California Has Now Made It Illegal To Not Like #BlackWomensHair ! YES THIS IS TRUE!

Depriving a transgender inmate with severe gender dysphoria of sex reassignment surgery is a form of “cruel and unusual punishment,” a federal appeals court ruled Friday, affirming a lower court ruling. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the state of Idaho to provide the surgery for trans inmate Adree Edmo. The ruling is the first time an appeals court has ordered a state to provide gender-affirming surgery to a prisoner, and the decision is at odds with a ruling issued earlier this year by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Idaho's Republican governor, Brad Little, vowed to...

If You Told me the DemocRATS were doing this 30 Years Ago! If you told me, 30 years ago the DemocRATS would be campaigning on Free Health care for Illegal Aliens 30 years ago, I would say your nuts.

If you would have told me that anything but gay marriage was in vogue, I would have...

Most members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints already knew they were discouraged from taking their guns to church on Sunday, but the church is making sure that message is crystal clear by tweaking the policy to prohibit all lethal weapons. The previous policy called it inappropriate to have weapons on church property. It still includes an exception for law enforcement officers. The clarification comes one year after a fatal shooting inside one of its churches in rural Nevada and as religions around the country grapple with how to deal with gun violence that has spread to...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has found a new enemy: The Electoral College. The freshman Democrat appears to be taking a break from defending her anti-Semitic colleagues, pushing the Green New Scam, and other socialist policies to bash an institution that’s become the latest subject of rage for Democrats who simply cannot let the 2016 election go. In our history, there have only been five times where the winner has won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote. And yet, we’re still here. And let’s use the word “lost” loosely for 2016; Clinton didn’t break 50 percent in that category...

The 2020 presidential election isn’t going to be easy, so Democrats better be ready to “throw a punch for the children,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says. During the Democratic National Committee (DNC) summer meeting in San Francisco, Calif., on Friday, the Democratic congressional leader offered her piece of advice for the 2020 election.

Mexico: Most-wanted U.S.-based jihadi apprehended at migrant detention center AUG 26, 2019 5:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER This story shows yet again what the Left wants you to forget, that immigration is a national security issue. This is true despite the fact that Mohammed Azharuddin Chhipa was not actually trying to get into the United States; he was an American citizen trying to evade detection by U.S. counterterror agents as he went abroad to join the jihad. But if the pipeline goes one way, it goes the other way as well. “A Most-Wanted American Jihadist Caught in Mexico Was On...
