For 181 years, the U.S. House of Representatives has imposed a ban on its members wearing head coverings. With Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress, set to take her oath of office in January, that rulewhich would have prohibited her wearing her customary headscarves or the hijabis slated to change.
The change was proposed jointly by Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Incoming Rules Chairman Jim McGovern and member-elect Ilhan Omar as part of a larger overhaul package.
When Omar is sworn in next year, she will become the first federal legislator to wear a religious headscarf. Her arrival will mark a number of other firsts as well. The Minnesota Democrat will be the first Somali-American in Congress and the first woman of color to represent her state in Washington. Shell be joined by fellow Midwestern Democrat, Michigans Rashida Tlaib, as the first two Muslim women in Congress.
Hats of any kind have been banned from the House floor since 1837.

"
Only natural-born American citizens should serve in the federal government, that includes Congress and cabinet positions."
Agreed, at least for all of Congress, all cabinet members in the Executive and all on the Supreme Court.
It's of course not an end all be all guarantee of fidelity to our country and constitution...however, there is no reason why it shouldn't be required. There is plenty enough population that are natural born Citizens of our country to choose from.

"
I just saw a Nestles Crunch ad on TV. The woman was named Fatima Jefferson and she was eating a Crunch bar, and wearing a hijab. Now, I get that TV ads are pretty much no longer showing ANY White people, especially since the next ad had a woman speaking English with an Hispanic accent."
And almost always, when a white guy is shown in a commercial...it's as a stupid dunce.

And almost always, when a white guy is shown in a commercial...it's as a stupid dunce. And in a relationship with a non-white woman or another guy. The demographic that the advertising folks are ignoring of late are heterosexual relationships between two white people. I guess those few of us "dinosaurs" are no longer in the "prime demographic" that the shills are looking to influence.

"Now, I get that TV ads are pretty much no longer showing ANY White people, especially since the next ad had a woman speaking English with an Hispanic accent." I am noticing that what seems like a majority of the TV spots feel the need to show interracial and gay couples, too. I don't really care about who people associate with, or marry. But, I'm bored with Hollywood trying to give the impression that these are the majority of the relationships in society.

The Doctrine and Covenants
Instructions given by Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, 9 February 1843, making known three grand keys by which the correct nature of ministering angels and spirits may be distinguished (see History of the Church, 5:267).
13, There are both resurrected and spirit bodies in heaven; 49, Keys are given whereby messengers from beyond the veil may be identified.
1 There are two kinds of beings in
a, namely:
b, who are
c personages, having
d of flesh and bones
2 For instance, Jesus said: Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not a and bones, as ye see me have.
3 Secondly: the a of b men made c, they who are not resurrected, but inherit the same glory.
4 When a messenger comes saying he has a message from God, offer him your hand and request him to shake hands with you.
5 If he be an angel he will do so, and you will feel his hand.
6 If he be the spirit of a just man made perfect he will come in his glory; for that is the only way he can appear
7 Ask him to shake hands with you, but he will not move, because it is contrary to the a of heaven for a just man to b; but he will still deliver his message.
8 If it be the a as an angel of light, when you ask him to shake hands he will offer you his hand, and you will not b anything; you may therefore detect him.
9 These are three grand a whereby you may know whether any administration is from God

...they swear to uphold the Constitution. OOooops!
Since 'GOD' is NOT mentioned in the US constitution; we'd have to look into the various states that DO use 'GOD' in the writing thereof.

Thats what Hollywood does best.....shove their agenda down our throats. I so worry for our young children/grandchildren. Transgenderism is a personality disorder being portrayed as a variation on normal. Those children are being hurt the most. Scratch the surface and you will usually find that young children, who want to change genders, are really just trying to please a parent who wants them to be the other gender. We need to get some sanity back into our schools, but it doesnt look likely to happen anytime soon. I do expect to start seeing transgendered people in ads soon.

What happened to the cherished liberal mantra of separation of church and state? We can’t have a nativity scene or the Ten Commandments displayed at a federal location, but we make an exception for this!!!!?

No, it’s just for Muslims. Don’t be silly, you’re probably a white male.
