Well, it looks like Garrett won’t be unemployed for very long. I think we all knew he wouldn’t, but it looks like the Giants are interested in quickly scooping him up.
Despite the fact he didn’t end his career on a high note in Dallas, the man can absolutely coach. Make no mistake about that at all.

Do you know who has that in spades? Jason Garrett. Bringing him onto the staff is a smart veteran move that will greatly improve the coaching staff.
Garrett might have been shown the exit in Dallas, but he’s still going to be in the NFL for a very long time. I can promise you that much.

I&I Editorial
In the immediate aftermath of Iranian missile attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq – apparently designed to save face rather than kill Americans – is it an overstatement to apply Orwell’s ultra-totalitarian slogans to the left in the free country of the United States of America today? “War is peace,” The Party in “1984” assured its servile proles, “freedom is slavery,” and “ignorance is strength.”
After all, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi assured us that the people’s elected representatives could cast their votes for Obamacare while being entirely ignorant of the contents of the law. And the “Medicare for All” being pushed hard by top-tier Democrats running for president, such as Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, obviously means freedom of choice of health plan for no one. To have such liberty, they tell us, would make us slaves of the rich health insurers.
But national security is where the Orwellian really comes through. The reality of war is defeating the enemy, and oftentimes that necessarily means killing your adversary’s military strategists. For instance, over the course of seven months, exiled Czechoslovakian soldiers planned and successfully executed Operation Anthropoid, the 1942 killing of Reinhard Heydrich, a powerful Nazi security chief and one of the formulators of Hitler’s genocide of the Jews. A well-reviewed film of the operation was released several years ago.
To today’s Democrats, however, the war on terror apparently doesn’t mean killing terrorists – even when the terrorist mastermind taken out was actively planning mass killings of Americans and already had the blood of hundreds of Americans on his hands at the time of his demise, as with Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Quds Force.
Somehow, during World War II we never heard members of Congress say what a grinning Sen. Chris Van Hollen, Maryland Democrat, said on Fox News Sunday about killing a top enemy military commander: “You have to look at what the consequences are” of killing Soleimani. “We don’t go around killing all the very bad people in the world.”
We never heard President Franklin Roosevelt’s political opponents complain as Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrat Chris Murphy of Connecticut did on CBS on Sunday. He condemned the policy of executing “high-level political figures of sovereign nations” such as Soleimani, arguing that it risks U.S. officials being assassinated. Murphy’s preference would have been “more targeted strikes against other Iranian or Iranian proxy assets in the region.”
Contrary to Murphy’s characterization, “political figure” Soleimani, like Heydrich, wasn’t elected to the command of his killing force, or to anything else. But then the Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s “supreme leader,” isn’t elected either. Moreover, Iranian elections are themselves highly suspect.
To Murphy and plenty of other Democrats in Congress, killing terrorist commanders is the work of a disturbed mind. “The moment we all feared is likely upon us,” Murphy tweeted over the weekend. “An unstable president in way over his head, panicking, with all his experienced advisers having quit, and only the sycophantic amateurs remaining. Assassinating foreign leaders, announcing plans to bomb civilians. A nightmare.”
Kind of like the nightmare of Churchill bucking his experienced advisers in supporting Operation Foxley, the British special ops initiative designed to assassinate Hitler, which proved unnecessary.
To the U.S. left, bombs and bullets don’t stop terrorists; pieces of paper do. Obama speechwriter Ben Rhodes, in a beatitude appearing in The Atlantic this week, assures us that the genius of Obama’s Iran nuclear deal was preventing all-out war with the Islamofascist state.
“It is likely, of course, that Trump couldn’t even describe the Iran deal’s terms,” Rhodes couldn’t help sneering, evoking unpleasant memories of how Jimmy Carter seemed to know every appendix of most government programs while Ronald Reagan was an amiable dunce. Yet Carter insisted on micromanaging the disastrous Desert One rescue attempt in Iran in 1980, and Reagan struck out Gorbachev and walked off the mound with the lead, leaving George H.W. Bush to close out the game and bring down the Soviet Union – something for decades considered an impossibility.
The real paper in Obama’s Iran deal isn’t anything anyone signed, though; Rhodes never gets around to mentioning the tens of billions of dollars in hard cash the deal made available for Tehran, much of which was utilized by Soleimani for terrorism. Obama’s Iran nuclear deal, in other words, was essentially a multi-billion-dollar bribe.
A War On Terror That Kills Terrorists
“To take a terrorist off the battlefield does not increase the risk of terror,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told CBS on Sunday, and most Americans have enough common sense to agree with him. “The risk of terror is increased by appeasement. That’s what the Obama-Biden administration did; it’s what President Trump will never do.”
As Gen. David Petraeus, architect of George W. Bush’s successful 2007 Iraq surge and later tapped to be Obama’s CIA director, said on CBS of the elimination of Soleimani:
“This is bigger than bin Laden. It’s bigger than [deceased ISIS ruler] Baghdadi. This is the equivalent in U.S. terms of the CIA director, CENTCOM commander, JSOC [Joint Special Operations] commander, and presidential envoy for the region for Iran, the most powerful figure in Iran for the solidification of the Shia crescent, and also the operational commander of the actions that they were pursuing.”
There was a time when Democrats insisted that striking down terror strategists was what mattered. “Five years after 9/11, we have still failed to capture or kill Osama bin Laden,” current House Majority Whip James Clyburn declared on the House floor in September 2006, for example. “The war in Iraq has distracted us from finding Osama bin Laden, dismantling al-Qaida and fighting the war on terrorism.”
Now, however, Democrat after Democrat hails talk and condemns military action against terrorism. Obama in June 2015 even issued “a new presidential policy directive” regarding “terrorist groups” in which “we are clarifying that our policy does not prevent communication with” such groups. The directive focused on terrorists holding American hostages, but it reversed the long-standing strong policy preference against negotiating with terrorists.
The death at American hands of Iran’s chief terrorist operative is “reckless” says Joe Biden, an “assassination” and “dangerous escalation,” in Sanders’ words, and “has taken us to the brink of war,” according to Pete Buttigieg. Warren also called it an “assassination.”
The truth is that Iran has been at war with America for more than 40 years, though much of Washington has been in denial about that reality. What Democrats offer as defense is “diplomacy” with little for Iran to fear buttressing it, and thus better described as pre-emptive surrender. It’s a principle that produces pacts such as Obama’s with Iran, which Tehran has shown in recent months amounts to kicking the nuclear terrorism can down the road – by maybe a year.

thelibertydaily--2020-01-09--The Media Claims That The NFL Discriminates Against Black Coaches; The Facts Tell A Completely Diffe

The Media Claims That The NFL Discriminates Against Black Coaches; The Facts Tell A Completely Different Story

There has been a renewed panic this year over the supposed lack of black head coaches in the NFL .
To be precise , this panic is renewed every year around this time , when the demographic make up of new coaching hires inevitably fall short of the media ’ s arbitrary expectations .
USA Today tells us that the NFL is “ failing coaching candidates of color.
” A column on Yahoo Sports laments that “ black coaching hires ” remain at a “ dismal level.
” We are not told precisely what the Black Coaching Level is supposed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that black coaches are suffering from a “ denial of opportunity.
” Professional Yeller Stephen A. Smith went into another of his patented spittle-flecked tantrums yesterday , screaming that the NFL has a serious “ problem ” and it ’ s “ B.S.
” and “ black men are not being treated fairly ” and so on and so forth .
What seems to have prompted this latest round of racial bean-counting is that , so far , none of the NFL ’ s four head coaching vacancies have been filled by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not exactly true .
Washington hired Ron Rivera , a man of Puerto Rican and Mexican descent .
We ’ ll have to check with USA Today to find out if he counts as a person of color or not .
While two of the other openings have , yes , God forgive us all , been filled by white men , the fourth has yet to be filled by anyone .
Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy , who is black , may well win that job .
It ’ s just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet because his team is still in the playoffs ( a situation that will surely be remedied by the Ravens in the championship game next week ) .
The catch is that the last coaching slot is on the Cleveland Browns .
If you really care about the fate of black coaches in the NFL , you ’ d never root for one to be hired by the Browns .
Currently , there are three — perhaps soon to be four — black head coaches in the league .
This puts black representation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ level as black representation in the population at large .
The racial bean-counters say that ’ s not good enough .
According to them , the percentage of black head coaches should more closely reflect the percentage of black players .
Yes , about that .
Black men account for nearly 70 percent of the players in the NFL .
White men are vastly underrepresented , and , in certain positions , aren ’ t represented at all .
For example , there are no white cornerbacks in the league .
None .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Last White Corner , retired some 15 years ago .
The point here is obvious , and often made , but worth reiterating .
If the comparative lack of black coaches is a symptom of racism , why isn ’ t the comparative lack of white players , and the total lack of white cornerbacks , also a symptom of racism ?
Stephen A. Smith worries that the black men paid millions to play a game are being treated unfairly .
Well , what about all of the white men who would like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game but aren ’ t put on a roster at all ?
Personally , I would love a $ 45 million contract to play wide receiver in the NFL .
The fact that I have the quickness and athleticism of a horseshoe crab is beside the point .
All we ’ re looking at is race , right ?
The racial bean-counters always wave this point off .
“ Oh , that ’ s different , ” they assure us .
How so ?
However you explain the dearth of white NFL players @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sort of explanation apply to the dearth of black coaches ?
Keep in mind , there isn ’ t necessarily any connection between being a great player and being a great coach , any more than there ’ s necessarily a connection between being a great chemist and being a great chemistry teacher .

Andy Reid was an offensive tackle for a community college team .
John Harbaugh never played professionally either .
These are some of the best coaches in the game today .
Indeed , for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ often make bad coaches ( see : Singletary , Mike ) .
So , maybe more white people end up coaching precisely because they can ’ t play .
As the saying goes , those who can ’ t do , teach .
Perhaps fewer black men coach because they can play , and would rather do that .
My explanation fits the facts on the ground better than the racism theory .
If the NFL is prejudiced against black men , it ’ s hard to explain why that prejudice wouldn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s also hard to explain how Marvin Lewis , a black man , kept his job as head coach of the Bengals for 15 years despite never winning a playoff game .

Mike Tomlin keeps his job as head coach of the Steelers even as his squad has failed to get past the divisional round of the playoffs in eight of the past nine years .

Currently, there are three — perhaps soon to be four — black head coaches in the league. This puts black representation on the sideline at about the same level as black representation in the population at large. The racial bean-counters say that’s not good enough. According to them, the percentage of black head coaches should more closely reflect the percentage of black players. Yes, about that.
Black men account for nearly 70 percent of the players in the NFL. White men are vastly underrepresented, and, in certain positions, aren’t represented at all. For example, there are no white cornerbacks in the league. None. Not one. Jason Sehorn, the Last White Corner, retired some 15 years ago.

thelibertydaily--2020-01-09--The Latest Vegan Atrocity: Fake Pork

The Latest Vegan Atrocity: Fake Pork

As some pundit ( whose name escapes me ) once noted , `` Environmentalists make good movie villains because they want to make your real life worse . ''
In recent years , we 've seen this with cinematic characters like Thanos and whatever the bad guy 's name was in Aquaman .
They wanted to kill a bunch of people because they thought it would save the environment .
If real-life environmentalists ca n't get away with killing you , they can at least try to make you as miserable as possible , as punishment for being alive .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that actually works .
They want you to eat crickets and worms and other vermin .
Now they 're even scolding you for watching too much Netflix because it 's killing the planet .
They hate humanity and they want your life to suck .
That 's also why they keep trying to cram fake-meat soy slop down your gullet .
Impossible Foods is well-named , because that 's roughly the likelihood I 'll ever eat their repulsive frankenfoods .
But apparently enough people are buying Impossible Burgers to encourage them to keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Impossible Pork .
Mmmm , yummy !
Elizabeth Lopatto at The Verge tried some Impossible Pork products so you do n't have to : Does it taste like pork ?
Lopatto says she does n't know because she has n't eaten pork in 20 years .
Which is a bit like asking for Stevie Wonder 's Oscar picks .
But she does say it 's really salty .
If Impossible Pork is anything like Impossible Burgers , it has over five times as much sodium as real meat .
Healthy !
But you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as Sigal Samuel at Vox Dot Com explains : See ?
Are n't you ashamed of yourself ?
As the great Joe Bob Briggs says : `` Stop lying and eat your salad . ''
If you do n't want to eat meat , do n't .
Fake meat is no better for you , and it 's arguably worse .
And a chunk of soy protein is never going to taste like the real thing , no matter how much artificial flavoring and salt they dump into it .
If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the planet that you 'll choke down this nauseating goop , what are you even doing here ?
If you really believed what you 're saying , you 'd check out .
But if you insist on sticking around , just get over yourselves .
You do n't need any `` impossible '' foods or `` beyond '' meats .
Just treat yourself to a nice juicy steak or some crispy , delicious bacon .
You 'll feel better !
And maybe you 'll even shut up .

A glowing endorsement!
Does it taste like pork? Lopatto says she doesn’t know because she hasn’t eaten pork in 20 years. Which is a bit like asking for Stevie Wonder’s Oscar picks. But she does say it’s really salty. If Impossible Pork is anything like Impossible Burgers, it has over five times as much sodium as real meat. Healthy!
But you should be shamed into eating it anyway, as Sigal Samuel at Vox Dot Com explains:
If it catches on, Impossible Pork could be a consequential leap forward for the plant-based meat movement. Pork is the most consumed meat on the planet, accounting for 36 percent of global meat intake. If Impossible Foods can get us to eat and enjoy a meatless version of it instead, it could help save millions of pigs from suffering on factory farms and curb the impact of pig farming on the environment. It could also improve human health, not least because it’ll help us combat risks like antibiotic resistance.
See? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?
As the great Joe Bob Briggs says: “Stop lying and eat your salad.” If you don’t want to eat meat, don’t. Fake meat is no better for you, and it’s arguably worse. And a chunk of soy protein is never going to taste like the real thing, no matter how much artificial flavoring and salt they dump into it.
If you’re so miserable about the state of the planet that you’ll choke down this nauseating goop, what are you even doing here? If you really believed what you’re saying, you’d check out.
But if you insist on sticking around, just get over yourselves. You don’t need any “impossible” foods or “beyond” meats. Just treat yourself to a nice juicy steak or some crispy, delicious bacon. You’ll feel better! And maybe you’ll even shut up.

They just wanted to do the right thing .
The small town of Middletown , Ohio , a town of 49,000 people , has opened all manner of homeless services .

Muslim Former CNN Host Reza Aslan to Face the Music For Calling Covington Kid Nick Sandmann’s Face ‘Punchable’ In Now-Deleted Tweet

One day after news broke that CNN settled a defamation lawsuit on behalf of Covington Catholic teen Nick Sandmann , Robert Barnes announced he had sued author , producer , and show host Reza Aslan for Aslan 's tweet describing Sandmann 's face as `` punchable . ''
The lawsuit , which Barnes provided to PJ Media , would slap Aslan with a minimum of $ 135,000 in damages .
When video of Sandmann supposedly smirking at a Native American man outside the March for Life went viral last year , Aslan infamously tweeted , `` Honest question .
Have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than this kid 's ? ''
Nearly exactly one year after posting the tweet , Aslan had finally deleted it on Wednesday .
Barnes responded to the news that the tweet had been deleted by announcing his lawsuit .
`` Apparently , Reza Aslan got served the suit I filed against him on behalf of [ the Covington boys ] , '' he tweeted .
The lawsuit , provided to PJ Media and originally filed in August 2019 , names a broad swath of media figures and politicians as defendants , including Ana @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . )
, Maggie Haberman , and Kathy Griffin .
Barnes told PJ Media he believes Aslan was served this week , because his team was not able to find the author 's address until last week .
According to the lawsuit , the tweet calling Sandmann 's face `` punchable '' further spread the false narrative that the Covington Catholic boys had aggressively insulted the Native American man , when that was not the case .
The lawsuit seeks justice for the defamation of nine anonymous Covington Catholic boys .
`` False @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defamatory per se , as they are libelous on their face without resort to additional facts , and as clearly demonstrated here , [ the plaintiffs ] were subjected to public hatred , contempt , scorn , obloquy , and shame , '' the lawsuit argues .
`` The conduct of the plaintiffs , based on the false facts the defendants placed and circulated into the court of public opinion , led to these lifetime labels on these minors : 'display of hate , disrespect and intolerance ' ; 'heartbreaking ' ; 'decency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for America ' ; 'infamous ' ; 'gall ' ; 'shameful ' ; 'darker chapters ' ; compared to genocide ; 'laughing and egging on ' 'hurtful ' behavior ; 'awful ' ; 'cavemen gestures ' ; 'taunting ' ; ‘ harassing ' ; 'stalking ' ; 'mocking ' ; 'bullies ' who should be doxed , 'named and shamed ' , expelled from school , denied admission to college , be punched in the face , and their lives ruined . ''
Defamation is a high bar in American law , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these young men faced — often for the alleged crime of wearing a `` Make America Great Again '' hat — arguably meets it .
The lawsuit asks the court to award `` damages in an amount not less than $ 15,000 but not more than $ 50,000 against each defendant , '' which adds up to between $ 135,000 and $ 450,000 per plaintiff .

This story has been updated for clarity.
One day after news broke that CNN settled a defamation lawsuit on behalf of Covington Catholic teen Nick Sandmann, Robert Barnes announced he had sued author, producer, and show host Reza Aslan for Aslan’s tweet describing Sandmann’s face as “punchable.” The lawsuit, which Barnes provided to PJ Media, would slap Aslan with a minimum of $135,000 in damages. Barnes is not representing Sandmann, but other Covington Catholic boys whose reputations were allegedly harmed by Aslan and others.
When video of Sandmann supposedly smirking at a Native American man outside the March for Life went viral last year, Aslan infamously tweeted, “Honest question. Have you ever seen a more punchable face than this kid’s?”
Nearly exactly one year after posting the tweet, Aslan had finally deleted it on Wednesday.
LOL now Reza Aslan deleted his Covington tweet. After all this time. — neontaster (@neontaster) January 8, 2020
Barnes responded to the news that the tweet had been deleted by announcing his lawsuit. “Apparently, Reza Aslan got served the suit I filed against him on behalf of [the Covington boys],” he tweeted.
Apparently, Reza Aslan got served the suit I filed against him on behalf of #CovingtonBoys. https://t.co/lhgWTOeAeg — Robert Barnes (@Barnes_Law) January 8, 2020
The lawsuit, provided to PJ Media and originally filed in August 2019, names a broad swath of media figures and politicians as defendants, including Ana Navarro, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Maggie Haberman, and Kathy Griffin. Barnes told PJ Media he believes Aslan was served this week, because his team was not able to find the author’s address until last week. According to the lawsuit, the tweet calling Sandmann’s face “punchable” further spread the false narrative that the Covington Catholic boys had aggressively insulted the Native American man, when that was not the case.
The lawsuit seeks justice for the defamation of nine anonymous Covington Catholic boys.
“False and Defamatory Accusations against the plaintiffs are defamatory per se, as they are libelous on their face without resort to additional facts, and as clearly demonstrated here, [the plaintiffs] were subjected to public hatred, contempt, scorn, obloquy, and shame,” the lawsuit argues. “The conduct of the plaintiffs, based on the false facts the defendants placed and circulated into the court of public opinion, led to these lifetime labels on these minors: ‘display of hate, disrespect and intolerance’; ‘heartbreaking’; ‘decency decayed’; ‘racist’; ‘cried for America’; ‘infamous’; ‘gall’; ‘shameful’; ‘darker chapters’; compared to genocide; ‘laughing and egging on’ ‘hurtful’ behavior; ‘awful’; ‘cavemen gestures’; ‘taunting’; ‘harassing’; ‘stalking’; ‘mocking’; ‘bullies’ who should be doxed, ‘named and shamed’, expelled from school, denied admission to college, be punched in the face, and their lives ruined.”
Defamation is a high bar in American law, but the kind of non-repentant and slanderous attacks these young men faced — often for the alleged crime of wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat — arguably meets it.
The lawsuit asks the court to award “damages in an amount not less than $15,000 but not more than $50,000 against each defendant” on behalf of each plaintiff, which adds up to between $135,000 and $450,000 against each defendant.
Reza Aslan did not respond to PJ Media’s request for comment by press time.
Update 1/9/2019 3:30 p.m.
Both Sandmann and his attorneys, Lin Wood and Todd McMurtry, have attacked Barnes, arguing that Barnes is pretending to legally represent Sandmann. In his communications with PJ Media, Barnes made it clear that he was not representing Sandmann but only other Covington Catholic boys. The first paragraph in this article has been updated to reflect this.
“Robert Barnes keeps trying to suggest he represents [Nick Sandmann]. He does not. Barnes long ago blocked me, so I cannot ID him in this tweet,” McMurtry tweeted, sharing this article.

Sandmann addressed Barnes on Twitter asking, “would you like to explain why you’re suing for me without my permission? You’ve blocked my lawyers on twitter and now claim you’re suing over the Reza Aslan tweet? Retract and stop lying to the public.”
He included a screenshot of this article, writing, “Barnes can claim all he wants that he’s filed it on behalf of the covington kids but we both know that isn’t true. Reza’s tweet references only one kid, and i take up a majority of the picture. The article he even linked (now deleted) stated this … It clearly states it’s about me in the title!”
Yes. Barnes can claim all he wants that he’s filed it on behalf of the covington kids but we both know that isn’t true. Reza’s tweet references only one kid, and i take up a majority of the picture.

Wood retweeted Sandmann’s messages.
“Nicholas Sandmann has many legitimate defamation cases remaining for resolution through litigation. [McMurtry] & I prefer to focus on those matters & not be forced to take legal action against another lawyer but Robert E. Barnes crosses line with his claims about Nicholas,” the lawyer said. “Barnes has been previously warned to stop publicly suggesting or stating that he represents Nicholas. In response, Barnes “blocked” [McMurtry] & me on Twitter. Barnes apparently cannot control his desire to garner publicity by falsely using Nicholas’ name.”
Wood threatened to take legal action against Barnes if he “does not cease publishing & then correct his prior false statements.”
4/ If Barnes does not cease publishing & then correct his prior false statements, Nicholas’ attorneys are fully prepared to take legal action against him. So Barnes can take the easy way out or he will get out the hard way – we will sue him. His choice. — Lin Wood (@LLinWood) January 9, 2020

In 2003, an FBI memo warned that a senior al-Qaida detainee told interrogators he planned to spark multiple, catastrophic wildfires simultaneously in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming to strike a blow to the U.S. economy.

Before we get into the insane Tweet she sent out this morning, ahead of Iranian strikes on US bases in Iraq, mind you, let us recall the recent allegations against Ms. Omar.

Does that sound like a threat, or a suggestion, or both, to you?
To me it sure sounds like Ms. Omar is trying to use Iran’s hostilities against the United States as a tool to divide our republic and attack the President of the United States.
Now, who is the winner is in all this … IRAN.
I understand not wanting an open war that encompasses the entire Middle East, that is a reasonable view, one which I happen to share.
However, it is a completely different thing to be working against the President and hinting to our enemy, ways to attack and weaken our nation and it’s leader.
It fact it is worse than that, Omar’s insinuation threatens stability … GLOBALLY.
Users of Twitter were quick to realize the true nature of Omar’s Tweet:

Again, I understand being against open hostilities with Iran, what I do not accept is the Democrats seemingly, growing desire to ally with the Islamic Republic of Iran over our own nation, a nation which they swore to protect.
This is not the first piece of evidence suggesting that Democrats were siding with Iran over our own Executive branch and military.
The Gateway Pundit pointed out that ‘Democrats blasted President Trump over the killing of the world’s number one terrorist.’ Think about that for a moment, the Democrats are mad at Trump for killing a man who is allegedly responsible for the death of US soldiers and countless numbers of HIS OWN countrymen.

The worst part is that it is not just her, it is the entire Democrat Party…

Planned Parenthood receives $ 1.7 million every day from U.S. taxpayers .

When most people want something back from the store they go to the returns department. But it wasn’t that easy for Jamie Shupe. He wanted his gender back.
It started in 2016 when the U.S. Army veteran decided he wanted to be “non-binary” (no sexual classification). A year later a judge in Oregon gave him that legal designation. Could Shupe alter his biological sex to non-binary? Of course not. Was he still a man? Yes.
But could a courtroom in Oregon, and a judge who had a “transgender” kid, let him have his fiction and legally play along as well?
It’s what happens on the West Coast.
Related: With Today’s ‘New’ Masculinity, ‘You’re Guilty if You’re a Man,’ Says Michael L. Brown
It was the first time it had happened in the U.S. and the Left went mad with glowing praise. Just one problem. After he went full non-binary, Shupe hated it. He eventually thought it all was a big mistake.
So this last Christmas Eve another Oregon judge legally gave him back his gender, returned his name to James Shupe (his non-binary name is not noted), and put his actual gender throughout the ordeal back on his driver’s license.
He told the Star Banner, “The mental health system just rubber stamps you with gender dysphoria (discontent with a person’s assigned gender) and they don’t look at the underlying behavior. Educating myself about why I was doing the things I was doing was key to being able to make peace with it and allow me to get back to reality.”
Shupe warns other who have trod down his unfortunate prior path, “My case is still being used in non-binary gender lawsuits. I want people to know that I don’t agree with that anymore. My hope is by making my story public, I can help reverse what I helped unleash,” he said to the paper.

He told CBN last March, that medical personnel “ignored that I have chronic post-traumatic stress disorder, having previously served in the military for almost 18 years. All of my doctors agree on that.

Instead, quacks in the medical community hid me in the women’s bathroom with people’s wives and daughters. ‘Your gender identity is female,’ these alleged professionals said.”
