black Americans are only half American.

    The Republican Party and McConnell seem to have an agenda that does not include voting rights or doing good for common Americans. I wonder what that might be......

    I'm sure he and his ilk believe exactly that

    I'm sure the gun toting redneck retards will chip in for any fine. So hopefully they will jail the fucking harpy.

    Police in Virginia said a woman has been charged after she claimed at a school board meeting she would show up with loaded guns if her children were required to wear masks at school.

    In the post on the department's Facebook page, authorities said Amelia King, 42 of Luray, was charged with making an oral threat while on school property Friday afternoon.
    A magistrate judge released her on a $5,000 unsecured bond.
    The board had been debating Covid-19 mitigation measures as the Omicron wave continues to cause significant community transmission, and in light of one of new Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin's executive orders.

    On January 15, his first day in office, Youngkin issued an executive order saying parents could decide whether their children had to wear face masks in school.
    During the public comment section of the meeting, a response from one of the four Page County residents who spoke turned confrontational.

    "My children will not come to school on Monday with a mask on," King told the Board. "Alright? That's not happening. And I will bring every single gun loaded and ready to... I will call every..."
    King was then cut off for going over the three-minute time limit, and she replied, "I'll see y'all on Monday."
    In response to the comments, the Page County school superintendent and school board chair put out a statement saying they would not take the comments lightly.
    "Not only do comments such as these go against everything we wish to model for our students, they go against the very nature of how we as a community should interact with each other," the statement read. "This kind of behavior is not tolerated from our students, faculty, staff, nor will it be tolerated by parents or guests of our school division."

    As a result of the comments, the school board said they would increase police presence at schools on Friday and Monday.
    "Luray Police Chief Bo Cook is investigating the incident and is in communication with the Commonwealth's Attorney, as well as state and federal officials," the statement said.
    In an email to the board, read aloud at the end of the meeting, King apologized and said she was "mortified."
    "I in no way meant to imply all guns loaded as in actual firearms, but rather all resources I can muster to make sure that my children get to attend school without masks," she purportedly said in the email. "I would never do such a thing; I was speaking figuratively."
    King, in the email, said she contacted the Sheriff's office to explain herself.
    CNN reached out to King for comment but did not immediately receive a response. During her speech, King noted she has previously spoken at school board meetings and the remarks were not prepared.

    Tucker Carlson Whines He’s No Longer Attracted to the Brown M&M

    M&M’s unveiled a more “inclusive” image for their chocolate characters this week, and it was fairly unexciting. Brown (formerly Ms. Brown) will sport kitten heels instead of stilettos and Green will swap her go-go boots for sneakers. But it was, predictably, enough to send Fox News host Tucker Carlson off the deep end. In a bizarre rant, he whined that M&M’s was on a mission to make the characters “less sexy” and “deeply unappealing” to the point that “you wouldn’t want to have a drink with any one of them.” It’s highly unlikely anyone ever wanted to have a drink with a cartoon chocolate character, but Carlson nonetheless lamented that no one would be turned on by an M&M anymore. “That’s the goal. When you’re totally turned off, we’ve achieved equity,” he said.

    A defamation trial pitting Sarah Palin against The New York Times was supposed to get started first thing Monday morning—but proceedings have been interrupted after the unvaccinated former Alaska governor tested positive for COVID-19.

    Up north they might be referred to as Canadian Africans or simply Canadians?

    MCMINN COUNTY, Tenn. — The McMinn County School Board voted Wednesday to ban the Pulitzer Prize winning Holocaust graphic novel "Maus" from curriculum for "inappropriate language," according to minutes from a board meeting.
    "Maus" depicts the author, Art Spiegelman, interviewing his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor.
    The board had an issue with the novel's vulgar language, saying it wasn't appropriate to teach curriculum that contained such language.
    "There is some rough, objectionable language in this book and knowing that and hearing from many of you and discussing it, two or three of you came by my office to discuss that," said Director Parkison when addressing the board.
    Parkison says that after consulting an attorney they decided the best way to handle the language in this book was to redact it "to get rid of the eight curse words and the picture of the woman that was objected to."

    "Being in the schools, educators and stuff we don’t need to enable or somewhat promote this stuff, " said Board Member Tony Allman. "It shows people hanging, it shows them killing kids, why does the educational system promote this kind of stuff? It is not wise or healthy."
    As a former history teacher, Board Member Julie Goodin says there is nothing pretty about the Holocaust and that the graphic novel was a great way to depict a horrific time in history.
    "It’s hard for this generation, these kids don’t even know 9/11, they were not even born," says Goodin. "Are the words objectionable? Yes, there is no one that thinks they aren’t. But by taking away the first part, it’s not changing the meaning of what he is trying to portray."
    They board emphasized that their issues were not with teaching the Holocaust in general.
    Moving forward the board is looking for an alternative book to fill their Holocaust curriculum.
    "Maus" won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992 and was the first and only graphic novel to do so.

    I think "Free Press" has a different meaning to him than it does to you and me.
    I believe to him it means free to print "alternative truths"
