The West is slowly drifting off to obscurity.
At least we are not racist...
Pipeline to Bannon and to Trump...
Trump needs to defeat this.
PING!!!
This legislation was drafted by terrorist-linked groups, and sponsored by four Republicans (and a predictable laundry list of democrats), to silence Americans speaking openly about the threats we face as a nation. Tragically, the Senate proposal, introduced by far-left Kamala Harris, has already passed.

Thanks, Mafe
What a load of crap! Where is hate speech defined? With the current crop of Federal judges out there “deemed” is a very dangerous concept. What are they going to waste time on next? The number of Cracker Jacks in a box?

-—There is nothing in this bill that protects your next tweet speaking out against the genital mutilation of children from landing you in federal court. In fact, it is quite the opposite.-—
Didn’t I just learn that Michigan passed a law to jail any doctor, parent, or whomever if they’re involved in female genital mutilation?
How is this possible in America?
Interesting how H.RES. morphed into H.R. morphed into House Bill ...
“Now the federal government is going even further, by pushing a bill to erode the First Amendment, which would criminalize opinions deemed as “hate speech.”
Resolutions are not law.
Have you read the bill? I think not
Here is a summary

Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of the State of Israel Act
This bill states that it is U.S. policy to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel.
The bill expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the United States should recognize the sovereign status of an undivided Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, (2) recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and transferring the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv will signal U.S. commitment to Israel, (3) the President and the Department of State should affirm as a matter of U.S. policy that Jerusalem must remain Israel’s undivided capital, (4) the President should implement the provisions of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 and begin the process of relocating the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and (5) U.S. officials should refrain from actions that contradict U.S. law on this subject.
The bill states that any official U.S. government document that lists countries and their capital cities should identify Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The President shall relocate the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem by January 1, 2019.
The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 is amended to eliminate the President’s authority, effective January, 1, 2018, to waive certain funding limitations for State Department acquisition and maintenance of buildings abroad until the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem has officially opened.

Smells like McCain he is a member id the muslim brotherhood.
Sorry but Gabriel is absolutely wrong. I don’t know what legislation she is writing about.
Here are the authors. Mr. Franks of Arizona (for himself, Mr. DeSantis, and Mr. Zeldin) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
The bill is to recognize Jerusalem as capitol of Israel and to move embassy there
*lam is a dangerous, violent world-domination ideology that employs deceit and coercion to achieve its goal of making the world accept it.
Blacks commit half of violent crime.
Chopping your dick off is self-mutilation, and a sign of mental instability.
Abortion is acting contrary to human nature.
The media promotes leftist goals.
More?
No law can tell me how to think.
It’s a resolution condemning hate speech, which itself is hate soeech and based upon lies.
It is not law at all...stupid anyway
There are two House Resolutions with the same number so it looks to me as though there is mischief afoot with this bill. They may be intending to trick people into voting for it by thinking that they are voting to make Jerusalem the capitol of Israel only to instead vote to imprison those who speak against Sharia.
