thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-17--Not Everyone In Hollywood Supports Cancel Culture: Some Harsh Words for the PC Crowd

Not Everyone In Hollywood Supports Cancel Culture : Some Harsh Words for the PC Crowd By now , you ’ ve probably heard of cancel culture .
If you haven ’ t , here ’ s a definition and an example from Urban Dictionary .
A desire to cancel out a person or community from social media platforms .
It is characterised by the response of an evil individual when they are shown to be wrong .
They will call on their followers to report the social media accounts of the person or group that did the criticising rather than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where the criticism is incorrect .
Narcissists make up the majority of the people who engage in cancel culture , and others who do this would include immature individuals .
Example : Johnny was criticised for being vindictive against Janny and instead of discussing the problem , Johnny called on his followers to report the account , cancel culture style , of the person who made the criticism .
( source ) We ’ ve been seeing it more and more , but it only applies when convenient .
As well , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decades ago before it was politically incorrect .
For example , Megyn Kelly lost her television show because she even dared to question appearing in blackface , but Governor Ralph Northam , who had photos in his old yearbook of himself in blackface , is still in office , taking away gun rights from Virginians .
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “ can ’ t recall ” how many times he ’ s worn blackface , but he still got re-elected .
Some people get away with it , and others do not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political party you support .
It can happen to anyone .
Nobody is safe from being “ canceled ” by the online mob .
In fact , one day you can be part of the online mob , and the next day you can cross some imaginary line and you ’ re the one being canceled .
Anyone can be the subject of an internet witch hunt , but people in the public eye or positions of power tend to have more to lose .
Sometimes it ’ s a matter of getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on social media and other times it goes all the way to in-person stalking or “ doxing.
” Doxing , if you aren ’ t familiar , is the practice of locating private information about a person and making it public .
It could be their home address , their children ’ s schools , the home of their elderly parents – nothing is off-limits .
One victim of doxing was Dana Loesch , a spokeswoman for the NRA .
She had to do a midnight move to pack up her family and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revealed publicly and threats against her escalated .
Author Natasha Tynes was also canceled , and it nearly destroyed her life .
Really , is one “ bad ” action deserving of all this ?
Especially if it ’ s only bad in the politically correct sense of the word ?
Taking away someone ’ s livelihood , threatening their safety , and putting their children at risk ?
It ’ s out of control , like many other things in our country right now .
Some folks have had enough .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discuss the ills of politically correct restrictions and cancel culture .
The video above may not do much for their careers from the perspective of the PC crowd , but it ’ s a breath of fresh air for those of us who are sick of the ridiculous efforts of celebrities who film condescending videos from their mansions and yachts to let us know “ we ’ re all in this together.

Obviously , if you strongly disagree with someone ’ s personal opinions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to vote with your wallet and stop supporting them .
To some degree , it ’ s reasonable , if you feel that somebody has repeatedly demonstrated that they ’ re a terrible person .
But for a one-time misstep , it seems rather harsh .

By now, you’ve probably heard of cancel culture. If you haven’t, here’s a definition and an example from Urban Dictionary.
A desire to cancel out a person or community from social media platforms. It is characterised by the response of an evil individual when they are shown to be wrong. They will call on their followers to report the social media accounts of the person or group that did the criticising rather than discussing the criticism or showing by evidence where the criticism is incorrect. Narcissists make up the majority of the people who engage in cancel culture, and others who do this would include immature individuals. Example: Johnny was criticised for being vindictive against Janny and instead of discussing the problem, Johnny called on his followers to report the account, cancel culture style, of the person who made the criticism. (source)
We’ve been seeing it more and more, but it only applies when convenient. As well, you can get canceled for something you did decades ago before it was politically incorrect.
For example, Megyn Kelly lost her television show because she even dared to question appearing in blackface, but Governor Ralph Northam, who had photos in his old yearbook of himself in blackface, is still in office, taking away gun rights from Virginians. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “can’t recall” how many times he’s worn blackface, but he still got re-elected.
Some people get away with it, and others do not. It seems to depend on which political party you support.
It can happen to anyone.
Nobody is safe from being “canceled” by the online mob. In fact, one day you can be part of the online mob, and the next day you can cross some imaginary line and you’re the one being canceled.
Anyone can be the subject of an internet witch hunt, but people in the public eye or positions of power tend to have more to lose. Sometimes it’s a matter of getting everyone to “unfollow” the victim on social media and other times it goes all the way to in-person stalking or “doxing.”
Doxing, if you aren’t familiar, is the practice of locating private information about a person and making it public. It could be their home address, their children’s schools, the home of their elderly parents – nothing is off-limits.
One victim of doxing was Dana Loesch, a spokeswoman for the NRA. She had to do a midnight move to pack up her family and quickly relocate when her home address was revealed publicly and threats against her escalated. Author Natasha Tynes was also canceled, and it nearly destroyed her life.
Really, is one “bad” action deserving of all this? Especially if it’s only bad in the politically correct sense of the word? Taking away someone’s livelihood, threatening their safety, and putting their children at risk? It’s out of control, like many other things in our country right now.
Some folks have had enough.
In the video below, several famous comedians discuss the ills of politically correct restrictions and cancel culture.
The video above may not do much for their careers from the perspective of the PC crowd, but it’s a breath of fresh air for those of us who are sick of the ridiculous efforts of celebrities who film condescending videos from their mansions and yachts to let us know “we’re all in this together.”
What do you think about cancel culture?
Obviously, if you strongly disagree with someone’s personal opinions, you are well within your rights to vote with your wallet and stop supporting them. To some degree, it’s reasonable, if you feel that somebody has repeatedly demonstrated that they’re a terrible person. But for a one-time misstep, it seems rather harsh.
But creating virtual gangs with torches and pitchforks is an entirely different matter. It’s lunchroom bullying on a grand scale and it’s done by the very people who will tell you in their next breath that bullying is wrong.
What are your thoughts on cancel culture? Do you think those being “canceled” deserve it? Do you participate in boycotts of certain people in entertainment? Do you try to get others to join you in your boycott? For what reasons would you participate in “canceling” someone?

Some will recall that I warned of the militarization of local police by the federal government back under the administration of the usurper, Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah. All the military vehicle and weapons they were being given, allegedly to “save the taxpayers of the state money,” can be used against those same people now. However, President Donald Trump declared he was going to institute police reform. One has to wonder how this is going to be lining up with the United Nations Smart Cities Network.
To talk about the EO President Trump signed, Mike Maharrey of The Tenth Amendment Center writes:
On Tuesday, President Trump signed an executive order to address police reform in the United States, continuing a long history of unconstitutional federal meddling with state and local police.
The EO titled “Safe Policing for Safe Communities,” orders the creation of a federal database to track police officers with multiple cases of misconduct. It also allocates federal funds for a national credentialing system to incentivize police forces to meet higher certification standards on the use of force.
Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are drafting a police reform package of their own. Provisions reportedly include a ban on certain chokehold and expanded use of police body cameras. There are also calls to end or limit qualified immunity for police officers, a legal doctrine invented by federal courts that legally shields police from being held accountable for misconduct.
Trump’s executive order comes as no surprise, given the calls for police reforms in the wake of Geroge Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. Trump finds himself under tremendous pressure to “do something.”
But the president doesn’t have the constitutional authority to do anything about state and local policing. The Constitution does not delegate any such authority to the federal government – not to Congress and certainly not to the president.
During the ratification debates, police powers were specifically singled out as the sole purview of the states. Tench Coxe was an influential supporter of the Constitution. In one of his essays advocating for ratification, he specifically listed “erecting or regulating the police of cities, towns or boroughs” as actions off-limits to the federal government.
Nevertheless, the federal government has increasingly meddled with state and local law enforcement over the last several decades. In fact, the federalization of policing created many of the problems we face today.
The money and power that flows into local police departments from Washington D.C. incentives police to focus on “national” priorities such as the “war on drugs,” federal gun control and “anti-terrorism” efforts instead of prioritizing more routine local policing such as murder, rape and property crime. The unconstitutional “war on drugs” has also led to the militarization of law enforcement and the increase in police violence.
Trump wants to incentivize police to meet some nebulous federal standards on police violence, but federal incentives don’t have a great track record. Federal asset forfeiture has incentivized “policing for profit” where cops take innocent people’s stuff in order to fill department budget holes. Federal military surplus programs like 1033 incentivize local cops to arm up and march around like soldiers. And the proliferation of joint police task forces.
There is no reason to believe further centralization of law enforcement at the federal level will solve the problems facing police today. In fact, history should lead us to believe centralization will make it worse.
That’s exactly right. We don’t need more centralization, we need decentralization.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-17--U.S. Imam & U.K. Academic Agree: Christianity Is to Blame for Riots & Destruction

Miami imam Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi and British establishment academic Tom Holland are no doubt worlds apart in worldview .
Holland even received numerous death threats a few years ago for his critical examination of the origins of Islam , and although Kablawi may not want Holland dead , he almost certainly disapproves of such inquiries .
But there is one thing they agree on : the problem that the U.S. and the U.K. are experiencing now can be laid squarely at the feet of Christianity .
If you haven ’ t noticed the rioters , looters , and destroyers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s because Kablawi and Holland would have you believe that the connection is more subtle .
In a recent sermon , Kablawi asserted : “ Christianity – the way it got corrupted – is the main reason for what we see happening in this country .
Christianity.
” How could that be ?
It ’ s simple : the learned imam thinks that the riots are happening because Christian doctrine tempts believers to libertinism .
Jesus died for your sins , so you can do anything you want , including , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your sins are paid for : “ [ Jesus ] – that ’ s their god , as they claim – he was killed .
But he was not killed for a bad reason , he was killed for your sins .
So it does not matter what you do , as much looting as you do – at the end of the week , you are forgiven….Go [ to church ] on Sunday and confess or repent and you are good .
As long as you believe that Jesus Christ died for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You tell me how such a religion will create good citizens.
” Kablawi ’ s punchline was predictable : “ So what ’ s the solution for this aspect ?
Islam .
Islam.
” Holland , for his part , is not likely to agree that Islam is the solution , or that the trouble comes from Christianity allowing for moral license ( an idea condemned in the New Testament and declared a heresy in the earliest days of the Church , by the way ) , but he does agree with Kablawi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have on our hands today is because of Christianity , or in Holland ’ s view , “ the legacy of Christianity.
” Holland thinks that Left-fascists are destroying statues because of the lingering influence of Protestant iconoclasm in British and American culture : “ The assumption that heroes should be morally perfect seems yet another legacy of Christianity .
We demand saints , not the often terrifying figures that the ancients knew heroes to be : men whose greatness was often to be measured by their crimes as well as their achievements.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s claim contradicted the Christian doctrine of original sin , that “ all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God ” ( Romans 3:23 ) .
If the rioters had believed in that central Christian idea , they would have done exactly the opposite of what Holland said : instead of expecting perfection from heroes , they would have understood that they were imperfect , and not pulled them down for not meeting their arbitrary standards .
Holland then clarified his position thusly : “ Indeed yes .
Christianity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But as the doctrine of original sin evaporates from public consciousness , so what remains is a kind of Pelagianism : an assumption that we can – should – attain perfection without divine grace.
” When I myself took issue with Holland ’ s claims and noted that the rioters were Marxists , not Christians , Holland stated : “ You seem to find it hard to distinguish between ‘ Christianity ’ and ‘ the legacy of Christianity , ’ ” and declared : “ And if you really think Marx owes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well now !
” But of course the distinction between Christianity and its legacy is exceedingly fine when one is examining the motives of the destroyers : either they were motivated by Christian ideas , consciously or not , or they weren ’ t .
Holland ’ s position involves a refusal to acknowledge the ideological forces that are really at work in the destruction of the statues .
And while it is certainly true that Marxist thought owes something to the legacy of Christianity , Marxists have persecuted Christians and tried to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power .
Is that irrelevant ?
To ascribe their deeds to the legacy of Christianity would require ignoring what Marxism actually is .
Holland ’ s work has been featured lavishly on the determinedly anti-Christian BBC , so it is perhaps not surprising that he would focus on a tenuous ( at best ) Christian influence in the riots and destruction of the statues .
But both he and the imam Kablawi are a manifestation of what is really wrong with the West today : a profound cultural self-hatred that has led to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heritage , and to the welcoming of the historical enemies of the Judeo-Christian West , despite there being no sign that they have discarded the doctrines that set them against Europe for over a thousand years .
The views of this Miami imam and British academic are two symptoms of a much deeper malady .
They are furthering the destructive work of the rioters by placing the blame at the feet of our own cultural and religious heritage when in reality the rioters are trying to destroy that heritage .
Kablawi and Holland @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Churchill ’ s statue themselves .
And there are all too many others like them .

But there is one thing they agree on: the problem that the U.S. and the U.K. are experiencing now can be laid squarely at the feet of Christianity.
If you haven’t noticed the rioters, looters, and destroyers chanting “Jesus is Lord,” it’s because Kablawi and Holland would have you believe that the connection is more subtle. In a recent sermon, Kablawi asserted: “Christianity – the way it got corrupted – is the main reason for what we see happening in this country. Christianity.”
How could that be? It’s simple: the learned imam thinks that the riots are happening because Christian doctrine tempts believers to libertinism.

A reader pointed out that Holland’s claim contradicted the Christian doctrine of original sin, that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). If the rioters had believed in that central Christian idea, they would have done exactly the opposite of what Holland said: instead of expecting perfection from heroes, they would have understood that they were imperfect, and not pulled them down for not meeting their arbitrary standards.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-17--Unlawful Obedience to the supreme Court has Destroyed America

On Monday , June 15th , the supreme Court yet again wrote “ law ” from their bench to impose immorality and injustice upon America .
They sided with base men who want their sexual perversion protected by government and imposed on every person and every institution in America .
President Donald Trump responded to the courts issued opinion by stating in part : “ They ’ ve ruled , and we live with the decision .
That ’ s what it ’ s all about .
We live with the decision of the Supreme Court.
” Trump is parroting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And he – and they – are wrong .
America ’ s founders never said such a thing .
America ’ s founders never would say such a thing .
As legal historian Alpheus Thomas Mason wrote not too long ago : “ Implicit in the system of government the Framers designed is the basic premise that unchecked power in any hands whatsoever is intolerable.
” Any human institution that is not accountable to other human institutions will corrupt itself .
History has proven this .
America ’ s government officials have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supreme Court .
They have aided and abetted their evil by their unlawful obedience to their immoral and unjust decrees .
Many government officials love it so because then they can hide behind the skirt of the Court and tell their constituents that they oppose the evil , but “ They ’ ve ruled , and we live with the decision .

The founders established a federalism so the various branches would check the others if they acted wrongly .
The intent , therefore , of federalism is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ play the tyrant , it is the duty of the other branches to interpose and resist that branch – and stop the evil .

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-17--Rumors Of Wars: China, India, North Korea, South Korea, Israel And Turkey All Move Toward War

As if we didn ’ t have enough already going on in 2020 , now we are facing the possibility that several regional wars may erupt .
China and India had both been pouring troops into a disputed border region , and now there has been an incident where they were actually killing each other .
On the Korean peninsula , North Korea just blew up “ a joint liaison office ” that it had used for talks with the South Korean government .
And in the Middle East , Turkey is warning of grave consequences if Israel goes ahead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Judea and Samaria .
If a major regional war erupts at even one of these flashpoints , it will be another devastating blow for a global economy that is already imploding , and there is a very strong probability that the U.S. and other major western powers could be drawn into the conflict .
Right now , most Americans are focused on our internal problems , and so they are paying very little attention to the growing crisis on the border between China and India .
Both nations had sent substantial contingents of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that has long been disputed , and a meeting that was supposed to defuse tensions actually resulted in soldiers killing one another… Chinese state media described the incident Monday night in the Galwan River valley where both countries have deployed troops in recent weeks as “ the most serious clash between Chinese and Indian soldiers so far , ” confirming casualties but offering no further details about them .
Indian government sources speaking on the condition of anonymity told that 20 Indian army personnel had died in the fighting .
American intelligence believes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ senior officer , a source familiar with that assessment tells U.S. News .
The incident took place during a meeting in the mountainous region between the two sides – both of which had agreed to disarm – to determine how the two militaries would safely withdraw their presences from the region .

I think that Netanyahu is convinced that Donald Trump is probably going to lose in November , and so that means that he probably believes that he only has a window of a few months in which he could annex portions of Judea and Samaria with U.S. support .
It appears that Netanyahu is absolutely determined to move forward , and it also appears that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to respond very forcefully .
In just a few weeks , missiles could start flying back and forth , and the entire Middle East could erupt in flames .
This is such a critical time , and let us pray for peace .
But without a doubt we are living during a time of “ wars and rumors of wars ” , and it certainly isn ’ t going to take much to unleash a major conflict .

As if we didn’t have enough already going on in 2020, now we are facing the possibility that several regional wars may erupt. China and India had both been pouring troops into a disputed border region, and now there has been an incident where they were actually killing each other. On the Korean peninsula, North Korea just blew up “a joint liaison office” that it had used for talks with the South Korean government. And in the Middle East, Turkey is warning of grave consequences if Israel goes ahead with a plan to annex portions of Judea and Samaria. If a major regional war erupts at even one of these flashpoints, it will be another devastating blow for a global economy that is already imploding, and there is a very strong probability that the U.S. and other major western powers could be drawn into the conflict.
Right now, most Americans are focused on our internal problems, and so they are paying very little attention to the growing crisis on the border between China and India.
Both nations had sent substantial contingents of troops to an area of the border that has long been disputed, and a meeting that was supposed to defuse tensions actually resulted in soldiers killing one another…
Chinese state media described the incident Monday night in the Galwan River valley where both countries have deployed troops in recent weeks as “the most serious clash between Chinese and Indian soldiers so far,” confirming casualties but offering no further details about them. Indian government sources speaking on the condition of anonymity told The Times of India that 20 Indian army personnel had died in the fighting. American intelligence believes 35 Chinese troops died, including one senior officer, a source familiar with that assessment tells U.S. News. The incident took place during a meeting in the mountainous region between the two sides – both of which had agreed to disarm – to determine how the two militaries would safely withdraw their presences from the region.
This is the very first time in decades that Chinese and Indian troops have killed each other, and apparently very little shooting was involved…
The meeting grew tense and resulted in a physical confrontation between the troops. According to the assessment, all of the casualties were from the use of batons and knives and from falls from the steep topography, the source says.
That sounds like a scene from an overly gory Hollywood war movie, but reportedly this actually happened.
Hopefully the leaders of the two nations will be able to cool tensions for a while, but the Chinese have a very long history of very bitter border disputes with their neighbors, and without a doubt China will continue to make attempts to exercise sovereignty over this area.
Meanwhile, tensions on the Korean peninsula have risen to a level that we haven’t seen in many, many years. On Tuesday, North Korea actually blew up a building that had been used for negotiations with South Korea…
North Korea has blown up a joint liaison office used for talks between itself and South Korea, the latest sign that ties between the two longtime adversaries are rapidly deteriorating. North Korean state media reported that the four-story building, which is located in the town of Kaesong just north of the demilitarized zone that divides the two Koreas, was “completely destroyed by a “terrific explosion” at 2:50 p.m. local time.
That is certainly one way to make a statement.
And this comes just days after Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, had issued a very ominous warning…
In a cryptic statement late Saturday, Kim Yo Jong vowed her country would “soon take a next action” against South Korea — a move she suggested would be carried out by the country’s military. “By exercising my power authorized by the Supreme Leader, our Party and the state, I gave an instruction to the arms of the department in charge of the affairs with enemy to decisively carry out the next action,” Kim said in the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
All of a sudden, North Korea’s approach to relations with South Korea has dramatically shifted, and that shift has coincided with Kim Yo Jong taking a much more prominent role in national affairs.
I believe that there is much more going on in North Korea than we are being told, and Kim Yo Jong appears to favor a much more militant approach than what we have become accustomed to in recent years.
Over in the Middle East, the Times of Israel is reporting that the IDF is gearing up for a “state of war” as Israel prepares to annex portions of Judea and Samaria…
Just over two weeks before a possible Israeli annexation of some as-yet unspecified portion of the West Bank, the Israel Defense Forces is preparing for a wide range of scenarios for potential regional fallout — up to and including a large-scale wave of terror attacks — while still not being told exactly what the government has in mind. The military is gearing up for possible massive unrest, Channel 12 reported Sunday evening, including what it is calling a potential “state of war” characterized by a Second Intifada-style onslaught of suicide bombing attacks.
This week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again made it clear that he does not intend to alter his plans, and that means that the process of annexation could start as soon as the beginning of July.
A few weeks ago, I wrote an entire article about how this could potentially spark a major war in the region, and Arab leaders continue to make it clear that there will be “consequences” if Israel goes through with this…
Israel’s plan to extend its sovereignty to the Jordan Valley, and parts of Judea and Samaria, will “destroy all hopes” for lasting peace in the Middle East, Turkey’s top diplomat said on Wednesday. “If the occupying power [Israel] crosses the red line, we [Muslim countries] must show that this will have consequences,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said during a special meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Executive Committee, according to Turkey’s Anadolu Agency.
We shall see what happens.
I think that Netanyahu is convinced that Donald Trump is probably going to lose in November, and so that means that he probably believes that he only has a window of a few months in which he could annex portions of Judea and Samaria with U.S. support.
It appears that Netanyahu is absolutely determined to move forward, and it also appears that Israel’s Arab neighbors are prepared to respond very forcefully.
In just a few weeks, missiles could start flying back and forth, and the entire Middle East could erupt in flames.
This is such a critical time, and let us pray for peace.
But without a doubt we are living during a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, and it certainly isn’t going to take much to unleash a major conflict.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-17--Supreme Court Redefines Sex, Threatens Freedom of Religion

When peaceful protests injure hundreds and destroy entire neighborhoods , and the coronavirus infects protesters depending on the cause they ’ re protesting for , words don ’ t mean very much .
And reality itself is under siege in the minds of the men and women who run the country .
A Southern Democrat segregationist inserted “ sex ” into the Civil Rights Act as a poison pill .
Rep. Howard Smith had introduced what eventually became Title VII , with a letter which asked , that since there were more women than men , “ why the Creator @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spinsters , shutting off the ‘ right ’ of every female to have a husband of her own , is , of course , known only to nature… but I am sure you will agree that this is a grave injustice to womankind and something the Congress and President Johnson should take immediate steps to correct… especially in this election year.
” To add to the already hilarious joke , six Supreme Court justices just decided that what the Southern racist really meant by “ sex ” was gay and transgender because in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it can ’ t be taken seriously as a basis for judicial activism and lawsuits .
It ’ s still a joke , but we ’ re not allowed to laugh anymore .
“ Few in 1964 would have expected Title VII to apply to discrimination against homosexual and transgender persons .
But legislative history has no bearing here , ” Gorsuch writes .
If the actual purpose and meaning of the law doesn ’ t matter , then what does ?
What Gorsuch , Roberts and his leftist colleagues believe matters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imaginary as gender and legislative history gets in the way of legislating from the bench .
The Gorsuch decision in Bostock v. Clayton County , Georgia finding that “ sex ” in Title VII covers any group having anything to do with sex in a trendy way has been described as “ textual ” .
It ’ s only textual if you think the text of legislation should be read through a contemporary definition rather than the definition of the time .
When President Taft ’ s wife was discussing their “ gay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mean gay any more than “ sex ” does .
Except maybe according to Gorsuch .
But words can mean anything and nobody cares about facts anyway .
Gerald Bostock , who is at the center of this Supreme Court precedent , claims that he was fired for being gay while Clayton County claimed that the child welfare services coordinator had spent money meant for Court Appointed Special Advocates ( CASA ) at Cowtippers and F.R.O.G.S .
: a cantina in Atlanta .
Cowtippers does not appear in Gorsuch ’ s decision though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than the Los Angeles Department of Power and Water , which does .
The Gorsuch judicial activist revision of Smith ’ s legislation is bad news for those organizations protected by that piece of paper known as the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights .
“ Compelling a religious organization to employ individuals whose conduct flouts the tenets of the organization ’ s faith forces the group to communicate an objectionable message , ” Justice Alito notes , paraphrasing these groups .
But these days there ’ s a new faith in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and right for flouting it .
If you run afoul of social justice mobs , your job will be gone because the company that employs you will blame you for “ communicating an objectionable message ” .

The essential premise of that faith is that everyone must be made to kneel to it or lose their heads .
“ These questions are going to create a tsunami of new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ uncertainty going forward , ” Carrie Severino , president of the Judicial Crisis Network , cautioned .
“ Can a Catholic school deny employment to a teacher whose sexual lifestyle blatantly flouts millennia of Catholic moral teaching ?
Can an Orthodox Jewish day school refuse to hire a male teacher who self-identifies as a woman , contravening traditional teaching rooted in Genesis ?

The answer is obvious and the lawsuits are inevitable .
And thus Smith ’ s old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ traditional religious morality at the institutional level .
That ’ s the problem with writing jokes into legislation , they end up packing a hell of a punchline .
The Gorsuch decision has put the Bible on the same level as the code of the Klu Klax Klan and that great legislator ’ s response to the First Amendment question is that it will be settled in future cases .

Bill Clinton had famously debated the meaning of “ is ” and of sex .
Gorsuch and his five accomplices claim that they ’ ve settled the question of “ sex ” .
Now comes the battle over defining “ religion ” and the “ free exercise ” of it .

And , once that battle is lost , the religious role of rabbis and ministers .
Then they ’ ll be told to ‘ bake the cake ’ .
The larger question , the one that Gorsuch so casually loses sight of in Bostock v. Clayton County , Georgia , is where do rights come from .
The Declaration of Independence had a compelling answer to that question that enabled Americans to defy the will of a king .
“ All men are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Virginian whose statues are being toppled , “ that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.
” Equality was not in contradiction with religion , but derived from it .
Our common origin as children of G-d made us equal .

Contemporary judicial activism has pitted religion against equality and we are less equal for it .
Judicial activism began by taking away the equality of Natural Law and replacing it with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whatever good it sets out to create .
Bostock v. Clayton County , Georgia reinvents the meaning of sex , based on the deeply serious work of a Dixiecrat trying to make a joke of the Civil Rights Act , while treating the First Amendment , that is the work of our Founding Fathers , as an awkward footnote .

To add to the already hilarious joke, six Supreme Court justices just decided that what the Southern racist really meant by “sex” was gay and transgender because in Washington D.C. no joke is too funny that it can’t be taken seriously as a basis for judicial activism and lawsuits.
It’s still a joke, but we’re not allowed to laugh anymore.

The Gorsuch decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia finding that “sex” in Title VII covers any group having anything to do with sex in a trendy way has been described as “textual”. It’s only textual if you think the text of legislation should be read through a contemporary definition rather than the definition of the time.

Cowtippers does not appear in Gorsuch’s decision though it seems more germane to the question than the Los Angeles Department of Power and Water, which does.
The Gorsuch judicial activist revision of Smith’s legislation is bad news for those organizations protected by that piece of paper known as the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
“Compelling a religious organization to employ individuals whose conduct flouts the tenets of the organization’s faith forces the group to communicate an objectionable message,” Justice Alito notes, paraphrasing these groups.
But these days there’s a new faith in town and people are being fired left and right for flouting it. If you run afoul of social justice mobs, your job will be gone because the company that employs you will blame you for “communicating an objectionable message”. Like the worth of all lives.
There’s a new heresy in town and the social justice inquisition is always waiting. The essential premise of that faith is that everyone must be made to kneel to it or lose their heads.
“These questions are going to create a tsunami of new litigation and create a huge amount of uncertainty going forward,” Carrie Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network, cautioned.
“Can a Catholic school deny employment to a teacher whose sexual lifestyle blatantly flouts millennia of Catholic moral teaching? Can an Orthodox Jewish day school refuse to hire a male teacher who self-identifies as a woman, contravening traditional teaching rooted in Genesis?” Josh Hammer, Of Counsel at the First Liberty Institute, asked.
The answer is obvious and the lawsuits are inevitable. And thus Smith’s old joke translates into the effective criminalization of traditional religious morality at the institutional level. That’s the problem with writing jokes into legislation, they end up packing a hell of a punchline.
The Gorsuch decision has put the Bible on the same level as the code of the Klu Klax Klan and that great legislator’s response to the First Amendment question is that it will be settled in future cases. There’s little doubt that it will, and on the terms of Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia.
Our constitutional legacy, like our religious foundations, is based on the belief that words matter. Judicial activism is based on the opposite belief that words can and do mean anything.
“Legislators actually won’t know what they are voting to pass—because words might change cultural meaning dramatically between the time of passage and some future court case,” Russell Moore, of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, warns.
When words mean nothing, rights mean nothing. Rights derive not from foundational documents grounded in eternal truths, but from social trends and the whims of political appointees.
Bill Clinton had famously debated the meaning of “is” and of sex. Gorsuch and his five accomplices claim that they’ve settled the question of “sex”. Now comes the battle over defining “religion” and the “free exercise” of it. Are teachers in religious schools exempted? What about bookkeepers? Civil rights has long since become a zero sum game with winners and losers.
The winners advance to the next stage of suing people and the losers retreat to defending them.
Religious organizations will be forced to defend the religious role of teachers. And, once that battle is lost, the religious role of rabbis and ministers. Then they’ll be told to ‘bake the cake’.
The larger question, the one that Gorsuch so casually loses sight of in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, is where do rights come from. The Declaration of Independence had a compelling answer to that question that enabled Americans to defy the will of a king.
“All men are created equal,” wrote a long-dead Virginian whose statues are being toppled, “that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Equality was not in contradiction with religion, but derived from it. Our common origin as children of G-d made us equal. The whim of a court or any human ruler could not make or unmake our equality.
Contemporary judicial activism has pitted religion against equality and we are less equal for it.
Judicial activism began by taking away the equality of Natural Law and replacing it with the inequality of judicial whim which inevitably nullifies whatever good it sets out to create.
Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia reinvents the meaning of sex, based on the deeply serious work of a Dixiecrat trying to make a joke of the Civil Rights Act, while treating the First Amendment, that is the work of our Founding Fathers, as an awkward footnote. Title VII requires treating Rep. Howard Smith’s joke more seriously than the work of James Madison, and then dismissing Smith as irrelevant to the question of what sex was meant to mean.
What then is this whole thing based on beyond the prejudices of 6 contemporary justices?
As the crank said to William James, “it’s turtles all the way down.”
“Some of those who supported adding language to Title VII to ban sex discrimination may have hoped it would derail the entire Civil Rights Act. Yet, contrary to those intentions, the bill became law. Since then, Title VII’s effects have unfolded with far-reaching consequences, some likely beyond what many in Congress or elsewhere expected,” Gorsuch opinion concedes.
Take Title VII, which was blown up out of a segregationist’s joke into the ultimate expression of protecting women as a “sex” against discrimination, which now eliminates womanhood.
As Justice Alito notes, “The effect of the Court’s reasoning may be to force young women to compete against students who have a very significant biological advantage, including students who have the size and strength of a male.”
That’s far-reaching alright compared to Smith giggling about an entitlement to husbands. Some half a century later we live in a strange new world in which the dominant elite consensus is that women don’t exist except as a set of outfits, injectable hormones and a state of mind. The most popular children’s author in the world is under attack for asserting that women really do exist.
Our elites used to mock Galileo’s interrogators only to deny the existence of something far more real and obvious than the motions of planetary bodies. And the Supreme Court is on board.
Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia continues the process of ushering in a world in which rights are as fluid as the definitions of words and the shifting nature of ideas in a society going mad.
Title VII helped make womens’ sports, now it will help unmake them. If words don’t mean anything, neither do rights. And rights then unmake themselves. Jokes have nasty punchlines.
Smith’s joke continues to resound long after his death by not merely wiping out the Civil Rights Act, but the entire Bill of Rights. That old segregationist’s joke is now set to destroy, as Alito pointed out, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech and women’s rights.
The joke hath given. Now it taketh everything away.
Civil rights have come so far that women and religion both have to defend their right to exist.

COVID-19 – Pandemic or “Profit Maker”?

On April 3 , I wrote an article about an emergency department physician named Cameron Kyle-Sidell practicing in a hospital in Brooklyn , NY .
Dr. Sidell was treating COVID-19 patients and began questioning the protocol used in ventilators .
One of the quotes from him was “ COVID does not appear to be a pneumonia , instead resembles something similar to high altitude sickness .
We are treating the wrong disease .
Those not in the medical field , please spread word of your experience.
” This was sent out by Dr. Sidell in Twitter .
Here is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : //thewashingtonstandard.com/should-covid-19-treatment-involve-ventilators-being-reprogrammed-because-of-damage-to-lungs/ Today , a lead investigator named Peter Horby at the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford released a statement .
“ Dexamethasone is the first drug to be shown to improve survival in COVID-19.
” He added that the drug should now become the standard treatment for patients with Covid-19 who need oxygen .
“ Dexamethasone is inexpensive , on the shelf , and can be used immediately to save lives worldwide.
” For patients on ventilators , by taking Dexamethasone , the death risk was cut from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oxygen , it was cut from 25 percent to 20 percent .
According to Horby , “ This is the only drug so far that has been shown to reduce mortality and it reduces it significantly .
It ’ s a major breakthrough.
” For those unfamiliar with Dexamethasone , it is a corticosteroid .

On April 3, I wrote an article about an emergency department physician named Cameron Kyle-Sidell practicing in a hospital in Brooklyn, NY. Dr. Sidell was treating COVID-19 patients and began questioning the protocol used in ventilators. One of the quotes from him was “COVID does not appear to be a pneumonia, instead resembles something similar to high altitude sickness. We are treating the wrong disease. Those not in the medical field, please spread word of your experience.” This was sent out by Dr. Sidell in Twitter. Here is a link to my article on Sidell https://thewashingtonstandard.com/should-covid-19-treatment-involve-ventilators-being-reprogrammed-because-of-damage-to-lungs/
Today, a lead investigator named Peter Horby at the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford released a statement. “Dexamethasone is the first drug to be shown to improve survival in COVID-19.”
He added that the drug should now become the standard treatment for patients with Covid-19 who need oxygen. “Dexamethasone is inexpensive, on the shelf, and can be used immediately to save lives worldwide.”
For patients on ventilators, by taking Dexamethasone, the death risk was cut from 40 percent to 28 percent—for patients needing oxygen, it was cut from 25 percent to 20 percent. According to Horby, “This is the only drug so far that has been shown to reduce mortality and it reduces it significantly. It’s a major breakthrough.”
For those unfamiliar with Dexamethasone, it is a corticosteroid.
One of the uses of Dexamethasone is in the treatment of mountain sickness, also known as altitude sickness. It is caused because of a reduction of air pressure and lower oxygen levels, which happens at higher altitudes, such as when you are climbing a mountain.

If Bresch does with Dexamethasone being “inexpensive and on the shelf” what she did with the Epi-Pen by increasing it upwards of 400%, profit maker would supersede life-saving drug.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-18--COVID-19 Revealed As Biggest Psyop In Human History (Video)

COVID-19 is rapidly being revealed as the biggest psyop in human history , while the mainstream media and the ruling class desperately try to cling to the narrative to force the New World Order upon us .
In fact , in the CHAZ ( Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone ) which is anything but founded on the principle of voluntary cooperation , they have already instituted a government , for all intents and purposes , and have begun taxing people .
The police chief in Seattle even admitted that what they are doing is extortion .
Yes , they are finally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is wrong , it ’ s theft , and it ’ s a violation of a human being ’ s right to the fruits of his labor : The mainstream media working for the government have attempted to put the public under mass hypnosis , but it ’ s coming undone at the seams .
More and more people are waking up and seeing the invisible chains they ’ ve put themselves in , and it could be a wonderful time for humanity going forward .
As Jeff Berwick says in the above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things , kinda just to laugh at , this has been , like , for a century now , is commies .
They always create the worst disasters .
It ’ s actually not even all that funny when you think about it….people like Mao in China , killing like 100 million people .
Stalin in the Soviet Union .
But now in CHAZ , which is a 6 block area in Seattle that has been taken over by what they call themselves ‘ anarcho-communists ’ but they ’ re not even anarchists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commies .
And , it ’ s just fun to watch .
It ’ s just hilarious watching them just run out of food in like two days.
” Anarchists reject a ruling class .
( ‘ An ’ meaning without , ‘ Archos ’ meaning rulers ) There is now a warlord ruling over the people in the communist state .
This brings Berwick to the point that this is just one gigantic psyop from the beginning .
This is meant to brainwash the public into wanting a ruling class to control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ save them ” from warlords who will control them , and extort them .
The irony is simply incredible .
This entire situation is all scripted and not organic at all .
Berwick says to look out for the number 33 as a way to recognize a psyop .
They tend to always use that number as a way to make it known what they are doing without coming out and saying it .
We should also recognize that all central banks are tenants of communism .
It ’ s the control of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a few people .
This is why so many who are promoting freedom ( such as Robert Kiyosaki ) have suggested unplugging from the Matrix by removing your consent to use their fiat money .
If you don ’ t like cryptocurrencies , buy gold and silver .
There are ways around using their money and it ’ s a gigantic vote AGAINST your enslavement that actually holds weight , unlike an actual vote at a ballot box for the current system .
The Establishment Doesn ’ t Fear Trump , And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It Fears You It ’ s a complete and total psyop and it ’ s unbelievable that some people are still falling for it .
The United States has become a communist nation .
As Berwick points out , the USSA is anything but a free country .
“ They ’ ve got about 20 different agenda with this lie , ” adds Berwick .
“ You ’ d think people would start to catch on to this stuff !

COVID-19 is rapidly being revealed as the biggest psyop in human history, while the mainstream media and the ruling class desperately try to cling to the narrative to force the New World Order upon us.
In fact, in the CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) which is anything but founded on the principle of voluntary cooperation, they have already instituted a government, for all intents and purposes, and have begun taxing people. The police chief in Seattle even admitted that what they are doing is extortion. Yes, they are finally coming out and admitting it: taxation is wrong, it’s theft, and it’s a violation of a human being’s right to the fruits of his labor:

“It’s all staged. It’s all Hollywood scripts basically. Most people haven’t figured it out yet. They actually think a lot of this stuff is real.”
This entire situation is all scripted and not organic at all. Berwick says to look out for the number 33 as a way to recognize a psyop. They tend to always use that number as a way to make it known what they are doing without coming out and saying it.
We should also recognize that all central banks are tenants of communism. It’s the control of the money supply centralized in the hands of a few people. This is why so many who are promoting freedom (such as Robert Kiyosaki) have suggested unplugging from the Matrix by removing your consent to use their fiat money. If you don’t like cryptocurrencies, buy gold and silver. There are ways around using their money and it’s a gigantic vote AGAINST your enslavement that actually holds weight, unlike an actual vote at a ballot box for the current system.
The Establishment Doesn’t Fear Trump, And It Doesn’t Fear Bernie. It Fears You
It’s a complete and total psyop and it’s unbelievable that some people are still falling for it. The United States has become a communist nation. As Berwick points out, the USSA is anything but a free country. “They’ve got about 20 different agenda with this lie,” adds Berwick. “You’d think people would start to catch on to this stuff!”

thewashingtonstandard--2020-06-18--Twitter & YouTube Permit Communist Party Misinformation – Heavily Censor Those Combating The COVID-1

Twitter & YouTube Permit Communist Party Misinformation – Heavily Censor Those Combating The COVID-19 & Coronavirus Lies

As previously reported , YouTube CEO is hellbent on demanding that people using their platform bow the knee and submit to the lies promoted by the World Health Organization and others regarding coronavirus and COVID-19 .
They are pulling videos left and right that speak about scientific documentation that much of what we have heard in the media and from politicians are nothing but lies .
They call that information “ medical misinformation.
” However , they are openly allowing Communist Party Misinformation to flow freely on their platform , and so is Twitter .
YouTube : You Can Monetize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ To The Government Narrative The Evidence That Operation Mockingbird Is A Reality – Now Apply This To The Current Coronavirus Freak Show ( Video ) Tyler Durden has the story at Zero Hedge : The Washington Free Beacon just published the findings of an investigation into American social media companies and their handling of Chinese government propaganda and misinformation which is routinely distributed on their platforms .
An investigation reportedly run by House Foreign Affairs Committee leader Rep. Michael McCaul used Congressional resources to examine how CCP figures use different platforms , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mark the information as propaganda , or censor it all together .
Surprisingly , even the most stringent websites handled the Chinese propaganda with a light touch , even as they continued to crack down on conservative voices and media organizations .
Just today , Facebook removed a Trump campaign ad for using a symbol that a group of left-wing activists claimed to be a “ Nazi symbol ” ( albeit one most Americans , and most Jews , probably wouldn ’ t recognize ) .
Twitter , meanwhile , refuses to remove @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like CCP officials claiming the coronavirus originated in the US .
The House investigators found that of all the major social media platforms , Twitter does the worst job of policing CCP propaganda and the accounts that share it .
While average Chinese citizens are blocked from using the site , party officials are inexplicably given verification status by the company ( earning the coveted blue checkmarks ) .
When informed about specific violations , the company did nothing to remedy them .
Twitter emerged as the most abused platform and also the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the company cooperated with McCaul ’ s probe , it did not remove any of the propaganda posts identified by the congressional investigators .
“ Despite a willingness to discuss HFAC Minority staff concerns , Twitter does not appear to have removed any CCP disinformation from its platform nor made any meaningful policy changes in response to our concerns to prevent the CCP from spreading propaganda on its platform , ” according to the investigation .
“ Moreover , Twitter does not label or provide transparency about the nature and operations of CCP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them by allowing them to operate as verified users.
” Remember , this is the same company where a “ low-level ” employee threatened to delete a Senator ’ s account – permanently – if he didn ’ t delete a tweet over his use of the phrase “ no quarter ” , which is apparently inappropriate ( although a quick twitter search finds hundreds of usages of the term , if not thousands ) .
While average Chinese citizens are blocked from accessing Twitter due to the country ’ s strict censorship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ verified by the website , providing legitimacy to their claims .
McCaul ’ s team maintains this violates Twitter ’ s own policies barring individuals and organizations guilty of gross human rights violations from operating accounts on the site .
Additionally , Twitter does not equally apply its rules .
Prominent conservatives , including Trump , have had their content censored or removed in recent months .
But Chinese officials and news outlets are not held to a similar standard .

“ Of all the companies we engaged with , Twitter is the platform most heavily abused by the CCP , ” investigators found .
“ Twitter only applied a factcheck label to the Tweet about the virus originating with the U.S. military after it had been on the platform for more than a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do anything to stop the CCP from spreading harmful misinformation or provide transparency through labels that inform users they are viewing content from a state-funded or state-directed media outlet.
” Twitter has said that it will only fact-check tweets from prominent voices , such as the president .
Congressional investigators remain concerned that China does not rank as a top priority for the website .
YouTube also earned a low score ( a C- , compared to Twitter ’ s D- ) for similar failures .

Tyler Durden has the story at Zero Hedge:
The Washington Free Beacon just published the findings of an investigation into American social media companies and their handling of Chinese government propaganda and misinformation which is routinely distributed on their platforms.
An investigation reportedly run by House Foreign Affairs Committee leader Rep. Michael McCaul used Congressional resources to examine how CCP figures use different platforms, and what policies each have in place to mark the information as propaganda, or censor it all together.
Surprisingly, even the most stringent websites handled the Chinese propaganda with a light touch, even as they continued to crack down on conservative voices and media organizations. Just today, Facebook removed a Trump campaign ad for using a symbol that a group of left-wing activists claimed to be a “Nazi symbol” (albeit one most Americans, and most Jews, probably wouldn’t recognize). Twitter, meanwhile, refuses to remove even tweets with patently false claims, like CCP officials claiming the coronavirus originated in the US.
The House investigators found that of all the major social media platforms, Twitter does the worst job of policing CCP propaganda and the accounts that share it.
While average Chinese citizens are blocked from using the site, party officials are inexplicably given verification status by the company (earning the coveted blue checkmarks).

The Congressional staffers described Twitter as almost deliberately uncooperative, and the most unwilling to check the CCP figures ability to share whatever they feel on the platform, even if they’re, say, spreading conspiracy theories that the coronavirus originated in the US, or was brought to China deliberately by the American military.
“Of all the companies we engaged with, Twitter is the platform most heavily abused by the CCP,” investigators found. “Twitter only applied a factcheck label to the Tweet about the virus originating with the U.S. military after it had been on the platform for more than a month.

YouTube also earned a low score (a C-, compared to Twitter’s D-) for similar failures. Though at least YouTube labels Chinese propaganda accounts as government propaganda.
