PITTSBURGH (KDKA) The Port Authority is looking into bus slogans that some are calling offensive.
Officials say theyve recently received complaints that one of its slogans, Ziggin Zaggin, is offensive when read backwards, seeming to spell out a racial slur.
Jim Ritchie with the Port Authority says they will remove the messages from buses.

Reminds me of a cruise we were on in St. Thomas, we were on a tour bus going back to the ship, stopped at a red lite and on the side of a little bodega there was a sign that read “Learn English, call this phone number!”..........anybody else see a problem with that?

The response MUST be:

There is no societal obligation to protect all from every perceived offense!

This is reminiscent of the story of some city council whose black members nearly ran a white member out of the city because he used the word “niggardly”. Get an f’ing dictionary, folks! Jesus.

Why we need a president who won’t cower in fear of the left as he purges activist judges from federal courts.
